words caused Lao He's lips, which had finally closed, to open wide again.Without a formula, merely by smelling and tasting, he could discern the ingredients of elixirs. Such skill was unheard of, eve...Just as Teng Lin suddenly appeared and stopped Jiang Yun, Tian You's figure also appeared within the Shan Hai branch of the Wen Dao Tian sect.

Although he has already sacrificed his pride and severed a finger to obtain the Heaven's Mandate, finally agreeing to allow disciples of the Monster Race from the Shan Hai School to participate in the Grand Competition, he still hasn't told anyone about this news.

Because he always held onto a glimmer of hope, hoping for a miracle to occur.

For example, if one's protector, Gu Bulao, could appear in time, or if Elder An could stand up and support the Shanhai Branch...

It's a pity that all his hopes failed to come true.

According to the main sect's rules, during the Grand Competition, each branch must send out 100 disciples to compete. And tomorrow, these 100 disciples will set off for the main sect first, and then wait at the main sect for the start of the competition.

Therefore, he could no longer afford to wait any longer and had to grit his teeth and come here.

As he had anticipated, when he told Lan Huashao and Xia Zhongxing and the others about this news, everyone's anger erupted all at once.

After all, out of the one hundred disciples who were originally selected to participate in the war by the Shan Hai division, more than half, including Lao Hei and Liu Tianren, were demon clan members.

Everyone was holding back their anger, hoping to vent it all out during the competition.

But by not allowing disciples from the demon clan to participate in the grand competition, the strength of the entire Shan Hai branch was instantly weakened by half. This clearly amounted to bullying them; how could they possibly tolerate such treatment

Especially those with hot tempers, like Lao Hei, immediately started clamoring to withdraw from the competition this time, and even expressed some dissatisfaction towards Dao Tianyou.

They joined the Questioning Sect entirely because of Jiang Yun, and Dao Tianyou had nothing to do with it.

Looking at the faces filled with anger, listening to their discontent and even their blatant complaints against him, Dao Tianyou remained silent.

Until long after, Dao Tianyou finally slowly raised his hand, revealing his palm that was missing a finger.

"I know you are angry, I know you are dissatisfied, I know as your former Sect Leader, I have let you down, but, that's all I can do!"

Originally, Dao Tianyou didn't want others to know about his broken finger. However, seeing the excitement in their eyes now, he also understood that if he couldn't appease them, then if they acted impulsively out of anger, the consequences awaiting them would be far more serious than just being unable to take action.

As Dao Tianyou's voice rang out, especially when everyone saw Dao Tianyou's palm missing a finger, the crowd gradually fell silent.

Although their abilities might not be the best, they have lived for a very long time and have accumulated plenty of experience. So, through Dao Tianyou's severed finger and the treatment they themselves have endured over the years, they have vaguely guessed at some truths.

Even so, some people were still muttering under their breath, and just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "Shut up all of you!"

Speaking is Xia Zhongxing!

Although the temporary Sect Master of Shanhai Branch is Lan Huazhao, Xia Zhongxing usually doesn't interfere with internal affairs. However, he is not only the most powerful person in Shanhai Branch now, but also the closest to Jiang Yun.

He usually keeps to himself to avoid suspicion, but this time he has to step forward.

Only he can control all these people.

Xia Zhongxing didn't even look at the crowd, only speaking to Dao Tianyou in a low voice: "Sect Master Dao, what exactly happened"

Dao Tianyou managed to squeeze a wry smile onto his face and said: "It's nothing major. It's because of some personal grudges of mine that have implicated all of you. So, I apologize for the inconvenience!"

As he spoke, Dao Tianyou's figure had already bent down, but Xia Zhongxing simply waved his sleeve and stopped Dao Tianyou: "Master Daotian, you don't have to do this!"

Then, Xia Zhongxing swept his gaze across the crowd and said coldly: "You should have all heard what Daozong's master just said!"

"Now, you are faced with only two choices. One is to follow the Dao Sect Master's orders and have all demon clan disciples abstain from the grand competition."

"Another one is that you can quit the Question Dao Sect!"

As soon as the second path was mentioned, everyone instantly clamped their mouths shut.

Even though they might still feel resentful, they would absolutely never choose the second path.

Because when they first joined the Wudao Sect, each person had taken an oath. They were people of the Wudao Sect in life, and ghosts of the Wudao Sect in death.

Moreover, they have finally made it to this day. If they choose to withdraw from the Wendaozong at this time, it would be a complete betrayal.

Don't say that the other disciples won't forgive them, even they themselves won't forgive themselves.

After a long silence, Lao Hei whispered, "I choose the first path!"

With Lao Hei's opening statement, Liu Tianren quickly followed up: "I also choose the first path!"

Finally, everyone gave the same choice, and Xia Zhongxing nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then while we still have time, immediately go and replace all the demon clan disciples among the combatants."

Then, early tomorrow morning, we set off for the main temple!

……

Just as Dao Tianyou let out a sigh of relief, he asked about the situation within the main sect. Dao Tianyun closed his eyes slightly.

A young man stood before him, his face full of respect. "Brother," he said, "The Shan Hai division has been finalized, and there will be no demon clan disciples participating in the battle."

Dao Tianyou said expressionlessly, "They didn't object"

Yes, but it was soothed by a few words from a human cultivator.

"I didn't expect it, I still underestimated these demonic clans. The Shan Hai Fenzong being able to birth a Dao-seeking light is quite impressive."

Dao Tianyun remained with his eyes closed, saying: "Since we couldn't incite their anger, then we'll stick to the original plan. We'll wait until the grand competition, until they appear, and at that time, you listen to my command and drive them out."

"If just one of them dares to make a move, kill them all!"

"Yes!" The young man cupped his fists in response and then hesitated, saying, "What if they don't make a move"

Hearing the man's words, Dao Tianyun's eyes finally slowly opened, and he coldly glanced at the other party and said, "If they don't make a move, I will have to make a move against you!"

The man shivered suddenly, hurriedly lowering his head and not daring to look into Tian Yun's eyes any longer. "I know what to do!"

……

At the same time, all major forces preparing to participate in the Wudao Sect Grand Competition have basically started their journey.

Although they all had special methods that could greatly shorten the time it took to reach the Heavenly Dao, it still took at least half a month.

In the depths of Yaodao's inner sanctum, Dan Daozi gazed at Mu Shaofeng's dantian within his medicinal pool, now completely healed. He muttered to himself, "Originally, I had no interest in attending the Wudao Sect Grand Competition. But since Jiang Yun is a disciple of the Wudao Sect, perhaps I might encounter him!"

"As for that fiery red moon, I haven't heard from her since. But she always loves the excitement, so there's a good chance she's gone to ask Heaven for news. Well, then I might as well go and see for myself!"

"By the way, people from the Kong family have always been concerned about Jiang Yun's safety. Why not bring a few of them along this time!"

……

Just as Dan Daozi had guessed, Yue Rhuohuo was also heading towards Wendaitian at this moment.

But this time, she wasn't just going to watch the commotion. She was going for...Ginger Cloud.

Since she already knew that Ginger Cloud's identity was the sect master of the Shan Hai Wen Dao branch, and thought that Ginger Cloud would definitely appear in the competition, so she went to take a look.
