Long Tianming's followers clashed with Situ Beiyan's men and quickly gained an overwhelming advantage — after all, Long Tianming had six Dragon Dao Realm experts in his ranks!
"Get lost!" Long Tianming roared. The Dark Holy Dragon he had transformed into drove its palm into the Heavenly Blood Fury Dragon, sending it hurtling away.
Situ Beiyan was flung back several hundred meters. He reverted to his original form, clutching his chest as blood poured from his mouth. Unwilling to concede, he was about to charge back into the fight when a commanding voice boomed down from above: "Beiyan, you've lost. There's no need to continue!"
Situ Beiyan was consumed with frustration. So in the end, he still couldn't beat Long Tianming!
But what would become of the Yu Shen Sect's future?
The Tianwu Divine Venerable's gaze settled on Situ Beiyan. He let out a faint sigh, then swept his eyes across every disciple of the Yu Shen Sect and announced: "In this contest, Long Tianming is the victor!"
A smug smile spread across Long Tianming's face. He had won.
The thought that he would soon claim the position of Acting Sect Master of the Yu Shen Sect set his blood on fire.
Everyone was waiting for the Tianwu Divine Venerable to make it official. As the ultimate winner, Long Tianming would be bestowed supreme honor.
Those who had sided with Long Tianming were beaming with elation. From this day forward, when one man attained the Dao, even his chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven. Once Young Master Long took the seat of Acting Sect Master, they could stride through the Yu Shen Sect like they owned the place.
The Tianwu Divine Venerable scanned the crowd —
At the head of the group was a young man who could only be Nie Li.
The words were already on the Tianwu Divine Venerable's lips, but he paused.
Long Tianming felt a surge of anxiety. What was the Tianwu Divine Venerable doing? He had clearly won, yet the Divine Venerable was inexplicably dragging his feet on granting him the Acting Sect Master's seat.
Could it be that the Tianwu Divine Venerable intended to go back on his word?
At that moment, a loud shout rang out: "Wait! I haven't even competed yet — how can this be over?"
Every eye in the crowd snapped to the speaker.
"It's Nie Li!"
"Haha, Nie Li finally showed up!"
The moment they saw Nie Li,
Nie Li was finally awake!
At the thought of that,
Everyone was practically bursting with impatience.
Nie Li touched down several hundred meters in front of Long Tianming and his followers. A faint smile crossed his face. "Our Demon Alliance hasn't fought yet — so the battle isn't over!"
