My Master Knows It All

Capítulo 1972: Chapter 428_5

“Elder Xi Mu, and the people from Ten Thousand Immortals Peak.”

“A presence from the True Immortal Realm has arrived too!”

Immortal Lord Xi Mu was not originally an elder of the Hundred Peaks Sect, but after Cao Zhen mentioned it casually one day, she became one.

Since even the Sect Hierarch called her an elder, if they didn’t give her the title, it wouldn’t be justifiable.

She had no choice but to accept it, because if she didn’t and people said their Sect Hierarch spoke carelessly, calling someone who wasn’t an elder an elder, it would affect the reputation of their Sect Hierarch and the Hundred Peaks Sect.

As everyone marveled at the arrival of the presence from the True Immortal Realm, six figures flew in from the void — the side of the Extreme Formation Sect, including the Sect Master and Supreme Elder, arrived in succession.

If the duel had been three days earlier without giving it time to ferment, perhaps it wouldn’t have created such a stir.

But within these three days, members of the two great sects frantically placed bets on each other, and the influence grew bigger and bigger. Every disciple in both sects, even the Taoist boys of the Hundred Peaks Sect, heard about it.

As the Sect Master of the Extreme Formation Sect, after learning that their sect kept losing, they came as well. They wanted to see what would happen after three days of formation setup, when their disciple faced their opponent, surely they couldn’t lose again.

On the side of the Extreme Formation Sect, Liu Zhen and others turned heavy-faced as they looked at the incoming Sect Master and Supreme Elder.

Liu Zhen glanced at Chess Formation Uncle-Master and, seeing that the Uncle-Master had no intention of speaking, took the initiative to say, “Uncle-Master, fellow apprentice brothers, the Sect Master and Supreme Elder are all here. Other than the Sect Hierarch of the Hundred Peaks Sect, all the top figures and experts from both great sects are present. We’ve already lost repeatedly before, and if we lose again this time, it will be a massive disgrace!”

“So, in a little while, we all must use all our strength. This time, no matter what, we can’t lose again.”

“Senior Brother, this time we set up the formation in advance. Although it’s only been three days, it’s enough.”

“Yes, and with Uncle-Master’s intervention, we’re sure to win. Maybe we should send Uncle-Master in the first match? Win directly, and there’s no need for the rest.”

As soon as someone voiced this idea, Liu Zhen immediately shook his head, saying, “It’s more secure to let Uncle-Master come in last. What if the other side is not convinced after we win and challenges us again? You all saw that person from before, Xiang Ziyu, right? He’s a super genius with an Immortal Mountain reaching 490 zhang.

If Uncle-Master fought and was then exhausted or the formation was damaged, facing Xiang Ziyu after that would be dangerous. So, we must let Uncle-Master go last and cover for us.

The first battle…”

Liu Zhen’s gaze swept over everyone and finally, in a low voice, said, “Let me take the first battle.”

Among the group, aside from Uncle-Master, he was the strongest. If he won, there’d be no need for his fellow junior brothers to fight. It would also prove that their initial losses were due to not having set up the formation.

Look at now, given time to set up formations, they could immediately win, thus salvaging a bit from previous failures.

All around, the crowd burst into laughter, jeering, “Senior Brother, you’re not giving us a chance to showcase.”

“Yeah, Senior Brother, did you want to be the first one up because you saw the Sect Master and Supreme Elder here and wanted to show off?”

“Nonsense, am I that kind of person? Alright, stop talking. The opponent has arrived, the time is about right, and we should start.”

As Liu Zhen spoke, he flew out from among them.

On the side of the Hundred Peaks Sect, seeing someone from the opposing side fly out, Ling Xi also followed suit and flew out.

Instantly, Liu Zhen’s voice sounded, “Dao Companion Ling Xi, the time has come, shall we begin the duel now?”

“Alright.” Ling Xi responded with a solemn nod. She represented the Hundred Peaks Sect, and though she didn’t say it, she took this battle very seriously since her fellow junior brothers and sisters already won.

As her words fell, streams of immortal energy began to surge within her.

Seeing the other side gathering their aura, Liu Zhen hurriedly spoke, “Wait a moment, let’s change places to fight.”

As he spoke with slight embarrassment, they were supposed to duel here, but the issue was that they had set up formations with six people, and obviously their formations couldn’t all be in the same place. Here was where his Chess Formation Uncle-Master set up the formation.

“Over there.” Liu Zhen pointed to the place where he set the formation and said, “Let’s go fight there.”

Ling Xi nodded slightly without uttering more and flew directly towards the direction Liu Zhen indicated. She knew they had set up formations, and the place he mentioned was naturally where they had set their formation.

In the distance, in the void, Immortal Lord Jue Zhen listened to Liu Zhen’s words and helplessly shook his head, saying, “This is our problem. If it were not a spar but a real fight, no one outside would listen to us and follow us to where we set up our formations for combat.”
