Chapter 740: 740 Unbelievable, the Final Match! [2 more updates]

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the girl stepped into the live broadcast frame.

At that moment, the audience in front of their screens saw her enlarged face and the map fragment in her hand.

"..."

The barrage in the live stream instantly vanished without a trace.

The entire venue fell into a dead silence.

Mei En suddenly stood up, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the girl’s upright figure, as if she had discovered some rare treasure.

Si Minghe’s pupils contracted, and she uttered in disbelief, "This is impossible!"

She had already manipulated things to ensure Rong Si would be the primary target for all the ghosts in this cemetery.

It’s one thing for Rong Si not to die, but how could she come out unscathed?!

"What do you mean impossible?" Xing Yue sneered, "Are you saying that Rong Si coming out is impossible? If you did nothing, why are you so agitated?"

Si Minghe finally realized her slip of the tongue, and she clenched her fist tightly, forcing herself not to stand up, and said coldly, "I’m saying it’s impossible for someone with such pathetic skills to remain so calm."

"What, do you think you’re so great?" Xing Yue flexed her wrist, "How about we spar right now?"

A trace of fear flashed in Si Minghe’s eyes, "Trying to provoke me? Too bad, I won’t make a move outside of the competition. If you have the skills, come to the Si Family."

She lowered her head, her gaze becoming inscrutable.

Rong Si surviving was indeed unexpected; it seemed like she’d have to do it herself.

Claiming Rong Si’s life on the battlefield would be justified, and she could step on Rong Si in front of the audience.

Thinking of this, excitement burned in Si Minghe’s chest.

"Ms. Rong Si..." The host began to speak tremulously, "Is... is it really you?"

A powerful ghost could even possess a living person, so what if Rong Si wasn’t really herself at the moment?

"It’s me." Ye Wanlan waved the seven pieces of parchment map fragment before her, "Now, can the competition result be announced?"

The audience finally snapped out of their daze.

[!!!]

[Oh my God, Rong Si is alive! Not only is she alive, but she also got all the pieces of the parchment map!]

[I can’t imagine how strong she is; she might really win this session’s Spirit Summoning Battle!]

[The other nine were scrambling to get out, while only Rong Si strolled out leisurely. The gap between her and the others is like heaven and earth.]

[I declare, from this moment on, I’m a hardcore Rong Si fan!]

"Yes... Yes, yes, yes!" The host wiped cold sweat with a trembling finger, "Please, Ms. Rong Si, hand over the map fragments to me; I am responsible for verifying their authenticity."

Ye Wanlan casually stuffed the map fragments into the host’s hand.

The host, after confirming that the map fragments were real, felt a new wave of astonishment.

Because, according to the show’s plan, the occurrence of one person collecting all seven pieces of the map was never supposed to happen.

Yet, Rong Si completed this utterly impossible mission.

"Congratulations to our contestant number seventeen, Ms. Rong Si!" the host shouted, "She has gathered all the map fragments, making her the only victor, and she will face off with our nine seed contestants in the final match!"

Amidst the cheers, Mei En also clapped.

But many seed contestants, including Si Minghe, looked exceedingly grim.

Because they thought of something crucial—

If Rong Si is this formidable, what about Rong Qi, the Young Family Head of the Rong Family?

"Dare, dare to ask Ms. Rong Si, did you... did you encounter anything inside?" the host nervously asked, "And how did you come out? This is what all the audience is curious about, and I’m asking on their behalf."

"The reason I can still stand here is because Empress Valenkina protected me." Ye Wanlan looked directly at the camera, speaking calmly, "Without Empress Valenkina pointing the way, I wouldn’t have come out so easily."

This seemingly absurd statement quickly gained the favor of all Beilu People.

After all, in the hearts of the Beilu People, Valentina Vasilyev is a godlike presence.

[So it’s the blessing and protection of the Great Emperor! No wonder Rong Si could come out alive.]

[Our Empress Valenkina is always kind; it shows that Rong Si also gained her recognition and is a good person.]

[Oh my heavens, if Rong Si says this, could she have seen Empress Valenkina?! Is her spiritual power so strong that she can even see someone who passed away over two hundred years ago?]

[Impossible, she must be making it all up.]

"So it’s the Emperor’s blessing." The host smiled, "Ms. Rong Si is truly admirable."

Ye Wanlan maintained a calm demeanor.

She wasn’t lying; Valenkina indeed helped her.

"Lady Mei’en, this Rong Si uses the Emperor as an excuse for her sophistry." Si Minghe spoke up, "How can you allow her to spout nonsense here?"

Mei En lazily smiled, "Then tell me, how did she get out smoothly?"

"She..." Si Minghe was at a loss for words and had to shut her mouth.

"Marvelous, just marvelous." Suddenly, Victoria Store Monroe spoke, "No wonder Shenzhou has the saying ’The great hermit hides in the city’, there are always better people beyond."

Si Minghe’s expression turned uglier, as if she had swallowed a hundred dead flies.

The final match was approaching, and she would see how Rong Si could still have Valenkina’s protection this time!

**

An hour later, at the hotel.

"Ah Lan, you scared me to death." Xing Yue’s tightly-strung nerves finally relaxed, "That Si Minghe did something to you, clearly intending to take your life."

"Yes, I know." Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows, "But the ghosts couldn’t get near me, and her plan failed."

"Miss Ye is deeply blessed, much like Empress Valenkina, someone who even the ghosts fear." Rong Qi slowly said, "But both Xing Yue and I heard the wailing of ghosts; I’m not sure what that was..."

"It’s a long story." Ye Wanlan turned her wrist, "Let me show you this, and you’ll understand."

"Whoosh!"

In the next second, the banner three meters high appeared before the two of them, being held flat in Ye Wanlan’s hand.

Xing Yue and Rong Qi’s pupils contracted simultaneously, "The Summoning God Banner?!"

"Indeed, it is the Summoning God Banner." Ye Wanlan nodded, "The wailing you heard was because the Summoning God Banner devoured all those ghosts. Originally, I couldn’t reduce the Summoning God Banner to its smallest form, but with the power of these ghosts, now I can."

The Summoning God Banner can be as large as hundreds or even thousands of meters, or as small as a sewing needle.

This is the number one Holy Object of Mount Penglai.

"Let... let me touch it!" Xing Yue cautiously extended her hand, "It truly is the Summoning God Banner! How did the Summoning God Banner end up in the Northern Lands?"

Ye Wanlan gently shook her head.

She didn’t mention Valenkina, but Valenkina indeed did not tell her how the Summoning God Banner ended up in the Northern Lands.

"Where it is doesn’t matter; what matters is, it’s in our hands now." Rong Qi said, "Now, only the Vajra Cover remains unaccounted for."

"Yes." Ye Wanlan clasped her hands together, and the Summoning God Banner reduced to the size of a sewing needle, "We must find the Vajra Cover."

Gathering the three Holy Objects might allow her to meet Yue Zheng.

"Ah Lan, the final match is in two days." Xing Yue said gravely, "Apart from Mei En, everyone else will surely target you, be careful, Xiao Qi and I will protect you."

**

Two days later, at the Spirit Summoning Battle site.

The final match was divided into three rounds, with the first round being an elimination match.

The ten contestants faced off in pairs, and the winners would proceed to the next round.

The draw was held on site, but manipulating it would also be easy.

"First group, contestant number two, Si Minghe versus contestant number seventeen, Rong Si." The host announced, "We hope the two contestants will bring us an exciting match."

After confirming her opponent was Rong Si, Si Minghe let out a long breath.

She turned her head, revealing a malicious smile, "Rong Si, what a coincidence."

"Not a coincidence." Ye Wanlan smiled, "I’ve been waiting for you."
