225 Trap by the Sect of Enlightenment?

"Are you stupid? There's no way we can let a Qi Celestial enter the competition!"

"Yes! With everyone being Qi Saints and Qi Emperors, a Qi Celestial would single-handedly defeat all of them!"

"So what? It isn't Bai Long's fault that your juniors are all useless trash cultivators."

"What did you say? He... "

Shrugging her shoulders, Lifen looked towards Jian Shen who was listening to what the Grand Elders of all the forces were debating about.

Since Bai Long had entered the Qi Celestial Realm while the one with the next most gains was only in the Qi Emperor Realm, the other forces weren't willing to let him enter the competition.

Doing so would just mean allowing the Divine Night Sect to enjoy a free win.

But, it wasn't as if they could directly just reject Bai Long's right to join the competition when he had entered the Treasure Lands just like everyone else did.

This was why a decision hadn't been made even when there was only one day left before the competition would be started.

Listening to all of this Bai Long asked, "Will they let me compete if you promise that none of the other members from the Divine Night Sect would join?"

Tilting her head in confusion, Lifen was about to say something when Bai Long spoke with a smile on his face, "No one that enters the competition with me will walk out alive."

Blinking her eyes in surprise Lifen also widely smiled and transmitted their thoughts to only the Grand Elder of the Divine Night Sect.

Hearing these words, the old man also smiled and quickly made everyone agree to allow Bai Long to enter the competition as long as no one else from the Divine Night Sect would join.

After all, even if Bai Long was a Qi Celestial it didn't guarantee that he'd be able to win.

Since everyone could just throw away the tokens they possessed if they wanted to escape that place, it wasn't as if they needed to be scared of their members dying or being injured too much.

This was also the same concern that the Grand Elder had when making the others agree, but he chose to just do this because it was something that the granddaughter of the First Grand Elder wanted him to do.

Also, he had been totally shocked and impressed by Bai Long who created a miracle by entering the Qi Celestial Realm in just three years.

Therefore, he both wanted to see what it was that Bai Long would do as well as get on the good side of someone who was guaranteed to become a big deal.

Like this, Bai Long was officially given the rights to participate in the competition.

...

"So, have you decided what it is that you'll ask for when you win?"

"You said that I can ask for anything right?"

"Yup."

As Lifen nodded her head, Bai Long smiled and asked, "Can I ask for the Empress of the Ice Phoenix Empire to become my slave?"

Rolling her eyes with obvious disdain, Lifen said, "You can't even ask for her hand in marriage and you want her to become your slave?"

Not saying anything and just smiling, Bai Long felt even more curious to see what this woman who was praised as the most beautiful woman in the world looked like.

Walking forward and placing his hand on the crystal ball which contained the separate world the contestants would be entering, Bai Long turned out to be the first one to enter this place.

Following him the others also didn't waste time in doing the same as everyone one by one entered the separate world.

This was also when the Elders of the Sect of Enlightenment brought out huge mirrors to start showing what was happening inside the separate world.

After all, they were the ones who owned the crystal ball that continued the separate world due to which they would be the hosts of this competition every year.

And it wasn't as if they were doing this for free or out of the goodness of their heart either.

Every force that wanted their members to take part in the competition had to pay a hefty fee to allow their members to enter the separate world.

But, unlike it happened every time, the huge mirrors didn't light up and start to show the various locations inside the separate world.

Rather, they just remained in the same way as if they weren't any treasures and only ordinary mirrors.

"What is happening?"

"You idiots don't know how to use your own treasures? Hahahahaha.…"

In the beginning few minutes everyone just made fun of the members of the Sect of Enlightenment by calling them incompetent.

But as the same situation continued happening for a few hours, everyone turned nervous and began glaring daggers towards those from the Sect of Enlightenment.

As everyone knew better than the ordinary people that live on the Mainland, they knew that the Sect of Enlightenment wasn't any true righteous Sect.

This was why they all started thinking that these hypocrites were doing something in the shadows to harm all of their prodigies that entered the separate world.

"What is the Sect of Enlightenment doing? If something happens to anyone from my Thunder Sword Palace, there will be hell to pay!"

"The same goes for us as well!"

"If all of this is just a ruse to harm Bai Long, the Divine Night Sect definitely won't allow anyone of you from the Sect of Enlightenment to continue living!"

Behaving very ferociously when she was grinning like a fool on the inside because Bai Long had already said that this would happen, Lifen felt that when the time for the crystal ball to open and send everyone inside it out came, it would only be Bai Long who would come out alive.

As for why the crystal ball couldn't be controlled to send everyone outside right away, it didn't have anything to do with Bai Long and it was just this was that the crystal ball had been created.

It could only be opened once every month to allow those on the outside to enter it. As for those inside, they could leave whenever they chose to by discarding the token.

But Lifen didn't think anyone would be able to come outside due to how confident Bai Long seemed.
