I Just Won't Play By The Book

“A competition?” Guan Shilan frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I heard that you’re holding a gathering of young heroes on your birthday celebration. You gather all the young heroes of the various sects in Fengzhou here. Wasn’t this a coincidence? I also planned to hold a competition and gather all the young disciples of the demonic cult to fight. Unfortunately, my Spirit Dragon Cult be as big as your Sect of Masked Moon. Thus, in order to let my underlings to practice their skills, I brought them all here. It’s a competition, right? It would be livelier if there if there are more people?”

Upon hearing this, Guan Shilan finally understood the purpose of Yin Jianghong’s visit.

He was here to cause trouble. After understanding Yin Jianghong’s intention, Guan Shilan knew that it was impossible to get rid of him easily. It was obvious that Yin Jianghong wanted to pick up a fight with them.

“I need to discuss this with the other Sect Masters.”

“No problem.” Yin Jianghong waved his hand casually. “Just discuss it. We will wait here. Of course, if you guys discuss for too long, you have to take care of our lunch.”

Guan Shi’an didn’t answer Yin Jianghong. He gathered all the Sect Masters and went to an open space to talk.

The disciples of righteous sects and demonic cult looked at each other in dismay.

It was impossible for the righteous sect disciples to not panic. All the disciples here were young. Even the elites of the various sects were still young and hadn’t experienced any big battles. Now, that they were suddenly attacked by the demonic cult’s leader. They did not know what to do at all.

“But these demonic cult’s disciples are really well-behaved…”

Jiang Beiran thought that the strangely dressed demonic cult’s disciples would say something rude, flirt with the female disciples, or humiliate them. However, they did not do anything at all. They just quietly looked at each other through a protective array.

“This leader of the demonic cult is really good at discipline his disciples, but is they still considered a demonic cult with such good discipline?”

“Hey, hey, I’m calling you guys.”

vere

Just as the disciples of the righteous sect were feeling uneasy, Yin Jianghong suddenly shouted at them. All the disciples looked at him.

Seeing all the disciples looking at him, Yin Jianghong asked, “Hey, do you guys earn spirit stone in the righteous sect?”

All the righteous sect disciples were stunned, not understanding what Yin Jianghong meant. At this time, Yin Jianghong casually grabbed a cult disciple his side and asked, “How many spirit stone can you earn in a month?”

The cult disciple immediately answered, “Reporting to Cult Master Yin, ten low tier spirit stones. If I’m lucky, I can earn fifteen spirit stones.”

“Oh, fifteen spirit stones.” Yin Jianghong nodded with satisfaction. Then, he turned to look at the righteous sect disciples and asked, “What about you?”

The righteous sect disciples standing in the front row looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Because they didn’t earn spirit stone at all!

All of them were busy cultivate every day. From time to time, there were only a few outstanding disciples who performed well could receive a few spirit stones as reward.

Fifteen low tier spirit stones a month. They could not imagine how it was like.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can tell from your expressions that you didn’t earn that much, right? Do you want to join my cult? I guarantee that you’ll earn more than him.”

Looking at Yin Jianghong’s expression, Jiang Beiran couldn’t believe that this person was actually a mystic master level expert. Why was he so down-to-earth?

Seeing that the sect disciples were all silent, Yin Jianghong continued to encourage them, “See, your weapons are really bad. Your saber is only good tier, right? It’s too shabby. All of our ordinary disciples use high tier weapons. I thought our demonic cult was already miserable enough. I didn’t expect your righteous sect to be even more miserable. No wonder you won’t even treat me to a glass of wine.”

At this time, a righteous sect disciple with a sword on his back suddenly shouted, “Humph! Who knows where you got those spirit stones!”

“Oh, he’s getting anxious.” Yin Jianghong said as he looked at that righteous sect disciple, “Our spirit stones are all earned honestly. If you don’t believe me, come to our Spirit Dragon Cult one day and try it out. I will teach you how to earn spirit stone step by step.”

“Good and evil cannot coexist! How can I go to the demonic cult!” The righteous sect disciple shouted with full of energy.

“Very good! I like a righteous little disciple like you. Alright, I’ll let the most powerful disciple in our cult fight with you. I’ll let you properly uphold justice and give that little girl a good beating. What’s the word… Oh, right, evil cannot triumph over good, right?”

After hearing this, the sect disciple replied, “Just bring it on!” “Well said!”

“Senior brother is so handsome!”

“We will definitely win!”

For a moment, under the lead of that disciple, the other sect disciples became excited. At this time, a black figure suddenly came to Yin Jianghong’s side like a ghost and said, “Elder, why did you call me?” Seeing the person who came, Yin Jianghong immediately said with a doting tone, “Oh, it’s Little Muyao. When did I call you?”

“Didn’t you just say that you wanted the most powerful person in the cult to fight them? Isn’t it me?”

“They haven’t discussed it yet. Don’t be anxious.”

“Then, who is the one that going to fight us?”

Yin Jianghong pointed at the righteous disciple and said, “The one with fair skin and a broken knife hanging on his waist.”

“Oh, it’s you.” Muyao looked at the righteous sect disciple as she said.

The righteous sect disciple was not afraid at all. He looked at her and said, “That’s right, it’s me!”

“But you look so weak.” Muyao suddenly released a burst of purple mystic energy as she said. She tilted her head and asked, “How many swords can you take?”

“Great mystic practitioner!”

The righteous disciples standing in the front row were all shocked. They could sense that the mystic energy released by the daughter of the demonic cult had already reached the great mystic practitioner’s realm. Moreover, she was a great mystic practitioner of level two and above.

“The disciples of the demonic cult are surprisingly strong…”

Jiang Beiran was also shocked. Others might not be able to sense it accurately, but with a sweep of his mind power, he knew that Muyao was already a level 3 great mystic practitioner. For young disciples, she was indeed ridiculously strong. The male sect disciple who was shocked by the great mystic practitioner first calmed his mind and then asked, “We are all young disciples under the age of 20 in this competition. Could it be that your disciples are over age?”

“Sigh, what a coincidence.” Yin Jianghong laughed and pressed on Muyao’s shoulder. “My Muyao is 18 this year. She should be a little younger than you.”

“18!” Everyone was shocked again.

An 18-year-old great mystic practitioner!?

The righteous sect disciple who was shocked again. He looked at Muyao and said, “Who knows if she is really 18.” “I am 18. Why would I lie?” Muyao tilted her head and asked.

“You…”

“Alright, Ning Jin, even if she is from the demonic cult, you can’t make wild guesses.”

At this time, the Sect Master of the Sect of Ten Direction, who had finished his discussion, walked over and reprimanded the male disciple.

“Yes, Sect Master. I admit my mistake.”

Seeing the Sect Master of the Ten Square sect coming over, Yin Jianghong straightened her body and looked at Guan Shi’an, “Sect Master Guan, have you made your decision?” Guan Shi’an walked to the front of the sect-protecting formation and looked straight at Yin Jianghong, saying, “If you want to compete, that’s fine. However, you have to abide by my rules here.”

“Fine, fine, fine. We’re in your territory, so you have the final say. Can you open the door now? I’ve been standing outside for a long time.” Guan Shi’an hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still opened the sect-protecting formation.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Sect Masters decided to settle this matter peacefully. After all, the most elite disciples of each sect were all here. It would be a great loss if anyone of them died.

Moreover, since Yin Jianghong had brought so many people here, they could not just talk him out of the way. Therefore, they could only tolerate with Yin Jianghong.

“Aiyo, old friend, it’s not easy to ask you to open the door for me.” Yin Jianghong finally walked into the formation. He made a hugging gesture to Guan Shi’an. “We haven’t seen each other for so many years! Want a hug?”

Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but want to scratch his head when he saw this scene. This demonic cult’s cult master really had a special vibe.

Guan Shi’an would never hug him. After glancing at the demonic cult’s army behind Yin Jianghong, he said, “Let’s talk outside.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Us

After about an hour, Yin Jianghong and Guan Shi’an returned to the side by side. At the same time, the demonic cult disciples behind them also followed them in. All the righteous sect disciples immediately separated from each other after seeing this and held their weapons. After all, they had interacted with these demonic cult disciples quite a few times during their quest. These people were very sinister.

However, the demonic cult disciples did not even glance at them and directly followed their own cult master inside.

“Sigh, I didn’t expect to run into such trouble all of a sudden.”

Lu Yinlong let out a long sigh and returned to the front of the group of the Sect of Returning Hearts. “From now on, you must stay by my side at all times. Don’t run around. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go.”

Following Lu Yinlong’s footsteps, the disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts walked toward the square again. However, Jiang Beiran felt that something was wrong after only a few steps. He turned around and saw that the five golden flowers had already followed behind him, beside them was a group of flower guardians.

However, Liu Zijin and the rest did not say anything. They just quietly followed behind Jiang Beiran. Ordinary people would not be able to notice anything strange. In fact, Liu Zijin and the rest only realized that they were already following behind their senior brother when they came back to their senses. After all, what had happened just now had caused them to be a little flustered. Therefore, they subconsciously moved closer to the place where they felt the most secure.

Jiang Beiran could not speed up either. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome if the five golden flowers caught up with him. Therefore, he could only send a voice transmission to Wu Qingce, “Stand next to me. Act normal.”

Wu Qingce was stunned when he heard that. Usually, his senior brother told him to keep three meters away at all times. Why did he suddenly change his mind today?

However, Wu Qingce did not think too much about it. In the name of reforming the team, he slowly walked to Jiang Beiran’s side. At the same time, there were more female disciples also surrounded him.

Ever since the Sect of True Martial incident, Wu Qingce had become the true Qing Gang in the hearts of all the disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts. In addition, there had been many such conflicts since then. It was Wu Qingce who stood up for everyone.

Therefore, all the disciples of the Sect of Returning Hearts trusted him very much now.

The reason why Jiang Beiran asked him to stand over was that it would be more natural for the five golden flowers to stand behind him.

When they returned to the large square, the demonic cult disciples had already lined up and stood neatly in front of the righteous sect disciples.

The square of the Sect of Masked Moon was really large. Even if there were hundreds more demonic cult disciples, there was still quite a bit of empty space left. On the high platform, Yin Jianghong stood beside Guan Shi’an and said with a smile, “Aiya, I told you that your sect is too big. If it were my place, it would not fit all of the disciples. They would have to line up to the foot of the mountain.”

Guan Shi’an did not respond to Yin Jianghong. Instead, he shouted to the people below, “Everyone has seen what happened. The purpose of Spirit Dragon Cult here is to compete openly with the disciples of righteous sects. Please rest assured. If these demonic cult disciples don’t follow the rules, I will definitely uphold justice for you!”

“We will obey Sect Master Guan’s order.”

“Hey, hey, hey! what are you talking about?” Yin Jianghong was immediately displeased when she heard that, “We haven’t even started fighting yet, why are you saying that we are not abiding by the rules? I was afraid that your people would not abide by the rules and break the treasure of our demonic cult.” After saying that, he turned around and shouted to a kind of demonic cult disciple, “If those righteous sect people dare to use underhanded tricks, just tell me! I’ll cripple their hands!”

“Yes, Cult Master Yin!”

“Not bad, not bad. We did stir up the atmosphere, right?” Nodding her head in satisfaction, Yin Jianghong said to Guan Shi’an, “I heard that this time, not only do you compete in martial arts, but you also compete in other talents, right?”

“It seems that Cult Master Yin came prepared?”

“Not really. The thing is that my disciples are all versatile. I can just randomly pick two of them and they could crash your disciples effortlessly. When the time comes, just don’t act shamelessly.”

“Don’t worry. As long as you abide by the rules, we will definitely compete with you in a fair and square manner.” Guan Shilan said with a smile.

“Then it’s settled. We will participate in all the competitions.” After saying that, Yin Jianghong shouted at the disciples of the demonic cult, “Are you ready? If you dare to embarrass me, I’ll give you a nice beating personally.”

“Please rest assured, master!”

Hearing this overwhelming response, Yin Jianghong nodded his head in satisfaction. He looked at Guan Shi’an again and said, “Sigh, since it’s a competition, you must have prepared a lot of reward, right?”

“Of course. As long as they get first place, there will be a reward.”

“You’ll give my disciples rewards once they get first places, right?”

Guan Shi’an’s mouth twitched, but he still answered calmly, “Of course. I told you, those who get the first prize will get a reward.”

“You said it yourself. Remember that.” After saying that, Yin Jiang Hong secretly elbowed Guan Shilan and whispered, “Hey, let me see the list of prizes first. I’m afraid that you’ll use some crooked tricks to fool my disciples.” “Bullsh*t! Am I that kind of person?!” Seeing Sect Master Guan being “tortured” to the point of swearing, Jiang Beiran felt that this demonic cult master was always good at annoying people.
