… …
Seeing his disciple self-destruct, a trace of depression and helplessness flashed across Guru Zado's face … However, he wasn't too sad. In fact, because Qin Fang was implicated by Duolun's self-destruction, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Although the Tantric Sect had suffered heavy losses, they had achieved their goal. It wasn't a waste of effort …
Among the five great sects, the Kunlun Sect was gradually declining. This year's strength was even weaker than the Tantric Sect's, and they were almost at the bottom of the rankings … For this reason, the Tantric Sect had planned to make a comeback in one fell swoop and suppress Kunlun.
However, they didn't expect Qin Fang's sudden appearance and strong rise. Not only did he reverse Kunlun's decline, he even used this as an excuse to cripple Jia Li, who had a high chance of entering the top ten, before the Five Sect Tournament even started.
This was equivalent to cutting off a very important component of Tantric Buddhism, greatly reducing the strength of Tantric Buddhism's troops.
It could be said that the Tantric Sect's hopes of making a comeback were all stifled by Qin Fang alone … This made the Tantric Sect's people hate Qin Fang to the core. Hence, Guru Zado shamelessly made some underhanded preparations.
Duolun was thus born …
Kunlun was basically relying on Qin Fang alone to take the initiative and stimulate the other disciples to perform … However, as long as they got rid of Qin Fang, the leader, the others would be completely crippled.
It was precisely because of this that Guru Zado told Duolun to use this method as a last resort to perishing together with his enemy … Therefore, Guru Zado didn't pass down the complete Blood Seal to Duolun, but the self-detonation forbidden technique of the Blood Seal!
Otherwise, the Toronto Young Master could still exchange a few blows with Qin Fang … However, he directly self-destructed now.
The Tantric Sect lost Duolun, whose strength wasn't at the top, but killed Qin Fang, who had a chance of becoming the champion. Even an idiot would know that the Tantric Sect had taken advantage of such a profitable trade … Now, it seemed to be working quite well.
However …
Just when everyone thought that Qin Fang had been implicated in Duolun's self-destruction, Qin Fang's voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone's hearts to tremble slightly. Many people's eyes were filled with disbelief.

However, under everyone's gaze, Qin Fang walked out of the smoke step by step.
His footsteps were rather heavy, and his body was somewhat bent, as if he could collapse at any time … However, he walked out slowly, one step at a time, using facts to prove … that he, Qin Fang, was still alive.
"Can we … announce the results now?"
Qin Fang walked in front of the dumbfounded referee and asked.
Even though he seemed to be in a precarious situation, and even though his clothes were in tatters, it had to be said that he had indeed survived Duolun's self-destruction!
"Announce, announce …"
The referee subconsciously replied in a daze, then slowly regained his senses. "I am now announcing … Kunlun Sect's Qin Fang!"
"At the same time, due to the Tantric Sect's violation of the rules, we will request the arbitration team to punish him …"
Of course, Duolun's actions were clearly against the rules. Even if he had already self-destructed and died, he and the sect behind him would still be punished. Otherwise, if everyone followed his example in the future, how would the Five Faction Grand Tournament continue to be held?
According to past practice, Duolun had died from self-destruction, but he was still one of the thirty people on the list. As compensation to the Kunlun Sect, Duolun's name would be removed, and a Kunlun Sect disciple would take his place!
Of course, the Kunlun Sect would also have to compensate the other three great sects …
However, this still needed to be confirmed by the arbitration team and discussed with the sect leaders of the five great sects before a final decision could be made!
"This kid … is really too surprising!"
But no matter what, Qin Fang had survived such a terrifying self-destruction. Everyone in the Kunlun Sect was extremely excited … If something really happened to Qin Fang, it would definitely be a great loss to the Kunlun Sect.
Not to mention that Qin Fang was the future of the Kunlun Sect, he was also the expert who had obtained the most points in this competition … If he died, the remaining few disciples of the Kunlun Sect would definitely be ranked last this time.
If the sect was ranked last, not only would it have a bad reputation, it would also lose a lot of resources in the distribution of the sect!
Of course, these things were only known to Old Taoist Qing Xu and the other elders of the Kunlun Sect. Qin Fang definitely did not have the right to know. Even some of the sect elders might not know this clearly …
Now Qin Fang had survived and defeated Duolun of the Esoteric Sect … Not only had he obtained the qualification for the top 6, but he had also won the right for the Kunlun Sect to take the initiative to attack. It was almost certain that the Kunlun Sect would get one more place in the competition.
Of course, Dolon had lost all four matches, so he could only be ranked at the bottom, with at most one to six points. He was not important … However, the Kunlun Sect had an extra slot to enter the Savage Barren Secret Realm, which was very beneficial to the sect.
At least, the Esoteric Sect did not have many places to enter the Little Wild Secret Realm. This time, they would lose one more place. If they wanted to rise from the bottom, they would have to wait for the next competition!
"Old guy, now you can show off …"
Seeing that Qin Fang had survived, Old Taoist Qing Xu was very complacent. He immediately grabbed Master Zado, whose face was livid, and started to ridicule him.
It was not very likely for Supreme-Level experts to fight directly, but it was very normal for them to quarrel with each other.
Master Zado was too smug before. He thought that he was sure to win and Old Taoist Qing Xu was very worried … But as soon as the result came out, Old Taoist Qing Xu immediately felt like a serf who had turned over to sing, so he started to ridicule Master Zado quite viciously.
"Humph …"
Master Zado's face was as unsightly as it could be. He gave Old Taoist Qing Xu a glare then glared fiercely at Qin Fang, who was walking down the arena step by step and seemed to be seriously injured. Then he gave a cold humph and left angrily.
Duolun had died and now the Esoteric Sect was being questioned by the arbitration group. As an elder of the Esoteric Sect, he had to go there to explain … At the same time, he also had to discuss the punishment and compensation. Of course he would not stay here.
Old Taoist Qing Xu watched him leave with cold eyes but did not hurry to go to the arbitration group. Instead, he flew up and landed beside Qin Fang.
"Brat, how are you?
Are you all right … "
He took out a small jade bottle from his body and threw it directly to Qin Fang. Then he asked with concern.
"Snowflake Dew?"
Qin Fang only pulled out the cork of the bottle and smelled it. Because of the devaluation, he knew what was inside the bottle. His face could not help changing a bit … This was the Kunlun Sect's secret medicine, which was as famous as Shaolin's Great Recovery Pill.
Because the Kunlun Sect had many experts in alchemy, it was relatively easy to make Snowflake Dew. But now the materials were scarce. This small bottle of Snowflake Dew was absolutely priceless … But Old Taoist Qing Xu gave it to Qin Fang just like that. It could be seen how much importance he attached to Qin Fang.
"Yo, brat, you're quite knowledgeable …"
Old Taoist Qing Xu was also stupefied for a while. He could not help muttering.
Qin Fang had joined the Kunlun Sect for a long time and even had not figured out many things in the sect. But he knew the name of the medicine in this jade bottle by smelling it. No wonder Old Taoist Qing Xu felt it strange … In the whole Kunlun Sect, except for those old fellows in alchemy, the number of people who could really tell the name of the Snowflake Dew was less than one hand.
"Ha-ha, originally I needed at least half a year to recuperate from my injury. But now … I'll be able to jump up and down very soon!"
Qin Fang directly hid that bottle of Snowflake Dew and said with a strange smile.
"Brat … I thought you were looking for a beating!"
How could Old Taoist Qing Xu not understand Qin Fang's thoughts? At this time, he also said with a smile … Of course, although he pretended to want to beat Qin Fang, in fact he would not do it. He was reluctant to do so.
"Bye-bye, you!"
But Qin Fang did not want to continue chatting with him. He immediately turned around and ran away … Even though he would not die, the injuries on his body were not light. He had to seize the time to recuperate so that he could deal with the crueler competition later.
"Master, actually … Qin Fang himself is an alchemist!
Moreover, his grade is not low … "
Jian Qingfeng was really shameless. He coveted Qin Fang's Snowflake Dew so he directly sold Qin Fang out …
"Oh?
Is that true? "
Old Taoist Qing Xu was slightly stupefied. He asked hurriedly with an expression of disbelief.
"It's absolutely true … I still have the medicine he gave me here. Even though its grade is not high, its quality is very good and its medicinal effect is also very strong!"
Jian Qingfeng said very decisively. At the same time, he took out a Blood Replenishing Pill from his collection and gave it to Old Taoist Qing Xu.
"Oh, the quality looks pretty good …"
Old Taoist Qing Xu took this Blood Replenishing Pill somewhat curiously. After a few simple glances, he could not help but exclaim in admiration … Even though he was not an alchemist, at his level, he had at least 800, if not 1000, medicinal pills. He could still tell the quality of the medicinal pills.
"I'll accept this medicinal pill …"
After thinking for a while, Old Taoist Qing Xu directly confiscated this Blood Replenishing Pill. He planned to go back and let the alchemist elder study it to determine Qin Fang's level of alchemy.
"This is for you …"
Of course, as the master of the Kunlun Sect, he could not take his disciple's treasure for free. He also took out a jade bottle and threw it to Jian Qingfeng as compensation.
