Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 850: The Team Competition Ends

Lin Daozi sighed deeply at the end, the real situation was much more severe than his understated account. The person who merged with the Master of Blood Slaughter killed one and severely injured another from the Spirit Monster Plane, forcing them to withdraw from the competition. Following this, they launched a fierce attack on Long Jin, who, after resisting valiantly and becoming severely injured, had no choice but to withdraw. This intense battle, aside from drawing special attention from those of the Spirit Monster Plane, became merely a side note to the spectacular duel between Pei Yan and Flamel, and was overlooked in the battle arena.

Lin Daozi sighed not only because of the Spirit Monster Plane's failure but also because of their lack of trust in his side, which he found regrettable. The rich prizes of this tournament made every plane view each other as enemies, putting forth their utmost effort and vigilance, leading to even longstanding allies becoming unreliable when faced with interests. Long Jin, due to concerns over the situation, and to prevent the Immortal Palace from eliminating her to secure a spot, decided to stay away from the battlefield and watch the situation unfold.

Her thoughts weren't entirely wrong. The Magic Realm and the Immortal Palace have always been top contenders in this tournament, securing the first and second positions. She needed to compete against the mighty Cornerstone Plane, the Demon Race, and the enigmatic Blood Slaughter, and there was no guarantee that the Immortal Palace wouldn't act against her for their benefit.

But unexpectedly, the Hell Demon Race was forced to withdraw from the competition, while the Cornerstone Plane and the Magic Realm chose to fight to the end and still won. Only four teams remained in the competition! This meant that as long as she sided with the Daoist Realm, she would be protected, making the Spirit Monster Plane an immediate target for the Blood Slaughter, who needed to eliminate her to secure a spot in the top three!

They succeeded in showcasing the formidable combat power after merging with the Master of Blood Slaughter, giving the Spirit Monster Plane no time to react, eliminating them quickly, and securing a top-three spot in advance!

"Heh heh heh, you must want to kill me as quickly as possible now!" The person who merged with the Master of Blood Slaughter laughed while facing the unkind gazes from the Immortal Palace and Pei Yan.

"Report your name! Or your names!" Having met this mysterious opponent once briefly at Saraf's place, Pei Yan was even more intrigued by the opponent who was unwilling to reveal their identity. He laughed and asked as he straightened up and prepared for battle.

"I said, the time is not yet right, it's not the time for you to know my name, and the conditions for us to fight aren't mature either." The Blood Slaughter person chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I didn't expect you could really defeat the Child of Origin from the Magic Realm. Although in my eyes, they are a bunch of losers, the result was still beyond my expectations. Pei Yan, you and your sister are stronger than I anticipated, but facing you alone and the combined force of the four Children of Origin from the Daoist Realm, I am not so arrogant as to lose my mind."

As he spoke, the Blood Slaughter person shook the arm with a bracelet. Both Lin Daozi and Pei Yan understood that given the opponent's power, if he truly wanted to escape, even if they teamed up, they couldn't stop him. Seeing everyone standing still, not making a move, the Blood Slaughter person placed his hand on the bracelet and smiled, "I have already secured what we wanted by reaching the top three. I will let you compete for the first and second places. But don't be angry or anxious; we will soon have the chance to meet again in the individual competition and decide the winner then!"

After saying this, the Blood Slaughter person, just like when meeting Pei Yan earlier, was resolute and decisive, not giving the opponent any chance to refute or ridicule. He reached out and snapped the bracelet on his wrist, and watched as a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping him and taking him away. Pei Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and then looked up at Lin Daozi, who was looking at him awkwardly.

Now only their two teams remained to contend for the first and second spots. Pei Yan very tactfully raised both hands; he was tired! Really tired! Even though he appeared at ease in the series of battles up to now, the side effects of merging and the exhaustion from the battles continuously ravaged his body and mind. Facing the unscathed Immortal Palace team, he really didn't have the strength to fight anymore. The second place had reached the expected goal before the competition; he could choose to withdraw!

"Brother Lin, now only our two teams remain. I have no more strength to fight; this first place of Immortal Palace is well-deserved, and we in the Investigation Hall bow out!" Pei Yan confirmed that no other team members remained on the field, smiled at Lin Daozi, cupped his hands, and tore off his bracelet in front of him.

Thus, the Sword Discussion Competition's team event finally ended in a manner both laughable and tear-inducing. After Pei Yan pulled out of the competition, Lin Daozi and his team, who had no opponents, were also transmitted out of the competition space. The Immortal Palace team that got first place didn't feel any joy at this moment. Except for the initial nonchalant encounter between Lin Daozi and the Blood Slaughter person, the whole team was almost in a state of doing nothing. They watched others fight desperately and, at the end, effortlessly snatched the first place.

Also because of this, the full attention of the audience was not on this so-called champion team, but on Pei Yan, who slowly walked towards his team!

"You did well. For the Daoist Realm, such vanity is no longer needed. Winning to add more strength to the Immortal Palace is the most important." Sect Leader Fu Wentian of the Clear Wind Talisman Transformation Sect saw through Lin Daozi and others' thoughts and took the initiative to persuade them.

"I know!" Lin Daozi nodded as he spoke, although he said so, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. To avoid others seeing his discomposure, he turned around and asked, "Where are the Blood Slaughter people?"

"They were forcibly taken away along with the prize they were supposed to get as soon as they withdrew. It seems that the Master of Blood Slaughter was also worried that after the competition, we might make a move against his disciple." Fu Wentian said, looking up at the sky at the space rift that had not yet healed. To prevent a direct attack on their stronghold, the space barriers over the Immortal Palace and the added defensive arrays could be said to be impenetrable. This is also why the Magic Realm team consumed so much effort to break through the defensive space when participating in the competition.

This was the result even with someone summoning the Cardinal himself from the other side to intervene. Just now, the Master of Blood Slaughter could effortlessly break through this defensive space, breaking through the space barrier and eighteen layers of space defenses, taking away the Blood Slaughter person and the award in front of everyone in the Immortal Palace's elders, including himself, without anyone daring to step forward to stop them.

Recalling that terrifying aura that made one's heart shiver, Fu Wentian only felt that its momentum was even three points stronger than a Spirit Venerable in rage. Is this the enemy that they will have to face in the future?
