Chapter 1435: Chapter 1084: The Temptation of Taking Three Moves from the Elders! (Part 2)

The Nirvana Martial Contest, she must win!

The rewards for the first place, she must obtain!

Not only must she win, but she must win honorably!

Not only must she obtain it, but she must obtain it rightfully, leaving no grounds for reproach!

In other words, having guessed the true intentions of the Hidden World Clan, Gu Changsheng considered that if she exposed the identity of the Southern Emperor, given the Hidden World Clan’s nature of compromising for their purposes, the first place position would likely become a sure thing for Gu Changsheng. Even in the unlikely event that Gu Changsheng was truly outmatched by those talented young ones, the Hidden World Clan might hand over the first place position to her to establish good relations for the future with her, the Empress holding most of the realm!

But then, what would be the point for her, Gu Changsheng, to bind her Inner Strength and participate in this Nirvana Martial Contest?

Regardless of whether the Hidden World Clan intends to storm the North or plans for future engagement, Gu Changsheng knew that she would never allow others to exploit her favor to threaten her later!

At this thought, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but turn her head and glance at Dugu Jieao sitting among the Elders of the Hidden World Clan. Hmph, this old guy outwardly cooperates with her, but behind the scenes, he sets traps. It couldn’t be more that he’s hesitating, afraid to act boldly against her!

After pondering for a while, Gu Changsheng frowned, looking at those Elders of the Hidden World Clan, her small face under half-covered mask filled with deep contemplation.

"Honorable Elders, as I see it, the fact that the Immortal Lady and Manor Master Liu are getting along well is a good thing. We’re making a big fuss about it, aren’t we? So many people watching from below, we might be accused of being narrow-minded for not showing more tolerance. Besides, just let them sit wherever..." In front of the Hidden World Clan’s Elders, Dugu Jieao put aside his stance, without mentioning "this Elder," his aged face filled with killing intent bore a smile, playing the mediator role. As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Gu Changsheng!

That glance clearly conveyed that the cooperation they had previously discussed still held, and Dugu Jieao was indeed on the same side as Gu Changsheng!

However, upon receiving Dugu Jieao’s signal, Gu Changsheng could only shake her head helplessly!

To dance with wolves is to negotiate with tigers about their skins!

She just didn’t know how Dugu Jieao planned to cheat and, in the presence of so many Elders, allow the Dugu Family or himself to win the Nirvana Martial Contest openly to obtain the reward for the first!

Though curious, Gu Changsheng showed even more disdain for the Hidden World Clan!

Even if the Hidden World Clan aimed merely for fame and reputation, their lack of detachment from worldly struggles meant Gu Changsheng could not genuinely respect them!

If possible, Gu Changsheng would very much like to directly fight, finish it, grab the first-place reward, and just leave!

But then, it was just a simple thought of hers!

The Hidden World Clan was hosting the Nirvana Martial Contest with such fanfare, announcing their re-entry into the world to the world, they had already started forming alliances. How could they let the contest end hastily?

They would surely ensure the Nirvana Martial Contest’s grand success to show the world the power of their Hidden World Clan and earn its respect!

Evidently, Dugu Jieao’s persuasion had no effect. On the contrary, his words incited the Elders of the Hidden World Clan, who were already indignant, into even greater anger!

As members of the Hidden World Clan, these seats above the Elders were something they absolutely could not tolerate!

Because it concerns their dignity!

And it concerns the dignity of the various noble families within the Hidden World Clan!

All along, they felt that allowing Medicine King Valley to become the leading family in the Hidden World Clan was half of their own making. But the situation now was different. In front of the world, under so many watchful eyes, they would never raise Medicine King Valley’s morale while undermining their own prestige! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Thus, an old lady immediately waved her sleeve at mediator Dugu Jieao and said in a deep voice, "Brother Dugu, do not speak for her. If she wants to sit in a position above us, it’s not impossible, but she must follow the rules! Immortal!"

Turning her head towards Gu Changsheng, the old lady, with a keen, spirited voice, said, "Immortal, as a member of the Hidden World Clan, you must abide by the Clan’s rules. It is not impossible for you to sit out of order. Just hold your ground for three moves against me, and you may enjoy special privileges among the young disciples of the Hidden World Clan!"

"Special privileges? What privileges?" Gu Changsheng sneered upon hearing this and said, "Old madam, don’t bully me as if I’ve never seen the world. For a position, you want me to survive three moves under a Master of the Transformative Realm like you? Do you take me for a fool? Or do you consider me overly naive?"

Even though there were Masters of the Transformative Realm around Gu Changsheng, one couldn’t really treat Masters of the Transformative Realm as mere cabbages!

Three moves from a Master of the Transformative Realm were not something to tackle easily; a misstep could easily be fatal!

"Hmph!" The old lady snorted arrogantly upon hearing this, glanced at Gu Changsheng dismissively, and said, "Endure my three moves without falling, and you may sit wherever you wish, as well as directly advance to the semifinals, like the lad from the Dantai Family and the girl from the Helan Family!"
