Chapter 380: Chapter 56: First, the Recruitment by the Extreme Dao Sect!

Ren Kui personally led the team this time to Jinyu Peak for the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.

He intended to use Hua Jingyang’s unparalleled prowess to showcase the Fierce Cloud Sect’s dominance!

But a single Luo Cheng snatched away their rightful first place for the Fierce Cloud Sect!

Three of their top Outer Disciples were killed, and Hua Jingyang was gravely injured!

Such tremendous losses—Ren Kui had no idea how he would explain it to the sect upon his return!

His heart burned with a desire to dismember Luo Cheng into a thousand pieces!

Hearing Ren Kui’s words, Sun Yingyang shot Luo Cheng a venomous glare and said coldly:

"Indeed, this brat must die! Earlier, I spotted the Blood Eagle brothers in the crowd. I have some connections with them; perhaps they can give us a helping hand!"

Ren Kui raised an eyebrow; he had heard of the Blood Eagle brothers.

Both were at the Awakening Vein Realm. The elder brother, Blood Eagle, was at the Fourth Layer, while the younger brother was slightly weaker, at the Third Layer.

The two of them were ruthless and often engaged in murder and stealing!

"Hmm, you go and handle this. I’ll get Hua Jingyang treated."

Ren Kui took Hua Jingyang and left for the Fierce Cloud Sect’s camp.

At this moment, Elder Wu Shan of the Extreme Dao Sect stood up.

An overwhelming pressure swept across the summit of Jinyu Peak, silencing the crowd instantly.

Clearing his throat, Elder Wu Shan spoke aloud:

"The Three Sects Martial Arts Competition is now concluded. Next, I will announce the rankings..."

No surprises—Luo Cheng claimed first place with a perfect record of sixteen wins, earning sixteen points!

Second place went to Hua Jingyang, who lost one match to Luo Cheng and ended with fourteen points.

Third place was Yan Qingshuang, with thirteen wins out of fifteen matches, garnering eleven points.

Fourth place was also a Luoxia Sect disciple, Xia Wanqing, with eight points.

Due to the deaths of Fei Jue and Sun Chuanwu, Lin Xiaoyun, who initially ranked lower, rose to fifth place!

Sixth place...

Upon hearing the rankings, Ninth Elder burst out in joyous laughter:

"Both first and fifth place are from our Xuanyuan Sect! Let’s see if the Fierce Cloud Sect dares to act arrogant in front of us anymore!"

Elder Chen Xuan was equally gratified.

It had been so many years!

For countless competitions, the Xuanyuan Sect had been overshadowed by the Fierce Cloud Sect, unable to hold their heads up; now, they finally had their moment of glory!

It was worth noting that the ranking of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition involved more than sect pride.

It also influenced the distribution of interests among the Three Sects, which had significant implications for the development of the Xuanyuan Sect as a whole.

Ninth Elder turned to Luo Cheng and smiled brightly: "Luo Cheng, this time you’ve done a great service to our Xuanyuan Sect! I promised that if you took first place, you’d be richly rewarded. What do you want?"

"We’ll discuss it when we return to the sect."

Luo Cheng smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and colliding with Elder Xue Yun’s.

Elder Xue Yun’s crimson lips curled into a smile.

But no matter how one looked, the smile seemed extremely forced.

"What a pretender..."

Inwardly scoffing, Luo Cheng remained composed; now was not the time to expose enmity.

While some rejoiced, others wallowed in despair.

On the Fierce Cloud Sect’s side, hearing that only their injured Hua Jingyang ranked among the top five, Ren Kui’s complexion grew increasingly grim.

When had they ever suffered such a devastating defeat?

"Damn it, where did that brat suddenly spring from!"

At this moment, Sun Yingyang returned to his seat and whispered, "They’ve agreed, but their price is steep—ten thousand Essence Energy Pills and a six-star cultivation technique!"

"Ten thousand Essence Energy Pills! A six-star cultivation technique! Their appetite truly isn’t small!"

Ren Kui narrowed his eyes, calming himself as he considered:

"Adding the two brothers alone won’t be enough! Elder Chen Xuan’s strength matches mine; it’s unlikely we’d be able to wipe them all out. If word of this leaks, the consequences will be unimaginable, and our Fierce Cloud Sect will earn the shame of sore losers."

Sun Yingyang shook his head: "Our goal is to eliminate Luo Cheng, not to wage war against the Xuanyuan Sect. There’s no need to take them all down."

"Once the competition ends, we only need to find an opportunity to intercept Chen Xuan and Cheng Han. That will disrupt their formation, providing the Blood Eagle brothers a chance to assassinate Luo Cheng!"

Ren Kui’s eyes gleamed with malicious intent, and he sneered coldly: "Heh, excellent! Tell the Blood Eagles they’ll have the technique after the deed is done."

"That’s exactly how I promised them!"

Sun Yingyang grinned darkly.

When the deed was done, they would eliminate the Blood Eagle brothers as well!

No witnesses—there would be no evidence. Even if the Xuanyuan Sect sought retribution, they’d have nothing to pin on the Fierce Cloud Sect!

Thinking of this, Sun Yingyang straightened up and cast a frosty glance at Luo Cheng, his blood-red eyes brimming with rage and sneering thoughts: Enjoy your moment, brat! Soon, you’ll die without a grave! And as for your worthless father—you both deserve to perish!!

On the Xuanyuan Sect’s side.

Chen Lingyu furrowed her brows and warned Luo Cheng: "Luo Cheng, Sun Yingyang has been watching you closely, and his killing intent is heavy."

Luo Cheng nodded calmly.

How could he not have sensed this?

Elder Chen Xuan said in a grave tone: "Once the competition ends, we must leave immediately for the sect!"

Ninth Elder’s eyes narrowed as realization dawned. "Do you think Sun Yingyang plans to act? He wouldn’t dare!"

Elder Chen Xuan shook his head: "Sun Yingyang is vengeful and unforgiving. With Sun Chuanwu slain by Luo Cheng, he likely won’t let this slide. While you and I needn’t fear them, I worry about Luo Cheng’s safety!"

Upon hearing this, Ninth Elder’s face turned grim: "Then we must depart quickly!"

By now, Elder Wu Shan finished announcing the rankings and declared the competition closed.

The group from Luoxia Sect approached them.

Their Great Elder, Bi Qiushui, smiled warmly and offered congratulations:

"Chen Xuan, congratulations on Xuanyuan Sect’s first-place win in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition. It’s been a spectacle."

No matter whether the Fierce Cloud Sect or Xuanyuan Sect claimed first place, it made little difference to the Luoxia Sect.

Comparatively, Bi Qiushui preferred the Xuanyuan Sect’s victory.

This ensured better balance within the Three Sects, avoiding a situation where one sect overshadowed the others.

While speaking, Bi Qiushui glanced at Luo Cheng, her captivating eyes tinged with faint astonishment.

Even now, she found it hard to believe how someone with a so-called wasted martial soul could possess such extraordinary combat prowess at such a young age!

"Well, well..."

Elder Chen Xuan responded with a modest laugh, ready to bid farewell and begin their journey back.

At that moment, a figure approached—it was Elder Wu Shan of the Extreme Dao Sect.

"Elder Wu Shan!"

The crowd greeted him respectfully, surprised by his appearance.

Elder Wu Shan rarely showed up publicly, like a dragon elusive to sight.

Elder Wu Shan nodded lightly, his gaze fixed directly on Luo Cheng:

"Impressive. For someone with a wasted martial soul, to achieve such accomplishments—do you have any interest in joining me in the Extreme Dao Sect?"

With those words, the audience erupted in commotion.

No one could have anticipated that Elder Wu Shan would favor Luo Cheng!

Elder Chen Xuan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, merely watching Luo Cheng quietly.

Though the Xuanyuan Sect enjoyed considerable recognition in the Great Yue Dynasty, it paled in comparison to the Extreme Dao Sect.

The Extreme Dao Sect was a renowned powerhouse across the entirety of the Yunlan Domain Group!

This was an opportunity for Luo Cheng—a chance to soar higher!

Though reluctant, Elder Chen Xuan wouldn’t hinder Luo Cheng’s prospects.

Elder Wu Shan observed Luo Cheng and continued:

"The martial soul is the cornerstone of cultivation. Your current achievements stem from being in the stage of tempering your physical body, where the importance of the martial soul is not yet apparent." fгeewebnovёl.com

"Once your cultivation breaks through to the Awakening Vein Realm and you advance to Qi Refinement and Nourish Spirit, every step of cultivation will require the martial soul to connect with the heavens and earth. Without a martial soul, your progress will be severely constrained!"

"The Extreme Dao Sect possesses numerous techniques to nurture martial souls; perhaps one of them could enable you to cultivate your own martial soul!"
