Chapter 683 Retired Veteran (1/2)

A high-profiled Jindan Stage level one-on-one challenge drew to a close amidst the laughter and joyous talks of countless of people.

The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals camp had won a brilliant victory that exceeded anyone's expectation.

Although it was a close match from the score 3:2 point of view—except for the undoubted victory of w.a.n.g Wu the Number One Jindan in Nine Regions, the fight under w.a.n.g Lu's leaders.h.i.+p actually resulted in a draw of 2:2.

However, the real victory lied beyond the final score.

In the first match, Liu Li not only won, but she also perfectly killed Little Poison Immortal, rooting out the slaughtering devil whose hands were wet with the blood of members of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. In the second match, although Zhu s.h.i.+yao failed to score a victory, she managed to force Flesh Ma.s.sacre to move like a clown, embarra.s.sing him. Quan Zouhua's fight in the third match was the most ferocious, devouring Ravenous Wolf, the strongest opponent in the lineup, turning the digested energy into her own!

The Earth Immortals not only lost the score, but they also lost the lives of their two veterans. One must know that these Earth Immortals were all elite veterans who had experienced numerous battles and tribulations, and even battles against the Fallen Immortals. After waking up from sixteen thousand years of sleep, any one of them could 'produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another'. But now in just one challenge, they lost two of their members, truly unprecedented!

In contrast, the face and IQ that Bai Ze lost in the last match was not that important.

Therefore, after the match, in the Earth Immortals camp, no one dared to speak out. The depressing atmosphere spread to over one hundred people and stayed there.

This was the first time it happened in the few months of the Grand Compet.i.tion. Because although there were more than one hundred people in the Earth Immortals camp, only a few main forces like Xuan Mo and Bai Ze were really enthusiastic partic.i.p.ants. Most of the others preferred to just watch, they didn't care much about this Grand Compet.i.tion. Thus, when w.a.n.g Lu began to obtain a winning streak, they just made a joke, pointed it out, and then busied themselves with their own things.

Then came the news of the death of Little Poison Immortal and Ravenous Wolf in battle.

Even those who completely didn't care about the Grand Compet.i.tion turned their attention to it.

”What is wrong with you guys?”

Of course, the object of the blame wouldn't be on the deceased person, but the survivors. Flesh Ma.s.sacre was a slaughtering devil, so no one wished to talk to him more. Therefore, the only people who got blamed were Bai Ze and Illusionary Child.

Illusionary Child had nothing to say about his own failure. After his defeat, he briefly explained the situation in one sentence: ”Whoever has the ability, go fight one-on-one against her. If you win, I will present my Ten Thousand Illusions Spirit to you!” And then he turned around and left. His swagger was even bigger than the winner.

However, when it came to Bai Ze, it was really inexcusable.

The opponent was not an outside path cultivator, and with the strength of peak Jindan, how could Bai Ze, with his capacity as the vice leader of Earth Immortal camp, lose? His strength was far superior to that of the opponent, his immortal treasure was far better than the opponent's, and his actual fighting experience was much richer than the opponent. So how could he lose?

In the final a.n.a.lysis, this could only be blamed on IQ. However, the humiliation due to IQ on a person was far greater than that of the power gap and grade difference of magical treasure.

Bai Ze was not someone who vainly attached importance to face, but when he returned to the camp of Earth Immortals in defeat and then heard a piece of doubt and criticism from his comrades, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.

His immortal path was the path of negation, making him specifically responsible to voice out opposing opinion. Even when in the past their powerful leader with unique prestige behaved badly, he openly scolded him in the face repeatedly.

And now that the person who made the mistake turned out to be him, would he show mercy on himself?

The answer was of course not. Bai Ze was equally harsh to others and to himself.

”With my ability, I'm no longer suitable for any position in the group. So, from now on, I'm just an ordinary member of our group.”

This was Bai Ze's accountability to everyone, which was shocking to them.

Everyone knew that Bai Ze's position in the group was second only to their Big Brother late leader. His vice leader position was well-deserved. Even the man in black whose words carried the heaviest weight did not have as high a position as Bai Ze in the past. More importantly, Bai Ze had a unique veto power in the group.

In short, if Bai Ze thought that something was seriously not feasible, he could use his authority to veto it. Of course, because this authority was too important, the leader of Earth Immortal camp originally gave him only three opportunities to do so.

In their long struggle against the Fallen Immortal, Bai Ze had used up this authority twice. Each one was used to overrule the order of the leader of Earth Immortals. One of which saved many lives, while another one failed to produce wins or losses but ultimately not a miscalculation… In fact, Bai Ze also relied on those two successes to strengthen his position within the camp.

And now, he still had one supreme authority remain. Although it was only one, its significance was extraordinary. The veto power given to him by their late leader could veto everything, including an Earth Immortal's life. In other words, if Bai Ze thought that someone was not pleasing to his eyes, he could kill that person in one sentence.

However, right now, Bai Ze had voluntarily given up this power.

Because of this, many people were secretly relieved because Bai Ze was really an unlikeable person. Most people in their group had a bad relations.h.i.+p with him.

”Bai Ze, no need to be so impulsive. Your opponent is w.a.n.g Lu, so it's not a big deal for you to lose…”

However, at this time, Xuan Mo, who was usually at odds with Bai Ze, was the first one who stood up to try to keep him.

But Bai Ze's decision had already been made, and it was difficult to reverse. ”As you said, to lose is not a big deal, but for me to lose like this, I could not s.h.i.+rk away from my responsibility.”

With that, seeing that Xuan Mo was still unwilling, Bai Ze sighed with emotion.

”I know that I've never been a likable… person, opposing what other people say every day, and I also didn't revere Big Brother like you guys… You guys dislike and even detest me. But I actually don't care. Even if you become angry out of shame and ignore the last words of Big Brother and directly kill me, I will not care.”
