Time flies, and a month has passed in a flash. The time agreed upon by the three forces of Lingyan Pavilion and Feihong City has arrived.
During this time, Shen Qianjun found Qin Feng and the others and confirmed that they were representing Lingyan Pavilion.
The Lingyan Pavilion procession set off in a grand procession toward the decisive platform.
"We are truly grateful to you young friends this time. We, Shen and Lingyange, will certainly remember this kindness."
"You're too kind, senior. This is just a learning experience for us."
They soon arrived at the decisive platform, a famous landmark in Feihong City, where masters would hold duels.
At this moment, the decisive platform was surrounded by people, a sea of people, three layers deep, a very lively scene.
Feihong City is not only home to people from the four major powers, but also to many other cultivators who have gathered here at this time.
To ensure the fairness of the competition, Xu Zhenyang and his group gave it a good talking-to, making the event particularly lively at the moment.
Upon seeing the people from Lingyan Pavilion, everyone made way for them.
People from Guiyilou, Biyunxuan, and Haotianfu had already arrived early.
When Xu Zhenyang and his group scanned the crowd at Lingyan Pavilion, they saw Xu Yusong, who was unwell, and breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yusong was the person they feared the most.
What Xu Zhenyang, Pei Ming, and Sui Yong didn't know was that Leng Yuexi had already successfully refined the elixir, and Xu Yusong was recovering.
Although he hasn't fully recovered to his peak condition, at least his body is fine now.
At this moment, Xu Yusong's state was merely a deliberate act to lull them into a false sense of security.
Xu Zhenyang and the others then saw Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, Yin Tiantian, and Xiao Fan standing next to Shen Qianjun, and they whispered among themselves.
"These people look unfamiliar. Are they the outside help Lingyan Pavilion has invited?"
"Probably. He is handsome, but he can't cause any real trouble."
"That's true. Look, one of them is only about twelve years old. They really couldn't find anyone else, haha, so they even invited a child."
"That must be it. Just as we expected, didn't you also hire some help just to be on the safe side?"
"Haha, same to you."
There's also a hierarchy among them; whoever ranks higher gets more resources.
The three of them stood up and greeted Shen Qianjun and Xu Yusong.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Xu! Greetings, Pavilion Master Shen! We've been waiting for you for so long!"
People from other factions, such as the Fengqing Sect, the Haisha Sect, and the Lishui Sect, also greeted Shen Qianjun and his group.
"Sect Master Xu, Sect Master Shen, it's been a long time."
"Cough cough, you guys chat, I'm not feeling well, I'll sit down first." Xu Yusong looked frail, coughing as he found a seat.
Seeing this scene made Xu Zhenyang and the others feel even more at ease.
Shen Qianjun glanced at the people from the Fengqing Sect, Haisha Sect, and Lishui Sect, and asked, "Are you here to help them?"
"Hehe, I came by invitation, and also to watch the fun."
Shen Qianjun snorted, ignoring these people, and mocked Xu Zhenyang and his group:
"You've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you? You've really gone to great lengths, even bringing in outside help."
“Master Shen, what are you saying?”
“We’re all on the same page. We agreed that we can invite outside help. There’s no reason why your Lingyan Pavilion can invite outside help but we can’t. That’s reasonable, isn’t it?”
Shen Qianjun didn't waste any more words with them, snorted coldly and sat down.
Everyone else found a seat and waited for the competition to begin.
Qin Feng and his group discovered two people who surprised him.
It's Zeng Yunpeng from the Fengqing faction, the one who offended Yin Tiantian, and that Old Ding.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting next to a middle-aged man, with an elderly man in the center.
Judging from their appearance, they are all from the Fengqing faction. I wonder if they are here to watch or to help. I wonder if Zeng Yunpeng will join the fray later.
Qin Feng discovered that the old man's aura was similar to Shen Qianjun's, and he should be a Nascent Soul Venerable. The Fengqing Sect should not be underestimated.
He also took the opportunity to observe the people from other forces. Apart from the Nascent Soul Venerable of the Fengqing Sect, most of the people from other forces were Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, led by Nascent Soul elders.
Yin Tiantian also noticed Zeng Yunpeng, gave a displeased snort, and didn't say anything more.
Zeng Yunpeng also saw Qin Feng and the others, and his expression was very unpleasant. He whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
“Father, it was those guys who robbed me of my things last time.”
The middle-aged man sized up Qin Feng and his group, narrowed his eyes, and gave the order:
"Don't rush, let's wait until their business is over before we talk about it. Also, send someone to find out what relationship these people have with Lingyan Pavilion."
Zeng Yunpeng could only nod.
Seeing that they had all sat down, Xu Zhenyang addressed everyone loudly:
"Everyone is here, so let's not waste any time and get ready to begin. But before that, let's make a vow."
"I'll go first. I, Xu Zhenyang, representing Guiyi Tower, agree to this competition and decide on the redistribution of Feihong City's resources. I will not go back on my word afterward. If I break this oath, my path to enlightenment will be hopeless."
“I, Pei Ming, represent Biyunxuan… If I break this oath, my path will be hopeless.”
“I, Sui Yong, represent Haotian Prefecture… If I break this oath, my path will be hopeless.”
"I weigh a thousand pounds..."
Shen Qianjun's words were interrupted.
“Old Shen, let me handle this. After all, I am the Grand Pavilion Master. I, Xu Yusong, represent Lingyan Pavilion in agreeing to this competition and deciding on the redistribution of resources in Feihong City. I will never go back on my word afterward. If I break this oath, my path to enlightenment will be hopeless.”
All four parties have made oaths, and the matter is settled; there is no possibility of going back on one's word.
At this moment, Xu Zhenyang and his team breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. They were finally at ease, and all their scheming over the years had paid off.
"I now declare the competition officially open."
