C377 He Had to Convince the Higher-ups

However, when he saw the eyes of the Seventh Elder and recalled the reaction of the man just now, Duanmu Kuang immediately came to a realization. This was a trap, and the goal was to trap him.

He was extremely smart to begin with, so he could figure it out with just a thought. The man's action just now was too abnormal. It was completely different from the reaction of Muh Yi and the others. There must be something wrong with this. Perhaps, the Blaze Sect wanted to take his life in this competition.

"Hehe, Blaze Sect, you guys are really ruthless. Do you want revenge? It's really hard for you guys to come up with such a method to tempt me to swear a heavy oath. However, your wishful thinking is destined to fail. Whoever wants to scheme against who will do it. That might not be the case."

After figuring out the problem, Duanmu Kuang secretly sneered. His facial expression remained unchanged, but he still followed the Seventh Elder's words and retreated, not retaliating at the first possible moment.

Of course, Duanmu Kuang definitely wouldn't back down. With his personality of taking revenge, how could he be indifferent when others wanted to plot against him? How could he tolerate it just like that?

Duanmu Kuang didn't return to his position as a true disciple. On the contrary, he came to the front of the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect and whispered to them, carrying out his plan.

Since the people of the Blaze Sect wanted to lock him down with a heavy oath and prevent him from admitting defeat in the competition, he would use the same method to teach the Blaze Sect a lesson.

Without a doubt, if the people of the Blaze Sect really agreed to it... The one who would cry in the end would definitely be the Blaze Sect. With Duanmu Kuang's terrifying combat strength, he would definitely be the one crying in the end. None of the true disciples of Blaze Sect could do anything to him, not even those who were worthy enough to be his opponent. Only Eldest Senior Brother and Muh Yi might be able to fight Duanmu Kuang for some time.

Of course, if he wanted to carry out this plan, he must first convince the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect. The sect was a place with strict rules. If the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect did not agree, then Duanmu Kuang's plan was going to have an abortion.

Therefore, the first step he needed to take was to convince the higher ups of the Five Mountain Sect that he was as strong as any of the true disciples of the Blaze Sect.

Otherwise, according to the protection provided by the sect, with Duanmu Kuang's peerless talent, the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect wouldn't be at ease, and they wouldn't allow him to carry out a plan that looked like he was going to die. After all, his true cultivation base was just too low. He hadn't even reached the Profound Essence Stage yet, and there was a huge gap between him and the true disciples of Blaze Sect.

"You little brat, are you sure there's nothing wrong with that? Do you really have such a powerful combat strength that you can fight Great Perfection of Profound Essence Stage warriors with your Essence Opening Stage cultivation base?"

Regarding this, the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect were naturally skeptical. No matter how Duanmu Kuang patted his chest and promised, the group of old men just wouldn't agree to it. They were afraid that something would happen to him.

Especially the Seventh Elder who had a slight relationship with Duanmu Kuang. He immediately rejected him, telling him not to think too much about it. It was impossible for the sect to agree to this.

The Seventh Elder was the one who brought Duanmu Kuang back to the Five Mountain Sect. Naturally, he had a special feeling towards Duanmu Kuang, which made him think highly of him. At the same time, he was also the one who had the most objections.

According to what he said, it was better for the little bastard to obediently return to his seat. Not to mention that he was confident, even if he could defeat Wu Yue, the sect would not let him take such a risk.

After all, there weren't many peerless geniuses in this world, especially those like Duanmu Kuang. It was rare to see one in ten thousand years, or even ten thousand years.

It wasn't easy for the Five Mountain Sect to recruit such a talented disciple, and they were just waiting for him and Wu Yue to grow up. How could they allow the Five Mountain Sect to flourish? How could they allow him to take such a huge risk?

All of the higher ups were against it. Their attitude was firm, and they didn't allow him to say anything. In any case, they wouldn't agree to it no matter what.

Because of this, Duanmu Kuang was very distressed. Naturally, he knew the good intentions of the higher ups. However, this way, it would be difficult for him to carry out his plan. He couldn't set a trap for the people of Blaze Sect. He could teach all the disciples of Blaze Sect who he met in the arena a lesson. This made him very unhappy.

Because, as long as his combat strength was displayed in the arena, it was very likely that some disciples of Blaze Sect would admit defeat. After all, the opponent would be decided by drawing lots. No one could guarantee who would be the first opponent they would meet.

If it was an ordinary opponent, it would be fine, but if it was a stronger opponent in the first match... Then, his strength would naturally be exposed, and he would want to teach all the disciples of the Blaze Sect who were in the same group as him a lesson. That would be very difficult. Those who knew that they were no match for him. He would definitely not fight him anymore.

"Sect Master, and elders, please trust me. The people of Blaze Sect can't do anything to me. Shangguan Nu, have you heard of him? He is known as the number one youth in the continent. I have fought with him before..." Helpless, Duanmu Kuang could only reveal some secrets.

At the same time, he also revealed some of his hidden strength in front of the higher ups, shocking a group of white-haired old men.

Finally, under Duanmu Kuang's relentless pestering and persuasion, the higher ups finally agreed, because the strength that Duanmu Kuang revealed had far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Originally, the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect knew that he had the ability to fight across a large realm. In the past, when Duanmu Kuang was still an inner circle disciple... He had done such a shocking thing in the Five Mountain Sect. He had once wreaked havoc in the Heroic Meeting. He had injured dozens of core disciples who were one realm higher than him.

It was because of this reason that Duanmu Kuang was exiled to the Southern Ferocious Land. But now it seemed that he had made great progress there. He had become even stronger, and he had not fallen behind in all aspects. All the higher-ups were very satisfied with this.

"You little brat, you have to remember that if you meet an unbeatable opponent in the ring... You just deal with it casually and pretend to be unconscious. We will naturally save you. No one can hurt you. "

Although the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect had decided to let Duanmu Kuang give it a try and agree to let him carry out the plan, some of them were still worried, especially the Seventh Elder, who had repeatedly instructed him.

Without a doubt, Duanmu Kuang had his own plan, and the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect had naturally come up with a set of targeted rescue measures. No matter what, the higher ups didn't want anything to happen to Duanmu Kuang. The entire Five Mountain Sect couldn't afford to lose this disciple. They couldn't afford to lose this disciple.

At the same time, some of the higher ups were extremely angry, feeling incomparably resentful towards the despicable behavior of the Blaze Sect. An outstanding disciple like Duanmu Kuang, the Blaze Sect actually wanted to destroy him with a poisonous scheme. This was simply intolerable!

"You little brat, remember this. If you encounter a disciple of the Blaze Sect in the arena, don't hold back. Fight to your death for this old man. We will watch everything for you. This will anger that old donkey Huo Liancheng to death."

This was the Third Elder of the Five Mountain Sect. His hair and beard were all white, and he had a sage-like appearance. However, his words didn't seem to be ordinary at all. Instead, they were extremely cruel. His entire body was filled with the stench of blood as he explained to Duanmu Kuang.

"En. Elder, please rest assured. I will definitely do this!" Duanmu Kuang nodded heavily and replied.

There was no need for the elders to say anything, he would definitely do the same. Since the people of Blaze Sect wanted to use a plot against him, he naturally wouldn't be polite to any of them. Using violence to suppress violence, using one's teeth to pay back. This had always been his style of doing things.
