Chapter 913: Maple Flower Valley (Subscription Request)_1

As the words fell, the disciples who were participating in the grand competition of the five sects all burst forth with spiritual power, and immediately began to levitate with their swords, hovering in mid-air...

Seeing this, Xu Sheng and his two companions promptly joined the group...

Following Luo Yun and the other two Elders as they took the lead in dashing forward with their swords, the disciples of Tianlong Sect trailed behind...

Along the way...

The disciples of Tianlong Sect began to discuss quietly amongst themselves...

One disciple, looking troubled, said, "What were the Sect Master and the Elders thinking? Even our sect's four most talented senior brothers have fallen to demon cultivators. Why do we still have to participate in the grand competition between the five sects?"

Another disciple nodded and added, "Exactly, I've heard from the senior brothers who participated before that the disciples sent out by the other Four Great Sects are at least at the Profound Immortal Realm Level Six, and they're simply not ones we, who are at the Profound Immortal Realm Level Two or Three, can contend with!"

Hearing these words, the other disciples all glanced at them...

"What are you daydreaming about? We disciples are just there to make up the numbers. Did you really think everyone could compete against disciples from the other sects?"

"That's right. It's not all of us who will actually face off in the competition, but only a handful can really challenge the disciples from other sects. However, this time, our Tianlong Sect is probably going to end up at the bottom!"

"I see. That's a relief. I was worried I'd have to go up there and lose face myself!"

These words, without missing a single one, entered the ears of Luo Yun and the two Elders. There was no expression on the former's face...

If Xu Sheng hadn't participated, it was already a foregone conclusion that Tianlong Sect would be at the bottom!

As for the two Elders, they stiffened their faces and scolded angrily, "Shut up! Is it so shameful to fight on behalf of the sect?"

"Let us not hear such talk of bolstering others' morale while crushing our own spirit again!"

After these angry words were spoken, the whispering disciples immediately clammed up and said no more...

Nobody wanted to stir up trouble at such a time...

At that moment, Luo Yun turned his head to look at Xu Sheng and said gravely, "Xu Sheng, most of your opponents this time are of the Profound Immortal Boundary, but it's not impossible that someone from the Earth Immortal Realm might appear! You must not be careless!"

But they would be at most at Earth Immortal Realm Level One or Two, which couldn't compare at all with Xu Sheng's cultivation level!

In just a few days, Xu Sheng certainly couldn't have learned much in the Tianlong Sect's Martial Skill Pavilion, so he could only rely on his own strength now!

Xu Sheng gave Luo Yun a glance and said indifferently, "Mm, Sect Master Luo, I will fulfill what I've promised you, but..."

Luo Yun was momentarily taken aback, then seemed to realize something and said seriously, "Don't worry, I've already prepared the spirit stones in advance! If you're worried, I can give them to you now!"

With that said, he pulled out a Storage Cosmos Bag that contained a staggering hundreds of thousands of spirit stones—a not insignificant sum!

However, as long as Tianlong Sect could take first place in the grand competition of the five sects, these so-called spirit stones would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket...

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered a few times, "Sect Master Luo, you've misunderstood my meaning. What I mean is that, after the competition among the five sects is settled, I will be leaving immediately."

He did not wish to attract a host of troubles after solving Tianlong Sect's problem, which would delay his travel to Central State...

Moreover, regarding the rift leading to the Douluo plane from this realm, he had not a single clue yet!

After gazing at Xu Sheng for a few seconds, Luo Yun nodded and said, "Of course!"

It was just an exchange of favors, after all...

...

Later on, Luo Yun and his group made three or four stops to replenish their spiritual power while flying on their swords...

Finally, on the morning of the second day, they arrived at the location of the Five Sects Grand Competition!

There were no ostentatious sceneries here, only a huge mountain that nestled among the layers of hills and ridges. If one looked from the top down, they could discern an altitude of thousands of meters...

Beyond that, the entire mountain was shrouded in a mist that spilled into the air, set against the backdrop of lush greenery and raging rivers, it indeed resembled a fairyland...

Upon seeing this scene, the eyes of the Tianlong Sect Disciples flickered continuously with dazzled amazement...

It seemed they had not anticipated that the place they were coming to would be such a feng shui treasure!

For a time, exclamations of surprise escaped from the mouths of these Tianlong Sect Disciples...

"What a beautiful place! Is this where the Five Sects Grand Competition is going to be held?"

"Yes! Even though I've heard the Senior Brothers mention it, I never expected it to be this breathtakingly beautiful."

"Look quick! There are even Monster Beasts in the depths!"

Lin Moxue and Ling Yue were naturally drawn to it as well, with the former saying softly, "What a beautiful place! Right, Ling Yue?"

The latter nodded slightly in agreement, and sighing, said, "Yes! I didn't want to come at first..."

A flicker of surprise appeared in Xu Sheng's eyes as well, but it faded in an instant...

He had seen too many beautiful places, so in comparison, this place could only be said to be quite ordinary, but also quite nice...

Subsequently, he released a bit of Spiritual Power, covering the entire mountain in an instant, and immediately felt numerous Spirit Force Fluctuations...

In a soft voice, he asked, "Have the people from the other Four Great Sects already arrived?"

In his perception, there were at least four individuals above the Sixth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, and he estimated there were about a hundred disciples below the Earth Immortal Realm, which wasn't many...

Luo Yun's profound eyes swept over the Tianlong Sect Disciples and said, "This place is known as Maple Flower Valley. It is not named after a peak, and it is also where the Five Sects Grand Competition takes place. Let's go, everyone follow me!"

This statement brought all the Tianlong Sect Disciples back from their astonishment at Maple Flower Valley; the next moment, they immediately followed Luo Yun deeper into the valley...

Before long, after passing through dense woods, the view suddenly opened up...

Subsequently, all the Tianlong Sect Disciples saw before them disciples wearing different robes!

Their gazes were all firmly fixed on the incoming people from the Tianlong Sect...

Before Luo Yun could speak, the Sect Masters standing at the forefront of the sect disciples spoke up with displeasure, "Sect Master Luo, your Tianlong Sect is quite late this time!"

"Indeed, if it weren't for the Five Sects Grand Competition, we were even ready to start without you!"

"To arrive so late, has the Tianlong Sect become so arrogant recently that you no longer pay heed to our four sects?"

Luo Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and with an unchanged expression, he responded, "I apologize for making everyone wait. The Tianlong Sect recently encountered some issues, which disrupted our original plans... "

Upon hearing this, one of the Sect Masters sneered, "Disrupted your plans? I think it's because the talented disciples of the Tianlong Sect had accidents, affecting this Five Sects Grand Competition, right?"

Another Sect Master, with a hint of mockery, said, "Yes! We had actually thought that the Tianlong Sect might opt to postpone the competition, but to our surprise, you still came! It's truly remarkable."

Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Luo Yun's hand tightened slightly...

Why would they know about Yin Luo and the others' demise?

Could it be that...

His face, however, remained expressionless as he swept a glance over the other Sect Masters and coldly said, "This is an internal matter of our sect, there's no need for all the Elders to worry. Let's start the Five Sects Grand Competition without further delay..."
