Zhang Ye thought for a moment, feeling that something was off, and growled in a low voice: "Immediately order all sisters to retreat and abandon the battle, except for Xu Ying and Shanhu. Quickly!"
Several female disciples did not dare to disobey and immediately turned around to disperse, but it was too late to make arrangements. Bang!
Another round of bell ringing started again.
"Elimination Round 1, Arena 7, Xia Yu vs Long Wumming."
"Elimination round 2, arena 14, Chen Xiaoyan vs Shi Tianyun."
"Elimination Round 3, Court 1, Tao Hong vs Yang Zheng."
"Let's sync up and start!"
A sudden voice rose up.
Zhang Ye almost jumped up in fright, was this arranged on purpose?
"You three listen up, don't force me..."
Knock knock knock——
An unexpected situation occurred in an instant, and the command to "start" had just been given. Three small figures flew through the air, all of them killed with a single blow.
On the suspended elder's seat above, Tan Siqin furrowed her brow.
The rest of them seemed not to have seen it.
Wang Siqi felt it was inappropriate, but seeing that no one else spoke up and the deceased was an outer sect disciple, she didn't ask any further questions.
Whoosh——
Zhang Ye flew up and circled around the entire trial sword platform, then caught the three sisters in his hands and landed on the ground to check. All of them had not a single breath left.
"Are you that troublemaker Zhang Ye?"
On one of the battle platforms, Long Wumeng gazed at him coldly.
Zhang Ye looked at him and saw that he was beyond saving, then suddenly raised his head and said, "What do you want to say?"
"Zhang Ye, a waste who only knows how to wield a sword. What makes you think you can interfere with the Swordsmanship Competition? Who do you think you are?" Long Wumeng shouted, "I've heard that you're arrogant and lawless every day, but I didn't expect it to be true. You've been training outside for two years and have just returned, what a pity. Unfortunately, you don't even qualify, otherwise I would love to teach you a lesson on the battlefield."
Just as Zhang Ye was about to speak, the Elder of Punishment from above also transmitted a rebuking voice: "Zhang Ye, do not be rash, quickly retreat. No matter what, the Sword Trial has always been strict, it is a rule set by the ancestors. Whether or not to participate is voluntary, but once you participate, there will be consequences."
Chuan Gong Lao also said: "Zhang Ye, you are being reckless and arrogant, and even I can't bear it. You are not allowed to disturb the Sword Testing Conference again, otherwise you will be severely punished."
A doll-faced sect master Gu Si Hong remained calm and expressionless, saying nothing.
Tan Siqin also scowled and said, "You little rascal, behave yourself, don't cause trouble, sit down."
"Hey!" Wang Siqi spoke up, "Not even allowing others to show concern for their junior sister? Getting up to receive three people is already disrupting the Sword Testing Assembly. Did our ancestors ever say that, I really don't recall."
@#¥。
Everyone stared at her in shock, wondering if this woman had gone crazy. Didn't she used to be the one who impeached Zhang Ye most fiercely? What's wrong with her now?
The quarrelsome voices everywhere, but the trial sword conference did not stop, and continued. The cruel third round finally ended.
Zhang Ye's face turned iron-blue as he looked up and transmitted his voice, "All of Lan Tianying's people, including Xu Ying and Shanhu, are withdrawing from the competition. There is no room for discussion."
As soon as this sound came out, the whole venue was in an uproar, with voices chaotic and rising and falling.
"What a big tone you have! Who are you speaking on behalf of? Are you speaking on behalf of the Supreme Master?"
Long Wumeng let out a thunderous roar once again, immediately suppressing all the voices in the entire arena. His true energy was abundant and his momentum unstoppable.
Zhang Ye said: "Long Wuming, you are being used as a gun by others without realizing it. As long as you don't regret it, that's fine."
"Are you threatening me?" Long Wuming said, "Do you even qualify?"
The elder of the Palm Court spoke up again, rebuking: "Zhang, shut your mouth. You're disrupting the Sword Trial Conference now."
Chuan Gong Lao followed with a stern tone: "Not bad, what 'Lan Tianying's people', are you ignoring the sect rules and openly forming cliques?"
"Huh?" Wang Siqi said with a sly smile, "Are the two of you pretending to be stupid? Our Tai Xuan Men has a tradition of forming cliques that's been passed down for thousands of years. Even back then, didn't each of us four have our own little groups? It seems like you're just finding out today, can't you be less naive?"
"It makes sense." Tan Siqin's face was stiff, her words unusually simple.
The elder said: "It's not possible to say it so clearly."
"There's a saying in the secular world: a prostitute is still a prostitute, even if she has a plaque or a sign." Tan Siqin said.
"You... how can you talk like that?" All the elders, including Wang Siqi, scolded Tan Sixin for speaking out of turn, and a barrage of verbal abuse flew her way.
Tan Siqin couldn't help but feel her old face burning with shame, thinking to herself, "How did I become so tacky in my haste?"
The dense crowd below finally witnessed it, this sword-testing meeting was truly strange for the first time.
Zhang Ye had always been kind to others, and with Xu Ying's relationship, her prestige among the female disciples was still very high, and she seemed to have a tendency to take over as the new leader.
After Zhang Ye's instructions, many female disciples also felt a chill and withdrew from the Sword Testing Assembly as instructed.
Xu Ying and Shanhua also left the preparation seat and came over together to ask: "Even we can't participate, isn't that a pity?"
"There's nothing, it won't work this year, there's always next time. I observed a bit, and entering the top three is hopeless for both of you. As for the rewards below the top three, we don't care about them either. Leave the green hills intact, and don't worry about not having firewood to burn. Let them dominate this time."
Coral was somewhat unwilling, wanting to say a few more words, but Xu Ying spoke up ahead of time: "Since you put it that way, we'll withdraw. To be honest, unless one can enter the top two and obtain the true transmission position, the other rewards are truly meaningless. Master Sister has always taught us this way."
Zhang Ye nodded, "Their goal has been achieved, they really scared us, humph, let's wait and see."
Countless female disciples wept, all their dreams shattered, no achievements gained, and three sisters were ruthlessly slaughtered.
More and more people were crying, even Xu Ying and Shanhu, the two hardworking sisters who couldn't go on stage, couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Anyway, there's a price for everything. He didn't let us participate in the competition, so I'll make them withdraw from it instead. That's what I call swift revenge."
Zhang Ye heard a burst of crying sounds, his anger suddenly reached its peak, and he finally lost control...
On the other side of the arena, Yang Zheng, Shi Tianyun, Long Wuming and others who had not yet fought were huddled together whispering.
"Unexpectedly, this little mongrel has learned his lesson this time and can't be provoked. I heard he was seriously injured underground, it's indeed the case. Otherwise, he would have jumped up long ago, we need to think of a way." Yang Zheng said.
Shi Tianyun said coldly, "If we don't provoke him into making trouble, we really won't have an excuse to kill him, not even Master Huo Tianlang can do anything about it."
"What is he, really making us so anxious? I'd rather meet him alone." Long Wumeng said coldly.
Shi Tianyun said, "Brother Long, be careful. Although he's a personal waste, he indeed has some skills. Since the three of us have formed an alliance, let's first think of a way to get rid of him before discussing our own matters."
The three of them argued for a while, wanting one person to go out and provoke Zhang Ye again. However, as they pushed each other, Yang Zheng and Shi Tianyun both retreated backwards, trying to push Long Wumeng out instead.
Long Wuming didn't know it was the two men's trick, but he didn't take Zhang Ye seriously, thinking he was exaggerating. He actually wanted to test how much courage Zhang Ye had. However, he was afraid of causing trouble without reason and being punished by his superiors, losing his position as a true disciple who could capture with one hand.
"You three idiots, no need to bother with such a troublesome conspiracy, I'll take all three of you down at once! Let's see how you continue the competition."
Just as Zhang Ye's voice was heard, the three of them immediately felt that something was off, and the intensity of the oppressive atmosphere was rarely seen.
