chapter 5361 divine ranking battlefield
tang wan-er didn’t want to look at the faces of the higher-ups, so she handed the crystals to xiao yue, who was clenching her teeth and shooting a murderous gaze.
fearing xiao yue might explode, another retainer took the crystal and handed it up instead. as each group submitted their collected crystals, the eight assistant pavilion masters started counting them in front of everyone.
as they counted, long chen asked xiao yue and the others to properly tend to the fallen, planning to give them a proper burial when the time was right.
as xiao yue carefully put away the bodies of her fallen sisters, she wept, “big brother long chen, what did they do wrong? they were so kind, so innocent. why won’t the heavens spare us?”
“it’s our fault. we shouldn’t have chosen to run from them. we should have met them head-on,” said another retainer, who had previously supported avoiding the other groups during the competition.
guilt weighed heavily on her, and she felt responsible for their deaths.
long chen shook his head and said, “whether you retreated or charged forward, only the process would have changed, not the outcome. learn from this. constantly retreating and conceding won’t bring peace—it only brings pain. and remember, the people around you may look human, but they’re fiends in human skin. they are crueler and more devious than devils. your sisters didn’t fall to the blood devils; they died because of these fiends.”
perhaps this was the harsh reality of cultivation. wherever there were people, there was conflict. where there was conflict, there was death. and if someone didn’t kill, their enemy would kill them. no one could survive on kindness alone.
as the hidden dragon legion finished laying their sisters to rest, the counting of crystals was complete. to everyone’s shock, the hidden dragon legion ranked seventh, which seemed unbelievable.
“impossible! they definitely cheated! someone must have given them some blood devil blue crystals to inflate their numbers!” shouted qian renxue, glaring at feng xinyue.
this bitch clearly suspected them of cheating, but feng xinyue didn’t even glance at her. her focus was entirely on tang wan-er, and there was pain in her eyes. at this moment, no one else seemed to exist for her.
“nonsense. these blood devil blue crystals are fresh, with bloodstains and lingering devil energy. they can’t be fake,” said one of the vice pavilion masters, unwilling to go along with such an absurd claim.
this was just common sense. so, qian renxue didn’t even have common sense but dared to accuse a divine wind elder? she was clearly lacking brains.
even though they supported qian renxue, no one could back such an obvious falsehood. it was simply ridiculous.
“but so many of their people died,” bu qingyan cut in righteously. “that’s still a failure. as a commander, leading her team into danger and letting them die shows poor judgment. for her people to die while she survives unscathed—clearly, she used them as shields. such a person doesn’t deserve to rank among us. i propose we strip her of her divine daughter status.”
“unjust!”
“why should they be allowed to participate? anyone could gather more crystals if they were willing to sacrifice lives! i could’ve done that too!” the divine sons and daughters roared in outrage.
long chen’s fists creaked from how hard he clenched them. looking at the hidden dragon warriors, he silently told them. “remember their faces.”
though unsure of long chen’s plan, they memorized those faces, searing them into their minds.
at this moment, the roulette spun again. the next round would take place on the divine stage battlefield—a chaotic elimination-style battle arena inside the wind god sea pavilion. the battlefield was protected by a formation that would teleport anyone in mortal danger to safety, meaning no one would truly die.
this was all overseen by the wind dominion pearl, the wind god sea pavilion’s most powerful divine item. it possessed incomparable power and could predict when a person was about to die.
in other words, anyone who “died” on this battlefield wouldn’t really die. their deaths would be played out by the wind dominion pearl.
upon hearing this, the divine sons and daughters exchanged sinister smiles, glaring at the hidden dragon legion. this chaotic battlefield was clearly chosen with them in mind.
the next moment, the wind dominion pearl quivered, and long chen and the others appeared in the sky. below them, an enormous martial stage materialized.
“kill!” roared all the opposing groups in unison, charging at the hidden dragon legion.
“sisters, the time for vengeance has come. your fallen sisters are watching you. slaughter them all!” shouted long chen.
“kill!”
the hidden dragon warriors’ long-brewing killing intent erupted as they charged forward, meeting their attackers head-on.
the sixteen divine sons and daughters stood by. it seemed that they wanted to enjoy the sight of the hidden dragon warriors being killed.
just like that, blood sprayed through the air, heads flew, and limbs were severed. the brutal carnage elicited gasps of shock from both the battlefield and the spectators outside.
