Sect Competition Begins!
"Brother Lin Dong!"
Just when Life and Death were at stake, a clear shout rang out, and two streaks of light streaked across the sky like shooting stars from the distant horizon.
"Qing Tan, my dear! You... you've finally come to the rescue!!"
The number one scumbag suddenly trembled and said solemnly, "Junior sister, Qing Tan has arrived. Come with me to greet her."
"Okay, it seems I'll have to ask that question another time."
Ying Huanhuan frowned slightly as she helped Lin Dong straighten his somewhat disheveled clothes.
"That's how it should be."
Lin Dong nodded steadily. "You are so sensible."
As the light faded, a man and a woman emerged from the shadows.
The woman was petite and slender, dressed in a dark black dress, with exquisite features and bright, intelligent eyes.
The man was dressed in black, with a ghostly Ghost Face Mask on his face, yet his aura was exceptionally powerful, in no way inferior to that of Yuan Cang and Ling Qingzhu.
"Is that Ghost Face Chen Kui? Ghost Face Chen Kui's number one on the Sect Wanted List? He's one of only three young people in the Eastern Xuan Region to have reached the Life Mysterious Stage. What's he doing here?"
"Dao Sect, he actually went to the Dao Sect, and it seems he has a close relationship with the Dao Sect's Chief Seat disciple. Could he be Dao Sect's backup plan? This year's Sect Competition seems to be about to change again."
"It's hard to say. Don't forget, Yuan Cang has Spirit Seal, while Chen Kui is probably a notch weaker."
The moment the masked man appeared, a commotion spread through the crowd.
"Brother Lin Dong."
A giggling girl in a dark dress, her delicate face beaming with a happy smile, threw herself into Lin Dong's arms, even pushing Ying Huanhuan aside.
"Hmm, the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage. It seems you haven't been slacking off these past five years."
Lin Dong patted the girl's shoulder and then looked her over carefully.
"Hehe, of course I didn't slack off. Let me introduce you to Brother Lin Dong. This is my Senior Disciple Brother, Chen Kui."
The increasingly refined Qing Tan smiled and introduced herself to the masked man.
"Brother Lin Dong."
The masked man bowed slightly in a gentle manner.
"It is said that Ghost Face Chen Kui, who ranks first on the Sect Wanted List, has a mysterious background. It turns out that he is a disciple of Bo Xuan. No wonder many Super Sect in my Eastern Xuan Region could not find out your identity."
Lin Dong returned the greeting with a smile.
Chen Kui is also a disciple of Bo Xuan, the Hall Master the Darkness Palace. He entered the sect earlier than Qing Tan. His talent and ability are in no way inferior to Yuan Cang, the Little Yuan King of the Yuan Sect. It is just a pity that he cannot resonate with the Dark Darkness Ancestral Symbol Darkness Palace.
Left with no other choice, Bo Xuan had to find another candidate for the next Hall Master, and designated Chen Kui as the protector of the next Hall Master. Even so, the relationship between the master and disciple was still very good, and no rift developed between them.
"The guest that Brother Lin Dong asked us to invite has arrived and is nearby. He will go to the Dao Sect with us as soon as the Sect Competition ends."
Chen Kui smiled and then brought up a seemingly unrelated topic.
"Oh, the guests have already arrived? Then we'll have to trouble them to wait here for a while longer." Lin Dong said with great joy upon hearing this.
"It's alright. With that thing around, protecting the world is our inescapable responsibility."
Chen Kui's words were meaningful, but Chen Zhen and the others looked completely bewildered.
Regardless, with Chen Kui joining the fray, Dao Sect's chances of winning this Sect Competition are much greater.
As Lin Dong Chen Kui were exchanging words, the two girls' gazes met, calm and gentle.
"You Ying Huanhuan, the Little Princess of the Dao Sect? Brother Lin Dong mentioned you to me." Qing Tan spoke as if she were family, raising her crystal-clear jade hand.
"Really? Sister Qing Tan, Lin Dong has mentioned you to me as well."
Ying Huanhuan smiled brightly and grasped his hand tightly with her own fair, slender fingers.
In the distance, the Yuan Sect camp.
"I didn't expect Ghost Face Chen Kui to have joined the Dao Sect's camp. This is troublesome." Little Spirit King Ling Zhen lightly shook his folding fan. He was also somewhat wary of this guy who was ranked first on the Sect Wanted List.
"So what if he's troublesome? It just takes a little more effort to crush him. Did he really think I couldn't do anything to him after that fight a year ago?"
Yuan Cang smiled coldly. Now that his trump card had been revealed, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"That's right. Boss can easily suppress him by using the Spirit Seal. The Ancient Great Array has been activated. Let's go."
Ling Zhen smiled and directed the Yuan Sect team to rush into the hundred-zhang-long spatial vortex, instantly making the whole world lively.
This was a dilapidated space filled with darkness and oppression, with the overwhelming aura of killing and bloodshed filling every corner, and deafening roars echoing from time to time.
"Earth Hall and Flood Hall, defend! Heaven Hall and Desolate Hall, attack!"
"Let go of the Demonic Corpse on the left first, let me kill it, we'll take them down one by one."
"The fourth Demonic Body shows signs of breaking free from its restraints. The Desolate Hall increases its Origin Energy output."
On the gloomy wilderness, three hundred Dao Sect of the Dao Sect stood in the air, unleashing powerful beams of Origin Energy that intertwined and merged in mid-air, forming a massive light array.
In the center of the light array, four powerful black Demonic Corpse were trapped. No matter how these mindless and tireless Demonic Corpse attacked, they could not break free from the Dao Sect disciples' encirclement.
The four Chief Seat of the Dao Sect remained at a distance, calmly directing the three hundred disciples of the Dao Sect to set up formations to trap the enemy, and occasionally exchanging opinions.
This marks the seventh day since the Dao Sect entered the Chaotic Demon Region.
Due to the Ancient Great War, even after the death of Ancient Expert in the Chaotic Demon Region, they may still be corrupted by residual Demonic Qi and transformed into a monster called Demonic Corpse, possessing most of the original body's strength.
The four Demonic Corpse that the Dao Sect is currently besieging were originally four powerful Life Mysterious Stage, Great Achievement. Even after being transformed into Demonic Corpse, they still possess the strength of Half-step Life Mysterious Stage.
Four Demonic Corpse at the Half-step Life Mysterious Stage are enough to instantly slaughter a slightly weaker Super Sect team. Even the Eight Great Sects would find it quite troublesome to face such a lineup.
However, after a Great Perfection or Life Mysterious Stage, Great Perfection Life Mysterious Stage, Great Achievement dies, the remaining boundless life force within their body has the opportunity to be compressed into something called the Life Mysterious Bone Pearl.
With its help, Nirvana Stage peak experts can continuously infuse their Origin Energy with Life Energy, thereby accelerating their breakthrough to the Life Mysterious Stage. It is an extremely rare treasure.
Therefore, the Dao Sect was not unlucky enough to run into these four Demonic Corpse, but was consciously searching for Demonic Corpse containing the Life Mysterious Bone Pearl in order to further hunt them down.
"Let out the Demonic Corpse on the far left first, and I'll take care of it."
Lin Dong, the commander-in-chief who had been stationed at the rear, gracefully landed at the front of the group.
Without a second thought, the Dao Sect disciple who was controlling the grand formation immediately released the restraints on the first Demonic Corpse, clearly showing considerable trust in his Chief Seat.
