As the saying goes, if someone is rejoicing, someone else must be sorrowful.
Meanwhile, an old man was pacing back and forth in his room, his brows knitted into a deep frown. He walked and paused, a look of deep anxiety on his face, just like a loach that was thrown directly into a frying pan while still alive.
This man was none other than Ren Ji, the Sect Leader of Extreme Force Sect!
Initially, when Ren Ji learned that the mysterious person who killed Ji Daoshi was Yun Liao, his heart sank with a touch of despair, as it meant the chances of his revenge would be slim. The Immortal Sect with its two Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm experts was far from what his Extreme Force Sect could contend with.
Before this, his despair was limited to being unable to avenge. But now, his despair had escalated to the safety of his own life, because the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect dared to kill freely during the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, even slaying the Divine General of Jisheng Hall without fearing their retaliation.
As someone who already had a grudge with the Immortal Sect, he now felt that the next one to die would undoubtedly be himself.
Because today he encountered Yun Liao and saw Yun Liao's gaze fixed on him. The killing intent in those eyes was like a knife, thrusting brutally into his chest.
He could swear, Yun Liao definitely wanted to kill him!
Whether during the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking or after.
To survive, the only way was if the Immortal Sect ceased to exist.
Or if Yun Liao was dead.
It's now almost impossible to eradicate the Immortal Sect. Even if the Sect Leader of Red Leaf Sect truly steps into Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, he wouldn't dare to annihilate the Immortal Sect. Because the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect has reached a level that even Jisheng Hall doesn't dare provoke.
Even when Jisheng Hall's Divine General was killed, Hall Master Di Chen had to swallow his anger. How could the Sect Leader of Red Leaf Sect muster the courage to destroy the Immortal Sect?
So the Immortal Sect becoming the new overlord of the Red Domain had become inevitable, leaving only one last path to take: Yun Liao must die!
Ren Ji clapped his hands together with determination and made his decision.
He left his abode and headed to the Red Leaf Sect to seek out Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart himself.
Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, being a Domain Master's Disciple, was well known for his mission to eliminate the disciples of the Immortal Sect, so Ren Ji could only rely on him.
But he knew Ji Daoshi's capabilities. For Yun Liao to kill Ji Daoshi indicates his power is certainly not lacking, at least at the top ten level of the Red Domain.
When Ren Ji expressed his intentions to Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart remained silent for a while, scrutinizing Ren Ji, then said, "You overestimate Yun Liao of the Immortal Sect too much. What I need to do, do I need your help?"
Ren Ji bowed humbly and said, "There is something you might not know, my disciple Ji Daoshi had cultivated the Middle Grade Earth Level Vein Technique to Great Success, and his Heaven-Shaking Hammer's peak power reached the level of Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression. Yet he still perished under that magic. If my Extreme Force Sect disciples can probe Yun Liao's real capabilities and allow you to understand his magic and his trump card, it will definitely be beneficial to you without any harm."
Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart replied solemnly, "Too much trouble."
"But Yun Liao also escaped from my pursuit!" Ren Ji, finding himself unable to convince Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, could only speak of his most embarrassing incident.
Defeated Ji Daoshi, you don't care, right?
But escaped the pursuit of an Earth Unrestricted expert, surely you care?
How many experts in the Mountain Suppression Realm in this world can escape the pursuit of an Earth Unrestricted expert?
It's unheard of!
Even you, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, cannot do that, right?
Upon hearing Ren Ji's words, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's expression changed slightly, but he did not show it directly, instead mocking Ren Ji, "That's because you are useless!"
Yet after mocking, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart said, "Let your men force out his trump card with their lives. If they succeed, I'll avenge Ji Daoshi for you."
When Ren Ji heard this, he was overjoyed.
Success!
"I will make arrangements right now, even if my Extreme Force Sect disciples die in the competition, they will certainly force Yun Liao to reveal his trump card for you, Sir."
After speaking, Ren Ji hurriedly left.
Because this time, not only would he send his own disciples, but he also sought several reinforcements from forces that loathed Yun Liao.
After Ren Ji left, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart knew it was also time to arrange plans for the second round of the tournament.
Yun Liao will naturally be dealt with by him and his senior brothers. As long as Ren Ji's people can force out something, nothing will go amiss. Yet the 80 disciples from the Immortal Sect require careful planning to prevent them from slipping through the net.
80 people can be divided into 16 teams.
Each team can only be challenged five times, and they cannot refuse, so they must lose the first five times.
Hence, it is best to have five teams to monitor each team, using a rotation battle to ensure the Immortal Sect's 80 people face five consecutive losses.
Even if they can win five consecutive matches afterward, it's already too late.
Of course, they are unlikely to win five matches.
After five consecutive defeats, they will never rise again!
The opportunity to advance past the second round will be lost, let alone achieving the top hundred in the Red Domain.
"Immortal Sect, in just three months, could you possibly make them transform completely?" Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart sneered, then assembled Le Qing and others, along with many vassals of Red Leaf Sect.
Under Red Leaf Sect, there were over 300 five-star influence vassals, so assembling 80 teams was quite simple.
Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart reminded, "Most of the Immortal Sect's disciples are of Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm, the strongest being only Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression, so your people only need to be at Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression or higher. However, be sure to defeat those 80 people from the Immortal Sect, don't waste my time with incompetent ones."
Many subordinate powers of the Red Leaf Sect nodded hurriedly.
Over 300 forces gathered a total of more than one hundred teams.
These hundred or so teams were all composed of Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression experts, and were also the elites within the same realm.
With such an array, it seemed more than sufficient to obliterate the eighty people from the Immortal Sect.
