The spectator area on both sides of the golden carpet was already filled with Perfected Beings Jin Dan. Xuan Yi and Liu Hui gave a few more instructions before passing through the sunken area and heading towards the spectator area.
When they arrived, Xuan Yi and Liu Hui passed their sect badges to the bearded man and Bai Yuhan respectively.
Xuan Yi had been to the sect competition more than once and was acquainted with the three commanders. However, he still had to do a symbolic check.
The bearded man asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Wen Xuan, you didn't come this time round?"
When he heard that, Xuan Yi's expression darkened as he shook his head gently.
A look of sadness and anger flashed through Liu Hui's eyes as well.
The bearded man pondered for a moment and roughly guessed the truth.
In the battle of Dongling Valley, it was said that Misty Peak suffered heavy casualties and a few Perfected Beings Jin Dan died as well, leaving only one who managed to escape with severe injuries.
Judging from Xuan Yi and Liu Hui's expressions, Wen Xuan was most likely dead.
Xuan Yi forced a smile. "Three years ago, Misty Peak was ambushed and our sect disciples suffered heavy casualties. We didn't bring many people this time round so that they could broaden their horizons. As for the four ranking spots, we don't have any hopes of fighting for them."
The bearded man shook his head and said hurriedly, "Fellow Daoist, you're too humble. How can any Misty Peak disciple dare to underestimate you? Even if there's only one of you, you can crush all the paragons! "
"That's right."
Bai Yuhan smiled as well. "Congratulations, Misty Peak is going to be famous once more."
"Ah?
Xuan Yi and Liu Hui were stunned.
Both of them thought that the bearded man and Bai Yuhan were being sarcastic and mocking Misty Peak.
In previous sect competitions, Misty Peak could take at least three of the ten spots on the Spirit Ranking alone. At most, they could even take up half of the Spirit Ranking!
But now, there were a total of 40 spots on the four ranking lists for this sect competition and Misty Peak could only take up two spots at most.
It would be a miracle if they did not embarrass the sect, let alone become famous.
Liu Hui harrumphed coldly with a displeased expression.
Xuan Yi frowned in confusion.
The way he looked at the bearded man and Bai Yuhan did not look like he was mocking them. Just Now, his tone sounded sincere, as though he was referring to something else.
"The two of you, please come in."
The curly-bearded man nodded with a smile and added.
There were other Jin Dan Perfected Persons queuing up behind the two of them. Xuan Yi did not want to stay here any longer. He could only sit in the spectator seats with a hint of doubt.
…
"Look, the First Seat has already gone over."
Next to the sunken area, Little Fatty pointed to the distant spectator seats and said, "The seats of the two chiefs are quite good. They are very close to the throne."
The spectator stands could be divided into several areas.
There was only one seat in the first area, and that was the Emperor's Throne.
Below the Son of Heaven's throne, there weren't many seats in the second region. Right now, they were all empty, and no one was seated.
The third area was occupied by Xuan Yi, Liu Hui, and the others.
Apart from the two of them, the Perfected Jin Dan of Iridescent Clouds Palace, True Fire Sect, Southern Mountains Sect and Azure Frost Sect were already seated.
Next was the fourth area, where the Perfected Jin Dan of the other sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty were seated. It had the most seats and the largest area.
The fifth area was for the itinerant cultivators of Jin Dan realm.
"How ignorant. Even if Perfected Jin Dan of Misty Peak is seated in the third area, what can that prove?" Right then, a cold sneer sounded from the side, filled with mockery.
Another sarcastic voice sounded. "In my opinion, Misty Peak is going to be removed from the five major sects after this sect competition."
Little Fatty and the others frowned and looked over.
The two people who spoke were disciples of True Fire Sect standing at the side.
As one of the five major sects, True Fire Sect had more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Of the two people in the lead, one of them was a man with a chiseled face, a high nose bridge and thin lips. He exuded a cold and ruthless aura.
The other person wore a red robe and had a haughty expression.
"True Fire Sect doesn't have the final say on whether or not we're going to be removed. Take care of yourselves!" Xue Yi retorted angrily.
The man in the red robe turned around and scanned Xue Yi, asking with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you seem indignant? You're only at mid-stage Foundation Establishment. You must be here to fight for one of the three rankings – talisman, elixir or weapon. The Elixir and Weapon Refinement Masters of Misty Peak … Ha, I won't comment on them. "
Upon hearing that, the crowd burst into laughter.
In the previous sect competitions, none of the Misty Peak disciples could leave their names on the elixir and weapon rankings.
The Elixir and Weapon Refinement Masters of Misty Peak were a joke in the eyes of everyone.
When they heard the mocking laughter, everyone from Misty Peak had terrible expressions.
The man in the red robe smiled and continued asking, "In that case, you're a Talisman Master?"
"No!"
Xue Yi shouted, "I'm not afraid to let you guys know that I'm a Weapon Refinement Master and I'm here for the weapon refinement segment!"
"Oh,"
The man in the red robe dragged out with a look of realization and said with a fake smile, "So, you're a Weapon Refinement Master, and one from Misty Peak at that. Sorry for the disrespect."
Everyone present could hear the mockery in the man's tone.
The man in the red robe continued, "What a coincidence. I'm Tao Feng and I'm a Weapon Refinement Master as well."
"So, he's Tao Feng!"
"Who's Tao Feng?"
"The number one Weapon Refinement Master of True Fire Sect! He's only 30 years old and has successfully refined a superior-grade spirit weapon. He's already an Advanced Weapon Refinement Master!"
"It's rumored that Fellow Daoist Tao Feng is the number one weapon refinement master of the younger generation!"
When he heard the discussions in the crowd and sensed the envious gazes of the cultivators nearby, Tao Feng smiled and raised his chin slightly, looking at Xue Yi smugly with a provocative gaze.
"Fellow Daoist, how should I address you? I wonder what grade spirit weapon you can refine?"
Xue Yi blushed and did not say anything.
Given his capabilities, he could only refine inferior-grade spirit weapons and could not even refine middle-grade spirit weapons. Naturally, he was far from being comparable to Tao Feng.
Raising his brow, Tao Feng sneered, "So, you're a nobody."
"You …" Xue Yi glared at him.
"What's there to be proud of?"
Little Fatty pouted his lips. "The number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou, Mr. Mo, is so incredible and his achievements are a thousand times greater than yours. If you're really capable, go and compete with him!"
Tao Feng declared proudly, "Rumor has it that Mr. Mo is a Perfected Jin Dan and must have lived for a few hundred years. I dare say that Mr. Mo definitely won't be able to reach my achievements at my age!"
None of the cultivators present had the right to refute.
"Furthermore …"
Tao Feng looked at Xue Yi and sneered, "You think you're worthy of being called a Weapon Refinement Master? Let me give you a piece of advice, don't come out and embarrass yourself in the future. Hurry and scram back to your place! "
"F * ck …" Little Fatty's blood boiled and he was about to curse.
"Junior brother!"
At the side, Ji Chengtian frowned and held back Little Fatty who was enraged, shaking his head. "Forget it, let's not argue with them. Let's … sigh."
When they heard Ji Chengtian's sigh, everyone from Misty Peak went silent and felt a sense of helplessness.
No matter what, the current Misty Peak was indeed inferior to others.
When he saw that, Tao Feng was even more smug and roared in laughter. "Misty Peak has no one to refine weapons and yet any Tom, Dick or Harry dares to claim to be a Weapon Refinement Master? What a joke, haha!"
"Who said that Misty Peak has no one to refine weapons?"
Right at this moment, another voice resounded from the crowd, and it faintly revealed a trace of golden killing intent!
