Inside the great hall.
Jiang Xie and the Ning brothers sat in the lower positions, brows tightly furrowed, the atmosphere slightly solemn.
Jun Changxiao sat in the upper position, one hand supporting his face, the other rhythmically tapping on the table.
“Hmph.”
After a moment, he sneered: “This seat merely changed the sect name, and so many forces find it displeasing?”
Li Luoqiu said: “Sect Master, our name is too ostentatious. Being targeted is inevitable.”
Intelligence just came that five fourth-rate sects from neighboring Western Essence Province were currently heading to Qingyang Commandery. Their purpose—to meet with the Eternal Myriad Sect.
In Southwestern Yang Province, although many forces disliked this new name.
However, Jun Changxiao had the backing of the Certification Hall and Heavenly Precept Academy, so no one dared say anything.
Outside forces didn’t agree.
A sect that had just been promoted—what qualifications did it have to name itself ‘Eternal Myriad,’ and who gave it such audacity!
Unacceptable, unacceptable.
They must go meet with them.
The Western Essence Province sect forces weren’t brainless villains either. Knowing the Eternal Myriad Sect was evaluated as third-tier potential, it definitely had exceptional qualities. So they united to travel to Qingyang Commandery to discuss martial arts.
Jiang Xie said: “Sect Master, Western Essence Province has always considered itself righteous and has long disdained the remote Southwestern Yang Province. These five fourth-rate sects coming this time probably aren’t simply coming to cause trouble for our Eternal Myriad Sect.”
The western part of Star Meteor Continent was very vast.
With True West as the main area, Northwest above and Southwest below, a total of three major provinces.
Western Essence Province had the best geographical location. Its heaven and earth properties and resources were also exceptionally abundant, making its strength undoubtedly the strongest.
Therefore, the forces and families here all had a natural sense of superiority, completely looking down on the Southwest and Northwest provinces.
Jun Changxiao said: “You mean they’re coming to our Eternal Myriad Sect but are actually looking for trouble with Southwestern Yang Province?”
“Correct.” Jiang Xie said.
Jun Changxiao said: “If they’re looking for trouble, they should go to Heavenly Precept Royal City. Coming to my Eternal Myriad Sect—do they think this seat is easy to bully?”
“The Sect Master changing the sect name to Eternal Myriad Sect gave them this opportunity.” Jiang Xie said.
“Fine.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This seat will let these fourth-rate sects know that in Southwestern Yang Province, you can provoke anyone, except my Eternal Myriad Sect!”
……
Various commanderies and cities in Southwestern Yang Province successively received news that Western Essence Province’s five fourth-rate sects were dispatching experts to Qingyang Commandery.
“I said it—once the Eternal Myriad Sect name spreads outside, it will definitely attract trouble. Look, look—isn’t this accurate!”
“Western Essence Province has long found our Southwestern Yang Province displeasing. This time is just making an issue out of nothing.”
“Fortunately, it’s only fourth-rate sects. If second or third-rate sects were alarmed, it would probably be even trickier.”
“The Eternal Myriad Sect has been quite arrogant lately. Getting taught a lesson wouldn’t be bad.”
“According to Western Essence Province sects’ travel route, they’ll reach Qingyang Commandery in about five days. We can head over early to watch the excitement.”
For a time, martial artists from various commanderies in Southwestern Yang Province flooded into Qingyang Commandery.
The Certification Hall also received the news. Yi Tianxing shook his head: “What should come has still come!”
When he decided to publicize the Eternal Myriad Sect name, he anticipated that one day, forces from other provinces would come looking for trouble.
“Hall Master.”
Elder Zhou said: “In my view, this is probably the Western Essence Province Certification Hall deliberately probing our Southwestern Yang Province’s third-tier potential emerging sect.”
Elder Zhen had a more impatient temperament and said: “Hmph, this is typical of not being able to stand seeing others do well!”
Yi Tianxing said: “How many people did Western Essence Province send?”
“Two Wuhuang, ten Wuwang, thousands of disciples, all at Wuzong level strength.” Elder Zhou said.
“Quite a formation.”
Yi Tianxing frowned: “Western Essence Province wants to use the Eternal Myriad Sect to humiliate Southwestern Yang Province.”
“Hall Master.”
Elder Zhou said: “The Young City Lord of Soaring Ascent Royal City is also coming along.”
“Oh?”
Yi Tianxing stroked his chin: “This matter may not be manipulated by the Western Essence Province Certification Hall, but rather the Royal City demonstrating power to Heavenly Precept Royal City.”
……
“Red Lotus.”
In the academy building, Situ Haoyun said: “Western Essence Province sending five fourth-rate sects to challenge the Eternal Myriad Sect this time is probably a show of force.”
Princess Red Lotus said: “Father once told me that Soaring Ascent Royal City wouldn’t remain quiet for long.”
“The Young City Lord is also coming. As a Heavenly Precept Royal City princess, you should go to the Eternal Myriad Sect to meet him, lest others seize upon this.” Situ Haoyun said.
“Yes.”
Princess Red Lotus said: “This student will go now.”
After she left, Situ Haoyun raised his head to look at the sky, murmuring: “Young fellow, since you changed the sect name, you must be prepared to welcome all troubles.”
Jun Changxiao was already prepared.
At this moment, he not only learned the strength of the sects coming to battle, but also triggered a side quest. The content was—defeat the five fourth-rate sects from Western Essence Province coming to challenge [Elite Quest].
Sect Master Jun, who was originally somewhat displeased, now bloomed with joy. After all, he was worried about having no quests, and immediately someone came to deliver!
Two Wuhuang?
Sorry, my two contracted beasts are enough to completely crush you.
Ten Wuwang?
Come at me together—this seat will fight ten of you alone!
As for those Wuzong, my Eternal Myriad Sect disciples can stand in a row for you to choose. If I don’t beat you until flowers bloom everywhere, you won’t know why flowers are so red!
“Sect Master!”
Li Qingyang said: “Elder Ma from Azure Mountain Sect has come to see you!”
“Invite him in!” Jun Changxiao said.
Ma Yunteng rushed hurriedly into the great hall: “Sect Master Jun, Western Essence Province sent two Wuhuang and ten Wuwang. This trouble is quite big.”
Azure Mountain Sect had also received the news. Sending him this time also meant to assist.
Jun Changxiao said proudly: “As long as it’s not third-rate sects, even if ten fourth-rate sects come together, my Eternal Myriad Sect won’t cower.”
“……”
Ma Yunteng’s mouth twitched.
Every time he saw Jun Changxiao, he gave him an increasingly powerful feeling, but that arrogance and wildness was also becoming stronger!
Sect Master Jun’s arrogance and wildness stemmed from his increasingly solid foundation. If he became even stronger yet still acted like a submissive grandson all day, that would really be too pathetic.
……
Over the following days.
Martial cultivators and forces from various commanderies in Southwestern Yang Province gathered at the base of Iron Bone Mountain. They couldn’t enter the mountain gate because movement restrictions had been imposed.
Xie Guangkun, Ai Shangni and others could freely enter and exit, after all, their relationship with the Eternal Myriad Sect was very solid.
Qin Haoran and people from the Hundred Sects Alliance also came.
However, compared to the forces from various commanderies in Southwestern Yang Province, they were as inconspicuous as ants.
At this moment.
Alliance Leader Qin and the alliance leaders had become very low-key, and their hatred toward Jun Changxiao was long gone.
When someone is very wealthy, others will despise them and gossip behind their backs.
When someone possesses hundreds of millions in assets, they’ll obediently shut their mouths, because it’s already beyond the level they can discuss.
The current Eternal Myriad Sect, in Alliance Leader Qin and the alliance leaders’ eyes, was an unreachably towering behemoth. Naturally, they no longer had the courage to confront it.
Of course.
Jun Changxiao had long forgotten this enemy force, because they could no longer pose any threat. In the future, he would face even greater challenges.
……
The life-and-death arena at the mountain’s base hadn’t been dismantled.
On the fifth day.
Jun Changxiao sat on top, legs crossed, quietly waiting for the guests who’d traveled thousands of miles to come.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others stood below the platform with heads held high.
This formation seemed familiar.
Previously, when evil faction forces from Huayang Commandery came to battle at the Massacre God Hall branch’s instigation, Sect Master Jun had set up the arena just like this for an honorable fight.
To this day.
Huayang Commandery had been swallowed by True Yang Commandery, and the former Iron Bone Sect had become the Eternal Myriad Sect.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Princess Red Lotus, who had arrived yesterday, sat in a side position and asked: “Western Essence Province has come prepared this time. Does your sect have confidence of victory?”
“Yes.”
“How much?”
“Ten out of ten.”
Jun Changxiao spoke very resolutely. This made Princess Red Lotus silent, thinking: “Hopefully so.”
“They’re here! They’re here!” someone shouted loudly.
Jun Changxiao’s spiritual sense spread out.
He saw on the distant path, two Wuhuang with thick auras leading thousands of martial artists marching forward in great momentum.
Their martial path cultivation erupted, shocking the Southwestern Yang Province martial cultivators’ expressions.
Before the people arrived, their aura did—this was a show of force!
Jun Changxiao flicked his hard black hair and declared loudly: “All disciples listen to orders—fully release your auras and warmly welcome our friends from afar!”
