Su Chun, the daughter of Ouyang Yan, originally lived a rather restrained life in the Wuji Sect. Her every move was under the close surveillance of others, like a puppet being pulled by invisible threads, with no freedom whatsoever.
However, the gears of fate quietly began to turn, and from the moment Zhao Ziyi stepped into the Wuji Sect, everything began to undergo subtle changes.
The two quickly became very close, like sisters.
Zhao Ziyi seems to be highly regarded and valued by the sect leader Chen Tingxue, and her status in the sect is gradually becoming prominent.
Following Fang Han's meticulous arrangements, Chen Tingxue bestowed upon Zhao Ziyi some invaluable martial arts techniques and sword skills.
After spending some time at the Wuji Sect, Zhao Ziyi's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and she was about to break through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, making her a force to be reckoned with.
On a quiet night, the moonlight, as clear as water, spilled into the courtyard of the Wuji Sect.
Suddenly, a mysterious black figure appeared silently at Su Chun's residence, slipped a letter into the crack of her door, and then vanished without a trace like a ghost.
Su Chun returned to her room and found the letter. When she opened it, the contents shocked her greatly.
The letter actually instructed her to ask the Wuji Sect to let her participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Assembly, and to find an opportunity to escape and go to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The next morning, the sunlight shone on the earth, bathing the Wuji Sect in a golden glow.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Su Chun hurried to Zhao Ziyi's residence.
As soon as the two met, Su Chun couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Ziyi, have you heard about the Dragon and Phoenix Gathering?"
Zhao Ziyi nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said, "Of course I've heard about it. This year's Dragon and Phoenix Tournament is on a completely different level compared to previous ones. It's said that the winner of the women's group will receive a top-grade Divine Sense Pill. With my current cultivation level, if I can get this pill, I'll definitely be able to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm within a few years. At that time, if I can really get first place, the top-grade Divine Sense Pill will be mine for the taking. A few years later, I can smoothly step into the Divine Sense Realm and become a highly respected elder in the Wuji Sect."
Upon hearing this, Su Chun's heart stirred. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "That Fang Han will probably also participate in this conference."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyi's lips curled into a disdainful smile. She said contemptuously, "Fang Han? He only gained such great strength because he was secretly tricked by your sister Su Qianyu and the people of the Divine Doctor Valley into becoming a medicinal man. But after being targeted by the people of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, the medicinal properties in his body have definitely been completely absorbed by them. Now, his combat strength is not comparable to mine, and he probably can't even compare to you, a high-level Martial Grandmaster. If you can get a good ranking in the competition and obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, then you can become an inner disciple of the Wuji Sect and receive the sect's key training and high regard."
Su Chun deliberately feigned a worried expression and sighed, "Sister Ziyi, I also want to participate in this conference, but because of my mother's problem, the sect may not agree to let me participate."
Zhao Ziyi immediately patted her chest and said confidently, "This is easy to handle. I just need to talk to the sect leader. Given my relationship with the sect leader, she will definitely give me face."
Upon hearing this, Su Chun was overjoyed and quickly thanked her respectfully: "Thank you so much, Sister Ziyi. If I can really participate, I will never forget your kindness."
She genuinely believed that Zhao Ziyi had gained the favor of the Wuji Sect and was eagerly anticipating this opportunity to escape the sect's surveillance.
However, little did she know that all of this was a carefully planned scheme by Fang Han and the Wuji Sect Master, with the sole purpose of monitoring her and drawing out her mother, Ouyang Yan.
Soon, Zhao Ziyi went to Chen Tingxue's cave to request an audience.
At this time, Chen Tingxue was in seclusion cultivating, but upon hearing that Zhao Ziyi was requesting an audience, she made an exception and allowed her to pass a small note, which was then taken in by Chen Tingxue's attendant.
A short while later, the boy replied, allowing Su Chun and Zhao Ziyi to attend the Dragon and Phoenix Assembly together.
Within the Wuji Sect, there are countless outer disciples in their twenties who have reached the Martial Grandmaster realm. Many of them are preparing to participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament, hoping to take this opportunity to showcase their skills and enhance their status within the sect.
As for the Foundation Establishment stage disciple, there is indeed only Zhao Ziyi.
After all, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of twenty-five is no easy feat; it requires exceptional talent and relentless effort.
In fact, this was true not only in the Wuji Sect, but also in the Longyuan Sword Sect and the Qingxuan Sect.
Of these sects, only some outer disciples are prepared to participate, because most of the inner disciples are too old and have lost their eligibility to participate.
Reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in one's twenties is absolutely a genius among geniuses in Tianyuan County, and even in the entire Dragon Kingdom, with unlimited potential.
Soon, Su Chun learned that she would be able to participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Assembly, and her joy was palpable.
She felt that the Wuji Sect's surveillance of her had basically ended from this moment on, and she seemed to see the dawn of freedom shining ahead.
Soon, Su Chun and Zhao Ziyi came down the mountain together.
...
A grand gathering of dragons and phoenixes, a nascent meeting of heroes.
The Dragon and Phoenix Gathering was held as scheduled amidst great anticipation.
This is not just a martial arts event, but a top-level event for the martial arts community in Tianyuan County and even the surrounding areas. Its high level and wide influence are unprecedented.
This conference was jointly presided over by Han, the highly respected prefect of Tianyuan County, and Tantai Qiuyue, the newly appointed head of the Demon Suppression Division.
As soon as the news spread, the leaders of the three major sects responded one after another, bringing their carefully selected young talents to attend the meeting.
