"Let’s go!" Yellow Sheri tidied up his warrior’s robe and rose to follow behind Xiahou Lie. He was truly decisive and efficient.
Bai Yuxia’s and the compassionate one’s short-lived "verbal duel" was indeed splendid. But after being mocked by Xiahou Lie like that, it would be hard not to feel embarrassed.
Perhaps Bai Yuxia was somewhat better off.
As for the compassionate one, whose chance for rebuttal was cut off by Cao Jie, only he himself knew how he felt.
Xian Nankui thought for a moment, then said: "Then, let it be so. Give yourselves two days to heal. After that, we will decide on the last qualifying spot for the Inner Mansion Realm matches."
The other major powers of the Six Strong Countries of the world would not be unaware of what happened here, their non-intervention was tacit approval of the outcome.
Thus, the discussion among the three of them could already be regarded as the final decision.
For the entire Yellow River Gathering, tomorrow the qualifying spots for the Outer Building matches will be decided, the day after tomorrow the qualifying spots for the unrestricted matches for those under thirty years old. By this calculation, the timing is just right.

Jiang Wang couldn’t help but ask Cao Jie: "Do you have a friendship with Xiahou, the Great Commander from Jingguo?"
Xiahou Lie, calling Cao Jie "Older Brother Cao" with every other statement and saying "I’ll listen to Brother Cao", displayed such complete deference to Cao Jie that it was hard not to be curious about their relationship.
Cao Jie indifferently said: "We know each other. We’ve had a few disputes behind the gate of all demons and directly confronted each other leading troops."
Jiang Wang tactfully said: "It seems you must have impressed him thoroughly."
Cao Jie smiled and replied: "It was a draw most of the time."
"You’re being modest." Jiang Wang eagerly said: "That Commander Xiahou even calls you brother after being beaten by you, what more is there!"
Cao Jie gave him a look that read ’you’re just flattering me’: "That’s only because I’m older than him."
"You’re being too humble!" Jiang Wang had an expression of ’I’m worried for you’: "Not to butter you up, but the way you presented yourself on the World Stage was so awe-inspiring, even Xian Nankui paled in comparison! These Mu Country’s High Priests, Jingguo’s Great Commanders, when compared to you, they all fall short."
Cao Jie with a ’you’re clearly flattering me’ expression looked at him: "Your sycophancy needs work, you should practice more when you have time... Speak plainly! What favor are you asking of me?"
The Yellow River Gathering is, of course, fair, and can even be said to be the fairest selection event in the current world. Because among the Six Strong Countries, no one would allow interference in the official matches.
Xian Nankui’s mention of "the argument of host and guest" was immediately countered by everyone, which also signified the power struggle at the Yellow River Gathering. Honour, status, influence, everything was contested, and there were clashes in all aspects.
Every cry of the heavenly proud sons can only depend on their own strength to win, this is unquestionable.
But between the Six Strong Countries, are there any tacit agreements? ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Of course, there are.
For example, in the first round of the official matches at the Yellow River Gathering, the geniuses of the Six Strong Countries will certainly not face each other.
Like in this year’s list of official matches...
Following the usual practice of previous years, the next match would inevitably pit Ye Luzhi of Wei Country against Yellow Sheri.
The Northwest Five Countries alliance is energetic, and Jingguo, when it comes to fighting, will not hold back either.
By the same token, Xiao Shu of Dan Country must naturally face Qin Zhizhen of Qing Country.
The newly emerging genius of Mu Country, originally matched against Jiang Limeng of Sheng Country, now without Jiang Limeng, would likely choose a relatively weaker opponent.
Jinguo and Wei Country are separated by the Long River, so it makes sense for Jinguo’s genius to choose Wei Country’s Dongguo Bao. Now that Jinguo’s Inner Mansion Realm genius has forfeited, it’s possible Dongguo Bao will face Yin Wenhua from Song Country. But this ’perhaps’... is truly uncertain. Because for countries outside the Six Strong Ones, as long as they are not picked by the strong six, the match pairings are really fair, very much up to fate.
As the genius of Qi Country, Jiang Wang’s first-round opponent will naturally be Chumu of Summer Country. Or it could also be Jiang Shaohua of Shen Country.
Because Shen Country is located to the north of Qi Country, not far north from there lies East King Valley; the two have some connection. It can even be stated explicitly that East King Valley is backing Shen Country, allowing Shen Country to maintain its independence in the face of Qi Country.
Generally speaking, whether the first round will be against Chumu or Jiang Shaohua depends on whom Qi Country wants to strike at first this time.
And Jiang Wang put away his exaggerated expression, looked at Cao Jie very earnestly: "For the first round of the Yellow River Gathering, I want to fight Lin Zhengren."
He emphasized: "Lin Zhengren of Zhuang Country."
