Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Slandering Someone_1

The competition continued, and Su Chengyu’s opponent was from Danyang, Guo Junliang, the son of Guo Yijian. However, this was not Su Chengyu’s behind-the-scenes manipulation; he only helped Qin Muge to get the eighth number ball, and he did not bother to touch any of the other good-numbered balls.

"It’s Su Cheng again! A narrow road meets a rival! This guy really has a grudge against our Danyang Dragon Soul Department. Failing to get rid of him at Zhuo Family was our biggest regret."

Guo Yijian held high hopes for his son, especially since Jiang Yongqi had already been eliminated. Guo Junliang was the second seed from Danyang, and Guo Yijian looked deeply displeased.

Guo Junliang also did not engage in battle with Su Chengyu but directly conceded. He was aware that Su Chengyu had a grievance with his father, and he feared that Su Chengyu would take the opportunity to inflict serious injuries on him, so he thought that if he couldn’t win anyway, it would be better to admit defeat directly.

When the round of the competition ended, the top eight were announced. Three from Feng Yang advanced, one from Danyang, three from Jiangdong, and one from Jiangnan advanced, with Jianghuai eliminated.

Qiu Ji encountered the weakest of the fourteen contestants and advanced smoothly.

Seeing these results, Liang Youdao and Yin Huan simultaneously protested, accusing Su Chengyu of cheating by manipulating the drawing process through the divine sense technique of cultivators, ensuring both Qiu Ji and Qin Muge’s entry into the top eight.

In response to the accusations and complaints from Liang Youdao and Yin Huan, Su Chengyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to accuse me of cheating, you need to provide proof. Otherwise, you’re giving birth like a woman."

"What does that mean?" Yin Huan was momentarily perplexed.

Qin Siyuan added, "It means slander."

Many in the audience couldn’t help but burst into mocking laughter. Liang Youdao and Yin Huan’s faces instantly darkened.

As Grand Airspace Officers, they had lost a lot of face from this Dragon Soul Conference and had repeatedly been humiliated, which was incredibly frustrating!

"Grand Minister, Su Cheng has cheated and has been insubordinately outspoken. We hope the Grand Minister will discern the truth and deliver justice." Xu Jianglong loudly added.

"If you’re going to accuse Su Cheng of cheating, you need to provide evidence. Do you have any?" He Lian Xuan asked with an authoritative expression.

"Um... Su Chengyu is a cultivator and has the power to tamper with the draw unnoticed. How else could it be such a coincidence that the only two people of Fifth Grade Grandmaster to go to the top eight are his?" Guo Yijian continued.

"So you have no evidence, it’s just an unfounded guess. As Grand Airspace Officers, you shouldn’t be playing such baseless guessing games. It’s unbecoming and embarrassing." Su Chengyu retorted.

"Grand Minister...."

"That’s enough! Without any evidence, we should not continue discussing this. Bear your status in mind and refrain from any shameful acts."

He Lian Xuan’s stern reprimand immediately silenced them. Their accusations didn’t just fail but ended up making them lose face.

Wang Chaozong, the Grand Airspace Officer of the Feng Yang Dragon Soul Department, turned to his deputy Wen Shengguo and said, "Liang Youdao and his peers are extremely foolish. Have they not realized after all these days that the Grand Minister is biased towards Su Cheng? They are acting without understanding the situation and only end up disgracing themselves."

"Their minds are clouded by anger at being played by Su Cheng! Yin Huan has been demoted, Xu Jianglong has also been punished, and the Danyang side, their performance in this competition has been disastrous. All of this can be traced back to Su Cheng. It’s no wonder they targeted him so relentlessly."

The Feng Yang Dragon Soul Department had no involvement with Su Cheng and stood impartial; they therefore saw the situation even more clearly.

He Lian Xuan reprimanded them and then slowly sat down. An hour’s break was announced by the referee.

Three from Jiangdong advanced to the top eight, just like the Feng Yang Dragon Soul Department, which naturally brought them great joy. Qin Siyuan also knew that without Su Chengyu, Jiangdong would never have won so much in this Dragon Soul Conference. He felt extremely grateful to Su Chengyu and secretly celebrated that he had befriended Su Chengyu instead of offending him.

Looking at the current predicament of Liang Youdao, Yin Huan, and others, Qin Siyuan realized that in the eastern region, Su Chengyu was someone he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend, or else the outcome would be disastrous.

If someone as strong as Liang Youdao or Yin Huan could be left in such a sorry state, there was no question what would happen to others.

An hour later, the competition continued. In the top eight draw, Su Chengyu’s opponent was Zhang Yingjie, the number one seed from the Jiangnan Dragon Soul Department. Su Chengyu eliminated him directly, while Qin Muge’s opponent was Qiu Ji. Both of them understood when they saw their slip of paper that with the two of them matched together, at least one of them would get into the top four.

Qin Muge and Qiu Ji being paired up was, naturally, Su Chengyu’s behind-the-scenes manipulation. Such competitions could hardly be considered entirely fair, and he would, of course, help his people.

A rising tide lifts all boats. In a competition that was not entirely fair, it was only reasonable to help one’s own people and suppress those who had crossed him. Su Chengyu did just that openly, unafraid of others’ criticism.

He sought freedom and carefreeness in his cultivation. As long as it did not violate serious principles, why should he care about worldly criticism?

If he had to hesitate and consider principles in every small matter, he might as well give up cultivation. Cultivation was a cruel practice; the only rule was survival, going against the heavens.

In the end, Lee Longqing and another from Feng Yang advanced, with Danyang and Jiangnan being eliminated. Meanwhile, Su Chengyu and Qiu Ji from Jiangdong advanced into the top four.

Before Qin Muge and Qiu Ji left to go on stage, they had agreed to compete fairly without giving deference to each other. However, once the referee declared the start of the fight, Qin Muge voluntarily conceeded, to Qiu Ji’s surprise.

After stepping down from the stage, Qin Muge explained quite simply that she was still young and had many chances to participate in the Dragon Soul Conference. Qiu Ji, on the other hand, would only have the opportunity to participate once more, so she was willing to give him the chance.

"Mu Ge, thank you. You’ve allowed me to leave a proud achievement on the stage of the Dragon Soul Conference. Although this achievement was achieved with some assistance, it’s still my glory," Qiu Ji sincerely said.

A high ranking in the Dragon Soul Conference was a great merit, and also came with better rewards for cultivation. This was very beneficial for Qiu Ji.

With the top four decided, the fourth day of the Dragon Soul Conference came to an end, and the semi-finals and finals would take place the next day.

Although Liang Youdao and Yin Huan and others were full of grievances and complaints, they had calmed down by now and could only admit defeat, watching as Jiangdong reaped excellent results from this Dragon Soul Conference.

All they could hope for was that Lee Longqing could harshly defeat Su Cheng in the final the next day, crushing and humiliating him to check his unstoppable momentum.

Although Yin Huan had agreed to a decisive duel with Su Chengyu, he had realized afterwards that He Lian Xuan would definitely interfere and not allow their duel to proceed. Thus, he would naturally have no opportunity to make a move on Su Chengyu.

"Su Cheng, you villain! Enjoy your success while you can! Tomorrow, you will be brought down. It doesn’t matter that you’ve eliminated us all through despicable means; you won’t end up as the champion!" Liang Youdao, Guo Yijian, and others angrily shouted, their eyes red with jealousy.
