They were practically people with average talent and they only managed to enter the top 30-40 of the Earth roll of honor with difficulty due to their age advantage.
These people were in other words, cannon fodder!
He, as a leader, was leading a group of cannon fodder?
Then wasn’t he also cannon fodder?
After Yang Haoran looked at the other name lists, he realized that the strongest people amongst the Tai Ah Divine City’s above-fifteen cultivators such as Yang Qian were all in Yao Dao’s group.
The other groups were all given cannon fodder. And even though they were considered cannon fodder, the cannon fodder given to him were the worst!
He suddenly realized that he had been given up.
The upper echelons of the Tai Ah Divine City had placed all their bets on Yao Dao’s group. Yang Qian and company may not have obtained the position of leaders, but they were able to guarantee Yao Dao’s group a victory.
As for the rest, due to the rules, they were only here to make up the numbers…
“Actually treating me like cannon fodder!”
Yang Haoran clenched his fist, as the veins on his forehead went taut. The hate for Yi Yun became stronger after receiving this name list. If it wasn’t for his missing arm, how could he have ended up as cannon fodder!?
He swallowed his anger because with Cang Yan here, he didn’t dare show it. He was only hoping that the two people he found the other day would be able to cripple Yi Yun or even kill him.
While at this moment, Yi Yun had also obtained the name list of his group. The four forerunners were all first year cultivators. Besides Wen Yu being not that bad, the rest were only there to make up the numbers.
Cang Yan had purposely placed the stronger people under the age of fifteen with Qiuniu and Chu Xiaoran, strengthening their group’s strength.
As for Li Hong, his group’s strength was also not that great, it was on par with Yi Yun’s. Clearly, it was another of those groups that had been given up.
As for why the slight stronger ones were placed in Li Hong’s group, it was probably due to the Tai Ah Divine City’s upper echelons fear of the Yun Long Divine Kingdom using similar tactics. If they were all cannon fodder, then if their own cannon fodder was too weak, losing to the opponent’s average weak cannon fodder would be a huge waste.
In general, the upper echelons of the Tai Ah Divine City were confident in the under-fifteen groups, so they hoped that they would win more seats this way.
As for the above-fifteen groups, they only wished for one group to win. As for the other groups, they were completely given up on them without a second thought.
Li Hong felt gloomy seeing the names he had. He looked at Yi Yun’s name list and his subordinates were not that great either.
But Li Hong did not gain any satisfaction from that. He had guessed the intentions of the Tai Ah Divine City’s upper echelons. They probably trusted Yi Yun, so they sent weaker forerunners to Yi Yun, hoping that Yi Yun could turn the tide just by himself.
Li Hong gritted his teeth. “Those old fools sure look down on people! To treat us as cannon fodder and let Yi Yun be the hero. Heh! It’s not so easy to be a hero!”
Li Hong looked at the Yun Long Divine Kingdom’s side.
There, the snake youth was discussing something with people and looked to be talking jovially.
Seeing the calm snake youth, Li Hong insidiously laughed twice. “The Tai Ah Divine City’s arrangements suit my wishes. Now my plan will be even easier to be carried out. Yi Yun, just you wait…”
After the groups were formed, the birthday banquet began.
The Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord was dressed in a blue shirt and he was seated beside the Seven Star Pagoda Owner in the seats of honor. He looked with a smile at the youths from the various factions.
The Seven Star Pagoda Owner was already informed of the Tai Ah Divine City’s grouping methods and laughed, saying,”City Lord Yang sure has a strong nerve. You can still smile so naturally even at this moment.”
“Same to you.” The Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord responded.
“It seems City Lord Yang has gathered all the experts in one group. This method sure is clever.”
The Seven Star Pagoda Owner’s words sounded like praise, but it was clearly mocking the City Lord.
This tactic was not considered honorable.
The City Lord faintly smiled as if he never heard the Seven Star Pagoda Owner’s mockery, and simply went with the flow by saying, “Thank you for your compliments. Everything is for victory, so there has to be some strategy in the assignment of troops.”
“Unfortunately, against absolute power, any strategy is useless.” The Seven Star Pagoda Owner’s smile turned cold. “You will see my Yun Long 72 Pagodas’ disciples sweeping the arena.”
“Oh? Then I look forward to that!”
