On the rostrum, there were one hundred and eight branch sect leaders sitting, as well as an elder sent from the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Seeing Lu Chen come on stage, the leader of the fourth branch sect became furious and came out.
The strongest disciple of the fourth branch, Bai Ying, died because of Lu Chen. Although Bai Ying deserved his death, he still hated Lu Chen and blamed Lu Chen for Bai Ying's death.
"Lu Chen cannot represent the 108th branch!"
The leader of the fourth branch sect opened his mouth and said.
"Why?"
Zhuo Qing was very dissatisfied, and he also knew that the reason why the leader of the fourth branch targeted Lu Chen was not because of Bai Ying's death.
"One hundred and seven branch sect representatives, all true disciples, are all Tiangang realms. Are there no one left in your 108 branch sects? What kind of appearance would it be to have a disciple of the ninth level of Yuan Dan realm appear?"
The fourth branch sect leader said.
"There is no stipulated realm for the division competition. Why can't I let Lu Chen be the representative?"
Zhuo Qing said coldly.
"Although there is no explicit regulation, all participating disciples have always been in the Tiangang realm, without exception. This is the default rule of all branch sects."
The leader of the fourth branch sect also sneered, "Do you, Zhuo Qing, want to break the rules that have been established for tens of thousands of years?"
"Lu Chen's combat prowess is not below the Tiangang realm. He is the strongest disciple of my branch sect. If he has the fighting ability, he can go on the field. He will never embarrass my branch sect!"
Zhuo Qing said firmly.
"Having combat power does not mean having a realm. If word spreads, other sects will laugh at us."
The leader of the fourth branch glanced at the other branch leaders and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?"
"Judging from Lu Chen's record in Little Demon Cave, he is very powerful and has the potential to win the top three."
The leader of the first branch sect spoke first and said, "The problem is, if non-Tiangang realm disciples are allowed to play, what will other Tiangang realm disciples think? It will be chilling."
Zhuo Qing scolded the leader of the first branch sect ten thousand times in his heart. The old guy really knows how to say, if you are not afraid that Lu Chen poses a threat to Shangguan Jin, the ranking of the first branch sect is not guaranteed!
"Yes, the tacit understanding between our branches cannot be broken, otherwise it will affect our unity!"
The leader of the second branch sect also said quickly.
Zhuo Qing scolded the leader of the second branch sect again in his heart, unite your sister, you are talking nonsense just to keep the second ranking.
Ye E, the strongest disciple of your second branch sect, if she meets Lu Chen, I'm afraid she won't even be able to stand a blow from Lu Chen.
"That's right, our unspoken rule for tens of thousands of years is that Tiangang realm disciples come on stage and must not be broken!"
The leader of the third branch sect also said the same.
Zhuo Qing was angry on the spot. This old guy from the Third Branch also wanted to protect his subordinate Guan Ming.
"My fifth branch sect also feels the same way."
"My sixth branch agrees."
"Same as above for my seventh branch!"
"My eighth branch..."
All of a sudden, all the sect leaders expressed their opinions one after another, and they were unanimous in their opinions. They believed that Lu Chen could not be allowed to play, otherwise the rules would be broken.
Zhuo Qing was so angry that he almost turned over the table on the spot.
They are all a bunch of bastards, all of them are afraid of Lu Chen's fighting power and afraid that Lu Chen will break the original ranking of the branch sect.
"Elder Liao, look..."
Everyone spoke loudly, and no matter how reasonable Zhuo Qing was, he could not convince so many people, so he had to ask the elders of Xuantian Dao Sect for help.
"Zhuo Qing, Xuantian Dao Sect has one hundred and eight branches. Now there are one hundred and seven branches that oppose it. I won't study that much."
Elder Liao looked at Zhuo Qing and said, "According to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, I can't help you. You let that Lu Shen go down and pick another Tiangang Realm disciple to come up and fight."
"Elder Liao is wise!"
The leader of the fourth branch sect gave a flattering laugh and flattered him.
"I just act according to principles."
Elder Liao said calmly.
Even Elder Liao expressed his position in this way, so Zhuo Qing had no choice but to eat Huanglian as a mute, swallowing the pain himself.
Elder Liao came on behalf of the Xuantian Dao Sect and had great authority, so he could not afford to offend him.
Zhuo Qing got off the rostrum, called Lu Chen down from the ring, told Lu Chen the decision of the leaders of the sects, and expressed his regrets.
"These guys are probably afraid that I'll be number one."
Lu Chen turned around and glanced at the rostrum, the more he realized that the heads of the branch sects sitting on it were all sanctimonious hypocrites!
"It goes without saying that those bastards may have already studied you thoroughly, and they just don't want you to play, so as not to ruin the original ranking."
Zhuo Qing was very angry, but helpless.
He knew that Lu Chen was very powerful, even stronger than him. If Lu Chen played on the field, it wouldn't be difficult to get first place.
"Even if I don't play, they can't keep their ranking!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly and said, "Let Quan Sheng come on, I will take the first place and make those guys angry to death on the spot!"
Among Lu Chen's brothers, Quan Sheng is not the most outstanding. The ones who stand out are Shangguan Jin and Fei Long. These two are relatively good, one has super attack power and the other has super defense power.
But Lu Chen also taught Quan Sheng a lot of things, including the Beast Blood Body Forging Technique, the Light Control Step, and the key is the Flowing Light Spear Technique, which is a mid-level combat skill at the heaven level, enough to crush the heroes and easily win the first place.
As for Shangguan Jin...
Will he fight Quan Sheng?
Does he have the nerve to fight Quan Sheng?
As for the fat dragon...
Fei Long is a member of the Xuantian Dao Sect and cannot represent the branch sect.
Zhuo Qing also knew that there was no one else to choose from except Quan Sheng, so he quickly called Quan Sheng in to replace Lu Chen.
The next moment, an angry voice came out, making Zhuo Qing freeze on the spot.
"This person killed Bai Ying, my true disciple of the fourth branch of the sect. His hands are stained with the blood of his fellow disciples. He cannot go on the stage to compete with other fellow disciples!"
From the other side of the rostrum, the roar of the leader of the fourth branch sect was heard.
That's right, the leader of the fourth branch not only hates Lu Chen, but also Quan Sheng. He just wants to cause trouble and won't let these two people play.
"No matter what, killing fellow disciples is a sin."
The leader of the first branch sect has also joined in. Without Lu Chen, his true disciple Shangguan Jin is more certain to take first place.
However, he also got information that the true disciples of the 108th branch sect were in full swing. The guy at the bottom of the last competition actually broke through the Tiangang two poles. It is said that he was taught by Lu Chen, and his combat power improved by leaps and bounds.
Strong.
To be on the safe side, he didn't want to play in full glory.
"It is not appropriate to participate in the branch competition with your hands stained with blood from the same sect."
The leader of the second branch sect also joined in and opposed Quan Sheng's appearance.
His true disciple Ye E also broke through the Tiangang II pole, and he did not want to add another Tiangang II pole opponent to Ye E.
"Several branch sect leaders are right, Quan Sheng cannot play, otherwise he will be laughed at by other sects."
The leader of the third branch sect also said the same.
Guan Mingcai, the third branch sect, was able to break through the Tiangang two poles. He had the same idea as the leader of the second branch sect, and he could not create a strong enemy for his own people.
