Chapter 377
\ “Omong is empty! There is no way my disciple can kill your disciple! \”
Master Gu Guanting Azure Cloud Sect jumped onto the stage and defended Hong Yu’er.
\ “Everyone here has watched the match – my students did not even touch your student \”
\ “! I don't know how he did it, but I'm sure that he killed my disciple \”
! \ “Omong blank where are you proof?! “Gu Guanting shouted furiously.
Although 10 million Spirit Stones was an astronomical sum of wealth, the Azure Cloud Sect could survive without it. However, Hong Yu’er's reputation and security was another story. If he were to take the blame for Mao Yijun's death, the Million Snakes Sect would definitely pursue him, especially after how he basically slapped their entire sect in the face in front of millions of people today.
“Proof ?! What proof do I need aside from how he has ruthlessly beaten up my students today?! He obviously had a grudge against us for whatever reason, and he finally could not resist his insistence and killed one of them! \”
Fu Kuan then turned to look at Lord Xie and bowed to him, \ “Your Majesty, this subordinate is seeking justice for his disciple! After watching their appearance today, I am sure that the Azure Cloud Sect harbored some sort of malicious intent towards the Million Snake Sect! Not only did they smear dog poo on our faces in this friendly tournament, but they also killed one of our most talented students! Our Million Snake Sect has never done anything to offend them! We don't deserve all this! \ ”
Lord Xie narrowed his eyes at Fu Kuan and sighed inwardly, ‘As expected of Fu Kuan, he is a sly man with a fluent tongue. ‘
However, before he could even say anything, Gu Gu Guanting also stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty! There are millions of people here who have witnessed every move of my disciples! There was no way he could kill him without being known by all! Although I am unable to explain his unnatural behavior today, I am willing to bet with my Sect Master's position on the line that he did not kill him! There must be another reason why Mao Yijun fainted! \ “
After a moment of silence, Lord Xie spoke, \ “Secte Master Fu, I understand your frustration and sadness, because this is truly an unfortunate event. However, I have been watching the entire time, and I have seen nothing that could blame Hong Yu’er for Mao Yijun's death. With that being said, until we fully investigate the cause of Mao Yijun's death, I will delay my assessment. \ ”
\” T-Thank you, Your Majesty! \ “Gu Guanting immediately showed a relieved smile and clasped his hand to show his gratitude.
However, Fu Kuan just stood there with an ominous expression.
“T-But His Excellency— \”
“Enough. I understand that you want to settle this as soon as possible, but until we know what caused Mao Yijun's death, there is nothing we can do. Zi Dong, I will leave this matter to you. \”
\ “Ya , Your Majesty! \ “Zi Dong promptly replied.
“Because there will be no more matches after this, I will forgive myself for this time.”
After saying those words, Lord Xie, along with Xie Xingfang, left the arena.
As soon as the Xie Family was no longer around, Fu Kuan turned to look at Gu Guanting and Hong Yuer and said, “Don't think for a second that this is over! You killed my disciple, and the Million Snake Sect has never failed to repay our debt! \ ”
\” We'll go! \ “
\ “Ya Gods! The Azure Cloud Sect actually defeated the Million Snake Sect, kicking them out on the first day! This is something that no one here expected! This has never happened before! \”
\ “The Million Snake Sect has always been arrogant and irresistible. I can't imagine what they felt after today's humiliating defeat! \ ”
\” Not only that, but it is the sheer dominance of the Azure Cloud Sect side! And this was all made possible by Fairy Hong! \ ”
\” Brother, I'm worried about Sister Yu’er. What if the Million Snake Sect were to chase after him because of what happened today? \ “Su Yin asked him.
“Knowing the Sect of Million Snakes and their vengeful nature, it is very possible.” Liu Lanzhi sighed.
“If you are worried about your fiancee, why don't you ask Azure Cloud Sect to join the Alliance?” Bai Lihua suddenly suggested. “This will make the Million Snakes Sect think twice before they actually decide to do anything. \”
\ “Do not worry. I have a feeling that he'll be fine even without our help. With that being said, getting the Azure Cloud Sect to join us is not a bad idea. I will talk to them when I have the chance, \ “ said Su Yang.
A while later, Zi Dong spoke loudly, \ “Congratulations to all the winners today! We will do another draw for your next game soon after this. As for the spectators, thank you for coming today, and we will see you again tomorrow for the second day of the Regional Tournament! \ ”
\” Alright, let's see if we'll get a chance to fight tomorrow. \ “Su Who said when she stood up.
Some time later, all of the Sect Masters whose sects were victorious today were gathered in the same place.
After everyone had chosen their numbers, Zi Dong started writing down matches for tomorrow.
“Who picked up the empty one this time?” Zi Dong suddenly asked.
A tall and large middle-aged man raised his hand a second later.
When the other Sect Masters realized the identity of this man, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank God, no one should fight with Burning Lotus Sect for tomorrow's match. \”
\ “Really? Paired with Burning Lotus Sect is similar to automatic loss .. \”
Now with the Burning Lotus Sect coming out of this Sect the Mind of the Teachers, they were all focused on their next opponent.
“Sekte Yellow River .. You know about this place?” Su Yang asked Liu Lanzhi about their opponent for tomorrow.
“They are quite famous places that are only three hundred miles away from our own place. Although they cannot be compared to the Elite Sect or the Azure Cloud Sect, they will be worthy opponents for us.”
“I hope so, or it will be too boring.” Su Su said with a smile.
