Immortal Rebellion: Investing in Cause and Effect, Unexpectedly Hijacking Li Muwan's Deal

Chapter 24 Arena Setup: What I, Lu Xuan, want is not just rankings!

"Since the people from Luohe Sect dare to scatter, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

A blood-robed disciple of the Demonic Sect grinned maliciously, his hands forming a hand seal. Blood mist condensed into three blood-red crows, which screech as they pounced on Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun drew his longsword.

"Destroy the evil!"

He shouted and unleashed several sword beams, shattering the two blood crows. However, one of them managed to dodge the attack and arrived in front of Zhou Yun.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yiyi, who was standing right next to Zhou Yun, immediately threw out the short dagger in her hand.

The short spikes transformed into a streak of green light, precisely scattering the blood crows.

Sun Hai slammed his fists into the ground, and an earthen wall immediately rose up, blocking the sneak attack from another disciple of the Demonic Sect.

However, the people of the Temple of War, lacking any martial ethics, actually joined the attack on Luohe Gate at this time.

Huo Hongfei, wielding a crimson giant axe, brought it down on Huo Hongfei's head.

Its blade strike was exceptionally fierce, aimed directly at Zhou Yun's head.

Zhou Yun parried with his sword, and with a clang, the sword trembled and his tiger's mouth split open.

With his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was actually shaken by this single strike, causing his blood to surge.

"Watch out, that red-haired guy is at the peak of Foundation Establishment!"

Zhou Yun quickly spoke up to warn him.

At the same time, Lin Tao, another disciple of the War God Temple, silently struck Liu Yiyi in the back with white flames burning in his palms.

Liu Yiyi noticed something, let out a sharp cry, spun around, and tried to force the opponent back with a short dagger.

However, the white flame in Lin Tao's palm was extremely hot, and the poisonous light was burned and dissipated before it even got close.

Although Liu Yiyi retreated quickly, her right shoulder was still grazed by the flames, and her robe on her shoulder immediately turned black.

Sun Hai was entangled by two disciples of the Demonic Sect.

He roared continuously, barely managing to cope with the force of his powerful punches.

Three disciples of the Luohe Sect were caught in a fierce battle.

Lu Xuan, however, pulled Li Muwan along the edge of the arena, constantly "escaping" the fight.

Outside the arena, the atmosphere at Luohe Gate was extremely heavy.

An elder who had escorted his disciples to the battle couldn't help but ask anxiously:

"Zhou Yun and his team are already locked in a fierce battle, but Lu Qing and Li Muwan are just circling around on the sidelines. What are they doing?"

"Could they be having internal conflicts?" another person speculated.

"No matter how many personal grudges there are, they shouldn't act impulsively at such a crucial moment! This concerns the allocation of resources for our sect for the next 500 years. If they cause this trouble, what will become of the sect?"

At this moment, Elder Mei of the Law Enforcement Hall said in a low voice, "Elder Xu, your disciple Lu Qing is avoiding battle and wandering around, watching his fellow disciples being besieged but not making a move... When the sect leader asks about this later, I will have no choice but to tell the truth."

Although Xu Yuan was also anxious, he always protected his own.

Seeing that everyone else was trying to shift the blame onto Lu Qing, he couldn't help but yell, "What's the rush?! Lu Qing and Li Muwan are still here, aren't they?"

"Hmph!" The others turned their heads away, thinking to themselves, "With this kind of performance, he's probably going to be at the bottom of the rankings. Let's see how you, Old Monster Xu, explain yourself when the results come out!"

On the arena, Lu Xuan and Li Muwan had already run more than half a lap around the arena.

In fact,

At each specific location, Lu Xuan would secretly transmit his voice to Li Muwan, instructing her to set up a small, seemingly very simple magic array.

"Three steps forward to the left, 'Slow Formation'!"

"Two steps to the right and back, cracks appear in the ground, 'Disturbing the Gods Formation'."

"..."

Although Li Muwan was somewhat puzzled, she obediently followed Lu Xuan's instructions.

Using the fire of the elixir as a brush and spiritual energy as ink, she carved intricate array patterns into the ground.

The formation was very small, with an effective range of only about ten feet. Although it was concealed by illusions, she really didn't understand what significant effect it could have.

At this moment, in the center of the arena, the battle between Zhou Yun and his two companions had reached its most critical juncture.

Sun Hai's body was bound by three blood-red ropes, and a blood-red blade was shooting towards his chest!

Although he managed to break the ropes and shatter the blood blade at the last moment, he was still seriously injured in his ribs, almost to the point of exposing the bone.

Seeing Liu Yiyi being sent flying by Zhou Zihong's whip, Sun Hai tried to help her, but was ambushed from behind and struck by a bloody blade.

"Pfft!!"

The blood-stained blade pierced Sun Hai's right back, and the tip of the blade emerged from his right front chest.

"Ugh!!!" Sun Hai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sun Hai!!!" Zhou Yun's eyes were bloodshot, but then he saw Huo Hongfei wielding a giant flaming axe and slashing towards Liu Yiyi.

"Yiyi, retreat quickly!!!!" Zhou Yunqiang roared.

Then he forcefully channeled his spiritual power, broke through the encirclement of the Demonic Sect disciples, and shot out a sword light towards Huo Hongfei, attempting to force him to withdraw his move.

Huo Hongfei was distracted, and the giant axe in his hand froze for a moment.

Liu Yiyi took the opportunity to retreat, but her breathing had become very weak.

Huo Hongfei swept his giant axe across the room, the blade's edge sealing off all of Zhou Yun's escape routes.

Zhou Yun had no choice but to block with his sword.

With two clangs, Zhou Yun's longsword slipped from his hand, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Senior Brother Zhou!" Liu Yiyi exclaimed.

Sun Hai arrived to reinforce Huo Hongfei, delivering a powerful punch to his back.

Huo Hongfei retaliated with a slash, his blade energy shattering Sun Hai's fist energy. Sun Hai staggered backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Crush the jade talisman quickly!" Zhou Yun roared.

Looking at the seriously injured Zhou Yun and Sun Hai, Liu Yiyi's eyes revealed a trace of despair. In the end, she trembled as she took out the jade talisman and crushed it.

A flash of white light, and Liu Yiyi disappeared from the arena.

However, Zhou Yun and Sun Hai were still unwilling to withdraw.

The two of them stood back to back, surrounded by Huo Hongfei, Lin Tao, and Zhou Zihong from the War God Temple, as well as three other cultivators from the Demonic Sect.

"Not bad, you've got guts." Huo Hongfei looked at Zhou Yun and Sun Hai and said calmly, "Crush the jade talisman yourselves."

Zhou Yun said with a bitter smile, "Disciples of the Luohe Sect have no reason to retreat without a fight!"

Sun Hai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "If you want to fight, then fight! Enough with the nonsense!"

Zhou Zihong glanced at Lu Xuan and Li Muwan, who were still jumping around on the edge of the arena in the distance, and said disdainfully, "If your two fellow disciples had half the backbone of you two, you wouldn't have ended up in this state."

Zhou Yun and Sun Hai remained silent.

"Since they're unwilling to withdraw voluntarily, then we have no choice but to continue fighting!"

Before Huo Hongfei could finish speaking, all six of them attacked simultaneously!

Zhou Yun struggled to raise his longsword, using the last bit of spiritual power in his body to build a defense.

Sun Hai even burned his life essence and charged towards Huo Hongfei!

He actually wanted to die together with Huo Hongfei!

Unfortunately, the gap between them is simply too large.

Huo Hongfei's blade shattered Sun Hai's fist energy, but he was then struck in the back by Lin Tao's giant fiery hand, shattering his spine and causing him to collapse to the ground, unable to get up.

The attacks from the others instantly broke through Zhou Yun's defenses. Zhou Yun was sent flying backward, his ribs shattered, and he coughed up a lot of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly shouted, "Envoy, Zhou Yun and Sun Hai concede defeat!!"

Xiao Chen tilted his head slightly, and then his voice echoed throughout the arena: "Zhou Yun and Sun Hai are out."

Enveloped in white light, the two disappeared.

At this point, the three members of the Luohe Sect who had banded together were all wiped out.

"Quickly, feed them the pills!"

"Heal your wounds, heal them quickly!!"

The elders were in a flurry of activity, some feeding the medicine, others transferring spiritual energy.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan spoke up in time, and Zhou Yun and Sun Hai were saved.

"Sun Hai is too badly injured and has burned his life essence. His cultivation level is likely to drop," the elder of the Enforcement Hall said with great distress.

Liu Yiyi's face was now covered in tears.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan and Li Muwan in the arena. The two of them had finally completed a full lap around the arena.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a young couple enjoying the scenery...

At this moment, less than half of the people are still in the ring.

But all five members of the War God Temple were present.

The Demonic Sect has three members remaining, and the Yin Puppet Sect has two.

Burning Heaven Valley, Flaming Sun Sect, and Crimson Cloud Sect each have only one person left.

Finally, there are Lu Xuan and Li Muwan from Luohe Sect.

However, since Luohe Sect did not eliminate any disciples from other sects, its score was at the bottom.

In response, almost everyone thought that the two disciples of Luohe Sect who had survived until now by "avoiding battle" would probably be eliminated immediately in the next round of chaotic battle.

During this brief respite, Lu Xuan transmitted his voice to Li Muwan and said, "You go out first."

Li Muwan was taken aback and asked, "Now?"

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "You won't be able to help in the upcoming battle. If you stay here, I'll have to focus on protecting you."

Li Muwan bit her lip lightly, her gaze sweeping over the location where she had previously set up the magic array.

this moment,

She suddenly understood.

Lu Xuan's plans from the very beginning were not just about ranking!

What he wants is to seize the token!!!
