79: arrival

"So this is... the true foundation of the Red Tiger Sect!"

Over 1,600 Qi Martial Realm Inner Sect Disciples.

Thirteen core direct disciples.

The three Great Elders and the Sect Master were all Blood Martial Realm powerhouses.

It was only then that Xiao Shi truly saw the power of the Red Tiger Sect.

Before, whether in the lower sect or Jin Yun City, it was only a small corner of the Red Tiger Sect that was revealed.

Only here, in the upper sect... was the true core of the Red Tiger Sect!

Although Xiao Shi had now also entered this core.

He was merely at the lowest level within this core.

This also gave him an urgent desire to become stronger.

Such a thought did not only appear in Xiao Shi.

It also arose in the other individuals who had just become Inner Sect Disciples.

In such an atmosphere.

It was easy to ignite the fighting spirit in people's hearts.

Guo Chengdao surveyed the disciples below.

Though his demeanor was refined, and he appeared like a gentle scholar, at this moment, he was extremely authoritative.

His voice was like thunder, and his aura shook the heavens.

"The Seven Stars Holy Land opens once every sixty-six years. Within it are countless opportunities and infinite fortunes. This is a chance that can change your destinies, and it is also an opportunity for our Red Tiger Sect to defy fate and change its destiny!"

"Of course..."

"Inside, there will undoubtedly be a bloody storm!"

Guo Chengdao paused here, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over everyone.

"The path of martial arts becomes narrower the further one walks. Only by stepping on the corpses of countless enemies can one touch... the pinnacle of martial arts!"

"I must remind you..."

"The competition within the Seven Stars Holy Land this time will be unprecedentedly cruel. Anyone could become your enemy."

"Within the Seven Stars Holy Land, even the people from Flying Origin Palace and Seven Stars Sect cannot be trusted! They will also make a move against you for the opportunities and fortunes within."

"I have only one request for you..."

"Fellow disciples, you must not harm each other!"

"This has always been the principle of our Red Tiger Sect, and it remains true even in the Seven Stars Holy Land! If anyone dares to harm a fellow disciple, no matter who he is, I will surely execute him! You must believe that for such actions that violate the sect's principles, even a single instance will not be tolerated!"

As Guo Chengdao spoke, the hearts of many disciples stirred.

They all knew very well.

In such an environment, even fellow disciples killing each other was a normal occurrence.

But this was absolutely forbidden in their Red Tiger Sect.

Of course, this was a good thing for them, immediately dispelling most of the inherent vigilance and caution they held towards each other.

At the same time, it made them realize.

Within the Seven Stars Holy Land, apart from not being able to kill people from their own sect, everyone else... could be killed!

Even people from Flying Origin Palace could be killed!

Outside the Seven Stars Holy Land, they were an affiliated sect of Flying Origin Palace, following its lead, and naturally dared not lay a hand on its people.

But within the Seven Stars Holy Land, they were enemies vying for opportunities and fortunes.

Even if they didn't kill Flying Origin Palace's people, Flying Origin Palace's people would kill them inside!

The same applied to the Seven Stars Sect.

This was also the cruelty within the Seven Stars Holy Land.

And this cruelty was undoubtedly beneficial to Xiao Shi.

He would no longer have too many reservations.

Apart from people from the Red Tiger Sect, everyone else could become his prey!

Initially, Xiao Shi had thought that he could only kill people from hostile forces like the Senluo Organization inside, but now, after the Sect Master's words, he realized that within the Seven Stars Holy Land, external alliances or affiliations would be useless.

In the face of those opportunities and fortunes, anyone could turn against each other.

This also filled Xiao Shi with anticipation.

He believed that this time's harvest... would definitely not be small!

Soon.

Guo Chengdao and the three Elders jointly activated the sect's teleportation array.

Amidst a roar.

All the figures within the array blurred and vanished in an instant... Many years ago, there existed an incredibly vast mountain peak within Seven Stars Province.

This mountain once sought to rival the sky, surpassing all existing mountains in Seven Stars Province. Its immense size was comparable to hundreds of Jin Yun Cities.

However, by now... this mountain had long disappeared.

Even the land where this mountain peak stood was covered by an invisible force.

It was like an inverted bowl, enveloping this vast area completely.

This caused all living beings approaching this place to be blocked outside this layer of invisible force.

Every sixty-six years, these invisible forces would temporarily recede, allowing many martial artists from Seven Stars Province to enter and explore for opportunities and fortunes.

The world called this place the Holy Land!

At this moment, outside this Holy Land, two sects had already arrived, separated by a distance, positioned at opposite ends.

They were... Flying Origin Palace and Seven Stars Sect!

Although the current Seven Stars Sect, like the Red Tiger Sect, had become an affiliated sect of Flying Origin Palace, as the former strongest force in Seven Stars Province, the Seven Stars Sect had always harbored the ambition of returning to its peak.

The Seven Stars Holy Land... was undoubtedly their hope!

It could be said that among the many forces, the Seven Stars Sect was absolutely the one that valued the Seven Stars Holy Land the most.

Regarding the intentions of the Seven Stars Sect.

Flying Origin Palace was also well aware.

"Heh, a bunch of fools dreaming in broad daylight, also wishing to return to their peak?"

An old man from Flying Origin Palace, with a prominent bump on his forehead, looking quite sinister, sneered after glancing at the Seven Stars Sect members in the distance.

"They were replaced by us back then and have always been resentful. Although they became our subordinates, it was only due to circumstances. The opening of the Seven Stars Holy Land this time naturally carries all their hopes, but unfortunately... they will be disappointed again."

Another Elder from Flying Origin Palace spoke eloquently.

They had absolute confidence.

This time, Flying Origin Palace would still have the greatest harvest from the Seven Stars Holy Land; no other force could surpass them in terms of gains.

After all, the reason they were able to soar in the Seven Stars Holy Land back then.

Was not by luck.

But because they held a secret of the Seven Stars Holy Land!

This secret... was enough to ensure they didn't have to worry about other forces entering the Seven Stars Holy Land getting greater rewards than them.

This was also one reason they confidently allowed other forces to enter.

Another reason... was that the scope of the Seven Stars Holy Land was simply too vast.

Even if they wanted to prevent other forces from entering, it would be difficult to do so.

When the Seven Stars Holy Land opened, people could enter from all directions, from all sides; there wasn't just one entrance.

It was simply impossible to prevent others from entering.

Soon.

A strong light descended from the sky, landing directly on an open area in the distance.

The many figures within gradually changed from blurry to clear.

"The Red Tiger Sect has arrived."

Both the people from Flying Origin Palace and Seven Stars Sect looked over simultaneously.
