If the disciples of the Fuyuan Sect saw their bizarre conversation, they would definitely spit in their faces.

Shi Xuan glanced at these warmongers who were fighting on the front lines, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Let's just go with the flow. We'll continue on our original path. If we encounter monsters, we'll fight them; if we encounter people, we'll fight them."

Lu Shan: "Didn't they confiscate the Langya Sect's spirit boat? Can't we take it to the sky to search for it after we've repaired it?"

“It won’t be fixed anytime soon,” Shi Xuan rolled his eyes at him, “Besides, can’t you fly on a sword yourself? You’re already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.”

Lu Shan shrank back and remained silent. He felt a little guilty. Although he was in the Lianfeng Sword Sect, he always considered himself a pill cultivator. He didn't know anything about sword control... Not everyone is as abnormal as the captain...

Moreover, the forest here is dense, and the trees grow extremely tall. Those who are not skilled at swordsmanship can only fly to the outer edge of the dense forest. By then, they won't be able to see the people below. If others are fighting, they might stumble and fall down, and they might not even be able to land safely...

In the end, the Lianfeng Sword Sect concluded this group competition by fighting demonic beasts.

When the competition time was up, the remaining disciples in the secret realm were collectively sent out, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Lianfeng Sword Sect was truly ferocious in this Six Sects Tournament!

Whether solo or in a group, they all seem to have been led astray by their captains, letting loose and completely losing their former serious and humble demeanor!

Regardless, the Lianfeng Sword Sect has truly made a name for itself this time! Sect Master Shi Mingxiu's face beamed with joy.

Not only during his tenure, but even if all the sect leaders of the Lianfeng Sword Sect were combined, none of them had ever achieved such remarkable results!

Five individual championships! Team championship!

What a glorious moment! This will surely be recorded in the annals of the Lianfeng Sword Sect! He, Shi Mingxiu, will be remembered in history just for recruiting a genius disciple!

The other sect leaders, seeing his smug expression, wished they could go up and scratch him a couple of times.

The Six Sects Competition has officially ended, leaving some happy and others sad.

Feng Hanmo, the sect leader of Langya Sect, announced the rankings of the group competition for the six sects in a loud voice.

Lianfeng Sword Sect was undoubtedly ranked first, and the second place was actually Fuyuan Sect, which was attacked first. Because they originally had the best resources, even though they lost some people, they managed to hold on until the end with the last few, thus preserving the points they had previously scored.

The third place went to the Yuxing Sect. Several of them escaped, but their captain was not sent away.

The fourth place goes to the Langya Sect. Although only three people remain, they are still far superior to the Luoyin Sect, which was completely wiped out. It can only be said that they are the best of the worst!

Only the world where the Hidden Sect was injured was achieved.

Chen Qi lowered his head slightly. The Luoyin Sect should have gotten second place, but because of his wrong decision, the entire sect was wiped out, leaving no one alive, and the competition ended with zero points.

Although even if he were to make the decision now, the result would probably be the same, as the captain, he still felt very guilty about the outcome.

Seeing his reaction, Sun Shaoxing took two steps forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "This was a decision we made together. At that time, we still had a chance to fight back. We did the right thing."

Chen Qi nodded solemnly. Sun Shaoxing, who was originally the one who advocated playing it safe and taking second place, could now understand his thoughts. None of the disciples around him who had lost the team competition blamed him. For a time, this defeat actually made the disciples of Luoyin Sect even more united.

Shi Xuan had already returned to the sect's location and received a warm welcome from the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect.

But she had something on her mind at the moment. She walked to the sect leader's side. When Shi Mingxiu saw her coming, he was already prepared to agree to part of her conditions, only part!

But Shi Xuan was not like usual at this moment; his expression was somewhat serious.

Shi Mingxiu asked with concern, "Is something the matter?"

Shi Xuan frowned slightly and recounted in detail to Shi Mingxiu her encounter with the Purple Flame Demon Lion within the secret realm.

“This Purple Flame Demon Lion is probably related to the [New Life] organization, and it seems that someone has already infiltrated our Six Sects Grand Competition,” Shi Xuan said.

Shi Mingxiu stroked his long beard and said, "This Purple Flame Demon Lion was originally sealed in the secret realm of the forest and should not have appeared in your competition space. This must have been caused by someone."

Shi Xuan pondered and said, "Among all the disciples who entered the secret realm this time, the highest cultivation level is only Golden Core. Unless someone is hiding their cultivation level, which is unlikely, it is more likely that someone entered before the secret realm opened and tampered with it."

Shi Mingxiu nodded, taking the matter very seriously, and immediately set off to discuss it with the other sect leaders.

It was the morning of the next day when he returned to the Lianfeng Sword Sect's base.

The message he brought back was that an elder of the Langya Sect had gone missing, and this missing elder had entered the secret forest realm to investigate before the Grand Competition.

If we consider these two events together, the most likely explanation is that the elder used the inspection as an excuse to tamper with the Purple Flame Demon Lion. He probably didn't expect the Purple Flame Demon Lion to escape so easily, and when he realized he had been exposed, he fled beforehand...

“After the incident with the Hidden Sect, all the sects were asked to conduct their own investigations,” Shi Xuan said. “I don’t know if it was because it wasn’t taken seriously, or if they were just too well hidden.”

Shi Mingxiu stroked his beard and said, "Last time, because of the eye totem, such a large group of people were found. I'm afraid they were already on guard. Without obvious markings, it's difficult to catch them unless they commit a crime."

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, making them indeed difficult to capture.

“Then let’s find their stronghold as soon as possible,” Shi Xuan said, then suddenly remembered something. “By the way, Sect Master, when I went to Qingshui City last time, I captured a group of villagers under the jurisdiction of the [New Life] organization. Let’s hand them over to the sect after we return. We can’t afford to keep them here and let them eat my food.”

Shi Mingxiu's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

How much food can a few villagers eat? They can eat some coarse grains, they're not eating your elixirs and fruits! Don't think he doesn't know these brats are making spirit stones at the Treasure Pavilion! They're just going to cry poor in front of him!

Before he could even speak, Shi Xuan launched her attack. Her expression changed instantly, and she became lively. Her large, slightly upturned eyes looked like those of a cunning cat, as if the serious person from just moments before was not her at all.

"This team won again..." She counted on her fingers, "Five individual victories and one team victory, six consecutive championships! I bet the sect leader will give me a big reward. Actually, it doesn't have to be that grand. I'd be happy with just ten shops and twenty kinds of seventh or eighth-tier spirit plants..."

Shi Mingxiu: ...
