Before entering the arena, Bai Yunzong said a few words to Ling Yiyue and the other disciples of the Eighth Stage Martial Path before letting them enter the arena.
When a total of seventy-seven eighth stage Martial Path disciples walked onto the Imperial Army Martial Field, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Many people's palms began to sweat as they became nervous.
It was the first time in many people's lives that they had fought in such an environment. The people who were watching the battle all held high positions in the entire Tang Empire. If they could catch their eye, it would be another way for them to develop in the future!
Very quickly, the seventy-seven people were gathered in seven different directions in the Imperial Army Battle Field, looking at the disciples of the other sects with vigilance.
"Let's begin."
With Chu Chaosheng's order, the first round of the Martial Competition of the Seven Sects began!
The atmosphere in the Imperial Army Dojo became heavy, as if there were layers of dark clouds shrouding the heads of many participating disciples.
"Kill!"
The disciples of the Rain Sword Sect were the first to attack. A group of 12 young swordsmen charged at the 10 disciples of the Thousand Thread Sect!
The Thousand Thread Sect had obtained seven Martial Competition Arrows from the beginning, which made the Rain Sword Sect quite unhappy. At this moment, the disciples of the Thousand Thread Sect were their first targets!
"Attack!"
The disciples of the Hidden Fire Temple and the Broken Blade Sect looked at each other and then charged at the Zhentian Clan disciples without hesitation. In an instant, the flames of war erupted!
"Help!"
The disciples of the Ice Sect immediately rushed over and stood together with the disciples of the Zhentian Clan.
In such a chaotic battle, forming an alliance was obviously the best way to obtain the greatest advantage. However, the reasons for forming an alliance were different.
The Zhentian Clan and the Ice Sect wanted to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect together in an attempt to disrupt Chu Chaosheng's plan to weaken the seven sects.
As for the Hidden Fire Temple and the Broken Blade Sect, they had the same enemy — the Zhentian Clan!
The seven sects had naturally had many conflicts with each other since they had developed to this point.
Some conflicts were nothing and could be resolved peacefully. However, some conflicts had deep hatred that could not be resolved peacefully.
For example, Long Yu had killed Huofu, the son of the Hidden Fire Hall's Hall Master. As long as Huofu's father, Huo Haishan, was still the Hall Master, the enmity between them would never be resolved.
A chaotic battle immediately broke out. However, there was one sect's disciple who didn't get involved. It was the group of girls from the Qingcheng Pavilion.
The Rainfall Sword Sect's disciples and the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples fought each other. Sword Qis flew in all directions, and shadows wandered everywhere. As soon as they came into contact, the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples turned into shadows and dispersed from the battlefield, causing most of the Rainfall Sword Sect's disciples to pounce on empty air.
Bang! Bang!
The silhouettes of the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples flickered as they wandered around the Imperial Army's dojo. They quickly inserted themselves into the chaotic battles of the other sects, causing the entire situation to become even more chaotic.
When the Falling Rain Sword Sect saw that the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples were scattered, they didn't feel too conflicted. They thought that their deterrent force was too great and had scattered the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples.
Each of them wielded a sword and charged into the chaotic battle, wantonly unleashing sword qi.
At this moment, there were a total of seventy-seven disciples at the eighth stage of the Martial Path on the Imperial Army's dojo. Only by driving the other sixty-six people off the dojo would the battle end.
As for the remaining eleven people, they would each be able to obtain a martial arrow for their sect!
In the chaotic battle, the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples were clearly targeting the Zhentian Clan's disciples. This greatly increased the pressure on the disciples of the Zhentian Clan and the Ice Sect.
The situation was extremely chaotic, but Ling Yiyue was indeed protected by many people in the center.
"We're at a disadvantage in numbers. We can't beat them."
As time passed, two Zhentian Clan disciples had already been injured. They admitted defeat and left the dojo. The remaining Zhentian Clan disciples were also separated by the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples in the chaos.
Originally, Bai Yunzong had wanted to ally with the other sects to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect, but he never expected that the Zhentian Clan would be the one being targeted!
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Zhentian Clan disciples to remain standing until the end!
Not long after, all the Zhentian Clan disciples, including Ling Yiyue, admitted defeat and left the dojo. No one died, only some were seriously injured.
Of course, those who were injured would definitely be fine with the healing pills that Old Bai had prepared. However, in the first round of the chaotic battle, the Zhentian Clan had suffered a crushing defeat.
The Ice Sect's disciples weren't much better off because they were with the Zhentian Clan. They didn't last long before they all admitted defeat and left the dojo.
This caused the Ice Sect's disciples to feel dissatisfied. If they hadn't allied with the Zhentian Clan, they wouldn't have been targeted like this!
However, the Ice Sect's Sect Master, Tang Qin, didn't say anything about it.
Allying with the Zhentian Clan was the best solution Tang Qin could think of. At the very least, it wasn't something that a single sect could do alone against the Thousand Thread Sect.
No matter what, in this chaotic battle, they just had to do their best to chase the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples out of the dojo!
However, because the Thousand Thread Sect's disciples were agile and had cultivated some martial techniques that could control shadows, they could turn into shadows and escape. Their ability to survive was too strong.
When the Zhentian Clan and the Ice Sect's disciples were completely annihilated, only three Thousand Thread Sect disciples admitted defeat. There were still eight Thousand Thread Sect's disciples in the Eighth Level of the Martial Path!
In the chaos, the Rain Sword Sect, Hidden Fire Hall, Broken Blade Sect, and Qingcheng Pavilion each only had about half of their people left.
The Thousand Thread Sect had the most people left!
"They're here to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect!"
The remaining disciples of the four sects weren't idiots. They knew that the Thousand Thread Sect was the biggest enemy in this Seven Sect Martial Competition. Otherwise, their sects would be shaken.
At this moment, they had finally joined forces to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect disciples!
A Rain Rain Sword Sect disciple was chasing after the shadow of a Thousand Thread Sect disciple. He kept swinging his Sword Qi. Suddenly, the Thousand Thread Sect disciple's figure flashed and the Sword Qi landed on the head of a Hidden Fire Sect disciple.
The Hidden Fire Hall disciple hurriedly retreated and cursed, "Who are you hitting?"
"Hmph."
The Rain Sword Sect disciple snorted coldly. He didn't care about the Hidden Fire Hall disciple at all.
He was about to continue chasing after the Thousand Thread Sect disciple, but the Hidden Fire Hall disciple was unhappy. You almost injured me by accident, but you want to run away with a cold snort?
"Die!"
The Hidden Fire Hall disciple waved his hands and flames burst out, instantly enveloping the Rain Sword Sect disciple!
The entire Imperial Army dojo was filled with such situations. Not long after, there were only five Thousand Thread Sect disciples left. However, the other four sects only had two or three people left in the dojo.
At this moment, the Thousand Thread Sect disciples finally joined forces again. They directly surrounded the remaining three Qingcheng Pavilion female disciples and forced them to admit defeat.
There were finally eleven people left in the dojo!
Five from the Thousand Thread Sect, two from the Broken Blade Sect, two from the Hidden Fire Hall, and two from the Rain Sword Sect.
There were a total of eleven people. The Thousand Thread Sect had the most people left in the dojo. They obtained five martial arrows for the Thousand Thread Sect!
This was only the first round of the mixed battle, but the Thousand Thread Sect's martial arrows were already far ahead!
The twelve martial arrows were six times more than the Broken Blade Sect, the Hidden Fire Hall, and the Rain Sword Sect. As for the Zhentian Clan, the Qingcheng Pavilion, and the Ice Sect, they didn't even get a single martial arrow.
This situation was undoubtedly out of everyone's expectations.
The Thousand Thread Sect should have been targeted by everyone, but they had the most people left. This caused the disciples, elders, and sect leaders of the other six sects to have a shadow cast over their hearts.
It seemed like their strategy in the first round was wrong!
Especially the Qingcheng Pavilion. Initially, they wanted to stay out of the battle and reap the benefits. However, they ended up the same as the Zhentian Clan and the Ice Sect. They didn't even get a single martial arrow!
This caused the Pavilion Master of the Qingcheng Pavilion, Fang Qiaoyue, to frown.
Could it be that they still had to form an alliance with someone?
Due to Chu Chaosheng's plan, Fang Qiaoyue should have formed an alliance with the Zhentian Clan to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect. However, the situation now was that the Zhentian Clan was being targeted. Forming an alliance with the Zhentian Clan might not be the right choice.
"To destroy Chu Chaosheng's plan, I just need to find a random sect that obtains more martial arrows than the Thousand Thread Sect …"
Fang Qiaoyue thought to herself. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Zhentian Clan.
Among the Zhentian Clan disciples, the strongest was at the Lv 4 True Spirit Realm, followed by Long Yu and Zhuge Jian, who were both at the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm. Although it was rumored that Long Yu could send Long Ji flying and severely injure him, Liu Yuan was there.
Without Liu Yuan, Long Yu definitely wouldn't have been able to do it. Perhaps Liu Yuan played a key role?
Fang Qiaoyue thought to herself. Overall, the Qingcheng Pavilion had two genius disciples at the Lv 4 True Spirit Realm, Liu Yuan and Bai Linsha. They had a great advantage!
If Liu Yuan and Bai Linsha worked together and stood at the end of the sixth round, they could obtain 12 martial arrows. They might be able to surpass the Thousand Thread Sect.
Moreover, the Qingcheng Pavilion had quite a number of disciples at the Lv 3 and Lv 2 True Spirit Realm. At least, they had more than the Zhentian Clan!
Fang Qiaoyue thought that it was better to trust the Qingcheng Pavilion than the Zhentian Clan.
"I'll work with the Fire Hiding Temple to protect myself first. Then, we'll deal with the Thousand Thread Sect together."
Fang Qiaoyue made up her mind.
However, it could be seen that although the Sect Masters of the various sects had ordered them to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect together, there were still all sorts of accidents at the Forbidden Army's dojo, causing them to have conflicts with each other.
They had to do their best to prevent this from happening again in the next round. Otherwise, if the Thousand Thread Sect won the next round, they would be unstoppable and the outcome would be set.
Chu Chaosheng had set the next round for two days later. Fang Qiaoyue still had plenty of time to discuss cooperation with the Hidden Fire Temple and the Broken Blade Sect.
"The first round of today's battle royale has come to an end. The martial arrows have been distributed to all the sects."
Chu Chaosheng was very satisfied with today's result. No matter what happened next, at least the Thousand Thread Sect had obtained an absolute advantage. It wasn't long before he controlled the seven sects!
"The next round of the battle royale will be in two days. Please don't miss it."
After Chu Chaosheng finished his sentence, he announced that it was time for everyone to leave.
Long Yu stood up and followed Bai Zong and the others to leave. When he raised his head, he suddenly saw a group of people walking in his direction.
"The Long family of the General Clan?"
Long Yu's heart skipped a beat.
