Chapter 2080: The Evil Ones Complain First

“Wait a moment.”

Zheng Wei stopped Zheng Long and his son. “Big Brother, they are here to participate in the New Talent Ranking Tournament, and they have now entered the Great Xing Imperial City and are staying at the inn.

If you try to take action now, not only will you fail to get revenge, but you will also bring trouble upon yourself.

Once those Great Deacons are alarmed, we might be fine, but Heng’er and the others will all be disqualified from the tournament.”

“This…”

Zheng Long was stunned. He was used to being arrogant in the Haofeng Empire, but he forgot that this was no longer his territory, but belonged to the Daxing Empire.

As Zheng Wei said, although the Tianfeng Empire is weak, they are now participants in the tournament.

And according to the rules of the New Talent Ranking Tournament, private brawls between team members are strictly prohibited, otherwise, they will be directly disqualified.

Then he said angrily, “Then I’ll go alone. Anyway, I’m not a participant, so I’m not restricted.”

“Big Brother, you are truly muddled.”

Zheng Wei reached out and pulled Zheng Long back. “No matter what, you are also the Dean of the Haofeng Empire branch academy. It’s not honorable to attack a few Juniors like this.

Furthermore, those from the Tianfeng Empire are staying at the inn, where there are many guards. Once a fight breaks out, it will immediately attract the Great Deacon and the city guard, and it will be difficult to clean up the mess.”

Zheng Yiheng said with a face full of unwillingness, “Second Uncle, are we just going to swallow this insult?”

Zheng Wei’s expression was grim: “Swallowing an insult is out of the question. No one can bully my Zheng family, but revenge must be done with method, not blindly, otherwise, we will be the ones to suffer.”

Zheng Long said, “Second Brother, you have the most ideas, so tell us what we should do?”

“It’s simple, we’ll go find those Great Deacons now.”

Zheng Wei revealed a cunning smile, “We can also reasonably use the rules. It is the Tianfeng Empire that has violated the Great Deacon’s rules, so we can just go and report them.

Once the people from the Tianfeng Empire are disqualified and driven out of the Great Xing Imperial City, then we can do whatever we want, without any further restrictions.”

“Second Uncle’s idea is better.”

Zheng Yiheng said through gritted teeth, “I’m going to flay that kid alive, then steal his flying Spiritual Artifact and his women.

Especially that girl who attacked me, I’m going to properly discipline her, and then sell her to a brothel.

How dare she attack Young Master? She must pay the price!”

Zheng Long wasn’t as excited. He thought for a moment and said, “Second Brother, will your plan work?

Although private brawls are prohibited in this competition, the cause of this incident was Heng’er.

We were the ones who made the first move and tried to steal their things, so I’m afraid the Great Deacon won’t side with us.”

“Big Brother, we can be flexible.” Zheng Wei said with a sly smile, “This matter only involves the Tianfeng Empire and us, and there are no other witnesses.

Why should we tell the truth? We can just change our story.”

At this point, he turned to Zheng Yiheng, “Later, you just follow what I say. Say that when you were resting, the people from the Tianfeng Empire tried to snatch your Spirit Stones…”

Zheng Wei fabricated a story, twisting the entire matter, making Ye Bufan and the others out to be greedy robbers, while Zheng Yiheng became the victim.

“Second Uncle, will this work?”

Even Zheng Yiheng was a little uncomfortable with this story.

Zheng Wei said indifferently, “What’s wrong with it? It’s a matter of no witnesses anyway, what are you afraid of?

Moreover, if we take the initiative to report them, the initiative will be in our hands. With our Zheng family here, will those people from the Honghai Empire come out to testify for them?”

“That won’t happen. Even if they speak, they will side with us.”

“Isn’t that right? You just need to do as I say.”

Zheng Wei also instructed, “One thing you must remember, absolutely do not mention anything about that Low Grade flying Spiritual Artifact, not a single word.”

“Why?”

Zheng Yiheng asked subconsciously.

“Those Great Deacons are all old foxes who are not easily fooled. Once you mention the flying Spiritual Artifact, they will immediately think of what you did.

Moreover, bringing up this matter has no benefits whatsoever. Just pretend you don't know about it.”

Zheng Yiheng nodded: “I understand, Second Uncle.”

After discussing and refining some details, the three of them finally walked out of the room and quickly arrived at the Custodian Hall set up for this New Talent Ranking Tournament.

The Custodian Hall is located in a grand hall in the outer city of the Great Xing Imperial City. At this moment, four people were sitting in the center.

Sitting in the first seat was an old eunuch in a gray robe. He looked thin, but his aura was powerful. He was the Grand Manager of the Great Xing

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

Empire, Zhang He.

The second person was an old man with long white hair, whose aura was also incredibly powerful. He was the Grand Elder of Shenjian Villa, Zhongli Mei.

The third was a middle-aged beautiful woman, Grand Elder Qin Biyao of Tianshui Pavilion.

In terms of actual age, this woman was definitely not younger than Zhongli Mei, but she was well-preserved, with fair skin and a beautiful face, possessing the charm of a mature woman.

Finally, there was a rough-looking Nameless middle-aged man with a full beard, looking extremely fierce. He was Lei Heng, the Grand Elder of Lei Yun Sect.

These four people served as the Great Deacons for this New Talent Ranking Tournament, and their cultivation had all reached the Early Stage of the Void Tempering Realm.

On Kunlun Continent, Sects are generally divided into ten Ranks, with the highest Rank being a ten-star Sect and the lowest being a one-star Sect.

Tianluo State does not have Sects above nine stars. The highest Rank are Shenjian Villa, Tianshui Pavilion, and Lei Yun Sect, these three eight-star Sects, which shows the high status of these Three Great Elders.

In addition, the New Talent Ranking Tournament was also proposed by these Three Great Sects and initiated by the Daxing Empire. The purpose was to discover young Disciples with excellent Aptitude through such competitions, and if there was a suitable opportunity, they would be taken into their School.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang He served as the First Great Deacon, with the remaining three assisting him.

These four parties, one representing the most powerful Empire and the others representing the Three Great Sects, issued commands that no one dared to disobey.

Zhongli Mei picked up the fragrant tea in front of him and took a sip, saying, “Everyone, in three months, it will be the Genius Demon Battle, which occurs once every ten years on the Kunlun Continent.

Last time, our Tianluo State returned in defeat, and relying solely on the Disciples of our Three Great Sects is clearly not enough.

I hope that this New Talent Ranking Tournament can produce one or two Prodigies or Geniuses to bring us some honor.”

Qin Biyao shook her head slightly: “If it were that easy for them to appear, they wouldn’t be called Prodigies or Geniuses. I feel there isn’t much hope.”

Lei Heng said in a booming voice, “Our Tianluo State cannot compare to the other four continents in terms of Spiritual Qi and foundation. Our young Disciples are naturally a step behind, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Zhang He had a calm smile on his face: “The Three Elders should not be too pessimistic. Perhaps this New Talent Ranking Tournament will produce the Prodigy Geniuses you are looking for.”

The Three Great Elders all shook their heads slightly, clearly not holding much hope for this matter.

Just then, a young eunuch ran in hurriedly from outside: “Reporting to the Great Deacon, Zheng Wei of Lingxiao Academy requests an audience.”
