“I need to discuss with the people in my sect,” Liu Chengfeng said bitterly.

“Fine.”

Liu Chengfeng left the stand while Yun Yang stayed.

“Sect Leader Yun, you don’t look very old. How old are you?” Huo Yunfeng tried to start a conversation.

“Hmm? I’m twenty years old this year,” Yun Yang nodded. “Well, I’m not young anymore.”

‘You’re not young anymore? How can you be not young anymore!’

Huo Yunfeng was startled by the answer. Although he had already guessed that Yun Yang was not very old with his judgment and experience, he never thought that this guy was so young, almost a teenager!

Twenty years old!

A twenty-year-old Saint!

Was he going to scare people to death?

There were not many geniuses at this age with such an amazing cultivation base even at the Sacred Heart Palace!

Huo Yunfeng had thought that Yun Yang might be some old monster who had returned to his youth, but it turned out that he was really so young!

“Sect Leader Yun, you are really a genius!” He said that with great sincerity.

At that moment, Ding Buke said, “Boss, do you want to bet again? We will listen to you this time and bet on Residence of Nine Supremes.”

“Haha…” Huo Yunfeng put on a false smile and said, “You two can go wherever you want to die.”

‘Do you think I’m a fuck*ng fool? Whether Illusory Sword Sect will fight this battle is still unknown, and perhaps they will throw in the towel directly. Do you think I can’t see it? Do you really think of me as a rich fool? I have already fallen twice in the same pit. Do you want me to fall again for the third time? You two are really evil!’

…

Liu Chengfeng had returned to his stand and was discussing with several seniors of his sect. They discussed for a long time but still failed to come up with a good solution. Later on, each of them bowed their heads and their faces were filled with helplessness and humiliation.

At that moment, Liu Chengfeng stood up.

“There is no need to fight this battle. Illusory Sword Sect…admits defeat!”

Admits defeat!

The decision shocked everyone at once.

It was equivalent to the Residence of Nine Supremes winning the challenge without a fight and being promoted to the seventh place directly!

“Fu*k!” The sect leader of the sixth-ranked Beast Trainer Sect broke out swearing. “Liu Chengfeng, you are the leader of a sect with a lower-class Celestial Luck Banner! No matter how afraid you are of death, you can’t just throw in the towel like this! You should at least fight before giving up, shouldn’t you? Haven’t you heard the saying ‘a man would rather be killed than scared to death’? How can you admit defeat without fighting! Don’t you feel ashamed?”

The leader of Beast Trainer Sect, Qin Ruogu, was so angry that his nose was almost out of joint, but there were still some words in his mind that he left unsaid.

‘If you don’t fight, how do we know if Residence of Nine Supremes still has hidden strength?’

“Illusory Sword Sect is ranked seventh, one of the three bottom sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners,” Liu Chengfeng said calmly. “Even if we fall to eighth place, we are still at the bottom. There’s not much difference. We like Residence of Nine Supremes, so we have decided not to fight. By doing so, we not only make way for our friend, but also save some time for all the sects present. We are doing this for the sake of everyone.”

When he had finished, he nodded to Yun Yang, which meant, ‘We are friends.’

Yun Yang, too, nodded and smiled.

But, he was thinking in his mind, ‘I think the friendship between us can only last until the end of this Battle of the Celestial Luck Banners…We are not going to be long-term friends. It is very likely that apart from these people here, many of the disciples you left in your base have been destroyed by Residence of Nine Supremes…

‘If you can swallow such deep hatred, I will admire or be alert of you, but I will never regard you as friends.’

“The leader of Beast Trainer Sect, Qin Ruogu, please come up here and discuss,” Huo Yunfeng said, then turned to Yun Yang and asked, “Sect Leader Yun, do you want to continue the challenge today or do you want to take a day to rest and continue the challenge the next day?”

“We can rest during the Battle of the Celestial Luck Banners?” Yun Yang asked in surprise.

Huo Yunfeng answered graciously, “Of course, you can rest! If there are many challenges, it is very likely that the gathering at Mount Penta-Tier will even last for a month.”

Yun Yang thought for a moment and said, “Then we choose to continue the challenge early tomorrow morning.”

Qin Ruogu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yun Yang say that. Such a decision was a piece of welcoming news for Beast Trainer Sect, because they now had at least one more night to come up with strategies and tactics.

The Residence of Nine Supremes’ high morale and unrivaled momentum at the moment were too scary. Qin Ruogu did not want to admit that, but he was under a lot of pressure.

Although Residence of Nine Supremes now had time to rest, regain strength, and even discuss tactics, they did not know much about Beast Trainer Sect. Yun Yang had definitely made a mistake by giving everyone a night to rest!

On the night of the same day…

“Now is the time for the nine of us to take the medicine.” With a malicious smile on his face, Yun Yang took out some pills.

“This is a wonderful place. It not only prevents any detection and probing with divine sense, but is also absolutely safe. In other words, we can safely break through our current realms without anyone or any sect knowing about it tonight. At least no one will share our joy until tomorrow.” Yun Yang had a sinister smile on his face which did not match his handsome face.

That smile made Shi Wuchen and thje others worry about Beast Trainer Sect.

Whenever he smiled like that, someone would be severely screwed up. So far, there had been no exceptions. It seemed that the Beast Trainer Sect was bound to be in trouble tomorrow.

In fact, just by thinking about it, anyone could roughly predict what might happen tomorrow. The people of Beast Trainer Sect would certainly formulate corresponding strategies and tactics based on the opponent’s strength they saw today. However, when they met their opponents in the field tomorrow, the strength of their opponents was actually be one realm higher than yesterday.

How were they going to fight the battle?

With that in mind, Shi Wuchen and the others wore a smirk on their faces as they took the pills given by Yun Yang one by one.

“Don’t get too comfortable. We have one more thing to consider. Beast Trainer Sect is famous for controlling mystical beasts, and they will certainly use mystical beasts in the matches. We don’t have this kind of assistance, so when facing enemies assisted by mystical beasts, it’s going to be harder than ever to win. We must be very careful.”

“Also, Beast Trainer Sect is one of the middle-three sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners, so it is definitely more difficult to deal with than the Thousand Mountains Sect. We should also pay attention to this.”

Yun Yang told them with a serious face as if he was not the same person with the wicked face just now. The speed with which he changed his expression was almost the performance of the best actor.

“With our cultivation base breaking through another realm tonight, we may not need to be particularly worried about tomorrow’s battle, but I am worried about the performance of our disciples in the match of disciples and formations because their opponents will use mystical beasts. They have no experience in dealing with mystical beasts. After all, our goal is to win all five matches, so we cannot lose even a single match.”

After hearing Yun Yang’s concerns, Shi Wuchen and others began to worry as well, their ease vanishing in an instant. It was indeed a problem that could not be ignored.
