Chapter 720: Long Haochen’s chance encounter (II)

Elder Ling’s smiling expression became more and more pronounced. Long Haochen’s domain integration not only made the domains of the three of them even purer, it also gave great benefits to their cultivations. Also, the six people’s united domains gave rise to a stronger side, putting them into an invincible position. This way, even if in the end the Priest Temple was eliminated earlier on, they could still perhaps surpass the Knight Temple and Mage Temple! This could be called a great opportunity, as they were originally supposed to get eliminated soon.

This was Long Haochen’s secret trump that he thought of after Long Tianying gave him a detailed description of the contest to take place within the Saint Bead.

His Light God Domain commanded all holy spiritual energy. In this domain contest, although gaps existed between the Six Great Temples’ powerhouses, these gaps were not too wide. By uniting with another side, he was sure to be the last remaining one. Bright Glimmer of Hope was originally in the top three of this domain battle in strength, but in a direct clash they wouldn’t necessarily achieve victory against the Knight Temple and Mage Temple. But with the addition of the Priest Temple, they gained a gargantuan advantage.

Long Haochen actually had several more choices. They could have relied on the Warrior Temple as well, after all Qiu Yonghao was also a light user. But the Warrior Temple’s three used different spiritual energy attributes, and relied on Qiu Yonghao’s stripping their fields to force things between them. This complicated things: the situation within the Spiritual Bead was frantic, and Long Haochen did not have such a wide energy. So he had no other choice but to give up on that option.

The next pick available were the Knight Temple and Priest Temple. The Knight Temple’s three powerhouses were also light users, and pretty close to Long Haochen. But don’t forget that these three were really strong. Long Tianying had his Divine Throne’s amplification and Yang Haoyu had the Starry Sky Domain. Long Haochen wouldn’t be able to subdue them so easily with his Light God Domain. And, the other Temples could very likely show dissatisfaction.

So Long Haochen finally figured he may as well pick the Priest Temple. The three priests’ gentle domains would show the least rejection in front of his Light God Domain, and the Priest Temple was originally in a weak position amongst the six Temples. Pulling them to his side would not affect the struggle between the Knight Temple and Mage Temple.

Long Haochen chose a timely decisiveness, right when the Priest Temple was about to get eliminated. This way, the Priest Temple showed a much higher acceptance toward his Domain’s assimilation.

This avoided them the embarrassment of having to quit.

Long Haochen’s plan was without doubt a success. Seeing the smile on elder Ling’s face relaxed him greatly. Their new state of stability and benefitting from the Light God Domain’s amplification stabilized the three priests’ domains. The verdict was clear.

Long Tianying shot a glance to Long Haochen with a gloomy feeling, secretly thinking, This brat is actually taking advantage of the Priest Temple in such a way. Even if he couldn’t unite with Brother Yang’s domain, he should have consulted us ahead of time, just have Brother Yang quit and that’s all.

However, his gloominess only continued for a short time before he returned to normal. He secretly found the situation funny: if his grandson really did so, they could be afraid that the other five Temples’ would show a collective disagreement. This guy was really intelligent!

The domain battle kept going with no suspense, and an hour later, the Assassin Temple and Spiritual Temple withdrew in succession.

The Knight Temple, Mage Temple, and the side formed by Long Haochen and the Priest Temple stood in confrontation.

This time, neither of the three parties gave a way out. Long Haochen calmly and relaxedly controlled the united domain’s defenses, showing no traces of panic. Neither the Knight Temple nor the Mage Temple would, upon contact with their domain, induce a large consumption.

However, he had some bias in him after all. When the Knight Temple’s side rammed in, because they were light element users as well, they had far smaller consumption than the Mage Temple’s united magic side. When Long Haochen and Cai’er’s mixed domains occasionally appeared, every one of the Divine Purification Light’s attacks ecffectively weakened these two Temples. The fact that the Priest Temple’s three powerhouses had loosened control over their domain to hand its control over to Long Haochen really gave him the strongest backing possible.

Under these circumstances, the outcome came with no suspense. When the day was dimming, the three powerhouses form the Mage Temples were finally expelled from the Saint Bead.

The Mage Temple having having already gotten beaten, the Knight Temple had no reason to keep persisting, anyway they had no way to stand above Long Haochen’s group.

Therefore the three knights simply gave up directly.

Afterwards, Long Haochen’s three and the Priest Temple separated their union, and the three powerhouses from the Priest Temple voluntarily renounced with no hesitation, Long Haochen, Cai’er and Chen Ying’er finally departing the Saint Bead at the end.

The match being over, results were announced. When the Warrior Temple’s head Qiu Yonghao returned to the field, his complexion was just as unsightly… twenty-four points was simply the lowest score in history.

The chief referee Chen Zidian announced, “The domain battle of the Temples’ Great Gathering has ended. Number one is Bright Glimmer of Hope, number two, Priest Temple, number three, Knight Temple, number four, Mage Temple, number five, Spiritual Temple, number six, Assassin Temple, and number seven, the Warrior Temple.

“In view of this year’s addition of Bright Glimmer of Hope, and after consultation with the elected staff, the number one’s reward has been increased to six hundred, and the last five’s gradually falling down to hundred, with the last position receiving none.

“The point counts are as follows: Bright Glimmer of Hope, 1042, Knight Temple, 698, Priest Temple, 620, Mage Temple, 555, Spiritual Temple, 378, Assassin Temple, 164, Warrior Temple, 24.”

The gap between Bright Glimmer and the rest aside, the Priest Temple could be described the greatest winner aside from Bright Glimmer of Hope, having surpassed the Mage Temple in one move, by rising to the third position. Such a grand event had never happened in the History of the Temple’s Great Gatherings; for a moment, both the Priest Temple’s head Ling Xiao, and elder Ling were beaming with joy. Their looks toward Long Haochen’s crew were full of goodwill.

Chen Zidian kept going, “Tomorrow, the last stage will be going. Due to the high quantity of contestants, and the permitted use of equipment, the battlefield will be the sky.”

The individual competition had already had the field wrecked out, to say nothing of a team competition. That would be ten against ten, in battles with no restrictions in equipment.

With a few divine tools additionned to the drive of several powerhouses of the ninth step, to say nothing about the Temples’ Great Gathering’s field, even Holy City could as well be torn open by them.

So having the team battle stage go on an aerial stage, and that must be at far altitude and far from Holy City.

“Chief referee.” Right at this time, Chen Hongyu stepped up, nodded lightly to Chen Zidian.

“So? You have something to say about that Hongyu?”

Chen Hongyu unhappily claimed, “Chief referee, I trust that you have seen the process of the previous domain battle. I believe the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope to have not won fairly.” Seeing the Priest Temple stand above them, Chen Hongyu once again took offense.

“Is that really so? Alright, then please express your views, you contestants from the other Temples. Tianying, you start.” He shifted his glance toward Long Tianying.

Long Tianying replied with a tranquill smile, “I have not seen Long Tianying pull out any dishonest trick. Although we also lost, I am sincerely convinced in my loss. I am indeed his grandfather, but will still speak my view. Let me ask all of you, even if you knew about this method, who of you could having done it? I can say that I couldn’t. Long Haochen’s strong control over his domain enabled him move unhindered within the whole Saint Bead, absorbing the three domains of the Priest Temple in a flash with control and integration. That was a display of unconditional strength. Let me ask once again, would any of you have acted differently in front of the same good chance? When left with the choice to either drop out or join hands with Bright Glimmer of Hope.”

Hearing Long Tianying’s response, the nearby elder Ling lightly smiled, “Tianying is not mistaken. First putting aside how Haochen achieved it, no one else would have refused such a good deal! We can be considered having taken part in Bright Glimmer of Hope’s brilliance this time.”

The Assassin Temple’s Sheng Yue laughed indifferently, shooting Chen Hongyu a glance, responding disdainfully, “Leave it at that you’re no good. Why blame this and that legit thing? What a lacking character!”

“What did you just say?” Chen Hongyu erupted in a burst of anger, glaring at Sheng Yue.

These two were originally not getting along well, Adding to that the factor of the Spiritual Temple and Assassin Temple’s opposite sides in the Temples’ Great Gathering, Chen Hongyu could be said to have really become agitated.

Sheng Yue did not give the slightest leeway, “So what? Want to fight a duel with you’re unconvinced?”

“Enough.” Chen Zidian shouted, instantly extending a uncorporeal pressure to the whole stage. Almighty person was not just a simple name.

“How about you, Yonghao?” Chen Zidian shifted his glance to Qiu Yonghao. Three of the six Temples had already expressed their approvals of Bright Glimmer of Hope.

Qiu Yonghao showed a bitter smile, “Back then, we were already eliminated, and have no clear knowledge of the events that followed within the Saint Bead. Our Warrior Temple is abstaining from expressing our views.”

As the Mage Temple’s best comrade, Qiu Yonghao couldn’t directly support the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope this time. But he had his own view: in the midst of disappointment, he had a few thoughts. For the sake of the Warrior Temple’s future, he must plan ahead, first of all by not offending the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. They absolutely didn’t expect their strength to reach such lengths. After three stages, they were in the lead with over a thousand points. Both the Knight Temple and Mage Temple would find it close to impossible to reverse the stakes in the final stage. Long Haochen’s powerful Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, and the divine tools the three of them showed today, were all demonstrations of Bright Glimmer of Hope’s great assets.
