Originally, this mission had been given to someone else.
However, Venerable Hei Chi had gone against everyone's wishes and discussed the pros and cons with the current patriarch of the Xiu Family.
Of course, Venerable Hei Chi had paid a heavy price for this.
However, Venerable Hei Chi believed that it was all worth it.
"Do your best."
Venerable Hei Chi was very confident in Fang Chen.
It was as if he saw the young Venerable Demon Sword in him.
If he had been a little stronger back then, Venerable Demon Sword might not have died.
Over the years, the scene of Venerable Demon Sword's death would appear in Venerable Hei Chi's mind every night.
After chatting with Fang Chen until night fell, Venerable Hei Chi left.
The next day, he came again with some information about the competition.
"There are a total of one hundred and thirty City Lords participating in this competition. There are also more than five hundred wandering cultivators and Profound Star Realm members of the Xiu Family."
The Xiu Family had a deep foundation. Although no one was ranked on the Profound Ranking, they had many Profound Star Realm cultivators.
These Profound Star Realm cultivators were all old monsters who had cultivated for tens of millions of years. They were all very strong.
The ten great generals were very tempting. This competition was unprecedentedly lively.
On the third day after Fang Chen arrived at Venerable Hei Chi's residence, the various forces finally arrived.
Over a thousand participants stood in the middle of the plaza.
Among them, the most eye-catching were the City Lord of Irontooth City, Old Monster Spring Autumn, and Xiu Yichi.
These three stood out among the thousands of participants and were the most popular candidates to become the ten great generals.
The City Lord of Irontooth City was the strongest of the one hundred and eighty City Lords. Although he was only at the Profound Star Realm, his battle prowess was comparable to a Profound Light Realm cultivator.
As for Old Monster Spring Autumn, he was a wandering cultivator and was very famous in the Azure Sky.
He had a cruel personality and would tear anyone who offended him to pieces with his iron claws.
The last person was the strongest Profound Star Realm cultivator of the Xiu Family.
Furthermore, Xiu Yichi was the only son of the Second Elder and was deeply loved by the Xiu Family.
After reading the information, Fang Chen didn't have any serious expression on his face. Instead, he was very relaxed.
"How is it?
Are you confident? "
Venerable Black Red asked, "In this competition, we will first choose the strongest three among the thousands of you. Then, you will challenge the ten great commanders. The winner will become the new commander, and the loser will be eliminated."
"Aside from Old Monster Spring Autumn, who is a bit difficult to deal with, the others are nothing to be afraid of."
On the surface, Old Monster Spring Autumn was the weakest of the three.
However, one should never judge a book by its cover. Fang Chen came to a shocking conclusion from every piece of information. Old Monster Spring Autumn was not as strong as he appeared to be.
"Xiu Yichi is the favorite to win the championship, but according to my guess, his strength should be on par with Irontooth City's Lord."
Fang Chen murmured.
The Irontooth City Lord was one of the people on the must-kill list.
In the Xiu Family's headquarters, people came and went in an endless stream.
More and more martial artists poured into the Xiu Family's headquarters.
In a short few days, the huge city became crowded all of a sudden.
Today, the competition was finally about to begin.
Thousands of contestants stood quietly in the square.
There was a rostrum at the front. A black-clothed old man was seated in the middle. Beside him was Reverend Hei Chi.
"Is that the Xiu Family's Patriarch?"
Fang Chen's heart trembled. The Xiu Family's Patriarch had an aura that made people tremble.
"This is a true Limit Honorable."
Fang Chen sighed.
Although Venerable Soldier Wu was a peak Honorable, his fighting strength was no weaker than a Limit Honorable.
Although the Xiu Family had a strong foundation, it couldn't compare to the five great families.
After all, there were no Ancient God-level powerhouses guarding the Xiu Family's Patriarch.
The Xiu Family's Patriarch was the only one guarding the Xiu Family.
A Limit Honorable was someone who had one foot in the Ancient God-level. They were recognized as the strongest powerhouses in the Primal Chaos Void.
Unless an Ancient God-level powerhouse intervened, a Limit Honorable was the strongest.
"What a powerful aura."
Fang Chen thought to himself.
He could feel that if the Xiu Family's Patriarch intervened, he could instantly destroy a super celestial region.
This was the power of a Limit Honorable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of the Xiu Family's selection of the Ten Great Commanders."
The Xiu Family's Patriarch said indifferently, "Because the Ten Great Commanders have a relatively high status and are relatively important, an election is held every hundred years.
A hundred years ago, a total of three of the Ten Great Commanders changed hands. Today, a hundred years later, I wonder if you can replace them and become the new commanders. "
The Ten Great Commanders were existences above many of the Xiu Family's Elders.
Although they might not be as strong as some of the Xiu Family's Elders, they had a lot of authority.
"We are indebted to everyone for thinking highly of the Xiu Family. This time, a total of a thousand people will participate in the competition. The rules of the competition are very simple. Two on two battles. The loser will be eliminated. In the end, the strongest three will challenge the Ten Great Commanders. The winner will become the new commander."
Speaking up to here, he paused for a moment before continuing, "If someone can become the new commander, he can enjoy all the cultivation resources of the Xiu Family. He will also have the opportunity to challenge the Five Feudal Lords."
The words "Five Feudal Lords" thoroughly ignited the atmosphere.
Everyone knew that the Five Feudal Lords were experts on the same level as the Elders.
They had a lot of authority in the Xiu Family, second only to the Patriarch and the Great Elder.
For countless years, the Ten Great Commanders had been replaced, but the Five Feudal Lords had never changed.
There was an uproar in the square. Countless martial artists were shocked.
The Xiu Family's Patriarch waved his hand, indicating for everyone to be quiet. Shortly after, he said, "Alright, I won't say any more nonsense. The competition will now begin."
The Great Elder, Venerable Hei Chi, briefly explained the rules of the competition. Then, the first round began.
Rumble!
On the martial arts stage, the sound of battle shook the sky.
However, a powerful formation set up by many Profound God Realm Venerables was able to block the energy fluctuations.
Otherwise, if the Profound Star Realm martial artists attacked with their full strength, the entire city would be turned to ashes in an instant.
Dong!
In just a few breaths of time, the result of the first round was announced.
"Fan Shou wins."
The second round continued.
The battles were very intense. After all, this was a once-in-a-century opportunity. No one was willing to give it up.
When it was Fang Chen's turn, it was already ten o 'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, more than three hundred battles had already taken place.
Fang Chen's opponent was a Profound Star Realm City Lord. His strength was similar to the City Lord of Returning Sky City.
"Kid, are you the one who killed the City Lord of Returning Sky City?"
The skinny old man asked coldly. His body was filled with killing intent.
Fang Chen nodded. The news of him replacing the City Lord of Returning Sky City had spread among the one hundred and eighty City Lords.
"Hmph, the City Lord of Returning Sky City is an old friend of this old man. Today, this old man will avenge him."
The square below was filled with discussions.
"Is he the new City Lord of Returning Sky City?"
"He's so young?"
One's appearance could be changed, but one's bone age could not be changed.
Everyone present was a Profound God Realm martial artist. At a glance, they could see Fang Chen's bone age.
In their hearts, they were slightly surprised.
If the rumors were true and he killed the City Lord of Returning Sky City, then his potential was really strong.
"I don't think so. He's so young. Even if he cultivated day and night, it's impossible for him to reach the level of the City Lord of Returning Sky City."
"That's right. I've fought with the City Lord of Returning Sky City. The latter's reputation is not undeserved."
"I saw this guy with Venerable Hei Chi before. The latter must have used some tricks to make his trusted aide become the City Lord."
"Despicable guy. If I meet him, I'll teach him a lesson."
Many people were secretly cursing Fang Chen. There were even some people who were hostile towards Fang Chen.
On the rostrum, the Xiu Clan Patriarch showed a gentle smile.
"He's the guy you were talking about?"
Venerable Hei Chi nodded and transmitted his voice. "Patriarch, he's Fang Chen. He killed the Son Of Sirius and Zong Xiongshan of the Sky Pillar Zong Family. He also took away the Sword of Darkness and destroyed the body of the Son of Darkness."
The Xiu Clan Patriarch nodded. His dark eyes looked at Fang Chen.
After a long time, he nodded with satisfaction.
"His potential is good. His understanding of Sword Dao is strong. Did you teach him the Asura Sword Dao?" The Xiu Clan Patriarch asked.
Venerable Hei Chi smiled but did not say anything.
His relationship with Venerable Demon Sword was known to the world. There was no need to hide anything.
