Fang Chen was speechless when he heard Zhu Tian's words. He quickly left the manor.
Fang Chen arrived at the Heavenly Elixir Hall and found Master Tianhe. Master Tianhe smiled when he saw Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, you're here." Master Tianhe grinned.
Fang Chen nodded and asked, "Master Tianhe, what's the situation recently?"
Master Tianhe naturally knew that Fang Chen was asking about the competition between the Heavenly Elixir Hall and the Elixir Dispensary. He immediately said, "The Royal Family is paying great attention to the upcoming Sect Competition. The Royal Family has sent a high ranking official over and asked us to temporarily schedule the battle. Everything will be discussed after the Sect Competition."
"The Elixir Dispensary has reached a temporary agreement with us. They will not fight during the Sect Competition." Master Tianhe added.
Fang Chen nodded when he heard this.
In this way, the Heavenly Elixir Hall would have more time to prepare and their chances of winning would be higher.
Early the next morning, the entire Imperial Capital was bustling with noise and excitement. Countless martialists poured into the Imperial Capital from outside.
The Royal Family attached great importance to the Imperial Capital Sect Competition. They set up a strict checkpoint at the city gate to check on the martialists who came from outside. They were afraid that some people would cause trouble.
Even so, a large number of martialists still poured into the Imperial Capital.
In the most central square of the Imperial Capital, there was a sea of people. Countless heads were moving about.
The Imperial Capital Square was heavily guarded by the Royal Family. At the edge of the Imperial Capital Square, there was a large number of iron fences that separated the Imperial Capital Square from the surrounding streets.
The Imperial Capital Square was huge. In the middle of the Imperial Capital Square, there was a huge martial arts arena. There were more than ten resting areas around the arena.
In front of the martial arts arena was the rostrum. At this moment, the rostrum was empty. There was not a single person on it.
Time passed by slowly. A deafening sound was heard in the Imperial Capital Square. Then, the crowd realized that the First Prince had arrived.
The First Prince led a group of people to the Imperial Capital Square. Among them were the Protector Kings and other princes.
The arrival of the First Prince brought the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Square to its peak.
"First Prince!" Many warriors cried out in alarm.
The First Prince nodded at the crowd and finally sat on the rostrum. The King and the others sat behind the First Prince.
Soon after the First Prince arrived, the Eighth Prince arrived at the Imperial City Square.
The Eighth Prince's formation was the same as the Eldest Prince's. Behind him were many Marquises with different surnames. One of them was the Heaven Fiend Marquis.
"Big brother, I didn't expect you to come so early." The eighth prince narrowed his eyes and looked at the eldest prince on the rostrum with a smile.
"Eighth Brother, you're not too late." The First Prince said calmly.
Then, the eighth prince sat on the rostrum.
The Eighth Prince and the Eldest Prince represented the entire Imperial Family. They were the first to arrive, which was enough to show how much importance the Imperial Family placed on this Sect Tournament.
Next, the first to arrive at the Imperial City Square was Tianyan Mountain. Tianyan Mountain was considered mid-tier among the Top Ten Sect.
Back in the ancient ruins, Tianyan Mountain's top outer sect disciple, Feng Xueshan, had been killed by Fang Chen. Even now, the upper echelons of Tianyan Mountain did not know who had killed Feng Xueshan.
The leader of Tianyan Mountain this time was the Mountain Lord of Tianyan Mountain. He exuded a terrifying aura. Behind him were the elites of Tianyan Mountain.
In Tianyan Mountain, three disciples had entered the Qi Ranking. These three disciples were also the most outstanding disciples of Tianyan Mountain.
"Look, the people of Tianyan Mountain are here. The leader must be the Mountain Lord of Tianyan Mountain."
"Tianyan Mountain's formation this time is quite big. I wonder if Fengyun can advance further on the Qi Ranking."
"Fengyun is the most outstanding disciple of Tianyan Mountain. His cultivation has long reached the peak of the Ninth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm. He is also ranked 13th on the Qi Ranking. He is very strong."
Many warriors were discussing. Behind the Mountain Lord of Tianyan Mountain, a man in white appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
He was Fengyun, the most outstanding disciple of Tianyan Mountain. He was ranked 13th on the Qi Ranking.
"Mountain Lord Feng, your Tianyan Mountain is quite early." The First Prince smiled and greeted the people of Tianyan Mountain.
"Mountain Lord Feng, Fengyun of Tianyan Mountain is even stronger. This time, there is hope for the top three." The Eighth Prince smiled.
After that, the people of Tianyan Mountain began to sit down.
Next, the Top Ten Sect's Flaming Mountain, Breeze Lake, Specter Valley, Sky Knife Sect, Tianyu Lake, Wood Dragon Stronghold, Tianyu Pavilion, Azure Wave Ridge, and Yu Hong Academy all arrived.
The most surprising thing was that the Gu Clan had come with Tianyu Lake and Wood Dragon Stronghold. The Gu Clan had not revealed their strength all these years. No one knew the true strength of the Gu Clan.
Even some warriors in Anyan County did not know. They only knew that the Tianyu Lake and Wood Dragon Stronghold, as one of the Top Ten Sect, were very wary of the Gu Clan.
"I didn't expect the Gu Clan to also participate in the Sect Competition." The First Prince narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"The Gu Clan's overall strength is not inferior to the Top Ten Sect. This time, they probably want to be one of the Top Ten Sect." The Eighth Prince said.
The last force to arrive was Kamikaze Kenbu.
The appearance of Kamikaze Kenbu attracted everyone's attention in the entire square.
Kamikaze Kenbu was very mysterious in Shengfeng Country. Some warriors did not even know where they were located. They only knew that they were in the Holy Wind Mountain Range.
The disciples of Kamikaze Kenbu had been fighting with monsters in the Holy Wind Mountain Range all year round. They had rich combat experience. It was difficult to find a worthy opponent in the same realm.
This time, Kamikaze Kenbu came aggressively. They also wanted to be one of the Top Ten Sect.
"As expected, the Gu Clan is here." Fang Chen glanced around and found the Gu Clan. He also found the other two forces in Anyan County.
"Let's go."
The First Elder said in a deep voice. He then led everyone to a resting area in the west. This was Kamikaze Kenbu's resting area.
After the twelve major powers had all arrived, the First Prince slowly stood up, looked around, and said with a smile: "Today is the day of the Heavenly Wind Nation's Great Sect Competition. This humble one is fortunate enough to host this grand competition, it is a great honor."
As soon as the First Prince finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause in the square.
Then, the Eighth Prince stood up and said, "This time, Big Brother and I will be hosting the competition together. I hope everyone can cooperate."
"This Sect Competition aims to improve the strength of the disciples. Therefore, during the competition, there can be no intentional killing. Once found, there will be severe punishment. Of course, we can't rule out some unexpected incidents." The First Prince said.
The eighth prince nodded and said, "Everyone knows the rules of the competition. The twelve forces will each choose twenty elite disciples to fight against each other. Each victory will accumulate one point. The one with the highest points will enter the finals."
"The Imperial Family attaches great importance to this year's Great Sect Competition. After the Great Sect Competition ends, the Imperial Family will rewrite the ranking of the Divine Wind Nation's Qi Ranking. Moreover, the martial artists who can get into the top three of this year's Great Sect Competition will be heavily rewarded." The Eldest Prince said.
After the First Prince and the Eighth Prince finished speaking, a white-haired old man appeared on the stage. He was the judge of this year's competition. He was also a highly respected Qi Hai Realm warrior in the Royal Family. With him here, he could prevent any unexpected incidents.
After everyone had finished speaking, it was time for the exciting competition.
Kamikaze Kenbu had already chosen twenty elite disciples. Other than the Five Kings and the Eight Kings, there were a few others. One of them was Tong Yun.
Tong Yun's strength was second only to the Eight Kings in Kamikaze Kenbu. Therefore, it was expected that he would be chosen this time.
After a while, the order of the competition was announced. In the first round, Kamikaze Kenbu's opponent was Flaming Mountain.
The huge Martial Arts Practice Ring was directly divided into six smaller Martial Arts Practice Rings. Each Martial Arts Practice Ring could hold a match without interfering with each other.
When the judge announced the start of the competition, the disciples of the other Sect leaped onto the stage.
Kamikaze Kenbu's stage was number one. Their opponent was Flaming Mountain.
The first disciple to step onto the stage was Tong Yun. His opponent was also a warrior of the Ninth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Tong Yun."
"Huo Shan."
After the two of them exchanged names, they immediately began to fight.
Bang bang bang!
However, after the battle, Tong Yun's strength was clearly much stronger than Huo Shan's. Under the blinding light of Tong Yun's sword, Huo Shan fell to the ground.
"Tong Yun wins."
In the first battle, Tong Yun won, earning one point for Kamikaze Kenbu.
Time passed slowly. The Five Kings and the Eight Kings did not make a move. The ones who did were the weaker disciples.
Besides Tong Yun, there were six other disciples on Kamikaze Kenbu's side. After an hour, these six disciples had lost three matches and won three matches.
In this way, after seven matches, Kamikaze Kenbu had obtained four points, while Flaming Mountain had only obtained three points.
At this moment, in the Flaming Mountain area, the eyes of the Flaming Mountain's Mountain Lord flashed coldly. He stared in the direction of Kamikaze Kenbu.
"All of you, fight well. Try to win against Kamikaze Kenbu," the Flaming Mountain Mountain Lord said coldly.
Flaming Mountain was one of the Top Ten Sect. They were very proud and believed that Kamikaze Kenbu was no match for them. The previous seven matches were just an appetizer.
As he spoke, a young man in black walked up to the number one martial arts arena in the Flaming Mountain area.
"Fire Qilin."
Seeing this figure, the crowd exclaimed. This person was one of the best among the younger generation of Flaming Mountain. His name was Fire Qilin, and he was widely recognized as the strongest person on the Aura Ranking this time.
Seeing Fire Qilin on the arena, the Eight Kings wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by Fang Chen. Fang Chen could sense that Fire Qilin's strength was comparable to an expert on the Aura Ranking. The Eight Kings were no match for him.
"Let me."
Fang Chen took a step forward and stepped onto the number one martial arts arena.
"Fire Qilin," Fire Qilin said coldly.
"Fang Chen." Fang Chen grinned. There was no fear on his face.
"Brat, I don't know you. You must be a nobody. When I, the Fire Qilin, attack, my power is extraordinary. You should admit defeat now. Otherwise, you will be crippled," the Fire Qilin said arrogantly.
