Xu Long stood in the corner of the crowd; he had just clearly heard the sect leader's meaning.
The plan was to select a huge fragmented space and have Yunlong, a Half-Step Golden Immortal, sit there personally.
Once inside, everyone should focus on defeating their opponents as quickly as possible. The cultivators who remain in the fragmented space will become the final core disciples.
With the sect leader in charge this time, even if these twenty-five people fight each other, the fragmented space will not collapse.
Moreover, if someone is defeated and being hunted down, the sect leader can teleport them out in an instant.
The sect leader's personal presence ensured safety, and the combat strength assessment guaranteed fairness.
Xu Long had no objection to this; he only firmly believed in his own strength.
Whether in blessed lands or in the Boundless Wilderness, only strength is his ally.
However, the disciples present had different expressions upon hearing this. For example, Yunluan and Yun Xiao were both from a family of cultivators, and in the past, the sect leader would always give them a quota during the selection process.
But with the addition of Yunya and Yunmo, the sect leader clearly saw the rise of the guardian of the Boundless Wilderness.
Although the sect leader will not directly dismiss them, a necessary reprimand is unavoidable.
If one were to unfortunately encounter a powerful figure like Yunmo in the fragmented space, there would truly be a risk of being dethroned.
Judging from the number of twelve spots available, the sect leader will definitely not show any mercy at that time.
Neither Yunluan nor Yun Xiao spoke; their gazes were fixed on Yun Hong inside the main hall.
But Yun Hong was like a clay sculpture at this moment, only looking down at his nose and inward at the sect leader.
This made the two men tense up; it seemed that the sect leader was going to give them a warning this time.
The only way is to defeat the others in the fragmented space first, and then find a way to survive.
Xu Long's gaze shifted from Yunluan and Yun Xiao, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a smiling face.
face.
He seemed to have been watching Xu Long for a long time in the crowd, and when Xu Long turned his head, their eyes met instantly.
Xu Long, standing in the corner, narrowed his eyes. The man was frail and thin.
She wore a gold hairpin in her hair, and her blue sleeves were embroidered with two gold trims.
A gentle and refined demeanor emanates from him, making him stand out in the crowd like a crane among chickens.
But when Xu Long took a look, he thought the man looked like a sickly person, his frail body really looking rather weak.
But when the other person's gaze swept over him, he felt that he couldn't quite see through this person's aura.
This is Yun Feng, the senior disciple of the sect!
Xu Long had Daoist Sect from his previous conversation with Yun Ya that the senior disciple in the sect was named Yun Feng.
He was a disciple of the sect leader Yunlong, and after Yun Kun's accident, he was given special attention and training by the sect.
Upon seeing Yun Feng, the other party nodded slightly to Xu Long.
The smile in his eyes never faded, and his gentle demeanor truly made it impossible for anyone to feel any ill will towards him.
"It really was you!"
A strong, resonant voice came from behind. Xu Long gave a wry smile and turned around to see a familiar face.
Yun Peng slowly walked past Xu Long.
The two had only met once and were not familiar with each other. He didn't greet Xu Long again, but instead cast a sharp gaze at the person opposite him.
"Junior brother, why did you go to such lengths..."
"Hmph! Let's settle this once we're inside the gate!"
Yun Feng naturally saw Yun Peng behind Xu Long, and when he saw Yun Peng walking towards him, he felt something was wrong.
Although centuries of guarding the Boundless Wilderness had worn down some of Yun Peng's sharpness, the resentment he harbored towards Yun Feng had not dissipated.
Yun Feng knew that his opponent and Yun Kun were as close as brothers, and now that they had seized the opportunity to compete, they were definitely going to defeat Yun Feng personally.
Yun Peng stared sharply at Yun Feng, a disdainful look appearing on his face.
Without any regard for the presence of the sect leaders and hall masters, they unleashed their full power.
At this moment, Yun Peng truly possessed an aura of dominance over the world, and the twenty-five people present dared not provoke him.
Yun Feng, however, maintained his smile and shook his head slightly at Yun Peng.
"Snort!"
Inside the main hall, the sect leader paused heavily, his eyes gleaming as he scrutinized Yun Peng outside the hall.
But Yun Peng paid no attention to Yunlong's gaze, staring intently at Yun Feng opposite him, their eyes already clashing in the air.
Yun Peng's anger had been suppressed for a long time. After being stopped by Yunlong, he slowly took a few steps, withdrew his gaze, and went straight into the gate.
"If you're so capable, come find me directly!"
The domineering aura that once looked down upon the world gradually faded, but Yun Peng's powerful voice still echoed slowly in the arena.
Everyone knew who he was talking to, and all eyes immediately turned to Yun Feng.
Yun Feng displayed the demeanor of a senior disciple, first bowing to Yunlong in the center of the room.
He then exchanged glances with his fellow disciples, using the gentle smile in his eyes to dispel their probing gazes.
At this moment, Xu Long, who was in the corner, moved slightly. Just now, when Yun Feng's gaze swept over, it was accompanied by a voice transmission from Yun Feng.
"Does Junior Brother know Yun Peng? He lost his father at a young age and his mother when he was young. He wandered around the Gongwei Temple before he became an adult."
They lived among dogs and pigs, competed for food with Vulture, endured the scorn of the world, and tasted all the bitterness of life.
Having been bullied excessively in his youth, he deeply resented the indifference of the world and the injustice of Heavenly Dao, which gradually fostered his arrogant personality.
He often looked down on others, but he treated his senior brother Yun Kun like a brother.
Because when Yun Peng was on the verge of starvation, Yun Kun encountered Yun Peng on his deathbed.
After Yun Kun saved his life, he took him in and from then on Yun Peng was no longer suffering from the hardships of wandering.
Later, the two of them entered the sect again, and both Yun Kun and Yun Peng had excellent aptitude.
Senior Brother Yun Kun has a broad mind and a magnanimous character, but Yun Peng suffered a lot in his youth, so he respects no one except Senior Brother Yun Kun.
The conflict between him and me was also caused by Senior Brother Yun Kun...
Yun Feng transmitted his voice as he walked towards the entrance of the gate.
Upon hearing this, Xu Long, who was in the corner, recalled Yun Peng's previous behavior.
I thought this person was arrogant, but I never expected that he had been bullied and only became Mystic Immortal after receiving a favor.
Both Yun Kun and Yun Peng are exceptionally talented, with Yun Kun even surpassing them by a great deal.
Just by looking at their Daoist titles, you can tell how high the sect's expectations are for them.
But unexpectedly, Yun Kun encountered an accident while guarding the Boundless Wilderness.
This loss of two prodigies is a great blow to the Jade Screen Sect School.
No wonder Yunxiang looked down on the preliminary disciples before; with Kunpeng and jade as a precedent, they were nothing but rubble...
Yun Kun...
Xu Long silently murmured the Daoist name. He had never seen the person in person, only heard it from Yun Ya and Yun Feng through telepathy.
In the telepathic communication, Yun Feng spoke highly of him, which piqued Xu Long's curiosity: what kind of person was this person?
As Yun Peng and Yun Feng were the first to enter the fragmented space, the cultivators in the arena began to enter one by one.
Xu Long slowly moved his body in the corner, looking at the magnificent hall where the final selection would begin.
