Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and Yan 'er sat at the same table.
The three of them casually ate some spirit fruits and occasionally drank a few mouthfuls of spirit wine. They whispered a few words from time to time, unlike the guests at other tables who were noisy.
They all planned to eat something casually and find a suitable opportunity to leave after the birthday boy, the Tian Jian Sect Master, finished his speech.
There was no need to eat this kind of awkward banquet, where everyone had their own thoughts.
They would feel awkward if they stayed in the hall for a while.
Not long after, the Tian Jian Sect Master walked up to the high platform and clapped his hands to signal the singers and dancers to leave.
His face was ruddy, and he spoke in a loud voice. He first modestly said a few words, and then he thanked all the guests.
When the Tian Jian Sect Master said, "Everyone, please drink to your heart's content," Ji Tianxing and the others thought his speech was about to end.
However, no one expected the Tian Jian Sect Master to continue, "It's rare for everyone to get together. Today, if it weren't for my birthday, you wouldn't have gathered here."
"We are all martial artists, and we are all outstanding martial artists in the Tianchen Region. Naturally, my birthday banquet will not be like the ordinary people's, where there will only be wine, meat, and singing and dancing. There will also be some wonderful performances to liven things up!"
Hearing this, the dozens of guests in the hall all stopped eating and drinking and turned to look at the Tian Jian Sect Master.
Everyone was a little confused. What exactly was the wonderful performance the Tian Jian Sect Master was talking about?
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, the Tian Jian Sect Master couldn't help but smile and say, "I have a suggestion. Tonight, the chief disciples of the eight sects will gather together. This is a grand event that only happens once every three years!"
"Taking advantage of this grand event, let the elite geniuses of each sect exchange pointers and learn from each other. This will not only enhance the friendship between the sects, but also allow everyone to feast their eyes on it. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, many of the guests from the second and third-rate forces applauded excitedly.
There was a huge gap between them and the eight sects. They could only look up to the majesty and glory of the eight sects. Of course, they were eager to see the disciples of the eight sects compete with each other.
After all, the chief disciples of the eight sects were all masters on the Star List. They were the most outstanding martial arts geniuses in the Tianchen Region!
Only in the Ranking of Stars Competition every three years would the elite disciples of the various sects compete on the same stage.
However, people from second and third-rate forces were simply not qualified to watch the Rank of Stars Competition.
That was why they applauded and cheered, trying their best to encourage the disciples of the various sects to spar.
As for the Sect Leaders and Chief Disciples of the various sects, they remained silent for the time being, silently weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.
Everyone knew that next year would be the triennial Ranking of Stars Competition.
At that time, the elite disciples of the various sects would compete on the Star Platform for the Ranking of Stars.
If they could take advantage of this opportunity tonight to let the disciples of the various sects exchange pointers, they would be able to learn more about each other.
This was a good thing for the disciples of the various sects. At least they could be prepared in advance.
At the thought of this, the leaders and chief disciples of the various sects came up with a plan.
The Sect Leaders of the Thousand Autumns Sect, the True Martial Sect, and the Wind Fire Sect immediately agreed with the Tian Jian Sect Leader's suggestion.
Qiao Xuan, Wang Tong, and the other two disciples also nodded in agreement. They also cast provocative looks at Ji Tianxing and the others.
The Sect Leader of the Pill Tripod Sect also nodded in agreement after hesitating for a moment.
As a result, only the people of the Sky Pillar Sect, the Heart-Moon Sect, and the Six Unity Sect had yet to express their opinions on this matter.
Coincidentally, the people from these three sects were seated right next to each other.
This time, not only the people of the various sects, but all the guests in the hall all looked at Ji Tianxing and the others in unison.
Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and secretly transmitted his voice to Yun Yao, "Eldest Senior Sister, the Tian Jian Sect Leader shouldn't be doing this on a whim. It's very likely that he's up to something."
Yun Yao nodded slightly and replied using a secret method, "Yes, I know."
"However, the Tian Jian Sect Leader has made this suggestion in front of everyone. I'm afraid that Elder Jun Yi and Sect Leader Yan won't be able to refuse."
Sure enough, after Jun Yi and Sect Leader Yan discussed it for a while, they both nodded in agreement.
Since the seven sects had all agreed to this matter, Yun Yao naturally couldn't refuse.
She didn't speak, so the Tian Jian Sect Leader took it as her tacit agreement. He teased her with a faint smile, "Yun Yao, you're already number one on the Star List. You're recognized as the number one genius in the Tianchen Region. You don't have to fight with these junior brothers and sisters, right?"
The Sect Leaders of the other sects chuckled and echoed the Tian Jian Sect Leader's words, teasing Yun Yao.
"Yun Yao, you're already at the Origin Core Stage, far surpassing the disciples of the other sects. If you go on stage, you'll be bullying others."
"I heard that there's a new genius in your sect who's also the personal disciple of your Sect Leader. His name seems to be Ji Tianxing?"
"Let Ji Tianxing go on stage. It's a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other."
The people from the Thousand Autumns Sect, the True Martial Sect, and the Wind Fire Sect all joined in the commotion.
Shi Wenyu, Qiao Xuan, Wang Tong, and the others also looked at Ji Tianxing with unfriendly expressions, revealing mocking expressions.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing naturally understood that the other party was targeting him.
Yun Yao secretly asked him, "Junior Brother Tianxing, what do you think? If you don't want to fight, I'll stop this. "
Ji Tianxing shook his head, and the corners of his mouth curled into a playful sneer. "Eldest Senior Sister, there's no need!"
"Shi Wenyu, Qiao Xuan, and the others who were defeated by me still haven't recovered from their injuries, yet they still dare to provoke me. I'd like to see what they're up to! "
Yun Yao thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She warned him in a serious tone, "Junior Brother Tianxing, be careful."
Yan 'er also looked up at Ji Tianxing and waved his little fist. "Senior Brother Tianxing, I believe that you can beat them all!"
Ji Tianxing patted his head and smiled confidently. "Of course!"
Soon, the people from the Tian Jian Sect cleaned up the high platform and set up a defensive array, turning it into an arena.
Shi Wenyu, Qiao Xuan, and the others whispered to each other for a while, then came to a tacit agreement.
Thus, Wang Tong of the True Martial Sect was the first to jump onto the high platform. He bowed to the guests in the hall and said loudly, "I am Wang Tong, the chief disciple of the True Martial Sect!"
After that, he looked down at Ji Tianxing and said in a cold and meaningful tone, "Ji Tianxing, Junior Brother Ji!"
"I still can't forget what you said to me that day under the Seven Stars Pagoda."
"Today, in front of all the seniors and fellow Daoists, I'd like to ask Junior Brother Ji to teach me a thing or two!"
"I'd like to see if Junior Brother Ji's strength is worthy of your arrogance."
When the hundreds of martial artists in the hall heard Wang Tong's words, they suddenly smiled playfully and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
