To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

At the Hehuan Sect's headquarters, Hua Yu's face was filled with excitement, and he quickly found Hong Yang with a communication talisman in his hand.

"Brother Hongyang, good news, great news!"

Hong Yang glanced at Hua Yu, who was rushing towards him with an excited look on her face, and asked with a smile, "Have you investigated thoroughly?"

"We've already investigated clearly. The reason Bafang Pavilion invited forces like Tiangui Sect and Xuanhuo Sect to come here is indeed to borrow people from them."

"The talks fell through?"

"That's right. Although the major forces have cooperative relations with Bafang Pavilion, they have clearly stated that they do not want to offend us, so they rejected Bafang Pavilion's request to borrow people."

"Eight Square Restaurant offered a huge price, but was still rejected by the major forces. Finally, they even threatened to cooperate with the food and restaurant project. In the end, the major forces still rejected Eight Square Restaurant's request, and the two sides parted ways unhappily."

Hong Yang's lips curled up slightly after hearing the news Hua Yu brought. "It seems that Bafang Pavilion is getting anxious. Master Jin actually dared to threaten these forces with the gourmet restaurant project. They didn't even look in the mirror. They only relied on Su Motang to rise to a top-notch force. Without Su Motang, they are nothing."

"Which of these, the Tiangui Sect, the Xuanhuo Sect, and the Tianhuoshan Sect, isn't a top-tier force? How dare Master Jin threaten them? He's simply crazy."

"Senior Brother Hongyang, what should we do now? It is said that various forces have released the news that they are betting on us to win this life-and-death battle. Senior Brother Hongyang, should we also prepare?" A gleam of light flashed in Hua Yu's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yang's eyes flashed with greed: "Since the wealth sent by heaven is ours, why shouldn't we take it?"

"It seems the resource land we planned for previously isn't enough. We need to increase it. Junior Brother Huayu, immediately announce that our hall will challenge the Bafang Hall tomorrow, using the resource land as collateral. Start hyping this up and prop up Tiansheng City's market."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Hua Yu looked excited and couldn't wait to announce the news.

As Hua Yu spread the news that the Hehuan Sect accepted the challenge, the entire Tiansheng City was in an uproar, and countless cultivators began to discuss this rare life-and-death battle.

"A life-and-death battle between two top-tier teams. This time, it's going to be a good show!"

"Hahaha, this time the Bafang Pavilion shot itself in the foot."

"Hehe, it depends on how the Bafang Pavilion responds."

……

The Bafang Pavilion also quickly spread the news: "If the Hehuan Sect wants the Bafang Pavilion to accept the challenge, they must produce treasures of sufficient value, and within a specified time. In addition, the Bafang Pavilion has also publicly announced that they are ready to accept the challenge."

Soon, Tiansheng City announced the odds for this life-and-death battle, and as a result, a large number of cultivators bet on the Hehuan Sect to win.

"Haha, everyone knows that the Hehuan Sect is sure to win. No one should bet on the Bafang Pavilion to win, right?"

"The Bafang Pavilion is at least a top-tier force, so they should have some tricks up their sleeves. However, I still believe that the Hehuan Sect is more powerful, so I'll suppress them."

At the Sihai Merchant Alliance, Lu Wen held a communication jade slip with a sneer on his face: "Banfang Pavilion, since you are willing to help us make money, then we will not be polite."

The entire Tiansheng City seemed to be in a carnival. Countless cultivators and forces bet on the victory of the Hehuan Sect. Of course, there were also many unknown forces betting on the Bafang Pavilion.

This time, the odds were expanding like a balloon. Most cultivators and forces placed their bets on the Hehuan Sect, but the stakes on the Bafang Pavilion were also gradually increasing.

The next day, at the Hehuan Sect's headquarters, Hongyang and Huayu were in high spirits. After intense preparations, everything was ready.

"Everyone come here!" Hong Yang shouted, and rays of light appeared in the base, and soon the disciples of the Hehuan Sect gathered together.

After a moment, Hongyang and Huayu frowned, as two people were missing from the group that came.

"Who knows what's going on between Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng?" Hong Yang said with a cold face.

Everyone shook their heads, not knowing what had happened. Seeing no one answered, Hong Yang directly expanded his spiritual sense and the next moment found Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng lying unconscious in the training room.

"These two losers have gone astray!" Hong Yang cursed angrily, then took a step forward and quickly pulled Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng out of the training room.

At this time, Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng were both breathing weakly, their faces were pale, their eyes were closed, and the fluctuations of their true energy were extremely chaotic, showing very obvious signs of being possessed.

Hong Yang checked the injuries of Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng, and his expression instantly became even gloomier.

"How are their injuries?" Hua Yu asked.

"The spirit and soul are damaged, and the essence of the golden elixir is severely damaged. It will take at least two years of recuperation to fully recover." Hong Yang said with a gloomy face.

"What should we do? They are in such a state that they can't participate in a life-and-death battle, right?" Hua Yu frowned.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we don't have these two losers. They are not our most core talents anyway. The rest of us are enough to deal with the Bafang Pavilion."

Hong Yang snapped his fingers and injected two streams of pure true energy into Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng's bodies, and the next moment they woke up.

"What's going on with you two losers?" Hong Yang asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Youwen quickly knelt before Hong Yang and tearfully recounted, "Two Elders, please forgive me. I never expected things to turn out like this. Junior Brother Xu Meng and I wanted to contribute to the sect, but unfortunately, our talents are mediocre and our strength is insufficient. We simply cannot compare with you, our senior brothers. So, we thought we'd cram and practice harder, but we didn't expect something to go wrong."

"Two elders, please allow us to participate in a life-and-death battle. Even if I am seriously injured, I am willing to fight for the sect and die without regrets!"

"Two elders, like Senior Brother Zhu Youwen, I am willing to participate in a life-and-death battle and contribute to the sect, even if I am seriously injured."

Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng were in tears, and their generous attitude towards the sect surprised Hongyang and Huayu.

"When did the Hehuan Sect have such loyal disciples?"

One knows his own sect best. The disciples of the Hehuan Sect are not very loyal to the sect. Even Hongyang and Huayu are not loyal to the Hehuan Sect.

Hong Yang's mind moved, and he immediately felt that Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng wanted to participate in the life-and-death battle to gain benefits. They must have known that the Hehuan Sect would win this time, so they wanted to participate in the life-and-death battle even if they were seriously injured.

The others thought the same thing, and everyone looked at Zhu Youwen and Xu Meng with contempt.

"Since you are injured, just stay and recuperate. You don't have to participate in the life-and-death battle. The rest of you, come with me to the Bafang Pavilion, and you stay here."

"Elder Hongyang, I can still fight... I really am willing to contribute to the sect..."

Hong Yang and Hua Yu ignored the two men completely, and took off from the base with the rest of the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect. Those talented disciples of the Hehuan Sect turned around and looked at the two men with contempt in the air, and then followed the two elders with a smug look on their faces.
