Another half month passed. Faced with the Supreme Fortress's meticulously practiced and continuously reinforced array, the United Sects exhausted all their efforts but still could not find a way to break it. In the end, they could only reluctantly admit defeat in the sect war...

Unexpectedly, in the history of the selection of saints, the united sects persisted to the end for the first time in history, but still failed to win and were defeated in the sect war. After this battle, everyone realized the correct way to play the sect war!

It's easy to guess that the next selection of saints will most likely evolve from individual battles into sect battles. At that time, the selection process will be stretched out for a longer period of time, and it may not be possible to determine the winner within a year...

After Lingquan announced that the Supreme Fortress had won, cheers erupted in Saint Valley. The Saint Selection had finally come to an end, and everything was settled. Unexpectedly, this year the Supreme Fortress had benefited the most. It seems that instead of joining forces with other sects, it would be better to strengthen one's own sect's strength, just like the Supreme Fortress. By practicing formations early, they would not have been defeated so early!

Since it was a selection competition, naturally some were happy and some were sad. After the joint sect was defeated, a large number of cultivators sighed and lamented. Victory was in sight, but in the end, they handed it over to others. Only those who were there could truly understand the bitterness of it all...

Looking at the group from Jishangbao, there was a hint of jealousy and anger in their eyes. Under the envious gazes of everyone, Jishangbao was in a great mood and full of confidence. With the number of red flags in Jishangbao's hands, they were a sure thing to be fourth place. As long as the selection of saints ended, they could safely step into the long-awaited saint's mansion with the three major sects!

However, when faced with a temporary victory, some people will get a little carried away, even become complacent. After the Supreme Fortress dispelled its great formation, one of them glanced at the Hidden Moon Sect hiding in the corner, along with its lone red flag, which stood out conspicuously among the trembling crowd.

"Lord of the Fortress! That Hidden Moon Sect still has a red flag, should we seize it?"

The lord of the Supreme Fortress was taken aback for a moment, but didn't say anything immediately. However, the disciples beside him started talking all at once:

"Why are you fighting over this? It's a waste of energy. Our sect is already in fourth place. We just need to wait for time to come!"

"We must seize them! Only by taking all the red flags into our possession can we truly demonstrate our sect's strength!"

"That's right, we have to snatch it. Besides, with the strength of the Hidden Moon Sect, any one of them could easily finish the battle. Let's just treat this as a post-victory pastime, haha..."

The crowd chatted amongst themselves, their faces beaming with victorious smiles. In their eyes, the Hidden Moon Sect was like a lamb to the slaughter. Several disciples even gleefully suggested that they should thoroughly humiliate the Hidden Moon Sect, as a form of retribution. After all, even they had been intimidated by the Hidden Moon Sect's reputation and dared not cross the line before...

The lord of the Supreme Fortress secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they hadn't managed to challenge the Flying Flower Sect as they had hoped, at least the result was good. They still obtained a spot to enter the Saint's Mansion, and the Supreme Fortress had regained its position as the fourth sect in Saint Hill. As for the Hidden Moon Sect, which looked like a clown in front of them, let the disciples treat it as a form of relaxation and entertainment...

"Go ahead, stop when you've made your point, finish this quickly, consider it a relaxation..."

"Your disciple obeys! The Lord of the Fortress is wise!"

Amidst laughter, three disciples emerged from the Supreme Fortress and flew towards the Hidden Moon Sect in a corner. The remaining disciples, including the Supreme Fortress Master, waited with expressions of anticipation for the show to unfold. In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the Hidden Moon Sect.

"Disciples of the Supreme Fortress have come to challenge you. Please send someone to fight! If no one dares to fight, you shall concede defeat and hand over the red flag you are holding!"

The three disciples from the Supreme Fortress were arrogant and haughty, especially when they talked about admitting defeat. Their words were full of disdain, which made the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect very uncomfortable. A few hot-blooded disciples even turned red in the face and stood up abruptly.

"Heh! There really are some fearless people who actually accepted the challenge. This is going to be fun. It'll be a good opportunity to test out the new magic weapon I've been cultivating recently. I didn't even get a chance to use it in the previous sect wars, haha!"

Considering Li Sisui's strength, when arranging the disciples to accompany him, Feng Teng Dao Ren basically chose newly recruited disciples, just to let these disciples broaden their horizons and gain experience. Because of Li Sisui's presence, they basically had no chance to make a move, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

On the other hand, the Hidden Moon Sect has just moved to a new location and is participating in the selection of saints. The journey is long and the process is lengthy. The sect must leave some disciples to guard the place and prevent anyone from causing trouble during the selection period!

Based on these two considerations, those who ultimately remained in the sect were the elite forces of the Hidden Moon Sect, while those who came with them to participate in the selection were all newcomers, just there to broaden their horizons and gain experience!

Therefore, the disciples who came to participate in the selection had an average cultivation level of less than the third level of the Transformation stage. However, none of them made it to the Saint selection. The selection was about to end, and they still hadn't seen the shadow of the senior brother and the sect leader. This group of newly recruited disciples had their eyes opened, and were mainly quite frightened. If it weren't for the deterrence of the three major sects, they might not have returned alive this time...

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

"Next!"

Young and impetuous, their courage is commendable, but they are indeed inferior in skill. Relying solely on enthusiasm and courage cannot create miracles. The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect were filled with righteous indignation, but their strength could not support their solitary courage. Under the attack of the disciples of the Supreme Fortress, they were all defeated!

"Individual battles are indeed troublesome. You have to defeat all ten disciples who participated in the selection in turn to win. It seems that sect battles are much less strenuous. I wonder what benefits you gave the True Martial Hall, that you would spread rumors about your terrifying strength everywhere. It's laughable!"

"Hurry up, who's next?"

"Admitting defeat isn't enough! Your strength is truly disappointing. You even said you were testing the power of your new magical artifact, but you're utterly pathetic! A bunch of incompetent fools!"

Defeat and admitting defeat are two completely different things. It's not shameful to lose a fight, but it's incredibly shameful to admit defeat without even fighting. Especially now, they are not only representing themselves, but also the Hidden Moon Sect. How could they possibly admit defeat? Although these new disciples are not very strong, they are tough and resolute!

It was said that they stopped short of death, but they were spared from execution. However, they could not escape punishment. Especially since the two sides were of vastly different strengths, every defeated and fallen disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect was seriously injured. Almost none of them could stand up. Even so, they continued to fight one after another, which moved the people on the sidelines slightly.

Amidst the uproarious laughter of the disciples of the Supreme Fortress, seven of the eight disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect had already fallen. The only disciple who had not yet participated in the competition was tightly gripping the red flag in his hand, his teeth clenched in fury. If he also fell, then the Hidden Moon Sect would be utterly defeated...

"Last one, it's your turn, hehe!"

The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, their faces filled with resentment and despair, roared to the sky:

"Senior Brother! Sect Leader! Where have you all gone?"

The disciple of the Supreme Fortress, confident and arrogant, declared:

"With your strength, you dare to relocate your sect next to the True Martial Hall? After the selection, you should propose to the Fortress Master that you wipe out the Hidden Moon Sect, hahaha!"

Buzz!

"Who said they wanted to wipe out the Hidden Moon Sect? Please say it again!"
