...
Going to Shangri-La is obviously not that easy...
Qin Fang took Ye Xuan; first a flight, then a car, turning left and right, spending several days just to arrive at this relatively remote location...the legendary earthly paradise, Shangri-La.
In the past, Shangri-La might have been quite lively—though not crowded with tourists, it was still decent.
But now, it seems a bit deserted.
Due to the Five Sect Grand Competition, Shangri-La is in a closed state, with all entry and exit paths sealed off, and very few people are coming in… even the tourists who stayed in Shangri-La have been sent away.
Now, the entire Shangri-La, apart from the local natives, only has the people from the Five Great Sects and their invited guests for the ceremony…
Shangri-La here is already considered the Tibetan area, within the sphere of influence of the Esoteric Sect. Don't be fooled by these lamas being monks; the influence of the Esoteric Sect in the Tibetan area is beyond imagination… With just one order, the area can be completely cleared.
Even Qin Fang and his group ca in after notifying Jian Qingfeng in advance and having a contact, otherwise, they might have been listed as dangerous persons by the Five Great Sects, potentially facing a joint attack.
The Five Great Sects are not ordinary small sects; even the younger disciples are generally at Grandmaster Level cultivation, and the more talented ones have reached Great Grandmaster Level. As for the older generation, needless to say, they are at least at Great Grandmaster Level cultivation.
Those old predecessors with relatively poor cultivation talent have long been relegated to auxiliary positions, unlikely to truly enter the sect's core…
To ensure the fairness and security of the Five Sect Grand Competition, there will definitely be Supre Realm powerhouses stationed by the Five Great Sects. Whether each sect sends one or if the Five Great Sects collectively send a few, remains unknown.
At least before Qin Fang officially joins the Kunlun Sect, such relatively secretive things are surely beyond his knowledge…
"We've reached the place; you go find your brother at Tianwai Tower yourself…"
Throughout the journey, Qin Fang's attitude towards Ye Xuan was just average, neither good nor bad, always maintaining a certain distance. Ye Xuan seed inwardly ashad, attempting several tis to get closer but ultimately not daring to.
Now, having finally reached the destination, Qin Fang unceremoniously showed her the door.
"I… thank you…"
Aware of Qin Fang's manner, Ye Xuan opened her mouth as if wanting to say sothing but ended up saying nothing, just thanked him and imdiately went to find her big brother Ye Xiang.
"Junior Martial Brother Qin, who's she?"
The inford Jian Qingfeng ca to et Qin Fang, looking curiously at Ye Xuan, seemingly puzzled why Qin Fang brought her to the place only to send her away.
"She's here to find her brother… Ye Xiang from Tianwai Tower!"
Qin Fang casually replied.
"Ye Xiang?"
Jian Qingfeng paused, seemingly caught off guard, then looked at Qin Fang with an extraordinarily strange expression, making Qin Fang feel odd too, not knowing what Jian had in mind… even seeming to have so concern.
"Senior Brother Jian, don't overthink it. I just t her by chance, if it weren't…"
Qin Fang seed to have guessed Jian Qingfeng's concerns and briefly explained the relationship between him and Ye Xuan, even dropping a surprising revelation.
"What?"
When Jian Qingfeng heard that Qin Fang accidentally encountered people from the Yin Yang Devil Sect, he beca sowhat excited…
The Yin Yang Devil Sect, such an evil sect, is viewed by the Righteous Alliance as even more abhorrent than the Demon Sect. Though referred to as demons, truly evil beings within the Demon Sect are not nurous; the harm they cause is not comparable to that of the evil sect.
If it weren't for the opposing stances and conflicts of interest, the Righteous Alliance could coexist with the Demon Sect, but they are eternally opposed to the evil sect…
The Yin Yang Devil Sect had almost disappeared dostically, yet now reappeared; Jian Qingfeng, as a disciple of Kunlun, the leading sect in the Righteous Alliance, had a strong reaction, quite naturally.
"That's not all. I also got an even more hidden piece of information… and it's sowhat related to the Five Sect Grand Competition!"
Qin Fang remained calm, smilingly added.
"What…"
This ti, Jian Qingfeng was even more excited, nearly grabbing Qin Fang's arm, eagerly asking, "What's the information?"
"This isn't the place to talk..."
Qin Fang didn't speak directly, instead glancing around at the surroundings. It seed quite a few people were already noticing the two of them, indicating that it was clearly not the right place to talk.
Moreover...
Qin Fang currently had no real connection with the Five Great Sects. Whether to share such important information or not was entirely up to him. If this attempt to beco an apprentice and participate in the great competition of the five sects didn't go smoothly, Qin Fang could very well choose to say nothing at all.
"Yes, definitely... this is indeed not the place to talk! Let's go to our camp..."
Jian Qingfeng wasn't foolish and imdiately caught on. Although he might not have grasped the implicit aning behind Qin Fang's words, this place was certainly unsuitable for such discussions. He promptly led Qin Fang toward the camp of the Kunlun Sect.
Shangri-La was relatively remote. Although the natives here weren't entirely primitive, the conditions weren't excellent...
However, most of the people from the Five Great Sects cultivated within their own sects. Those environnts were by no ans as bustling as big cities and might even be quite underdeveloped. Naturally, they were fairly accustod to such surroundings.
Qin Fang didn't mind and proceeded toward the Kunlun Sect's camp.
Shangri-La was vast, but the townspeople resided in a rather small area. Besides the local natives, only mbers of the Five Great Sects were present... To prevent conflicts among the Five Great Sects before the great competition, each sect essentially occupied its own territory.
After taking several turns, Jian Qingfeng and Qin Fang arrived in front of a large expanse of campgrounds.
In preparation for this major competition of the five sects, Shangri-La had constructed slightly larger buildings to accommodate the mbers of the Five Great Sects more comfortably... After all, the competition wasn't going to end in just a day or two, and they also had to enter the small Mystic Realm for cultivation. This would take so additional days, aning they might have to stay here for ten days or so.
Though the duration might not be overly long, housing so many people requires adequate preparations.
After leading Qin Fang into the Kunlun Sect's camp, Jian Qingfeng arranged for Qin Fang to be in the hall, giving him a simple greeting, "Wait here for a bit, have so tea, and I'll go notify them..."
Qin Fang didn't mind and sat there comfortably, tasting the Kunlun Sect's specially brewed tea, which he found quite delightful.
"Are you... Qin Fang?"
However, while Qin Fang was sitting there enjoying his tea, so people passed by the hall and seed to notice Qin Fang's presence, imdiately stopping in their tracks. One of them spoke to Qin Fang.
"Hmm?"
Qin Fang frowned slightly, looking at these individuals with so confusion, unsure of their intentions... However, from the tone of one person, he could sense a hint of hostility.
"Oh, acting quite arrogant, aren't we..."
But Qin Fang's deanor easily aggravated certain individuals.
Rustle, rustle, rustle~~~
Several people's expressions changed suddenly, quickly surrounding Qin Fang. Although they hadn't made any direct moves, the aura from these individuals was fully unleashed, and the hostility beca considerably aggressive.
These people were obviously disciples of the Kunlun Sect, and judging by their age, which was no more than their twenties, they clearly hoped to participate in this major competition of the five sects... However, due to limited spots, Qin Fang's joining the Kunlun Sect and taking up a position was bound to cause dissatisfaction among so.
Qin Fang had anticipated this earlier...
Different identity, different mindset!
These young disciples, being both young and disciples of the Kunlun Sect, naturally carried a certain pride... Although their strength wasn't necessarily exceptional, their confidence was anything but modest. Surely, so believed they could achieve a rank in this competition of the five sects.
However, Jian Qingfeng, being a Kunlun disciple and having participated in a previous competition, understood the formidable nature of the adversaries and the inadequacies of his junior martial brothers... That is why he considered bringing Qin Fang in as an aid!
This was also the mindset of those senior mbers of the Kunlun Sect...
But these young disciples couldn't comprehend the earnest intentions of their elders. Upon learning this news, many had already voiced intentions to teach Qin Fang a lesson. Now that Qin Fang was here, they saw an opportunity.
"What? Want to start a fight?"
Qin Fang only needed a glance to understand their thoughts. His expression remained unchanged, calmly asking.
These young disciples indeed had reasons to be cocky, with the weakest among them possessing Grandmaster-level Initial Stage cultivation, and the strongest reaching Master Level Peak... Although they lacked a bit to reach Great Grandmaster Level, they were already quite formidable.
With such strength, participating in this five-sect competition indeed afforded them so likelihood of victory... Breaking into the top ten might be uncertain, but securing a spot in the top thirty, potentially gaining a spot for training in the small Mystic Realm, was hopeful.
But now, the person looking at Qin Fang with intense resentnt likely felt that Qin Fang had seized his opportunity, hence the intense hostility... It seed as if he wished to skin and dismantle Qin Fang! (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welco to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets at Qidian.
