The Holy Lands could not afford to lose!
As the onlookers began to stir, the representatives of the major Holy Lands couldn't sit still.
The first to step forward was a dignitary from the "Tianji Holy Land."
This dignitary, with his square, righteous face, declared loudly.
"The outcome is decided and indisputable. The victors are Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong, and Yun Zhaozhao!"
With the "Tianji Holy Land" speaking, the dignitaries from the "Tianchi Holy Land," "Tianxin Holy Land," and "Tianxing Holy Land" also came forward to express their stance.
"Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong, and Yun Zhaozhao, the three of them have won!"
The situation was settled!
The representative of the "Tianlong Holy Land," his old face ashen, exuded immense killing intent, seemingly on the verge of an outburst.
This time, their "Tianlong Holy Land" had lost face in a big way!
The mighty "Tianlong Trio" had actually lost to mere country bumpkins from the obscure "Donghuang Mountain Range"!
How could the usually overbearing "Tianlong Holy Land" tolerate this?
Hmph!
The dignitary from the "Tianlong Holy Land" snorted coldly, stood up abruptly, his killing intent soaring to its peak.
His gaze was ferocious, like a venomous snake about to strike, glinting with cold light, fixed on Yun Tianzhong and the other two.
"Fellow Daoist Heilong, the outcome is decided, please take a seat!"
The cultivator with the square, righteous face from the "Tianji Holy Land" moved, blocking the path of the "Tianlong Holy Land" dignitary. This action was equivalent to protecting Yun Tianzhong and the others.
The cold light in the eyes of the "Tianlong Holy Land" dignitary flickered several times. He said chillingly.
"Good, good, very good!"
With that, he flicked his sleeve and left!
The cultivator with the square, righteous face from "Tianji Holy Land" let out a long sigh of relief, a helpless sigh in his heart.
Alas!
He didn't want to make an enemy of the "Tianlong Holy Land." Everyone knew how overbearing and vengeful the "Tianlong Holy Land" was. Offending them led to no good.
However, this was the scene of the "Hidden Dragon Ranking Selection Assembly," with countless cultivators watching. If they allowed the "Tianlong Holy Land" to act out, to disrupt the order of the assembly, what would become of the "Tianji Holy Land's" reputation?
With Elder Heilong of the "Tianlong Holy Land" storming off in a rage, the atmosphere at the scene became very subtle.
During the subsequent matches, everyone was clearly absent-minded.
Whether it was the referees, the contestants, or the onlookers, everyone was thinking about other matters, and the quality of the matches plummeted…
After a few rounds, everyone had lost interest. They decided to wrap things up hastily for today and continue tomorrow!
At this moment, everyone was focused on the same question.
How would the "Tianlong Holy Land" retaliate?
Everyone knew that the "Tianlong Holy Land" was overbearing, narrow-minded, and vengeful. They would not swallow this humiliation silently. They would definitely deal with Yun Tianzhong and the others. The crucial question was, how would they act?
In this regard, Yun Tianzhong and the others remained calm.
What was there to fear?
They had won fair and square, well… perhaps not entirely "fair." The despicable "sneak attack" by the little spirit monkey king was too "cowardly"!
If the "Tianlong Trio" hadn't been caught off guard, they wouldn't have been so vulnerable!
The eldest of the "Tianlong Trio," Long Feng, possessed the domineering and fierce "Dragon Subduing Divine Skill," with explosive combat power!
The second of the "Tianlong Trio," Long Yu, with his "Flowing Waves Evasive Technique," had unparalleled speed and his "Invisible Sword Qi" was sharp and peerless. He was a super strong contestant with both offensive and defensive capabilities!
The third of the "Tianlong Trio," Long Zhu, had exceptional talent and was skilled in Buddhist divine abilities, making him incredibly formidable!
The combined might of these three had pushed their combat power to a higher level!
In a head-on confrontation, the monkey might not have truly been their opponent!
However, there was no point in discussing this anymore. The monkey would never foolishly engage in a "frontal assault." It had learned the essence of a certain individual and would "cowardly" avoid direct conflict whenever possible!
"Xiao Ling, your fighting style just now was truly…"
Yun Tianzhong looked helplessly at the little spirit monkey king, unable to express his feelings!
Although they had won, and won with ease, he felt as though their victory was not honorable!
Yun Tianzhong's naturally upright character made it difficult for him to accept such a "cowardly victory"!
The monkey rolled its eyes and sneered dismissively.
Pedantic!
Victory is victory, and a "cowardly victory" is still a victory!
At this moment, the "lean black demon soul" residing in Yun Tiankong's dantian jumped out to make its presence known.
"You little sly foxes, you're in big trouble! You beat up the Tianlong Trio, and the Tianlong Holy Land won't let you off the hook. You should run away tonight!"
Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong, and Yun Zhaozhao exchanged glances.
They were all calm, with no fear in their hearts.
What was there to fear?
What could the mere "Tianlong Holy Land" do to them?
After all, they had that man, the senior, behind them!
With the senior there, they feared nothing!
In a distant mountain cave, a man silently hugged himself.
"Yun family youngsters, don't be so confident, okay? I'm so scared!"
…
The next day, the eagerly awaited outcome was revealed.
To everyone's surprise, the "Tianlong Holy Land" did not directly retaliate against Yun Tianzhong and the others. Instead, they adopted an "official approach."
Modifying the rules!
That's right, the five Holy Lands, or more accurately, the "Tianlong Holy Land," had once again revised the competition rules.
This time, the rule modification was somewhat complex.
First, there was the "ranking match."
The original "ranking match" was the "grand finals," directly determining the top one hundred contestants.
But now, it was different. The "ranking match" had become an entry ticket to the "grand finals."
As long as your team was among the top thirty, you would successfully enter the "grand finals."
A team consisted of three people, so the top thirty teams meant a total of ninety people.
Someone noticed a problem and exclaimed, "Wait, the 'grand finals' should have one hundred participants!"
Alright, here comes the second innovative competition mechanism: the "revival match"!
That's right, it was a match for the defeated teams to compete again, with the top four "defeated teams" successfully revived and entering the "grand finals"!
Shameless!
Everyone cursed in their hearts!
The "Tianlong Holy Land" was utterly shameless. These rule changes were tailor-made for the "Tianlong Trio."
What "revival match"? Bullshit! It was simply to allow the "Tianlong Trio" to compete again.
Too shameless!
However, everyone soon realized that this was just the beginning. Shameless? There was no most shameless, only more shameless!
Something even more shameless happened. The organizing committee announced that due to significant changes in the competition rules, the competition would be temporarily suspended for three months to give everyone time to adapt and adjust.
Shameless to the extreme!
No one else needed time to adapt and adjust, only the "Tianlong Trio" did. They needed three months to recover from their physical and psychological trauma!
Cheating to this extent was truly unprecedented!
But there was nothing anyone could do. Who could go against the mighty Holy Lands? Their slender arms couldn't twist thick thighs.
So be it with the rule changes!
So be it with the three-month suspension!
As long as you are happy!
Everyone's indignation transformed into fervent admiration for the "Lucky Squad."
Over the next three months, Yun Tianzhong, Yun Tiankong, Yun Zhaozhao, and the little spirit monkey king, became highly sought-after "internet celebrities," objects of adoration!
