Chapter 39: The Goddess Bibi Dong's Emotion, Qian Xunji's Killing Intent.
At this moment, the second match on the arena finally ended. This was the Demon Sect's match, another bloody duel.
In this match, the Demon Sect fielded four members: in addition to the three Soul Masters from before, they also had a Soul King, all possessing extremely evil beast spirits.
Facing the Demon Sect was the Heavenly Wolf Clan. The Heavenly Wolf Clan originally also had four Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables, making them one of the stronger teams in the group with the Clear Sky Sect. Unfortunately, they didn't expect the Demon Sect to have a Soul King in this match, resulting in the entire team being slaughtered, dying on the stage, their soul power and blood drained, leaving seven desiccated corpses.
In the Elite Soul Master Competition, before the match, no information about the opponent's appearance is known; it's only revealed once on the stage. Once on the stage, one cannot directly concede defeat; leaving the stage is considered a waiver.
The group that Haotian Sect was in originally had fourteen teams, but two teams had already been killed by the Demon Sect. The other teams had surrendered when they encountered the Demon Sect before, otherwise, the preliminary rounds of this group would have been over in a few days.
Seeing the people from Douhun Mountain cleaning up the corpses on the arena, Lin Fan couldn't help but say, "The Demon Sect actually has a Soul King, an eighteen-year-old Soul King. It seems that the Demon Sect team is very strong among all the teams in the competition."
Tang Huo'er nodded and said seriously, "That's right. Except for last year when I killed five members of the Demon Sect in the preliminary rounds and they didn't make it to the finals, in the previous years, the Demon Sect team has been in the top eight, and even the top four. They probably won't dare to challenge me again in this year's preliminary rounds."
Just then, the third match was about to begin, and the young lady on the floating platform picked up the microphone again and said, "Next match, Haotian Sect versus Xingyun Palace. Please have the participating members from both sides come to the stage."
"Xingyun Palace, what the hell is that?" Lin Fan stood up immediately.
"Xiao Fan, are you going to participate? Isn't it supposed to be Senior Sister fighting alone in the preliminary round?" Liu Erlong looked at Lin Fan in surprise, and Ye Keke and Shui Yue'er also looked over.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I'll go in this round. As long as I don't lose, our Haotian Sect's winning streak in the preliminary round will not be broken. Don't worry, this team is not as strong as Tang Long and Tang Ye, whom we challenged in the Haotian Sect."
"Okay, Xiao Fan, be careful." Liu Erlong knew Lin Fan's strength and didn't object.
Tang Huo'er also looked at Lin Fan intently and said, "If you can't win, leave the arena immediately. This team shouldn't have any Soul Kings."
"Don't worry, there aren't even any Soul Kings, what am I afraid of?"
Lin Fan said, already walking to the passageway. Looking at the arena below, he launched a ruthless charge and leaped out.
...
Lin Fan landed steadily on the arena. It was his first time on the arena, so of course he wanted to show off.
The countless spectators in the surrounding stands, who initially thought it was Tang Huo'er who was about to appear, cheered. But when they saw that it was a boy who landed on the stage, they immediately became noisy.
"What's going on? Where's our female war goddess Tang Huo'er? Shouldn't she be challenging for a winning streak to advance to the finals, just like the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall?"
"This member of the Haotian Team seems to be making his first appearance this year. We didn't see him last year. We wonder how strong he is." "
Nonsense, to be in the Haotian Team, and for them to send him alone to fight, how could he not be strong?"
...
For a moment, many sect disciples applauded for Lin Fan. Of course, most of them were female disciples, because Lin Fan's face was indeed very handsome and refined, and his physique was near perfect—the absolute standard of a modern male god. Otherwise, so many girls wouldn't have given him hints.
On the VIP platform, the cold and aloof Holy Maiden Bibi Dong, her eyes filled with sorrow and lifelessness, inadvertently glanced at the figure on the arena. Suddenly, her delicate body trembled. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the figure on the arena, and her slender fingers, resting on the chair, trembled slightly with excitement.
"It's him...is it really him?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen the most beautiful light in the darkness. Her icy expression seemed to melt away instantly, and a look of surprise appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
A smile bloomed on her face, a smile that had been suppressed for so long, filled with longing and anticipation.
"It really is him. He didn't abandon me. He actually came..."
Bibi Dong's fingers were still trembling. She even forgot to think about why Lin Fan was able to participate in this elite competition. At this moment, she only knew that she had seen the person she most wanted to see.
On the arena, Lin Fan seemed to sense something as well. He raised his head and looked at the figure on the VIP platform in the distance.
Lin Fan couldn't see Bibi Dong's expression. He smiled slightly at that spot, his eyes firm, and then he looked away. He knew that Bibi Dong had seen him. That was enough. Now was not the time for deep affection with Bibi Dong. Qian Xunji was also there; doing so would only harm her.
The next moment, Bibi Dong quickly composed herself, gripping her chair tightly. She knew she couldn't show anything too outwardly, but her eyes still welled up with tears.
"It's him..." Qian Xunji, on the other side of the VIP platform, his expression shifted. Wearing golden armor, he sat on his throne, his once handsome face now contorted with rage.
"This piece of trash, how could he possibly qualify for the Elite Tournament? It's only been less than half a year; his level can't possibly exceed thirty-five. Are the people of the Clear Sky Sect stupid? How could they let him into the Clear Sky Team?"
Qian Xunji suddenly realized something. He quickly looked at Bibi Dong not far away. Bibi Dong had already regained her composure, silently watching the arena, unchanged from before, except for a slight moisture in her eyes, which Qian Xunji didn't notice.
An elder beside Qian Xunji noticed his change and asked in a low voice, "Your Holiness, what are your orders?"
Qian Xunji gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "After today's competition, keep a close eye on this person on the arena, and find out which sects and teams the Haotian Sect will be fighting in the later stages of the preliminary rounds."
"Understood, Your Holiness..." the elder nodded.
"I've seen this person before. Should we kill him, Your Holiness?" Chrysanthemum Douluo on the left also looked at Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji squinted and said, "This person must die. No matter how talented he is, no matter if he's willing to join my Spirit Hall, I cannot let him live. You shouldn't have let him go when you met him in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Yes, Your Holiness, but I didn't know you hated him so much. Don't worry, once we get off Douhun Mountain, killing him will be as easy as crushing an ant."
Ju Douluo Yue Guan's lips curled into a bewitching smile. If it were a woman, it would be quite beautiful, but unfortunately, as a man, it looked disgusting. This guy already looked like a transvestite.
Qian Xunji nodded and didn't speak again. In the VIP seats, the powerful figures from the Empire and the Clear Sky Sect all possessed spiritual power, and it wasn't appropriate to discuss certain matters here.
Without a suitable reason, Qian Xunji couldn't kill Lin Fan now. On Douhun Mountain, even he couldn't make a move; this was a rule that had been in place for centuries. He knew that the two Spirit Hall elders and the other two hidden Douluo were friends; this was a rule set by the four of them, and Qian Xunji dared not disobey them.
It should be noted that the Spirit Hall elders weren't absolutely loyal; the two elders' participation was only due to his father, Qian Daoliu's, influence. If these four Super Douluo joined forces, even his father might not be able to handle them.
Qian Daoliu had also instructed him to treat Jin E and the other elder with the respect due to elders, so even if Qian Xunji desperately wanted to kill Lin Fan, he dared not act on it at Douhun Mountain.
