As soon as he landed, Jiang Deng looked around and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "So many old acquaintances."

Not only were there people from the Taichu Sword Sect that she was familiar with in the crowd, but there was also a very special person...

“This isn’t…”

Jiang Deng's gaze subconsciously fell on the people coming from the Seven Star Villa in the ancient spiritual realm.

The seven people's clothes were of different colors, and they looked like the seven brightest stars in the sky. The person who caught Jiang Deng's attention was standing at the end of the team.

He was wearing a familiar moon-white robe, and even looked... a lot like Chengfeng.

Is this person really Chengfeng or is he fake?

Jiang Deng couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?"

Nangong Xiangrui, who was standing by, saw this and asked in time.

Jiang Deng raised his chin towards the direction of the Seven Star Villa and asked, "What's the situation with this sect?"

Nangong Xiangrui looked at them carefully and couldn't help laughing. "The largest sect in the Ancient Spiritual Realm is the Seven Star Villa. However, most of the people in the villa are magic cultivators, and there are very few sword cultivators. I guess they only managed to get these seven people together by force."

"Oh, I see..."

Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully and continued to stare at the man who looked very similar to Chengfeng.

At the foot of the mountain.

The Kaitian Sect disciple in charge of registration asked, "Who is the leader of your Qixing Villa?"

"Huh, is that even necessary?"

The person who spoke was a woman in red, tall and heroic, holding an unsheathed sword in her hand, looking very free and easy.

"Uh…so who is it?"

Xiong Heng, a disciple of Kaitianmen, asked in confusion. Seeing that no one answered, his eyes fell on Baili Chengfeng, who had the highest cultivation among the seven.

"You are so young, yet you have already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. I presume you are the leader of the Seven Star Villa, right?"

Baili Chengfeng's face turned pale and he shook his head, "I..."

This time he came just to hide his identity and find an opportunity to get close to Sword Master Duan Chuan and find out the news about his mentor. If he couldn't find out the news about his mentor, it would be nice to meet Jiang Deng.

Because he came here with a hidden identity, Baili Chengfeng did not want to cause any sensation, so the less trouble he could, the better.

This leader was too troublesome and conspicuous, and he didn't want to be one.

However, before he could say no, a man beside him interrupted him and looked at the woman in red with admiration, "Need I say more? Of course it's Senior Sister Ye Su!"

Ye Su humbly lowered his hand and said, "Junior brother, please keep a low profile."

Xiong Heng looked puzzled and said, "But your Senior Sister Ye Su is only in the late Nascent Soul stage, while the other party is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

The man named Han Kejin continued angrily, "He got in through the backdoor. How can he compare to Senior Sister Ye Su, who has been practicing swordsmanship since she was a child?"

Ye Su continued to humbly "keep a low profile" there.

Baili Chengfeng coughed lightly and said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I don't want to take the back door either. It's just that my sword skills are low and can't compare to the other sword cultivators."

As he spoke, he coughed a few more times, looking like he was seriously ill and about to die.

Seeing this, Ye Su frowned even more tightly.

I really don't know what the owner of the manor was thinking. Her relative is almost dying of illness, and she still wants him to participate in a sword-fighting competition...

Even if they were short of sword cultivators, they couldn't just drag any sickly person into the competition, right? They weren't afraid that this person would die on the field.

Seeing the disciples of Kaitianmen still arguing endlessly about the team leader, Ye Su lost his patience and slammed the table, his sword energy surging. "I am the team leader. What's wrong with you, kid?"

“…It’s gone.”

Although Xiong Heng always said that Ye Su's realm was low, he was actually only in the early stage of the Jindan realm. How could he defeat a strong man in the Yuanying realm?

At this moment, seeing the other party's tough attitude, he immediately softened.

"Fellow Daoists from the Seven Star Villa, please wait aside. Once the rest of the Spirit Realm personnel have completed their registration, you will be able to enter the Kaitian Gate."

"trouble."

Ye Su rolled her eyes and took everyone to the side to wait. Baili Chengfeng also followed with a cough.

"Why did you, the Taichu Sword Sect, only send nine people this time?"

Xiong Heng looked at the people from the Taichu Sword Sect who were walking towards him and couldn't help but wonder.

In the previous sword-fighting competitions, the people from the Taichu Sword Sect were the most active. Not only were there not enough spots, but there weren't even enough to go around. How come there were only nine people this time?

If nine people came from other spiritual realms, it would be a great harvest, but nine people came from the Taichu Sword Sect, which was a bit abnormal...

Jiang Zhiling didn't answer, but immediately asked, "Isn't my sister here yet?"

"Who is your sister? Is she famous?"

"Ginger Lantern!"

Jiang Zhiling spoke confidently, as if her elder sister was some great figure and everyone should have heard of this name.

Xiong Heng looked through the registration list and shook his head, saying, "There's no one named Jiang Deng."

Xia Chenqing also said: "...What about Jiang Deng?"

Xiong Heng continued to shake his head, "There's no one called Jiang Deng."

"I said, Ginger Lantern! Ginger Lantern!"

"Still no."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Taichu Sword Sect became anxious.

Sect Master Jiang had clearly arrived at the Myriad Swords Spirit Realm ahead of time, so why hadn't he even reached Kaitianmen yet? If he missed today, wouldn't he be unable to register?

Xiong Heng urged, "We don't have the time to wait for you. There are still people waiting to register!"

“That’s right!”

"Hurry up and register! If you don't register, you'll get out of the way!"

"Is the Taichu Sword Sect so great?"

…

The urging voices of a group of sword cultivators were heard behind him.

They were all sword cultivators who came from other spiritual realms to participate in the sword discussion conference, and their attitude towards the people of Taichu Sword Sect was extremely bad.

It seems to be a consensus that sword cultivators are poor. Every time they come to participate in the sword discussion conference, it is to ask for money from the largest sword sect.

However, the Taichu Sword Sect, as the second largest sword sect, is obviously not poor, yet they always come to participate in the sword-fighting conference. It’s okay for them to just come to participate, but they always win a lot of things to take back!

Seeing how much the people from the Taichu Sword Sect valued the person who didn't come, it was obvious that the person who didn't come was the strongest among them. They hoped that the person wouldn't be able to participate in the sword-fighting conference, so that they would have one less strong competitor.

Jiang Zhi said politely, "Fellow Daoist, could you give us a little more time?"

"Okay," Xiong Heng nodded and began counting down on his fingers, "Ten, nine, eight..."

As they heard the number shrinking, everyone in the Taichu Sword Sect couldn't help but become anxious.

If the countdown is over and Sect Master Jiang still hasn't shown up, then wouldn't Sect Master Jiang's place in the Sword Discussion Conference be cancelled?

"Three, two, one!"

Just as Xiong Heng finished speaking, a female voice sounded almost at the same time.

"This sect master is here!"

The next moment, a green figure flashed by, and Jiang Deng appeared at the front of the team!
