Crane Heroes and Lovers (1)

Seven days later—

This year’s Martial Conference has ended up being the longest in history, mostly because there are just too many people.

Second, everyone’s out for blood, determined to wipe out the Poison Silver Consort. That woman killed their brothers and fellow disciples—no matter what, they’re not letting this debt go unpaid.

That’s just how Jianghu loyalty works—no matter how dangerous, if there’s a chance for revenge, these people rush in headfirst like moths to a flame. Even if they know they’ll get burned, they’re totally fearless!

Over the past seven days, the Southern and Northern factions have become the talk of the whole arena—everyone’s shocked and obsessed.

In the South, Yvonne Li leads the charge, bringing Pinkie and Lanny along. As for the Black-and-White Fiend Duo, she hasn’t let them compete yet—though if things get dicey, she’ll send them in for sure. Not that it matters, since Pinkie and Lanny have already wiped out most of the small fry without breaking a sweat.

In the North, Lonely Heart heads up the Lonely Sect, bringing three people to compete. She fought solo in the first round, but after that, it was all her disciples in the ring—she herself hasn’t shown up once, and Yvonne Li’s done the same.

But no matter how far apart the fighting starts, time always pulls the rivals together.

And today? It’s the ultimate showdown: Yvonne Li VS Lonely Heart.

Lonely Heart must really trust herself—she actually sent all her disciples away. What no one knows is, she wanted those three to go to the capital and report to Cao Wan’er, letting her know that the martial alliance leader’s seat is basically hers. The whole point is to make sure the news reaches Song Zhijue, so when the tournament ends and she enters the palace, she’ll definitely get to see him!

Compared to Silver Consort’s arrogance, Yvonne Li only brought one person with her.

Everyone’s jaws drop—the person at Yvonne Li’s side is a mysterious man, so stunning he doesn’t even look human. The moment he shows up, every woman in the crowd loses it, screaming and going wild. Who is this guy? Is he another one of her male concubines?

No way, right? How could a guy this gorgeous be just a concubine?!

The girls in the audience look absolutely crushed. They refuse to believe that such a drop-dead gorgeous man could possibly be Yvonne Li’s concubine—it’s basically shattering their dreams.

But then, one sentence makes all the girls breathe a sigh of relief.

“He’s the vice sect master of the Hunks Sect,” Yvonne Li says with a little smile.

At that, the crowd starts buzzing—wait, so he’s just the vice sect master? Does that mean the actual sect master isn’t here?

What kind of joke is this? It’s the finals! Is the sect master just super confident, or does she trust her people that much?

But Yvonne Li clearly doesn’t care about all the gossip swirling around her.

Just then, Elder Hua steps forward and says, “Please confirm your contestants.”
