The Kuo Shan Clan is the largest clan in Qingzhou, and its old ancestor is one of the top talents in Qingzhou. As soon as the news spread that he was looking for disciples, it attracted all the outstanding young talents in Qingzhou.
On the Wu Feng Peak of the Kaoshan Clan, a dense crowd surrounded the entire mountain, not only including the disciples of the Kaoshan Clan but also many who came to have a look. Of course, saying that they came to have a look was not entirely accurate.
The Kaoshan Clan strictly prohibits outsiders from entering, so only those who have qualified for the tournament are allowed in. Apart from the disciples of the Kaoshan Clan, all the others have qualified for the tournament.
But whether it is the host of the Kaoshan Clan or the Zhen Wu Si, which dominates the entire Tianlong Dynasty, have dispatched powerful masters, and compared with them, those small sects or free cultivators are indeed here to watch the fun.
Chen Mo and his party followed behind the seventh elder, Hua An, and hurriedly arrived at the Wu Peak. Glancing at the dense crowd surrounding them, even he couldn't help but be impressed by the influence of the elder ancestor of the Kaoshan Clan.
"Then it will be up to you, Xiao Yousheng, to delay the high-level talents from the Zhen Wu Si for me."
Hua An turned his head and said solemnly.
Chen Mo slightly nodded, "I have agreed to this deal, but please, Elder Seven, do not break your word."
"You can rest assured."
Yesterday, Chen Mo and Hua An made an agreement. He would beat the high-ranking talents from the Zhen Wu Si on behalf of the other party, clear the obstacles for the disciples of the Kaoshan Clan, but with the condition that they must provide him with ten pieces of two-phase or three-phase beast crystal cores.
The beast crystal cores condense all the energy of the beast, containing not only rich natural and cosmic energy but also the purest Qi and blood of the beast. This is what Qi practitioners most need for their advancement.
"Elder Seven, I must make it clear to you that I agreed to help you defeat the high-ranking talents from the Zhen Wu Si, but if I were to encounter disciples from your Kaoshan Clan, I would not let them."
Chen Mo suddenly reminded.
Hua An nodded slightly, "You can rest assured about that. As long as it's not someone from the Zhen Wu Si who is the elder ancestor's personal disciple, I have no objections... Look over there..."
While speaking, Hua An pointed to a group of grey-clad people in the distance. They were all carrying long swords and had stern expressions. From their clothing, Chen Mo could guess their identity - the Sand Sand Sect.
"In order to prevent the Zhen Wu Si's plan, our clan leader made extra preparations and invited disciples from the Sand Sand Sect to participate..."
As Hua An spoke, a quick glance from the corner of his eye caught sight of several elders and the sect master already ascending the stage at the main seat. After throwing out a "be careful," he turned and walked briskly towards the stage.
As Chen Mo's gaze swept over the group of Sand Sand Sect disciples, there were two elders beside them. It looked like they were the elders of the Sand Sand Sect.
However, they were all new faces.
Three hundred years have passed, and the Sand Sand Sect has changed so much that it is no longer the same...
As more people arrived, the elders and the sect master on the main stage of the Kaoshan Clan had all taken their seats.
"Gentlemen, I apologize for my tardiness."
Hua An awkwardly smiled, bowing his hands and saluting the elders and the sect master.
The original Kaoshan Clan's patriarch, who had white hair and beard, looked like an old man with a scholarly demeanor, was no longer the same. Instead, he was a middle-aged man with half-black and half-white hair, with a goatee and a stern face that made people afraid to look at him.
The patriarch of the Kaoshan Clan slightly nodded, dropped a sentence "sit down" and then immediately looked at the people in the Wu Peak, shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, please be quiet".
As the words fell, the entire noisy Wu Peak instantly fell silent. The patriarch of the Kaoshan Clan looked solemn, swept a glance around slightly before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Today is the day when our elder ancestor of the Kaoshan Clan is taking on disciples. It is a celebration for all. You all are here to participate in the tournament. I won't waste time with unnecessary talk; the able ones will take their place above. The elder ancestor said that the one who wins first will become a personal disciple of our elder ancestor of the Kaoshan Clan..."
After a long speech, the crowd listened with great interest. However, the Zhen Wu Si in the distance couldn't help but feel restless.
"Indeed, the Kaoshan Clan has really spared no expense for this."
Two elders from the Zhen Wu Si arrived, both of them were commanding officials and were not only well-known but also among the top talents of the Zhen Wu Si. Behind them were three people, the outstanding young talents brought by the Zhen Wu Si for this event.
"Even if they have put in a lot of effort, it is all meaningless in front of absolute strength."
The youth standing behind the two commanding officials snorted coldly and said.
Commander Liu raised an eyebrow, his expression solemn as he swept a serious glance around, "Don't be too smug. This time, the Kaoshan Clan not only excluded our Zhen Wu Si but also sent their own most talented disciple to compete and gathered the outstanding young talents from the Sand Sand Sect. Although you are at the fifth level, you should also be cautious. Those people are not easy to deal with."
The youth called Zhang Han didn't take him seriously at all, but instead laughed and said, "Commander Liu, you also overestimated them too much. Whether it's the Sand Sand Sect or the Kaoshan Clan, the disciples they can send out are nothing but displaying their talents. Besides Han Shanyue from the Kaoshan Clan, who else can compete with me?"
"That's right, Commander Liu, you need not worry. As long as Brother Zhang can defeat Han Shanyue, the rest who want to engage in a round-robin match or exhaust Brother Zhang can be left to us two."
The two remaining teenagers patted their chests, making solemn promises.
Commander Liu opened and closed his mouth, trying to say something but unsure where to start. Instead, Commander Zhuang glanced around for a moment, and his gaze suddenly hardened.
"Old Liu, look..."
Commander Zhuang pointed to the Chen Mo and his party in the distance and said seriously.
Commander Liu frowned slightly and glanced over there, "I remember they were brought by the Seventh Elder Hua An of the Kaoshan Clan just now. Perhaps it is another group sent by the Kaoshan Clan to deal with our Zhen Wu Si?"
"There's no need to worry about that at all. If they dare to fight, I'll make sure they come and never return."
Zhang Han arrogantly said.
"Not at all"
Commander Zhang's expression sank, and then he touched the space ring on his finger, from which he pulled out a portrait that looked seven out of ten like Chen Mo.
"The High Priestess urgently ordered us last night to pay attention to his whereabouts, and if we find him, kill him without mercy... You see, the person on this painting is he..."
As the words fell, Commander Liu and the others all carefully compared the image with Chen Mo, and their gaze grew colder, "It is him."
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not waste time. Next is the drawing of lots for the martial arts contest. Those whose names are called should come up to compete."
The loud and clear voice of the patriarch of the Kaoshan Clan instantly broke the silence. Then, the seventh elder, Hua An, stood up and walked to a nearby registration area. Everyone who participated in the tournament had to register and then be randomly selected for matches.
In reality, everything was under the control of the Kaoshan Clan. In order to completely defeat the three from Zhen Wu Si, Hua An deliberately arranged someone to deal with them.
First Chen Mo and Zuo Quansheng, followed by the Sand Sand Sect members. With successive high-level experts fighting, they would first exhaust the energy of the three from Zhen Wu Si, and then let the disciples of the Kaoshan Clan reap the benefits...
