Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1074: Chapter 134: Di Shen’s Unexpected Move

The two elders of Xuefeng and Moon Peak pleaded together.

Ma Zhao and Feiyue were also kowtowing continuously.

However, the miscellaneous servants and people from the other two peaks, who had learned the truth, were indignant.

The collective rage was hard to confront, and Master Wuya felt caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Yue Mubai stood up.

”Sect Leader, Ma Zhao and Feiyue have indeed made serious mistakes, but they are among the most outstanding disciples of our Lonely Moon Sea. Now with the unpredictable changes in the Ancient Battlefield, we need more top talents from the younger generation. In my opinion, as long as they can smoothly make it into the top ten in the upcoming competition, they should be allowed to redeem themselves with merits.”

His words were immediately echoed by Elder Yue and Elder Xue.

After listening, Master Wuya glanced at Ye Lingyue, noticing her cold and sarcastic gaze, and couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

”Those who would falsify charges against their peers, in such a deceitful environment like the Ancient Battlefield, would prioritize sect interests? Greed is a double-edged sword; such individuals would only put our disciples in a vulnerable position. Of course, if other disciples of Lonely Moon Sea in the Ancient Battlefield are the same, then that’s a different matter. What do you think, Yue Mubai?”

Ye Lingyue’s words made the smile on Yue Mubai’s face freeze.

A dark glint flickered in his eyes as he looked at Ye Lingyue with a gaze as cold as ice.

”How dare you? Who do you think you are to speak to Mubai like that?”

Elder Yue scolded angrily.

”Enough, let’s stop the argument. I’ve already reached a conclusion on this matter. Feiyue, Ma Zhao, you should be grateful to your Uncle Master Mubai. Without his pleading, you wouldn’t have even a sliver of a chance. I will give you one more opportunity; if you can make it into the top ten in the upcoming competition, I will temporarily suspend your punishment. However, if you don’t, you can no longer stay in Lonely Moon Sea.”

Master Wuya also felt considerable pressure; after weighing the situation, he ultimately decided to follow Yue Mubai’s suggestion.

Ye Lingyue had expected all along that Master Wuya wouldn’t punish them, so she just cast a cold glance at Ma Zhao and Hong Mingyue, then walked down from the platform.

Di Shen, observing from the side, glanced at the relieved faces of Ma Zhao and Hong Mingyue, a complicated look flashing through his eyes.

The competition for group four started, with Di Shen as one of the participants.

Those disciples up against Di Shen were all lamenting their misfortune.

Di Shen’s performance over the past two days had been overwhelmingly dominant. And now that word had spread about his breakthrough, no one dared to challenge him.

One of them, with no choice but to step up, reluctantly engaged Di Shen in the first match.

He pondered whether to concede defeat and move directly to the next round, aiming for second place in the group, but at that moment, the seemingly nonchalant Di Shen standing opposite him parted his lips slightly and uttered a few words.

”I concede.”

What?

Before the disciple could fully comprehend, Di Shen had already stepped off the platform.

On Wuya Peak, Master Wuya was stunned. Di Shen conceding, is this boy rebelling?

Losing one Qin Xiaochuan was already shameful enough, but this guy didn’t even compete and just conceded.

Another commotion broke out in the arena, and the disciples of Lonely Moon Sea were all incredibly excited.

Today’s top ten competition, truly worth the admission, as surprises emerged one after another.

Di Shen, recognized as the strongest in the fourth group, unexpectedly lost without a fight. This guy certainly has character.

”Di Shen, you’re being too reckless. You’re not doing this voluntarily to deal with Ma Zhao, are you?”

As soon as Di Shen stepped down, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but question him.

”The one who understands me best is my wife. Isn’t Yue Mubai quite arrogant, thinking he can protect Ma Zhao and Feiyue on his own? Humph, I just won’t let them have their way. One of those two must give Mu Shuang an explanation.”

Di Shen’s gaze swept across Hong Mingyue and Ma Zhao, as sharp as a knife cutting through flesh.

Ma Zhao’s expression turned ugly as he stared back at Di Xin with resentment.

Thus, with Di Shen initially conceding a round, the results of the fourth group were quickly decided.

Di Shen ranked second in the group, along with Ma Zhao, Huang Jun, and others, awaiting the tiebreaker after the other two groups finish.

The fifth group’s matches were likewise uneventful. Without Xue Xuan and with Wuyue, whose cultivation was seen through by Yue Mubai, it was all straightforward. As soon as she took the stage, her imposing presence was overwhelming.

Defeating the last participating disciple of Xuefeng and three disciples from Moon Peak, Wuyue won four consecutive matches, ultimately taking first place in the group, with a senior brother from Feng Peak taking the second spot.

After five group competitions, five contestants had entered the top ten, leaving only one group: the final result of Hong Mingyue’s sixth group.

Hong Mingyue felt anxious. She knew very well that today she must take first place in the group and must not be expelled from the sect like in Three-Life Valley.

Now, across the entire mainland, Lonely Moon Sea was her only place of refuge.

Leaving Lonely Moon Sea would render her an outcast, with nowhere to go.

Hong Mingyue took a deep breath.

Today was truly a day of adversity for Hong Mingyue.

The one she had always considered a thorn in the side, Ye Lingyue, not only was not killed by Tang Li but also defeated Wuya Peak’s participants to smoothly enter the top ten.

Things were strange, yet Hong Mingyue couldn’t pinpoint the reason.

Could it be that Ye Lingyue had recognized her?

Startled by the realization, Hong Mingyue’s heart skipped a beat.

She abruptly raised her head and looked at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue’s gaze was mocking, with a tinge of ridicule.

That look was only too familiar to Hong Mingyue. Back during the Imperial Examination, when Ye Lingyue made her lose face in front of the entire Imperial City, she displayed the same smile.

A strong sense of unease gripped Hong Mingyue, but by now, stepping off the stage was impossible.

More so, Master Wuya had already issued a final ultimatum: if she couldn’t make it into the top ten, she would be expelled from Lonely Moon Sea.

She couldn’t afford to fail; she had not achieved her aspirations nor exacted her revenge. She couldn’t be crushed by Ye Lingyue, that bastard.

She was Moon Peak’s strongest female disciple, a prodigy of Lonely Moon Sea, and she must win first place in the group.

Hong Mingyue stood firm on the stage.

The competition proceeded smoothly. After a little over half an hour, Hong Mingyue exhibited a joyful expression, having already won three consecutive rounds. The remaining opponent posed no challenge to her.

On the seats of Moon Peak, Elder Yue’s expression also relaxed a bit.

Regarding Feiyue as a disciple, Elder Yue appreciated her, setting aside personal weaknesses.

Elder Yue even considered, as long as Feiyue could establish herself in the Ancient Battlefield, Moon Peak’s lineage could be entrusted to her in the future.

Solely because Feiyue resembled Elder Yue in ambition and ruthlessness, unlike Moon Peak’s other female disciples who were indecisive and lacked decisiveness.

Yue Mubai knew his sister’s intentions, which is why he stepped in to protect Feiyue.

Moon Peak members assumed that Feiyue securing the group’s first place was inevitable...
