Feng Heyun and the other two followed closely behind.

Ye Huai noticed a few people moving quickly in the crowd. His eyes flickered, and after exchanging glances with Song Weiyan and the other two, the four of them set off together.

They all stopped Feng Heyun and the others who were walking towards them.

Eight people stood facing each other.

On one side are Shen Sangruo's current fellow disciples, and on the other side are her former senior brothers. The gap in the middle seems to divide the two sides into two completely different worlds.

Ye Huai and his three companions formed a solid wall, protecting Shen Sanruo behind them.

Lu Shiqing's eyes turned sinister: "Get out of the way!"

Ye Huai remained unmoved, his expression growing increasingly cold, and his voice filled with chill as he said, "If you truly care about her, then don't cause trouble at this moment."

"Who do you think you are?" Lu Shiqing gritted his teeth, meeting Ye Huai's gaze, his emotions seemingly on the verge of spiraling out of control.

“We are her senior brothers and sisters, so what do you think we are?” Song Weiyan also dropped his nonchalant attitude.

Feng Heyun's eyes were filled with hostility. "What are you pretending for? We've been her senior brothers for years! You have no right to stop us!"

Ye Huai glanced at the token in his hand. Since the two were a pair, he said coldly, "Whether you are qualified or not, the competition stage will tell."

"Fine! Very well then." Feng Heyun's eyes flashed fiercely. "Let's settle this on the dueling platform!"

He could never lose to that annoying, ice-cold face!

Lu Shiqing tried to force his way through the crowd's obstruction, but Wen Xuan stopped him, shaking his head, "Don't make things difficult for Xiao Ruo."

They still have many opportunities to find Shen Sangruo, there's no need to rush and hurt their relationship with her again.

Seeing the sadness in Wen Xuan's eyes, Lu Shiqing gradually loosened her clenched fist.

"At least you guys have some conscience," Su Xiyu sneered.

At this moment, Bai Mumu rushed over, trying her best to maintain her composure. "Senior brothers, the first round of the individual competition is about to begin. I should go back and prepare."

Feng Heyun glared fiercely at Ye Huai before the group turned and left.

On Chen Sangruo's side, the people from various sects also dispersed, preparing for the upcoming individual disciple competition.

The elders' competition took up the entire morning, and the first round of individual competitions began in the afternoon.

The second and third rounds will take place tomorrow morning and afternoon, respectively.

The individual competitions over the past two days have only determined the top two finishers. On the third day, a final battle of three groups of individual competitions will be held.

From the conversation just now, Shen Sangruo had a general understanding of Mei Mei and the others' group assignments.

The participants in the upcoming first round of competition are: Ye Huai, Feng Heyun, Fang Yu, Zhu Huaqiao, and Chen Zhouxing.

Apart from Fang Yu, who is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the others are all at the late-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The lists for each group were displayed on the panel. Apart from the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators mentioned above, Shen Sangruo did not see any other people who could compete for first place.

Gu Ci Zhenjun announced the start of the first round of the competition.

Similar to the elders' competition, the matches were drawn by lot, with multiple matches taking place simultaneously.

After Shen Sangruo and the others cheered him on, Ye Huai, holding the Nether Shadow Sword, arrived at the corresponding arena.

Place the token in your hand into the stone trough next to the entrance, and a line of words will be automatically projected: Ninghua Sect Ye Huai.

Only after confirming that the information was correct were they allowed to pass and enter the competition platform.

His first opponent was the young sect leader of the sect that ranked 263rd in the previous competition, who was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

He was knocked off the stage after only three moves.

Meanwhile, Feng Heyun's opponents were also disciples from around 250 sects. With a swift movement of his sword, he ended the battle in three moves.

The two were on separate platforms and could see each other.

Although they weren't drawn together, both of them were sword cultivators, and their every move seemed to be a contest.

If you eliminate your opponent in three moves, then I will not be able to use a fourth move.

On the competition stage, the cold light of swords flashed and the shadows danced, all vying to see who could eliminate their opponent in the shortest amount of time.

It wasn't just a contest between Ye Huai and Feng Heyun, but also a duel between Song Weiyan and Luo Chu. The two of them were practically shouting themselves hoarse, seemingly competing to see who could shout the loudest.

"Brother, that was brilliant! Yes, yes, yes! That's the sword!" Song Weiyan exclaimed excitedly.

Shen Sanruo silently covered her ears.

"Senior Brother, hurry! They're about to eliminate their opponent!" Luo Chu shouted anxiously through gritted teeth.

Feng Heyun was thoroughly annoyed by Luo Chu's incessant squealing. "Stop yelling!"

Ye Huai was not affected by Song Weiyan and performed normally.

Ye Huai's Shadow Sword Technique is swift and fierce, while Feng Heyun's Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is elegant and graceful. Each has its own strengths, and individually, neither is inferior to the other.

The two, who were putting in all their effort, quickly attracted the attention of most of the spectators.

"I had long heard of Senior Brother Feng's Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and now that I have seen it, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

"That's Master Lingxiao's chief disciple, what do you think?"

"That Ye Huai from Ninghua Sect is not bad either. If I'm not mistaken, he's also the first disciple of Immortal Lord Changli, right?"

"It's fate's arrangement. I wonder if the two of them will fight to the death like Lingxiao Zhenren and Changli Xianjun."

"Please, you really have to make sure the two of them run into each other."

They were all a bunch of people who loved watching the drama unfold.

Unfortunately, the two never met.

On the other hand, Zhu Huaqiao and Chen Zhouxing ran into each other earlier.

"The young sect leaders of the Weapon Forging Sect and the Alchemy Sect have been drawn together!"

"The duel between the young masters of the fifth and sixth sects in the previous competition is absolutely spectacular!"

The cultivators cheered excitedly and decided to put Ye Huai and Feng Heyun aside for now and go watch the battle first.
