on the rostrum.
Bao Yunxing quickly recovered from his silence, put aside his distracting thoughts, remembered the important matter, and asked in a deep voice, "You went to ask Long Xi, what did she say?"
Upon hearing this, the four marquises' attention shifted back from the competition. Each had their own thoughts, but they all understood that what followed was the real highlight of the day.
Meng Tianxiang's tone also became serious: "Replying to the Alliance Leader, after Long Xi saw the photo of contestant Muyue, he personally swore to admit that the contestant in the photo is the legendary leader of the Moon Worship Cult."
"Furthermore, our investigation into this contestant, Mutsuki, revealed that all her registered data had been altered and falsified. We suspect that this was done by the ultimate form of the Moon Worship Cult's Moon-Defying Saintess, Loshi: Machine-type Zero-of-All-Forms."
"Currently, she is in the players' lounge at Getsuyouin Academy, watching the match with her teammates, and has not shown any unusual behavior."
"But... we still don't know why she came."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yunxing softly recited, "Muyue, Yuemu, Yuemu."
"Just as I thought."
After a few seconds of silence, Bao Yunxing asked, "So, what do you all think we should do to handle this matter?"
"Is there a good solution?"
The voice just fell.
Lei Ying spoke first: "In my opinion, we should wait until all the matches are over and the audience has left before taking action. With the five of us working together, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to take him down."
Bao Yunxing rejected Lei Ying's blunt suggestion almost instantly: "You've all seen the strength of that Nine-Turn White Moon Silkworm Immortal with your own eyes. If we really start fighting here, not only will the Alliance headquarters be destroyed, but this Ten Thousand Beasts City right here will probably be destroyed as well."
"Beast City will be devastated by then, and even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory that leaves both sides severely damaged."
"Moreover, as the party that took the initiative to provoke the war, we, as the source of all this disaster, are likely to lose the support of Heaven and the people."
Lei Ying scoffed, "So we're just going to stand by and watch her dominate the academy league?"
"If the evolutionary path of these promising talents is cut off for this reason, wouldn't that be an undeserved disaster?"
At this moment, Manzhu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and agreed with Bao Yunxing's point of view: "I don't think it's a problem. This sacrifice is nothing compared to the lives and fortunes of the millions of beast tamers in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"Truly powerful beast tamers and their pets will never be completely defeated by a single failure and stop progressing."
Lei Ying was speechless upon hearing this.
A few seconds later, Lei Ying gave a soft snort: "You're quite open-minded, just selling your precious daughter so readily."
According to the schedule, Manzhu's daughter, Manluo, is the only one among the descendants of the four marquises who has been placed in the same half of the bracket as Muyue. At the earliest, she will face Muyue in the next round.
None of them expected that Manzhu would be so righteous, and that she would not hesitate to sacrifice her daughter.
To be precise, Manluo has never been defeated since her debut.
It would be a real shame to lose like this.
After a few seconds of silence, Bao Yunxing looked at Meng Tianxiang, who hadn't spoken yet, and... well, she automatically ignored Lin Yan, who seemed to have a lot to say.
"Tianxiang, what do you think?"
Meng Tianxiang replied, "I think Manzhu has a point. Regardless of their true intentions, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it."
"Since the leader of the Moon Worship Cult is in such a good mood, let's just let her have her fill."
"Moreover, as long as she doesn't win the final championship, it won't really ruin this league."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yunxing clapped his hands and chuckled, "So, you're saying you have a good way to get this sect leader to quit halfway through?"
Bao Yunxing thought to herself, Meng Tianxiang is really good at this. She wanted to hear what kind of brilliant plan it was.
It would be best to resolve the issue peacefully; she had no intention of starting a full-scale war with Mutsuki in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
As for whether having an old guy infiltrate the academy league would affect fairness, not only did she not care, but as far as she knew, most of the audience in Yue Lanzhou wouldn't care either.
The more chaotic the situation, the more interesting it became for them.
This is the simple and honest folk custom that has been passed down in Lanzhou since ancient times.
However, Meng Tianxiang shook her head: "It can hardly be called a good strategy. In fact, we don't need to do anything at all."
Bao Yunxing was taken aback: "You don't have to do anything?"
"Yes, you don't have to do anything."
Meng Tianxiang smiled slightly and continued, "This year, a very talented newcomer has emerged."
"I think it would be quite exciting if the final was a match between her and Mutsuki. It's really hard to say who would win or lose."
"Perhaps this league will be the most exciting one ever."
Bao Yunxing was taken aback at first, then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes twitched slightly, and he asked, "It wouldn't be that Xue Youyou, the one you and Lei Ying prematurely bestowed the title of Ten Heavenly Kings upon, would it?"
Meng Tianxiang nodded frankly: "That's right."
This time, before Bao Yunxing could speak, Lin Yan, who had been holding back for a while, scoffed first, "Are you crazy?"
"A mere beginner who hasn't even reached the Ultimate Realm, expecting her to defeat the leader of the Moon Worship Cult?"
"Since you're so fond of her, tell me honestly, is she really your illegitimate daughter?"
Meng Tianxiang showed no anger at Lin Yan's barking, but calmly replied, "If she really is my illegitimate daughter, that would be good."
"As for questioning her strength, there's no need for that. To be honest, Long Xi wasn't defeated by Lei Ying and me working together; she was defeated single-handedly by this little newbie you look down on."
"Lei Ying and I just happened to pick up a bargain along the way."
Meng Tianxiang chose this moment to tell the truth.
Upon hearing this, apart from Meng Tianxiang and Lei Ying, the other three people's pupils dilated in shock.
Bao Yunxing's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "A noble's word is law. Do you know what you're saying?"
The ultimate form of reverse attack? She wouldn't even dare to dream of such an absurd thing!
Meng Tianxiang shrugged and said calmly, "Lei Ying and I were both there at the time; I wasn't the only one who witnessed it."
Lei Ying nodded in agreement, frankly admitting, "Although it's hard to understand, that's exactly what I've seen. This young friend's strength is likely above mine!"
Seeing that Lei Ying also personally admitted to seeing it with her own eyes and gave such a high evaluation, Bao Yunxing, Lin Yan, and Manzhu were all greatly shocked and looked at Xue Youyou on the stage with surprise and doubt.
At this moment, Xue Youyou encountered a small problem.
She was caught red-handed by Meng Yanqing, who had just come on stage.
Meng Yanqing grabbed Xue Youyou's wrist, looking at her with a face full of grievance, and asked from the depths of her soul: "Youyou, tell me the truth—was the 'Return to Sheath' technique you taught me diluted?"
