Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 154: The Gentle Ye Wenxin Kicks People Online

"Without saving for you, when will you ever..." Dark Eyes began, her frustration mounting, only to be cut off as a senior sect member bellowed the start of the competition.

At that moment, everyone charged toward her.

Dark Eyes, having learned the art of Mizong Bu (Lost Track Steps) from Ye Wenxin, was adept at evasion. Amidst the oncoming Cangyu Sect disciples, she maneuvered effortlessly without harming anyone.

Ye Wenxin, meanwhile, was aided by her loyal followers, who sprang to her defense against Dark Eyes. The scene brimmed with chaos, drawing even Long Qingyue's attention, who couldn't help but smile slightly at the spectacle.

"You're attacking the wrong person! Don't waste your energy, target the disciples from Shenwang Ling!" Ye Wenxin called out, amused yet exasperated, directing her group to confront the real threat.

Though puzzled, her followers heeded her command, launching an assault on the intended targets. Even the elite struggled against the sheer number of Cangyu Sect disciples and were soon subdued.

The battle tilted heavily in favor of Cangyu Sect, leaving all outsiders gritting their teeth in frustration, powerless to change the outcome.

After all, such chaos was a hallmark of the Grand Immortal Sect Gatherings, a tradition that had persisted through countless iterations.

"Apologies, our sect has quite a few people this year," the Cangyu Sect Master chuckled, showing no remorse for the situation.

Other sect leaders wore strained smiles, internally cursing the unknown sect that had started this trend, yet knowing the chaotic mixed battles in the early rounds were unavoidable.

In mere moments, the battle stabilized, and those still standing on the platform were declared the winners of the first round.

Ye Wenxin was among the first batch of winners, having cleverly concealed herself amid the chaos. As the dust settled, she stretched leisurely, appearing quite content.

Yet a new question troubled her: How did Fairy Feng Ya plan to sabotage opponents unknown even to her?

Reflecting on Fairy Feng Ya's demeanor the previous night, Ye Wenxin found herself unable to fathom her intentions. What was the martial fanatic so obsessed with, and where was she now?

Distracted, Ye Wenxin followed the elder's command to draw lots for the second round matchups.

The second round was a team battle, with groups of five. Ye Wenxin quickly met her teammates but was disappointed.

None of the four were familiar, and their cultivation was unremarkable. What irked Ye Wenxin most was their dismissive attitude toward her as an outer disciple.

For the sake of the overall plan, they reluctantly assigned her a position, intending for her to act as a decoy to draw enemy fire.

The tournament's practical nature meant that each match was set in different elemental arenas like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Luck could place one in a favorable arena aligned with one's spiritual roots, making a significant difference.

Although not elaborated in the text, spiritual roots varied, with some blessed with multiple types. Ye Wenxin, however, possessed all elements, known as a full spiritual root.
