On the battle platform, Wu Changqing had already begun announcing the result of the match between Zou Ao and Ji Ningshuang.
"Ji Ningshuang of Zhengyang Sect wins. Zou Ao of Qingyun Sect's challenge has failed."
This announcement interval was even longer than the time taken for Chu Yi and Bai Yi's match, perhaps fearing that people would once again start gossiping about Zhengyang Sect.
What greatly displeased Gongsun Zhi was how Wu Changqing, while making the announcement, didn't forget to cast a disdainful glance toward Qingyun Sect.
Gongsun Zhi glared back at Wu Changqing fiercely, his face dark and brooding.
The outcome was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
At the outset, he had thought Hengyue Sect would suffer the most humiliating defeat. When Hengyue Sect had only Chu Yi—a cultivator at the Integration Realm—advance to the finals because of a bye, he'd even felt elated at their misfortune.
