Cultivators were much more efficient than ordinary people.
In just half a day, a high platform had been built in the wide martial field of Overlooking Mountain Courtyard. Decorations were also carried out all around, making it look like a grand venue.
Although the layout of the venue was simple, it gave off a grand feeling.
At the front of the venue, a large red curtain was opened, as if covering the sky. Above it were four large golden words — Disciple Acceptance Ceremony!
These four words constantly exuded a majestic and majestic aura, like an invisible mountain. They were written by the Marquis of Overlooking Mountain.
In addition to being a pseudo Transcendent Realm master, the Marquis of Overlooking Mountain was also a calligraphy master.
At the entrance of Overlooking Mountain Courtyard, neatly dressed young men and women were lined up on both sides to welcome the guests.
Since the Marquis of Overlooking Mountain was accepting a disciple, all the influential people of Overlooking Mountain County had come to give face.
Those who were a little further away had already entered Overlooking Mountain City a day in advance, waiting for the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony to begin.
There were many people gathered outside Overlooking Mountain Courtyard, most of them here to watch. Not long after, someone walked out of the crowd and strode towards the entrance of Overlooking Mountain Courtyard.
After reporting their identity, they passed through the reception door and entered Overlooking Mountain Courtyard.
"That's the Yang Family's Patriarch."
"That's right, it's the Yang Family's Patriarch and the Wang Family's Patriarch."
The Yang Family and the Wang Family were all forces of Overlooking Mountain City. Although they weren't weak, they couldn't compare to the Marquis of Overlooking Mountain. Since the Marquis of Overlooking Mountain's Disciple Acceptance Ceremony was so close, they had to come early. Otherwise, if they were targeted, it wouldn't be a good thing.
The various forces of Overlooking Mountain City arrived one after another, and Zhuge Men of the Giant Gate Carriage Company was no exception. When they entered Overlooking Mountain Courtyard, Zhuge Men's face was filled with emotion.
That day, he had tried to recruit Chen Zong into the Giant Gate Carriage Company to repay a favor. Now that he thought about it, he felt a little ashamed, but more than that, he was shocked.
If the Marquis of Overlooking Mountain accepted him as a disciple, his future achievements would surpass his by countless times.
In Overlooking Mountain City, there were several dozen forces that were considered top forces, and even more that weren't.
Of course, unranked forces were not qualified to participate in this ceremony, even though they wanted to.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. A group of people wearing robes of various colors and carrying long sabers walked over. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man. His face was filled with determination, and he gave people a strong feeling of power. He walked like a dragon or a tiger, and he walked like the wind, as if there was a boundless sharpness contained within.
Behind the middle-aged man, there were a few old men who also carried long sabers on their backs. Their backs were straight, and their gazes were as sharp as blades.
Then, there was a group of young people in silver robes. There were both men and women, and they looked very neat.
"They … they … seem to be from the Silver Saber Castle …"
"That's right, they are from the Silver Saber Castle."
"Could it be that the leader of the Silver Saber Castle is the Castle Lord?"
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
The Silver Saber Castle's Fort Lord, although not as powerful as the Marquis of Mountain Facing, was still a famous figure in Mountain Facing County. Together with the Proud Sword Villa's Manor Lord, they were known as the strongest True Martial Realm masters in Mountain Facing County. Of course, Pseudo Transcendents also belonged to the True Martial Realm, but there was a clear distinction between them.
It could be said that in Mountain Facing County, the Silver Saber Castle's Fort Lord's prestige was very high.
"Why do I feel that they have come with ill intentions?" Someone in the crowd whispered.
Regardless, the news that the Silver Saber Castle's Fort Lord had come with a few elders and a group of disciples was immediately spread to many people, and they were all very excited.
"Fort Lord Situ …"
After the Silver Saber Castle's Fort Lord walked into the Mountain Facing Courtyard's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, many people stood up to greet him. They were all forces that were not as strong as the Silver Saber Castle, and even if they were not on good terms with the Silver Saber Castle, they still could not offend them.
Facing everyone's greetings, Situ Zhan only nodded his head in response. However, no one was angry, as they felt that he was being rude. There was no other way, as strength and status determined everything.
The Silver Saber Castle was one of the three great forces in Mountain Facing County. Situ Zhan was the strongest True Martial Realm master, and he was also the Fort Lord of the Silver Saber Castle.
The Marquis of Mountain Facing County had not appeared yet, and neither had Chen Zong, but they had arranged for people from the Marquis' Mansion to be in charge of receiving them.
The Silver Saber Castle's Fort Lord, Situ Zhan, had his own seat, which was above most of the seats.
Not long after, another group of people appeared outside. The leader was also a middle-aged man, but he had a long sword on his back. Following him were a few elders and some young people with long swords on their backs.
"It's the Proud Sword Villa's people."
"I see them."
"The Proud Sword Villa's people are also here. That must be the Proud Sword Villa's Fort Lord."
"What a sharp gaze, I feel like I have been pierced by a sword."
Everyone was extremely excited.
The Proud Sword Villa's people also walked into the venue, and many people's gazes landed on them.
"Fort Lord Situ, long time no see." The Proud Sword Villa's Fort Lord's gaze swept across the crowd, and landed on the Silver Saber Castle's Fort Lord, Situ Zhan's face. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and it was as if a sharp sword had been unsheathed.
"Fort Lord Duan, I trust you have been well since we last met." Situ Zhan's gaze was as if a long saber had been unsheathed, and it shot towards Fort Lord Duan.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and it was as if their surroundings were filled with saber light and sword shadows. It was so cold that they could not sit still. Especially when the gazes of the two True Martial Layer experts clashed, it seemed as if there were sabers and swords clashing. An invisible sharp light flashed past them, and it was as if they were being cut by sabers and swords.
The Silver Saber Castle and the Proud Sword Villa were not mortal enemies, but they had been rivals for a long time.
The battle between sabers and swords had never stopped.
Especially before the Mountain Facing Courtyard was built, there were only two powerful forces in the entire Mountain Facing County, and they were the Silver Saber Castle and the Proud Sword Villa. The competition between them was even more intense.
For example, when Situ Zhan was young, he had fought with Duan Zhi Xing many times. They were old rivals, and after many years, they were evenly matched. In the past, whenever they saw each other, they would pull out their sabers and swords. However, after becoming the Fort Lord and Fort Lord, the two of them paid more attention to the occasion, and their statuses were different.
Although they would not pull out their sabers and swords like in the past, the exchange of words and glances was inevitable.
Fortunately, they also knew where they were. Therefore, after a brief exchange, they retracted their gazes. Duan Zhi Xing acted as if nothing had happened, and sat down on a seat parallel to Situ Zhan. He had a smile on his face, and nodded in response to the greetings of the other forces. Immediately, everyone felt flattered. His attitude was much better than Situ Zhan's.
"Putting on an act." Situ Zhan was secretly disdainful.
"This Marquis' Disciple Acceptance Ceremony, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling." A majestic voice sounded. The main character had arrived.
The Marquis of Lin Shan, Yan Wei, Guan Yunxi, and Chen Zong strode over.
"Greetings to the Marquis."
"It is our honor to attend the Marquis' Disciple Acceptance Ceremony."
"That's right, that's right."
"You should know that many people want to attend, but don't have the honor."
One by one, the leaders of the forces hurriedly stood up and complimented him.
Even the Lord of the Silver Saber Fort, Situ Zhan, and the Lord of the Proud Sword Villa, Duan Zhi Xing, stood up. However, they did not offer any compliments. Instead, they bowed to the Marquis of Lin Shan.
Regardless of status or strength, they had to bow to him.
"Everyone, please be at ease." The Marquis of Lin Shan chuckled. He was in a good mood.
Everyone's gaze swept over and finally landed on Chen Zong's face. It was as if they wanted to see through Chen Zong.
They could guess that this person should be the disciple that the Marquis of Lin Shan wanted to take as his disciple.
Situ Zhan and Duan Zhi Xing stared at Chen Zong. Their gazes were as sharp as swords, as if they wanted to see through Chen Zong. Of course, in front of the Marquis of Lin Shan, they did not dare to go too far. They just watched.
They had already heard about the gathering from their disciples, and they were further aware of Chen Zong's terrifying potential.
In the future, it would not be a problem for him to be ranked on the Jiao Dragon List. If he became a warrior of the Real Martial Arts Realm, he would become a powerful figure among the Real Martial Arts Realm warriors.
Whether it was Situ Zhan or Duan Zhi Xing, their limit when they were in the Qi Refining Realm was the three-star limit.
Both of them could not help but feel bitter in their hearts.
They had been suppressed by the Marquis of Lin Shan. Now, was the disciple of the Marquis of Lin Shan going to suppress their disciples as well?
The disciples of the Silver Saber Castle stared at Chen Zong with hatred, while the disciples of the Aojian Villa were curious and eager to fight.
Chen Zong was not afraid of everyone's gazes. He looked straight at them. When he saw Zhuge Men, he immediately smiled and bowed. "Senior Zhuge."
"No need for formalities, no need for formalities." The Zhuge Men's faces were flushed red, and they were grinning from ear to ear. They were so proud. He was still wondering if Chen Zongfei would pretend not to know him after his meteoric rise. Now, it seemed that he had worried too much. Chen Zongfei was a person who understood kindness. He felt that the specially-recruited token was not wasted.
The leaders of the other forces looked at Zhuge Men with envy. They all secretly thought that perhaps they should establish a better relationship with Zhuge Men.
After all, the disciple of the Marquis of Lin Shan had a different identity. Moreover, it seemed that the Marquis of Lin Shan had a friendly relationship with Zhuge Men.
As leaders of forces, they were not hotheads. It was enough to have cultivation and strength. They also needed to consider other aspects. Otherwise, their forces would have been swallowed up by others long ago.
The main seat in the venue was naturally the seat of the Marquis of Lin Shan. Chen Zong, Yan Wei, and Chen Zong were arranged to sit on either side of the Marquis of Lin Shan.
When the Marquis of Lin Shan sat down, all the voices fell silent. They all knew that the disciple recruitment ceremony was about to begin.
"Worship the heavens!" The Marquis of Lin Shan's voice was as powerful as thunder. Everyone looked solemn.
The ground shook slightly. The sound of orderly footsteps could be heard. Dust flew up. From a corner of the courtyard, a group of armored soldiers were carrying a huge figure.
"What demonic beast is that?"
"It looks like a Black Saber Tiger Dragon!"
"What, a Black Saber Tiger Dragon!"
Everyone was shocked. Even Situ Zhan and Duan Zhixing were the same.
The Black Saber Tiger Dragon was an extremely terrifying demonic beast. It belonged to the Lv 9 True Martial Realm. Most Lv 9 True Martial Realm martial artists were not its match. Although Situ Zhan and Duan Zhixing were confident that they could kill it, killing it and capturing it alive were two different concepts.
