Raising a Toast in Celebration

Shi Mu and Bai Shi continued to chat as they walked. They soon arrived in the valley between the seventh and the eighth peaks.

This valley was a lot bigger than the one between the eleventh and the twelfth peaks. Colorful flowers and plants could be seen everywhere; it looked like a huge garden. There was a spacious public square in the center of the valley. It seemed to be around a hundred acre wide. There were ten large rings in a row in the public square.

A huge crowd of people had gathered inside the square. Those people were wearing black uniforms of the Black Demon Sect. Shi Mu looked around, and calculated the number of people gathered there to be more than two-thousand. This number was twice more than that of the people gathered at the time of the smaller competition.

It seemed that the Black Demon Sect had enrolled a lot of disciples in the past year.
