Chapter 2537

Luo Daxiang of the Bronze Gong Sect never expected this outcome. He had been certain they would win and had looked down on the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. But they lost. Seeing the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, he finally understood that one should not judge a book by its cover. Fortunately, the Bronze Gong Sect still had two chances left.

Elder Bai asked Luo Daxiang, "Does the Bronze Gong Sect wish to challenge again?"

"Yes," Luo Daxiang nodded. "Since we have a chance, we must challenge. Even if we lose, we should lose happily."

Elder Bai appreciated Luo Daxiang’s character. "Very well. Rest for one hour, then proceed with the second challenge."

After resting for an hour, the Bronze Gong Sect went to challenge the sect ranked ninety-eighth. This no longer concerned Zhu Yanyi and her group. Zhu Yanyi could only challenge the ninety-eighth rank after the Bronze Gong Sect finished. So, everyone began chatting. The atmosphere seemed particularly relaxed.

Seeing this, Silver Fox smiled slightly. "It seems you are not worried at all."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Silver Fox and said slowly, "Worried about what?"

"After the Bronze Gong Sect challenges, it will be our Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect’s turn. Are you not worried?" Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow but did not answer. Instead, she asked the group around her, including Cui Wan, "Are you worried?"

Cui Wan took out a rice ball and ate it leisurely like a squirrel. Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s question, she said, "Worried about what? If we can fight, we fight. If we can’t win, we use medicine. If the medicine runs out, we run. As long as we don’t get hurt, there is nothing to make a fuss about. There is no need to worry too much."

Hearing Cui Wan’s words, Silver Fox didn’t know what to say. Their hearts were truly big.

Yan Aohan handed Zhu Yanyi a rice cake and said slowly, "There is no need to be too nervous before your turn in the challenge matches." He paused. "And even when it is your turn, there is no need to be nervous. It is just a challenge match. After all, the Heavenly Luck is already ours."

As the Yan Queen, Zhu Yanyi inherently possessed Heavenly Luck. Moreover, as her cultivation rose, this Heavenly Luck would become stronger.

Yan Aohan knew this, and only a few people who understood their identities were aware of it.

Silver Fox thought about it and seemed to find some truth in it. "True. I overthought it."

"Actually, it’s not a big deal. Heavenly Luck is something that never hurts to have more of," Zhu Yanyi said kindly, offering a bit of comfort.

Hearing this, Silver Fox raised an eyebrow slightly and then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Actually, you probably already have a plan in mind, don’t you?"

"You will know when the time comes," Zhu Yanyi said, not intending to reveal the answer. "Sometimes, it is better not to reveal the answer too early. It is better to watch a TV series episode by episode. Jumping straight to the end is too impatient."

Zhu Yanyi’s words carried a sense of certainty, as if the final outcome was already in her heart.

The Bronze Gong Sect was still somewhat capable. After failing to challenge the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, they challenged the Dream Gang, ranked ninety-eighth. They actually succeeded. Then, it seemed they had activated a small cheat, continuing to challenge until they reached the ninety-third rank, where they finally failed. Thus, the Bronze Gong Sect’s rank was determined as ninety-fourth. Their Heavenly Luck count increased to ninety-four, but their actual ranking dropped to ninety-fifth.

Meanwhile, the Dream Gang, originally ranked ninety-eighth, fell to one hundredth. The sects originally ranked ninety-seventh to ninety-fourth also dropped in rank. Conversely, the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect directly entered the ninety-fourth rank. This was also a good result because they had defeated the Bronze Gong Sect, allowing them to advance directly to ninety-fourth. Zhu Yanyi and her group would now start challenging from the ninety-third rank.

Of course, challenges were based on original rankings. The sects that had dropped in rank could naturally challenge the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, but they had to follow the original ranking order. So, although their current ranks were behind the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, it was not yet their turn to challenge. At this moment, the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect was to take the stage.

This time, they were to challenge the Sun Moon Gang, ranked ninety-third.

The Sun Moon Gang was considered an old-established sect. It was said that their best performance had once entered the top fifty.

Silver Fox was again the one to discuss the order of matches on stage.

Silver Fox said to Elder Bai, "Except for the Sect Leader battle, which must be last, the other four battles can be arranged in any order. Does the Sun Moon Gang Sect Leader have any suggestions?"

The Sun Moon Gang Sect Leader was named Yang Bubai, a very arrogant cultivator. She had naturally watched the Bronze Gong Sect’s challenge against the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. She knew Zhu Yanyi was pregnant, so she said, "The first match is a single disciple battle, the second is a team disciple battle, the third is a mid-level battle, the fourth is a high-level battle, and the fifth is the Sect Leader battle. Elder Qianhuan, what do you think of this?"

"That works," Silver Fox nodded. Since Zhu Yanyi was arranged last according to their request, Silver Fox did not mind the order of the other matches.

Elder Bai heard that both sides had finished discussing. "Since that is the case, considering the Sun Moon Gang has just undergone a challenge, both sides will rest for one hour. The second sect challenge match will begin in one hour. The first match of the second round is between the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect and the Sun Moon Gang. Please both sides go rest. The match will start precisely in one hour."

After Silver Fox returned, he explained the order to everyone. Zhu Yanyi listened and nodded slightly. "For the first match, the single disciple battle, Yun Ling will compete."

"Yes." Yun Ling’s face showed a hint of excitement. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so he was very happy now.

Zhu Yanyi continued, "For the second match, the team disciple battle, Qianhuan Sheng. How many people will the Sun Moon Gang send?"

Silver Fox said, "Three."

Zhu Yanyi hummed. "Then we will send three as well. Gong Jue, Chen Xiang, and Wang Shanqiang will compete. Gong Jue will command, using the Three Talents Formation."

"This disciple obeys." Gong Jue, Chen Xiang, and Wang Shanqiang stood up seriously.

Zhu Yanyi added, "For the third match, the mid-level expert battle, Hong Lian will compete again. For the fourth match, Senior Brother Tian Yun will compete. For the fifth match, I will compete. Of course, this is just a temporary arrangement. If you win the first three matches, we will not need to step in for the later ones."

"Good." Everyone had no objections.

"This match marks the true beginning of our challenge series. So, everyone show your strength. Let everyone see the demeanor of our Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect." A hint of pride appeared on Zhu Yanyi’s lips.

The demeanor of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect would set sail from this moment. Everyone would witness the rise of a new sect.

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan understood Zhu Yanyi’s thoughts. "This Sun Moon Gang is actually nothing special. Your arrangement is fine. You still need to rest. Let the others go up. After all, if they can’t win, there is still medicine."
