671 Going out for a Meeting Tomorrow, Requesting Leave of Absence in Advance (2/2)
At this point, Daoist He Tu could not help but laugh. ”It seems that Wang Lu has his own considerations. Since that is the case, I won't fuss over it anymore but just wait and see.”
Supreme Tian Lun nodded and said, ”Although I can't figure out Wang Lu's future through the worldly affairs calculation, but by inferring from the words of the people around him… this time, we will certainly win.”
With that, Supreme Tian Lun threw out the dice in his hand, and a six-point appeared on the chessboard. With a gentle chuckle, Supreme Tian Lun moved the chess piece six squares forward in that handcrafted board.
”Fellow Daoist, looks like I won this game. My four flying messengers have returned to the spring.”
Daoist He Tu shook his head helplessly. ”You're still too good at this Flying Chess, Fellow Daoist.”

A day later, the list of the contestants from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was officially announced.
Since the start of the Grand Competition, this was the competition that received the highest attention. This Jindan level battle seemed especially serious. The schedule was announced three days in advance, and the list of contestants was announced two days in advance, all of which were the treatments that had not been enjoyed in hundreds of previous matches.
At this time, however, after seeing the list set by the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, many people in the City of Immortals were all shocked.
”Is Wang Lu crazy?”
”Has he begun to belittle the enemy after five consecutive victories? This shows that he doesn't put the opponent in his eyes at all!”
”Setting up such a lineup… does he want to make a name for his Spirit Sword Sect? He needs to be careful, playing with fire and one would burn oneself!”
Even many of Wang Lu's brain damaged fans, who had always been the most optimistic, could not help but question Wang Lu's decision when they saw the list.
Because the list was truly unexpected.
Wang Wu, Liu Li, Quan Zhouhua, Zhu Shiyao, Wang Lu… This was the entire list, unexpectedly, they were all from Spirit Sword Sect.
The appearance of the Non-Phase Master and disciple on the list was not unexpected. Wang Wu had a convincing victory against the Illusionary Child several months ago, so this time, no one doubted her at all. In the previous five consecutive victories, Wang Lu always played a third party or a bystander. This time, he finally came out personally, which was as expected.
But what about the remaining three? Zhu Shiyao and Liu Li were well-known cultivators in Nine Regions. This time, they were classified as super Jindan, but they were still young. In terms of strength, they were far from the best choice in Jindan Stage level—Kill Immortal Sword wielder Qiong Hua, or the veteran Jindan from some top rank sects were more suitable for this challenge. Furthermore, even if they were really talented and could break out beyond their normal state in the battle, they at least should finish their training in Royal Soldier Sect first. It was still too early for them to go into battle right now. As for that Quan Zouhua, it was more like a joke—even a dog was sent to the stage, was this insulting the opponent or to themselves?
If this list was a joke, then it must be the worst joke ever made by the Grand Competition. However, when people realized that Wang Lu really set that list as final… they would rather choose it was just a joke.
The betting houses in area A and B were also greatly shocked by this. The odds of Wang Lu's victory in this Jindan level challenge had dropped sharply, which showed that although many people had their brain damaged by their fanaticism, they were very sensible in treating their wallets.
Unlike the inexplicably amazed Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, the ancient Earth Immortals were extraordinarily serious. Xuan Mo once again organized a rally to gather many of her companions to discuss the countermeasures.
Because Wang Lu's move was even beyond the calculation of Calculation Immortal Lu Biechen. Wang Lu did not send Seventh Madame, Youjiu of Song and others outside path cultivators, nor did he send some veteran Jindan. Even if the selection was only from the younger generation Jindan, only Wang Lu and Zhu Shiyao that could be considered as meeting the requirements. Liu Li and Quan Zouhua were obviously not qualified, both Qiong Hua and Xiangliang were stronger than them.
”... What does Wang Lu want to do?”
This was the most important issue faced by everyone. If it was other people, the Earth Immortals couldn't care less, they could crush them with absolute strength during the battle. However, in Wang Lu's hand, they had suffered too many losses, and nobody dared to carelessly prepare for the match.
”I think he's being deliberately mystifying.” Du Xiaoxiao said, ”It's designed to do the very opposite, making us waste extra energy. It's probably this.”
Xuan Mo said, ”It doesn't make sense. Even if we waste some energy for this, would we lose the battle? This is simply underestimating our psychological quality.”
Luo Xue speculated. ”Or perhaps they have some secret weapons?”
”Is it Immortal Treasure? Immortal Elixir? Or perhaps Immortal Method? We have more of these things than them.”
Thereupon, all the Earth Immortals fell into silence. Only the Calculation Immortal Lu Biechen was still calculating from time to time. However, the results of his several calculations were all different. Victory or failure was indefinite, making the calculation completely meaningless.
”That's enough, there's no need to get entangled over it.” At the critical moment, the black-clad Earth Immortal said, ”No need to care what their means are, in the end, we are stronger than them.”
”Besides, since they announce their list first, let's have a frank and sincere talk.” The man in black said, stretched out his hand and pointed at the several people among the Earth Immortals. ”Little Poison, Flesh Massacre, Voracious Wolf, and Bai Ze, the four of you come forward.”
