"Hahaha, Looks like your sect mates are smart enough to know your true face now. What, Did you expect them to team up with you and help you eliminate us? But look, now you are alone and your plan has backfired. It has turned into a sixteen vs one battle and even your cultivation is lower than us!" The Crimson Sky sect's leader disciple mocked, laughing out loud.
The sect leaders who saw this couldn't help but express their opinion:
"It seems that they didn't agree to team up with Ashen to eliminate the others after all. Well, it's good for us!" Thunder Peak Sect Leader comnted.
"But shouldn't the sect take priority for them? If they had tead up, then their sect's winning chances would only increase, right? Isn't there a saying that goes - First take care of the enemies outside before taking care of the internal conflict!?" Sword Shilla sect leader expressed his opinion on the matter.
"Well, what can you expect from Feng Xue's Sect? It is just this genius's bad luck that he chose to join the sect of disciples who couldn't even see that much, right Feng Xue?" Chen Lao taunted in a playful tone.
Feng Xue chose to remain silent, opting to not react to him as she continued to watch.
"Leave it Sect leader Chen Lao. It is good for us that they are not that intelligent. Now, Ashen will get eliminated by these foolish disciples and we can go and persuade him to join one of our sects. He will surely not want to remain in a sect where disciples are this foolish." Thunder Peak Sect Leader suggested with a smile.
And this suggestion was enough to worry Feng Xue as she turned and scolded: "No, You'll not do that. He has already joined the Phoenix Feather Sect, why are you after him even now?"
"Hahaha, calm down Feng Xue. You should also understand our feelings. A disciple with an 8-star spirit is sure to grow powerful and make a na for himself. And with his na resounding all around the world, his master's na will also beco more famous and renowned. We also want that for ourselves.
Also, with him, any sect can rise in the rankings in the future, so anyone would want him for their sect.
Additionally, It is a disciple's choice if he wants to change his sect, you can't force him to stay!" Chen Lao explained.
Feng Xue understood that these sect leaders weren't joking around and hence, said seriously: "I recognize that the disciples of my sect are in the wrong to put their own feelings above the sect's reputation. If Ashen really holds a grudge against them, I'll banish them from the sect as punishnt to show that the sect is not unjust.
If he wants to leave even then, then I'll not stop him from joining your sects but till that happens, please don't comnt about that again!"
"Alright, we hope that you'll stay true to your words" the Sword Shilla sect master comnted before returning his gaze to ring number 26.
Almost every sect leader had their eyes on Ashen's ring. This had turned interesting even for them.
anwhile, Veli cursed those disciples to gang up on Ashen: "That Muscle Head Vi Ling, Is he ntal or what? Why is he attacking Brother Ashen instead of helping him? Can't he see that Brother Ashen only planned to help him by conserving his energy to the end? Our sect would've won easily if he had just gone along with Brother Ashen's plan!"
Saying that She glanced at Ling Yun from the corner of her eye only to find out that she was looking at the scene calmly without any worry.
Why would she worry?
It wasn't like she liked Ashen, just appreciated his kindness.
At most, he will get eliminated nothing more, it wasn't like his life was in danger.
This was the reason why she would always reply to Veli's questions calmly and confidently to stop Veli from asking any more questions.
On the other hand, Veli mistook her indifference as confidence in Ashen: "Huh? She even now believes that Brother Ashen will win sohow? It is sixteen cultivators vs only brother Ashen! How can he win? Sigh... She has been blinded by her love for brother Ashen!"
anwhile, on the ring, the talks were over and it was ti for action.
All were ready to pounce at Ashen at the sa ti when they saw Ashen open his palm, his palm facing the sky as he muttered: "Co!"
Bright golden light gushed out from the middle of his palm, prompting everyone to cover their eyes to shield them from the light.
Vi Ling, who had newly joined the sect was unaware about Ashen as he asked: "What's going on? What is that skill? Is it a blinding skill?"
The female disciple, who had almost forgotten about his spirit, answered: "N-No, That's his 8-star Spirit!"
"What? 8-star Spirit?" Vi Ling shouted in disbelief, however, the light made him incapable of gazing at the spirit.
The light, from a point, transitioned into a 2 and a half ter long light, shaped in the shape of a stick.
As the light increased in length, its brightness dimd correspondingly.
Now, most of them were able to open their eyes, though squinting a bit.
Soon, in Ashen's hand rested a 2 and a half ter staff with gold bands at each end.
"Grow!" Ashen muttered softly, holding it horizontally while aiming its tip at the disciples in front.
Ruyi Jingu Bang extended rapidly with his width and length extending at rapid speed.
Vi Ling witnessed the golden end approaching him at extre velocity, increasing in circumference too.
Most disciples jumped out of the way while Vi Ling didn't have that privilege, instead, he, at the last mont conjured Phoenix Origin fist and attacked the incoming spirit.
Boom!
And as expected, he was sent flying out of the arena with the spirit extending even longer than the arena.
Like this, Vi Ling was eliminated.
"W-What?" Everyone shouted in disbelief with eyes wide open in shock and disbelief.
What just happened?
This was the question reverberating in their minds while Ashen simply ordered the spirit to co back to its original size with a smile!
