"Showing our edge for all to see?" Huo Lian laughed. "That's exactly the effect we want. As Demonic Path practitioners, what do we have to fear from any of this? This is the Demon God Sect's territory. No one would dare cause trouble here. Even if they have some tricks, they could probably only strike underhandedly during the matches. When it comes to matches, would you be afraid?"
"As long as they're opponents in a match, I fear none of them," Huang Xiao said gravely. "Patriarch, I understand. I know what to do."
"I already asked around just now. More than eight thousand people have collected Tokens. I reckon it'll pass ten thousand today, and there may be even more people over the next two days. I think at least forty thousand people will take part in this contest," Huo Lian said.
"Forty thousand, and practically all of them Upper Ancient Realm experts. It's unbelievable," Huang Xiao exclaimed.
Most of these people were certainly Upper Ancient Realm experts.
There might be others at the Void Realm like Huang Xiao, but there were bound to be very few.
After all, that single place would essentially go to one of those Upper Ancient Realm Peak experts.
The others who came to participate were not all after that place. Most wanted to exchange moves with opponents of similar strength.
They also hoped to attract the attention of some Great Powers and major sects in the process.
Once one of these sects or powers took a liking to them, they would be like fish leaping through the dragon gate.
Not everyone in the Jianghu had a chance to enter these sects. Such opportunities were still very rare.
"This is the Immortal Spirit Domain. The Upper Ancient Realm isn't anything special here," Huo Lian said.
