The Surprising Apparition

Surprise flashed in his dark eyes as he took a glance. He whispered to Feng Jiu, who was in his protective arms. "Ah Jiu, it seems that we are in someone's sect."

"Huh?" Feng Jiu poked her head out from under his embrace to take a look. She couldn't help but be surprised by what she'd seen. "How lively! Are we stumbling onto their annual tournament?"

They could see a huge crowd of people down below. There seemed to be different sects since they wore uniform-coloured robes at each specific location. The two men who had been competing on the high platform in the middle stopped as well, startled by their sudden apparition.

The people below were similarly astonished. Several sects were competing in the annual tournament at the time. All of a sudden, a blinding light shot across the sky, a vortex emerged, and a figure in black appeared in their line of sight.
