Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

There is a large open space in the center surrounded by the eight arenas, where the judges' seats are set up. From the judges' seats, one can clearly see the situation of the duel in each arena.

Directly above the open space, there are several 360° surround cameras suspended, which can clearly record the game situation without blind spots to prevent cheating and accidents.

With half an hour left before the competition, Lin Yusheng led the team to Jiang Cixi and the elders.

Jiang Cixi rubbed her head and said, "Ali, take them to the preparation area. The competition is about to begin."

Lin Yusheng nodded and led everyone to the preparation area.

It is said that there are a total of sixteen forces that have signed up to participate in the competition, so eight arenas have been set up on the field.

The first game should be a one-on-one promotion match, with sixteen forces competing against each other in pairs. The winner will advance, and the competitors will be determined by drawing lots. That means that if you are unlucky and draw a very strong force, you will most likely be eliminated directly in the first round.

In addition to the seven major clans, there are two nobles ranked in the top ten participating in the competition. So, apart from these nine major forces, who will be the remaining seven major forces?

Lin Yusheng was a little curious about this.

When they arrived at the entrance of the preparation area, she showed her competition token and the guard let them in.

A lot of forces had already gathered in the preparation area, and as soon as Lin Yusheng walked in, he heard someone utter the words "Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall".

She pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what the man said. Suddenly her eyes changed and she strode towards the group of people, "What were you talking about just now?"

The person who spoke was a young man from the Liu family.

The young man naturally knew Jiang Yusheng. When Jiang Yusheng asked him this, he immediately showed a trembling expression, "Miss Jiang..."

"What were you talking about just now?" Lin Yusheng asked seriously, "Did I hear correctly? You were discussing the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?"

The young man was nervous and his voice trembled. "Yes, Miss Jiang, you... don't you know? This time, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall is also participating in the competition."

"What?" Lin Yusheng frowned.

The young man pointed at seven or eight young men and women in the distance and whispered, "They are the team from the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

Lin Yusheng looked in the direction the young man pointed and saw that the seven or eight young men and women were all wearing the same black clothes and the same half-mask. They were very eye-catching in terms of their aura and dress.

Are they...people from the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas?

Lin Yusheng listened attentively, catching the silent voices of the people around him.

As expected, the sudden appearance of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas caused a lot of discussion.

"I really didn't expect that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall would actually participate in this competition. But weren't the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall the same group that robbed the Jiang family four years ago? How dare they come to the ancient city? Aren't they afraid of the Jiang family..."

"The people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall look really powerful. I heard that the Jiang family was defeated by them four years ago. Will the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall win the championship this time?"

"If the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall wins the championship, what will become of the Jiang family's reputation?"

"Respect? I'm afraid the Jiang family has long lost face in front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. Even the Jiang family's former head was no match for the master of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. The so-called first family was actually robbed by a detached organization. If this gets out, it's really a joke..."

There were all kinds of voices. The blatant appearance of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall was like a slap in the face of the Jiang family.

If Wanfo Temple really wins this match, the consequences...

"Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Lin Yusheng left the preparation area to find Jiang Cixi.

"Ali, isn't the game about to start? Why are you back?"

"People from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple are here. They are also participating in this ancient martial arts competition." Lin Yusheng said with a serious expression.

Jiang Cixi's expression turned cold when she heard this. "What did you say?"

Several elders also looked over and asked, "Miss, are you sure that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall has really signed up for this competition?"

"I saw them in the preparation area."

Jiang Cixi clenched her fingers, her expression grim. "What qualifications does the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall have to participate in the competition? And what does the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance think? Why didn't they tell me the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall would be there?"

Jiang Cixi stood up and walked towards the judges' seats.

Cheng Jianhua was sitting there.

Jiang Cixi came up to Cheng Jianhua and asked coldly, "Cheng Jianhua, why didn't you tell me that Wanfo Hall would participate in the competition?"

Cheng Jianhua looked at Jiang Cixi without changing his expression. "Miss Cixi, I didn't expect the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall to participate. This ancient martial arts competition is open to everyone. I have no reason not to allow the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall to participate."

Jiang Cixi's face was gloomy. "You should know what the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall has done. By allowing such a ruthless evil organization to participate in the competition, aren't you worried that they will disrupt the rules of the competition? Also, everyone knows that our Jiang family has suffered at the hands of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. Today, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall jumped out so blatantly. Isn't their intention obvious? How many people will be talking about our Jiang family behind our backs?"

Cheng Jianhua frowned, "Miss Cixi, what are your plans?"

"Have the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall withdraw from the competition. Don't let this force appear in the public eye again!" Jiang Cixi said with a scorching gaze, "Their motives for participating in this competition are definitely not pure! The entire Beihan Empire is watching this competition. If the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall wins, the blind following of the people will make this force even stronger. The stronger they become, the greater the threat they face the royal family and the seven major clans!"

This competition unexpectedly means that the Wanfo Temple plans to come out from the dark.

Are they worthy?

Having done something like that, you still want to win honor?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jianhua frowned and his expression darkened. "No, I'm not qualified to ask Wanfo Hall to withdraw from the competition."

Jiang Cixi smiled, "You are not qualified? You are the organizer."

"The rules of the competition state that all factions can participate, so the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall can naturally participate as well," Cheng Jianhua said. "Even if I'm the organizer, I can't arbitrarily order any faction to withdraw from the competition."

Jiang Cixi narrowed her eyes. "So no matter what I say, you won't let the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall withdraw from the competition, right?"

Cheng Jianhua didn't even look at her, "Yes."

Jiang Cixi took a deep breath and almost couldn't control her anger, so she was about to turn the whole stadium over.

She endured it again and again, looking at Cheng Jianhua, as if she understood something, with a chill in her eyes, "What a great Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, what a great Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall!"
