Xuanyin Sect, nothing more than that

"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary," Ning Cheng replied calmly. He glanced at the disciples of the Beast Control Sect who had crossed the valley and started drawing lots, and said, "This junior brother is probably in the top five in terms of overall strength among all the Beast Control Sect disciples."

"Top five," many people exchanged glances, noticing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"This disciple is already so strong. If he's in the top five, what kind of talent must the first-place disciple be?"

"In this competition, it seems that the first place will fall into the hands of the Beast Control Sect."

Xuanyin Sect's Zheng Chuan, dressed in black robes, showed a sly smile on his face. He looked at Li Xun, who was not far away, closing his eyes to rest, and continued, "I just don't know why the disciples of Xuanyang Sect are still so hesitant. Are they unsure about crossing the valley?"

"Is it possible that they are not confident in crossing the valley?" These words came out, and many people turned their gaze toward the mountains on the other side.

On the edge of the cliff, fifty Xuanyang Sect disciples huddled together, showing no intention of crossing the valley yet. "Maybe they want to conserve their strength," someone attempted to smooth things over. "Ah."

Zheng Chuan sneered and joked, "You'll have to pass this obstacle sooner or later. How can you conserve your strength?"

"In my opinion, Xuanyang Sect is probably in a bind..."

"Noisy!"

Before Zheng Chuan could finish speaking, Li Xun opened his eyes. He turned around and glanced at the other party, his eyes shining with a divine light that shot out like a sharp sword.

A roar echoed through the void. "Um?"

Zheng Chuan's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. He was extremely alarmed. He never expected that Li Xun would dare to take action at this moment!

Where did he find the courage?

Didn't he realize that not far away, there was a stand with elders from various sects and King Zhenbei of the Great Zhou royal family sitting on it?

Before he could think too much, the divine light was already in front of him. His hands glowed, and he used his lifelong cultivation to try to intercept the divine light.

Li Xun's reputation was so well known that no one dared to underestimate him, even with just a casual attack. "Bang~~!"

Zheng Chuan clasped his fingers together, but the powerful strike he had anticipated never came. The divine light dissipated the moment it made contact with him.

Instead, his palm suddenly grasped at the air, causing a series of explosions.

Could it be...

That he had been played?

Zheng Chuan reacted swiftly, his face alternating between pale and flushed. He was clearly extremely furious. Anyone who had been taunted in such a manner would likely be displeased.

After all, among those present, there were more than a dozen geniuses of the same generation, and not far away sat the elders, along with the King of Zhenbei from the Zhou Dynasty. If nothing unexpected had occurred...

It was possible that everyone had witnessed his recent performance.

It was just a glance from others, and he responded with all his strength. If it was really a magical power, then that would be it.

But the key point is that they were just teasing him, and he didn't see the truth. He stood up in a serious manner, preparing for a fight.

At this moment, the entire Xuanyin Sect may be in disgrace. "Li Xun!"

Zheng Chuan coldly squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

Now he is even angrier than Ning Cheng yesterday, because Ning Cheng just failed to regain his position, but he was treated like a monkey.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, he may be unable to bear it now. "What? Do you want to take this opportunity to discuss with me first?" Li Xun also looked unkind.

He wasn't too curious about today's competition because with Ye Han's participation, although there would be twists and turns in the process, the final result was almost certain.

After all, in a competition involving the protagonist, who is the first place? Do you still need to ask?

Therefore, Li Xun planned to practice the Dayan Divine Art quietly. It would be enough to sit here for a day and go through the motions.

But what he didn't expect was that he would be provoked again and again by Zheng Chuan. If he didn't show his response to the provocation, those three words of Xuanyang Sect would be completely trampled under Zheng Chuan's feet.

"Snort!"

Zheng Chuan snorted coldly, glanced at Ning Cheng who was silent, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Li Xun, don't be too arrogant!" He didn't have Ning Cheng's confidence; he just wanted to talk, not actually fight.

That's simply impossible!

He was able to achieve what he is today, but he took a lot of pills. It can be said that he can't bully people at a lower level, but compared with a genius like Li Xun, he doesn't stand a chance.

"The Xuanyin Sect is nothing more than that!" Li Xun said indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, all the geniuses in the entire stands looked at him sideways.

Li Xun's words did not evade the people present but were spoken calmly. This was not just directed at Zheng Chuan but rather a direct insult to the entire Xuanyin Sect.

There are probably people in the other stands who can't sit still, right?

Many people turned their gaze toward the other stand, and sure enough, everyone saw a thin old man there, blowing his beard and glaring as if he wanted to devour someone.

He is none other than the elder of the Xuanyin Sect who came with him on this trip.

"Li Xun, you are very bold... one day, I will make you pay the price!"

Zheng Chuan looked at Li Xun with intense hatred, clenching his palms together so tightly that the joints turned white, making a creaking sound that made people's teeth ache.

This time, he learned his lesson wisely and did not continue to speak but kept his thoughts to himself.

Time passed...

An hour later, out of the originally more than 10,000 people, only fewer than 3,000 remained after being screened by the valley.

The first level was so brutal, beyond many people's expectations.

In many sects, nearly half of the people were left on the other side of the valley. Only the Beast Control Sect, with only a few disciples, did not come over.

This was simply unbelievable to other sects.

Xuanyang Sect was not doing too bad, but it was also not doing well. Out of fifty people, twenty had been eliminated. However, Ye Han's crossing of the valley had caused a sensation.

Because those who crossed the valley were all at the Spiritual Yun Realm.

He was the only one in the late stage of the Yuan Qi realm who participated in the subsequent competition.

Although he had crossed the valley, in the eyes of many people, Ye Han's path would end here as all his opponents were in the spiritual realm.

How could he compete?

Even if he could defeat one opponent, he couldn't win consistently.

"Has the drawing started?"

Someone whispered.

The three thousand people below had already begun to line up to draw lots. After drawing lots, everyone was looking for their competition platform.

It didn't take long.

On each of the three hundred competition platforms, two figures stood.

"Ye Han's luck is really bad. He encountered a disciple of the Xuanyin Sect when he came up. His strength seems to be in the middle stage of the Spiritual Yun Realm."

A core disciple from Yellow Maple Valley glanced at the arena, and after seeing Ye Han's figure, he couldn't help but murmur softly.
