Baili Chuanqiong Dome shook his head, paused for a moment, and said, "It’s alright. It’s difficult for the master to speak. Since I’ve opened my mouth this time, do I have a reason to refuse?"

"Besides, it’s no big deal, it’s just me!"

"In this case, the elder will thank the Prince!"

Ao Cangsheng picked up the teacup on the table and looked up at Sichuan’s dome.

The Baili Chuan Dome didn’t decline either, picked up his teacup and drank it all.

After putting down his teacup, Ao Cangsheng stood up and said, "Since I’ve finished drinking, I won’t disturb the Prince any further!"

After saying this, Ao Cangsheng turned and left.

Seeing this, he hastily stood up and said, "I rarely come here. I’ll ensure we maintain good friendship."

Ao Cangsheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need. I know the Prince has been busy lately, so I won’t disturb you."

"Next time I have the chance, I’ll have a good debate with the Prince."

Seeing Ao Cangsheng determined to leave, Baili Chuan Dome was no longer obstructed.

One after another, they escorted Ao Kangsheng to the Ma Family outside.

On such a vast platform, you can see nine tall platforms standing one after another.

Among the high platforms, the fifth platform in the middle is the highest, symbolizing the significance of "Nine-Five."

In front of the high platform, there’s a row of seats arranged from front to back in nine rows.

Besides the nine rows of seats arranged beautifully, the materials of the seats are also very particular.

The first row of seats is carved from high-quality jade. The middle seat is made of the finest jade and is where today’s king sits—the Nine Dragon Jade.

Following this, the materials of the seats gradually decline, from high-quality jade to medium jade, then inferior jade, and finally wooden chairs.

Jinlin Platform was established when the First Emperor of Qin ascended to the throne. It has a history of over 40 years.

Previously, when Tang Country sent troops to fight Zhao Country and Changli, Ao Yunchen was also here.

Even though that war was many years ago.

But at the beginning, the powerful army standing proudly armored still echoed within the vast teaching field.

After the war ended, the first Emperor came here again, entertaining all the princes, ministers, and officials. The atmosphere was very warm.

At this moment, the warm sunshine fell from the sky, covering the entire Jinlin Platform in a layer of golden clothing.

Under this golden glow, countless figures were slowly gathering towards the center of Jinlin Platform.

From afar, those countless shadows seemed like a river, gradually merging below the high platform.

Those who came to Jinlin Platform included high-ranking officials, noble families, four great monks, and ordinary people.

Additionally, some martial monks from outside Tang were also eager to witness the most exciting moment—the Qianlong Gang’s banquet.

Of course, regardless of how large Jinlin Platform is, it’s impossible to accommodate everyone who wants to watch the competition.

Therefore, many who did not qualify to enter Jinlin Platform occupied high-rise buildings near Jinlin Platform in advance, so as not to miss the exciting competition.

As wave after wave of people slowly entered Jinlin Platform, a group began to appear at the northwest entrance.

"Look at Lingxiao Academy’s team!"

Seeing this line, someone couldn’t help but shout.

Upon hearing this, many people turned their gaze.

The first row of this line featured a white-haired old man, probably in his seventies or eighties.

Though aged, this old man was vibrant and energetic. The blush on his face evidently showed his focus on lifestyle.

His name was Wei Yuanhong, currently the headmaster of Lingxiao Academy, known throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Behind him were four elders from Lingxiao Academy, all very powerful.

These people were students of Lingxiao Academy, key figures on the Lingxiao Monument.

Among the disciples, He Yifan was the most powerful. He once fought against five celestial environment disciples alone, achieving a great victory and ranking first on the Lingxiao Monument.

After He Yifan, there is Ming Yang, the talented son from Mingcheng of the Imperial Palace.

At first, the Murong family forgot gratitude and became arrogant because they relied on the Ming Dynasty’s power.

Despite showing this family’s cold cruelty and determination to work for the tigers.

However, as a talented descendant of the Ming Family, Ming Yang possessed real power.

A year ago, Ming Yang’s cultivation level was far ahead of Song Shusui.

A year later, his physical strength had reached Yin Hong’s level, while Yin Hong was not very strong.

Besides these two, the remaining students of Lingxiao Academy were very competent. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Initially, before fighting in the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School, the school’s talented disciples could overwhelm Lingxiao Academy.

But due to the ruthlessness of the four alliances’ leaders, the four alliances eventually did not have a leadership situation.

Thus, the original contestants were still in first place in the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts Academy—Lingxiao Academy. For a time, they appeared as "Flood Dragons."

Apart from the contestants, the rest were seniors and disciples of Lingxiao Academy.

Among the many disciples, the most notable was Murong Xue, the flower of the three academies of Lingxiao.

After Lingxiao Academy and other teams appeared, the crowd nearby began to talk.

It’s said that Lingxiao Academy is very powerful. Most of them will defeat the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School this time.

It’s said that Murong Xuecun’s appearance is outstanding, able to make people’s hearts tremble.

It’s said that Lingxiao Academy’s competition is.

At this moment, everyone saw the team from Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School begin to slowly walk into Jinlin Platform.

The number of people in Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School this time is not many. It’s the smallest of the four academies.

But even so, the reputation of Tang Dynasty’s first martial arts school still attracted countless cheers.

Just with the cheers, many people also showed surprise.

A long time ago, they’ve heard the names of Tianlong’s Four Heroes: Feng Xuyao, Zi Yunfei, Yan Hong, Li Tianrun.

People privately thought that Tianlong’s Four Heroes would become famous in the first grand battle and become the emerging talents of Tang’s new generation.

However, odd as it seemed, when many spectators saw the team from Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School, they didn’t see the figures of these four individuals.

Because of this, at that moment, those spectators with boiling blood began discussing privately.

"It’s said that Tianlong’s Four Heroes are the most formidable of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School. Why didn’t they appear today?"

"Yes, if there’s no feast from Tianlong’s Four Heroes, I’m afraid it’ll lack flavor."

"I heard that Tianlong’s Four Heroes fell in the Tianlong battle."

"What, they fell? Is it true?"

"I don’t know. I just heard. If Tianlong’s Four Heroes were still present, why didn’t they appear today?"

"Without Tianlong’s Four Heroes, I’m afraid it might be another family’s sacrifice!"

With a sigh, a group of yellow and purple nobles began to flood into the northwest gate of Jinlin Platform.

First, naturally, they were the most prominent figures in the dynasty, the master fathers of the Ming family.

When Ming Xiaotian appeared in people’s sight, many high-ranking officials came to see them.

Although Ming Xiaotian had a smile on his face, he merely nodded to those who came to greet him. He was even too lazy to speak, just walking to the seats on Jinlin Platform.

After Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Black Demon King team, Ning Yaofeng, was promoted to Dragon General Ding.

As the first grand command and the great Dragon General of the Imperial City, Ning Yaofeng almost became the second general of Tang after Ao Yunchen.

Ning Wenfeng’s appearance made many viewers withdraw from the audience immediately after the Qi Dynasty.

Although Ning Wenfeng is no longer a city patrol officer now, he still wears distinctive armor, giving a sense of invincibility.

After Ning Wenfeng, there were twenty generals from the Black Demon King army.
