In the eastern part of the Tianwu Continent, there were three empires: the Nangong Empire, the Oshikaze Empire, and the Netherworld Empire.
In the three empires, there were four superpowers: the Nangong Family, the Yufeng Pavilion, the Netherworld Hall, and the Medicine Mountain Villa.
The four superpowers had been in an alliance for hundreds of years. Every three years, they would hold a "Hunting Competition" to promote friendship, but in fact, it was a secret competition to compare their strengths.
The Hunting Competition was actually an activity to hunt and kill magical beasts. Each superpower could send five disciples to participate, but the strength of the disciples had to be between Wu Zun's level.
The reason this rule was established was because the Magical Beasts within the three empires' territories were comparatively lower in quality, and the slightly stronger ones were only Exalt Rank Magical Beasts.
Although there were Divine level magical beasts, they were extremely rare. Therefore, in order to make the hunting more interesting, it was most suitable to choose disciples at the same level as Wu Zun.
The location of the Hunting Competition was in a large mountain range called the "Magical Beast Mountain Range", which was located in the middle of the three empires.
The Magical Beast Mountain Range was just like its name. There were a lot of magical beasts in the mountain range, and they were all very ferocious. Most of the magical beasts were at the Honorable level. Therefore, it was the best place for the Hunting Competition.
At this moment, in the sky above the Oshikaze Empire, a strange giant magical beast was flying at an extremely fast speed.
It was a Honorable level magical beast. It was very big, and it flew very fast. Because its appearance was similar to an eagle, it was called the "Swift Eagle Beast".
The Swift Eagle Beast was relatively docile. After some training, it could be used as a means of transportation.
However, because the Swift Eagle Beast was very rare, there were only four superpowers in the three empires that had Swift Eagles.
On the back of the Swift Eagle Beast was a group of people from Yufeng Pavilion, who were going to participate in the Hunting Competition.
This time, Yufeng Pavilion had sent a total of five disciples to participate in the Hunting Competition.
One of them was ranked second on the elite list, and the disciple of the second elder of the cabinet, Wu Zun "Hu Bin".
The third was a beauty, Wu Zun "Zhao Yue".
Ranked 4th, Brother Fatty, Intermediate Wu Zun "Gao Hao"
Rank 5, Brother Thin, Low-Level Wu Zun "Ma Qiang"
There was also Xing Jue, who had defeated Gao Le and replaced Gao Le, who was ranked sixth.
There was also the Grand Elder of the Inner Cabinet, Luo Tengyun, who was leading them.
At this moment, the Great Elder was sitting at the front of the Swift Eagle, while Xing Jue was sitting beside the Great Elder, chatting happily with him.
"Great Elder, the hunting competition is held once every three years. Who was the champion last time?" Xing Jue asked curiously.
"This Hunting Competition has a history of a few hundred years. Up until now, it has been held no less than a hundred times. However, the results of every competition are similar."
"First place will always belong to the Nangong Family. Second place will belong to our Yufeng Pavilion. Third and fourth place will be alternated between the Nether Hall and the Herb Mountain Villa," the First Elder said with a smile.
"In these thousand years, has our Yufeng Pavilion ever won first place?" Xing Jue asked again.
"Yes, that is indeed the case. The strength of the Nangong Family is unfathomable. Even the younger generation of our Yufeng Pavilion has always been a head above us." The Great Elder seemed a little helpless as he said this.
"Oh?" After hearing the Great Elder's words, Xing Jue expressed some doubts. Previously, when he was at the Herb Mountain Villa, he had seen the strength of the Nangong Family's disciples. They were not very strong.
"Hehe, Xing Jue, don't look down on the Nangong Family. Although your aptitude is very good, the Nangong Family does not lack talented and outstanding disciples."
"Especially twenty years ago, a disciple who could be said to be a monster appeared in the Nangong Family. Her speed of growth is simply embarrassing."
"Her current achievements are unparalleled even in the entire Yufeng Pavilion." Seeing Xing Jue's doubtful expression, the Great Elder reminded him again.
"A demon-level disciple?" Hearing this, Xing Jue started to treat the Nangong Family with a more serious attitude.
A monster disciple who appeared twenty years ago. Didn't that mean that the disciple had grown to the point where no one in the Yufeng Pavilion could match her? Even Xing Jue was in awe of that level of cultivation talent.
"Yes, but speaking of that, your little girlfriend, Li Xiaohan, can compete with her." Then, the Great Elder looked at Xing Jue and said with a smile.
"Eh, hehe." Hearing the Great Elder's words, Xing Jue laughed foolishly. Li Xiaohan's cultivation talent was indeed somewhat terrifying.
"Hmph, this brat's boot-licking skills are really not simple." Just as Xing Jue and the First Elder were chatting excitedly, Hu Bin, who was seated behind, softly muttered. Moreover, his eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Xing Jue.
"You are jealous, right?" Coincidentally, his words were heard by Zhao Yue, who was ranked third on the Elite List, and she immediately said sarcastically.
"Joke? Why would I be jealous of him? "Hu Bin replied unhappily.
"Jealous of his talent that is better than yours." Zhao Yue was very straightforward and she said it directly.
"Pfft, talent? I can kill him in three moves. "Hearing Zhao Yue's words, Hu Bin said with extreme displeasure.
"Hehe." However, Zhao Yue only smiled slightly and said no more. Her meaning was very clear. That is, you can continue to brag.
"You!" Seeing Zhao Yue's expression of disbelief, Hu Bin was even more furious. He immediately gritted his teeth and said no more.
After traveling for ten days, a magnificent mountain range finally appeared in front of them.
Looking at the huge mountain range in front of them, Xing Jue also let out a sigh. This Magical Beast Mountain Range was several times bigger than the ancient mountain range of the Netherworld Empire.
After the Swift Eagle Beast flew for a few hours in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a small city appeared in everyone's sight. It was the destination of Xing Jue and the others.
Although this city was not big, it was very exquisite. In the middle of the city was a relatively large plaza, in the middle of the plaza was a large hall, and around the plaza were many small pavilions.
The pavilions were divided into four areas, which were obviously the distribution of the four major powers. Outside the city, there was a huge wall made of special rocks. The wall was very tall, and the reason why it was built like this was to prevent the invasion of the Magical Beasts within the mountain range.
After the Swift Eagle circled above the city a few times, it slowly landed on the plaza in the middle.
At this moment, Xing Jue and the others also discovered that there was actually a Swift Eagle next to the plaza. At this moment, it was currently lying in the corner of the plaza, snoring loudly. Obviously, someone had arrived before them.
"Haha, isn't this the Yufeng Pavilion's Elder Luo? I didn't expect you to come personally this time." As expected, just as Xing Jue and the others dismounted from the Swift Eagle, a loud laughter sounded out from the plaza's hall.
Looking over, they saw a black-haired old man wearing a black robe walking towards them with a smile on his face. However, for some unknown reason, Xing Jue felt that his smile was too artificial.
Behind the old man were five men in their twenties. These five men wore the same black robes, and the word "Master" was engraved on their chests.
Obviously, these five disciples should be the Nether Hall's Main Hall's disciples. Moreover, their strength had reached the level of Intermediate Wu Zun. On the surface, it seemed that their lineup was slightly stronger than the Yufeng Pavilion's.
After seeing the old man, the Great Elder also smiled and said, "So it's the Nether Hall's Elder Liang."
After seeing the five disciples, Zhao Yue said in a low voice, "They actually sent the Main Hall's disciples. How shameless."
Hu Bin, Gao Hao, and Ma Qiang also nodded in agreement. Only Xing Jue had a disapproving look on his face.
To Xing Jue, an Intermediate Wu Zun did not pose any threat at all.
However, this also reflected the difference in strength between the Yufeng Pavilion and the Nether Hall. It was obvious that the Nether Hall's inner hall did not have a disciple that had reached the level of Wu Zun. That was why they sent the Main Hall's disciples.
However, the only thing that made Xing Jue unhappy was the disdainful smile that hung on the faces of the five disciples. It was as if they looked down on Xing Jue and the others.
Therefore, Xing Jue secretly made a decision in his heart. If he had the chance, he would definitely make these five Nether Hall's disciples suffer a little.
"Ao …"
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the sky. Looking over, one could see another Swift Eagle circling in the sky. After circling for a while, the Swift Eagle slowly descended.
After the Beast Tamed Eagle landed, six people walked down from it.
Other than the old man who led the group, the rest of them were wearing white robes. Furthermore, their robes were embroidered with elixirs and gourds. When everyone saw the embroidery, they knew that the people from the Medicinal Herb Mountain Villa had arrived.
Xing Jue recognized the elder who led the Medicinal Herb Mountain Villa. Back when he participated in the New Excellence Competition, he was the one who had given Xing Jue the Soul Assembling Pill.
However, apart from this elder, there was another person who caught Xing Jue's attention.
It was a female disciple following behind the elder.
The female disciple had a head full of silky black hair that danced in the wind. She had a fair complexion and gave off an otherworldly aura. Even the ordinary white robe that she was wearing gave off an exceptional aura.
Although the distance between them was still very far, the fragrance from the woman's body had already reached his nostrils. This fragrance was actually the fragrance that only a high-grade pill would have.
However, what attracted Xing Jue was not her beautiful appearance, but her high-grade Wu Zun strength.
If a mid-grade Wu Zun did not pose a threat to Xing Jue, then a high-grade Wu Zun would be a different story.
However, at this moment, the "Three Stars" medal on the woman's chest made Xing Jue's eyes light up.
"Three Stars Alchemist!" Looking at the Three Stars medal, Xing Jue said in shock.
Xing Jue was not unfamiliar with that medal. It was the symbol of an alchemist. Furthermore, a Three Stars Alchemist was the top alchemist in the eastern part of the Sky Martial Continent.
At such a young age, she had already reached the level of a Three Stars Alchemist. Moreover, she also had the strength of a high-grade Wu Zun. This woman was not simple.
However, other than this female disciple, the other four male disciples of the Medicinal Herb Mountain Villa were a bit weaker. They were all actually at the level of a low-grade Wu Zun.
However, in terms of overall strength, they were still much stronger than his Yufeng Pavilion. After all, a high-grade Wu Zun was not someone that three mid-grade Wu Zun could compare to.
Compared to Xing Jue, Hu Bin and the others frowned when they saw the female disciple of the Medicinal Herb Mountain Villa.
