The Sect Tournament Begins
Time, along with the tense atmosphere of the Yuan Sect, passed by rapidly day by day.
If the previous Division Trial were just a warm-up, then today is the prelude to a real storm.
Because everyone knows that the Sect Tournament is no longer a friendly sparring match between fellow disciples. It is a place fraught with danger, where a slight mistake can lead to a bloody and fatal end.
While facing the dangerous Demonic Creature of the Abyssal Demon Domain, they also had to be constantly on guard against sneak attacks and assassinations from disciples of other Super Sect.
To survive in such a place, one needs not only close teamwork but also exceptional strength. Otherwise, a single misstep could not only kill oneself but also endanger one's companions.
Fortunately, as the leading force in the Eastern Xuan Region, all the Yuan Sect disciples participating in the competition felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
That place will be the place of glory that proves why Yuan Sect has been able to sit firmly at the top of the Eight Great Super Sects!
At this moment, on the giant plaza atop the Central Peak the Yuan Sect, countless Yuan Sect disciples stood silently.
Their gazes were filled with a mixture of awe and envy as they looked toward the center of the square.
There, hundreds of disciples stood in neat rows, and waves of extremely powerful Yuan energy emanated from their bodies like a tide, enveloping the entire square.
Each of these people possesses strength that is at least at the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage.
They are the most outstanding disciples among the Eight Divisions, and at the same time, they will represent the Yuan Sect in this year's Sect Tournament!
This qualification proves that they are the most outstanding among the disciples of the Yuan Sect this year!
At the forefront of these disciples stood several figures standing upright, and Lin Langtian was among them. Behind him were Song Yun, Pang Lie, and Pang Lie Personal Disciple Grand Disciple of the Fire Division.
As they gazed at the gaunt figure ahead, their eyes held an undisguised awe.
With his victory in the Division Trial, Lin Langtian's reputation within the Yuan Sect undoubtedly reached its peak. Not only did the Fire Division disciples obey him without question, but even some of the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple from the other Seven Divisions held him in high esteem.
With the upcoming Sect Tournament, the Yuan Sect is naturally organizing its forces to prepare for the main force to depart for the Abyssal Demon Domain.
Lin Langtian stood at the head of the line, but then he remembered the secret of the Ancient Map he had discovered a few days ago.
According to the address on the Ancient Map, the owner of the Ancient Map placed his legacy in a place called the Corrosive Fiend Sea Domain in the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Langtian was overjoyed, but also felt a bit of a headache.
The Chaotic Demon Sea is tens of thousands of miles away from the Eastern Xuan Region. Not only is it extremely far away, but more importantly, it is a chaotic place teeming with powerful figures.
Although Lin Langtian is currently ranked as the strongest among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect, he is just an ordinary person among the younger generation of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
"Never mind, after the Sect Tournament is over, I'll see if I can make a trip to the Chaotic Demon Sea..." Lin Langtian murmured.
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly felt a cold glint in his eyes. Lin Langtian followed his senses and looked over, and then he saw Yuan Cang at the Squad Leader.
Yuan Cang clearly noticed his gaze, and a cold smile immediately appeared on his indifferent face. His hostile demeanor attracted the attention of many disciples around him.
After all, Lin Langtian won first place in the Division Trial, but the command of the disciples in the final Sect Tournament was handed over to Yuan Cang. Although the disciples did not have much objection to this, they even felt that it was better to hand it over to Yuan Cang.
But they also knew that the strongest among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect was a man named Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian gave a cold, noncommittal smile in response to Yuan Cang's gaze. This guy probably didn't know that this command was a hot potato.
Within the Dao Sect, there exists a god of slaughter...
As Lin Langtian sneered, a sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out from the high platform in front of him, and then several figures landed. The one in the lead was none other than the Yuan Sect Leader, Ren Yuanzi, and behind him were the leaders of the Eight Divisions.
Upon seeing Ren Yuanzi appear, the whispers that had been taking place in the square abruptly ceased.
All eyes, filled with deep reverence, were fixed on Ren Yuanzi, who was dressed in purple and gold robes and appeared extremely dignified.
The Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect, Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi, are extremely mysterious and spend most of their time in seclusion. Only Ren Yuanzi often appears in the sight of his disciples, so people have great awe for him.
Ren Yuanzi stood on the high platform, his incomparably deep gaze looking down at the young disciples below with their Divine Fire. Then, his indifferent and majestic voice rang in the ears of everyone present.
"As disciples of the Yuan Sect, you are all familiar with the dangers and cruelty of the Sect Tournament, so I won't say much."
There is only one requirement: that my Yuan Sect, as the leading sect among all the major sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, achieve outstanding results in every Sect Tournament, crushing all other sects in the Eastern Xuan Region.
Therefore, this Sect Tournament is no exception. Anyone who dares to hinder my Yuan Sect during the competition will be severely punished by me!
Ren Yuanzi's voice carried a hint of coldness as he looked solemnly at the young disciples whose faces were filled with awe.
"An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one day. "Yuan Sect provided them with excellent cultivation conditions, but they must also repay Yuan Sect.
This Sect Tournament is their time to repay the debt. These young disciples need to use their blood and even their lives to defend the position and glory of the leader of the Yuan Sect!
Yuan Sect never keeps useless people!
"In this Sect Tournament, Yuan Cang will serve as the commander, with Ling Zhen and Lei Qian assisting him. I hope that the three of you can once again bring the crown of the Sect Tournament to our Yuan Sect!"
Ren Yuanzi glanced at Lin Langtian, whose face was calm and seemed detached from the matter, then looked sternly at the three people at the front of the group and shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes." Yuan Cang replied in a deep voice, his face cold and stern.
"By the way, those guys from the Dao Sect have been causing some trouble lately. Some time ago, one of my Yuan Sect elders and two Spirit General suspected of dying at the hands of the Dao Sect. Take this opportunity during the competition to give them a good talking-to, and it would be best to teach them a painful lesson."
"I want those people from the Dao Sect to know that the price of offending my Yuan Sect is extremely heavy. Zhou Tong's death is not the end..."
As if remembering something, Ren Yuanzi's expression darkened slightly, and he sneered.
Of all the overt and covert clashes between the Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect, Zhou Tong's death was arguably the most devastating blow the Yuan Sect had ever dealt to the Dao Sect, a blow so profound that it left an indelible mark on the hearts of the leaders of both sects.
After all, Zhou Tong's talent was unprecedented and unparalleled. Even the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect were wary of him. If Zhou Tong hadn't been young and impetuous and hadn't been tricked by the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect, the current situation of the Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect might have been completely reversed.
Since the Zhou Tong incident, the Dao Sect has been like a broken spine, unable to hold its head high in front of the Yuan Sect, and has been in a state of decline, becoming mediocre among the Eight Great Super Sects.
In the original timeline, only after Lin Dong wiped out all the participating disciples of the Yuan Sect did the morale of the Dao Sect soar, thus reversing the Dao Sect's decline.
Of course, Yuan Cang and the other two were unaware of their fate in the Abyssal Demon Domain, so upon hearing Ren Yuanzi's order, they nodded repeatedly and then a sinister smile appeared on their faces.
The grudges between the Yuan Sect and Dao Sect have accumulated over the years, and have long since become a life-or-death struggle. In the past Sect Tournament, Yuan Sect and Dao Sect have fought the fiercest battles, and this time will likely be no exception.
However, Yuan Cang and his two companions were confident that with the overall strength of the disciples from the Yuan Sect participating in this Sect Tournament, they would definitely be able to crush the Dao Sect and cause the Dao Sect to suffer another painful loss.
Hearing what Ren Yuanzi said, Lin Langtian, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The loss of an elder and two Spirit General explains why he discovered earlier that the Heaven Division Spirit General and the Gold Division Spirit General had been replaced; they had apparently perished.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian immediately suspected Lin Dong. It seemed that in the original timeline, Lin Dong had killed two Yuan Sect Spirit General before the Sect Tournament.
With the help of Little Vixen and Little Yan, Lin Dong indeed had the strength and means to achieve this.
Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian glanced at Yuan Cang and the other two in front of him, a slightly meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
It seems Lin Dong's current strength isn't that much different from the original timeline. If that's the case, then these three guys are in for a rough time...
"The Eight Division Heads will accompany you to the Abyssal Demon City. However, once you enter the Abyssal Demon Domain, you will have to rely on yourselves. Remember, if anyone dares to damage the dignity of my Yuan Sect, they will all be handed over to the Enforcement Department upon our return!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the disciples in the square, but none of them showed any intention of backing down.
Seeing this, Ren Yuanzi nodded and said, "If you are ready, then set off. We, the Yuan Sect, will be here waiting for your triumphant return!"
As soon as Ren Yuanzi finished speaking, the young faces of the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but show excitement.
The Heaven Division Head also stepped forward at this moment, and with a wave of his hand, he and the other Seven Divisions department leaders soared into the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Seeing this, the Yuan Sect disciples on the square also soared into the air, their formation quite neat. Then, they all looked down at the people covering the mountains and fields, and bowed deeply in a gesture of respect.
"Whoosh!"
On the surrounding mountain peaks, countless Yuan Sect disciples clasped their fists towards the sky, and then shouts rose and fell in waves.
"Yuan Sect is invincible!"
"Yuan Sect is invincible!"
The low growl rumbled and spread, causing the sky to tremble and the blood in people's bodies to suddenly boil.
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. As expected of the leader of the Eastern Xuan Region, every disciple of the Yuan Sect indeed possessed an undisguised arrogance.
"Walk!"
The Heaven Division Head glanced around, then waved his hand down, his deep voice resounding. As soon as the voice fell, he stepped forward and flashed away.
Whoosh!
As he moved, hundreds of figures behind him shot out almost simultaneously. The sharp sound of wind breaking was deafening, and then a large group of people, like a dark cloud, swept away from the outside of the Dao Sect in a whirlwind.
On the high platform, the staff member watched the large group of figures rapidly disappear into the distance, his expression still indifferent and calm.
In every Sect Tournament, his Yuan Sect had achieved the best results, and this time was no exception. Therefore, he only needed to wait for good news...
"This time, our Yuan Sect has more than 500 disciples participating in the Sect Tournament. They are outstanding disciples selected from the Eight Divisions."
This size is probably the largest among all sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, which is the source of my Yuan Sect's confidence. The Dao Sect, for example, only has a little over three hundred people.
Above the sky, Lin Langtian at the forefront of the Fire Division disciples, while Song Yun beside him whispered to him about the scale of their Yuan Sect disciples this time.
"How many disciples did my Fire Division send out?" Lin Langtian asked softly.
"Hehe, nearly a hundred people." Pang Lie was standing to the side, thought for a moment and then said.
"Oh, so many?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow slightly. This exceeded the average number of people sent out by each unit.
"This is all thanks to Senior Brother, who often urges us to cultivate. As a result, quite a few people from our Fire Division were selected this time, even more than those from the Heaven Division," Mo Tie said with a slight smile. With Lin Langtian's help, he now also has the strength of the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage, just meeting the standard for participating disciples.
Lin Langtian nodded slightly. This number was already quite large, and the participants were all elites among the Fire Division disciples.
Furthermore, after exchanging the command of disciples in the Sect Tournament for the independent operation of the Fire Division, the Fire Division now only obeys Lin Langtian's orders. In other words, these are all his private troops.
"We are now heading to the Abyssal Demon City, where all the major Super Sect gather. I imagine the other Super Sect ' teams have already set off, and we will soon meet them in the Abyssal Demon City."
"Of course, it's not just the Eight Great Super Sects that are participating in the Sect Tournament. Some other powerful forces in the Eastern Xuan Region will also send their disciples to participate."
"Hehe, speaking of which, this is practically the most elite competition among the younger generation in the Eastern Xuan Region. Almost all the young powerhouses with a reputation in the Eastern Xuan Region will come; the scene can only be described as chaotic."
Hearing Song Yun's words, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. Besides the Eight Great Super Sects, there are countless sects in the Eastern Xuan Region that are Abyssal Demon Domain. So, the number of people involved is not small.
"Since other sects are all rushing here, I suppose the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace will also be here..."
Lin Langtian gazed into the distance, and once again, a proud and elegant figure appeared in his mind. This was his first woman.
"Ling Qingzhu, it's been five years. This time, let's meet face to face..."
Thinking of that scene, a glimmer of hope appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes, and then he smiled slightly and murmured.
Ultimately, you have to pursue your own woman!
