Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Tampering

"Group Thirteen."

Lin Yi glanced at the results of the draw, his heart unconcerned.

However, Lu Qingcheng beside him noticed something amiss, "Lin Yi, it seems like there are quite a few strong competitors in your group!"

Only then did Lin Yi look toward the Battle Platform area of Group Thirteen, where a large group of young experts had already gathered.

Among them were indeed several powerful presences!

"Number nineteen on the Central Province King List, Jing Wuyi."

"Number ten, Taishi Hong!"

"And number four, Hao Jiuyou!"

Lu Qingcheng’s expression grew increasingly ugly.

How could Lin Yi’s group have so many highly ranked competitors from the King List?

It could be called the group of death!

Clearly, something was amiss, someone was meddling in the shadows!

"This is too much!"

All members of the Lan Hua Society were filled with righteous indignation, looking toward their leader, Yan Qingrou, "Senior Sister Yan, this is clearly someone trying to target Brother Lin Yi deliberately!"

"We must report this to Lord Grand Minister and expose this issue!"

"This indeed seems like someone has tampered with the proceedings."

Yan Qingrou nodded, then turned to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, what do you think? If needed, I can report this to Lord Grand Minister."

"I’ll go with you!"

Lu Qingcheng also stepped forward, with Yan Qingrou as the Holy Daughter of Taiyi Holy Land, and herself as the Treasure Body of the Luo Family, speaking together would carry more weight.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi simply waved his hand, "There’s no need for that."

"Who arranged for me to be in this group? I might actually have to thank them!"

The members of the Lan Hua Society, upon hearing this, were utterly baffled, arranging for so many strong opponents clearly meant trouble for you, and yet you thank them?

Lin Yi explained with a smile, "In the first round of the Fixed Rank Battle, there are only ten battles. The Golden List Spirit will score based on the performance in these battles to determine the rankings of the first round."

"That is to say, the better the combat performance, the higher the ranking in the first round."

"The kind brother who arranged for so many strong opponents for me, if I defeat all of them, wouldn’t I be able to rush into the top five immediately? It’s actually saving me a lot of trouble."

While the Lan Hua Society members were stunned by Lin Yi’s unique perspective, they couldn’t deny that Lin Yi was not wrong!

However, the premise is that Lin Yi’s strength is invincible enough to defeat all these young champions in Group Thirteen!

Can Lin Yi do it?

Yan Qingrou solemnly nodded, "If you can defeat them all, then reaching the top five in the rankings should be no problem."

"Are you sure you don’t want to report this to Lord Grand Minister anymore?"

Lin Yi shook his head again.

His goal was the number one spot on the Central Province King List. If he couldn’t even get past this group of death, what was he fighting for first place for?

Might as well be crushed early on!

"This kid, doesn’t he realize something is wrong?"

Not far away, Hao Yama observed that Lin Yi showed no signs of action, and a hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"If he complains to Lord Grand Minister, it might cause some trouble."

"So what if he discovers it?"

Ye Kurong sneered coldly, "Who decreed that a group of death cannot emerge?"

"Besides, this grouping is not too outrageous, Lord Grand Minister probably won’t bother with such a trifling matter."

Even if it was discovered, Ye Kurong wasn’t afraid, being the direct descendant of the Grandmaster, a small maneuver like this wouldn’t worry him, as the Grandmaster and the Grand Minister were both among the Four Assistants of the Holy Dragon Dynasty, surely this little favor would be granted.

"Are you up to it? If the suppression fails, we’ll both become the laughing stock."

Ye Kurong looked coldly at Hao Yama.

This minor manipulation he orchestrated seemed covert, yet definitely wouldn’t escape Cang Wuji and others. If it backfired, it would be a total disgrace for him.

"Don’t worry, aren’t you confident in my strength?"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Hao Yama’s eyes, "I must make him realize, dreaming of entering the top ten after offending my Jiuyou Demon Hall, pure delusion!"

"How the hell did I end up in the same group as both Ye Kurong and Lin Yi?"

Among the crowd, Taishi Hong’s face was grim, not expecting to find himself in this group of death, encountering two supremely talented demons from the First Echelon!

What kind of luck was this?

"No way!"

Taishi Hong quickly realized something was off, spotting a hint of impropriety. With more than fifty groups gathered in the arena today, how could his luck be so abysmally bad, ending up in the same group as two supreme demons?

Someone definitely tampered with the draw!

But, those who could manipulate the draw of the Fixed Rank Battle, who else could they be but significant figures?

He probably couldn’t provoke them!

Who could it be, then?

Although at the moment Taishi Hong couldn’t pinpoint exactly who, he could guess within a certain range.

That would be a few of the top contenders on the King List!

Only, he wondered when had he offended them?

"This Ye Kurong kid, always causing trouble for this old man."

The Grand Minister naturally noticed the anomaly in Group Thirteen, his expression slightly displeased, "If not for the sake of his grandfather, I would teach him a lesson."

Cang Wuji commented indifferently, "He and Hao Jiuyou seem to be targeting that young man called Lin Yi."

"Lin Yi?"

The Grand Minister’s gaze locked upon Lin Yi amidst the many figures, "This young man has just entered the First Echelon, is he worth their combined efforts?"

"Every effect has its cause."

Cang Wuji said, "Ye Kurong and Hao Yama wouldn’t inexplicably hate Lin Yi; they must have suffered a loss at his hands before, and now they just seek revenge."

"Are you saying that both of them have faced defeat at Lin Yi’s hands?"

A peculiar expression flashed across the Grand Minister’s face, "This young man, he has such capabilities?"

If both Ye Kurong and Hao Yama suffered losses at his hands, wouldn’t that mean Lin Yi’s strength is at least in the top five of the King List?

Is that possible?
