The Qingyue Sect’s spirit boat docked on a vast clearing outside Jiaolong City.
If the elders and disciples of the Qingyue Sect entered Jiaolong City together, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Letting the elders and disciples stay outside Jiaolong City should prevent anyone from daring to openly act against the Qingyue Sect.
Each sect is only allowed to recomnd five people to participate in the Lingzhou Tianxuan Festival. Previously, the grandsons of another ancestor of the Qingyue Sect were supposed to participate, but since the ancestor has passed away, the participants are now Ye Chenfeng, Yang Haotian, Chen Yuanxiong, and Li Xinwen.
In the end, a female disciple nad Sun Xiaohan was added, her strength is at the late stage of the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm.
After Xue Wanqing instructed the elders and disciples staying outside not to cause trouble, she, along with Uncle Zhao and Uncle Li, led Ye Chenfeng and the others into Jiaolong City.
Just as they stepped into Jiaolong City, a stern-looking middle-aged man approached them, smiling, "Sect Master Xue, welco, welco! I’ve already arranged accommodations for you."
Xue Wanqing nodded her head, her tone as cold as ever, "Thank you, City Lord Wang."
This middle-aged man was Wang Liyuan, the City Lord of Jiaolong City, whose strength was at the Initial Stage of the second level of the Spirit God Realm.
In the entire Spirit Continent, there are three major sects: the Tong Tian Sword Sect, the Valley of Despair, and the Qingyue Sect.
As a top-tier power in the Spirit Continent, it was only natural for Wang Liyuan, as the City Lord of Jiaolong City, to personally co out and greet them.
Wang Liyuan seed to have t Xue Wanqing before, so he showed no displeasure in his attitude towards her.
The matter of the Jin family in Li Tian City being wiped out hadn’t reached Jiaolong City yet. Otherwise, Wang Liyuan wouldn’t have been so enthusiastic, considering Jiaolong City had been busy preparing for the Tianxuan Festival, paying little attention to external events.
Standing behind Xue Wanqing, Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brows the mont he entered Jiaolong City, as he felt the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader’s mark on his back spontaneously activating, and a massive draconic aura seed to be about to burst forth from within him.
Ye Chenfeng gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader’s mark. If the draconic aura were to emanate from him, it could invite disaster, affecting Xue Wanqing and the others.
After completely suppressing the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader’s mark, Ye Chenfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, he felt a sense of joy inside, for if the mark reacted the mont he entered Jiaolong City, perhaps the legendary flood dragon was indeed suppressed here.
"Benefactor, let’s go," Sun Xiaohan nudged Ye Chenfeng’s arm.
Previously afflicted with the Blood Dry Bone Shatter, Sun Xiaohan was a timid young lady, her appearance unremarkable. She was quite delighted to be the last-minute addition to participate in the Tianxuan Festival.
Prompted by Sun Xiaohan, Ye Chenfeng snapped back to reality, thanked her, and continued walking forward.
Yang Haotian hooked an arm around Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder, saying, "Chenfeng, what’s on your mind? This ti, we must make the Qingyue Sect shine at the Tianxuan Festival."
Yang Haotian continued, "Our Qingyue Sect’s only rivals are the Tong Tian Sword Sect and the Valley of Despair. This ti, three sects will be chosen from the Spirit Continent to participate in the Tianxuan Festival in the Profound Continent. As one of the three major sects, our Qingyue Sect is practically guaranteed to have a place in the Profound Continent’s Tianxuan Festival with our strength."
Ye Chenfeng, absorbed in thoughts about the flood dragon, rely gave Yang Haotian a casual smile.
Soon, Wang Liyuan led Xue Wanqing and the others to a massive estate.
The estate contained hundreds of spacious courtyards, ant to accommodate and allow the sects participating in the Tianxuan Festival to rest and prepare.
After settling Xue Wanqing and the others in one of the quaint courtyards, City Lord Wang Liyuan took his leave, also ntioning that the emissary from the Central Continent overseeing the Spirit Continent’s Tianxuan Festival had already arrived.
After Wang Liyuan left, Ye Chenfeng was eager to sense the position of the flood dragon, and he said to Xue Wanqing, "Wanqing, I’m going outside for so fresh air."
Accustod to Ye Chenfeng’s way of addressing her, Xue Wanqing was about to nod when Ye Chenfeng had already left the courtyard.
Ye Chenfeng made his way to the front of the estate.
Cautiously, he allowed the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader’s mark on his back to slowly activate, trying to avoid any draconic aura from leaking from his body.
Closing his eyes, he began to carefully sense the location of the legendary flood dragon.
anwhile, as Ye Chenfeng and the others were settling into the estate,
the Snow Moon Valley and Black Demon Sect’s spirit boats were arriving one after another outside Jiaolong City.
Being lesser-known sects, neither Snow Moon Valley nor the Black Demon Sect received a personal welco from the City Lord of Jiaolong City, instead being t by a Divinity Transformation Realm elder for arrangents.
When Su Yue, Su Bingyun from Snow Moon Valley, and Demon Emperor Xue Tian from the Black Demon Sect encountered each other, they exchanged cold glances, aware that this was not the place for grudges, thus temporarily suppressing past enmities.
Upon arriving at the estate, the elder from Jiaolong City didn’t personally escort them inside but simply gave them a number, correlating with the numbered courtyards in the estate, allowing them to find their own accommodations.
Frustration lingered in the hearts of the Black Demon Sect and Snow Moon Valley mbers upon the elder’s departure, but they quickly resigned themselves, acknowledging their status as lesser sects.
Leading the Black Demon Sect was a sinister-looking middle-aged man, the Sect Master Ji Jiangliu, while the Demon Emperor Xue Tian and the four Demon Generals trailed behind their fellow sect mbers.
Leading Snow Moon Valley was a graceful woman, Sect Master Lin Anxue, with Zhang Yii, Su Yue, and Su Bingyun closely following her lead.
Standing near the estate’s entrance, Ye Chenfeng had turned slightly, preventing the Black Demon Sect and Snow Moon Valley from seeing his face.
Feeling a presence nearby, Ye Chenfeng quickly suppressed the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader’s mark on his back once more. Despite his previous attempts, he couldn’t pinpoint the flood dragon’s location, seemingly blocked by so force.
Turning casually, he glanced ahead, montarily surprised to see Su Yue, Su Bingyun, and Demon Emperor Xue Tian among the crowd.
Likewise, Su Bingyun and Demon Emperor Xue Tian montarily froze in surprise.
The Demon Emperor Xue Tian imdiately broke into a sinister smile, surprised to encounter Ye Chenfeng here, losing control of his emotions montarily. He marched forward, surpassing the Black Demon Sect’s Sect Master in a rush, and taunted, "Ye Chenfeng, long ti no see! I heard your Phoenix Sect got wiped out. How did you end up here?"
Even as he spoke, the aura within Demon Emperor Xue Tian began to surge, clearly intending to initiate a confrontation.
The four Demon Generals followed closely behind Demon Emperor Xue Tian.
Su Yue remarked, "I knew he would be fine."
Su Bingyun’s gaze remained locked on Ye Chenfeng.
At that mont, Xue Wanqing, along with Yang Haotian and the others, erged from the estate. Noting the tense atmosphere, Xue Wanqing inquired, "Are you causing trouble again?"
Sect Master Lin Anxue of Snow Moon Valley, noticing the change in Su Yue and Su Bingyun, was puzzled. Zhang Yii quickly explained, "Sect Master, he’s from the Earth Profound Realm too, but he was chosen by the Phoenix Sect. Not sure how he showed up here?"
Elder Kong Zhishan of the Black Demon Sect also recalled Ye Chenfeng’s identity and explained the situation to Sect Master Ji Jiangliu.
Though Zhang Yii and Kong Zhishan whispered, Xue Wanqing, Yang Haotian, and the others overheard their conversation.
Xue Wanqing shot Ye Chenfeng a sharp look. Of course, she was aware of the Earth Profound Realm; compared to the Tian Xuan Realm, it was a barbaric land. She hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng to hail from such a place.
Yang Haotian, Chen Yuanxiong, and Li Xinwen were equally stunned, disbelief apparent in their eyes. They never would’ve guessed Ye Chenfeng, with his formidable combat prowess and extraordinary mastery of formations—outshining even Zhao Xingtu, one of the ten great formation masters—could co from the Earth Profound Realm.
With a waft of fragrant air, Xue Wanqing walked past Ye Chenfeng, whispering, "Didn’t you co from the mountains? We’ll settle this later."
Then, Xue Wanqing’s eyes turned to Ji Jiangliu and Lin Anxue, asserting, "He’s a disciple of our Qingyue Sect. What business do you have with him?"
Xue Wanqing exuded a queenly aura, largely dismissing both Snow Moon Valley and the Black Demon Sect.
