Dragon Monarch
Chapter 159 - The Lottery
The sect elder of the Thousand Swords led Lin Yan and Jian Li towards where the disciples who had qualified for the next round were.
When he reached that place, Lin Yan stared at all the disciples who were there and could only sigh because it was true that Huan Caiyi was not in that place. He could only pray that his brother would be fine.
Lin Yan stared at all the disciples that were there and all of them had a ninth stage Spirit Realm cultivation level. Only himself had the cultivation level of the seventh stage Spirit Realm.
The other five disciples were confused to see Lin Yan as he entered the next round because none of them recognized Lin Yan. Only one disciple from the other Heavenly Dragon sects knew Lin Yan. He was also surprised that it was Lin Yan who advanced to the next round.
As for the Earth Realm level disciples having a meeting in a different place.
Then a very famous figure of an Elder from the Thousand Swords sect appeared. He was Elder Jian An.
“First of all, I congratulate all the students who made it to the final round.”
“Alright, the eight of you are students who will fight in the final round of the competition. Currently, we will take the draw to determine your respective opponents.” Elder Jian An spoke.
Zhep!
One Elder shook his arm and a box appeared.
“In this box there are numbers one through eight. Each student will be called one by one to take the lottery. I warn you not to use your spiritual energy or qi because you may receive a painful counterattack.” Elder Jian An commemorated.
One of the Elders turned the box around and the sound of a clash of something sounded within it to scramble the contents of the box.
“First, the first ranked disciple of the four groups, Jian Ling, please go forward.” Elder Jian An said.
All the disciples looked towards a beautiful woman carrying a sword at her waist. Everyone did not expect that the highest point of the four groups was a woman.
Jian Ling slowly advanced and took the draw. He did not care much about all the gazes directed at him.
When Jian Ling picked up something from inside the box, it appeared a ball that had a number on its surface.
“Six.” Mumbled Jian Ling.
“Jian Ling, participant number six in the third match.” Elder Jian An announced and recorded it in a book.
“Next Shi Zho!”
A young man who came from the Shi clan also advanced forward.
Lin Yan only looked at the disciple with a slightly cold gaze as he naturally disliked the Shi sect.
“One..” Shi Zho muttered.
“Shi Zo, the number one participant in the first match.” Elder Jian An said and noted.
“Next Gui Lang!”
All the disciples looked towards Gui Lang. The first, second and third ranks are held by the three biggest sects.
“Three.”
Elder Jian An noted it.
“Next..”
“Next..”
“Two..” said Jian Li and he met Shi Zho.
“Last Lin Yan, since only one is left, then you will automatically get the number four.” Elder Jian An said and noted down.
Gui Lang looked towards Lin Yan and raised the corner of his lips. He did not expect that he would meet the weakest.
Lin Yan also glanced towards Gui Lang and raised the corner of his lips.
“Alright, all participants have known their respective opponents. The final competition will be held in two days. You guys can disperse and prepare for the competition.” Elder Jian An said and glanced at Lin Yan at a glance as he was still annoyed with the troublemaking boy. He felt that Lin Yan would definitely fall in the first match because his opponent was Gui Lang, one of the geniuses of the Heavenly Gate sect.
Since they were disbanded, Lin Yan left that location to look for Huan Caiyi. He wanted to know how his brother was doing.
Lin Yan went to the residence provided by the Thousand Swords sect for the Heavenly Dragon sect.
Arriving there, there were already many gathered, the Second Elder and the Third Elder were also already in the garden of the residence reserved for them.
“Oh? You finally arrived. It would be unexpected that you will advance to the next round.” said the Third Elder who made all the disciples speechless especially to Ye Qian.
“This is just luck, where is Huan Caiyi?” Asked Lin Yan to the Third Elder.
Third Elder sighed slightly, “Huan Caiyi is currently injured, he is in his room. Go, he's been waiting for you.”
Lin Yan's face darkened instantly hearing him. He immediately went to the room where they had been before to see the state of his brother.
All the disciples were speechless because there was a special reason all of them did not speak.
When he reached the room, Lin Yan looked at Huan Caiyi who was wrapped in many bandages due to his injuries. Huan Caiyi's current face looked pale.
“Sister! How can this happen?” Lin Yan was startled and immediately walked over to Huan Caiyi and checked his condition.
Huan Caiyi who was still pale-faced was silent. He felt guilty at this time for pushing himself too hard and did not want to give up early so that the wound got worse and made his sister worried.
Since Huan Caiyi was silent, Lin Yan immediately examined her brother's body with his qi and his face was cold instantly. “So this is the doing of the Shi clan? How come you guys are suddenly in the same group?”
Lin Yan gritted his teeth because of the many possibilities, why would Huan Caiyi even be one group with Shi Zho.
“Sekte Thousand Swords.” Inner Lin Yan and knew that the Elders were making arrangements about this because it might be requested by the Patriarch of the Shi clan.
Of course the Patriarch of the Shi clan would not let any members of the Huan clan remain after hearing about Huan Caiyi's skill using Shadow qi as well as the Huan clan's ultimate technique from the historical record.
“Yan'er.. don't be rash.” Huan Caiyi held Lin Yan's hand and warned him.
Hearing her brother's voice that looked sad, Lin Yan grew even more angry even though he didn't show it.
But Huan Caiyi who already knew Lin Yan would know that his little sister would not remain silent.
Huan Caiyi was also aware that there was cheating in the previous round. With the crystal points capable of tracking down members of one sect, it was certain that the Patriarch of the Shi clan would not miss the opportunity to exterminate Huan Caiyi and make a deal with the Thousand Swords sect.
“Rest well.” Lin Yan who suppressed his anger only took out a few things to speed up his brother's healing process.
While treating Huan Caiyi's injuries, Lin Yan constantly spoke in his heart. “Klan Shi.. You guys will pay for it, I will exterminate Shi Zho if I meet him at the competition. And as for the Thousand Swords sect, if it is true that you are cooperating with the Patriarch of the Shi clan, you will know the consequences for participating in the part of making my brother like this!”
