"Yes, Lianyue is a disciple who recently joined our Immortal Bow Hall..."

Facing the inquiry from Wuheng Immortal Emperor, Yunxiao Immortal Emperor responded indifferently.

Wuheng Immortal Emperor’s gaze did not leave Lianyue Fairy, nodding and saying, "This Lianyue Fairy, less than a century old, is already in the fifth grade Immortal King Realm, and has an Innate Golden Spirit Root. Her immortal path is boundless!"

The more he praised Lianyue Fairy, the more cautious and vigilant Yunxiao Immortal Emperor and Fairy Minyue became.

Thinking that although Wuying Sect had never targeted the prodigies of Western Desolate Immortal Sect before, Lianyue Fairy’s talent was indeed exceptional, there was a possibility that Wuheng Immortal Emperor might be tempted. If he truly wanted to recruit Lianyue Fairy, it would indeed be troublesome.

Fairy Minyue was not afraid of Wuying Sect using soft tactics because she knew Lianyue Fairy well; this girl was gentle yet firm, loyal and righteous, and would never change allegiance.

What she feared was Wuying Sect might use their powerful strength to forcibly take by might, as Immortal Bow Hall’s current power would struggle to protect her.

"Oh... this Lianyue Female Immortal is impressive... very impressive..."

Wuheng Immortal Emperor said nothing further, after giving Lianyue Fairy a deep look, he turned and left.

Watching the departing back of Wuheng Immortal Emperor, Yunxiao Immortal Emperor and Fairy Minyue exchanged glances, seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.

"In my opinion, it’s better for you to take Lianyue and leave early, return to Immortal Bow Hall. It wouldn’t matter if she doesn’t participate in this disciple tournament of the ten immortal sects."

Yunxiao Immortal Emperor transmitted voice to Fairy Minyue.

Fairy Minyue thought for a moment, shook her head, and said: "If Wuying Sect harbors ill intentions toward Lianyue, taking her back won’t be useful! I refuse to believe that he, Wuheng Immortal Emperor, would dare to forcibly take Lianyue in front of everyone. How would the other immortal sects in Western Desolate think then? Wuying Sect can rob disciples from our Immortal Bow Hall today, tomorrow they might rob disciples from other immortal sects, as they understand the principle of ’lips gone, teeth cold’. By then, the other nine immortal sects would unite to resist, and Wuying Sect would gain nothing!"

Yunxiao Immortal Emperor smiled bitterly: "Fearful that the other eight immortal sects might not stand with us, sweep our own doorsteps, and turn against Wuying Sect!"

Fairy Minyue calmly considered, feeling that this was indeed possible, turning her head to glance at Lianyue Fairy behind her, transmitting voice: "Lianyue, would you like to return to Immortal Bow Hall with your master?"

"Ah?"

Lianyue Fairy was startled, asking: "Now?"

Seeing Fairy Minyue nod, Lianyue Fairy asked puzzledly: "Why?"

Fairy Minyue replied: "It’s hard to explain in a moment... Follow your master back, once we’re at Immortal Bow Hall, your master will tell you the reason!"

Lianyue Fairy, full of curiosity and hope, came to participate in the disciple tournament of the ten immortal sects. To return just after arriving naturally disappointed her.

However, knowing that there was a reason, she did not go against her master’s wishes, saying "Oh" and then standing up with her master.

"Where is Fairy Minyue planning to go?"

Seeing Fairy Minyue and Lianyue Fairy about to fly away, Wuheng Immortal Emperor from Wuying Sect looked over and asked with a smile.

Fairy Minyue’s figure paused, her face stiffly smiled and replied: "We have some matters, need to return to Immortal Bow Hall..."

"Heh... Just right, I’ve always wanted to visit Your Hall’s Zigong Immortal Emperor, I’ll accompany you!"

Another elder from Wuying Sect, Traceless Immortal Emperor, stood up and said.

"This..."

Fairy Minyue quickly exchanged glances with Yunxiao Immortal Emperor, then pulled Lianyue Fairy to sit back down on the Immortal Platform, saying: "Anyway, it’s not that urgent, we’ll leave after this disciple tournament of the immortal sects finishes."

"Alright then."

Traceless Immortal Emperor chuckled and sat down again.

Traceless Immortal Emperor and Wuheng Immortal Emperor, both brothers of equal strength, Fairy Minyue knew she was not their match, worried that accompanying them might lead to Lianyue being forcibly taken mid-journey.

Thus, after exchanging glances with Yunxiao Immortal Emperor, she decided to stay put and wait to see how events unfolded.

No matter how domineering Wuying Sect was, they wouldn’t dare rob by force in this gathering of immortals.

Lianyue Fairy felt happy that she could stay and continue participating in the disciple tournament of the ten immortal sects, yet she didn’t express it.

"Dear immortal friends, all sects are present, shall we begin?"

Several hours later, Wuheng Immortal Emperor stood on the Immortal Platform, scanning around, loudly asking.

The elders of various immortal sects, having participated multiple times in the disciple tournament of the ten immortal sects, upon hearing, all agreed: "We can start."

Thus, the ten immortal sects left the Immortal Platform, leaving its space open.

"Those wishing to challenge the ten immortal sects may mount the platform!"

Wuheng Immortal Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes, scanning dozens of disciples from various immortal sects outside of the ten immortal sects, solemnly said.

"Blood Blade Sect, challenges Cloud Sky Sect!"

As Wuheng Immortal Emperor finished his statement, five disciples from Blood Blade Sect impatiently flew onto the Immortal Platform.

According to the rules, both the challenging and challenged sects must each send five young disciples; the side with three victories wins the battle.

Cloud Sky Sect, the weakest among the ten immortal sects, nearly got ousted by Blood Blade Sect sixty years ago, didn’t expect the challenge again after an era.

The two leading elders of Cloud Sky Sect showed obvious disdain on their faces, yet internally they were very anxious.

If defeated, many interests they hold in Western Desolate would become Blood Blade Sect’s, and it would take another sixty years before they could hope to reclaim them.

Currently, Blood Blade Sect is rising while Cloud Sky Sect is declining; without adequate Cultivation Resources, they might become weaker sixty years later, possibly relegating to a second-rate immortal sect.

Therefore, this battle is crucial for Cloud Sky Sect, losing means losing the future.

"You five, go up and fight! Remember, give it your all in this battle!"

The two Cloud Sky Sect Immortal Emperors selected five strongest disciples from the thirty young disciples brought, sternly reminding.

"Disciple understands!"

The five Cloud Sky Sect disciples, aware of their heavy responsibilities, feared losing and not knowing what awaited upon return, nervously felt.

But at this moment, they could only brace themselves.

Five figures flew onto the Immortal Platform, gazing distantly at the Blood Blade Sect’s five disciples, both sides filled with fighting spirit and fierce Killing Qi, unwilling to lose the aura to the opponent.

This Immortal Platform, modeled after War Immortal Platforms within some Immortal Cities, was large enough and divided into five regions, each with an Isolation Formation, allowing ten disciples from both sides to duel simultaneously, saving much time.

Blood Blade Sect and Cloud Sky Sect disciples wasted no words after ascending, choosing opponents and starting their battles.

Blocked by Isolation Formation, immortals around the Immortal Platform couldn’t see the fighting scenes, only by defeating one side would the Isolation Formation vanish, the result then known.
