Chapter 2103: Admitting Their Defeat The strong cultivators of the Wen Clan took deep breaths. They couldn’t describe how they felt. They couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Tian Chi had failed... Apart from their own cultivators, the Jing Clan had invited many other people, including some extremely strong cultivators. Unfortunately, the Wen Clan had also invited some incredibly strong cultivators. When Tian Chi had stepped on the battle stage, they had thought they still had a chance to win, but now they knew it was over. Tian Chi went back to the group of people from the Wen Clan. Many strong cultivators from the Wen Clan stood up and bowed before Tian Chi and Ban Ruo. They were so happy, they said, “Thank you very much for your help. If you need anything, we’ll do our best to help you.” The deployment mine was extremely important to them. The two had managed to protect it. The Jing Clan’s cultivators looked glum. They had lost again. They hadn’t managed to take either of the lesser Clans’ deployment mines. They were also staring at Tian Chi and Ban Ruo. Who were those strangers? Where were they from? Even people who weren’t from the Jing Clan were wondering who those people where. Everybody had noticed Ban Ruo and Tian Chi. In the last fight, they had seen Ruo Xie. These extremely strong cultivators had never been seen in Qing Shan City before. With their strength, people would have definitely noticed them in Qing Shan City. Everything was so mysterious... The members of the Yu Clan were extremely happy. They had made an alliance with the Feng Clan and the Wen Clan, and those two clans had managed to protect their deployment mines. They were also worried at the same time. The Jing Clan might do all they could, using their last trump cards to take their own deployment mine. If the Yu Clan failed, the Jing Clan would definitely suppress them. They couldn’t fail either, just like the Yu Clan and the Wen Clan. “See you at the Yu Clan’s deployment mine!” said the members of the Jing Clan as they stood up. They rolled up their sleeves and left quickly. Everybody was watching them as they left, and they were under pressure. The Jing Clan would definitely use their full strength to take this last deployment mine. It was their last and thus most important battle since they hadn’t managed to take the others. Everybody knew that the Jing Clan hadn’t made their two strongest cultivators fight yet: people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, Jing Ran and Jing Yan. Who were they going to fight against? “Let’s go.” The members of the Yu Clan looked nervous. Their silhouettes flickered, and everyone followed them. The next round of battles was going to happen at their deployment mine! “Brother Hou, Brother Ruo Xie, let’s go and watch,” the members of the Feng Clan offered Hou Qing Lin and Ruo Xie politely. Hou Qing Lin nodded. Of course he wanted to watch! The members of the Wen Clan also asked Tian Chi and Ban Ruo to come with them and watch. Everybody was going to the Yu Clan’s deployment mine to watch the battles. The next round of battles was going to be amazing! ————————– There were many people at the Yu Clan’s deployment mine. The crowd noticed Jing Yan and the others arriving. They were all there, including Jing Xiao Yue. Everybody watched the members of the Yu Clan as well. They noticed Yu Lin, who was also a member of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry and had come back. Yu Ye, who was quite talented, was there too, as well as some others. Apart from them, there were some strong cultivators from Qing Shan City the Yu Clan had invited. “No need to talk too much. Yu Clan, choose a fighter first!” said the leader of the group of people from the Jing Clan. They had lost the first two rounds of battles. They were wary, nervous, and on edge. Jing Xiao Yue gazed into the distance; she couldn’t see Mu Chen. She looked disappointed. He wasn’t going to show up? “Xiao Yue, don’t wait for him. If I see him in Qing Shan City, I’ll kill him personally. You almost wasted your life for him,” said Jing Yan, who was standing next to Jing Xiao Yue. “Indeed, Xiao Yue, Mu Chen will not show up. This time, it’ll be a battle to death. If he shows up, we’ll kill him!” said someone else. Jing Xiao Yue remained silent. She looked at the members of the Yu Clan and noticed Lin Feng. What had he been trying to tell her? Lin Feng sensed something, he gazed into the distance and noticed Jing Xiao Yue too. He nodded at her, which made her eyes twinkle. She had some kind of premonition that Lin Feng knew Mu Chen... “Yu Lin, what do you think for the first battle?” Yu Kun asked Yu Lin. That round of battle was too important for them. They had to be vigilant, they had no choice. “We’ll have to choose people first for the first three battles. Su Mu and I can definitely win two battles. If anyone else can win, that would be perfect,” whispered Yu Lin. He looked solemn and serious because apart from Jing Yan and Jing Ran, he had noticed someone else on the Jing Clan’s side. They had invited someone else from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry! The Jing Clan had three people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. Apart from Su Mu, they had also invited someone else who understood Dao strength. The main issue was that they had to pick their fighters first. “Yu Ye, you go and try first,” said a strong cultivator of the Yu Clan to Yu Ye. Yu Ye is extremely strong. However, the Jing Clan will do all they can. Yu Ye will definitely lose, everyone thought. A strong wind started blowing. Jing Ran landed on the battle stage. The crowd already considered he had won the battle when they saw him. Jing Ran was from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. Yu Ye couldn’t possibly win. And that was how it ended up, Yu Ye lost really quickly. Jing Clan relied on deployment strength to oppress her and then overwhelmed her, even injuring her. The Jing Clan only had to win three battles with their cultivators from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. For the second battle, the Jing Clan sent a strong cultivator they had invited. The Yu Clan sent the only person they had invited from Qing Shan City, who understood Dao strength. They won. Two battles, one victory, one defeat. Everybody was tense and nervous. Third battle, who was the Yu Clan going to choose? “If we lose this battle, we’ll have to win the two others. But nobody can oppress Jing Yan!” was the opinion of the strong cultivators of the Yu Clan. It wasn’t about courage and determination anymore; without strong cultivators and without the possibility to choose according to the opposite clan’s fighter, it was extremely difficult. Lin Feng looked at the members of the Wen Clan. He looked at Tian Chi, they nodded at one another. A strong wind started blowing. A cultivator moved towards the Yu Clan’s members quickly. It was Xing Zhan. A terrifying bestial Qi invaded the atmosphere around him, he looked like a war beast. “If the Yu Clan trusts me, I am willing to help the Yu Clan!” said Xing Zhan indifferently. Everybody frowned. Yu Kun looked at the members of the Wen Clan and a strong cultivator of the Wen Clan said, “Brother Yu, he’s one of Master Tian Chi’s fellow disciples who came to help us. You can trust him!” When Yu Kun heard this, his eyes twinkled. He had seen how strong Tian Chi was! “Alright, since you’re willing to help, we accept and we’re moved. If you win, we’ll be incredibly grateful.” “Please go ahead then, Your Excellency!” said the strong cultivators of the Yu Clan. Xing Zhan nodded and jumped onto the battle stage. — The members of the Jing Clan all had unsightly expressions. Tian Chi’s fellow disciple? He was from abroad too! Why were all these people plotting against the Jing Clan? “Thanks for helping, brother!” said Jing Yan, nodding at the strong cultivator next to him. It was his fellow disciple. He was extremely strong and also an excellent deployment spell caster. He had to win! — On the side of the Wen Clan, a strong cultivator warned Tian Chi, “That guy is from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, he understands Dao strength and his deployment spells are terrifying. He’s extremely strong!” “Apart from him, is Jing Yan also from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry?” asked Tian Chi. “Indeed!” the strong cultivator of the Wen Clan nodding. He didn’t know why Tian Chi asked, but he replied anyway. “I understand,” said Tian Chi nodding. He looked at the battle stage and relayed that to Xing Zhan telepathically. “Your Excellency, please.” said the strong cultivator on the battle stage to Xing Zhan. However, Xing Zhan smiled and said, “I give up.” Then, he jumped off the battle stage and went back to the group of people from the Wen Clan. When the crowd saw that, they were all astonished. The members of the Wen Clan, the Jing Clan and the Yu Clan were astonished. He just gave up? After that, the members of the Yu Clan all looked quite pissed! “Brother Wen, what is this supposed to mean?” exclaimed a strong cultivator of the Yu Clan to the members of the Wen Clan. He looked furious. The members of the Wen Clan looked at Tian Chi and grimaced. Why had Tian Chi done that? Tian Chi looked calm as he looked back at the members of the Yu Clan. He said, “There are two more battles. Don’t get angry. The Jing Clan only has two fighters left. Even if the Jing Clan takes the Yu Clan’s deployment mine, we’ll help the Yu Clan get it back.” When the members of the Jing Clan heard that, their smiles stiffened. Indeed. They had no great fighters left. If they stole the Yu Clan’s deployment mine, those people would cause trouble and help their opponents get it back? At that time, how would they solve the situation?
