"What do you mean we are not qualified? If you guys aren't, I'll go back to the sect. But, the next Great Battle of the Great Sects we can't lose." She replied firmly, and the Patriarch swallowed a little saliva as he lowered his head even further in apology.
"Madam... This... Perhaps you don't know because you were away a few days ago, but several from the Divine Sun and the Supreme Hall came to announce that the upcoming battle changed its rules, as is customary every 200 years. This time, the new rules are that to participate is need to have at least 7 people in the Supreme Realm. We... We can't do that." He replied with a bitter smile, causing Shi Yue to frown slightly.
'Those bastards, they're targeting us.' She thought angrily.
"How many Head Elders are there near the Supreme Realm?" she asked.
"Only two."
"How many Supremes are there?"
"With Elder Ding 3, and with you there are 4."
