Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 2559: Lianyue Is Being Targeted
The Immortal Bow Hall disciples closed their eyes to adjust their breathing, entering a cultivation state, turning a deaf ear to the various filthy words from the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain disciples.
After a while, the disciples of Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain found it dull, so they grudgingly fell silent.
In the next two days, disciples from the other seven Immortal Sects arrived one after another.
By this time, the ten Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate had gathered on the Immortal Platform.
"Senior Sister Biyu, when does the grand tournament among the disciples of the ten Immortal Sects begin?"
Seeing all the disciples of the ten Immortal Sects have gathered, yet the immortals remain unmoved as if waiting for something, Lianyue Fairy felt curious and couldn’t help but ask softly.
Jade Fairy knew that this junior sister was participating in the grand tournament of the ten Immortal Sects for the first time, so she explained: "Every grand tournament of the ten Immortal Sects not only involves the ten Immortal Sects but also some other powerful sects of the Western Desolate. Those sects have the strength to challenge the ten Immortal Sects..."
Lianyue Fairy seemed to realize something upon hearing this.
Jade Fairy continued: "Before each tournament begins, there will be some sects that challenge the ten Immortal Sects. If they can defeat their opponents, they can replace them and join the ranks of the ten Immortal Sects... And the sect that loses its position among the ten Immortal Sects will not be able to participate in the upcoming Sword Gorge training..."
Lianyue Fairy nodded and said: "Understood... So the ten Immortal Sects must protect their top ten rankings, otherwise numerous benefits will be lost for the next sixty years."
Jade Fairy said: "Indeed! However, the top five ranks of the ten Immortal Sects needn’t worry much. It’s the latter few, including our Immortal Bow Hall, that face considerable pressure."
Lianyue Fairy stuck out her tongue and said: "I initially thought that upon arriving, I could participate directly in the Sword Gorge training. I didn’t expect such a thing. If... if we are squeezed out of the top ten, wouldn’t we have to pack up and go home?"
Jade Fairy said: "Yes, it’s like that..."
Their conversation fell into the ears of other Immortal Bow Hall disciples, and though every disciple was well aware of these matters, their faces remained serious and grave.
Sixty years ago, in that grand tournament of the ten Immortal Sects, another sect challenged Immortal Bow Hall. Immortal Bow Hall sent five young disciples to fight, narrowly securing a victory, thus holding onto their top ten position.
Sixty years apart, the cultivation levels of the young generation of Immortal Bow Hall disciples have not improved much, and they all felt uncertain about maintaining the top ten this time.
"Elder Minyue, keep your disciples in check! With the battle imminent, do not let them speak recklessly!"
Yunxiao Immortal Emperor coughed lightly, solemnly advising Fairy Minyue.
Yunxiao Immortal Emperor felt that words like "pack up and go home," which diminish one’s prestige, were very unfortunate, potentially undermining one’s confidence and morale, and thus best left unsaid.
Lianyue Fairy and Jade Fairy, both from under the tutelage of Fairy Minyue, Yunxiao Immortal Emperor couldn’t directly rebuke them, so he asked Fairy Minyue for control.
"Lianyue, Biyu, conserve your energy."
Fairy Minyue didn’t blame these two disciples, only gently advised them.
Lianyue Fairy and Jade Fairy realizing they had spoken out of turn, their faces slightly pale, glanced at each other, and dared not speak further.
In just a few days, dozens more sects arrived, thousands of sect disciples gathered around the Immortal Platform.
The strength of these dozens of sects collectively ranked among the top in the Western Desolate, each sect arriving with ambition and resolve, hoping to topple one of the ten Immortal Sects and replace it.
As sects from all sides arrived, the area around the Immortal Platform became lively.
Among the ten Immortal Sects, the disciples of those with better relations exchanged greetings upon meeting.
Whereas disciples from sects with poorer relations gave each other cold stares or even ridiculed each other upon seeing each other.
"Yunxiao Immortal Emperor, is this Female Immortal a new disciple of your Immortal Bow Hall?"
An Elder from Wuying Sect walked over and exchanged greetings with Yunxiao Immortal Emperor, then his gaze fell on Lianyue Fairy, carrying undisguised admiration.
The Wuying Sect ranks first among the ten Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate, with overall strength far exceeding the other nine, being an entity no other force or immortal in the Western Desolate would dare provoke.
Speaking to Yunxiao Immortal Emperor was Wuying Sect’s Immortal Emperor, honored with the title Wuheng Immortal Emperor, whose cultivation level matched that of Yunxiao Immortal Emperor, but whose combat strength surpassed him, making him the most formidable among all experts present in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Within the ten Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate, Wuying Sect is known to keep apart from conflicts, having neutral relations with the other nine sects, remaining uninvolved in disputes among them.
Because of this, the other nine Immortal Sects hold the Wuying Sect in high regard.
Wuheng Immortal Emperor’s proactive inquiry to Yunxiao regarding Lianyue Fairy surprised Yunxiao Immortal Emperor, who equally felt a sense of alarm.
Lianyue Fairy was the youngest among the disciples of Immortal Bow Hall, yet her talent was extraordinary, leading all high-level members of Immortal Bow Hall to believe that her future path on the Immortal Dao was boundless.
In the ten Immortal Sects of the Western Desolate, Wuying Sect had the most favored sons and daughters, thus nearly all sects in the Western Desolate believed that Wuying Sect could maintain its top position indefinitely.
However, nearly all sects in the Western Desolate knew Wuying Sect high-level members had a "hobby" of recruiting favored sons and daughters.
Reportedly, since the creation of Wuying Sect, its high-level members frequently ventured out, employing various soft or hard methods to recruit the top disciples from other sects to join their sect, strengthening themselves.
Fortunately, Wuying Sect "does not eat the grassroots around its own nest," never targeting sects in the Western Desolate, otherwise many local sects would have borne a grudge.
Sects outside the Western Desolate whose outstanding disciples were "led away" by Wuying Sect, despite fearing its power, dared not express anger, choosing instead to guard against Wuying Sect like a thief.
Because of this, when Wuheng Immortal Emperor inquired about Lianyue Fairy, not only did Yunxiao Immortal Emperor grow alert, even Fairy Minyue became tense.
Lianyue Fairy noticed Wuheng Immortal Emperor’s gaze on her, puzzled, she blinked at him.
"Lianyue, it seems that Immortal Emperor from Wuying Sect has taken an interest in you! Whatever you do, do not pay heed to him!"
Jade Fairy transmitted her voice.
"Why is that?"
Lianyue Fairy asked curiously.
Having entered the sect relatively late, her understanding of Wuying Sect remained limited to its position at the head of the ten Immortal Sects in the Western Desolate.
Jade Fairy continued transmitting: "Master said Wuying Sect’s upper echelons prefer recruiting immortals with Innate Spiritual Roots like you into their sect..."
Lianyue Fairy said: "I have already joined Immortal Bow Hall, how could I join Wuying Sect? If they try to recruit me, I’ll simply ignore them!"
Jade Fairy said: "However, they have many tactics... Hmm, regardless of what they say, be sure not to fall for it!"
