Overriding the Heaven

Only now did they realize that they had missed this step.    

Everyone was paying attention to the second round of the tournament that Lian Yongzhi had not told them about, but they had forgotten to pay attention to who their opponent for the first round was.    

If he wanted to enter the second round and eliminate his opponent in the first round, that was the prerequisite.    

"May I ask Incorruptible Elder which sect our first opponent is?" Li Xiu cupped his hands and asked.    

Lian Yongzhi looked around at the crowd, then chuckled: "The current Orthodoxy, Tianxuan Divine Palace's master — — Blue Feather Sect."    

In the blink of an eye, the entire place was deathly silent.    

Lian Yongzhi had expected this reaction.    

Although his ardent fighting spirit as the vice division master of Shattered Star Pavilion's battle department had never faded, he had to admit that Blue Feather Sect was an opponent that none of the five sects wanted to face in the first round.    

They were faintly at the top of the six sects, and this Tianxuan Divine Palace even belonged to the Blue Feather Sect s. In other words, this tournament would be held at the Blue Feather Sect's home grounds.    

If any of them were to meet them, it would definitely be a disaster.    

These nine disciples did not belong to the fighting division, so Lian Yongzhi could not use the standard of treating the fighting division disciples to request for them.    

Furthermore, Lian Yongzhi also understood that if he met with such an opponent in the first round, it would be a huge blow to this group of disciples who wanted to make a name for themselves in this session of General Election of the Orthodoxy.    

After a moment of silence, Lian Yongzhi moved his lips, wanting to say some comforting words that he was not good at.    

But just then, Su Jianyuan suddenly roared out: "Great!"    

"Hmm?" Lian Yongzhi instantly thought that he had heard wrongly.    

In the next moment, he noticed that out of the nine disciples before him, almost all of them were smiling. Even Shen Qing, who usually didn't reveal any expression, had a glow in her eyes.    

The silent scene instantly boiled up like boiling water.    

Following that, a roar that Lian Yongzhi could not understand rang out one after another.    

"Awesome! This is the best news I've heard recently! " Fan Cheng slapped his hands together.    

"Hahahaha, I finally got the chance. I want to see what else those guys have to say. If they want to say something then they have to say it as early as possible. Otherwise, when the time comes, they won't be able to say anything!" Shen Ruihang clenched his fists and laughed sinisterly.    

"Hmph, to make them so proud, this time we finally have a chance to directly teach them a lesson." Jiang Chengxin laughed, looking like he was rubbing his hands together.    

"I can't wait." Xu Shi pursed her lips and smiled at Jiang Panmeng.    

For a moment, the scene was filled with a joyous atmosphere.    

Lian Yongzhi blinked his eyes, looking at the disciples in front of him, he had a feeling that this group of people would be opponents that he could defeat just by blowing on his breath.    

This was the first time in his life that Incorruptible Elder, who had the name of resolute determination, had a sense of uncertainty.    

After some hesitation, he repeated, "Our opponent is the Blue Feather Sect."    

"He is beating up the Blue Feather Sect!" "Don't worry, Incorruptible Elder, we will definitely go all out and charge into the second round!"    

Seeing that this group of people looked like they were possessed, Lian Yongzhi couldn't understand what was happening.    

His gaze swept past everyone one by one, and finally landed on Chu Yan's body.    

Out of the nine disciples present, the only one who looked normal was Chu Yan.    

Seeing Lian Yongzhi's questioning gaze, Chu Yan smiled, "A cultivator's struggle is to get a sense of injustice from his heart. We will definitely make everyone change their opinion of Shattered Star Pavilion."    

In terms of realm, Chu Yan was not the highest among everyone present, but in terms of status, he was the disciple in charge, so his words naturally carried the most weight.    

Now that he heard Chu Yan's words, Lian Yongzhi immediately understood. The nine disciples had probably already met with the disciples of the Blue Feather Sect, and were probably provoked by them. That was why they were so excited about encountering the Blue Feather Sect in the first round.    

Having the will to fight was naturally a good thing, and as a member of the War Department, what Lian Yongzhi admired the most was the indomitable spirit of the disciples in the sect. Now that he understood what was going on, his heart was suddenly filled with a sense of pride, "After seven days, I will wait for your performance!"    

"Please rest assured Incorruptible Elder, we will definitely live up to the expectations of the sect!" The nine people clasped their fists and said in a clear voice.    

Although the first round's opponent was Blue Feather Sect, which made everyone excited, Chu Yan and the others knew that this was a formidable opponent.    

Amongst the Six Major Sects, Shattered Star Pavilion's fighting strength was publicly recognized as the weakest, and in the past few decades, Blue Feather Sect had already faintly surpassed the other five sects, including Beast King Pavilion, and was ranked first in terms of fighting strength.    

Therefore, this was a match between the last and positive first in Yunao Kingdom.    

At this moment, the other four sects were probably lamenting how the Blue Feather Sect had drawn a good stick. Other than Chu Yan and the rest, even the deacons of the Shattered Star Pavilion s did not say anything when they heard this news.    

Almost everyone felt that Shattered Star Pavilion would lose without any suspense this time.    

"We won't lose!"    

After bidding farewell to Lian Yongzhi, they walked out of the hall and gathered in a circle in the courtyard outside. Each of them extended a hand and folded it.    

"We must shock everyone!"    

"Shattered Star Pavilion has been weakened for many years. This time, we will break this rule!"    

"You have to win!"    

Chu Yan looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were shining.    

The General Election of the Orthodoxy would officially begin tomorrow, but the first round of the competition would begin seven days later.    

In other words, everyone still had seven days to prepare.    

Although there were no rules, everyone automatically decided to go back to their own room to meditate and cultivate. Even if there were no obvious improvements, they had to master the martial arts techniques to their best condition.    

Chu Yan returned to his room, but before he even pushed open the door, he heard soft footsteps approaching from behind him.    

"I guessed you'd come looking for me." Chu Yan turned around and smiled as he saw Shen Qing who was not far away.    

At this moment, Shen Qing's usually calm eyes revealed a hint of resolution and desire.    

She looked at Chu Yan and said softly, "There are still seven days. Teacher, I think — become stronger."    

The last four words were filled with incomparable resolution.    

Sensing Shen Qing's attitude, a moment later, Chu Yan nodded his head, "Looks like I'm very satisfied that you didn't relax during the half a year I was gone. Since that's the case, come in."    

To other cultivators, wanting to raise their strength in seven days was a bit too harsh.    

But Chu Yan was different. He had a way to extend the time.    

Now that Shen Qing had made this request, Chu Yan naturally wanted to help this disciple whose will was so firm that it didn't resemble a woman make another breakthrough.
