Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

In the realm of Zhongzhou.

The central zone of a massive island.

Over a hundred people stood on this vacant land designated for the grand competition of numerous sects, some manipulating objects to fly, some standing in the air, and some calmly on the ground.

But on the whole, these hundred or so people were divided into three camps.

One side was primarily composed of Holy Land Disciples, another mainly of Disciples from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect, along with four disciples from the Wayless Sect.

However, as things stood at the moment.

It was evident that the Holy Land Disciples and the Disciples of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect both wanted to join forces to first eliminate the disciples of the Wayless Sect.

None were sure they could beat the disciples of the Wayless Sect in one-on-one combat.

But a free-for-all was different.

Two fists have a hard time fighting against four hands.

The strategy was to eliminate the four disciples of the Wayless Sect first, then worry about other rankings.

That's how most people were thinking.

Ye Luo and the other three disciples from the Wayless Sect were also aware of these other competitors' intentions, but they held no fear.

Just as others could join forces, so could they, the four of them together.

The outcome of who would win and who would lose was still unknown.

At this very moment.

Ye Luo and the other three stood there very calmly, quietly waiting for the duel to begin.

Only, they were secretly communicating via whispered messages, exchanging thoughts among themselves.

"Number Two, once the duel starts, you begin setting up the formation. And you too, Fourth Sister, use your Chess Path to suppress them right away. Don't worry about safety; I'll protect you," Ye Luo whispered.

"Okay."

"Understood, Big Brother."

Zhang Han and Dantai Luo Xue both nodded in agreement.

"What about me then, Big Brother?"

Su Qianyuan asked repeatedly.

"You...you see how things go and then make your move," Ye Luo said thoughtfully after a pause.

Su Qianyuan was momentarily taken aback. How was this any different from having no task at all...

He was about to add something more.

Suddenly, a deacon came flying in on his sword.

"The duel begins!!"

The deacon quickly announced.

After saying this,

he hastily fled towards the outside, fearing getting caught in the upcoming battle.

The deacon's words reached the ears of the hundred or so people.

Almost instantly, everyone moved, ready to make the first strike.

But before they could act, Taiyin Star suddenly appeared overhead, and beams of moonlight shone down, enveloping the battleground.

The next instant, numerous Great Formations rose, launching a ferocious attack on the many disciples from both the Holy Land and the Hidden Sect.

Zhang Han stood midair, surrounded by a glowing aura, looking like a deity, and with a mere gesture, multiple Great Formations were erected.

Under the assault of his formations, the numerous Holy Land Disciples were thrown into disarray.

"Retreat!!!"

"Who's that from Xuan Zhan Gate? Afei? Where the hell are you retreating to? Wake up; this isn't your Secret Realm trial. Stop using your 'retreat at the sight of anyone' tactic from your trials!"

"Hurry! Concentrate our power on one point to break these formations. We have the numbers; don't be afraid!!"

The many Holy Land Disciples tried to pool their strength together to attack at one point and shatter each of the formations.

Yet before the Holy Land Disciples could take action,

golden patterns unknown when started spreading from the distance, rapidly extending towards them.

It was just a brief encounter.

Golden patterns sprawled across the entire clearing turned battlefield.

The disciples of the Holy Land couldn't keep up with the pace; they hadn't even attacked the Great Formation before the golden patterns had already spread over to them.

Seeing this, the disciples of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects no longer held back and stepped forward in succession.

"All of you, stand back. These are not something you can break through," one of them said as he stepped forward, holding an ancient Divine Sword, the terrifying power of the Spiritual Treasure instantly rising.

The other disciples of the Hidden Sects followed suit, each taking out various types of Spiritual Treasures.

Most of their Spiritual Treasures were of superior quality, with only a small number being middle-grade or lower-grade, but all were spiritual treasures nonetheless.

Almost every disciple from the several Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou had a Spiritual Treasure.

Only a few disciples from the Zhenxian Sect were dumbfounded by what they saw.

Why did everyone have a Spiritual Treasure and they didn't?

Had the Zhenxian Sect really fallen from grace??

While these few disciples were in a daze,

the golden patterns permeated the entire clearing and then burst forth into dazzling light.

Beneath the glow of the golden patterns,

the clearing was isolated from the outside world. Walls rose on all sides as the golden patterns seemed to turn into the lines of a chessboard, and the walls appeared to set the four sides of a chessboard in place.

Within the chessboard, Dantai Luo Xue stepped forward and positioned herself in the very center, her aura surging as if she were the lord of her own realm, looking down upon the many disciples of the Holy Lands and the Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou.

Under her gaze,

the disciples of the Holy Lands and the Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou all felt a sense of rejection.

It was as if the heavens and earth were expelling foreign entities, and they had become those entities.

Under this feeling, their combat strength and mental state were almost completely suppressed.

"What an awful feeling, as if we've been abandoned by the heavens..."

"This must be that maneuver from the Wayless Sect, the one who uses chess; but how can a human perform such a move? Even channeling mana has become so much more difficult..."

"Our Magical Treasures are being suppressed!"

"How are we supposed to fight? With so many formations and this damnable chessboard thing, we can't even start a proper fight!"

Many disciples of the Holy Lands felt somewhat desperate.

They could clearly sense the huge gap between them.

This gap nearly made them give up the idea of eliminating the disciples of the Wayless Sect first.

That's what the disciples of the Holy Lands were thinking.

But some of the disciples of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects were still full of fighting spirit.

"Defeat the one controlling the chessboard first! Otherwise, we're all being suppressed. First, we'll shatter this thing that's like the chessboard, and then we'll break the formations!"

Someone stood up and voiced this strategy loudly.

Hearing this,

the disciples of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects no longer hesitated and chose to act, unleashing various spells to attack Dantai Luo Xue.

Boom...

These attacks never reached Dantai Luo Xue; they were intercepted by the Sword Qi of Ye Luo.

Spells and Sword Qi collided in mid-air, sending out terrifying ripples in all directions.

Ye Luo stood on his Flying Sword next to Dantai Luo Xue, his gaze indifferent.

The message couldn't be clearer.

If they wanted to touch Dantai Luo Xue, they'd have to get past him first.

The most outstanding disciples among those of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects exchanged looks, nodded, and without much hesitation, charged at Ye Luo.

They understood that if they didn't take out Dantai Luo Xue first, their chances of victory were slim.

With this chessboard of Dantai Luo Xue in play, their combat power was weakened and their treasures suppressed — they were at a severe disadvantage.

Therefore, they had to eliminate Dantai Luo Xue first and then deal with Zhang Han.

Realizing this,

these disciples of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects wanted to complain inwardly; why, even though they were all from Hidden Sects, were these members so extravagantly flashy...
