387 A Betrayal?

"Alright, All teams have taken their position. We will start the competition in just a minute. I am sure everyone can't wait anymore. Let us see each of their positions."
There were five screens in front of them. Each screen showed a different position since there were five Memory Crystals scattered around the battlefield. Alex also had some knowledge about this Memory Crystal since it was related to his Forging Memory.
The memory crystal was similar to a camera on Earth. But to project it, they would need the Projector Crystal. After tuning both Crystals, they would be able to watch what happened on the battlefield live.
"Each team has arrived in their respective positions. So, without further ado, we will start the competition!"
As soon as he shouted that, there was a big firework exploding in the sky. Each team had been informed about this big firework as this firework was the start of their competition. And in the sky, they would see twenty five yellow balls floating in the sky.
"You can see twenty five yellow balls in the sky. They are symboling the position of each token. In other words, they would be able to find the tokens right below the yellow balls."
It was at this time that five teams suddenly made the same move.
"Oh wait! What is this? There are five teams that suddenly rushed toward the middle of the battlefield? From their position, they are Heavenly Sword Sect, Mount Hua Sect, Zhou Kingdom, Thiveapia Kingdom, and Hazel Kingdom."
Alex clicked his tongue when he saw that. It was like he expected. Mount Hua Sect and Zhou Kingdom would target Heavenly Sword Sect. As for Thiveapia Kingdom, Evelyn most likely had convinced them.
Since Thiveapia Kingdom knew how important Evelyn was, they should fight together with Heavenly Sword Sect. However, what he could not understand was the fact that Hazel Kingdom joined the fray.
He thought the Southern Kingdom would be the one who joined the fray as he had bad blood with the Southern Kingdom. Of course, they already feared his existence, but this was another case. Sana had warned the people not to make any move against the participant. So, Alex feared they would use this chance to attack Heavenly Sword Sect.
To his surprise, Southern Kingdom did not move from their spot. It seemed they were searching for the token instead of fighting the Heavenly Sword Sect. He was relieved when he saw that.
At the same time, he was perplexed why the Hazel Kingdom also moved toward the center. He thought it must be a coincidence since he never had any conflict with Hazel Kingdom. So, he ignored them first.
Alex contemplated for a bit. If it was a two versus two fight, they should be able to win, unless the Zhou Kingdom used their berserk Pill. But, it should be impossible as the other influences would suspect them for that Berserk Pill. So, Alex was sure that Zhou Kingdom would not use their Berserk Pill.
This way, Evelyn should be able to kill all of them since he was confident with her power.
…
Back to Evelyn's group, as soon as they saw the firework, they immediately went toward the center of the battlefield.
After one hour was up, they were guided by someone to the battlefield. They had a few explanations from him, concerning the battlefield and the firework.
The moment they arrived at their position, they saw a yellow line. The guide told them it was the boundary of the battlefield. So, they would be fine as long as they did not cross it. After that, the guide disappeared.
Evelyn and the others immediately went toward the center as planned. They wanted to meet up with the Thiveapia Kingdom so they could fight Mount Hua Sect and Zhou Kingdom.
They ignored the token even though it would only take a few seconds if they wanted it. Regrettably, they needed to meet up first so they would not get attacked by two influences.
Evelyn was the one who led them through the forest. And she ordered them to run through the woods instead of flying above the trees. She gave that order after considering the fact they would be spotted if they went over. The others also did not have any objections and immediately nodded their head.
They arrived in the center before long. When they arrived, Florinda looked at the two yellow balls floating around them.
"Since Thiveapia Team has not arrived, we should get these two tokens first. It won't take too long, considering the distance between our position." Florinda said.
The others also agreed with her. But before they went ahead and took the token, they looked at Evelyn. They remembered Evelyn had beaten Florinda back in the sect when their team was formed.
Florinda's strength had increased by leaps and bounds ever since she became the disciple of the first elder. At first, they thought she would be perfect to be the captain of their team.
Sadly, all of it changed after they met this person called Evelyn. She had shown her prowess in the Outer Disciple Tournament. Although she did not participate in the Inner Disciple Tournament because of her strength, she was indeed powerful as she was one of the first people who learned the Seven Stars Cut.
When they wanted to choose their captain, the first elder said Evelyn should be the leader. All of them, especially Florinda, were unconvinced at that time. Florinda decided to challenge her into a fight, and whoever won would be the leader of this team.
They were astonished by Florinda's strength. She was already a 10-Star Martial Grandmasters even before the Inner Disciple Ranking Tournament, and the first elder already asked her to hold back her cultivation and trained her battle prowess.
Sadly, Evelyn also reached 10-Star Martial Grandmaster at that time, and with the powerful strength Alex taught her, she emerged victorious. And with that, all of them thought they would win the tournament with these two prodigies. All of them except Florinda. Ultimately, Florinda was convinced because of Alex instead of Evelyn.
She just thought because of Alex, Evelyn could become that strong. So, she gave Evelyn the captain position just because of Alex.
Evelyn was not bothered by that. In fact, she was quite happy to see Alex get the recognition he deserved. Since she became the captain of this team, she decided to win so she would not put shame in Alex's name.
With that thought in mind, they looked at Evelyn for a confirmation. Evelyn also understood they were here to win the competition instead of winning the fight. Evelyn nodded her head. "We will split our group into two. The first group will be me, Anwar Daher, Hanibal, and Amazu Agu. We will get the token on our front.
"The second group will be Florinda, Yasmin, Kokonoe Shigure, and Elise. They will grab the token on our left. We will meet in this place again in two minutes."
She was not shy in front of others anymore as she was able to call them with their name. And she did not need to use 'big brother' or 'big sister' again since they could not be compared to Alex or Song Yu. If Alex were here, he would be happy to see her improvement.
Of course, the others also did not mind about this. As soon as they heard her order, they immediately nodded their heads and split their force.
They were moving in unison to reach the token faster but still carefully. Evelyn took the lead while the other kept observing the surrounding.
When they arrived, they found a small golden token tied into a tree branch. All of them immediately recognized the token as this was the token that the Announcer showed them. Evelyn immediately took the token and looked at her teammates, "We are going back-!"
"Well, well. I am afraid you can't do that." Just before they went back, they heard the voice of a young man.
When they turned their head, they could see a white-haired young man leading 15 disciples in front of them. The voice must come from the white-haired young man. And behind him, there was a brown-haired young man. Both of them looked very familiar.
"Erol from Mount Hua Sect and Nash from Hazel Kingdom!" Evelyn finally recognized them.
"Hoho… to think Princess Evelyn knows the two of us. We are really honored." Nash said politely.
"Hmph, To think Hazel Kingdom is joining this farce…" Evelyn snorted as she never expected Hazel Kingdom would also attack them. Even Alex, who was in the arena, was bewildered when they saw this formation.
"After the recent war where the Heavenly Sword Sect became more powerful even after besieged by Mount Hua Sect, Thiveapia Kingdom, Zhou Kingdom, and Southern Kingdom. We thought the Heavenly Sword Sect had become too powerful. So, we could not let you go just like this.
"That was the reason why our Hazel Kingdom joined hands with Mount Hua Sect. However, as long as your Heavenly Sword Sect is defeated, we would not kill you. Of course, it might be different from Mount Hua Sect." Nash said.
"Don't joke with me!" Evelyn shouted as she took out her sword and swung it. "Seven Stars Cut!"
The sword wave immediately flew toward the people from Mount Hua Sect and Hazel Kingdom. They immediately tried to dodge the Sword Wave.
Evelyn immediately shouted, "We are going to regroup with Florinda and the others."
They nodded and flew away.
"We are going to chase them," Erol said lazily.
Nash looked at Evelyn's and the others' disappearing back and shook his head. "It is such a pity. Even if they go back, they will find themselves situated between us and…"
…
Evelyn and the others were rushing toward Florinda. And by the time they reached their destination, they could see Florinda, and the others had wounds on their body. Luckily, it was just superficial wounds.
But, when Evelyn saw the people who attacked them, she was shocked beyond belief.
"Riolet!" She shouted in anger.
She never thought the one she trusted suddenly betrayed her. And they joined hands with the Zhou Kingdom.
At first, Florinda met Riolet with his entire team, and they greeted each other since she knew they were allies because of Evelyn. Unfortunately, it was only her thinking when they were suddenly ambushed by the Zhou Kingdom. Riolet and the others even helped the Zhou Kingdom in wounding them.
"You! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME!" Evelyn shouted on top of her lungs. It was because she knew the Milian Family was the most loyal family that served the royal family. And when she saw him betray her like this, she was shocked beyond belief.
When she was just about to charge, Florinda caught her hands.
"Let me go!" Evelyn struggled, trying to break away from Florinda. Florinda suddenly slapped her hard.
Evelyn was shocked when she felt the burning sensation on her cheek. She looked at Florinda in shock.
"Look at you! You are pathetic. Does Alexander Sirius never teach you to keep calm no matter what happens? Look at your state right now and look at the people around you? If you can't keep your calm, our eight people will meet our end here!" Florinda shouted. The other people also gathered around Florinda and Evelyn while guarding them.
"I…"
"Our Hazel Kingdom won't kill you as long as you forfeit from this competition." Nash and the others also arrived.
"Hmph. Even if your Hazel Kingdom won't, the grudge between Mount Hua Sect with Heavenly Sword Sect could not be washed away with just a competition." Erol snorted.
"Her highness, we…" Riolet wanted to explain his situation to Evelyn, but…
"Shut up! I don't want to hear anything from you! It is foolish for me to believe in the Milian Family! To think the most loyal family even turned his back on me!" She shouted in anger.
