Chapter 85 - The Fight Begins! Flower Sect vs. Big Sects Alliance (1/2)
It happened two days after the discovery of the gigantic flower, or an exact week of their stay in the Secret Dimension - the enormous lotus flower finally began to open its petals.
In these two days, the remaining participants, who hadn't died or been severely injured, had all gathered there. The great battle was about to take place.
Suddenly, a cold voice came out of the flower.
”Only one of you can enter and receive what is inside.”
Only one of them? At these words, everyone swallowed their saliva. Even though they were ready to fight each other, they still hoped they could form groups with which to share the loot. But if only one of them could enter, there was no room for alliances. On the contrary, even among fellow sect members, there would be disagreement to decide who would get what was inside.
At that point, Zan said to the others.
”Regardless of who enters, we will support that person, all right?”
His face had a twisted expression. You could clearly see that he craved for what was kept inside. But he still said those words. During these months, he had matured a lot, as well as Cao Su. Even though they still had traces of their arrogant behavior, it was still true that they were the sons of two sect elders. Therefore, they would have set aside their pride and their disagreements with others for the common good of their sect.
Hei and the others nodded silently. Each of them felt the same thing. If Zan himself was acting like a mature person, they too would do the same.
Meanwhile, a young blond-haired man with brown shades approached the flower and proclaimed loudly.
”What the fuck are you waiting for? We are martial artists, what are you afraid of? If you want the treasure, then take it by force; if instead, you are afraid of leaving behind your skin, fuck off from my way.”
His voice awakened all those present who were afraid about the fact there would be only one winner.
”Who is this fool? Are you looking for trouble?”
”Idiot! That's Chang Huan! ”
”Chang Huan? The number one of the younger generation of the whole Rainbow Island?”
”Ahahaha, well said Chang Huan. To start, I would say it's better to start burning the small fries that are present here.” Another voice resounded. It belonged to a young red-haired man dressed in the same garment as Chang Huan.
”It is Wen Guiying, the Pyromaniac.” Someone said among those present.
”Sects and families of the Mountain Kingdom. The treasure inside is worthy only of us martial artists belonging to the five big sects. Even if you should incapacitate us, do you think you have a chance of being able to grab the treasure for yourselves? However, if you block the other middle sects and families, the Tremor Sect will adequately reward each of you if Wen Guiying or I was to enter. I swear by the honor of the Tremor Sect.” Chang Huan proclaimed loudly.
At those words, the artists of the Mountain Kingdom began having second thoughts. Had it not been for the condition that only one person could enter, they would have refused. But with such a low percentage of them being the chosen ones, they didn't dare to come forward.
Therefore, Chang Huan's proposal happened to be just in time. The two of the Tremor Sect were among the most favored of them all, and if they had helped them, they could earn something without having to rely on an uncertain probability.
”The same is true for the Frozen Sect and the Bubble Sect. As long as the Lake Kingdom martial artists keep the others at bay, both our sects will guarantee rewards for all of you in case of victory.”
It was a woman with long, shiny white hair who spoke. It was Zheng Yawen, the leader of the Frozen Sect. Next to her was Sun Xiulan, the leader of the Bubble Sect. Her light-blue hair sinuously waved while she remained impassive to the statement made by the Tremort Sect.
”We too, Tree Sect, promise the same to all the martial artists of the Forest Kingdom. And I guess the same goes for the Flower Sect, doesn't it?” Ren said as he turned his head where Hei and the others were hidden.
Having been discovered, they couldn't help but come out into the open, creating a stir on the battlefield.
”It is the Flower Sect! How is it possible?! They are all seven. They haven't lost any members.”
”So, are they the favorites?”
”What are you saying, precisely because they are still all seven they are the least favorites.”
It was true. If the middle sects and the other families took off themselves from the contest for the final treasure, the only contenders would be the martial artists of the five big sects. In this moment, the Tremor Sect had two people, the Frozen Sect also two, the Tree Sect had three, and finally the Bubble Sect only one. In total, there were eight martial artists, one more than the Flower Sect group.
It was assumed that the final battle would be a showdown between the Flower Sect against the other big sects.
”Yes, we Flower Sect also promise to offer rewards in case of victory. This battle is a stage that belongs only to us of the five big sects. Today we will finally stop being considered in the last place and take back the top that belonged to us.”
Zan's words were like a declaration of war. The middle sects and the other powers divided according to their realm of belonging, leaving the area in front of the gigantic flower free. That would become the battlefield of the five big sects.
”Ehehe, nice words. I have to admit it. But you need strength if you want to say crap like that. The Tremor Sect is and will remain the number one sect. I would normally take out all you trash, but I suppose that first, we have to take care of these stupid people who want to bite off more than you can chew.”
”As usual, you are always full of yourself, Chang Huan. But I agree with you. Even if we are part of the same kingdom, that doesn't matter now. I guess the same is true for you too? Sun Xiulan, Zheng Yawen.” (Ren)
”There are no problems for us of the Frozen Sect.” (Zheng Yawen)
”Even if I have unfinished businesses with you from the Tree Sect and the Tremort Sect, I will let it run for now.” (Sun Xiulan)
”All right. Then, we will show you the true power of the Flower Sect.” Shouted Zan loudly, starting the battle.
At his cry, all seven members of the Flower Sect went to their respective targets.
Sun Xiulan, Bubble Sect vs. Ying Yue, Flower Sect
Zheng Yawen, Frozen Sect vs. Mei, Flower Sect
