"The people from the Daluo Sect have arrived!"

At this moment, nearly ten thousand disciples of the Jiuhua Sect had already gathered at the Jiuhua Sect’s arena.

Upon seeing the group of people, the entire arena was in uproar.

All the disciples were staring at the group from the Daluo Sect, their eyes filled with anger.

Meanwhile, the group from the Daluo Sect mostly had expressions of arrogance and disdain.

On the high platform, three parties of Golden Core Cultivators were sitting.

In the center were the Jiuhua Sect cultivators, naturally acting as the hosts, while on the left were five white-haired elders, among whom is Elder Peng.

On the right were Ao Langtian and others from the Daluo Sect.

As for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Daluo Sect, they were arranged on one side of the platform.

Although they numbered only over a hundred, at this moment, in front of thousands of Jiuhua Sect disciples, they were all calm and composed.

Just this aura alone made a few Golden Core Cultivators of the Jiuhua Sect exchange glances, gaining a sense of seriousness in their eyes.

After sitting down, Elder Peng directly spoke:

"Sect Leader Yu, Fellow Daoist Ao, let’s skip the pleasantries. The rules of the contest were already agreed upon in the alliance.

In that case, why don’t both of you call out the disciples from your sects who are participating in the contest?"

"Alright!" Ao Langtian once again took the lead and waved his hand.

Immediately, three cultivators flew out from the crowd of over a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, landing on the high platform.

The three appeared quite young, yet they were all Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.

The one in the center looked only about twenty-four or twenty-five, wearing a white magic robe, with rather extraordinary looks and a faint arrogance on his face.

The person on the left appeared slightly older, but only around thirty-four or thirty-five, and was not tall.

The person on the right also looked about thirty-four or thirty-five, tall and had a stern appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Peng, these are the three disciples from our Daluo Sect participating in the contest. Why don’t you three salute the seniors?"

After Ao Langtian spoke, the young man in the white robe in the center clasped his hands first.

"Junior Ao Xuan greets the seniors!"

"So this is Fellow Daoist Ao’s son," Elder Peng looked at Ao Xuan at this moment and nodded with a smile.

At the same time, a burst of discussion emerged among the Jiuhua Mountain disciples below.

"Ao Xuan, the genius disciple of the Daluo Sect, I’ve heard he has the Fire Attribute Celestial Spirit Root."

"Indeed he is a Celestial Spirit Root disciple. He reached Foundation Establishment at eighteen, and now is not even seventy but has already reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Daluo Sect people speculate he can form a Core before a hundred."

"They say he is a Pill and Artifact Cultivator, especially skilled in Alchemy, and his Divine Techniques are powerful. He previously sparred with various Same Tier cultivators within the alliance without losing."

"Alright, stop boosting his morale here and diminishing our own prestige."

...

Even though the discussion among the Jiuhua Sect disciples was not loud, it still reached the ears of the Daluo Sect disciples.

In an instant, the over a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Daluo Sect showed expressions of pride.

At this moment, the other two from the Daluo Sect also introduced themselves.

The shorter Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator was named Gu Guanlin, while the stern-looking one was named Leng Daichun.

After the three cultivators from the Daluo Sect finished introducing themselves, Yu Changge waved his hand, and three cultivators also flew out from the Jiuhua Sect side.

It was Lu Jiakang, Yuan Rongzhang, and He Yanmao.

As soon as the three appeared, the Jiuhua Sect disciples below erupted into uproar.

"We only have one Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator."

"Where is Master Chu? He is the Chief Steward of the Alchemy Pavilion, why can’t we see him?"

"Yeah, why don’t we see Master Chu? We heard he was going to participate."

"I heard he went into Secluded Cultivation and hasn’t come out in time."

"What are we going to do about this!"

...

At this moment, the faces of the Jiuhua Sect disciples were filled with worry.

Chu Ning had been in the Jiuhua Sect for eight years, and his Alchemy skills had long been renowned throughout the sect.

Despite refining only a few batches of Elixirs every six months, the quality always being superb.

Furthermore, he would refine the Elixirs most needed by the sect.

Everyone in the sect already knew that the Foundation Establishment Alchemists from the Alchemy Pavilion had received guidance in Alchemy Technique from Chu Ning.

However, now, Chu Ning cannot participate, which no doubt feels like a cold wake-up call to everyone.

Ao Langtian laughed loudly when he saw the three people from the Jiuhua Sect coming out to fight.

"Sect Leader Yu, it seems the Jiuhua Sect really has no successors. Sending two Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivators to fight, hahaha."

Yu Changge spoke softly, his voice resonating in the sky above the entire Jiuhua Sect.

"Everyone knows that due to the internal chaos three thousand years ago, our Jiuhua Sect suffered severe losses, and to this day, we are unable to flourish and return to our peak period.

Because of this, entering the battlefield relic this time is exceedingly crucial for our Jiuhua Sect.

Yet, your Daluo Sect does not think of past relations, forgets your obligation, and obstructs us. Our Jiuhua Sect can only strive to do our best in a fight.

We may be slightly inferior in Realm, but the determination to revive the Jiuhua Sect’s glory is strong enough to forge ahead fearlessly for everyone."

"Well said!!!"

"Well said, Sect Leader!!"

As Yu Changge’s words fell, suddenly, excitement and enthusiasm surged on the faces of Jiuhua Sect disciples in the arena.

With the momentum of ten thousand people, the stance was shocking for a moment!

The smile on Ao Langtian’s face disappeared.

He hadn’t expected that, originally aiming to strike a blow to the Jiuhua Sect’s momentum with his words.

After Yu Changge spoke, it instead turned into words inspiring the entire sect’s morale.

"Hmph, Sect Leader Yu, as you said yourself, don’t rely on lip service, let’s talk about your match." Ao Langtian snorted coldly.
