There are a total of ten arenas in the main hall. Each arena looks only three meters in size, but in fact, once you enter the arena, you will find that it is extremely wide, as big as two or three football fields. In the arena, even if you perform the Transcendent Holy Body, it will not be crowded.

"The ranking competition of Baimai Xianzong relies on the competition among these disciples. Isn't it a bit of a joke?" Xu Feng couldn't help laughing.

If it was just a simple ranking competition, it would be understandable to let some sect disciples compete. However, Xu Feng knew that the interests involved in this ranking were enormous. Even a change in a ranking would cause a stir in the entire sect.

If the ranking of the disciples rose, it would be fine. But if the ranking fell, how could the elders in the sect be willing? This involved the interests of the top leaders. If it was not handled properly, the entire sect might fall apart.

"Hey, in fact, the ranking of Baimai Xianzong was determined long before the ranking competition!" Deputy Sect Master Qiu sighed and said, "How could the real decision of a sect's strength and foundation be these disciples who haven't even reached the king level?"

"An emperor-level expert?" Xu Feng suddenly had an idea and blurted out.

"That's right!" Deputy Sect Master Qiu nodded and said, "Only the emperor-level masters can determine the strength and foundation of a sect!"

"How many emperor-level masters are there in Yuhuang Palace?" Xu Feng asked curiously.

"Nine people have been exposed!" Deputy Sect Leader Qiu said with a dark face, "Last year, an emperor-level protector of the Jade Phoenix Palace Saint died in the secret realm, but not long after, another disciple broke through for unknown reasons, so the number is still nine..."

"Haha, it's hidden very deeply..." Xu Feng smiled and shook his head. How could it be such a coincidence?

“Hmph, I don’t know about other sects, but at least the top three sects have double-digit numbers of emperor-level powerhouses. I’m afraid only they themselves know the exact number!” Deputy Sect Master Qiu said in a low voice.

"If that's the case, then what's the point of this ranking competition?" Xu Feng shook his head and sighed.

"It's all for outsiders to see..." Deputy Sect Master Qiu smiled and shook his head, "But it can also show the potential of the sect!"

After that, Deputy Sect Master Qiu glanced at Xu Feng and said with a smile: "If you can win the first place in the Saint Son Competition, it will help our sect rank higher!"

"Why don't I just break through and become an emperor-level expert. Then the sect will have two emperor-level experts in charge. Wouldn't my ranking be raised by several places?" Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"If you can really become an emperor-level expert, Qinglian Sect will be able to rank in the top 30 at least!" Deputy Sect Master Qiu looked Xu Feng up and down and sighed. Eighth level of Qinglian Sutra, the peak of king level! There are at least eight hundred elders of this strength in Qinglian Sect, not to mention the eighth level of Qinglian Sutra, even if they have reached the ninth level, the peak of king level, Qinglian Sect has quite a few, but most of them die in this realm. Occasionally, there are a few who are unwilling to break through, but the final result is that they fail to break through and die...

“It’s not so easy to break through to the imperial level!” Deputy Sect Leader Qiu sighed softly.

…

In addition to these ten direct disciples, there are ten inner disciples and ten outer disciples. Most of the ten inner disciples are king-level powerhouses, and only three of them are at the peak of the immortal level. As for the ten outer disciples, most of them are at the peak of the immortal level, and only one has reached the initial level of the king level!

After this ranking competition, the ten outer disciples will definitely be promoted to the inner sect. If the ten inner disciples stand out in the competition and are valued by the elders, they are likely to become direct disciples. For all the disciples of Qinglian Sect, the annual ranking competition is an opportunity to make a leap forward and it must not be missed.

"Son, I'll leave these disciples to you." Deputy Sect Leader Qiu stood in front of the Navigation Platform, watching the disciples walk into the flying boat one by one, and said to Xu Feng;

Thirty disciples, plus dozens of escorting elders, a team of more than a hundred people entered the flying boat;

"Deputy Sect Leader Qiu, you must bring back a good ranking this time!" Xu Feng said with a smile. Deputy Sect Leader Qiu forced a smile, nodded, and said nothing.

With only one emperor-level expert who was about to die, the Qinglian Sect's ranking among the Baimai Immortal Sects had actually fallen to the bottom again. Just one leap in ranking was not enough to pull the Qinglian Sect out of the abyss, unless there was one more emperor-level expert...

Watching the flying boat slowly leave, Deputy Sect Master Qiu couldn't help but sigh, and he couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards the Sword Immortal Sect Master who had left the sect for a thousand years.

In the flying boat, Xu Feng and several elders sat together; "Elder Sun, I didn't expect that we would fight side by side again this time!" Xu Feng smiled at an elder who was about to start the fight; Sun Wuding nodded and said: "As a sect deacon elder, this kind of thing is my responsibility, but this time there is the Holy Son, let's not talk about other things for now, just the fight for the Holy Son, our Qinglian Sect will definitely make a big splash this time!"

"That's right. With the Saint Son's strength, he has a chance of winning even if he faces the number one Saint Maiden of Jade Phoenix Palace!" another elder echoed.

"Yes, Holy Son, this time our Qinglian Sect is ranked last again. Whether we can move up a few places depends entirely on you!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

…

Xu Feng smiled and waved his hand, he glanced around and found that almost all those who agreed were the elders who had entered the Tianhe Water Palace to explore together before, while the remaining elders were silent, some even looked at the elders who flattered them with surprised eyes, with a hint of disdain in their eyes; in their opinion, these elders flattered the Son of Heaven a little too much.

Boom! The flying boat suddenly shook violently, as if something was hitting the flying boat.

"What's going on?" Elder Sun's face changed slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked outside. After a moment, the flying boat shook violently again. Xu Feng looked out the window and saw a faint blue light curtain rising up, covering the entire flying boat!

"The defense formation has been triggered?" Xu Feng frowned slightly. If it was just a normal collision and there was no enemy attack, the flying boat's defense formation would not be activated. Once activated, it means that the flying boat is facing an attack from a powerful emperor. "Let's go out and see what's going on!" Xu Feng stood up and said.
