The fresh air and Pei Yan's relaxed deanor helped to ease the atmosphere in the room. Jiang Feiyang picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and said while eating, "What's so good about this! Competing with the Daoist Realm doesn't risk life and limb, but who knows what trickery Bloodchasm might pull on us, like they did with the Daoist Realm?"
Jiang Feiyang's words imdiately resonated with others in the room. Zheng Jia Ru made an excuse, "Yeah, the match Lin Daozi lost was really baffling. What if he uses the sa trick against Pei Yan?"
"I don't think so. This incident has angered several Lords of the Plane, and under joint pressure, the Candle Dragon promised not to use such petty tactics in future matches." Pei Yan shifted the topic and asked, "By the way, what was the move Nero used to ultimately defeat Lin Daozi? And why did Lin Ruxue ask for the list at the end? Are these two events related?"
Everyone focused their gaze on Pei Yan, hoping Lin Junzhao within him would provide an answer. Once again, she kept them in suspense with a sly smile and said telepathically, "No rush, I'll tell you the answer in a couple of days. In the anti, keep a close watch on the Immortal Palace's movents. Knowing Lin Ruxue, it won't be long before news cos out."
Hearing this, the people in the room looked at each other in confusion. Since Lin Junzhao said it, she must have her reasons, so Pei Yan didn't pursue the question further. After the eting, Pei Yan, Ye Ruozai, and Gu Shenghui's trio entered a private chamber to discuss the strategy for the next match, analyzing opponents and predicting their chances of victory.
At present, the Investigation Hall holds a certain advantage over Bloodchasm, and this advantage is not Pei Yan, but Gu Shenghui!
After several battles, Bloodchasm has fought twice, allowing the Investigation Hall to gauge their general strength, whereas only Pei Yan and Ye Ruozai have fought from their side, without revealing their full power, and Gu Shenghui, who has yet to fight, remains a complete mystery to them.
"According to you, you have absolute confidence against anyone on Bloodchasm's side." Gu Shenghui looked at Pei Yan and asked.
"Yes, I am confident." Pei Yan said confidently, with full belief in his ability to defeat even Nero, whose strength remains unclear.
Gu Shenghui nodded, lightly tapping his fingers on the table, murmuring, "Then it becos simpler. Out of three battles, we'll undoubtedly secure one. If we can win one of the remaining two, we'll clinch this victory. If we judge from previous matches, the best outco is for Pei Yan to face Nero and for us to win the other two."
"They must be thinking the sa, which is why I think they might choose a death match to prevent Nero from being an option." Ye Ruozai responded without hesitation.
"If they propose a death match, we don't have to accept it! I don't think individual matches mandate accepting a death match; it's just a matter of saving face, which we can choose to ignore." Pei Yan said offhandedly.
"No, it's actually acceptable if Bloodchasm does this. They want to secure a win first, but without Nero in the other two matches, they'll be under imnse pressure. Among the three, Di Xin has exposed his strength the most, and Xiaoye and I are confident of defeating him. If Nero challenges anyone besides Pei Yan, we ensure one of us faces Di Xin first, leaving Pei Yan to deal with Ivan, whose strength remains unclear, and can still secure the ultimate victory."
As Gu Shenghui finished, his finger tapping abruptly stopped, and he looked at Ye Ruozai with a slight smile, "Besides, if Ye Ruozai and I face Nero, it doesn't necessarily an a loss, right, Xiaoye?"
Ye Ruozai lowered his head and said solemnly, "Facing Bloodchasm's trio from the previous matches, I am confident of winning, and even against Nero, I have a fighting chance. But now...."
Saying this, Ye Ruozai raised his head, looking worriedly at Pei Yan, "You ntioned that Candle Dragon is unscrupulous to achieve its goals, taking such significant risks to get rid of its first major obstacle to the first place, the Daoist Realm! Right? Since he ca up with a way to specifically counter Lin Daozi to ensure victory, who can guarantee he doesn't have a plan for dealing with you or us? In terms of determination and tactics, he's on par with anyone here."
"Indeed!" Ye Ruozai's words made Pei Yan nod approvingly, "There's still fifteen days until the next match, during which Candle Dragon might add more winning chips for his disciple, which we have no way of knowing." As he spoke, Pei Yan extended his chanical arm, gazing at his hand opening and closing with determination, "But regardless of how they increase their chips, as long as they don't use the bizarre thod they used against Lin Daozi, I am confident of defeating my opponent! As for the other two matches…."
"You don't have to worry about the other two matches, Candle Dragon might increase their chips! I will too!" Lin Junzhao's voice suddenly interrupted Pei Yan's words with a laugh, "Our luck isn't bad, Bloodchasm faced off against the Daoist Realm first, and they played a trump card they were saving for the finals. They won! But they also angered the other players at the table. If we want victory, many would like to see Bloodchasm defeated as well. Don't worry, soon soone will co to deliver us new chips, and in these two days, you just need to rest and stay sharp for the upcoming matches."
Lin Junzhao's words effectively cald the group's excessive worries about the match. Over the next two days, they adjusted their physical condition to ensure they could compete at their strongest, all the while eagerly awaiting the arrival of the person Lin Junzhao ntioned, who would be delivering the chips. However, instead of receiving the expected visitor, they were t with shocking news first.
"What did you say? Peach Blossom Spring has been expelled from the Immortal Palace!" Gu Shenghui, who had been in seclusion, was astonished when he heard the news reported by i Simiao.
Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Blossom Spring! When Lin Ruxue asked for that list, Pei Yan knew so sect would have bad luck, but he never imagined it would be Peach Blossom Spring, one of the Six Mansions of the Immortal Palace. Pei Yan's understanding of this sect was limited to the encounter with the alcohol-using elder during the chase for the concealed Bloodchasm mber in the city. Little did he expect this sect would turn out to be traitorous.
This news could probably cause a bigger shake in the Daoist Realm than Bloodchasm's narrow victory over the Immortal Palace! It's only been two days, and Lin Ruxue has moved fast.
Pei Yan, caught in shock by the news, was still deep in thought when i Simiao continued, "Yes, just received the news. Peach Blossom Spring has been expelled from the Six Mansions of the Immortal Palace. Its successor sect will be appointed personally by Spirit Lord Lin Ruxue after this individual tournant concludes."
