There was still a challenge ring below the Divine Dragon Nest, but there were not ten of them. Instead, it was a very large challenge ring, as large as ten football fields. It guaranteed that ancient martial art practitioners of any rank could go all out and fight.
The competition between sects was different from the Heaven List Tournament. It was not a competition of individual martial arts. It focused more on the overall power of the sect.
The rules were also very simple. Every sect would choose five representatives to represent the sect in battle. The combined power of the five people would be used to measure the overall power of the sect. Of course, these five people were not randomly chosen. They were divided into two age groups. Two were below 100 years old, while the remaining three were not restricted by age.
The reason for this was mainly to consider the inheritance of the sect. Some sects' older generation might be very strong, but the younger generation was not. There would be a situation where there was a gap between the younger generation and the younger generation. This would naturally affect the overall power of the sect.
Ancient martial art practitioners below 100 years old were the young members of a sect. They represented whether the sect would prosper in the future. Hence, it was stipulated that every sect had to send two young members to battle.
The battle below the ring was in full swing. The battle between the sects was also very simple. All five representatives would fight until all their opponents were defeated. If they did not, they would be defeated. A five-on-five battle was naturally very chaotic. The situation in the ring was also constantly changing. As the saying went, the courageous would win. If one defeated their opponent in one go, their chances of winning were obviously higher. If one hesitated, they would most likely be at a disadvantage.
The top eight sects would be selected today. The sects that could last until now were almost all hidden martial arts sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Among them, there were a few sects that Mo Wen had interacted with.
The Goddess Cult was the sect that Water Deity and Lin Qing were in. This sect was rather powerful. Although the sect members were all women, no one dared to underestimate them.
The Golden Buddha Sect was the sect that Wine and Meat Monk was in. They were also quite powerful.
What surprised Mo Wen was that the Blood Evil Temple was also among the sects. Their overall power was rather terrifying. Although Lord Merciless's power was very average, the power of this sect could not be underestimated.
The sects from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm were indeed not to be underestimated. Most of the participants were Infinite Powerhouses, especially the sects that could enter the top eight. Many of them were Infinite Powerhouses, even if they were younger than a hundred years old. They were the most promising group in a sect. In terms of the long-term development of a sect, they were even more valuable than those of the older generation.
"Yo, isn't this Mo Wen? You've been a coward for half a month, and you finally dare to come out and see the light? You seem to be the Sect Leader of the Dafang Sect. Tsk tsk, I've seen many Sect Leaders who have no achievements, but I've never seen a Sect Leader who ran away in the face of battle. What? Are you afraid of our Blood Fiend Palace? "
A strange voice rang out. A youth walked over. It was none other than Lord Merciless. Right now, Lord Merciless' injuries were mostly healed. However, his gaze when he looked at Mo Wen was filled with resentment.
Mo Wen frowned. He did not think that it was a coincidence that he had run into Lord Merciless. Clearly, he had attracted his attention after entering the Divine Dragon Nest, so he had deliberately walked over. Although there were many people in the Divine Dragon Nest, and it was difficult for ordinary people to find someone in such a crowd, ancient martial art practitioners with high cultivation and keen senses could easily find someone.
"Sect Leader, this person deliberately made an enemy of our Dafang Sect. During the sect tournament, it was the Blood Fiend Palace behind him that obstructed us. That was why we did not even enter the semi-finals."
Wang Yinru looked at Lord Merciless angrily. There were so many sects participating in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Although the Dafang Sect was not strong, it was not a small sect at the bottom. After all, the Dafang Sect had two Martial Arts Grandmasters, Ling Feng and Tan Qiyue. Ordinary sects in the main space most likely did not even have a few Golden Elixir Realm, let alone Martial Arts Grandmasters.
If the Hidden Martial Arts Sect from the Blood Fiend Palace had not obstructed them at every turn during the preliminaries, and in the end, the Dafang Sect would not have been unable to pass the preliminaries.
The Dafang Sect ancient martial art practitioners behind Wang Yinru also looked at Lord Merciless angrily. Clearly, during the time that Mo Wen had been away, this Lord Merciless had made things difficult for the Dafang Sect.
"Mo Wen, you are very sensible. You know that you are not a match for the Blood Fiend Palace, so you hid from the beginning."
Lord Merciless looked at Mo Wen mockingly. During the sect preliminaries, he had not seen Mo Wen and had only sent a few useless soldiers. He had subconsciously thought that Mo Wen was afraid of the Blood Fiend Palace, so he had hidden and did not dare to come out to fight. After all, the Blood Fiend Palace had also participated in this Martial Arts Circle Convention. Although Mo Wen was very strong among the younger generation, in the eyes of the Blood Fiend Palace's elders, he was naturally not worth mentioning.
It was practically a fool's dream for a small, unranked sect to want to make a difference in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Usually, the ancient martial art practitioners from the Penglai Sect did not appear, so naturally, the tigers and monkeys in the mountains were the kings. Now that the Penglai Sect had appeared, the monkeys were still monkeys.
"As the leader of a sect, you are a coward in the face of battle. Even I feel ashamed for you. How can a coward like you be worthy of being the leader of a sect? Oh, I have been looking forward to it. Your Dafang Sect is just a trash sect. Birds of a feather flock together. It is not surprising that there is a sect leader like you … "
Lord Merciless laughed coldly. He had deliberately walked over to mock Mo Wen. He had viciously vented his anger. During the List Tournament, he would get back all the humiliation he had suffered. This was just the beginning. Sooner or later, he would teach Mo Wen a lesson.
"Is that so? From the looks of it, the Blood Fiend Palace will have no problem entering the top eight, "Mo Wen said plainly.
"Humph, of course. Do you think that the Blood Fiend Palace is a small, unranked sect like the Dafang Sect that can't even pass the preliminaries? Mo Wen, you dare to offend me. Just you wait. Sooner or later, you will have to bear the consequences, "Lord Merciless said coldly, looking at Mo Wen with a dangerous gaze. Although he did not say it, he was rather fearful of Mo Wen. Mo Wen was already so terrifying at such a young age. What would he become in the future? He had to nip this danger in the bud. Otherwise, the Blood Fiend Palace would most likely not be able to suppress him in the future.
"Since that is the case, then that is good. We will see each other tomorrow. I will give you a big surprise." Mo Wen looked at Lord Merciless with a faint smile. Then, he turned and left the Divine Dragon Nest. He already knew which sects would enter the top eight. There was no need for him to stay here.
Originally, he had been hesitating about which sect to challenge tomorrow. After all, those sects had gone through rounds of elimination before entering the top eight. It was somewhat unfair for Mo Wen to come out midway. Of course, if the sect he chose was the Blood Fiend Palace, then Mo Wen would not feel any guilt.
Gu Jingman smiled playfully. She followed behind Mo Wen silently.
"What do you mean?"
Lord Merciless was slightly stunned. Give him a big surprise tomorrow? He did not believe that Mo Wen would really give him a surprise. It was most likely some scheme. Lord Merciless frowned slightly, pondering the meaning of Mo Wen's words. Then, he smiled. No matter what scheme Mo Wen had, in this world, power was everything. He might not be a match for Mo Wen, but there were many people in the Blood Fiend Palace who were more powerful than Mo Wen. He did not believe that with the protection of the Blood Fiend Palace, Mo Wen could do anything to him.
The Dafang Sect's ancient martial art practitioners, led by Wang Yinru, also coldly snorted. They got up and left the Divine Dragon Nest. Since the sect leader had left, there was no need for them to stay.
The Dafang Sect had booked the entire floor of the Qiuhua Restaurant. Right now, a large number of ancient martial art practitioners from the Dafang Sect and the Ming Palace had gathered in the meeting room of the restaurant.
Although the Dragon City Talisman was rare, it was not a difficult thing for a faction like the Ming Palace to obtain. The two sects added up to more than 30 people.
"Sect leader, have you decided to choose the Blood Fiend Palace as your opponent tomorrow? This sect's ability is rather impressive. They have a very scary old man who once defeated three Infinite Powerhouses in a sect battle, "Wang Yinru said with a worried look in her eyes.
Wang Yinru said worriedly. She knew that the sects that could enter the top eight were not to be trifled with. However, the Blood Fiend Palace was definitely not the weakest sect among the top eight. At least five sects from the Hidden Martial Arts Strain were in the hands of the Blood Fiend Palace. It was highly likely that they would enter the top four.
"The leader of the Blood Fiend Palace is called Yang Zonglin. He is a famous old man in the Peng Lai Sect. He has lived for close to 300 years and is almost at the limit of a Martial Arts Grandmaster's lifespan. This person was an Infinite Powerhouse 200 years ago and was once known as the ancient martial art practitioner in the Blood Fiend Palace who was most likely to break through to the Immortal Realm. However, it is a pity that 200 years have passed and he still has not broken through to the Immortal Realm. I reckon that he will not live for long. "
Ling Feng said plainly.
"Oh, Guardian Ling seems to know the Blood Fiend Palace very well?" A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. This Ling Feng most likely had some background. However, it made sense when he thought about it. It was difficult for even a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner to appear in the main space outside the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Moreover, this kind of exceptional figure who had cultivated to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Third Realm most likely did not have a simple background.
"Sorry for the embarrassment, Sect Leader. Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hide. Actually, I am also from the Peng Lai Sect." Ling Feng sighed softly. The expression in his eyes was somewhat complicated. It was as if the world had changed and things had remained the same, but people had changed.
Wang Yinru and the others looked at Ling Feng in shock. They did not expect this Guardian Ling, who had suddenly appeared, to have such a background. The Peng Lai Sect was undoubtedly the existence that had attracted the most attention in the martial arts circle recently.
"So Guardian Ling has such an impressive background. Then, you must know a lot about the sects of the Peng Lai Sect?" Mo Wen said plainly. He was not surprised.
"I dare not say that I know a lot, but I know a little. If the Sect Leader chooses the Blood Fiend Palace as your opponent, you must pay attention to Yang Zonglin. Although he has not broken through to the Immortal Realm, his close to 300 years of cultivation is rather frightening. It is said that he is someone who can escape unscathed even if he goes up against an ancient martial art practitioner who has become an immortal. Perhaps the Blood Fiend Palace is not considered much among the Peng Lai Sect participating in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Many sects are stronger than the Blood Fiend Palace. However, Yang Zonglin is one of the few strong practitioners below the Immortal Realm. In terms of individual combat ability, he can be ranked in the top five among all the Peng Lai Sect participating in the competition, "Ling Feng said with a serious look.
The Blood Fiend Palace was not considered much in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. The sect's ability was far inferior to the Goddess Cult and the Golden Buddha Sect. However, Yang Zonglin was a rare strong practitioner below the Immortal Realm. In a situation where the Immortal Realm did not participate, it was almost impossible for him to meet a worthy opponent.
