"That's... Tang Xiayan from Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion. He's said to be one of the top three masters in the sect."

"Do you want to fight here? I heard that the disciples in the Stargazing Mansion are not good at close combat. Their strengths lie in formation arrangement and large-scale spells."

"I don't know, but the Guanxing Mansion and the Xiangyu Sect share the same origin. I'm afraid they can't stand it and want to help. Even if they fail, it will give the Xiangyu Sect more time to prepare and find Ye Qilin's weaknesses."

While everyone was whispering, the second fight had already begun in the hall.

Starlight twinkled in the hall, and then swift silver stars shuttled back and forth, surrounding Tang Xiayan and Ye Qilin fighting each other. For a moment, everyone's attention was once again attracted by the competition, and the sound gradually subsided.

…

Half an hour later

"Thank you, Senior Tang, for your guidance." Ye Qilin walked slowly to the center of the open space and bowed as he looked at Tang Xiayan, who was lying on the ground opposite him with several cuts on his body and torn clothes.

"Hey, that's too much!"

Before anyone from the Xiangyu Sect could come out, a burly man walked out from the seats at the other end of the hall. He was as strong as wind and fire, with muscles and skin like bronze, and looked extremely majestic.

"Ah, those are the people from Autumn Dusk Bronze Dragon Valley. I didn't expect them to come today. I didn't see them before."

"After all, we are from the same sect. Although there were some disagreements due to Gu Lie, we still sent someone here."

After the big man from Qiumu Tonglong Valley stood up, he did not walk towards the center of the hall, but came to the door.

"It's too cramped here, come outside!"

"Well, I'll do as you say, senior brother." Ye Qilin followed him out without saying a word.

Seeing the two people walking out of the hall, everyone gradually stood up and walked out of the spacious hall together.

Soon, a resounding dragon roar sounded in the mountains. When everyone walked out of the hall, they saw a four-clawed golden dragon soaring in the sky. It had wings on its back and its body was covered with golden scales. Every time it flapped its wings, a strong wind blew on the top of the mountain, making it impossible to open your eyes.

In the sky, Ye Qilin was like a tiny black dot, shuttling around the huge golden dragon and fighting with it. He held a heavy black and red axe in his hand, swinging it with a force of ten thousand pounds, chopping off layers of broken gold fragments from the dragon's body. When the dragon's sharp claws and fangs bit him, dark red scales like ink appeared on his body to resist the imminent attack.

The originally quiet sky was disturbed by the two people, flames were flying, clouds were breaking up, light and shadows were intertwined, and many ordinary mortals who were far away from this place were also attracted by this strange scenery and stopped to look at it.

While the fierce battle was going on within the Xiangyu Sect, at the foot of the distant mountain, a carriage was moving slowly along the road, occasionally bumping against the stones on the road.

Inside the carriage, a girl with black hair and a yellow dress sat under the window. Her face was soft and beautiful, and she was looking at the changing scenery in the distance outside the window.

In addition to the girl, there was also a person and a bird in the carriage.

The chubby chestnut-yellow bird squatted in the girl's arms, seemingly taking a nap, while opposite the girl, a man in purple clothes and a jade ring on his waist was reporting something.

"Further ahead is the Xiangyu Sect's mountain gate. About six hundred true disciples from our Zhaoye Palace are waiting outside the mountain gate. They will then climb the mountain with Senior Sister Luo Lan."

"Thank you for your hard work." The girl turned around and slowly stroked the sleeping bird in her arms.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know if anyone in the party still remembers me."

She spoke softly, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.
