Chapter 126 Compensation

Wan Lei's injuries were getting worse and worse. He desperately used his divine sense to attack the large bell, while the Wu family youth, along with three other members of the Wu family, suppressed the bell, preventing Wan Lei from escaping.

One of Wan Lei's legs had already been broken, and he could barely stand.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried to use Thunder Escape to escape, but the other party was suppressing him, and he couldn't even release his divine sense, let alone teleport his entire body.

He had one last chance, which was to crush his identity token, but if he did, he, Wan Lei, would be out of the running for the Myriad Pride Rankings, and no major sect would look at him again.

He didn't want to crush the token until the very last moment before his death.

What's more, he still had trump cards he hadn't used.

"Stop!"

Just as Wan Lei was struggling to hold on, a loud shout came from above.

The twelve lackeys looked up, startled. They couldn't care less about attacking Wan Lei and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Clan Leader."

The twelve didn't even dare to raise their heads. They clearly heard the Liu Clan Leader's angry tone in the shout, and they also saw the gloomy faces of the three Clan Leaders.

Wan Lei raised his head and saw the three Clan Leaders, revealing a look of doubt. He didn't know what they were doing here.

However, it was true that the twelve had stopped fighting. He immediately put away his mask and took advantage of this opportunity to swallow several healing and body tempering pills to recover from his injuries.

"You three teams are really promising. As disciples of the peak power in the Central Domain, you are actually doing this kind of bullying in this fair competition. You have disgraced the three families and trampled on the honor of the Central Domain.

You... treat the rules we set as nothing. Don't you even have us in your eyes?"

The Liu Clan Leader's words made the twelve tremble like leaves.

"We wouldn't dare."

"We wouldn't dare."

"Hmph, shameful things. If you don't die this time, go back to your families and accept your punishment!"

The Liu Clan Leader glared at them hatefully, and then, his cultivation infused into his voice, his words immediately spread throughout the desert.

"Everyone, listen carefully."

The entire desert, with hundreds of thousands of people, whether they were fighting, traveling, or hiding, stopped and looked at the sky in surprise.

"The competition rules state that teams cannot exceed four people. In a battle, each side cannot exceed four people. If two teams are fighting, others must watch from the side. After the battle is over and one side loses, other teams can participate.

Today, Huo Xingyuan, Huo Fen, Liu Dekai, Wu Qing'er... twelve people surrounded Wan Lei, violating the competition rules and undermining the fairness of the competition.

Considering it's their first offense and they were not clear about the rules, they will be punished lightly, stripped of their kill count. After the competition, the twelve will return to their families to continue their punishment.

Wan Lei will be compensated with a Tianxuan Rebirth Pill.

All participants should take this as a warning. Anyone who violates the rules again will be immediately stripped of their qualification and expelled from the desert!"

After the Liu Clan Leader finished speaking, he glared at the twelve kneeling below, took out a golden pill from his storage bag, and threw it to Wan Lei.

"The competition continues."

The three Clan Leaders left, and the people from the three teams remained kneeling on the ground, still afraid to get up.

"Hahahaha."

Wan Lei laughed heartily and swallowed the pill.

He didn't think the Liu Clan Leader would harm him at this time. With hundreds of thousands of people watching outside, if Wan Lei died after taking the Liu Clan Leader's pill, the Liu family's reputation would be ruined.

Now, it was time for him to fight back.

He couldn't beat twelve people, but if they came in groups of four, he was confident he could wipe them all out.

"Everyone, who wants to be the first to die?"

In the southeastern part of the desert, a youth wearing the black robe of the Scourge looked towards the west, his eyes deep and carrying a hint of worry.

"Wan Lei, don't die so early..."

In the eastern part of the desert, a girl in a light yellow dress stood before four corpses.

"Heh, facing the siege of three teams from the Liu, Wu, and Huo families, twelve people in total, you can still survive. Wan Lei, you are worthy of a final battle with me..."

In the northern part of the desert, near the edge of the formation, a thin, dark girl, with one arm broken, covered in blood, and riddled with injuries.

The enemy in front of her was far stronger than her, but her eyes were firm and fearless.

After hearing the Liu Clan Leader's words, she tore at the enemy in front of her like a madwoman.

Outside the formation, after seeing the Liu Clan Leader and the other two enter the formation, Qi Manyao calmed down. She knew that Wan Lei was saved.

The guards still held her tightly, refusing to let go.

Of the nine leaders, the remaining six were watching the Liu Clan Leader and the others handle the matter, while the only beautiful woman was drawn to the jade pendant hanging from Qi Manyao's waist.

This only woman was naturally the Sect Leader of the Kuilian Sect, the only sect among the nine major powers that only accepted female disciples.

"Eh?"

The Kuilian Sect Leader exclaimed in surprise, and then suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the Tianji Pavilion's viewing area.

She had vaguely seen that this beautiful girl had flown from there.

She saw Mingji.

Mingji noticed her gaze, lowered her head to avoid it, and started chatting with Xuan Dan.

Xuan Dan also noticed the Kuilian Sect Leader's gaze and immediately sneered, ignoring Mingji.

The Kuilian Sect Leader saw Mingji's behavior, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and her red lips pouted slightly, a shy and angry expression flashed across her face.

"Release her."

The guard immediately released Qi Manyao, clasped his hands, and retreated.

"Come, girl, come over here."

Qi Manyao saw a beautiful woman beckoning to her, looked around blankly, and saw that there were no other "girls" around her, so she thought she must be calling her.

Qi Manyao walked over and bowed to the person in the air.

"Junior greets the Kuilian Sect Leader, and greets all the Clan Leaders and Sect Leaders."

"Come up and talk."

"Yes."

Qi Manyao obediently flew up and came to the Kuilian Sect Leader's presence.

"What's your name?"

"Junior's name is Qi Manyao, from Lanning Kingdom in the Northern Domain."

"Are you afraid?"

"What?"

Qi Manyao was stunned and looked at the beautiful young woman in front of her with incomprehension.

"I'm asking you, you disrupted the order just now and scolded us for being unfair judges. Aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"

"No."

Qi Manyao replied without thinking.

"Oh? Is it for that Wan Lei?"

"Yes, you were unfair to begin with. You didn't care when someone violated the rules, and he was almost beaten to death.

Of course, I had to stand up and protest. No matter what, even if I died, I would help him, so I'm not afraid."

"Are you and this Wan Lei... Dao companions?"

"I..."

Qi Manyao hesitated for a moment, scratching her head, seemingly deep in thought.

"We... are friends."

"Oh?"

The beautiful young woman had a playful smile on her lips.

"Then are you willing to trade your life for his?"
