Boom!

An ear-shattering explosion echoed in a private room, as a well-fit man in familiar room now stood before the pile of rubble he made.

"I'm going to kill that bastard!"

Zi Hao was on the verge of exploding when recalling how all the Profound Sect disciples called him.

His attendant looked at him in confusion, also wondering what the name could mean.

Nonetheless, if one of their star disciples from their Holy Fountain sect was this angered by it, then it must be no good.

Mr. Butt Lip…

Just what does it mean?

Zi Hao almost fainted in fury, listening to his attendant's whispers. "Say it one more time, and you're dead!"

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the space and a shadow immediately appeared. "Disciple Hao, The sect leader wants to see you now."

Zi Hao gave one last look at his annoying attendants before vanishing alongside the shadow.

Soon, he was on his knees, alongside other disciples.

Before them were their masters, elders and Sect Leader Taiwo.

They knew this moment would come, but could never prepare themselves for it.

"Raise your heads." Taiwo's cold voice echoed with a terrific force that turned their hearts to stone.

"Do I have water in my mouth? Easier than now."

Many hearts skipped a beat, slowly moving their trembling faces high.

But before they could fully raise their eyes to meet him, a dangerous aura suddenly spiraled out from the man on the throne, pushing them so hard they flew backward, smacked their backs on the walls and remained pinned, suspended a few inches from the ground.

Choking… choking…

Typically, they can go on for a long time holding their breaths but not when such a powerful force is squeezing the life out of them.

Many had legs flaring in the air, with vivid horror stretched out on their faces.

They… they couldn't breathe!

The pain and the fear gave them a glimpse of what a true grim reaper looked like.

Y3s...Their sect leader was indeed a terrifying no-sense man without a shred of pity or compassion in his heart.

He who made them sweat and chokingly beg for their lives was now sitting in a relaxed manner on his grand chair, calmly tapping his armrest in rhythm.

And when he seemed to have enough, he effortlessly dropped them like flies.

It was a terrible thing, that these disciples went through, but their masters didn't seem concerned for their lives.

They used to be super proud of these disciples of theirs, but not anymore.

Why did it look like they were looking at trash the longer they stared at the bunch?

"You disappoint me…" Taiwo spoke. "You disappoint your masters, and you disappoint your Sect."

"This year marks the worst starter results our Great Holy Fountain Sect has seen in over 50,000 years."

They, the Holy Fountain Sect, have always maintained top Tag Province results.

Even if they lose to the other provinces in Tah, they must always create a large gap between themselves and the other sects.

They have always been number 1 in everything concerning the Tah Province.

The Mystical Force sect is number 2 and the Profound Sect is number 3.

All 3 of them make the Big 3 in their province.

And no matter what inter-provincial competition they do amongst themselves, the Holy Fountain Sect always rises to the top.

They are the ones Emperor Ming is most confident in to represent the Tah Province.

Thus they are always given far more quotas than the others.

So isn't this a face slap for a 3rd place sect who has fewer quotas than them to exceed them, not by a few points but by a landslide of points?

The only thing that saves them face is that the mighty Yanging sects also lost to the Profound Sect.

But this doesn't mean they would go easy on their sect disciples for allowing the Profound Sect to get ahead.

Looking at the disciples who were now struggling to rise while catching their beat, Taiwo calmly threw several vials their way.

"Use this time to gain some respect for yourselves. No one will leave from here until the next competition begins!"

Zi Hao caught the vial and stared at it in shock.

F***!

Are those Larger Healing Pills that work like lighting, healing all internal injuries in a flash?

And the other glowing blue ones… Are they Heavenly Finite Pills that not only strengthen soul force but also supply a great stream of energy to his qi-channels?

Zi Hao couldn't believe his eyes when seeing the quality, which was something so costly and rare.

Gripping his vial hard, Zi Hao slowly raised his eyes, revealing a menacing glow when thinking of Chu Che and those despicable Profound Sect members.

'Great! With this, I should be able to break through to my next stage tonight!"

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck ending something like this to boost and break him free.

.

Gakakkakakaka~

Zi Hao released a cruel chuckle.

With this, he stood a higher chance of winning his matches!

Seeing him and several others smile similarly, the elders and Taiwo also felt relieved.

"Now, I'll ask you a question I asked you all once before your last competition… Do you feel confident?"

Clenching their fists, Zi Hao and many others nodded vigorously. "Yes, Sect Leader, we do."

Soon, they dropped to one knee, beating their chests in promise. "We will defeat them, Sect Leader. We, the geniuses of the Holy Fountain Sect, shall never disappoint you again."

Bahahahhahahahha~

The atmosphere quickly turned boisterous.

Taiwo and the others all grinned ear to ear when seeing the fiery burn in the disciples' eyes.

That's it.

This was the motivation these disciples needed to gain their earlier confidence.

For the Sect's sake and reputation, they must not continue to draw a big gap between themselves and the Profound Sect.

But just to be sure they turn their failure into success, these elders had many more tricks in mind.

They threw a gift to them, which was well kept in small brown satchels.

They were to use its contents only when absolutely necessary.

Before using it, they must take the antidote to ensure they don't accidentally poison themselves.

It was illegal and a cheap trick, but at this point, they were willing to do anything to put the Profound Sect down.

They knew that even if several people saw the actions of their disciples, they would turn a blind eye to everything since they too want the Profound Sect dead.

Well, they didn't want every profound Sect member dead, since they had to keep some alive to torture and acquire the mysterious high-manuals these people were using.

With everything settled, the sellers all left the space, allowing their disciples to focus on improving their strengths.

When alone, all the elders now turned to Taiwo.

"Sect master, we must act now before others do."

Taiwo nodded, "Agreed."

They must use this grace period before the next competitions, to secretly find those Profound Sect disciples and convince them to betray their sect.

Yes.

If several of them switch sides, they can later control and force these disciples to hand over whatever powerful battle techniques they acquired.

Thor's Hammer of Justice?

Kratos's Fire of Fury?

claws of Wolverine?

What sort of heavenly battle techniques did they witness today?

Anyway, they agreed they were greedy. They want it all.

Thinking like that, several elders followed Taiwo's instructions, half of them vanishing from the scene and the other half staying back to protect their disciples from random assignation attacks.

With the buzz around the Profound Sect, it was highly unlikely anyone would think of sending assassins their way, but hey… you can never be too sure in this unpredictable world.

But they weren't the only ones thinking the same.

"You all have sullied the reputation of our Yanging's Heaven Bearing Sect!"

"We are supposed to be number 1, not only in Yanging but in the entire Lower Realm! So who can tell me how you allowed weasels from thatched homes to steal your glory?"

"Tonight, you all stay down for me!... Take these elixirs and grow some goddamn strength in your bodies and brains!"

"Are you all now happy with yourselves? You belong to Yanging's number 2 sect, the Red Tiger Sect and you dare allow village idiots to climb over your heads?"

"What is it? Were you distracted by their beauty or charms? Come! Like up and take these pills fast!"

"Dammit! You call yourselves disciples of our Bailong Province's number 1 sect, the Eminent Light Sect, and yet you allowed a trashy number 3 from the Tah Province to slap you in the face like this?"

"Like up and slap yourselves back for this disgrace. And here! Have a pill while you're at it too!"

"This next competition, none of you are allowed to embarrass our great sexy anymore."

Trash!

Several forces were blowing fire down the necks of their disciples, throwing all sorts of pills and potions their way.

In the history of the Lower Realm, this was perhaps the first time a territory they least admired would unanimously take top positions in all quota ranks.

The victory was too right for them to hide off, which truly pissed them off.

And so, with greed in their eyes, many planned to target the profound Sect disciples during this period.

But soon, they realized something unbelievable.

"Where are they?"

"... Master, something strange has happened. We've searched everywhere, and they cannot be found."

"Im-impossible! How can they evade our Yanging elite shadows? How can they disappear just like that?"

Then what about their plans?
