Chapter 394: The Reason and Surprising Conclusion

394 The Reason and Surprising Conclusion

*Stab*

Evelyn just pierced Riolet's heart. She was shocked when she realized she had stabbed him. Their fight just started when they swung their swords at the same time. But before their swords made contact, Riolet let go of his sword and let Evelyn's sword stab his heart.

"Gah!" He spat so much blood because of that.

"You… you…"

"Finally… I am sorry, your highness. Just before you came to us back then, Erol from Mount Hua Sect had met me. It was not him alone… he came with Hazel Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom.

"At that time, if there were only three of them, I was sure we could fight them. But he said they also had the backing of the Southern Kingdom. So, if it were at that point, we would be outnumbered.

"No… it must be because I had doubted your highness's prowess. If I knew Your Highness had such a prowess, I would immediately *Spat*... reject them. Your Highness, this Riolet Milian from Milian Family, has wronged you and knows his mistake.

"According to the law, I deserved death for this blunder. Your Highness, Please forgive the others as they are acting under my orders just to protect you... "Riolet suddenly took out two tokens from his space ring, "Your Highness, I only have two tokens in this competition.

"I should have three, but it is still in Nash's possession since they are keeping watch on us. I apologize for this blunder. Once again, I just hope your highness will forgive the others as well as my Milian Family. Our family is always loyal to the Royal Family."

"You… You…" Evelyn was too shocked as she never expected something like this.

*Spat*

Riolet had lost too much blood. He tiredly looked at his teammates, "After this, Please help her highness on my behalf and eliminate the Hazel Kingdom. Then all of you shall surrender and leave this competition."

"Yes. Leader." Riolet's teammates immediately saluted him. Some of them even could not help but tear up. They knew Riolet, as the first son of the Milian Family, only wanted to protect Evelyn since it was his mission. But because of many twists, Evelyn branded him as a traitor. Even so, in his last breath, he still shouldered everything on his shoulder.

After giving his order, Riolet freed himself from Evelyn's sword as he fell down to the ground while saying, "Your highness… forgive this subordinate…"

"I…" Evelyn was too shocked. She could not comprehend what happened just now. Her feet felt weak, and she slowly dropped to the ground.

Before she could comprehend what happened, Riolet's teammates immediately kneeled on one knee as they shouted in unison. "We shall accept the punishment for our blunder, your highness. Please, let us finish our captain's last order and eliminate the Hazel Kingdom."

After they said that, they disappeared and started engaging the Hazel Kingdom. Because they were outnumbered 3 to 1, Hazel could not make a good fight before they died.

When they saw Evelyn just sit down on the ground, they were bewildered. All of their doubts immediately answered when they saw Riolet's body on the ground as well as the people from Thiveapia Kingdom.

It was only a misunderstanding. And because Evelyn was consumed in rage, she refused to hear their explanation.

Mina gave Florinda the tokens as they agreed to fight Buddha Sect after this. After all, with all of these tokens, both Rainbow Flower Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect had seven tokens. Mina did not mind getting second place since she knew Evelyn's prowess, and the sect master had told her to do so.

But, they would need to get the tokens from the buddha sect. With both of them having seven tokens, there were still eleven tokens left. They did not know how many Buddha Sect or Southern Kingdom had at this point. So, they wanted to make their position safe by having the token from Buddha Sect.

Unfortunately, they also got another problem. Evelyn still sat on the ground and had no sign of moving. They also realized that the people from Thiveapia Kingdom had left the battlefield.

Suddenly, Florinda approached her from behind and placed her hand on Evelyn's shoulder.

"You did not do anything wrong. It was normal to have that kind of reaction. I am sure 'he' will also say the same."

"..." Evelyn did not say anything to her. All of them could see her tears, but they decided not to say anything.

Florinda sighed. They did not know what to do in this situation. If Alex was here, he might be able to solve it since he knew Evelyn better than them.

After a few more minutes, Evelyn finally said with a hoarse voice. "I am sorry… but, for Buddha Sect, I need you to lead the teams and fight them together with Mina and the others… I… I can't fight after this."

Florinda closed her eyes and sighed helplessly. She said softly, "Alright, we will chase the Buddha Sect right now. But I will leave Elise to guard you, okay?"

Evelyn did not say anything. She did not accept, but she also did not reject, so Florinda left Elise to accompany her since both of them were women.

Florinda then made the other get ready. Sadly, just before they started chasing the Buddha Sect, they finally noticed that darkness started enveloping the world. In other words, the sun had set, and the match was over.

It was at this time they heard an announcement.

"The match has officially ended. The first place is Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect with seven tokens. The third place is Buddha Sect with six tokens and the fourth place is Southern Kingdom with five tokens. As for the other influences, they are in the last place without any token. But because there are two influences that get the first place, we will hold another competition between Rainbow Flower Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect in the next day and push the competition for Martial Lord back a day. The rule will be explained tomorrow."

When they heard that, Florinda and Mina glanced at each other while making a weird look.

In the arena, Alex and Xiang Bai were shocked by the result. It was not because they took the same place with Rainbow Flower Sect, but because of the result of Buddha Sect.

They were observing all influences except the Southern Kingdom and Buddha Sect. At a later time, they started paying attention to Southern Kingdom as Heavenly Sword Sect met them. But, Alex was very surprised when they chose to fight together with the Heavenly Sword Sect, considering their past grudges.

But all in all, he only cared about the result. At the very least, he would not need to wipe them out from the map. Then he shifted his focus to Thiveapia Kingdom. At the very last breath, it seemed it was only a misunderstanding.

And since all of it had finished, he would just leave it to Evelyn. He started thinking about what he should say to Evelyn, whose heart was hurt.

As for the Zhou Kingdom, he already planned to kill all of the participants in this tournament, so he did not care about it since nothing changed. The one that changed was Mount Hua Sect, he and Xiang Bai decided to make sure Mount Hua Sect paid for this. Alex was even wondering whether he would kill their sect master or make him help the fight with Zhou Kingdom and that other influence. After so many considerations, he was still shifting in the former. But it was the decision for later.

"This is really a surprising result. To think we have two champions that will fight once more tomorrow. I really can't wait for it." The announcer said excitedly. "But the most surprising thing is Buddha Sect.

"We really took our eyes off them this entire time, and before we knew it, they had taken third place with only one token difference. This… I really want to ask what kind of plan Buddha Sect has devised for this competition? I am sure all of you also want to know it. So, without further ado, how about we ask Sect Master Glenn?"

The sect master of Buddha Sect was an old man with a bald head like a monk. He wore a yellow Buddhist robe. He raised one of his hands in front of his chest. Even though he was a Martial King, he humbly bowed his head and said, "Amithaba."

He then started explaining, "We don't have any plan for this competition. For the first place, Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect have fought many hard battles. And we even managed to see something inappropriate.

"Of course, I don't mean to question their decision. I just want to say that we are different. We, Buddha Sect, love peace the most. We choose to strengthen ourselves and follow the teaching of God.

"Just look at our score, without much hardship and gruesome war, our Buddha Sect has managed to get the third place with only a single token difference from those who fought many wars.

"Just take a look at this and imagine the situation on this continent. Kingdoms start a war to expand their territory, or Sects start a war to raise their strength. This is also the same as the battle you just saw.

"They had many wars to get the tokens. However, what about the result? Have you thought about it? We only have a single token difference. In other words, we could reach such a high place without any war.

"If peace comes to this continent, I am sure every influence will start to prosper, and the people will be happy. If you want to become one of us, please join our Buddha Sect so we can spread this teaching together.

"Amitabha."

Xiang Bai twitched his eyebrows while cursing, 'This old fox. He even used something like this as a promotion for his Buddha Sect. He hid his real intention with those flowery words, and I can't retort him since it will make our reputation bad."

"Oh! As expected of the sect master of Buddha Sect. Such a speech. I am really looking forward to where there is no more war on this continent." The announcer said, but before he started talking again. He stopped as he got another message from Honda Sana.

His expression became serious again as he announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly announced to you tomorrow's competition!

"The next competition will be the battle between Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect. There will be five battles that are divided into three 1 versus 1 battles, one 2 versus 2 battle, and one 3 versus 3 battle. The details for the competition will be announced tomorrow, including the rules. So, how about we have the sect masters from Heavenly Sword Sect and Rainbow Flower Sect to say something?"

Rainbow Flower Sect sect master, Cecilia, stood up as she looked at Alex before turning to Xiang Bai. "Although our sect has an alliance, we will still fight with the intention to win. Will that be alright, sect master Xiang Bai?"

Xiang Bai twitched his eyebrows as he glanced at Alex. He knew why she glanced at Alex first before turning to him because she was unsure about it. She threw that question to him since it would be weird if she suddenly asked a disciple for that.

Alex only gave a small nod. Xiang Bai then said, "Hmph, fine by me. The disciples of my sect are not weak."

The announcer then said, "Oh… what a statement from sect master Xiang Bai. I am sure all of you are also curious about the fight between the two sects. So, please come again tomorrow. We hope the two sect masters decide the position for tomorrow's battle as each disciple can only fight once. Let us end today with big applause."
