Li Yunxiao was certain that this person was Tan Dijun's simulation.
With this, he overturned his original observations. Since Tan Dijun had such a brilliant simulation technique, it was highly possible that there were powerful people hidden among the seemingly casual cultivators below the stage. He had to be even more careful.
He thought to himself that he had to save his life when he assassinated Zhang Linghua. Tan Dijun was definitely unreliable and he had to control everything by himself.
Elder Lu greeted the few people who came before him, then walked to the end and sat down. Tan Dijun and another disciple carefully stood behind him, not feeling out of place. Furthermore, looking at the situation, this Elder Lu was definitely one of the six elders that Tan Dijun had roped in. However, his strength was very limited, only at the level of a one-star Martial Saint.
Finally, a familiar figure entered Li Yunxiao's sight. After a ray of light fell, Mei Dong 'er appeared behind an old woman. The old woman wore embroidered clothes with two red-crowned cranes chasing each other. After she greeted everyone, she found a seat in the front row and sat down.
In terms of position, her position should be relatively high among the many elders.
Mei Dong'er, on the other hand, was wearing a peacock green dress with scattered flowers and butterflies. It contrasted with her fair face and looked very cute. Although she was not an absolute beauty, she still attracted everyone's attention. Li Yunxiao could hear many people beside him salivating. However, Mei Dong 'er's face was expressionless. Her gaze fell below the stage, as if she was looking for something in the crowd. Her eyes were filled with loneliness.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Li Yunxiao. She was stunned for a moment, then she revealed a joyful expression. Her eyes shone brightly and she revealed a rare joyful smile. If not for her master, He Yanrong, being present, she would have shouted out loud.
Li Yunxiao smiled and gestured at her.
"Dong 'er, you know that person?"
He Yanrong immediately noticed Mei Dong 'er's action. She frowned and focused her gaze on Li Yunxiao. She said in surprise, "Eh, who is that kid? He's about the same age as you, but he has the cultivation of a peak five-star Martial Ancestor! "
There was a hint of shock in her voice.
Mei Dong 'er's talent could be counted on one hand in the entire Bei Dou Sect, and it was hard to find a second one. Who would have thought that they would find such a talented junior?
When Mei Dong'er heard He Yanrong's question, she immediately became nervous and quickly said, "Yes, this person is the person who saved me in the back mountain that day!"
"What?!"
He Yanrong was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
When Mei Dong 'er returned that day, she told He Yanrong everything that had happened in the back mountains. However, Yin Nian and Yuan Qiushuang were the disciples of the other two elders, so she had no right to punish them. Furthermore, the two elders were people who were extremely difficult to provoke. Adding on the fact that Yin Nian's family background was not insignificant, even though she was angry, she did not dare to act rashly or do anything shocking with the Sect Competition at hand. Instead, she quietly told Zhang Linghua about this matter. Zhang Linghua also told her to restrain herself and wait until after the Sect Grand Competition.
Now that she saw the person who had saved Mei Dong 'er that day, other than feeling shocked, she also had a good impression of him. "Do you know where this person came from?"
Mei Dong'er shook her head and only added timidly after a while, "I just feel that he's … unfathomable …"
"Unfathomable?"
He Yanrong frowned slightly as if she was pondering over the coldness of this sentence. Her gaze did not leave Li Yunxiao for even a moment, but it became extremely gentle.
Another beam of light shot into the viewing platform. A skinny old man in a green robe swept his gaze across the crowd. Without greeting anyone, he strode towards his seat in front of him.
However, no one felt that it was inappropriate. Instead, they all stood up and bowed to the old man politely. Many of the elders were very respectful. Even He Yanrong stood up hurriedly and greeted, "Elder Feng!"
The old man did not respond. He went straight to his seat and sat down. As if there was no one else around, he closed his eyes and rested.
Elder Feng's actions did not seem out of place to the people on the viewing platform. Instead, they felt that it was the case. However, in the eyes of the people below, there was an uproar.
"F * ck, who is that old man? Do his parents know that he's so arrogant? "
"Do you f * cking want to die? That's the head of the Big Dipper Sect's ten great elders, Elder Feng. His abilities are no weaker than Sect Leader Zhang! "
"Hiss! I … I … The old man I was talking about just now was that sloppy One-Star Martial Arts Grandmaster over there. Don't f * cking link my words to the revered Elder Feng. Do you want to die? "
"… F * ck your sister! You're obviously talking about Elder Feng! "
"F * ck, how can I not know Elder Feng? You're really evil. You actually wanted to make enemies for me. Today, I've seen your true colors. Our friendship is over!"
Li Yunxiao looked at Elder Feng. If he accidentally glanced at him, this old man would seem ordinary and unremarkable. Even if he glanced at him lightly, he would not feel that there was anything special about him. However, if he looked closely … he would realize that his true face could not be seen clearly. He only gave off a feeling of being in a trance, his face faintly discernible.
'This old man is really strong. It's very likely that he's another half-step Emperor Wu!'
Li Yunxiao secretly frowned. He did not know if this old man had been roped in by Tan Dijun. If not, then when two half-step Emperor Wu attacked him at the same time, the danger would multiply.
"Haha, Sect Leader Liang is here too. Apologies for not coming out to greet you!"
On the viewing platform, He Yingrong smiled and stood up. Under the escort of a group of people, a middle-aged man in white walked over with a smile. He was dressed like a scholar and had the temperament of a sect leader. It was the New Moon Sect's Sect Leader, Xiao Minghui. The New Moon Sect was also one of the local factions in South Fire City. They had played an extremely important role in the process of fighting against the Chamber of Commerce.
Li Yunxiao once again saw a familiar face. Liang Kuan was also in the crowd behind Xiao Minghui. However, he had a stern face and looked absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind. There was also a slightly calmer man who looked similar to Liang Kuan following behind Xiao Minghui. He was probably the vice sect leader, Liang Ye.
"Elder He, you're too kind. To have Elder Yu accompanying me is already a great honor for Minghui."
Xiao Minghui was cultured and refined, and his response was very generous and appropriate. Everyone was actually old acquaintances.
Beside Xiao Minghui, an old man in a gray robe twirled his beard and smiled. "To be able to chat with Sect Leader Xiao, I've gained a lot."
He made an inviting gesture and arranged for Xiao Minghui to sit on the left of the front row, while he himself sat on the right, between He Yingrong and Elder Feng. It was obvious that he was ranked second among the group of elders, and his strength was also extraordinary.
There were four empty seats in the middle. They were probably left for the few people with the highest positions in South Fire City.
"The ten elders of the Bei Dou Sect are all here! I've seen a few elders appearing one after another over the past few days, and now they're all here! "
As Elder Yu sat, the ten elders of the Bei Dou Sect were all present. Elder Feng was the leader. He still had his eyes closed and did not care about the outside world. The last one was Elder Lu, a one-star Martial Honorable.
"Nonsense. Don't you know what day it is? The twenty disciples who are going to compete in the finals are all disciples of these elders. Of course we're concerned. "
"Yes, it is said that if one is able to enter the top ten, the Instructing Elders will also receive great benefits. You should know that these Elders are all Martial Saints. Any one of them would have great power in South Flame City."
"Look, it's … the two sect leaders! The Bei Dou Sect's Zhang Linghua and the Sky Scorpio Sect's Li Fengyu! "
Li Yunxiao followed a ray of light and looked at the spectator seats. Several figures appeared. The man on the left was wearing a green robe. His eyes were deep and dark, but his face was slightly pale. He did not seem to be in good spirits. The man on the right was wearing a light smoky robe. His physique was more muscular, and his movements were calm. It was the Sky Scorpio Sect's sect leader, Li Fengyu.
The arrival of the two immediately caused everyone in the spectator seats to stand up. Even Elder Feng opened his eyes slightly and nodded at the two.
Li Yunxiao carefully extended his divine sense over, but it was immediately blocked by an invisible force. Instead, the force followed his divine sense and tracked him. His expression changed slightly. He decisively cut off his divine sense and pretended to be an ordinary cultivator. He looked at the people in the spectator seats with admiration.
Zhang Linghua frowned slightly and glanced at Li Yunxiao. A hint of suspicion flashed across his face, but he only snorted lightly and did not think much of it.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Li Fengyu saw that something was wrong with his expression and asked in surprise.
Zhang Linghua shook his head and smiled. "Nothing. Brother Li, please take a seat. "
The two looked at each other and smiled. They walked up together and sat in the middle seat to the left, leaving two empty chairs. Everyone's eyes turned cold. They knew that the seats were reserved for the merchant groups. Although they were constantly fighting in the dark, everyone still got along harmoniously on the surface.
"This Li Fengyu is very strong. He actually set up a divine sense barrier. I can't find out anything about him."
Li Yunxiao thought to himself. It was not that his divine sense was not strong, but if it was too obvious, he would be discovered very quickly. However, as long as he did not reach the level of Emperor Wu, he did not need to worry too much.
After Zhang Linghua sat down, he said, "Let's begin."
Elder Yu stood up and whispered, "Don't wait for Lei …"
Zhang Linghua waved his hand and cut him off. He said coldly, "We're ready. Since they don't want to come, there's no need for them to come."
Elder Yu nodded lightly and walked forward. He said loudly, "The last day of the Big Dipper Sect's Grand Competition begins now. Now, according to the order in which you drew lots, you will enter the arena one by one!"
"Haha, Sect Leader Zhang, we're only half a step late. Are you going to reject us?"
A clear and bright voice came from afar, shaking the entire mountain. Everyone looked outside, but it was empty. There was no one in sight.
