Qin Guang?

Jiang Deng frowned slightly.

She always thought that Qin Guang and Jiang Yuanyi were birds of a feather. If she hadn't been interrupted by Lin Jun last time, she would probably have sent Qin Guang to the underworld to meet his father.

The other party had not shown up for a while, so she forgot about him. Unexpectedly, he quietly won the second place in the Qi Refining Realm competition area.

Tsk, but Qin Guang is too weak, so even if he comes to seek revenge on her, he is nothing to be afraid of.

Jiang Deng looked at the ranking list of the Jindan realm competition area again. There were some familiar faces on it, and quite a few of them.

First of all, the leader is the sect leader’s second disciple Wen Yan.

She knew Wen Yan, the young man who sent them to Zangfeng on the day of the entrance examination. He always liked to smile with his eyes narrowed. Jiang Deng had some impression of him.

But, what about Shi Zihang, who came in second?

Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zihang, who started the gambling game, also participated in the entrance examination and achieved a good result of second place in the Jindan realm. With such a powerful disciple, it seems that there is no need to worry that he will default on his debts.

As for the third place Feng Jiuyou?

It’s boring, so I’ll skip it.

"Thirty disciples on the list, please follow me into the hall!"

Xia Chenqing came in mid-air and spoke loudly.

Jiang Deng followed the group to the main hall, but she found that Lin Jun was not among them, so although there were thirty people, there were actually only twenty-nine.

Inside the main hall.

It was obvious that Sect Leader Su Heng and a group of Peak Masters were the masters, but the person sitting at the head seat was Baili Chengfeng.

When he saw Jiang Deng coming to the hall among the disciples, Baili Chengfeng subconsciously glanced at Jiang Deng, then quickly looked away. He felt a little guilty no matter how he looked at him.

Wu Cheng also saw Jiang Deng in the center of the crowd.

Originally, he had a bad impression of Jiang Deng because of Yun Bozhong's incident. In this sect competition, Jiang Deng made him slap him in the face many times, so that he hated Jiang Deng even more. However, it was not easy to get angry directly, so he could only snort coldly and turn his head away.

Zhan Ji was sitting at the very end. Seeing that Jiang Deng, Jiang Zhiling and Feng Qing were all among the candidates, Zhan Ji secretly gave the three of them a thumbs up, and the three of them smiled back.

“Ahem…”

As Su Heng coughed lightly, the hall instantly became quiet.

Su Heng stood up and glanced at the people below. "First of all, congratulations to all the disciples who made it into the top ten of each division in the sect competition. Now, let me say a few words."

“…”

Jiang Deng, who was sitting below, couldn't help but roll his eyes. After hearing Su Heng's opening remarks, he knew that he would not be short.

Sure enough, Su Heng began to speak at length.

"I believe everyone already knows that this internal competition was held early because it coincides with the once-every-hundred-year sect ranking competition. This sect ranking competition is a competition that hundreds of sects in the entire Feiran Spiritual Realm will participate in!"

"This sect ranking competition will be held in a month at the second-largest sect, the Paradise Palace. Victory or failure will directly determine the sect's ranking within the Feiran Spiritual Domain. If our Taichu Sword Sect wishes to maintain its title as the largest sect, we must take first place in this sect ranking competition!"

"As for the sect ranking competition rules, all disciples under the age of thirty are required to participate, regardless of their cultivation level. This is precisely why our Taichu Sword Sect's internal competition will be held early, in order to select the right candidates to compete in the Blissful Immortal Palace!"

"So, this year's sect ranking competition will depend on you all!"

Everyone in the hall showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Most of them had no idea that such a secret was hidden.

Some people sensed the danger of this sect ranking battle, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes. However, the disciples who were extremely loyal to the Taichu Sword Sect could not help but feel a surge of emotion in their hearts, and their sense of mission increased dramatically. They wished they could win first place for the Taichu Sword Sect right now!

Jiang Deng, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

She was wondering why the Taichu Sword Sect was willing to give out mustard seeds as the prize for the champion. It turns out that there must be brave men under great rewards, and they would trick people into working for them!

Well, even though she was very cunning, she was fooled.

Looking at the disciples' undisguised dejection, Su Heng chuckled and said, "Of course, our Taichu Sword Sect will not treat its disciples unfairly. If you can help our Taichu Sword Sect maintain its first-place advantage, you will all be our heroes, and you will definitely receive rewards!"

Jiang Deng couldn't help herself, she stretched out her hand and asked, "What about our current reward?"

"Yes! Sect Master, can you please send us the rewards for participating in the sect competition first?"

"Master, you're not going to wait until the sect ranking competition is over before sending it to us, are you?"

…

Led by Jiang Deng, everyone raised their questions.

Under normal circumstances, they would never dare to contradict the Sect Master, but after all, Jiang Deng was the Peak Master. With Jiang Deng leading the charge, even if the Sect Master was unhappy, he couldn't blame them.

The smile on Su Heng's face froze a little. "No hurry, I haven't finished what I want to say yet. Uh... where were we talking about?"

"Oh, by the way, in order to allow you to further improve your strength before participating in the sect ranking battle, all thirty of you are eligible to enter the secret realm!"

"Secret realm?"

Many people expressed their doubts. They really didn't know there was such a thing as a secret realm.

Su Heng explained, "A thousand miles away in Dalai Mountain, a secret realm is about to emerge. The owner of that secret realm is Venerable Wei Yan, who ascended to the upper realm three hundred years ago. Rumor has it that there is a legacy left by him in that secret realm, and it is very likely that there is a divine-level body-refining technique inside."

God-level body-refining technique!

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Body-refining techniques are rare, and divine-level body-refining techniques are even rarer. If they can obtain Venerable Wei Yan's techniques, then they will definitely be able to successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation and ascend to become immortals, just like Venerable Wei Yan!

Even Jiang Deng's eyes showed a bit more eagerness.

Before, no matter how hard she tried, she could only refine 20% of the Hongmeng Spring Water in her body. The remaining 80% had to be assisted by body refining techniques to be fully refined.

She is determined to get this divine level body refining technique!

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm aroused, Su Heng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The news of the secret realm's imminent appearance has been blocked by our Taichu Sword Sect, Jile Immortal Palace, and Lingxiao Sect. At that time, only disciples from our three major sects will be allowed to enter the secret realm."

"Due to the special nature of this secret realm, only cultivators under the age of thirty can enter. Old folks like us can't go along. The person leading the team is..."

As he spoke, Su Heng looked at Xia Chenqing who was waiting beside him. "Chenqing, I remember that you are not yet thirty years old. How about you lead the team on this trip to the secret realm?"

Xia Chenqing bowed and was about to agree.

"etc!"

Jiang Deng's sudden shout drew everyone's attention to her.

Su Heng frowned, "Jiang Deng, what's your problem?"
