The Four Venerables

Under the arrangement of a member of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran walked out of their residence hand in hand and soon arrived at a huge Azure Square!

Around the two were many young men and women of similar age, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.

Clearly, they, like the other two, had passed the test and were going to participate in the Four Pavilions Assembly!

At this moment, most people were scanning each other, trying to find any flaws in each other's demeanor.

Since they would soon become enemies, Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to the many people's gazes, which seemed to be subtly focused on him.

It's perfectly normal for them to see each other as enemies, and even if he's targeted, Xiao Yan is fearless!

Unlike the others around him, Xiao Yan only glanced around before he and Nalan Yanran focused their attention on the vast Azure Square.

In the vast Azure Square, there stood a huge Pavilion at each of the four cardinal directions.

At the top of these four Pavilion, rows of Silverwood chairs with excellent views are arranged.

Clearly, these four Pavilion and the rows of Silverwood chairs on them were prepared for the people of the Four Pavilions.

Around these four Pavilion, there are also many shorter buildings, which are also furnished with seats.

These places are prepared for important guests invited by the Four Pavilions.

Next, it's the open space around the Azure Square.

Well, there's only open space around, just enough for a person to stand and look.

This is the scene where those who came spontaneously gathered to watch the ceremony.

If Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran weren't contestants, they would only be one of them now.

As for the participants, they were now independently arranged in a corner of the Azure Square, waiting for the Four Pavilions Assembly to begin.

"There are so many people, it's almost unbelievable!"

This is even more exaggerated than the situation on Misty Cloud Mountain after my own grandmaster broke through to Dou Venerable!

"Who says otherwise? By the way, Yanran, are you a little nervous because you're going to compete in front of so many people later?"

Xiao Yan teased his little fiancée.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

She's already an Eight-Star Dou Emperor, do you really think she's some naive little girl?

"You're the one who should be watching! Remember to tone it down later! With your cultivation level, winning the championship shouldn't be a problem, right? But, after all, there are people from your Starfall Pavilion among the participants, so don't end up 'disowning your own' later!"

Nalan Yanran then retorted with a playful retort.

She had no doubt whatsoever that Xiao Yan would win the championship.

She just hoped that Xiao Yan wouldn't go too far with the others, so as not to embarrass everyone in the Four Pavilions.

Faced with Nalan Yanran's teasing, Xiao Yan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Is he really that unreliable?

As the two chatted and observed their surroundings, the crowd around the Azure Square grew larger and larger.

Even the buildings other than the four huge Pavilion were filled with people.

"Boom"

Suddenly, at a certain moment, accompanied by a muffled clap of thunder, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down from the sky above the northern Pavilion!

Immediately afterwards, a tall, elderly man dressed in a silver robe adorned with lightning patterns and sporting a silver-white beard slowly emerged from the lightning.

Thunder Venerable!

This was the information Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran gleaned from the gasps of the surrounding crowd.

The host has arrived!

"Call out"

As Thunder Venerable made his appearance, a sound of air being torn apart suddenly resounded in all directions!

Immediately, everyone, including Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, saw a giant sword, ten zhang in size, slicing through the sky and hurtling towards them, appearing in the sky above the Eastern Pavilion in a flash.

"Haha, Sword Venerable, you're the fastest to arrive this time."

Upon seeing the giant sword in the sky, the Thunder Venerable, clad in silver robes, also stood up, his laughter echoing like Lei Ming across Thunder Mountain.

His words directly revealed the identity of the person who had come.

Then, everyone saw the giant sword tremble slightly, then turn into countless points of light and shatter away.

A figure also landed above, and that was none other than the Sword Venerable.

He was an old man with a stern face, his body as straight as a spear, and his aura as sharp as a sword, giving people an extremely fierce feeling!

"Sword Cultivator? If I had the chance, I'd really like to fight him!"

The moment Nalan Yanran saw the Sword Venerable, her fighting spirit soared.

However, she also knew that with her current cultivation level, she was not qualified to challenge others.

But she believes that she will definitely reach that level in the future!

At that time, she will challenge the Sword Venerable!

Sword Cultivator are just that direct!

"Um?"

At the same time, the Sword Venerable seemed to have sensed Nalan Yanran's gaze and suddenly glanced over subtly.

Then, she noticed Nalan Yanran's fiercely competitive gaze.

"Nice eyes! Looking forward to your next match, young lady..."

The Sword Venerable murmured to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

He was in a great mood upon seeing a promising junior at the Four Pavilions Assembly.

Therefore, the Sword Venerable was already preparing to focus his attention on Nalan Yanran later.

As for Thunder Venerable's greeting...

The Sword Venerable didn't bother with him at all, simply rolled his eyes at the other person, and then found his own seat and sat down.

Sword Cultivator are like this: they like what they like and dislike what they dislike, and they usually express it very directly.

Clearly, the Sword Venerable didn't particularly like the Thunder Venerable.

However, if Sword Venerable's feelings towards Thunder Venerable were merely dislike, then the next one to appear could be described as utterly despised!

"Heh heh, Old Man Sword still has that same foul temper! Is he still holding a grudge about losing to Thunder Venerable back then?"

Not long after the Sword Venerable took his seat, a voice carrying a slightly sinister laugh rang out.

And this sound was coming from afar, gradually approaching.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a jet-black light rush from the foot of the mountain, and then, as if by teleportation, it appeared directly in the seats of the western Pavilion. Without any ceremony, it waved its sleeve and sat down.

What appeared was an old man, half white and half black, with a gloomy look between his brows.

"Ha, who do we have here? It turns out to be that spineless coward who was once attacked by the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace Palace Master and forced to be sealed off for ten years! Yellow Springs, you've really got guts, I admire you!"

At this moment, the Sword Venerable also retorted without any politeness.

That's right, the third one to appear is none other than Yellow Springs Venerable of the Yellow Springs Pavilion!

"Old man Sword, say that again if you dare!"

Clearly, the Sword Venerable's taunt hit the Yellow Springs Venerable's sore spot.

After all, Xiao Lin made his name in Central Plains by stepping on the head of the Yellow Springs Pavilion!

Now, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace that Xiao Lin has built is like a behemoth in the eyes of Yellow Springs Venerable, making him unable to muster even the slightest desire for revenge.

However, Venerable Huang Qun was a gloomy person, and he hated having this shameful past brought up.

That's why he couldn't help but fly into a rage when the Sword Venerable brought it up.

"What? You old ghost of the Yellow Springs, do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?"

Faced with the threat from Yellow Springs Venerable, Sword Venerable was not intimidated at all.

He is slightly inferior to Thunder Venerable, but he can easily defeat Yellow Springs Venerable Zun Zhe!

The Four Pavilions Assembly hasn't even started yet, and the two Venerable Ones are already about to clash, much to the delight of the spectators!

Thunder Venerable, who was the organizer of this Four Pavilions Assembly, was somewhat troubled by this.

These two started arguing the moment they met, and he himself has a rather volatile temper, so he's not really suited to mediate!

"Boom!"

Fortunately, before the Sword Venerable and the Yellow Springs Venerable could start fighting, another muffled sound came from the sky, interrupting the two.

Before everyone's eyes, a blue hurricane, like the roar of a dragon, appeared in the sky above the Bluestone Square, and then quickly plummeted down.

Before long, the azure hurricane landed on the Pavilion in the south of the Bluestone Square.

Then, a man dressed in a blue robe, with a full head of silver hair flowing down his shoulders, and whose appearance was as gentle as a breeze, appeared in everyone's sight.

This man, who was clearly a handsome young man, was none other than Venner of the Starfall Pavilion.

At this point, all the masters of the Four Pavilions were present!

As the four appeared, a deafening roar erupted from all around.

As for the impending conflict between Sword Venerable and Yellow Springs Venerable, it vanished without a trace with the appearance of Venner.
