Chapter 2111 — Trying to Steal a Chicken Only to Lose the Rice
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Who would dare offend such a great gang, straddling both the underworld and the martial path? Moreover, the Fire Wolf Gang often took unorthodox paths, producing modified humans and bio-engineered men—truly surpassing even the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, the evil faction of the martial world. So, to say nothing of the hidden Yu family, even the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect would not dare oppose the Fire Wolf Gang.
Therefore, under these circumstances, the only option was to sacrifice some benefits to placate An Mingyue.
"Fine. Since that is the case, I hope you will present me with an answer that satisfies me!" An Mingyue said indifferently.
"The Fire Wolf Gang disciple is dead. The contest rankings shall be adjusted accordingly! The champion is the hidden Han family, second place is the Jinzhong Sect, and third place is the hidden You family!" Old Master Zhao had no choice but to announce the results thus.
At this moment, the happiest were Han Tianba and Han Xiaohu. They had been in second place, and now they had unexpectedly become champions—this joy had come far too quickly! And they finally understood why Wei Zhao had walked out of the formation: Wei Zhao had known all along that the other contestant was already dead!
Since the man was dead, what was there left to contest?
Old Master You was also delighted. The hidden You family had already been eliminated from the top three, and now they had unexpectedly fought their way back into the top three. This had somewhat turned the situation around for the hidden You family!
Of course, all four Heaven-rank old masters were implicated in the unauthorized raising of the formation's pressure. When the time came, they would probably have to give An Mingyue an explanation and might even have to part with some fine treasures. But this was a matter for the four families together, so Old Master You was naturally not too worried.
"I knew it—Boss would definitely win! Four consecutive championships, haha! This Hidden Family Summit really was tailor-made for you, Boss—it's like delivering treasure right into the hands of our hidden Han family!" Han Xiaohu said with a laugh.
Those old masters and sect leaders who had broken the hidden Han family's fortune—when they heard Han Xiaohu's words, their expressions turned extremely ugly!
It was a slap in the face—a naked slap in the face!
Originally, every one of the contest events and rules they had devised had been aimed at the Han family, but now they had turned into something tailor-made for them. It was enough to make a person die of anger!
"Very well. Hidden Han family, please collect your victor's wager. Jinzhong Sect and the hidden You family, take back your own items!" Old Master Zhao said.
Wei Zhao glanced at the wagers of the Jinzhong Sect and the hidden You family. The Jinzhong Sect's wager was the Minor Restoration Pill they had obtained earlier, while the hidden You family's wager was a Foundation Establishment Pill!
The Minor Restoration Pill was of no use to Wei Zhao—it was the very pill he had traded away—so Wei Zhao had no interest in it.
The Foundation Establishment Pill, however, was a pill capable of transforming a cultivator's constitution. Its primary purpose was to allow those who had missed the optimal age for cultivation to take this pill and set foot once more upon the path of the cultivator!
Zhao Qibing had once taken a Foundation Establishment Pill precisely in order to cultivate! This thing might seem precious, but to Wei Zhao it was a piece of junk—it even took up space in his hand!
To Wei Zhao, enhancing a cultivator's strength was simple: regardless of constitution or aptitude, as long as one could circulate the mental cultivation formula, he could instantly boost their power. So this Foundation Establishment Pill was completely useless.
"No trade for this round. You may take your own items back," Wei Zhao said, having collected his own wager.
