What is called "using a fox to intimidate a tiger"? Tian Ning is doing it right now!
She stood there alone, with twelve Elders behind her, so frightened that the Direct Disciples who had chased her all the way dared not act rashly.
Why did the Elders appear here?
It's impossible that they're on her side?! Everyone was frightened by this terrifying thought, and they shook their heads to dismiss it. It must be a coincidence; they accidentally stumbled into the place where the Elders were.
But...in this situation, should they continue to hunt Tian Ning, or should they run for their lives?
The Elders behind Tian Ning were also equally bewildered.
They thought that this girl, at most, would attract a dozen Direct Disciples, which would be a lot, but looking at the massive crowd in front of them, it's clear that besides Chief Senior Disciple's group, all the Three Sects' Direct Disciples have come!
The Elders barely maintained their composure, their hearts filled with turmoil.
What exactly did she do?
How could so many people be hunting her?!
The Three Sects' Elders looked at their familiar Direct Disciples, feeling extremely distressed. With so many eliminated, how many people are left in their Sects…?
Tian Ning, however, didn't give anyone time to process. She pointed at those Direct Disciples and honestly said, "Elders, act quickly! I've lured them all here as planned!"
What?!
Hearing this, the Direct Disciples were shocked and dismayed.
They wondered why she was so bold; it turned out that the Elders were backing her!
A Direct Disciple looked disappointed: "I didn't expect the usually amiable Elders to plot against us like this!"
The innocent Elders who were taking the blame: "..."
The Elders twitched their mouths; they really wanted to eliminate this girl immediately.
Elder Liu of the Fu Immortal Sect did just that. If not now, when?
He cast a talisman from under his robe, heading straight for Tian Ning!
Tian Ning, however, seemed to have anticipated it. Even though her back was turned to the Elder, she quickly dodged. This was unfortunate for the Direct Disciples in front of her. They formed a temporary team, and with so many people, it was difficult to dodge. Many had their Protective Magical Artifacts damaged by the talisman.
"As expected of an Elder! Your move is amazing,"
Tian Ning's loud voice reached the ears of the Direct Disciples: "Quickly! Eliminate them all!"
"!!!"
The Three Sects' Direct Disciples immediately went on high alert.
Elder Liu: "..."
Who can shut her mouth?!
This time, Elder Liu learned his lesson. He added a Magical Technique to the talisman that tracked Tian Ning. Even if Tian Ning dodged, the talisman would still follow her.
Who knew this troublemaker would charge straight into the crowd of Direct Disciples? The talisman followed her, going straight, turning, braking suddenly, and then accelerating again in the crowd. Unexpectedly, Tian Ning suddenly accelerated, and the talisman hit a Direct Disciple.
"Aaaaaah—"
With a scream, that Direct Disciple was eliminated.
Tian Ning somehow had a Jade Slip in her hand. She tossed it up and down, laughing, extremely provocative!
She deliberately approached that Direct Disciple!
Could they tolerate this?
Everyone was furious!
"Even if she has the Elders protecting her, she must die today!"
Elder Liu: "..."
Who's protecting her?!
Seeing the chaotic scene, Elder Xie of the Wanjian Sect didn't hesitate. Before attacking, he reminded, "Haven't we finished our objective? Let's finish that first, then deal with that girl."
He was right. After all, Tian Ning had perfectly blended into the Direct Disciples, moving so fast that she was a blur. Catching her would be troublesome.
The other Elders also thought it was feasible; they shouldn't let free performance slip away.
Even Elder Bai of the Fu Immortal Sect thought so. The Wanjian Sect's youngster was too cunning; he couldn't eliminate Tian Ning. He originally wanted to deal with Long Aotien, but that guy had also mixed in with the Three Sects' Direct Disciples!
Once the Elders made their move, the situation changed instantly.
Those were Transformation God Stage cultivators. With the disciples' current strength, they were no match for the Elders. In a few breaths, several Direct Disciples were eliminated.
Everyone was shocked. They had to be wary of Tian Ning and Long Aotien grabbing Jade Slips, while also watching out for the Elders. They cried out in distress.
"Run! Stop fighting!"
A clear-headed Direct Disciple shouted. Even if they had a chance of winning, they would be severely weakened.
Wenren Xue was unwilling: "Tian Ning is right there; just eliminate her…"
But no one paid her any attention. The Direct Disciples were already in disarray. Instead of gambling on a meaningless outcome, it was better to maintain the status quo.
Seeing the team scattering and fleeing, about to leave…
Tian Ning wasn't in a hurry to stop them. She looked up at the sky; it was almost time. It was time!
As a Direct Disciple was about to leave the forest, they bumped into a transparent Barrier.
"What's going on?!"
One after another, Direct Disciples collided with it, trying desperately to get out, but they couldn't.
"It's a Formation!" A Talisman Cultivator recognized it.
"What? How can there be a Formation here?!"
Before everyone could react, Beast Taming Sect Direct Disciples and some temporarily assembled Wanjian Sect and Refinement Sect Direct Disciples appeared outside the Formation.
Led by Zhou Han, they didn't hesitate; they charged into the Formation with their weapons and began attacking the allied Direct Disciples of the Three Sects!
"Are…are they crazy?!"
What's wrong with this world? Why do they keep encountering actions they don't understand?
Don't they see that the Elders are still inside? They can't get out, and these people...couldn't possibly hate them that much…
Now they're being attacked from three sides!
But soon they discovered that Zhou Han and his group didn't have any Jade Tokens!
No wonder they were fearless; these people could earn Points by eliminating others, but others couldn't eliminate them!
"Damn it! They're even more shameless than Tian Ning!"
Wasn't all their effort wasted?
Zhou Han: "..."
Actually, Tian Ning came up with this idea.
Give the Jade Tokens to one person, then let others engage in a fierce battle. Even their allies couldn't help but exclaim: This girl plays dirty!
The scene immediately descended into a massive brawl. Because there were too many people, it was hard to tell friend from foe.
Tian Ning's side didn't have Jade Tokens, so they didn't have to worry about Points and fought like mad dogs, fearless of death! Like troublemakers, they even provoked the Elders occasionally, truly arrogant!
Everyone was furious.
The Three Sects, who cooperated in Talisman, Pill, and Body cultivation, were at a disadvantage. They couldn't escape, and none of the Elders were eliminated. If this continued, they would be completely wiped out!
What to do, what to do…
Everyone was panicked!
Just then, Tian Ning appeared again!
She knew how to maintain a balance between both sides.
Tian Ning took out a loudspeaker talisman and shouted to the Direct Disciples: "Everyone, don't panic. Since we can't escape, why not fight back bravely!"
"An Elder is worth 30 Points. You'll be eliminated in disgrace and get nothing. Why not fight for it?"
"Charge! Take them down!"
The Three Sects' Direct Disciples: "..."
Why does what she says seem so reasonable?
The Elders: "..."
Isn't she on their side?
"
