The entire continent was thrown into an uproar by a single lie from Tang San and Tang Hao.
Almost every Soul Master on the continent was rushing toward Sunset Forest.
Even though Sunset Forest lay within the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire could no longer afford to care. They immediately roused all the old relics in their families who had spent years in seclusion because their lives were nearing their end.
Three days. In just three days, the central region of Sunset Forest was surrounded by such dense crowds that not even a drop of water could get through.
Everywhere one looked, there were familiar faces—the imperial family of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Elephant Armor Sect, the Fire Leopard Sect, the Holy Dragon Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect.
House Dai and the Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
The families behind the three elemental academies: Tianshui, Blazing Fire, and Divine Wind.

Xue Qinghe approached Ning Fengzhi and bowed respectfully, adopting an exceedingly humble manner.
Ning Fengzhi quickly stepped aside and made a gesture to help him up, while the corner of his eye swept over the elite Soul Master corps behind Xue Qinghe.
"You are too courteous, Your Highness. Sunset Forest is quite lively these days. Since you have come in person, you must be determined to secure the prize."
Xue Qinghe smiled faintly, his gaze settling on the distant Icefire Yin Yang Well, shrouded in poisonous substances.
"You jest, Teacher. Naturally, I must do my part for Heaven Dou. Might I ask what insights you have?"
"Sect Master Ning!"
Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao stepped forward and saluted with clasped hands.
Ning Fengzhi returned their salute
