Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is the day that the Ninghua Sect members are preparing to head to Fenglingtai.

Fenglingtai is the venue for all previous sect competitions.

Shen Sanruo and several other senior brothers and sisters, dressed in Ninghua Sect attire, boarded the Ninghua Sect's flying boat.

Next, they will represent Ninghua Sect in battle.

The flying boat beneath my feet looks quite ordinary; it's the only one left from the great upheaval of Ninghua Sect, and it's been repaired and maintained by Daoist Wuwei for a long time.

Everyone was present, and the airship started moving.

Shen Sanruo glanced at the people on the flying boat, then suddenly thought of something, her eyes flickering slightly.

She asked Immortal Lord Changli, "Master, what about the elders' competition?"

To this day, the only people from Ninghua Sect who can participate in the Elders' Competition are him and Daoist Wuwei.

Immortal Lord Changli remained calm and composed, saying, "Don't be hasty."

He looked up and gazed into the distance, then smiled, "Here we are."

As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of azure light pierced through the air and landed gracefully in front of the two of them.

"Qingluan Fairy?" Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Sangruo immediately went to greet her, her tone filled with joy.

Qingluan Fairy feigned disgust and pushed away the hand that was linked with hers, "Stay away from me."

Shen Sanruo smiled and clung to her even tighter. Qingluan Fairy just clicked her tongue and didn't push her away anymore.

Immortal Lord Changli tossed the Ninghua Sect Elder's Identity Token, which he had prepared beforehand, to Immortal Lady Qingluan.

"Second Elder of Ninghua Sect, Fairy Qingluan, you must bring glory to our Ninghua Sect!" Immortal Lord Changli drawled out the last syllable.

Qingluan Fairy caught the token steadily, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "This fairy is only here to help temporarily."

"Are you relieved now?" Immortal Lord Changli looked at Shen Sangruo. "As I said, leave the problem to me."

Shen Sanruo was pleasantly surprised that Qingluan Fairy could come to help, as she thought the aloof Qingluan Fairy wouldn't be interested in such things.

"Stop flattering yourself. I only came because of her." Fairy Qingluan couldn't stand Changli Immortal Lord's attitude and poured cold water on him.

The "she" she was referring to was naturally Shen Sangruo.

“That’s right, that’s right. Fairy Qingluan clearly came for me.” Chen Sangruo nodded in agreement, throwing a provocative look at her master. “Some people shouldn’t flatter themselves.”

The two looked so intimate that anyone who didn't know better would think that Qingluan Fairy was her master.

It's unclear what she said that provoked him, but Changli Immortal Lord's face immediately fell.

He glared at her and angrily retorted, "You have no manners! When I met her, you were still soaking in the River of Reincarnation."

Shen Sangruo was quite satisfied. This was exactly the kind of stimulation his master needed. Maybe one day he would finally understand.

At that time, Immortal Lord Changli was too busy thanking her.

Looking at her smug expression, Fairy Qingluan thought that she was not much different from Immortal Lord Changli. That's why they were master and disciple.

He felt even more agitated and his expression became even more disgusted.

Shen Sangruo seemed oblivious, still smiling as she pulled the person aside, saying, "Fairy, let me show you my modified feather fan."

Immortal Lord Changli stood behind them, arms crossed, watching them.

Meanwhile, Shen Sangruo and the other senior brothers and sisters were secretly observing from ten meters away.

I was amazed that she dared to be so intimate with someone as terrifying as the Azure Phoenix Fairy.

As expected of their junior sister, she's terrifyingly powerful.

All the participants from Ninghua Sect who were going to compete had arrived. After several days, the flying boat had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and Fenglingtai finally came into view.

At the same time, many other flying boats from various sects appeared around their flying boat.

The flying boat was decorated with flags representing various factions, such as the Weapon Refining Sect, the Spirit Plant Valley, and the Divine Talisman Sect.

Shen Sanruo's gaze swept across the group of flying boats, spotting both the Beast Taming Sect's and the Joyful Union Sect's flying boats.

Ji Zicang and Fang Yu might also be on that flying boat.

She shifted her gaze from the two airships and looked ahead at several airships that were clearly larger and more luxurious than the others.

Wherever it passed, other flying ships automatically made way for it, its imposing presence inspiring awe.

Those are the flying boats of those major sects.

Shen Sanruo recognized the Flying Cloud Sect's flying boat at a glance. As the winner of the last sect competition, its entourage was naturally the largest among all sects.

She withdrew her gaze, and the Ninghua Sect's flying boat drew ever closer to Fengling Terrace.

Fenglingtai was built specifically for the sect competition. When each sect's flying boats boarded Fenglingtai, a spiritual message would be broadcast.

"The Hehuan Sect has arrived. Their ranking in the previous session was: 821st."

"The Divine Talisman Sect has arrived. Their ranking in the previous session was: 972nd."

"The Azure Waters have arrived. Their ranking in the previous session was 745th."

Then, the calm spirit suddenly became a little agitated:

"The Beast Taming Sect has arrived! Their ranking from the previous competition was: Third Place!"

At this moment, in addition to the contestants from various factions who had already arrived, there were also spectators from all over the cultivation world sitting on the Fengling Platform, making the entire Fengling Platform completely packed.

The sect competition is held once every ten years and can be described as the most exciting event in the cultivation world.

Upon hearing that the third sect, the Beast Taming Sect, had arrived, the crowd erupted in cheers, almost drowning out the sound of Lingyin announcing the arrival of other sects.

Everyone looked towards the Beast Taming Sect's flying boat. That was the third-ranked sect, one of the top forces in the cultivation world.

Dongfang Xu, aboard the Beast Taming Sect's flying boat, raised his head. He was none other than the acting young sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect.

He sneered, "What a bunch of country bumpkins. We're just here to get this excited."

Amid the cheers of the cultivators, the spiritual sound rang out once more.

"The Beast Taming Sect has arrived. Their ranking in the previous session was: 999th."

Everyone's attention was focused on the Beast Taming Sect, and almost no one paid attention to such a small sect.

The person next to Dongfang Xu smirked, "They haven't even fallen out of the top 1000 yet. We can't be lenient with them this time."

"Everyone, target that wretched little sect with all your might! They rejected our sect leader's offer and still think they can survive in the cultivation world?"

The man's words drew unanimous agreement from the others on the airship.

They would naturally crush any sect that defied them into the mud.

Dongfang Xu's face turned cold as he stared at the man. "Xu Han, do you have the right to give orders here?"

"Remember your identity. I am the one who will fight as the young sect master of the Beast Taming Sect."

A shadow crossed Xu Han's eyes. He saw Sect Leader Guan Hui approaching out of the corner of his eye, so he could only restrain himself and refrain from making a move.

"Xu Han understands." He put on a smile and said obediently, "How could Junior Brother dare to overstep his bounds?"

"Hmph, you know that much." Dongfang Xu swaggered away, leading the Beast Taming Sect members elsewhere.

Xu Han clenched his fists inwardly. He had only become the temporary young sect leader by narrowly defeating him, yet he was already putting on airs!
