When Xiao Fan left the Millennium Monument and arrived at the Dragon Tiger Arena, the second change had already begun. The geniuses of the various sects all leapt onto the arena and fought fiercely with each other, fighting over the fortuitous encounters.
The elders of the various sects stood below the arena with their hands behind their backs, guarding it firmly. Countless people were crowding around them, bustling with activity. The atmosphere was even more intense than the Millennium Monument.
As the change had already begun, those who did not get on the arena in time would not be able to get on the arena again. If they forcefully got on the arena, it would definitely lead to a powerful counterattack, so Xiao Fan did not do anything. Instead, he brought Akira Yuki and Xing Qing to the Quiet Night Pavilion, which was not far away to the north of the arena.
The Quiet Night Pavilion just so happened to be at the junction where the various sects had joined forces to seal off the Dragon Tiger Arena and the rogue cultivator crowd. One step forward was the Dragon Tiger Arena blockade of the various sects, and one step backward was the black mass of rogue cultivators watching the crowd.
As the Quiet Night Pavilion was very close to the Dragon Tiger Arena, it could be said to be the best place to rest while waiting for the change. It was not that the various sects had not thought of monopolizing the Quiet Night Pavilion. They had set a rule that apart from the people of the various sects, no one else was allowed to enter.
Unfortunately, the background of the Quiet Night Pavilion was not simple. Even the various sects did not want to directly clash with the Quiet Night Pavilion, so after a discussion, the seats in the Quiet Night Pavilion were split into east and west.
The east side was where the members of the various large sects rested, and the west side was for rogue cultivators who could enter the Quiet Night Pavilion as long as they were willing to pay. Although everyone was like fire and water, they got along peacefully in the Quiet Night Pavilion.
At this moment, when Xiao Fan entered the Quiet Night Pavilion, there were basically only rogue cultivators in the Quiet Night Pavilion. The people from the various sects were almost nowhere to be seen, because they had all gone to participate in the second change of the Dragon Tiger Stage.
Once the second change of the Dragon Tiger Arena ended, their disciples and main elders would return to the Quiet Night Pavilion, where they would continue to wait for the next change of the Dragon Tiger Arena to begin.
After entering the Quiet Night Pavilion, they found a seat by the window that was surrounded by a powerful array formation. This made it so that others could not easily see or probe them. There was a large amount of private space. Xiao Fan sat down with Akira Yuki and Xing Qing.
Of course, the price of this seat was extremely shocking. Not to mention how few rogue cultivators could afford it, even the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of large sects couldn't help but hesitate when faced with this price.
One must know that the Quiet Night Pavilion was famous for being shady!
After ordering three pots of good wine, five to six dishes, three pots of hot tea, and throwing out a large sum of money that would make even the Elders of the various sects flee, Xiao Fan and the other two finally settled down. They drank and ate while waiting for the next change in the Dragon Tiger Arena.
Every change of the Dragon Tiger Arena lasted for quite a while, lasting at least an hour. This was only the beginning, and there was still some time before it ended. As a result, Xiao Fan took out the Millennium Stele and played around with it in his hands.
Xiao Fan had already successfully shrunk the Millennium Stele. It was only the size of a palm, and it was greenish-black. It looked exceptionally exquisite and mysterious, like a perfect piece of art.
As for the Millennium Stele that remained in place, to be more precise, it was only a layer of stone that had formed after countless years of being exposed to the elements.
However, the Millennium Stele was an important component of the Bronze Immortal Hall after all. Even if it was only a layer of stone, who knew how many years it had been on the Millennium Stele. After being slowly corroded by the Millennium Stele for countless years, it was no longer an ordinary layer of stone.
Although the people of the various sects below the Millennium Stele felt that something was off, they still could not make out any clues. They still believed that it was the real Millennium Stele, which was quite normal.
"Can I take a look at it?" Xing Qing's eyes were filled with passion. Looking at the Millennium Stele in Xiao Fan's hands, she could not help but ask.
"No!" Xiao Fan rejected her without any hesitation.
"Stingy, stingy, miser, stingy …!" Xing Qing was immediately infuriated. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Fan and muttered under her breath.
"Do you think I don't know what your Kunpeng Clan is like?" Xiao Fan glanced at Xing Qing and said, "Even if I give it to you, I don't think you'll dare to swallow it. However, if I don't give it to you, what can you do about it?"
"Hehe!" Xing Qing used two simple words to express all her emotions.
"Alright, stop thinking about the Millennium Stele. You should be more prepared to be ridden by me!" Xiao Fan waved his hand, indicating for Xing Qing to do her own things and stop thinking about the Millennium Stele.
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xing Qing's face suddenly revealed a panicked expression. Her proud body once again shrunk into a frightened quail. She sat there, not daring to move at all.
Ignoring Xing Qing, Xiao Fan continued to study the Millennium Stele. Although he had confirmed that the Millennium Stele was one of the important components of the Green Bronze Immortal Palace, he still did not know what the Millennium Stele was used for in the Green Bronze Immortal Palace. Therefore, studying and studying the Millennium Stele was not something that could be completed in a short period of time.
After Xiao Fan pondered for a short while, the originally quiet Quiet Night Pavilion suddenly became somewhat bustling again. It was the sects that had failed to compete for the second mutation of the Dragon Tiger Arena. They had already returned.
However, the group of people from the Ironwood Sect that Xiao Fan had met before was also among them. Zuo Leng, the Chosen of the Ironwood Sect, Tie Chen, a group of Ironwood Sect prodigies, and a few elders of the Ironwood Sect were among them.
Because there was a formation around Xiao Fan's seat, the people from the Ironwood Sect did not see Xiao Fan. They only sat down in the seats that belonged to the Ironwood Sect not far from Xiao Fan's seat.
After sitting down, everyone from the Ironwood Sect had gloomy expressions. None of them said a word, and their faces were filled with defeat.
The Ironwood Sect and the other sects were the first to return, which meant that they were the first to be eliminated. Such an outcome could be said to be a heavy blow to the Ironwood Sect. It was natural for them to have ugly expressions.
Moreover, the Dragon Tiger Arena was not like the Millennium Stele. There was no limit to the number of times one could compete for the mutation of the Dragon Tiger Arena. If they failed the first time, they could try a second time. If they failed the second time, they could try a third time, a fourth time, a fifth time … until they succeeded or the mutation of the Millennium Stele ended.
Everyone only had two chances in the Dragon Tiger Arena. If they failed the first time, they would have lost half of their hope. If they failed the second time, their trip to the Heavenly Clouds Mansion would have been completely wasted.
Now, the Ironwood Sect had already lost one chance. Even if they still had one more chance, they had already failed the first time. Their confidence had been severely damaged, and their chances of a second time were probably not high.
Therefore, it could be said that the great opportunity of the Dragon Tiger Arena this time was most likely a feast for the rise of other sects. It had nothing to do with the Ironwood Sect.
An indescribable and suffocating atmosphere spread through the hearts of everyone from the Ironwood Sect, causing them to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers, don't give up. We still have a chance. When the next mutation of the Dragon Tiger Arena occurs, we will definitely be able to seize the opportunity and transform from a carp into a dragon!" The Saintess of the Ironwood Sect suddenly spoke as if she was encouraging everyone.
However, although she spoke, her voice was filled with bitterness. It was obvious that she lacked confidence in her words.
"Yes, we still have one more chance. However, this failure has made me realize how big the gap is between me and the heaven's prides from the other sects. Even if I go up the arena again, I have no confidence that I can compete with the other heaven's prides from the other sects!" One of the heaven's prides from the Ironwood Sect finally spoke. However, his voice was filled with despair as he spoke with difficulty.
"We are really too weak!" Another heaven's prides from the Ironwood Sect also spoke. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. His voice was filled with desolation.
The other heaven's prides from the Ironwood Sect did not speak. However, their silence meant that the situation was even worse. They had been defeated by the other heaven's prides to the point that they could not even speak.
"Our Ironwood Sect …!" The elders from the Ironwood Sect could not say anything at this moment. Only deep disappointment and helplessness could be seen on their faces.
The Ironwood Sect was actually not weak. Strictly speaking, the Ironwood Sect was not inferior to the powerful sects like the Hall of Thousand Beasts, Green Ink Mountain, Jade Void Sect, Fire Cloud Sect and Canglan Family. There was only a fine line between the two.
However, it was a pity that the new generation had replaced the old. The glory of the Ironwood Sect was finally over. Its current generation was really too weak. The only ones that could be brought out were the Ironwood Sect disciples that Xiao Fan had seen on the Divine Boat.
Even the most outstanding Ironwood Sect's Saintess, Tie Chen, and Saintess were stronger than the Thousand Spirit Saint trio. However, they were weaker than the Hall of Thousand Beasts' Saintess.
Furthermore, the heaven's prides from the other sects that had gathered at the Dragon Tiger Arena were superior to the Millennium Monument in terms of both quantity and quality. Therefore, it was only natural that all the heaven's prides from the Ironwood Sect would be eliminated and placed at the bottom.
"What exactly went wrong that caused the younger generation of our Ironwood Sect to become like this?" The thirteenth elder of the Iron Wood Sect, who had allowed Xiao Fan to board the boat and later spoke up for Xiao Fan to stop Tie Chen from questioning Xiao Fan, sighed deeply as he spoke with a wrinkled face full of vicissitudes.
