C379 The Thoughts of the Higher Ups of the Two Sects

At the very front of the Five Mountain Sect's observation post, a group of high ranking officials had solemn expressions on their faces. Although they had promised Duanmu Kuang that they would let him do whatever he wanted, Duanmu Kuang had also revealed his astonishing combat ability. However, the group of high ranking officials still couldn't truly feel at ease.

After all, Duanmu Kuang was only a Great Perfection of Essence Opening Stage, and the gap between him and the true disciples of Blaze Sect was just too great.

Even if he had the ability to fight above his level and defeat some of the ordinary true disciples of the Blaze Sect, if his luck wasn't good, he would be able to draw the eldest disciple of the Blaze Sect, Muh Yi. This made the higher ups of the Five Mountain Sect feel very uncertain.

And most importantly... Duanmu Kuang was the Five Mountain Sect's most talented disciple ever since the sect was founded. In the hearts of many higher ups of the Five Mountain Sect, Duanmu Kuang was the most talented disciple they had ever received. In fact, they didn't want this talented disciple to take such a risk.

However, Duanmu Kuang had repeatedly requested for help, and he had revealed a strong Yuan energy that he had never displayed in front of anyone before. Only then did the higher ups of Five Mountain Sect reluctantly agree to let him give it a try. Now that both parties had made a heavy vow, it was impossible to change it. The higher ups of Five Mountain Sect suddenly felt empty in their hearts. They were really worried for Duanmu Kuang.

As for the Blaze Sect, they were delighted. The elders and Sect Master of Blaze Sect were all smiling.

It was a success. The trap that they had set up had actually fallen into Duanmu Kuang's trap just like that. Furthermore, no one from the higher ups of the Five Mountain Sect came out to stop him. The process had gone too smoothly. It had gone beyond their imagination.

Without a doubt, as long as Duanmu Kuang bumped into anyone from the Blaze Sect in the arena... After all, his cultivation base was too low. In the common sense of ordinary people, any true disciple of the Blaze Sect could torture him at will.

"Haha! What's wrong with the people of the Five Mountain Sect? They are usually quite smart, but now, they dare to let this kid accept the suggestion of our disciples. Do they really think that with this kid's Great Perfection of Essence Opening Stage cultivation base? The Sect Master of Blaze Sect, Huo Liancheng, said with a smile. Although his voice was soft, but he smiled very happily.

In fact, the reason why the people of the Blaze Sect made such a suggestion and demanded Duanmu Kuang to make an oath that he would not admit defeat was suggested by Huo Liancheng.

When he was in Southern Ferocious Land, not only did Duanmu Kuang cripple a dozen core disciples of Blaze Sect, he also crippled them. He had always wanted to take revenge on Duanmu Kuang. Now, it seemed like the opportunity had come. Duanmu Kuang had already made a solemn vow. Everything was going in the direction he had simulated.

"Hehe, Sect Master, don't worry. I have already reminded my disciples about this. We can't hold back when we meet this kid on the arena. If we can kill him, then we'll kill him. If we can't kill him, we will cripple him. To my disciples... The difficulty isn't high. They can definitely do it. " Immediately, someone joined in and said to Huo Liancheng with a smile.

This was the Great Elder of Blaze Sect, Mufan. The Great Disciple of Blaze Sect, Muh Yi, was his grandson. At this moment, this old man spoke with confidence, declaring that everything had been arranged.

"En!" Huo Liancheng nodded and said, "This kid isn't simple, even though the Sect Chief doesn't like him very much. But I have to admit that his talent might be the best amongst all the disciples that the Five Mountain Sect has received since its founding. Even Wu Yue can't compare to him. We absolutely can't let him grow so smoothly."

The kid Huo Liancheng was talking about was naturally Duanmu Kuang. The reason why he was so eager to get rid of Duanmu Kuang was because Duanmu Kuang had offended him before. The main reason was... It was because he couldn't tolerate the Five Mountain Sect becoming stronger.

Wu Yue, the Five Mountain Sect alone was enough to suppress the younger generation of the other sects. Now, there was another Duanmu Kuang, and his talent was even more outstanding than Wu Yue's. It was imaginable that if these two could grow up smoothly... How powerful would the Five Mountain Sect become?

An outstanding disciple would have a huge impact on the sect. The Blaze Sect had never gotten along well with the Five Mountain Sect, even without the incident in the Southern Ferocious Land. Huo Liancheng would never allow a genius like Duanmu Kuang to grow smoothly.

He thought for a moment, then instructed Mufan, "Great Elder Mufan, this matter is of great importance. Remember to give a reminder to the true disciples who are participating in the competition. Tell them that whoever can get rid of that brat will be a great contributor to the Blaze Sect. The sect will give him everything he wants. Also, you have to remember that if possible... I hope that the first disciple I meet will be able to do this, even if I can't kill him... We can't let the people of Five Mountain Sect have the chance to save that kid. "

Mufan didn't dare show any neglect when he heard this. He nodded his head repeatedly and replied, "Don't worry about the Sect Master. I will give my disciples instructions regarding this matter later. I believe that as long as this kid draws a disciple from my sect, we will be able to deal with him in the first round. When the time comes, I want to see if those old men from the Five Mountain Sect can still remain as calm as they are now. It's just a small martial cultivator at Essence Opening Stage, but they dare to shout that they want to teach the eldest disciple of the Blaze Sect a lesson. They are simply too arrogant. "

It was obvious that he didn't have a good impression of Duanmu Kuang. Putting aside the matter of Duanmu Kuang crippling a disciple of Blaze Sect, just what he had done to Muh Yi was a capital offense in Mufan's heart.

" En, the Great Elder is handling this matter. I, the Sect Chief, will naturally be at ease. " Huo Liancheng nodded and looked at the elders of Blaze Sect. He smiled and said, "All of you should relax a little. A temporary loss is nothing. As long as we can get rid of that brat, it's more important than anything else."

The loss he mentioned was the matter of the other sects targeting the disciples of Blaze Sect in the second round of the competition. Now, the Blaze Sect had lost three battles, and all three outer circle disciples had been defeated by the disciples of the other sects in the arena. Only one of them was still standing on the stage, and he had suffered a very serious injury. He was fighting a great battle with Zhang Chen of the Five Mountain Sect, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

"The Sect Master is wise." The others agreed with him. Compared to crippling Duanmu Kuang, the competition between the outer circle disciples was not that important. In fact, the competition between the lower level disciples only earned them face. It was not very useful, and it did not have much effect on the origin stone ore that separated the Southern Ferocious Land.

No matter which sect it was, the result of the competition between low grade disciples wasn't really important. Whether it was the Blaze Sect or the Five Mountain Sect, it was the same.

Very soon, the winner and loser were determined in a few groups on the arena. Only the group of people from the Five Mountain Sect and the Blaze Sect remained on the arena. The strength of these two people was almost indistinguishable, and their battle was as intense as fire and tea. It was hard to tell who was stronger.

However, after the vow between Duanmu Kuang and the people of the Blaze Sect, the people no longer had the enthusiasm for this kind of competition. Their minds were focused on the competition between the true disciples a few days later.

After all, the true disciples' match was the most exciting one. Moreover, there were some other factors that added in this time, causing people's expectations to increase. This feeling had erupted ahead of time.

"Junior brother, do your best and get rid of him."

"Junior brother, do your best! Defeat the Blaze Sect!"

Only the disciples of Five Mountain Sect and Blaze Sect were cheering for their fellow disciples. The two sects were like fire and water. To the disciples of these two sects, they didn't want to lose to each other in any competition.

The higher ups of these two sects were as still as a mountain. They didn't even want to watch the competition on the stage, whether it was the Five Mountain Sect or the Blaze Sect. Each of the higher ups had their own thoughts. One side was thinking about how to protect Duanmu Kuang. The other side was thinking about how to destroy him.
