Chapter 169: Winning Without Fighting! (1/2)

The town’s great leader broke the silence and announced the beginning of the ceremony. He looked at Lin Feng respectfully. He already considered Lin Feng one of the strongest cultivators of the region.

Nobody paid attention to the leader of the Mountain of Isolation anymore. He was one of the weakest great emperors present there, advancing to a great emperor only a short time before. Therefore, the other great emperors weren’t too shocked but they remained vigilant, especially the leader of the Savage Valley. The chief had been his brother!

Avenging his little brother’s death would be difficult. He was smart and hadn’t said anything, however.

The Hundred Alliance ceremony was finally going to start. The event wasn’t that big, actually, as there were only those few powerful influential groups and a few sects.

“First step, please call the competitors,” the town’s great leader said to the old servant, before taking his seat on the edge of the stage. He was facing Lin Feng.

He could sense some demon Qi emerge from Lin Feng’s body, but it was invisible and intangible, so he remained even more careful.

The old servant walked to the center of the stage with a list in hand. “The first one against the last one, Luo He from the Mountain of Isolation against Yao Yu Long, that’s…”

He suddenly stopped talking and hesitated, looking at Yao Yu Long. The Yao Clan had already ceased to exist, except in name. How come Yao Yu Long was participating in the competition?

However, the old man didn’t cause trouble. Luo He and Yao Yu Long both stood up. They were similarly strong.

“I am Luo He from the Mountain of Isolation, how come a tiny little clan such as the Yao Clan is participating in the competition? Surrender now. That way, I’ll move on to the second round. If you don’t cause trouble, I’ll help the Yao Clan. What do you think?”

Luo He didn’t intend to fight, smiling proudly and arrogantly. He had seemingly forgotten that the leader of the Mountain of Isolation had just been humiliated and had lost a finger.

The leader of the Mountain of Isolation looked at Lin Feng icily, and then at his disciple. He shouted coldly, “Make that little bastard of the Yao Clan surrender, or else-”

“He’s one of my external disciples. I protect the Yao Clan. So, what did you have to say?” The man didn’t even have time to finish his sentence when Lin Feng interrupted him. Everybody swallowed and looked at Yao Yu Long. They didn’t look down on him anymore.

Yao Yu Long was encouraged by the gesture once more. He also felt more determined than ever. Being backed up by such a strong cultivator was incredible. He now hoped he’d finish in the top 50, or even the top 25!

Luo He and the Mountain of Isolation’s leader, on the other hand, were both very anxious. Luo He even looked panic-stricken.

“I… I surrender,” said Luo He nervously. He was scared, pride and arrogance gone. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the stage.

“Haha! Is that how brave the members of the Mountain of Isolation are?”

“A disciple from the Mountain of Isolation just surrendered?”

Many people looked at Luo Hu mockingly. Of course, they just whispered those things. They didn’t want to infuriate the Mountain of Isolation’s leader. Lin Feng didn’t fear him, but they did!

The Mountain of Isolation’s leader’s cheeks were burning. He felt like he had been slapped in the face, and didn’t feel like staying there anymore.

“Great Leader, I’m off. I won’t get involved in worldly affairs anymore,” he said finally. He rolled up his sleeves and left. His disciple followed him.
