Chapter 636: Lie Low (1/2)
In the first half of the night, the storm of strong killing intent filled Heavenly Yao Sect, but at the latter half of the night, the storm calm down.
The night quickly passed.
After dawn, the competition continued at Heavenly Yao Square. Nan Tiandu who had used the pseudonym of Nan Batian continued to take part in the matches, winning five matches just in the morning. His opponents who were from small sects, although they lost, they were not seriously injured. But the three opponents from Heavenly Yao Sect, however, were different. They were all violently beaten to death, not a single one escaped a miserable death.
Last night, Heavenly Yao Sect’s Black and White Elders had rushed to Guest Receiving Peak, wanting to capture Bellowing Waves Sect’s Big Disciple with dense killing intent, saying he had killed Heavenly Yao Sect’s Hall Master Xiahou Qing. This news had already spread all over. Thus, in the eyes of onlookers, Nan Tiandu was just clearly venting his anger on the stage. As long as his opponent was from Heavenly Yao Sect, he would fight like his life depend on it.
Upon seeing Nan Tiandu was so fierce, many guest sects cheered for him, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, however, looked unsightly. Some people refused to accept this and restrained their cultivation to enter the match, wanting to behead Nan Tiandu, the result, all died under Nan Tiandu’s hands.
On the platform, Elder Tianqing’s complexion looked ghastly pale. With great difficulty, he notified a temporary break and left.
In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, he had meticulously planned to make a show of his strength, but not only he wasn’t in the limelight, he was also ferociously suppressed by others, why was he so unlucky?
Elder Tianqing who held power in his hands truly couldn’t sit still on his seat. After returning to Tianqing Peak, he sent someone to call Son of Heaven Jin Hong over and gave the latter some treasures. Now, all his hopes were pinned on Son of Heaven Jin Hong, this sect’s Big Disciple. If even the latter was unable to defeat Nan Tiandu, then this well-planned Grand Sacrifice Competition would completely become a big joke. Even the reformation he was personally handling would encounter serious setbacks, in addition, even his status might be shaken.
For millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect always had just Heavenly Maiden, no Big Disciple or something else. This was the ancestral system passed down by the founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress. With the sudden removal of this ancestral system, abolishing Heavenly Maiden position, in addition, establishing Big Disciple position, this in itself had already encountered the doubts and resistance of many experts. There were also many experts who had yet to express their position, but inwardly opposed this reform. The position of Heaven Maiden had been going on for a long time, even after disposing of Hong Zixia, another Heavenly Maiden could be appointed. Directly reforming that position to Big Disciple position, many were unable to accept.
This time, in Grand Sacrifice Competition, if Son of Heaven Jin Hong defeats experts of all sects and become the final winner, then that would convince the public, shutting up those doubtful and conflicting experts of the sect; but, if he lost under the hands of Nan Tiandu, then that would be troublesome!
Elder Tianqing who could summon rain and wind in former days began to become anxious.
The sudden appearance of Nan Tiandu disrupted all his plans and arrangements. In order to ensure guarantee, he had to go all-out and conspire with Son of Heaven Jin Hong and others in the palace.
Afternoon, after the break of two hours, people began to gather to Heavenly Yao Square and the competition restarted again.
As expected, Nan Tiandu continued to remain standing. After winning nine matches in a row, he finally left to prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow. But, before leaving the stage, he coldly looked towards the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect and showed them a middle finger, directly provoking these disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who considered themselves the best in the world in former days.
