In terms of strength, I was confident that I could defeat a person in the middle stage of Glorious Memory.
It wasn't that I was arrogant, but I had a clear understanding of the Nanyang Daoist techniques.
Pure Dao energy and sharp Yin energy. The Nanyang Daoists only cultivated Yin energy. On the surface, they looked strong, but in reality, they didn't have a strong foundation and naturally had shortcomings. Even a Feng Shui master in the later stage of Glorious Memory could only perform at the early stage of Glorious Memory when their techniques were countered.
Coincidentally, among the powerful techniques that I had mastered, the Golden Light Incantation and the Pure Yang Incantation, they were extremely effective against this kind of evil Yin technique.
As for Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande, their talents were limited, and they didn't know the Pure Yang technique that countered the evil Yin technique. That was why they were defeated.
Up until now, I was the only one left from the Guangdong branch. As for the Nanyang Daoists, including the Ghost Conqueror who hadn't been defeated yet, there were four people left.
I was confident that I could defeat one of them, but four in a row … It was impossible.
Moreover, the Ghost Conqueror hadn't been defeated yet. He would definitely fight again, and I wasn't confident that I could defeat him.
After the exchange competition ended, Chairman Xu, Chen Shuhe, and the others asked us to stay back to discuss how to report to the headquarters after the exchange competition. They also asked the headquarters to recruit more people to cause trouble for the Nanyang people.
Of course, there were also people talking about how to deal with the aftermath. After all, the media was involved. No matter how the results of the exchange competition were reported, the reputation of the Guangdong branch would be ruined.
Yes, everyone had already started discussing how to deal with the aftermath. No one had any hope for me. I even heard someone sigh and say that we shouldn't have been careless in the beginning and randomly signed up. If our Shenzhen branch had sent Chairman Xu, we might have been able to fight for the last match and win to preserve our reputation.
Only Zhang Kanwen suggested that Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande talk about the Ghost Conqueror's technique so that I could prepare.
In the end, the two of them stuttered for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason. Instead, they impatiently said that since we can't win, why do such useless things?
Zhang Kanwen was enraged. He opened his mouth and said, "The two matches that the two of you fought, you lost in just a few minutes. You didn't even manage to exhaust the Ghost Conqueror.
If that wasn't the case, why didn't you have any hope of winning? "
Their faces were ashen, but they were speechless.
What Zhang Kanwen said was the truth. Moreover, he was also a director of the Headquarters. His strength was tyrannical, so they didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Kanwen. In the end, they glared at me with hatred.
Xie Chenghua said, "It was this Brother Zhou Yi who provoked the Nanyang Dao Sect. Now that they have come knocking on our door, we are no match for them in order to protect him. Is there anything wrong with that?"
He had found a fig leaf, and Liu Chuande, who was beside him, immediately echoed.
There weren't many people who could accept their failure. Their words immediately resonated with many people. At least half of the people in the hall started to complain in low voices, saying that they were the ones who brought this disaster upon themselves. If they hadn't offended the Nanyang people first, this wouldn't have happened.
Hearing their words, my heart turned cold. It was the same group of people. A few days ago, they had solemnly vowed that they wouldn't let the Nanyang people ride on our heads. Now that their skills were inferior, they forgot their heroic words and started to complain to each other.
I didn't open my mouth to speak, but the old Chen Shuhe couldn't stand it anymore. He abruptly slammed the table and stood up. With a face full of anger, he glared at Xie Chenghua and the others and said bitterly, "We lost the exchange competition, we can't lose people as well!
At the beginning, everyone said that the Nanyang Dao Sect was bullying us. How did it become that our people were in the wrong first?
Haven't we lost enough face? "
After saying that, Chen Shuhe angrily turned around and left the hall.
Originally, we were going to discuss how to get Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande to surrender. However, as soon as Chen Shuhe left, many others also left. In the end, only Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande were left. They looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
I didn't know much about black magic, but if Tong Tong woke up, with her heavenly body, it wouldn't be a problem for her to deal with the Yin attribute Demon Descending Technique.
Originally, I wanted to tell the two of them, but now it seemed unnecessary.
I smiled at them, then followed the crowd and left the hall.
After returning to the hotel, I continued to cultivate as I had done for the past few days.
No matter what others thought, I still seriously prepared for this battle.
When I got up the next morning, I organized my things and contacted Wang Yongjun, asking him to arrange for Wang Kun to drive to the Shenzhen branch and wait for me there.
After making all the preparations, I got up and went to the Shenzhen branch to meet with the others. We arrived at the venue of the friendly competition, where we would officially start the last match.
Although the situation was critical, my mind was still calm. However, this calm didn't last long. When the Nanyang Dao Sect's people arrived at the venue, I was startled when I saw them.
Not only me, but all the members of the Guangdong branch also changed their countenances. They were bewildered when they saw Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande standing in the middle of the Nanyang Dao Sect's people.
They were the presidents of the Zhuhai and Foshan branches, but they didn't come with the Guangdong branch's people. Instead, they mingled with the Nanyang Dao Sect's people. What was going on?
Before we could ask, the Ghost Raising Sect's elder, Lin Zhong, who had defeated Chen Shuhe, stood up and said with a smile, "Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande have decided to leave the Metaphysics Society and join the Tri-Spirit Sect in Malaysia. That's why they are now members of the Nanyang Dao Sect."
Hearing this, the members of the Guangdong branch were dumbfounded. They opened their eyes wide and gazed at Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande. They couldn't believe the truth in front of them.
Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande slightly turned their heads. It seemed they didn't dare to look at the people of the Guangdong branch. However, they didn't deny it from the beginning.
Chen Shuhe was the first one to stand up and scold them. The others couldn't help but curse and swear.
The Nanyang Dao Sect and the Xuan sects of the Central Plains weren't just about metaphysics, but also about race. Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande's actions weren't only betraying the Metaphysics Society, but also betraying their country!
To a race that had always been loyal and filial, it was the most unforgivable sin.
At this moment, Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande finally opened their mouths and said that they were forced to do this. They were under the influence of the black magic, and their lives were in danger. The Ghost Raising Sect had asked them to join the Nanyang Dao Sect. To save their lives, they had no choice but to do this.
Their helpless words couldn't calm people's anger. It was a bit difficult to ask the Nanyang Dao Sect to put their lives above their own. However, it wasn't like there was no room for negotiation. No matter how arrogant the Nanyang Dao Sect was, they were still in the country. It was fine if they were injured or killed during the competition. However, if they continued to harm people after the competition, the Metaphysics Society wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Before everything was clear, the two of them had rashly pledged allegiance to the Nanyang Taoist sects. It was truly disappointing.
The people of the Nanyang Dao Sect were probably laughing their heads off. Defeating the Guangdong branch wasn't a big deal, no matter how they tried to change the concept. On the contrary, they had to risk angering the Metaphysics Society. Now, two branch chairmen had betrayed the Metaphysics Society and joined them. The influence of this matter was much greater than winning the competition.
Although the Metaphysics Society would be angry, they wouldn't fall out because of this matter. Although everyone knew that this matter contained the meaning of a race's war, it was nothing more than a metaphysics war on the surface.
After this incident, the entire Guangdong branch would lose face and would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Metaphysics world.
Chen Shuhe, Zhang Kanwen, and Chairman Xu all had pale faces. They stood there and couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, Zhang Kanwen walked in front of me and asked me with a gloomy face, "Zhou Yi, if you appear today, it's very likely that you will surrender … If you surrender and lose your life, will you be like those two beasts and become a traitor in order to survive?"
I was silent for a while and finally shook my head.
I valued my life more than anything else. I was even prepared to escape after the competition when I set off this morning. However, even so, I couldn't do what Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande did.
Zhang Kanwen nodded and extended his hand to pass Zhang Wenfei's Yin Yang Yama Pen to me. He said, "Wenfei said that you don't have any offensive artifacts. This is more convenient to use, so he asked me to bring it over. You can use it."
