In the Offering Camp of the Zhongzhou Wanling Sect, tens of thousands of disciples cheered, eagerly anticipating the spectacle of Zhao Yang's impending defeat.
On the Viewing Platform, the Master of the Myriad Spirits Sect appeared calm as he turned to the Second Elder, Duan Wude, and said, "Second Elder, everything has been arranged by you. Why don't you take the lead in today's challenge?"
The Second Elder remained silent, rising to address the crowd. "Everyone, please quiet down. I believe you are all aware of today's farce. The individual standing on the stage is Zhao Yang, a newly admitted disciple from the Outer Sect. He is unskilled and lacks ambition. First, he formed cliques in the Outer Sect to commit murder and arson. Then he seized thousands of Spirit Qi Pills from his fellow disciples in the Outer Sect for his own use. He even stirred up a baseless incident involving the Jade Crawler in the Fish Pond, showing utter disregard for laws and disrespect for his elders! Dissatisfied with our Offering Camp's system, he has challenged us to a duel with the Grand Offering of the Nine Great Offerings Camp under a Death Contract. This act is foolishness personified, yet all the elders and the sect leader have agreed to let everyone see what it means to be outmatched. Do not think that just because you have studied Taoism for two years, you are invincible!"
A chorus of voices erupted in response to Duan Wude's words. Zhao Yang's gaze remained somewhat dazed as he tilted his head toward Duan Wude and sent a thought transmission. "Do you want the Spirit Pearl?"
Duan Wude's expression shifted noticeably as he focused on Zhao Yang and replied through thought transmission, "So it's really in your hands, you little beast. Hand over the Spirit Pearl, and I will guarantee your safety; otherwise, you are seeking your own death!"
"Why should I give it to you? Why not to the sect leader or the Grand Elder? It's my possession; I can give it to whomever I choose. You can't take it by force; if you try, I would rather destroy it than hand it over."
"You!" Duan Wude's voice trembled with anger. "You little beast! Let's see how you survive today’s nine battles! Even if three useless Outer Sect disciples and that little brat manage to keep you alive today, three days from now, you'll all be heading straight to hell!"
"Three days? Are you planning to annihilate the Myriad Spirit Sect?" Zhao Yang questioned, feeling a sense of unease.
Duan Wude's face flickered with a hint of panic before he scoffed loudly. "Let’s begin! No need for drawing lots; let’s start with Team One!" With that, he waved his sleeve and returned to his seat.
At that moment, three Elders from the Outer Court approached from an unknown direction. Seeing Duan Wude's disheveled appearance, Fire Wuyan remarked, "Oh? Elder Duan, why does your face look so grim? Who could possibly make our esteemed Inner Courtyard Elder look like this?"
Duan Wude shot a glance at Fire Wuyan, suppressing his anger as he clenched his fists but ultimately held back. "Just watch how your prized disciple meets his end!"
"Brother Fire, please take my seat," Nangong Wuxin offered as he stood up to invite Fire Wuyan to sit down.
Fire Wuyan was an Elder of the Outer Sect, and his status was certainly not on par with that of an Inner Court Elder. Nangong Wuxin, on the other hand, was the adopted son of the Grand Elder, which placed him at a level equivalent to that of an Inner Court Elder within the sect. Thus, he had a seat on the Viewing Platform in the Inner Courtyard. Nangong Wuxin had been mischievous and eccentric since childhood, and the only one who could tolerate him was the blind Grand Elder. The other Elders often reprimanded and scolded him, so he frequently ran to the Outer Sect to play with the Three Elders there. Over time, they became quite familiar with each other, forming a friendship that transcended age.
Therefore, Fire Wuyan made himself comfortable and sat down casually, casting a glance at Duan Wude, whose face had turned pale with anger, and let out a smug hum.
At that moment, the silent Hong Wushou whispered, "Big Brother, Zhao Yang seems a bit strange. He looks dazed as if he’s possessed."
Upon hearing this, Fire Wuyan turned to Zhao Yang and indeed noticed his foolish expression. He then sent a voice transmission asking, "Kid, what’s got you so scared? This isn’t like you."
"Shut up, old man! Can’t you see I’m trying to think? I can hear thousands of voices in my head right now; it’s driving me crazy! Do you know what’s going on?" Zhao Yang finally couldn’t hold back any longer, his voice tinged with concern not just because of his unique Divine Sense but also due to some underlying issue.
"Have you lost your mind or something?"
"You’re the one who’s lost your mind," Zhao Yang retorted irritably.
Just then, at Duan Wude's command, the Grand Offering from the Offering Camp stepped into the arena. His name was Shen Gongye; he was Duan Wude's eldest disciple and a True Disciple. Not only was he the highest-ranked Foundation Establishment Great Perfection among the Inner Courtyard Disciples, but his profound skills also earned him great respect within the Inner Courtyard. Many people admired and followed him; some even willingly opened their cultivation for him to absorb. His appearance immediately sparked cheers from the crowd.
However, at that moment, Li Yunshan caught up with Shen Gongye and said, "Senior Brother, let me have another go at it. After all, he once did me a favor. If he still refuses to hand over the jade pendant, I’ll kill him myself."
Shen Gongye looked at Li Yunshan and sighed. "Fine. I’ve told you before that to achieve great things, one must not show mercy like a woman. A clown like him would have been crushed by our Master long ago if he hadn’t stolen something valuable and hidden it away. It’s surprising he managed to evade capture for two years without being found; he’s certainly gotten lucky."
With Shen Gongye's consent, Li Yunshan immediately expressed his gratitude. "Thank you very much, Senior Brother." He then flew to the central challenge platform where Zhao Yang stood and sighed deeply just as Zhao Yang did at that moment.
Li Yunshan found it amusing and said, "Do you think you would die if you didn’t show off?"
"Uh, fine. You continue," Zhao Yang replied mechanically as he rubbed his nose.
Li Yunshan bowed towards the top of the Viewing Platform and said, "Respected Sect Leader and esteemed Elders, I am Li Yunshan. Elder Duan from the Inner Courtyard is my master. I am currently the Second Offering of the One Offering Camp in Heavenly King City. This peculiar disciple used to be my friend, but due to his poor Spiritual Root, he resorted to some wicked methods to enhance his cultivation. He has committed numerous heinous acts, including murder and robbery. Although our Myriad Spirit Sect advocates for the strong, and the Elders do not pursue his crimes, who would have thought he would become even more arrogant and foolishly challenge the Nine Great Offerings of the Inner Courtyard! While I do not understand why the higher-ups of the Inner Courtyard tolerate such a farce, I still wish to plead for leniency on his behalf—just cripple his cultivation and expel him from the Sect. He is simply unworthy to contend with the Nine Great Offerings!"
"You little brat, what are you? How dare you act so arrogantly before me? With your status, you think you deserve to be his friend? If you have the guts, come challenge me and see if I can crush you with a single finger!" Nangong Wuxin on the Viewing Platform shouted out in concern for his friend.
Li Yunshan knew Nangong Wuxin's identity and lowered his head, saying, "I dare not."
"Nangong Wuxin! As an Elder's heir who has received the true teachings of the Grand Elder, of course you can crush my Disciple. We are of equal status; why don’t you challenge me instead?" Duan Wude glanced at Nangong Wuxin.
"You think I wouldn’t dare, old man? I still remember how you used to beat me when I was young!" Nangong Wuxin pouted angrily. "If your disciple kills Zhao Yang, be careful that I won’t take out your other disciples one by one every few days!"
"You dare? You little brat, relying on someone behind you to think..."
"Enough!" A stern voice rang out, instantly silencing the entire Offering Camp challenge arena. Ji Wudao, Master of the Myriad Spirits Sect, looked displeased and said, "My Myriad Spirit Sect has been declining year by year. Do you want to add fighting and killing to that? Do you wish for my Myriad Spirit Sect to be expelled from the Cultivation world? The Offering Camp system was proposed to gather vast amounts of Spirit Energy to cultivate super experts, but look at what’s happening—infighting! You all think you're so impressive, don’t you?"
