Chapter 34: Five Regions Alliance (End)

In the VIP seating area of Danxiang Valley, Guardian Tang Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze locked firmly on Lin Fan in the center of the plaza.

Lin Fan—this name had stirred up a massive storm in the Upper Realm two years ago.

Despite having already stepped into the realm of a Void Main God, he insisted on disguising himself as a God Lord, setting traps to toy with numerous God Kings.

He made those conceited old fogies empty out their resources, willingly offering up their divine medicines, Divine Artifacts, and even the three proudest Prodigies of the Upper Realm were led around by the nose by him.

Thinking of this, a cold sneer appeared in Guardian Tang Yichen's eyes.

When everyone finally realized what happened and wanted to descend to the Lower Realm to surround and suppress him, they discovered that he had completely vanished, leaving not even a shadow behind.

Those old fogies who attempted to bring him to justice could only look up at the sky and curse.

Two years later, Lin Fan reappeared in the world. Not only had his cultivation steadily advanced, but he had also received the protection of the Three Thousand Dao. Now, even if those old fogies wanted to make a move, they wouldn't have the chance!

Guardian Tang Yichen laughed helplessly: "Hahaha, he really is a national treasure level player."

On the plaza, the match between Lin Fan and Dan Xiner came to an end, with Lin Fan winning through absolute strength.

Enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the venue, cheering for Lin Fan's brilliant performance and marveling at his steady demeanor.

Instructor Liu Qingwan stood in the center and announced with a beaming smile: "Next will be the final match. Lin Fan versus Lin Chen! Who will become the champion of this tournament? Let us wait and see!"

Upon hearing this result, Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then she lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile, her eyes filled with a touch of cunning and a hint of helplessness.

Lin Fan walked up to Lin Chen and asked in a low voice: "What is it? You look very happy."

Lin Chen looked up and smiled sweetly: "Of course, since my opponent is you! However…"

Her tone shifted, and she playfully stuck out her tongue: "I don't intend to fight you. Can I just concede?"

Lin Fan sighed, slightly helpless, his tone gentle and laced with indulgence: "Lin Chen, this is a competition. If you do that, others will think we are cheating."

Lin Chen pouted coquettishly: "But I can't beat you. You're so powerful, I don't want to be beaten up so badly."

After saying this, she blinked her eyes and added in a whisper: "Besides, I just like letting you be number one."

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh, raising his hand to ruffle her hair: "You girl, you really are too lazy to fight."

The interaction between the two was seen clearly by the audience below, and the crowd immediately began to whisper.

"Their relationship is too good, isn't it? They don't look like opponents at all; they look more like… a couple?"

"Oh my, with Lin Chen's personality, so sweet and cute, no one could bear to actually fight her."

"Lin Fan is truly fortunate!"

Instructor Liu Qingwan stepped forward and gave a light cough, suppressing the discussions in the arena: "Lin Chen, have you thought this through? The result of the match concerns the honor of the Sect. Are you sure you want to forfeit?"

Lin Chen turned around, smiled sweetly, and said firmly: "Elder Liu, I am sure. Lin Fan is more suitable for the position of captain than I am; this is beyond doubt."

Seeing this, Instructor Liu Qingwan shook her head helplessly, but a gratified smile appeared on her face: "Since that is the case, I declare the final winner—Lin Fan! He will serve as captain and represent the Five Regions in battle!"

Thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue; the crowd was not surprised by this result, and it even felt like a matter of course.

Lin Chen blinked and quietly tugged on Lin Fan's sleeve, whispering: "How about that? I'm smart enough, right? You won without having to fight."

Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle and replied in a low voice: "You, you really are a little clever ghost. However, regardless of whether you win or lose the match, you will always be number one in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth from lifting; she looked as sweet and moving as a blooming flower.

Instructor Liu Qingwan stepped forward, her tone gentle yet dignified: "Next, the Xuanyin Second Sect and the Nether Ghost Realm will compete for fourth and fifth place. I ask Ye Youming and Mu Xueyan to prepare."

No sooner had Instructor Liu Qingwan finished speaking than people began to whisper: "I heard that all the Disciples of the Nether Ghost Realm have withdrawn back to the Nether Ghost Realm, and even Ye Youming has given up on this match. Are they really going to forfeit?"

Sure enough, shortly after, a messenger Disciple hurried to the plaza and announced loudly: "Report! All Ghost Realm Disciples have returned to the Nether Ghost Realm, and Ye Youming cannot be found."

Instructor Liu Qingwan announced: "Ye Youming forfeits. According to the rules, Mu Xueyan wins, so the Xuanyin Second Sect is ranked fourth, and the Nether Ghost Realm is ranked fifth. The rankings for the Five Regions are as follows."

"First place: Tianji Pavilion. Second place: Xuanyin Qin Sect. Third place: Danxiang Valley. Fourth place: Xuanyin Second Sect. Fifth place: Nether Ghost Realm."

The Second Prince of the Yiyun Empire, Jin Haotian, was very hurt; he had been hoping to see Mu Xueyan defeated by Ye Youming so he could show off his own strength and rise to power.

As it turned out, Ye Youming didn't even show up, so he had no choice but to silently leave the crowd.

Instructor Liu Qingwan continued: "According to the rules of the Five Regions Assembly, the Five Regions Alliance, composed of outstanding Disciples from the forefront of each Sect, will be officially established. The Alliance will send representatives to the Mirror Sect to investigate and eliminate the hidden threat."

Instructor Liu Qingwan's gaze fell upon the five most dazzling individuals in the arena, introducing them one by one: "First representative, Tianji Pavilion's Lin Fan; second representative, Xuanyin Qin Sect's Lin Chen; third representative, Danxiang Valley's Dan Xiner; fourth representative, Xuanyin Second Sect's Mu Xueyan; fifth representative, Nether Ghost Realm's Ye Youming."

After the introductions, Instructor Liu Qingwan's voice suddenly rose: "These five represent the power of us all gathered together! I believe that if we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome all challenges and safeguard the peace and future of our Five Regions."

As Instructor Liu Qingwan's voice faded, the entire venue immediately boiled over, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense and intense.

Many Disciples below stood up, looking at each other, their eyes filled with excitement and fervent blood.

"We also want to join the joint team to crusade against the Mirror Sect!"

"If the Mirror Sect is not eliminated, peace will be hard to come by! We must act together!"

One hundred ceremonial female Disciples, dressed in neat uniforms, walked with unified steps and an extraordinary bearing.

They held a huge red banner in their hands, embroidered with gold thread in the pattern of five interlocking rings.

"? The Olympic rings!" Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Isn't this the Olympic rings? It actually became the united banner of the Five Regions.

Lin Chen giggled: "That's right, the inspiration for this banner also came from your hometown."

The golden rings shimmered, interlocking with one another, symbolizing the unity and unyielding spirit of the Five Regions.

Following their steps, the red banner slowly rose, carrying an aura that could swallow thousands of miles, stretching across the very center of the stage.

The audience below held their breath, everyone's gaze focused on that banner.

The symbol of the Five Regions Alliance had, at this moment, become their shared belief.

As the banner rose, the entire venue seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious power, and the surrounding atmosphere immediately became solemn and fervent.

All the Disciples below could no longer suppress their excitement and shouted in unison: "Five Regions Alliance, never divided!"

"Five Regions Alliance, crusade against the Mirror Sect!"

The entire plaza, like a volcano about to erupt, felt its Battle Intent surging like a tide, shaking all directions.
