448: Four Great Xuanzong

Receiving the order from Xu Hongmi, the people of the Hongyuan Kingdom attacked even more fiercely, and the temporary Alliance felt immense pressure, looking as if they were about to collapse.

It was at this moment that Yun Li made her move.

Using the Consecutive Arrow Technique, she alone restrained more than ten young Martial Venerables from the Hongyuan Kingdom.

With her help, the situation began to change.

Those young Martial Venerables targeted by Yun Li had woes they couldn't express.

Yun Li's feathered arrows were not only fast but also powerful, and they had to resist with all their might to avoid being eliminated.

But this gave the opponents of the temporary Alliance an Opportunity.

Moreover, Yun Li disgusted them.

Approximately every ten feathered arrows, she would use the "Heavenly Pivot Art," attaching "Thunder Roar Blast" to the feathered arrows.

Their strength was inferior to Dark Ink, and anyone hit by the "Thunder Roar Blast" would immediately be sent back to the entrance Plaza.

However, these young Martial Venerables of the Hongyuan Kingdom were also encountering the "Heavenly Pivot Art" for the first time, knew nothing about it, and couldn't distinguish between ordinary feathered arrows and those augmented with a Martial Skill.

They had to use their full strength to block every feathered arrow Yun Li shot.

However, those who could enter the Liuxing Continent were all Prodigies from various places. With such a good Opportunity before them, how could they let it slip by?

In just over a minute, the dozen or so young Martial Venerables "cared for" by Yun Li were all defeated.

The people of the temporary Alliance did not deliver killing blows, only reducing their health bars significantly.

Because, according to the rules announced by Zhong Ruiyi, the Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, competitors could seize points from each other.

They all coveted the spirit tablet points on the young Martial Venerables of the Hongyuan Kingdom.

From this, one could see the brilliance of Zhong Ruiyi: to seize another person's points, one must capture them, not kill them.

In this way, the possibility of competitors killing each other was greatly reduced.

As for those who took the points and then changed their minds and delivered a killing blow, they were not nonexistent.

But everyone participating in the Martial Arts Convention was here for the Opportunity to become a saint, and since they didn't know each other, there was no need to deliver a killing blow.

Such treacherous individuals were, after all, extremely rare.

Yun Li was still exerting force, and the fighting strength of the Hongyuan Kingdom was continuously weakening.

After dealing with the enemies in front of them, the experts of the temporary Alliance would go to help their comrades in other battle zones, allowing this advantage to snowball.

After the Hongyuan Kingdom lost over thirty fighters, Xu Hongmi finally couldn't hold back and shouted loudly, "Hongyuan Kingdom personnel, retreat!"

Receiving Xu Hongmi's order, the remaining experts of the Hongyuan Kingdom all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly grouped up to retreat.

As for Xu Hongmi's safety, they were not overly worried.

After all, she was one of the nine prodigies of the central continent and one of the strongest fighters on the field; she could successfully withdraw without the help of others.

Gritting her teeth, Xu Hongmi said to Lu Xingchen, "Big Strong One, I lost this time! If the mountain doesn't turn, the road turns; if the road doesn't turn, the water meets—the next time we meet, I must determine a victor between us!"

Having said that, she controlled the Golden Stamen Flowing Rosy Clouds Formation to launch another attack, covering the entire battlefield with firepower to cover her subordinates' retreat, then spread her Dou Qi Wings and withdrew into the distance.

Xu Hongmi's full-strength attack required even Lu Xingchen to treat it with caution.

While defending, he lost the Opportunity to pursue Xu Hongmi.

"Don't chase them! Be careful they don't jump over the wall in desperation!" Lu Xingchen shouted.

The people of the temporary Alliance also did not continue the pursuit.

Since they were strangers to each other, there was no need to annihilate them completely.

As the people of the Hongyuan Kingdom scattered and fled, the people of the temporary Alliance all breathed a sigh of relief and fixed their gazes upon Lu Xingchen and Yun Li.

Xiao Han, acting as the spokesperson, walked toward Lu Xingchen and Yun Li under the expectant gazes of the crowd.

"Your Majesty the Pill King truly lives up to being one of the nine prodigies of the central continent, actually being able to match Xu Hongmi. You should know that when I fought her, she didn't even set up a Spirit Formation; she completely disregarded me."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "It was just luck. Fellow Daoist Xiao Han, could you please introduce me to the Opportunities of these Four Great Mystic Sects?"

Xiao Han nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I don't know much information. A hundred years ago, the Four Great Mystic Sects formed an Alliance and engaged in a great war with their hostile force, the Four Great Demonic Sects. Both sides sent out all their elites, spilling blood across half of the Liuxing Continent, and ultimately perished together.

"The piles of white bones we saw along the way might all have been left behind by the battles between these two forces. In fact, I suspect that it was precisely because of the great war between these two forces that the ecological environment of the Liuxing Continent was destroyed, making it unsuitable for habitation, which is why that mysterious big shot decided to Seal the Liuxing Continent and allow this land to recover its vitality."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was inwardly startled.

"Is that so? I'm not interested in understanding the war between the Four Great Mystic Sects and the Four Great Demonic Sects, but since they could destroy the ecological environment of the entire continent, it shows that the Four Great Mystic Sects possessed extremely powerful strength. Their Legacy might be one of the greatest Opportunities on this Liuxing Continent."

Xiao Han nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That is very likely the case. I don't know where the Sect headquarters of the Four Great Mystic Sects are, but this place used to be the martial arts training ground where they recruited new Disciples. Do you see those four high platforms on the plain?"

"Those platforms contain a Teleportation Array, which could transport the newly recruited Disciples back to the headquarters of the Four Great Mystic Sects. This is our Opportunity. But after the long passage of time, the Teleportation Array is severely damaged and can only support one person traveling at most. That is why we ended up fighting the people of the Hongyuan Kingdom."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "We had an agreement beforehand that after defeating the Hongyuan Kingdom forces, we would allocate these four platforms based on strength. Everyone can clearly see the strength of Miss Yun Li and myself. We will each take one platform; do you have any objections?"

Xiao Han nodded repeatedly and said gently, "Of course not! Without the assistance of Your Majesty the Pill King and Miss Yun Li, we wouldn't have had the Opportunity to share in the spoils at all. You two can each choose one platform first, and we will compete for the rest."

"But I have a small request."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Tell me first."

Xiao Han said gently, "Didn't we capture over thirty people from the Hongyuan Kingdom? Could the spirit tablet points in their hands be divided among the brothers of the temporary Alliance? After all, everyone worked so hard and risked their lives following me; they deserve some compensation, right?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "That is a minor matter. It is only right. Take those spirit tablet points! Miss Yun Li, do you have any objections?"

Yun Li nodded lightly and said indifferently, "One Opportunity to enter the Four Great Mystic Sects is already more than enough for me; it's time to let others have a taste of the soup. I have no objections."

A look of joy appeared on Xiao Han's face, and he said with a smile, "The magnanimity of you two is far greater than Xu Hongmi's! Since that is the case, I will thank Your Majesty the Pill King and Miss Yun Li on behalf of all the brothers!"
