1065 Continue To Challenge (1/2)
When everyone was finally seated, a shadow of a Celestial Luck Banner suddenly appeared in the sky over the Residence of Nine Supremes. It flickered once and then vanished.
In the next moment, a pure black Celestial Luck Banner with 'Residence of Nine Supremes' written on its surface appeared in the sky. As the banner fluttered, a shadow of the banner appeared over the head of everyone from the Residence of Nine Supremes.
But, the phenomena only lasted for a brief moment, and then all the shadows were gone. Only the black Celestial Luck Banner was still waving against the wind over them.
Staring at the Celestial Luck Banner from a distance, Huo Yunfeng said lightly, ”If the Celestial Luck Banner descends, it means the title has been fixed and you will only have the opportunity to challenge three years later. But, it is hanging in the sky right now. Supreme Cloud, do you mean to keep challenging?”
”Yes!” Yun Yang answered. ”Residence of Nine Supremes wishes to challenge Thousand Mountains Sect, the next higher sect with a lower-class Celestial Luck Banner. Please grant us the permission, Your Honorable!”
”You have won all five matches, so you don't need the permission from anyone to keep challenging.”
”Sect Leader Du Yangfan, do you have any objection?” Huo Yunfeng asked in a loud voice.
The sect leader of Thousand Mountains Sect, Du Yangfan, smiled and said, ”This is the rule of the Celestial Luck Banners, and my sect is never afraid of a challenge!”
”If that is the case, you may proceed with the challenge.”
”As the challenged sect, Thousand Mountains Sect has the right to change the order of the matches,” said Du Yangfan. ”If I may ask, Your Honorable, is that true?”
”Yes, you have the right to do so.”
”We choose the match of disciples as the first match, followed by the match of pillar forces and the match of formations. The fourth match will be a match of free will, and we will fight with a random method. The last match will be the match between the top experts of both sects. What do you think of this arrangement, Sect Leader Yun? Do you have any objection?”
Yun Yang's face was full of smiles. ”The order of the matches is not our concern. You may arrange as you please and we will follow accordingly.”
As the decision was made, the people from all the other sects smiled at the same time.
'The Sect Leader of Thousand Mountains Sect is indeed a tactful man!'
Three men from Residence of Nine Supremes had fought in the previous challenge. Their strength was extraordinary, and among them, sect leader Yun Yang was the strongest, followed by Luo Dajiang. Judging from their prowess alone, no one from the bottom few sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners could be the match of these two men, not to mention the Thousand Mountains Sect.
Therefore, as long as Residence of Nine Supremes fought the match of sect leaders and the match of top experts with these two men, they could almost certainly secure two wins. If that happened, the Thousand Mountains Sect would be in a dangerous situation.
But, Du Yangfan did not follow the conventional pattern and found a chance to win in the established rules.
First, it was Shi Wuchen. Even though his performance was not extremely weak in the previous match, it was not strong either. There were plenty of men in the Thousand Mountains Sect better than him.
And the first match, the match of disciples, was the key to Du Yangfan's planning...
From what he could see, the weak spot of Residence of Nine Supremes was not Shi Wuchen, but the disciples. There were only ten of them, and half of them were children. It proved that they did not have many disciples.
