CHAPTER 324:That Is Something We'll Have To Wait And See (4)

The center of the podium, where the sect leaders of each sect were supposed to gather, was occupied by Heo Do Jinin.

Actually, the Abbot was supposed to be there, but today neither he nor Hyun Jong were there.

“Hm.”

Heo Do Jinin looked toward the stage.

“Huhu. Finally, the finals have come.”

“Isn’t this amazing? This is good no matter who wins.”

At the conversation around him, Heo Do Jinin narrowed his eyes.

‘This is a good thing?’

All nonsense.

No matter who won, nothing good could happen to the Nine Great Sects.

If Hae Yeon won this, Shaolin would strengthen their rule over the sects.

‘This match will decide how the next few decades will be.’

Most of the sect leaders who didn’t manage to make it to the finals tried to downplay the meaning behind this match-up, saying that this was just another spar.

But Heo Do Jinin wasn’t going to think that way.

‘I cannot do that.’

Shaolin’s Hae Yeon and Mount Hua’s Chung Myung were by no means people with just average skills.

Hae Yeon was already being evaluated as the talent which Shaolin got every few hundred years, and the same could be said of Chung Myung and Mount Hua.

To be honest, it wouldn’t be long until the day when the two got ahold of true authority and shook the world.

Therefore, this spar would determine how Kangho would run and serve as a chance to determine who would be the one with the upper hand in the future.

How could anyone downplay this?

Heo Do Jinin glanced around. Although the sect leaders were saying such things, they were all looking toward the stage with sharp eyes.

This meant that the results of this match would decide which direction they took.

Heo Do Jinin, who understood that, looked at the Abbot.

‘He must be so upset that things didn’t go as he wanted.’

The prevention of the Nine Great Sects coming to the finals with a clean win.

Perhaps that was the script he planned for Hae Yeon when this competition was started. Of course, it could be said that excluding the Nine Great Sects was successful, as they all had lost. Not a single disciple from the Nine Great Sects managed to reach the final1.

But a complete victory?

‘That depends on this spar.’

If Hae Yeon won, then Abbot’s plan would be perfect. No, it would be a lot more than what he had planned.

But what if he lost?

‘He’d rather be thinking he shouldn’t have brought up such a situation.’

If Hae Yeon lost to another disciple who belonged to the Nine Great Sects, he could at least save some face.

But if he lost to Mount Hua, which was kicked out of the group, then the Shaolin would be held responsible for their past actions.

And as this had already attracted the attention of many, Shaolin would have to face the consequences. And if they lose the finals, Shaolin would lose a lot and gain nothing.
