Outer Sect Grand Competition strictly prohibits intentional harm to disciples, but in order to increase the competitiveness of this competition, almost all means are acceptable as long as they do not threaten the disciples' lives.
This regulation has caused great headaches for Sect Master Bai Qiufeng, but the argument from the Li Family is quite reasonable. If one cannot win in the Dueling Arena, they will only become a burden on the battlefield in the future. The Jiang Family rarely agreed with the Li Family's viewpoint, and united, even Sect Master Bai Qiufeng had no choice but to accept this rule.
Indeed, the disciples of Dragon Tiger Sect have been living too comfortably lately. Due to its remote location and dominance over other sects, there have been no strong rivals, leading to increasing laziness among the disciples and a noticeable decline in their enthusiasm for cultivation.
From any perspective, there was little to reject about this new competition rule proposed by the Li Family.
If Blue Shadow were to have his cultivation broken by Li Chengce, he would only face some punishment at most. In contrast, Blue Shadow's path as a warrior would be completely severed.
Nearby Outer Sect Disciples at the Twenty-Third Arena, upon discovering Li Chengce's true cultivation level, erupted into curses. Their expressions turned extremely grim; what they had initially thought would be a grand celebration during this Outer Sect Grand Competition now seemed to carry severe consequences for losing.
If it were their turn next to face a hidden-level Outer Sect Disciple, would their outcome be even worse than that of Blue Shadow?
A shadow loomed over all the Outer Sect Disciples, and the atmosphere became tense and foreboding.
The Supervisor Elder also noticed something unusual in the arena. As the overseer of this competition, he had the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of the competing disciples. However, his cultivation was only at the Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm, just slightly higher than that of Li Chengce. With Li Chengce acting so quickly, even if the Supervisor Elder wanted to save Blue Shadow, he would find himself powerless.
If Blue Shadow had called for surrender in time, and yet Li Chengce still acted forcefully, he would naturally face severe punishment.
But at this moment, Blue Shadow, with only an Eighth Level of Strength Realm cultivation, was already paralyzed with fear from the terrifying pressure emanating from his opponent and could not utter a word.
Just at that critical moment, a figure suddenly swept past the Supervisor Elder, appearing like a ghost beside Blue Shadow. With a single push of his palm, he sent Li Chengce several feet away from Blue Shadow, neutralizing his lethal strike.
“Brother Ye!” At that moment, Blue Shadow finally reacted and burst into tears while embracing Ye Feng.
“Supervisor Elder, Blue Shadow surrenders in this duel!” Ye Feng said coldly to the Supervisor Elder beside him.
“Alright, alright!” The sudden appearance of Ye Feng startled the Supervisor Elder, who murmured, “In this match, Li Chengce wins!”
On the side of the Dueling Arena, Li Chengce clutched his right arm, a look of pain on his face. Just now, Ye Feng had casually pushed him, resulting in a broken arm.
“Supervisor Elder, this person is just an Outer Sect Disciple. What right does he have to interfere in the duel?” shouted a Li Family Disciple hidden among the crowd, his expression grim.
“Ahem!” The Supervisor Elder glanced awkwardly at Ye Feng and said to the Li Family Disciple, “Ordinary disciples are indeed not allowed to interfere in duels on the arena!”
“In that case, according to the rules of this Outer Sect Grand Competition, what should be the punishment?” The Li Family Disciple revealed a pleased expression and shouted.
Several Outer Sect Disciples beside him, seeing his cold-bloodedness, began to criticize him.
“What kind of person are you? Do you really wish for Blue Shadow to be seriously injured by this man?”
“Hmph, he’s probably an untrustworthy spy from the outer sect, hoping for our Dragon Tiger Sect disciples to suffer heavy casualties in this competition!”
The murmurs from the crowd did not intimidate the Li Family Disciple; instead, he stared coldly at the Supervisor Elder on stage.
“I ask you to explain, Elder. If someone interferes with the Outer Sect Grand Competition, what punishment should they receive?”
“This…” Although the Supervisor Elder was somewhat displeased with the disciple's disrespect, under his persistent questioning, he had no choice but to reveal the truth.
"Ordinary disciples interfering in the Outer Sect Grand Competition will have their qualifications revoked and be imprisoned for a year."
"Did you hear that, Ye Feng? Revoked qualifications and a year in prison! What are you all waiting for? Go grab him and throw him in jail!" The Li Family Disciple shouted arrogantly at the law enforcement disciples nearby.
Ye Feng sneered and said to the aggressive Li Family Disciple, "Your Li Family has indeed calculated well. If I weren't well-versed in the rules of the Dragon Tiger Sect, I might have fallen into your trap!"
Both the Supervisor Elder and the Li Family Disciple were taken aback, clearly not expecting Ye Feng to say such a thing.
"What do you mean?" the Li Family Disciple asked angrily.
"According to the eighteenth rule of the Dragon Tiger Sect, if a Sect Disciple faces life-threatening danger, regardless of the time or place, any other disciple who witnesses it has the obligation and responsibility to save that disciple. In the Dragon Tiger Sect, sect rules take precedence over all other regulations. It goes without saying which is more important between the competition rules and sect rules. As everyone here has seen, I did not intentionally interfere with this competition; I acted out of necessity to save Outer Sect Disciple Blue Shadow, who was in peril!"
Ye Feng raised his brow and spoke with an utterly calm demeanor.
"May I ask, Supervisor Elder, does our Dragon Tiger Sect have such a rule?"
The Supervisor Elder was momentarily stunned. He was naturally familiar with the sect's rules, but in a moment of urgency, he hadn't thought of this point. Seeing that Ye Feng could recite this rule perfectly, he couldn't help but admire him as he said, "Indeed, there is such a rule. Moreover, among all regulations, the rules of the Dragon Tiger Sect must be prioritized. Ye Feng did not violate any regulations of this competition, so there is no need for punishment!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Outer Sect Disciples cheered enthusiastically. The Li Family Disciple, however, turned pale and wanted to argue further but was stopped by another Li Family Disciple beside him.
"Alright, stop crying. It's not like anything serious happened. You and I are done with our match today; let's go watch Zhang Yihang's fight!"
After some persuasion from Ye Feng, Blue Shadow finally stopped crying. Accompanied by Ye Feng, they made their way to the Seventeenth Arena, where Zhang Yihang was located.
As soon as Blue Shadow bumped into Zhang Yihang, she felt a wave of emotion and rushed into his arms, crying heavily.
"It's okay, it's okay. With Brother Ye here, we won't be in any trouble!" Zhang Yihang gently patted Blue Shadow's back, comforting her softly.
"Brother Ye, I can't thank you enough. Blue Shadow and I owe you our lives once again!" Zhang Yihang turned to Ye Feng, his eyes filled with gratitude.
For a martial artist, losing their cultivation is perhaps even harder to accept than losing their life.
"There's no need to be polite. Since we are friends, we should look out for each other. The Li Family is retaliating against you because of me. After this competition, I will have my master take you as Disciples. At that time, Li Xingqi won't dare to do anything to you!"
Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow were not directly involved in Li Fengyun's death; the real target of Li Xingqi was ultimately Ye Feng. If Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow became Disciples of Bai Chengfeng, Li Xingqi wouldn't go to great lengths to deal with two mere Outer Sect Disciples of the Martial Realm and risk offending Bai Chengfeng.
Although Ye Feng was also a Disciple of Bai Chengfeng, the grudge over the death of a child was paramount. As long as Li Xingqi didn't take action himself but sent someone to secretly deal with Ye Feng, even Bai Chengfeng wouldn't dare to say much.
"Thank you, Brother Ye, but our cultivation is average. How could Elder Bai possibly take us as Disciples? After this competition ends, Blue Shadow and I will just leave Dragon Tiger Sect and seek another path," Zhang Yihang said dejectedly.
"Don't worry! I can guarantee that Elder Bai will definitely take you as Disciples!" Ye Feng said with a smile, confidently patting Zhang Yihang on the shoulder.
Seeing Ye Feng make such a promise, Zhang Yihang didn't say much more. However, Blue Shadow, who had been crying in Zhang Yihang's embrace, suddenly stopped sobbing and anxiously spoke to Ye Feng.
"Brother Ye, weren't you supposed to participate in the competition? How did you get here so quickly? Could it be... did you surrender for Lan Ying'er?"
"How could I surrender?" Ye Feng chuckled lightly and shook his head. "Before coming to save you, I had already knocked my opponent out of the ring. By all accounts, that should count as a win!"
"Did I win?" Blue Shadow exclaimed, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Oh, I didn't have time to wait for Supervisor Elder to announce the results, so I rushed over immediately. By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the next match should be Brother Yihang's turn to compete?" Ye Feng said coldly, turning his gaze to the Seventeenth Arena.
The two disciples on the Training Ground were evenly matched in cultivation and knew each other well. They both practiced the same Martial Technique, the Tiger Claw Technique, and were extremely cautious, exchanging blows for nearly half an hour. It was dreadfully tedious, and the Outer Sect Disciples waiting nearby could no longer contain their impatience and began to boo.
"Huh? How does Brother Ye know?" Zhang Yihang asked in surprise.
Ye Feng sighed, not wanting to worry Zhang Yihang further, so he said little.
"When you go up later, don't give your opponent any chance; just surrender. Your next opponent is not someone you can handle!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yihang finally understood Ye Feng's meaning.
It turned out that he, like Blue Shadow, had been schemed against by the Li Family.
However, fate had other plans. The Li Family originally intended for Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow to compete at the same time. Even if Ye Feng wanted to intervene to help, he wouldn't be able to attend to both of them simultaneously. Who would have thought that the two competitors on the Seventeenth Arena where Zhang Yihang was would take so long to determine a winner? This led to Blue Shadow entering the arena while Zhang Yihang was not present on the Seventeenth Arena.
