Although the Qisha Clan had come to a realization now, it was already too late. The Gui Yuan Clan had already won three fights. They just needed to win another two more to pass this round.

And in the next round of the Demigod duel, Qisha’s strongest participant was already used. The participant from the Gui Yuan Clan was likely to win.

“I can’t accept this. Judge, they are scheming, I want to recompete!” The upper-class True God, Han Xiu declared.

However, the judge could only sigh and shake his head, “Elder Han, it is not that I don’t wish to help you, but the rules are as such. The sequence at which your members are sent up are determined by the clan yourselves. What the Gui Yuan Clan is doing is allowed, according to the rules.”

When the judge finished speaking, the last battle of the Demigods had also finished. Once again, the Gui Yuan Clan had won. At this moment, the people from the Qisha Clan started to feel uneasy.

The Gui Yuan Clan had won four rounds while they had only won two. This meant that in the following lower-class True God duels, they had to win all three rounds.

But the Gui Yuan Clan did not even bother to hide their tactics from them, would they let them win so easily?

Of course not.

When the Gui Yuan Clan eventually won Qisha Clan and the news of it entering the top 250 clans spread, all the clans in the competition were impassioned. When they found out how the Gui Yuan Clan had won, everyone started to evaluate and judge them.

Some praised them for having the courage to plan out their strategy carefully. Martial Artists needed to know their strengths and play to them in order to have a long future. In addition, the Gui Yuan Clan did not even have any intentions to hide what they were doing. They showed their hand outrightly from the start. It was the Qisha Clan’s stupidity to blame for not having seen it earlier.

There were those that thought entirely differently. They felt that the Gui Yuan Clan was trying to find a loophole in the rules and the result of their fight was unfair. It was unfair for Qisha Clan to lose.

Ultimately, no matter whether it was good or bad, the result was final. The Qisha Clan was destined to only be in the top 500 in this Clan Tournament.

With Gui Yuan Clan passing this round, it made those that lost to them feel slightly better about themselves. Even people from the Tianluo Clan felt comforted. Even a clan that was in the top 100 had lost to the Gui Yuan Clan, what was there to feel bad about?

With the first round amongst the top 500 over, this was now the last round to determine the top 100.

The tactic that the Gui Yuan Clan used against the Qisha Clan would not be useful here.

The points obtained from 5 wins and 4 losses would cause them to be out of the top 100.

As usual, Jin Chengcheng was collating bets before the competition.

When he came to the Gui Yuan Clan, the way he looked at Gu Lingzhi was as if he saw the God of Wealth. Unable to hide his excitement, he asked, “Elder Gu, may I know who you will be betting on this time?”

As Gu Lingzhi looked at the wooden token that Tianfeng Jin had handed over to her with the name of their opponent, she said confidently, “Of course, it will be on us.”

Following that, under Jin Chengcheng’s trembling gaze, she bet one million god stones.

The truth was if she was not afraid that betting more would influence her odds, she would have thrown in the few million god stones that she had won from betting on her own clan in the previous few rounds. The feeling of becoming rich overnight was too exuberating. Even Zhuo Haotian looked at her in jealousy when he found out how much she had won from betting.

However, even though Gu Lingzhi tried to be subtle, the emergence of the Gui Yuan Clan could not be hidden. At least when they knew who the Gui Yuan Clan were facing next, the odds ratio changed. It was the biggest change since the start of the tournament – one to two.

From being looked down upon, they were now the clan that people wanted to bet on. They could also tell that Gui Yuan Clan’s luck was great. This time, they were up against a clan that were not very strong.

Entering the top 100 did not seem very difficult anymore, allowing Gu Lingzhi to breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone from the Gui Yuan Clan had a feeling as if their dream was about to come through.

Gui Yuan Clan’s name was officially known by everyone who came to participate in the Clan Tournament. The initial looks of disdain turned into looks of admiration.

Even if they had schemed in their previous fight, the fact that they could enter the top 100 clans meant that they were strong.

Taking a step back, even if the Gui Yuan Clan did not use tricks to win, the reputation of being in the top 100 would be sufficient for people to respect them.

This was the reputation of having an abundance of resources. With all these, they had complete belief that in the next Clan Tournament, the Gui Yuan Clan’s strength would match their position in the Clan Rankings!

Just as everyone started to believe that the Gui Yuan Clan was a force to be reckoned with, on the observation deck at the Tianyan Clan, a silent and cold looking young man smiled. This rare smile immediately made the young lady that was trying to butter up to him exclaim, “Senior Yan, you laughed!”

“Mmhm.” The man replied, delight apparent in his voice.

He did not think they would actually do it and make it to the top 100 of the Clan Tournament. His companions were working so hard, if he did not do anything, he would really be useless.

Thinking about the plan he had come up with secretly, the smile on Yan Liang’s face deepened.

That’s right. This handsome looking person that had infiltrated the Tianyan Clan was Yan Liang.

When he first ascended into the Realm of the Gods, he was quite lucky and appeared at a place with not a sign of human life. When he finally came across an area with humans, the glow that would set him apart as someone who ascended had long disappeared. This gave him the opportunity to assess the situation in the Realm of the Gods safely.

When he knew that Pan Luo had known about the ascension and issued a wanted list, Yan Liang was so furious he wanted to rush up directly to challenge Pan Luo. He wanted to tear off his façade and expose his true evil side to everyone.

But having always been calm, he knew that doing so would only mean imminent death. Hence, he suppressed the hatred he had towards Pan Luo and worked hard to integrate into the Realm of the Gods. He became a hunter that hunted those on the Wanted List. In actuality, he wanted to use this chance to rescue those from the Tianyuan Continent.

As for how he got into the Tianyan Clan, that was a beautiful accident.

The young daughter of the Clan Leader of the Tianyan Clan had been coveted by some gangster and almost fell into their trap but was saved by a young hero that had just been passing by.

With this old trick of rescuing a beauty, the outcome was also very predictable. The young lady was extremely grateful for the young hero for saving her life and immediately brought him back to her place at the clan and introduced him to her father. It allowed him to stay in the Tianyan Clan. In their interaction thereafter, affection grew, and everything seemed to fall in place.

“This Gui Yuan Clan is quite good. I want to meet them.”

“Gui Yuan Clan?” Liu Shanshan scrunched up her nose as she did not think so, “Isn’t it just a random clan that made it only because they were scheming? Senior, why are you so interested in them?”

Fury flashed in Yan Liang’s eyes before quickly disappearing, suppressing his rage he said, “Scheming is also a skill. If they can make it to the top 100, they would naturally be talented in some way. Junior, you don’t even know them well, yet you’ve already formed a judgement on them based on rumors, don’t you think that is too careless?”

“Senior...” Liu Shanshan had never seen Yan Liang speak to her so sternly before and became flustered, “Sorry Senior, I just heard what others were saying. If you are interested in them, then let’s go have a look.”

“No, I will go alone.” When he was going to meet with Gu Lingzhi and the rest, it would be better if there was no one else around in case they realize something from their conversation.

“I won’t be watching the fight in the afternoon. If the Clan Leader asks, please help me explain.”

Yan Liang’s expression then returned to their cold state as he determined the direction he had to head to to reach where the Gui Yuan Clan was currently staying.

Due to their increase in rankings, the temporary residence of the Gui Yuan Clan also had a significant improvement in quality. From their slum housing by the side of the mountain, they had shifted to near the center and were at a peak that was filled with spiritual energy.

At this moment, the people in the Gui Yuan Clan were suppressing their excitement as they discussed their next plan of action.

According to the flow of previous tournaments, the competition for the top 100 would be conducted in five days. Similar to previously, lots would be drawn to determine their opponents.

With regard to this, the Gui Yuan Clan did not have any expectations anymore, having already reached their goal. Now, what they needed to be careful of was to not expose their identity as Ascension Members from the Tianyuan Continent before the end of the Clan Tournament.

This was an extremely dangerous move.

Even if others wrecked their brain, they would never think that the tiny ants from Tianyuan Continent that were on the wanted list would be so bold as to appear straight up in front of them. In such a brazen manner that attracted the attention of so many as well. Right from the beginning, the reason why Rong Yuan agreed with Gu Lingzhi and decided to give it their all for the Clan Tournament was because of this.

After all, it was almost impossible for anyone to think that people that were being hunted would actually appear in front of their hunters openly.

At this point, Yan Liang reached. He knocked rhythmically on the door and a familiar voice sounded.

“Yan Liang from the Tianyan Clan is here to visit.”

The interior of the house fell silent. Gu Lingzhi then jumped up excitedly, “Yan Liang?”

The moment she said that she shut her mouth frustratedly. From the way Yan Liang spoke, it was obvious that he was trying to remind them that walls have ears. Who knew if anyone could hear the excitement in her voice?

“That’s me. I never would have thought that the Gui Yuan Clan would have heard of my name.”
