Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-460

That also meant that in the subsequent rounds of the competition, one win
or a loss doesn’t really count for much. Only the team with the most
accumulated points will become the champions of the Trials!

This caused a lot of added pressure to the crowd and they grew
increasingly anxious.

Soon, the City Governor’s servants began to hand out tokens to every
organization. As the Dongfang Family was in first place during the
elimination round, they got the first number, followed by the Dark Yin
Palace and the Medicine Order.

As for the Gu Family, they were in the sixth place — the last place!

When he received his number, Gu Ling’s expression turned into a
particularly ugly shade as he glared at the Dongfang Family with gloom
and ferocity.

“Hmph, that was merely an elimination round. You guys can have it! Next
time, my Gu Family will fiercely devastate your Dongfang Family! I’ll
make you understand the consequences of sheltering a person who belongs
to me!”

No matter what, he wanted to destroy the Dongfang Family in the
competition so that they would understand that he was not the kind of
person who should be provoked.

“Seeing as everyone has already received their numbers, then let the
Trials officially begin. Allow me to first introduce the teams!” The City
Governor glanced at the crowd before him and let out a dry cough, “Number
1 will go up against number 3, number 2 will go up against number 4, and
number 5 against number 6! All teams mentioned shall send one
representative to participate in the competition. Now, you may all
discuss on whom you wish to send as a representative then write it on a
piece of paper and hand it to me.”

There were three arenas in the plaza. In order to save time, all six team
members will be put through the Trials at the same time. Of course, in
order to ensure a fair match, the teams will not be allowed to know the
opposition’s chosen representative! At the same time, members who have
already competed were not allowed to enter any subsequent matches!

However, no one expected the Dongfang Family to go up against the
Medicine Order so soon.

“Guess, who do you think will win this round?”

“It goes without saying that it’s going to be the Medicine Order without
a doubt. Based on the Medicine Order’s powers, they cannot lose!”

“I think so too. The Dongfang Family cannot be compared with the Medicine
Order.”

The crowd shook their heads, obviously looking down on the Dongfang
Family.

Meanwhile, in the Dongfang Family team, Dongfang Changjin turned towards
the group and asked, “We’ll be going against the Medicine Order in the
first round. Who amongst you is willing to go first?”

“Elder, l will go.”

Hearing this, Qingyun quickly stood up and said, “I am willing to fight
the Medicine Order.”

“Alright.”

Dongfang Changjin paused in silence, then nodded her head, “Qingyun, your
powers are at the rank of a high-level Martial King. It would be safer
for you to go. Hence, you shall represent us in the match against the
Medicine Order. Furthermore, you must be careful. If you really cannot go
on, admit defeat.”

“Don’t worry, Elder. I won’t lose!”

How many years has it been?

How many years has it been where the Dongfang Family was forfeited in the
elimination round?

All of this has been due to the machinations of the Medicine Order!

Now, with great difficulty, we finally have the chance to vent our
frustrations. I will not give up!

Soon, the other teams finished choosing their respective representatives
and the eyes of the crowd slowly drew their attention to the arena.

Rongyue observed Qingyun who was making his way on to the arena and a
peculiar glint flashed across her eyes, “The Dongfang Family is sending
him? Since that’s the case, Qingling will not lose.”

…

In the arena, Qingling’s disdainful gaze swept towards the man’s face and
laughed scornfully, “Qingyun, we meet again. What? You, a warrior
vanquished by my hand, would actually have the guts to fight with me? Are
you not afraid of me beating you like a dog once again?”

Fun fact: Qingling is actually written as 轻灵, which means quick and
agile. Qingyun is written as 清云, which means clear skies. They are in
no way related to one another. 🙂
