33: The Lingfa Sect arrives, and the disciples begin their battle.

Xuanji Sect's Sect Square.

Su Yun emerged from the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl and rushed here after receiving the Sect's mobilization signal.

At this moment, many Sect Disciples had already gathered on the square.

Su Yun discovered that not only were all the Outer Sect Disciples present,

But many Inner Sect Disciples had also arrived.

Speaking of Inner Sect Disciples, Su Yun was reminded of An Yuyao, his Inner Sect Senior Sister.

However, she was still at home and would only return to the Sect in a few days.

At that moment, several streaks of spiritual light flew out from the back mountain of Xuanji Sect and landed at the Sect entrance.

Leading them was Gu Linyuan, the Sect Master of Xuanji Sect.

He wore a light blue Daoist robe and appeared to be an elegant middle-aged man.

Behind him followed five Elders with sage-like appearances.

Seeing the Sect Master and Elders appear,

The Disciples in the Sect Square began to whisper among themselves.

“Hey, what do you think happened?”

“Could there be an invasion by foreign enemies?!”

“Impossible, our Sect is an Affiliated Sect of the Taixuan Holy Land.”

“Who would be so foolish as to attack our Sect?”

“Stop guessing blindly, it's the Lingfa Sect coming to challenge us!”

“Lingfa Sect? Haven't they sent Disciples to challenge us several times already?”

“Yeah, our Xuanji Sect has lost several times; they're here to humiliate us again!”

Su Yun listened for a while before understanding the reason for the commotion.

It turned out that Xuanji Sect had a rival named Lingfa Sect.

This Lingfa Sect was also an Affiliated Sect of the Taixuan Holy Land.

Because the Sect Master of Lingfa Sect and the Sect Master of Xuanji Sect had a past grudge,

Lingfa Sect frequently sent its Disciples to challenge them.

Xuanji Sect had never won because the combat strength of its younger generation was too poor.

As for why Taixuan Holy Land didn't intervene?

It was to keep the Affiliated Sects competitive.

Thus, they tacitly allowed this behavior.

A roar echoed from the distance.

What is this?

Su Yun turned his head to look into the distance.

He saw a massive spirit boat flying in from afar.

This spirit boat was covered in dense Formations.

From afar, it looked incredibly majestic.

Under the sunlight, the torrent of spiritual energy driving the spirit boat emitted a colorful glow.

The spirit boat soon landed at the entrance of Xuanji Sect.

The dust on the ground was washed away by the spiritual power enveloping the spirit boat.

Several streaks of light flew out from the spirit boat, followed closely by twenty Cultivators.

Leading them was a burly middle-aged man.

He wore a gray Daoist robe, and a powerful Aura radiated from his body.

The Xuanji Sect Disciples present suddenly felt as if a great mountain were pressing down on them.

“Xu Jianshan, bullying juniors as soon as you arrive—it seems you have no respect for me!”

Gu Linyuan suddenly appeared in the air.

With a wave of his hand,

Everyone instantly felt the previous pressure vanish without a trace.

“Hmph, Gu Linyuan, after all this time, your cultivation is still about the same as before.”

“I'm just helping you train your juniors; you should thank me.”

Xu Jianshan spoke casually after flying onto the Xuanji Sect square.

Gu Linyuan's expression turned ugly.

This Xu Jianshan had some past grudges with him.

After becoming Sect Master, he had brought Disciples to find trouble several times.

Unfortunately, Xuanji Sect did not have any particularly outstanding Disciples.

Every time, they were severely humiliated by Lingfa Sect.

“What has your Lingfa Sect come here for again?”

“Nothing much, just to challenge your Xuanji Sect Disciples.”

“Surely you wouldn't be afraid, Sect Master Gu?”

“If you want a challenge, you'll get one. Our Xuanji Sect Disciples won't be defeated so easily.”

Gu Linyuan snorted coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart as he agreed.

“Very well, I've brought ten Inner Sect Disciples and ten Outer Sect Disciples.”

“They are the elites of our Sect.”

“As long as your Disciples can win half of the individual duels, we'll consider it our loss!”

“How's that? Simple enough, right!”

Xu Jianshan's eyes were filled with contempt.

He couldn't settle the grudge with Gu Linyuan personally,

But he could bring his Sect's Disciples to humiliate Xuanji Sect's Disciples.

In doing so, he would slap Gu Linyuan's face.

He was full of confidence this time, even though he brought so few people.

Because they had won the challenge several times before, and the Disciples he brought this time had even higher talent and strength, they would surely win again.

He truly looked forward to seeing Gu Linyuan's expression when his Disciples were defeated one after another.

“Good, very good.”

Gu Linyuan flew above the Xuanji Sect square and said loudly:

“Disciples of Xuanji Sect, you heard that, didn't you!”

“Lingfa Sect comes to challenge us and speaks such arrogant words.”

“Are you willing to accept this?”

The Xuanji Sect Disciples had also heard the entire conversation between Sect Master Gu Linyuan and Lingfa Sect Master Xu Jianshan.

A fire had long been brewing in their hearts.

Especially the older Disciples.

These Disciples had experienced the incident five years ago when Lingfa Sect came to challenge them.

They were already beyond furious. Although they had suffered a crushing defeat before, they had cultivated hard for five years.

This time, they would surely succeed in defeating the Lingfa Sect Disciples.

“We're not willing!”

“To be so arrogant on Xuanji Sect's territory!”

“That's right, watch how I beat them to the ground and make them beg for mercy!”

Hearing the high morale of the Sect Disciples, Gu Linyuan nodded with satisfaction.

“Very well. For this challenge, if an Outer Sect Disciple can defeat one person, they can be promoted to the Inner Sect.”

“If you defeat multiple people, you will be rewarded with Cultivation Techniques from the Scripture Pavilion—one book for every person you defeat.”

“The same goes for Inner Sect Disciples. Defeat a person, get a technique, and also a Spiritual Artifact from the Spirit Treasure Vault.”

“The Disciple who wins the most in this challenge will have a supreme grade spirit tool forged for them personally by someone I find!”

As soon as Gu Linyuan finished speaking,

The Xuanji Sect Disciples present gasped.

That was a supreme grade spirit tool.

In the world of Cultivators, a supreme grade spirit tool was considered a very precious Magic Treasure.

Because Spiritual Artifacts are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, Supreme Grade, and Transcendental Grade.

Above that are Pseudo-Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts.

It was said that the weapon the Sect Master currently used was still a supreme grade spirit tool.

The Sect Master was likely going to pay a heavy price this time.

Su Yun was also somewhat surprised by the discussions around him.

He hadn't expected a supreme grade spirit tool to be so precious.

After all, any random ruin would have two of them.

But on second thought, it made sense; could a weapon that serves as an Opportunity for a protagonist be common goods?

With another Sect coming to challenge them, he felt a sense of a familiar trope.

Wasn't this just an Opportunity for Zhang Tian to show off?

Right now, Zhang Tian had no reputation in the Sect.

His only fame was being An Yuyao's Trash fiancé.

Now that another Sect had come to challenge them,

He would amaze everyone by not only dealing with ten Lingfa Sect Outer Sect Disciples,

But also defeating ten Lingfa Sect Inner Sect Disciples in a difficult battle.

Everyone would be shocked after this battle.

He would be able to wash away the Trash image in everyone's minds.

But the problem now was, could Zhang Tian really show off?

Su Yun recalled that he seemed to have plundered several of Zhang Tian's Heaven-Defying Opportunities.

Opening Zhang Tian's life script, his Realm was only at Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

Meanwhile, the Lingfa Sect Outer Sect Disciples were all at Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer, and one of them even had a special Physique.

Although Zhang Tian had cultivated from Foundation Establishment Layer One to the current Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer in a short time,

The difference in Realm was still quite large.

He had a feeling that Zhang Tian might fail miserably against them?
