185: Lian Zhan Three Strong Men
She announced a decision to everyone.
"Because of time constraints."
"In order to quickly determine the winner."
"Therefore, after the Sect's decision."
"Yang Yi will defend the stage."
"The other three will challenge."
"If Yang Yi wins two matches."
"Yang Yi will be the first place."
"If Yang Yi loses in the first or second match."
"Yang Yi will be ranked third."
After the announcement, the Sect Master asked Yang Yi if he agreed.
The other three had already agreed.
Now they were just waiting for Yang Yi's agreement.
Yang Yi quietly told Sect Master Sect Leader Yue Sha that he disagreed.
The Sect Master smiled.
He loudly announced to everyone present:
"Yang Yi just said he agreed."
Yang Yi rolled his eyes and stomped off in a huff.
Sect Master Sect Leader Yue Sha did not stop him.
She smiled and told everyone,
"Rest for half an hour, then continue the competition."
Half an hour passed.
The Three Old Ancestors' first Disciple, Li Chenfeng, had already ascended the stage, but Yang Yi was nowhere to be seen.
At first, everyone was patient, but after waiting for another stick of incense, they grew impatient.
Everyone started asking, "What's going on?"
"Did that guy run away?"
"He didn't want to participate in this competition before."
"I guess he ran away."
"Do you think he couldn't beat the opponent?"
"So he ran away?"
"Does he look like that kind of person?"
"He's not even afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of losing?"
"He just doesn't want to fight."
Few people believed that Yang Yi ran away out of fear.
Everyone knew that Yang Yi had once dared to stand up to the Zhang Family, which was larger than the Yang family.
He showed no fear even when facing the Sect Master.
In the Jinling Family, he dared to fight against strong opponents even if it meant death.
Although the person on the stage was strong, he was still not as formidable as the enemies Yang Yi had faced before.
How could Yang Yi flee without a fight?
He must have been unwilling.
Some even speculated that Yang Yi disdained fighting the Disciples of the Three Old Ancestors.
Hearing the discussions below the stage, Li Chenfei on the stage fumed with anger, his beard bristling, and he cursed loudly,
"Yang Yi, if you're a man, get out here!
Don't be a coward!"
The Disciples of the other two Old Ancestors also cursed loudly below the stage.
"Don't make excuses for him!"
"This scoundrel is just scared!"
"If he wasn't scared, why wouldn't he dare to go on stage?"
"Yes, he's scared!
He's afraid we'll defeat him!"
Someone in the crowd sneered, "Can you guys stop pretending?
If you really had the strength, would you still need to become someone else's Disciple at such an old age?
Don't you even look at how old you are?
And you still have the nerve to go on stage?
Yang Yi is more sensible than you.
He knows he's old and too embarrassed to compete with young people.
You, on the other hand, shamelessly go on stage!
Pah!
Shameless!"
These words spoke the hearts of the young Disciples.
A group of people cursed the Three Elders, making them flush red.
All their anger accumulated on Yang Yi.
Sect Master Sect Leader Yue Sha looked around but did not find Yang Yi.
Her face was slightly ashen, and she furiously told Yue Lingxin to go find him.
Yue Lingxin meekly acknowledged but didn't move.
Just as everyone was discussing, someone in the back of the crowd suddenly shouted, "Yang Yi is here!"
Everyone immediately quieted down, looking for Yang Yi.
They saw Yang Yi leisurely walking towards the stage, chatting and laughing with Yang Ming.
After he finished talking with Yang Ming, he awkwardly cupped his hands and apologized to the people around him.
"Sorry, sorry.
I was having too much fun talking with Yang Ming.
I completely forgot about the martial arts competition."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Forgetting about a martial arts competition because of chatting—it seemed he truly didn't care about this competition.
Yang Yi was very happy today because Yang Ming had already Breakthrough to the Earth Moon Realm.
As long as a few more people in the Family Breakthrough to the Earth Star Realm, his mission would be complete.
This was a great piece of good news.
Upon ascending the stage, Yang Yi was about to apologize to Li Chenfeng when Li Chenfeng cursed him as a bastard and a son of a bitch.
He raised his double hooks and aimed them at Yang Yi's shoulders.
Yang Yi dodged sideways, still remembering to apologize.
"Apologize to your grandma!" Li Chenfeng cursed again.
He swept his double hooks, aiming at Yang Yi's legs.
Yang Yi sprang into the air, his energy sword forming in his hand.
The first sword of the Seven Injury Divine Sword was immediately unleashed.
With a single sword strike, Yang Chenfeng was sent flying off the stage.
He tried to climb back up but was pulled back by someone nearby.
"I said, do you understand the rules of the competition?
Falling off the stage means you lose.
What are you going back for?"
While Li Chenfeng was entangled with a few people, another Elder flew onto the stage and started fighting Yang Yi.
Yang Yi still used the first sword of the Seven Injury Divine Sword and easily defeated his opponent.
The last Disciple of the Old Ancestor glared fiercely at the triumphant Yang Yi on the stage and roared, "Ah, I'm going to kill you!"
As soon as he reached the stage, before his feet even touched the ground, Yang Yi once again unleashed the first sword of the Seven Injury Divine Sword, sending the last person off the stage as well.
"Just luck, just luck." Yang Yi cupped his hands and grinned at everyone.
He gracefully descended from the stage and returned to Yang Ming's side, chatting and laughing with him.
The Three Elders gnashed their teeth, while others had varying thoughts.
There were many matters to attend to in the Family, so Yang Ming dared not stay long.
He asked Yang Yi if he still needed anything; if not, he would leave.
Yang Yi waved his hand, signaling him to go.
Yang Ming bowed respectfully and left the Luoyue Sect.
As soon as he left, Yue Lingxin skipped over and lightly patted Yang Yi's back.
"What are you doing?" Yang Yi turned around and saw it was the little girl.
He pouted and walked towards the Luoyue Sect's area.
Yue Lingxin followed closely, chattering all the way.
As soon as Yang Yi sat down, Sect Leader Yue Sha arrived with a cold expression.
She first scolded Yang Yi, saying he shouldn't have been so aggressive on the stage.
"Being too sharp is not a good thing."
Yang Yi pouted and gave a reluctant smile.
"Didn't you tell me to win?"
Sect Leader Yue Sha was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Yang Yi.
This child was becoming more and more disobedient.
Yue Lingxin quickly grabbed her Master's hand from the side.
"Master, don't hit him anymore.
He already won."
Sect Leader Yue Sha glared at her young Disciple.
"Do you think I want to manage you two?
I'm just afraid you'll cause trouble for me."
She shook off Yue Lingxin's hand and left.
The Sect's Grand Martial Arts Competition concluded, and Yang Yi, as expected, won first place.
The next day, the Sect announced the competition results and awarded certain rewards to each of the top ten.
Yang Yi and the others, having received their rewards, left.
Only Sect Leader Yue Sha remained on the stage.
Sect Leader Yue Sha directly announced, "Today, there is one more thing to announce to everyone.
This is extremely important to our Luoyue Sect.
I hope everyone present can bear witness."
