Looking at Yaoyao's rapid progress, I had a higher chance of winning.
After removing the barrier, I gestured for Yaoyao to suppress her cultivation to the state she was at three days ago to prevent the chief from noticing anything wrong.
The three of us quickly flew towards the Fox King Palace. From afar, we could see many people gathered at the palace gate. They were waiting for the competition to begin.
There were many lively people in the crowd who started to guess the result of the competition.
Most of them thought that the chief would win and didn't forget to belittle Yaoyao.
It was obvious that the chief had purposely arranged for these people to create momentum for him.
If it was three days ago, I might have believed such words.
However, it was different now. Yaoyao's power was probably on par with the chief's. It was hard to predict who would win this competition.
When the people saw us rushing over, they quickly made way.
I saw that there was already an arena set up in front of the crowd. There were also dozens of chairs placed around it. It looked rather formal.
At that moment, the chief and the others had yet to appear. The chairs in front were empty.
I didn't stand on ceremony and brought everyone to their seats. I waited for the chief in silence.
After a short while, the palace gate opened and a group of people walked out. The leader was the chief.
She was still in her previous attire. However, she looked relaxed as though she had a high chance of winning this competition.
Following behind her were naturally the elders.
However, the Great Elder was also among them. As matters stood, he didn't need to hide anymore.
Looking at the situation, I didn't dare to be careless.
I glanced at the evil sacrificial spirit and asked about the chief's cultivation. She had cultivated the secret technique of the High Priest's family. She had probably improved.
The evil sacrificial spirit looked at the chief without changing his expression. "Just the peak of the Yang God Celestial Master."
Hearing his reply, I was slightly surprised.
I remembered that when I came here, the chief was only at the late stage of the Yang God Celestial Master. I didn't expect her to reach the peak in just a few days.
It seemed that the secret technique was interesting. If I didn't cultivate Dao Qi and Shaman Qi, I would also want to learn that secret technique.
Then, I asked her about Yaoyao's current cultivation.
Previously, I was busy with the journey and was worried about the competition, so I didn't ask about it.
Now that the Clan Leader's strength had improved so much, he couldn't help but feel uncertain.
The evil sacrificial spirit first looked at Yao Yao, who was next to me. His eyes seemed to be gratified. After he retracted his gaze, he said, "Slightly better."
Hearing this, I was overwhelmed with shock.
In other words, now that Yao Yao had the cultivation of a Yang God Heavenly Master, in time, she would be able to advance to the next level.
The sacrificial evil spirit might have sensed my thoughts and told me that there was more than a thin line between the Consummate Yang God Celestial Master and Ascension.
If he wanted to advance to the next rank, he would need a great opportunity.
For the Monster Clan, it was even more difficult. Whether or not Yaoyao could cross over would depend on her luck.
Even so, I was amazed by her progress.
Back then, when she was sent back to the Green Hill Country, she was only at the peak of Wisdom Glory.
After not seeing him for a few months, he was already a Yang God Celestial Master. In just three days, he was already a Perfected Yang God Celestial Master.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I definitely wouldn't have believed that Yaoyao could have such cultivation speed. Even I, who had two types of powers and a godly weapon, could only look at her back.
While we were talking, the Clan Leader and his entourage had already walked down from the palace entrance to the side of the arena.
When the clansmen behind him saw this, they immediately bowed.
Yaoyao and the Head Priest wanted to stand up, but I extended my hand to stop them.
Since things had already come to this, there was no reason to show mercy.
Seeing my action, the Clan Leader's expression darkened as she looked over.
When her gaze swept across Yaoyao, she revealed a smile, her eyes filled with disdain.
Looking at her expression, my intention of hinting Yaoyao to suppress her cultivation had been achieved.
As the saying goes, all is fair in war. Since the Clan Leader was so scheming, I could only use some tricks to deal with her.
The Great Elder was the one to host the competition. After everyone had taken their seats, he stood up and cupped his hands towards the Clan Leader.
Then, he walked in front of us and bowed. I didn't have any enmity towards this person.
As we were in different positions, the way we did things was different. His previous words and actions were under the orders of the Clan Leader.
As for his true thoughts, it wasn't hard to tell from the way he bowed to us.
As expected of someone who had lived for a thousand years. He was dependable and his vision was different from others.
He could probably tell that he had a chance of winning today's competition, so he chose not to offend either side.
Bowing to us was an expression of goodwill. I could understand his intentions.
Since he had done that, I wasn't arrogant anymore. I stood up and returned the greeting.
Yaoyao and the Head Priest did the same.
He smiled and nodded before taking large strides towards the arena.
After he stood still, the clansmen immediately quietened down and looked at the arena.
The Great Elder didn't waste any time and directly announced a few things to take note of.
Just as I had predicted, life and death in the arena is determined by fate. You can't use the power outside the arena.
As he said that, he slowly walked down the arena and returned to his seat. He nodded at the Clan Leader.
After the Clan Leader responded, he stood up and flew up the arena.
Yaoyao wanted to follow but I pulled her back.
Seeing that I was suspicious, I whispered into her ear, "You don't have to feel burdened. Just treat it as a simple competition.
If you really can't win, just jump down. I will protect you. "
Even though Yaoyao's power was slightly higher, the Clan Leader was scheming and would definitely use some underhanded means.
After she heard that, she nodded slightly and walked up with the armor removing sword.
When the Clan Leader saw the armor removing sword in Yaoyao's hand, his expression changed. He looked at me and said, "God's Envoy, if I didn't remember wrongly, that sword is your magic instrument.
Previously, the Great Elder had already said that you can't use external power. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to give her this sword. "
Seeing that she was making things difficult for me, my expression didn't change. I already had an excuse in my heart. I replied, "That sword is indeed my magic instrument.
However, when I came to Green Hill Country, I gave it to Yaoyao.
Could it be that the Lord Clan Leader wants me to give her a gift? "
After the Clan Leader heard that, his expression turned gloomy and he could only give up.
He turned to look at Yaoyao and said, "You're just a little girl in the middle stage of the Yang God Celestial Master Stage. You can't hurt me with a broken sword.
Today, I will kill you, the traitor, and turn your bones into ashes. "
Facing the Clan Leader's malicious words, Yaoyao's expression didn't change. She took a stance and was about to face the enemy.
The Clan Leader didn't delay. She shook her arms and the monstrous aura on her body surged.
With her as the center, a gust of wind swept through the entire stage.
The range of the gust grew larger and larger. It looked like it was going to affect the people below the stage.
At that moment, the evil sacrificial spirit waved his hand and drew a barrier in the air, wrapping the three of us inside.
As for the clansmen behind us, we didn't care.
The elders also used their own methods to protect themselves.
However, their expressions were extremely awkward and they looked like they were having a hard time.
The Clan Leader's means were really powerful. With just one move, he made the elders with the strength of a Celestial Master fall into such a predicament.
However, this move alone wasn't enough to hurt Yaoyao.
She held her sword in front of her chest with both hands and used her monstrous aura to wrap her body.
The Clan Leader wasn't anxious when he saw that his attack didn't work.
He slowly walked toward Yaoyao. With every step he took, his aura became stronger.
After a few steps, the gust became stronger. I couldn't see what was going on inside with my naked eyes.
Seeing that, I was a little worried.
With Yaoyao's strength, the gust couldn't hurt her. However, I was afraid that the Clan Leader would use Yaoyao's pure mind to play some tricks on her after blocking everyone's sight.
However, after three to five seconds, the gust was broken.
Yaoyao stood firmly in the same place, while the High Priest stood in front of her.
It seemed that I had worried too much. Yaoyao was really cautious.
The Clan Leader was surprised when he saw Yaoyao break his gust so easily.
However, his expression changed immediately. He stared at Yaoyao and the monstrous aura on his body increased a little.
Seeing that, I didn't dare to let Yaoyao hide her strength anymore. I hurriedly reminded her not to suppress her cultivation base.
Yaoyao didn't hesitate. She closed her eyes and her aura changed.
The Clan Leader felt Yaoyao's change. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, this wasn't enough to scare her. She took the opportunity when Yaoyao broke the seal. She quickly pounced forward. Her white furry claw aimed at Yaoyao's neck.
She was about to succeed.
At this moment, Yaoyao glared angrily. She raised her sword to block in front of her chest. Then, she moved sideways and dodged the attack.
Seeing that his attack had missed, the clan leader was visibly angrier.
Both of her hands turned into fox claws. Her eyes turned scarlet. She bared her fox teeth and was about to bite Yaoyao's body.
Yaoyao's speed was fast. She lifted her leg and kicked her waist. At the same time, she swung the Armor Dismantling Sword.
The Clan Leader had seen the power of the Armor Dismantling Sword. It was even more powerful in Yaoyao's hands. She didn't dare to take it head-on.
She hurriedly stopped and dodged to the side.
Yaoyao didn't show any mercy. She channeled her monstrous aura into the Armor Dismantling Sword and slashed in the direction where the Clan Leader dodged.
Perhaps she knew that the Sword Qi would also be dodged by the clan leader.
She seemed to have predicted it. There was wind under her feet. In a blink of an eye, she arrived at a spot.
As expected, after the Clan Leader dodged the sword, she flew to the side.
Unexpectedly, Yaoyao was already standing there.
Yaoyao swung her sword again. The Clan Leader didn't have time to react. She was hit by the sword.
My eyes brightened. It seemed that fighting with the Evil Sacrificial Spirit for the past three days had given her a lot of experience.
Although the Clan Leader was hit, it wasn't enough to hurt her.
She hurriedly stopped and dispelled the sword energy on her body.
Her scarlet eyes looked like they were about to bleed.
She didn't expect Yaoyao to have such a trick.
Of course, Clan Leader Qingqiu wouldn't just sit and wait for death.
Soon, she let out a sharp cry. Her body curled down. She no longer maintained her human form. She revealed her true form.
