Chapter 1075: Wait and See

"During the previous fight, it was too chaotic to notice."

An Mingji’s voice was hoarse, as if something else was affecting it.

"Be more careful next time."

Gu Jin disliked having dirt on him, especially the filth and blood from the members of the Luosha Sect.

An Mingji responded with a sound, not releasing Gu Jin’s hand.

The atmosphere between them on stage was ambiguous, while their disciples remained indifferent, watching their noses and putting their minds at ease, seemingly unaware of the strange atmosphere between them.

Until—

Yin Honglin saw the disciples previously sent out return, his terrified expression receding, hiding a hint of excitement.

He glanced at the Luosha Sect disciples on the stage, all of whom were useless and no longer of any use.

Taking a few steps forward, he loudly ordered the disciples beside him, "Clean up the stage, the competition continues!"

Everyone present heard these words clearly.

Gu Jin and An Mingji exchanged a look, their eyes revealing a shared understanding.

Together they watched Yin Honglin, whose attitude had become hardliner in a short time, deciding to watch the changes silently.

Below the stage, the crowd, still lost in the excitement and thrill of the previous battle, suddenly changed their expressions.

The continuation of the competition meant that more people would die.

Ultimately, they couldn’t escape from being used as stepping stones.

Yin Honglin glanced at Gu Jin, An Mingji, and the others, then flew down to the stage.

His shoes touched the clean wooden planks, devoid of blood, as he walked towards Gu Jin and the others.

Even without lowering his head, he easily avoided the blood-stained wooden planks, demonstrating his high level of cultivation.

Standing in front of Gu Jin, Yin Honglin’s voice was calm, "In this battle, the Xuanji Sect wins."

It was like announcing the result of the competition.

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow, gazing at him with a half-smile.

Yin Honglin continued, "The Xuanji Sect, as rumored, is indeed talented with exceptional skills. I wish to learn a few moves from Sect Leader Gu, but with the competition not yet over, I ask everyone to watch the fight below. After the competition ends, I sincerely invite Sect Leader Gu to gather at the Yin Yue Sect."

If one ignored his sinister eyes filled with calculations, those words might almost seem believable.

Gu Jin’s bright and beautiful eyes deeply looked into the elder’s eyes, as if seeing straight into the depths of his heart, discerning all his filth and schemes clearly.

Perhaps the clarity in Gu Jin’s gaze was disconcerting, forcing Yin Honglin to look away first, focusing on Yu Shuo and the others behind him.

"We’ll see about that!"

Gu Jin’s voice was icy.

She held onto An Mingji’s hand and descended the stage.

Allen, Yu Shuo, and the others immediately followed.

The previously silent cultivators, upon seeing this, became even more flustered.

Listening to Yin Honglin’s words clearly showed his intent to ally with the Xuanji Sect. If the two sects joined forces, could they still survive?

They whispered among themselves, occasionally casting glances at the members of the Xuanji Sect in the front row.

The disciples of the Yin Yue Sect quickly cleaned up the stage, washing away the bright red blood that was there before.

All this was completed in just over ten minutes.

Without the lingering fresh and strong smell of blood in the air, no one would have guessed that a fierce battle occurred here, where blood flowed like rivers on the stage.

The competition continued, with the upcoming matches featuring the Yin Yue Sect against other cultivators.

Perhaps due to the prior slaughter between the Xuanji Sect and the Luosha Sect, the subsequent matches saw the Yin Yue Sect only fighting lightly, refraining from severely hurting others.

As for the cultivators challenging the Yin Yue Sect disciples, they lacked the capability to harm them.

The confrontations between both sides were like mere posturing, utterly uninteresting.
