Hou Yu’s movements were very fast. His movements were so smooth that it only took him about two to three seconds. The people present did not even have the time to react.

“Are you satisfied now?” He gritted his teeth and spoke. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi grinned and did not answer him.

At the same time, Qing Zhu also returned to the room. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion looked at her with worship in their eyes, which was completely different from the way they looked at Gu Xi and the other two.

Winning with such a crushing momentum… It was not something just anyone could achieve.

Not only in the room, but also in the stands of the entire arena. The crowd favorite, Zhou Nan, was defeated by an unknown woman from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Such explosive news soon spread throughout the entire Lanjiang City.

“It’s all thanks to Miss Qing Zhu that I was able to pass the qualifying round so easily.” Tang Conglin chuckled and looked at Qing Zhu in front of him.

At this moment, Qing Zhu was still calm. Compared to Zhou Nan, who had been beaten up badly, the two of them were like heaven and earth.

Qing Zhu did not give any reply to Tang Conglin’s thanks. The former was also a little embarrassed. After a few light coughs, he continued, “Since we have successfully passed the qualifying round, I need to explain the rules of the competition to you now.”

Tang Conglin’s eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and his expression gradually became serious. He said in a deep voice, “The following matches will continue in the form of drawing lots. However, this time, not one person from each sect will participate, but every single one of you will have to participate.”

“Seven people will go on stage in turn. The winner can choose to continue challenging the next participant of the opponent’s team, or choose to go off stage. As for the order of who will go on stage, it must be decided by the sect at least two hours before the official start of the competition and the final report must be made. The competition will be based on four out of seven matches. In other words, as long as we win four out of seven matches, we will be able to successfully advance to the next round.”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but fall into deep thought.

“Then what’s our order of the participants?” a moment later, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could not help but ask.

“When deciding the order of the participants, we have to try our best not to expose our overall strength.” Tang Conglin spoke in a deep voice, then his gaze fell on the high platform below again. He continued, “As for the order, it depends on who our opponents are.”

Everyone followed his line of sight and saw that the matches on the platform had already been decided one by one. As mentioned earlier, some of the weaker sects had already advanced successfully through luck.

Jiang Li’s figure once again appeared on the tall stage. He first announced the names of the sects that had passed the qualifying competition before summoning that golden light cluster once again.

Jade slips flew around within the light cluster. Soon after, they began to rapidly expand once again. Soon after, they exploded in a beautiful manner like fireworks. Numerous golden rays of light flew in all directions. One of them charged towards Gu Xi’s direction.

As they watched the golden rays of light getting closer and closer, everyone in the room could not help but hold their breaths once again. In their hearts, they were secretly praying for the blessings of the Heavens.

If they were unlucky and encountered a first-rate sect or other powerful sects, then their journey of the Grand Sect Competition might come to an end here. Even if they were lucky enough to win, they would expose too much of their strength and trump cards during the competition, and then they would be targeted by the other participating sects.

After all, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was only a Chamber of Commerce. Even though it was the largest Chamber of Commerce in the world, it was still a little weak compared to the sects that had thousands of years of heritage.

As the golden light approached, Gu Xi was also staring at it closely. However, unlike the others, his thoughts were the exact opposite of theirs.

He did not want to run into any other sects by luck. Instead, he wished he could run into the first-class sects like the Zhan Clan and the Qiankun Sect right away.

Soon, the jade slip was only a few hundred feet away from them.

Tang Conglin sucked the jade slip into his hand again. He glanced at the name of the sect carved on the jade slip, and his expression turned ugly.

Seeing this, the hearts of everyone present thumped.

As long as one was not a fool, they would naturally be able to guess the reason.

Tang Conglin showed the jade slip in front of the crowd. One by one, gazes fell on it impatiently, and everyone’s expressions turned ugly.

“It’s… The Ancient Sect…” one of the disciples swallowed his saliva and stuttered.

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

The Ancient Sect’s overall strength was among the best among the first-rate forces. Most importantly, the Ancient Sect was the first to chase after him!

“Isn’t our luck a little too bad?” another disciple said with a bitter smile, his voice full of helplessness.

Even Tong Shan and Tong Conglin, who were the leaders of the sect, dod mpt look too good at the moment, as if they had eaten a bitter gourd.

They had met the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, which was comparable to a first-rate force, in the qualifiers. Now, they had met the Ancient Sect in the second round. The Ancient Sect was a genuine first-rate force!

If it were not for the fact that the Grand Sect Competition had always been fair and without any shady plots, the two of them would have suspected that someone was secretly plotting against their Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

“The opponent is the Ancient Sect, so our order of appearance…” a disciple looked at Tong Shan and asked.

Hearing this, Tong Shan deliberated for a moment, and his gaze swept over the people in front of him before finally landing on Gu Xi. He asked, “I wonder if Young Friend Gu has any thoughts on the order of appearance this time?”

Gu Xi was first stunned when he was suddenly called out. Then, without hesitation, he gave an answer, “I don’t care about the others. I want to be the first.”

When he said this, everyone present was stunned.

Given the Ancient Sect’s strength, they would probably not be able to avoid meeting the Ancient Sect, but Gu Xi actually went up to greet them? He looked as if he was impatient to fight them… Was there something wrong with his brain?

However, Tong Shan and Tang Conglin did not reject Gu Xi’s suggestion. It should be known that the first participant to go on stage was very important, because his or her performance would greatly affect the morale of the entire team.
