628: Life and death are irrelevant, do you agree?

Ji Wuchang originally thought that the Sky Phoenix Tower was an industry of the Fire Phoenix Sect, but now it seems he was mistaken.

If it were truly an industry of the Fire Phoenix Sect, it would definitely merge directly with the Fire Phoenix Sect.

"Fellow Daoist An, long time no see!"

The moment their Flying Boat stabilized, a massive Face appeared in the adjacent Flying Boat, almost covering the entire vessel.

This was the Face of a man around fifty years old, handsome and possessing an imposing aura that commanded respect even without anger.

Seeing this Face, Ji Wuchang and the others instantly tensed up, feeling as if a huge mountain had suddenly settled upon them.

"Fellow Daoist Dou, please don't frighten my juniors!"

An Fanmei spoke slowly, and as her words fell, the pressure on everyone instantly melted away like ice and snow.

Ji Wuchang's expression turned solemn; he hadn't expected to encounter a supreme realm expert immediately upon arrival.

Because he possessed a Puppet at the first level of the supreme realm, he could tell at a glance that this man was also likely at the first level of the supreme realm!

Many people on the Flying Boat gasped deeply, looking at the large Face with awe in their eyes.

The supreme realm, that was a Realm countless people dreamed of reaching.

However, out of one hundred people at the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, at most one could achieve a Breakthrough to the supreme realm.

Moreover, most supreme realm experts exhausted all their potential after breaking through to the first level and would never achieve another Breakthrough in their lifetime.

The massive Face slowly dissipated and then vanished without a trace.

"Fellow Daoist An, this spot isn't easy to claim. The Old Ape Head of White Ape Province asked me to reserve it for him!"

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist An insists on taking this spot, then we must proceed according to the old rules!"

Just then, a fifty-year-old man appeared from the adjacent Flying Boat—the true form of the large Face from before.

This man was named Tan Tianyang, hailing from the Ancient Dao Sect of Canghai Province. He was the Old Ancestor of the Ancient Dao Sect, possessing a cultivation base at the first level of the supreme realm.

The Old Ape Head of White Ape Province he mentioned referred to Yuan Jinan, the Old Ancestor of the Yuan Family in White Ape Province, who also had a cultivation base at the first level of the supreme realm.

As for the old rules, it meant settling things with fists: selecting the two weakest members from the groups to compete; the winner would stay, and the loser would withdraw.

The reason for selecting the weakest was that the strongest members needed to be preserved to fight and bring glory to their Sect within the Secret Realm.

What they were currently contesting was merely a matter of outward Face, something insignificant to them.

"Then let's wait until the Old Ape Head arrives before deciding. If there is to be a contest, it should be between my people and the Old Ape Head's people!"

An Fanmei replied with a composed expression.

Although Tan Tianyang felt a slight surge of anger internally, he said nothing more, as what she said was reasonable.

He was quite wary of the Sky Phoenix Tower.

The Sky Phoenix Tower was not something one single person like An Fanmei could support. If it were only her, a first-level supreme realm expert, the Fire Phoenix Sect would have already made a move.

However, the identity of the mysterious Old Proprietor of the Sky Phoenix Tower had always been a mystery that Tan Tianyang and others could not uncover.

"Then we shall proceed as Fellow Daoist An suggests. The Old Ape Head should be arriving soon!"

Tan Tianyang spoke slowly, his tone calm, yet implicitly carrying a trace of smugness!

The Ancient Dao Sect and the Yuan Family had always been on good terms, so Tan Tianyang naturally spoke up for Yuan Jinan.

As soon as his voice fell, a Flying Boat flew in from a distance, and a massive character 'Yuan' already declared its identity!

The people from the Yuan Family of White Ape Province had arrived!

"You, Tan Tianyang! I asked you to reserve a spot for this old man, and you can't even handle such a small matter!"

At that moment, a voice echoed from the sky, loud as a bronze bell!

"Old Ape Head, I couldn't help it! They arrived first! Who told you to be so late!"

"If you have the ability, go snatch it back yourself! Don't blame me here!"

Tan Tianyang replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, that Flying Boat docked nearby.

A sturdy figure stepped out of the Flying Boat, enveloped by a terrifying Qi, revealing himself to be yet another first-level supreme realm expert.

This person appeared to be only in his thirties, with muscles bulging across his body.

"Fellow Daoist An, since you have occupied my spot, let's proceed according to the old rules!"

Yuan Jinan looked at An Fanmei standing on the Flying Boat and spoke calmly.

On the Flying Boat where Ji Wuchang was, everyone heard Yuan Jinan's words. Chi Qianzhu frowned slightly, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

The other nine people looked at Ji Wuchang mockingly; since his cultivation base was the lowest here, he would naturally fight the first battle.

An Fanmei looked at Yuan Jinan with a placid expression, then said faintly, "Naturally. I will make the arrangements on my side!"

After speaking, she looked expressionlessly at Ji Wuchang and commanded, "Ji Wuchang, go fight! You must win, not lose!"

Ji Wuchang glanced indifferently at An Fanmei, then nodded calmly.

This woman seems hostile towards me; I wonder why!

Without hesitation, he soared into the air, appearing directly in the sky!

The events happening here naturally attracted the attention of countless people nearby, with numerous gazes fixed in this direction.

Many people on the Flying Boats stood up and looked over.

Upon seeing that Ji Wuchang was only at the third level of the Dao Severing Realm, mocking voices immediately erupted from all sides.

"What is the Sky Phoenix Tower doing? Can't they find anyone? They actually recruited someone only at the third level of the Dao Severing Realm!"

"Now we'll have a good show! I heard the Yuan Family went all out this time; even their weakest members are at the seventh level of the dao severing realm!"

"If they lose this, the Sky Phoenix Tower probably won't even have the Face to stand in the front row anymore!"

"Sigh, the Secret Realm hasn't even opened, and he's already going to be killed here, serving as a sacrifice!"

Discussions erupted all around, with many people not even bothering to hide their opinions.

An Fanmei remained expressionless; if Ji Wuchang were killed here, she would actually feel relieved.

Chi Qianzhu looked at Ji Wuchang in the sky, a trace of worry in her eyes.

However, recalling the scene where Ji Wuchang executed a flash sale on that seventh-level Dao Severing Realm Black Tiger Army member from the Changhe Sect, she slightly relaxed.

Just then, a sturdy figure emerged from the Yuan Family's Flying Boat, radiating the pressure of the seventh level of the dao severing realm.

In his hand, he held a massive iron rod, clearly indicating immense physical strength.

Against such an opponent, a direct confrontation would be comparable to fighting someone at the eighth level of the Dao Severing Realm!

As this person appeared, the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively!

The sturdy man looked at Ji Wuchang, his eyes filled with deep disdain.

He stared fiercely at Ji Wuchang; though he didn't speak, his meaning was clear: I'm going to smash you to death with one blow later!

"Fellow Daoist An, life and death are not discussed. Do you have any objections?"

Yuan Jinan spoke slowly, his gaze indifferent.

An Fanmei did not speak, but she slowly nodded, agreeing to Yuan Jinan's proposal!
