549: Right, Sect Master Yun?

The Sect Master of the Yanyue Sect was a great beauty with a graceful figure, but she didn't have a charming vibe; instead, she possessed only a serious and cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

Huang Bingyan said to a handsome young man in front of her, "Pang He, you are powerful, and the Sect has invested a lot of effort in you over the years. In this Three Sects Competition, you must not lose to the Haoran Sect."

Pang He nodded with a determined look in his eyes; he also really wanted to experience the strength of the Haoran Sect.

He had heard from the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in the Sect before that the Haoran Sect was very strange. In several Three Sects Competitions, they had almost won, but in the end, a very ordinary person would inexplicably appear from the Haoran Sect and seize victory.

He didn't want this kind of thing to happen again.

"By the way, I heard the Jinyang Sect has also recruited a Disciple with an Immortal Physique ranked in the top thirty, and their strength is also extremely terrifying. You must be careful of this person."

Hearing this, Pang He's expression became somewhat solemn. In fact, compared to the Haoran Sect, his attitude toward the Jinyang Sect was clearly more serious.

From previous information, among the Heavenly Immortal level Disciples of the Haoran Sect, there were no particularly outstanding individuals, at least none who could compare to him.

Pang He said confidently, "Rest assured, Sect Master. This time, the Haoran Sect definitely has no chance. I haven't met that Prodigy from the Jinyang Sect yet, but I am confident I can win."

He was incredibly confident in his Physique and strength; even if that person from the Jinyang Sect was extraordinary, they could definitely not be his opponent.

Actually, normally, his strength could have already broken through to the True Immortal Realm, but he chose to suppress his Realm to participate in this Three Sects Competition, all for the sake of bringing glory to the Yanyue Sect.

His actual combat power was basically comparable to the Late Stage or even the Perfection of the True Immortal Realm.

This was the source of his confidence.

After receiving the people from the two great Sects, the Haoran Sect Leader also urgently convened a meeting.

The Three Sects Competition was essentially a hidden rivalry between the three Sects, so naturally, no one wanted to lose. The Haoran Sect had won many times before, and if they lost this time, they would surely be mocked mercilessly.

That feeling was very unpleasant.

"Do you all have any ideas? I've just investigated, and there is indeed a very powerful Prodigy in each of the two great Sects. However, they were shielded by the two Sect Heads, so I couldn't discern their origins."

The Third Elder's expression was somewhat solemn. "The two great Sects are prepared this time. Our Haoran Sect's Disciples from the last two generations don't seem to be up to par. This Three Sects Competition might be a bit difficult."

Suddenly, everyone looked toward the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder was not sitting. His original position was at the side of the Sect Head, but he was now standing. Everyone could only see his back; even the Sect Head could only see a bit of his profile.

They were already used to the Grand Elder's habit of turning his back to everyone, so there was nothing strange about it.

The Sect Head asked curiously, "Grand Elder, in the past several times, your Qiudao Peak won the finale. Do you have any certainty this time?"

The Grand Elder immediately spoke up, "I have no certainty. I don't know the specific combat power of my Qiudao Peak Disciples, but from what I understand, it might be a bit difficult."

The Sect Head could not probe the prodigies of the Yanyue Sect and the Jinyang Sect, but with his Immortal King strength, the Grand Elder naturally could.

He sensed that both were at the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm with Immortal Physiques, and their Immortal Physiques were incredibly powerful—one was the Mystic Yang Immortal Physique ranked twenty-seventh, and the other was the Tyrant Heaven Immortal Physique ranked twenty-eighth.

Both types of Physiques were quite terrifying. According to his estimation, their actual combat power could reach at least the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm.

With such formidable combat power, even his Qiudao Peak might not necessarily be able to win.

Because the Aptitude of those in Qiudao Peak was not the strongest, there were Disciples recruited in the previous session whose strength was also incredibly powerful, reaching the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. But even so, fighting against the Immortal Physiques of the two great Sects would likely be a struggle.

The probability of winning was at most ten or twenty percent.

As for this batch of Disciples, namely Su Chen and the others, there was even less hope. Currently, the strongest among them was only at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The weakest, Su Chen, was only at the Early Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; they couldn't fight at all.

Hearing this, all the Elders fell into silence, clearly finding this a bit hard to accept.

The Haoran Sect had always been a frequent winner, and losing suddenly would be very unpleasant. Especially the Sect Head's expression was even more unsightly; every time he won, he would say very kindly to the people of the Jinyang Sect and the Yanyue Sect:

"It's fine, work harder next time. You will definitely be able to defeat my Haoran Sect in the future."

He still remembered the way the two Sect Heads gritted their teeth. The Sect Head knew very well that if they lost this time, he would inevitably be mocked.

In fact, being mocked was just a small issue. The key was that both Sects had recruited Prodigy Disciples, but their Haoran Sect had not. If those two Prodigy Disciples grew up, another powerful combat force would appear in those two Sects.

Top thirty Immortal Physiques—those are the seeds of an Immortal King!

Thinking of this, the Sect Head's expression became increasingly unsightly.

The Grand Elder said in a calm voice, "Actually, there's no need to worry. Victory and defeat are common in battle. If those two great Sects can lose, why can't my Haoran Sect lose?"

After speaking, he directly disappeared from the main hall. The other Elders' mindsets didn't improve at all after his comfort; instead, they all sighed one after another.

The Three Sects Competition would begin the next day, and this day was the most agonizing for them.

The Elders racked their brains, but they couldn't think of how they could win.

The next day.

The Haoran Sect's Martial Arts Arena was basically not used on ordinary days and was only used when something major happened.

This Martial Arts Arena was also very massive. After everyone from the three great Sects sat inside, one-third of the seats remained empty.

"Sect Head Yun Mo!"

The Sect Heads of the Yanyue Sect and the Jinyang Sect both cupped their hands toward Yun Mo. Although their faces were full of smiles, there was a hidden killing intent in their eyes. They had all decided to give Yun Mo a show of force this time.

Yun Mo naturally saw through their little schemes. He coughed twice and asked with concern, intending to divert the topic, "Did you rest well in my Haoran Sect yesterday?"

A hint of triumph appeared on Huang Bingyan's frost-cold face. In the past, during every Three Sects Competition, Yun Mo would drag them along to ask about the situation in their Sects, such as the Disciples' cultivation levels and so on.

Looking as if victory was already in his grasp.

But this time Yun Mo had chickened out, which made the two's confidence surge even more.

"Sect Head Yun Mo, what are you saying? Your Haoran Sect is powerful, and every Disciple is a talent and an elite. How could resting in such a place not be comfortable?"

After mocking him, Huang Bingyan added once more, "This time, we must ask the Haoran Sect for more guidance."

The Sect Master of the Jinyang Sect also chimed in, "Sect Head Huang is right. The Haoran Sect's Disciples are powerful, while our Sects' Disciples have ordinary strength. It's only natural for you to guide us."

"Right, Sect Master Yun?"
