Chapter 1541 - 1518: Hoist with One’s Own Petard!
"Hmph, he refuses the chance to live, well then, I’ll find an opportunity to send him to Hell tomorrow!" The mysterious man sneered cruelly: "Anyway, our pre-match preparations are already completely finished!"
"Tomorrow, Ye Huan must die, whether dead or not, he must die!"
The mysterious man chuckled evilly and then changed the subject, asking: "So, have you found out what weapon Ye Huan obtained in the Sword Tomb behind the Ling Family’s mountain?"
"This matter hasn’t been investigated yet, I tried asking the Ling Family juniors, but each of them kept their mouth shut about this topic, as if Ling Wuye issued a gag order, strictly forbidding anyone from leaking information about this matter."
"Even Ling Zhiyuan and Ling Yao, who have deep hatred toward Ye Huan, are very conservative about this matter, no matter how I try to coax them, they wouldn’t tell me."
"I think Ye Huan’s Divine Weapon must either be very precious or utterly useless, otherwise there would be no need for the Ling Family to be so secretive about it."
Ling Meijiao said this, her chest faintly aching, causing her to grit her teeth: "Speaking of it, it’s all because of that damned Ling Shen. It’s bad enough that he opposed us a thousand years ago, now he dares to oppose me after uncovering my identity, pushing me down the mountain, ruining my grand plan, hateful!"
"Cursing him won’t do any good for our plan, I ask you, do you think the Divine Weapon Ye Huan obtained is good or bad?" The mysterious man asked in a deep tone.
"The Ling Family’s message lockdown probably has two reasons. One, Ye Huan’s Divine Weapon is too powerful, so they can’t reveal the information, to prevent being targeted by evildoers before he matures. Two, the weapon Ye Huan obtained is too trashy, and the Ling Family is sealing the information to preserve his dignity."
"And I think..."
Ling Meijiao pondered for a moment, then said: "The ancient martial talent of Huaxia’s Dragon Son must be outstanding, so I assume the Divine Weapon Ye Huan obtained must be a treasure, possibly ranking in the top ten on Huaxia’s Weapon List."
"Hmm, I suspect the same, yet I’m very worried. If the Divine Weapon Ye Huan acquired is Huaxia’s strongest weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword, then what will we do?"
"Impossible! If the Divine Weapon Ye Huan acquired is the Xuanyuan Sword, then the Dark Night Dragon Sword couldn’t even get close to him. The Xuanyuan Sword symbolizes purity and creation, while the Dark Night Dragon Sword is destruction; they contradict each other and cannot coexist!" Ling Meijiao said decisively: "I think, at most, Ye Huan acquired the Chengying Sword or the Chixiao Sword, which are top-five Divine Weapons."
"You make sense, in that case, I’m relieved!"
"Currently, the pins we implanted are in place, and all preparations are complete!"
"Tomorrow, I will personally let Ye Huan know what it means to be cruel in the martial arts arena, let those Huaxia people know, that the pure Yanhuang bloodline is just a joke!"
"I want to crush the confidence of the Huaxia people, trample their dignity beneath my feet!"
"Hm, ideally Huaxia’s Dragon Son’s voluntary surrender would be the biggest blow to their confidence, but if Ye Huan refuses, it doesn’t matter, tomorrow I will step on him, and severely trample the dignity of Huaxia’s Ancient Martial Artists!"
"You, on the other hand, should continue to lay low!"
Having said this, the mysterious man let out a series of "jiejiejie" chuckles and hung up the phone.
Ling Meijiao’s mouth curled into a cold smirk, she could already foresee just how tragic Ye Huan’s end would be tomorrow.
...
The next day, at the Tian Family’s Martial Arts Arena.
In the morning, the sun shone brightly, the sky was clear.
Describing it as cloudless for thousands of miles wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Early in the morning, it’s still breakfast time, yet the arena’s outside is already packed with people.
The phenomenon of people being squeezed together continued incessantly, as everyone queued up to check tickets and orderly entered the venue.
Today’s spectators even outnumber those of yesterday.
The reason is simple, the Hundred Clans Team Competition to be held after today’s personal finals is always the most spectacular event in the Hundred Clans Grand Tournament, where one can see the super geniuses from the various families clashing against each other, engaging in duels.
The scene is certainly grand and spectacular.
As for the personal finals...
Indisputably, this match will also be quite exciting.
In yesterday’s matches, the Ling Family’s genius already exhibited extremely formidable strength, producing many strong match scenes.
Yet in this situation, a dark horse forcefully broke into everyone’s view in this year’s Hundred Clans Grand Tournament—Shangguan Clan!
The Shangguan Clan, led by Shangguan Shenzhou, swept the venue yesterday, astonishing everyone!
The super first-line Zhan Family and their talented juniors were continuously defeated by them, and it was devastating!
Defeated completely!
No doubt, the strong showdown between the Ling Family and the Shangguan Clan today will be very exciting!
It could possibly be the most spectacular personal match in thousands of years!
"Ling Family’s Eight Great Geniuses... no, Ling Family’s Seven Great Geniuses and one big waste are here!" Someone shouted amid the crowd lining up to enter.
This instantly directed everyone’s attention to the special green channel for contestants, seeing Ling Yao and Ling Zhiyuan, along with Ling Fufu, and others entering the arena through that channel for pre-match preparations.
The seven great geniuses mentioned naturally referred to Ling Yao and others.
The big waste obviously referred to Ye Huan!
Ye Huan heard these harsh comments but ignored these clowns.
The best way to slap these clowns is to showcase his strength in the arena!
Arguing with them now wouldn’t do any good!
"The Shangguan Clan is here too!" someone else shouted.
Everyone turned their attention to another green channel.
Shangguan Shenzhou and others, with their hands clasped behind their heads, chatted and laughed as they entered the arena through the green channel.
Many people present noticed something unusual: while the waste from the Ling Family, Ye Huan, kept a thick skin without much expression, the seven geniuses led by Ling Yao had heavy gloom on their faces, clearly very serious and unhappy.
One doesn’t need to think hard to know that the mood of the Ling Family’s seven core disciples must be very tense.
Yet the Shangguan Clan, as the challenging throne family, showed great ease, creating a sharp contrast with the Ling Family’s seven core disciples.
This couldn’t help but make the audience present doubt whether the Ling Family’s disciples’ combat state had issues.
"I guess, the strength displayed by Shangguan Shenzhou and others yesterday severely intimidated the Ling Family’s core disciples, causing them to lose the confidence of certain victory, even feeling their chances of winning are low. Unbeknownst, this is fatal, losing confidence will make them play conservatively on the field, possibly unable to unleash their full strength."
"Yes, this time the Ling Family seems doomed. Not only did they get a waste like Ye Huan, but also encountered the suddenly emerging powerhouse dark horse of the Shangguan Clan, the throne is likely to change hands!"
"Which is quite good, the Ling Family has been arrogant for tens of thousands of years, it’s time to hand over the throne under their buttocks, letting other families have a seat!"
The audience speculated widely, making guesses about the upcoming matches.
Most widely believe that the Shangguan Clan has a seventy percent chance of victory this time.
While the Ling Family only has a thirty percent, or perhaps even less chance of winning!
The most lamented thing is, the Ling Family foolishly sent Ye Huan to participate in the advancement matches, had they sent the number one person below the core disciples, their chances might have improved slightly.
Unanimously, the audience believed the Ling Family made a mistake!
Ye Huan’s reliance on underhanded means to acquire the Dark Night Dragon Sword was not bad, but it doesn’t mean the Dark Night Dragon Sword can defeat everyone!
The talents of the Shangguan Clan, even the weakest among them, are of high-level Divine King tier!
The Dark Night Dragon Sword couldn’t let them taste defeat at all!
The Ling Family planning to rely on Ye Huan with the Dark Night Dragon Sword to claim the championship for the Ling Family is simply unrealistic.
The Ling Family seems to have shot themselves in the foot this time!
