This drinking session, although it didn't provide Qin Fang with particularly useful information, did allow him to make friends with Monk Wu Fa… which is a rather good result, at least Qin Fang is quite satisfied.

Just that, the price was the devastation of Qin Fang's Spirit Stones, as this session cost him over four hundred Spirit Stones…

The Spirit Wine bought with so many Spirit Stones allowed Qin Fang, Jian Qingfeng, and Monk Wu Fa to have a good drink, and all three of them were quite delighted.

Of course, when it comes time for the competition, Monk Wu Fa won't hold back just because Qin Fang treated him to a drink. Neither of them will be courteous during the match.

While enjoying the drink, the three chatted, and it allowed Qin Fang to learn a lot about the Five Great Sects, including some tales and anecdotes of master-level experts, which Qin Fang would otherwise never get a chance to know.

Overall, the three of them drank until the bar closed and then slowly left, heading back to their accommodation to rest… Regular bars might run all night, but this one is different, as they can't affect the disciples' competitive state for the next day.

The drink was thoroughly enjoyed, and the Spiritual Energy contained within was entirely absorbed by all three without hesitation… they all benefited greatly, though not with significant improvement, there was a small progress made.

This is the benefit of Spiritual Wine, otherwise it wouldn't be sold at such a high price…

Not much happened that night.

The next day, as before, when the disciples of each sect gathered, they headed towards the Wu Xin Sea Minor Secret Realm…

Even though some disciples have been eliminated, they can't wander around freely here.

As they arrived at Wu Xin Sea, Qin Fang glanced over as usual, his eyes narrowing a bit, evidently discovering something again.

"What's the matter?"

Jian Qingfeng, typically hanging out with Qin Fang when free, wondered due to Qin Fang being a big shot. If there's an opportunity to plunder, he wouldn't miss it… Staying close to Qin Fang might bring more such opportunities.

Being close, it was easy to notice Qin Fang's reaction, and he couldn't help but find it strange… as it wasn't the first time Qin Fang showed such expression without noticing anything odd himself.

"I'll tell you inside…"

However, compared to Qin Fang's previous silence, this time he mumbled softly and then entered Wu Xin Sea as if nothing had happened.

Although Jian Qingfeng was confused, seeing that Qin Fang had entered, he didn't hesitate and followed into Wu Xin Sea… The two secretly squeezed into a spot, confirming there was no one else around before Qin Fang leisurely said, "The formation outside Wu Xin Sea has been tampered with…"

"You understand formations too?"

Jian Qingfeng was first surprised not by Qin Fang's words, but by the fact that Qin Fang understood formations… which truly shocked him immensely.

"Can you focus on the main issue…"

Qin Fang couldn't help rolling his eyes and snorted.

"What does it mean that the formation's been tampered with?"

Fortunately, Jian Qingfeng laughed awkwardly and curiously asked.

"There are people hiding there…"

Qin Fang hesitated a bit but spoke to Jian Qingfeng… Their relationship is quite close, and there's no need to hide things from Jian Qingfeng, so he just said it outright.

"Hiding people?"

This time Jian Qingfeng got excited and asked, "What kind of people?"

"I'm not sure exactly… but I can be certain of one thing, these people are definitely not ordinary! I'm afraid… with our strength, we're just offering ourselves on a platter!"

Even though Qin Fang didn't want to discourage Jian Qingfeng's confidence, he could vaguely guess this.

The formation was altered just to hide people; apart from people from the Evil Sect, Qin Fang couldn't think of anyone else… And the Evil Sect's plan this time is extremely large and bizarre, surely the experts coming are the most top-notch.

If not, they couldn't withstand numerous Paramount Experts from the Five Great Sects…

Hence, the experts from the Evil Sect this time are likely all above Grandmaster Level, with no shortage of Supreme Realm Powerhouses… Such strength is indeed unmatched by Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng, who are half-baked Grandmaster Level experts.

If the two of them charged over, besides getting killed, there seems to be no other outcome…

"Should I tell the Sect Leader?"

Other matters, Jian Qingfeng might not necessarily believe, but seeing Qin Fang so confidently, he can be sure of this matter beyond doubt... He pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask Qin Fang's opinion.

"You just give them a heads-up... They should know it already, maybe they have countermeasures, just don't mess things up!"

Qin Fang thought about it and didn't stop Jian Qingfeng, but still gave simple instructions.

This information was passed by him to Qing Xu Lao Dao, and presumably, they already have a pre-set plan, possibly waiting for those Evil Sect experts to show up... Jian Qingfeng can cheer and support them, but if he takes action, it'll just cause trouble!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing... You just focus on the competition!"

Jian Qingfeng nodded, and didn't stay here with Qin Fang, but went to handle his affairs!

Today marks the true core part of the Five-Sect Grand Tournament, also the final stage of the finals...

Now, the Five Great Sects have selected thirty experts... These individuals are eligible to enter the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, but their entry order, and the quality of the small spaces they occupy, will be determined based on their final rankings.

Of course, beside this, the Five Great Sects will also determine the ranks among the sects for the next five years based on these disciples' rankings... Compared to those disciple rankings, this ranking seems even more important.

There are a total of thirty contestants, each position has been allotted points...

However, these points are exactly contrary to the ranks... For instance, the thirtieth place gets one point, the twenty-ninth place gets two points, and so on, the first place can get thirty points.

After all ranks are decided, the total points of the Five Great Sects disciples are summed up, and the final sect ranking is decided... Whichever sect has the highest points will be the leader of the Five Great Sects for the next five years, possessing the most significant voice!

Actually, the strength of the Five Great Sects doesn't vary much, even the seemingly weaker Kunlun Sect, excluding Qin Fang's "accident", has not fewer disciples advancing than the other four sects... The number is definitely a bit less, but the gap isn't large!

Of course, the Five Great Sects ranking isn't based on the number of advancements, but the total points from the ranks...

This requires the entire sect's strength to be exceptionally strong...

If a sect advances a large number of people, but their overall rankings are quite low, even with a numerical advantage, they can't change their weak position... Conversely, if a sect has fewer advancements but each one is outstanding, ranks are considerably high, they gain plenty of points, and still can't change the strong sect essence!

In this final, rank decides everything... Numbers don't offer much advantage!

"Qin Fang, this time, we are really pinning our hopes on you..."

For this reason, quite a few Kunlun Sect seniors couldn't help but say this to Qin Fang.

Before Qin Fang joined, Kunlun Sect didn't talk about taking the first among the Five Great Sects, even not being at the bottom was considered pretty good... Now, with Qin Fang leading the team as an expert, the achievements could be improved somewhat.

If Qin Fang really pulls off an upset defeating Li Wuhua, just that alone would earn thirty points... equivalent to many people's cumulative points.

Of course, even if he can't take first, being in the top three is quite impressive, the points are already substantial...

"I'll do my best..."

Qin Fang wouldn't speak too slowly and merely smiled and replied.

Soon, the finals officially started...

The thirty contestants are divided into six groups, with Qin Fang as the seed player of the fourth group... This is because the previous Kunlun Sect ranked fourth among the Five Great Sects, just slightly stronger than Esoteric Sect.

The fourth group has five players, besides Qin Fang, there are four others... really quite coincidentally, exactly one person from each sect.

"I wonder if deliberately arranged like this..."

Seeing this grouping, Qin Fang couldn't help but complain a bit.

In fact, he has also looked at other groups, the first five groups are basically like this... one from each sect.

As for the newly added sixth group, that's a bit tricky... The remaining contestants, no matter which sect they come from, are crammed into the sixth group!

This year's Five-Sect Grand Tournament, Tianwai Tower's strength should be the strongest, besides Li Wuhua the monster, they have actually had seven people advance into the thirty-list lineup... The result is the last sixth group, apart from Wutian Monk, has two Tianwai Tower disciples, and one each from Shaolin and Tianya Haige!

"Now, it's lively..."

Noticing the situation in the sixth group, Qin Fang couldn't help but chuckle evilly.

This must be deliberately orchestrated by the organizers, just to balance the strength among the sects, not letting any sect gain too much advantage... With Wutian Monk's pressure, the two Tianwai Tower disciples can only obediently play humble!

As for wanting to overthrow Wutian Monk's ship, that's surely not easy...

Even other sect disciples, not letting these two rank too high will definitely impose strong pressure... This also minimizes the opponents' scores as much as possible! (To be continued.
