The return of Xi Qing and the others caused a commotion in the square.
Everyone was shocked. Hadn't he already died in the Level Mountain Secret Realm?
How did they appear here unscathed?
Moreover, their auras seemed to be very strong. What was going on?
Even the armored commander on the rostrum, who was about to leave, was shocked.
"Who are these people?"
The woman in yellow asked when she saw the crowd's reaction.
"Didn't they die?"
The armored commander did not answer the woman's question. Instead, he muttered to himself.
Whoosh!
The entire square was in an uproar.
The disciples of the Sword Firmament Sect came to Xi Qing and the others.
"Xi Qing, you're back."
Xi Qing and the others nodded.
When they had just returned, Xi Qing and the others had already heard that the Fengtian Palace was selecting a new junior commander today.
At this moment, Feng Hong and Feng Yu's expressions were extremely grave.
"What happened?"
The armored commander walked down from the rostrum and asked Xi Qing and the others.
"Commander Tie Jia, we were trapped in a desperate situation and couldn't get out," Xi Qing explained. "In the end, we managed to return safely after losing a few of our brothers."
Xi Qing briefly recounted what had happened.
The armored commander nodded slightly after listening to the story.
When the Great Mountain Secret Realm had closed, the guardian elder had said that Xi Qing and the others had died in the secret realm.
Who would have thought that they would return safely after a few months?
"It's good that you're back," the armored commander said.
"Since senior brother Xi Qing has returned, the position of Junior Commander will naturally be senior brother Xi Qing's," Gu Fang said.
The position of junior commander was considered a high position in the Fengtian Palace.
Gu Fang was fighting for Xi Qing.
"The selection is over. Feng Hong will be the junior commander of the Fengtian Palace," Feng Yu said.
"The position of junior commander belongs to the capable. I think Senior Brother Feng Hong is more suitable for the position than Xi Qing," another Fengtian Sect disciple said.
The disciples of the Ancient Dao Sect watched from the side.
The armored commander looked around and pondered for a moment.
"Xi Qing, we thought that you had died, so we started the selection. Now, the junior commander has been selected," the armored commander said.
Before the armored commander could finish speaking, Xi Qing interjected.
"Iron Armor Commander, I won't make things difficult for you."
Xi Qing slowly said, "Since the Fengtian Sect's disciple says that he has the ability to obtain the position of junior commander, then I, Xi Qing, challenge Feng Hong. Is that possible?"
Hearing this, the armored commander nodded.
As the Iron Armor Commander, his words were worth a thousand gold.
The results that had just been announced naturally could not be changed.
Xi Qing knew that he was in a difficult position, so he directly challenged Feng Hong.
"Alright, you challenge Feng Hong. The winner will be the junior commander." The armored commander laughed loudly.
Immediately, everyone looked at Xi Qing and Feng Hong with burning eyes.
Humph
Feng Hong snorted coldly and stepped onto the martial arts stage.
Fang Chen remained in the crowd, not saying a word.
Needless to say, Feng Hong was no match for Senior Brother Xi Qing in this battle.
"Xi Qing, I'll show you how powerful I am in this battle."
Feng Hong was very arrogant and thought that Xi Qing was no match for him.
Moreover, in his heart, he greatly desired the position of Junior Commander.
Since Xi Qing was competing with him, then Xi Qing was his enemy.
Of course, he couldn't be merciful to his enemy.
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability."
What kind of joke was this? Although luck played a part in Xi Qing's survival in the Star Ruin for such a long time, it also proved Xi Qing's strength.
The current Xi Qing was considered strong even among the junior commanders.
He didn't believe that Feng Hong could defeat him with his cultivation level of Heaven Star Border Stage Five.
Fengtian Sect's Feng Yu also looked at Xi Qing mockingly.
Originally, Feng Hong had already obtained the position of junior commander.
Who would have thought that Xi Qing would come back?
If Feng Hong became the junior commander, then Fengtian Sect would have two junior commanders.
It would be very beneficial for their future development.
"Feng Hong, end this quickly."
Feng Yu said in a deep voice.
Feng Hong nodded and used the Absolute Seal Technique.
Instantly, his body was surrounded by powerful seals.
"I'd like to see how you're going to break my Absolute Seal Technique." Feng Hong said coldly.
The armored commander stood quietly on the main stage.
The woman in a light yellow dress was also a little surprised.
She already knew that those who had just returned were the Sword Firmament Sect's disciples who were rumored to have died in the secret realm.
"They've already died. Why are they here?" The lady in yellow was confused.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Hong and Xi Qing started fighting.
Boom!
When Xi Qing unleashed his cultivation level of Heaven Star Border Stage Five, the entire arena shook.
Whoosh!
A sharp and domineering sword-light tore through the void and pierced the seal.
Crack!
A crack appeared on the seal.
"What a terrifying attack."
Gu Chen from the Ancient Dao Sect was shocked.
The battle on the arena was intense.
Xi Qing didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, so he unleashed his strongest combat strength.
Although he couldn't break the Absolute Seal Technique, he could still attack Feng Hong from afar.
Under the pressure of Xi Qing's sword light, Feng Hong finally walked out of the seal and started fighting with Xi Qing.
"Let's end this."
Xi Qing bellowed as he unleashed his strongest attack.
Rumble!
A deafening sound came from the martial arts arena.
Sword Qi that was as vast as smoke spread out.
Everyone was curious about who had won.
A moment later, the Sword Qi dissipated. On the stage, Xi Qing's sword was pressed against Feng Hong's neck.
"You lost."
Xi Qing put away his sword and said softly.
The arena was filled with cheers.
Xi Qing was too strong. Feng Hong couldn't even fight back and was defeated.
Even the armored commander nodded in satisfaction.
All of this was within Fang Chen's expectations.
"Damn it!"
Feng Hong was filled with resentment, but he didn't dare to do anything in front of the armored commander.
He flung his sleeves and left.
"Good, very good. Xi Qing defeated Feng Hong and is now the commander of the Heavenly Sealing Palace," the armored commander announced.
The Sword Firmament Sect's disciples were excited.
Xi Qing looked at the Blood Sword Saint from the practice field.
The latter grinned and exchanged glances with Xi Qing. Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he stepped onto the stage.
"What is Sanguinati doing?"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Junior Brother Xue, I have faith in you," Xi Qing patted Sanguinati's shoulder and said softly.
Then, Xi Qing walked down the arena.
Fang Chen was the only one standing quietly on the huge Martial Arts Practice Platform.
His gaze fell on the armored commander.
"Officer Tie Jia, Officer Tie Jia, the position of Junior Officer is up to you. Since that's the case, can I take the position of Junior Officer?"
Fang Chen's words spread throughout the arena.
Countless martial artists were stunned.
Was Sanguinati crazy? How could he compete for the position of the junior commander with his strength?
"You want the position of junior commander?" asked the armored commander. His expression didn't change.
Fang Chen nodded. Then, he extended his finger and pointed at Feng Yu, who was below the stage.
"I want to challenge Feng Yu."
The armored commander didn't say anything and just looked at Feng Yu.
His meaning was clear.
Feng Yu was furious.
A fellow at the Profound King Realm dared to challenge him.
"Sanguinati, you're courting death. Don't blame me for it."
Feng Yu leaped up onto the martial arts stage, his entire body brimming with frenzied killing intent.
On the main stage, the woman in yellow looked at Fang Chen and asked, "Who is he?"
"Sanguinati, a disciple of the Sky Sealing Palace."
On the arena.
"Feng Yu, you're not my match. Give up the position of the junior commander," Fang Chen said.
At this moment, the Blood Sword Saint gave off a feeling of arrogance.
However, only Xi Qing and the others knew that Sanguinati had the right to be arrogant.
"Hmph, I hope you can be as arrogant as you are now," Feng Yu said.
Crash.
The battle began and Feng Yu used the Absolute Seal Technique.
Seeing this, Fang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Don't you know about Absolute Sealing Techniques? I fear Absolute Sealing Techniques the least."
Just as Fang Chen finished speaking, he suddenly moved his feet and his figure kept moving.
With a wave of his hand, a series of strange hand seals instantly spread out.
Crack.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd heard a crack.
In the next moment, the seal shattered.
Feng Yu was dumbfounded.
"How is this possible?"
Feng Yu's heart shuddered.
Sanguinati was able to break his Absolute Seal Technique in such a short time.
On the rostrum, the armored commander and the woman in the yellow dress were also slightly shaken.
"Not bad," the woman in yellow praised.
After breaking the Absolute Seal Technique, Fang Chen looked down at Feng Yu and said, "Without the Absolute Seal Technique, what else do you have?"
Whoosh.
Ninety-nine sword lights shot out and the Heart Illusion Sword Art was pushed to the limit.
Fang Chen defeated Feng Yu as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Bang.
Feng Yu's body was blasted off the arena.
All the cultivators in the square were stunned.
Stormy waves rose in their hearts.
Sanguinati actually defeated Feng Yu. What was going on?
Of course, the two people on the platform were the most surprised.
"This kid's potential is really heaven-defying," the woman in yellow said with a twinkle in her eyes.
It was really heaven-defying for a ninth level Mystic King to defeat the junior commander of Fengtian Palace so easily.
"Sanguinati is the only Mystic King in the recent batch of newcomers." The armored commander was also amazed by Fang Chen.
It was very difficult to fight above one's level.
Only those peerless geniuses could do it.
However, Sanguinati did it.
At the same time, the armored commander was also very happy.
A peerless genius had appeared in his Fengtian Palace.
"Sanguinati, from now on, you will replace Feng Yu as the new junior commander of Fengtian Palace," the armored commander announced.
