Chapter 3732 The result is effective
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Bufan turned his head to look at the viewing platform, his eyes fixed on Zhao Qinglian.
Having watched eight consecutive matches before, he had a clear understanding of the individuals on stage.
"Elder Zhao of the Zhao family, is that right? You keep saying I violated the rules, so please specify which rule I violated. Even if I'm disqualified, I need to know why."
"This…"
Zhao Qinglian's expression froze. Subconsciously, he felt that what the other party did must be a violation, but upon closer thought, he couldn't pinpoint which rule it was.
However, under everyone's watchful eyes, he couldn't afford to lose Face, so he shouted in exasperation, "Young man, are you still trying to argue? If this Elder says you violated the rules, then you violated the rules!"
Ye Bufan, however, smiled slightly, "Elder Zhao, I don't understand what you mean.
Firstly, it seems that you are not one of the three notaries for today's competition. What right do you have to say I violated the rules? Are you saying your status is even above that of the Elder of the Three Sects?"
"I…"
Zhao Qinglian's Face turned ashen from the retort, but this time, he truly had nothing to say.
Among the Three Sects, Five Factions, Seven Great Families, the highest in terms of relative strength and status were naturally the Three Great Sects.
His earlier unilateral declaration of Ye Bufan's violation was already overstepping, and he dared not offend Fairy Chixia and the other two again at this moment.
"Moreover, Senior Wu Huo Daojun said it clearly before: the rule of this arena battle is that there are no rules; any means can be used as long as one wins.
But now Elder Zhao says I violated the rules, which really confuses this Disciple. I don't know where the rules truly lie, or who is the chief organizer today?"
Ye Bufan was experienced in conflict; he immediately saw the other party's weak point, grasped it firmly, and pursued relentlessly.
The surrounding crowd revealed astonished expressions. This Young man was truly too formidable; he had managed to corner Elder Zhao of the Zhao family with just a few words.
Cold sweat seeped from Zhao Qinglian's forehead. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to usurp power from Wuwei Daojun and the other two.
Whether in terms of identity, status, or cultivation, there was an unbridgeable gap between him and them.
He quickly tried to backtrack, "Young man, don't talk nonsense. This Elder was merely making a suggestion and cannot make decisions on behalf of the three notary Elders."
"So that's how it is."
Ye Bufan still wore a brilliant smile on his Face, "But even if it's a suggestion, one should clarify the situation before speaking.
This Disciple acted honorably, with no violations whatsoever. May I ask where Elder's suggestion comes from?"
Zhao Qinglian snorted coldly, "Young man, what kind of place is this? This is the Hundred Sects Tournament arena.
Instead of competing properly here, you took the opportunity to accumulate wealth and profit, turning the arena battle into an auction. What is that if not a violation?"
Ye Bufan calmly replied, "Elder, but the rules of this competition state there are no rules on the arena. It seems there's no problem with what I did, right?"
"Enough nonsense! Auctioning off qualification spots and taking advantage to accumulate wealth—this is a typical breach of martial ethics. Someone like you is simply not worthy of continuing in the competition."
Zhao Qinglian's words were righteous and full of Aura.
"So, casually selling off spots and demanding others' immortal crystals is a breach of martial ethics. I've truly learned something."
Ye Bufan nodded slightly, seemingly accepting his statement, but then asked, "However, there's one more thing this Disciple doesn't understand. Please enlighten me, Elder.
At the start of the competition, the Zhao family's Third Young Master, Zhao Xingyun, encouraged everyone to attack us, and at that time, he also promised competition spots. How do you explain that?
Is it that only Disciples from our small Sects are considered to have breached martial ethics, while Disciples from your Zhao family are exempt? Is it that you have too much virtue, or simply none at all?"
"Uh…"
After he finished speaking, Zhao Qinglian's Face became extremely ugly.
He had originally thought he stood on the moral high ground and could condemn from a superior position, but he had completely forgotten Zhao Xingyun's previous actions.
In terms of nature, this Third Young Master of the Zhao family was not much different from Ye Bufan.
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. No one expected this Young man's counterattack to be so sharp.
Every move targeted the opponent's vital point, leaving Elder Zhao of the Zhao family completely unable to retaliate.
Feeling the reactions of the crowd, Zhao Qinglian was so angry his lungs were about to explode. It was the first time he had been pointed at and cursed for the Zhao family's lack of virtue, and he couldn't even fight back.
"Alright, let's stop here with this matter."
Wu Huo Daojun spoke. The reason he hadn't stepped forward earlier was that he wanted to see how this Young man would perform.
The result once again exceeded his expectations. This Young man was not only formidable in Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, but his verbal skills were also truly impressive, managing to make the old fox Zhao Qinglian suffer a significant setback.
"Earlier, this Elder said clearly that once on the arena, as long as one does not harm another's Primordial Spirit, there are no rules; any means can be used.
Whether it's forcing others into a group attack or auctioning off group qualification spots, one must possess absolute strength, otherwise, it simply cannot be done. Therefore, all of this is reasonable and compliant.
So, I think this match counts for nothing; the result is valid."
As the Grand Elder of Tiandao Sect, Wu Huo Daojun's words were also subtly sharp, directly including Zhao Xingyun's actions.
At this point, he turned his head to look at the two people next to him, "What do the two Elders think?"
Ouyang Pingjiang nodded, "I think Daojun's words make sense. To hold an auction, one must have absolute strength. If others find this method feasible, they can also try it."
The crowd below was in an uproar. Indeed, that was the truth. If it were an ordinary Sect, after going up, they might not even be able to save their own lives, let alone hold an auction.
The reason Ye Bufan succeeded was because of the extremely formidable woman standing behind him. Such a Prodigy was not something one could easily encounter.
Fairy Chixia said, "That's right. This Elder also believes this match was fair and just, and the result is valid."
She had long set her sights on Leng Qingqiu and wanted to take her as a Disciple. How could she consider the Zhao family's Face and opinions at this time?
Now, with all three notaries jointly affirming the validity of the match's result, it was tantamount to a disguised slap to the Zhao family's Face.
Hearing this result, Lingyun Sword Sect cheered, and many others around them also applauded.
The bald man on stage let out a long sigh of relief. He was afraid that the thirty million immortal crystals he spent would be declared invalid, making it all a waste.
At least it was finally settled. His Sect qualified, and the money spent was completely worth it.
Some were happy, some were sad. Zhao Qinglian's Face was extremely grim, but he had no recourse.
The decision made by the Three Great Elders was simply not something he could challenge. The key issue was that with Zhao Xingyun's prior actions, his argument simply couldn't stand.
Utterly helpless, he could only accept the final outcome: the Zhao family was eliminated, and Ye Bufan successfully won.
Han Lingkuang and Four Directions Sword Sect, who were watching from the side, also looked displeased. Deep down, they naturally didn't want to see their enemy win.
However, from another perspective, this also gave them an opportunity for personal revenge. They were just waiting for the upcoming Hundred Sects Tournament to have their Sect members severely teach the other party a lesson.
