When they previously went to Sacred Spring Sect, Jun Changxiao brought quite a few people. Now going to challenge Lily Saint Sect was even more comprehensive, because not only were there disciples, but also elders and hall masters.

The elders were Jiang Xie, the Ning brothers, and Elder Ge.

The hall master was Zhen Dejun.

The Five Absolutes Evil Saint and Extreme Cold Palace Grand Elder also went along.

Though these two hadn’t joined the sect, Jun Changxiao controlled their soul essence, making them servants he could manipulate at will.

Li Luoqiu and Elder Wei didn’t go, remaining behind to manage daily sect affairs.

Jun Changxiao took challenging Lily Saint Sect very seriously.

Because as long as they won, Eternal Sect could prove to the world that they had absolute strength to establish themselves on the continent!

However.

Just as they descended Iron Bone Mountain, they saw a dark mass of people emerging from the distant forest.

Leading them was Xie Guangkun.

Following him were the family heads from Qingyang City, along with many martial artists and ordinary common folk, even toddlers just learning to speak.

Lily Saint Sect was far away. As city lord, Xie Guangkun didn’t have time to make the journey.

Moreover, a second-rate sect like that might not even let him enter, so this visit was solely to see Jun Changxiao off.

Family Head Ai from Huyang City, along with family heads from seven other cities, also brought their people.

“Sect Master Jun!”

Xie Guangkun stopped, cupping his fists: “We cannot accompany you, but we wish Eternal Sect to be invincible and victorious in every battle!”

“Invincible!”

“Victorious in every battle!”

Qingyang City’s citizens shouted in unison.

Xie Guangkun hadn’t notified them—they all came voluntarily to see off this sect that had once protected their city and saved them from slavery!

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the foot of Iron Bone Mountain, shouting in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

Externally.

Many martial forces might not acknowledge Eternal Sect.

But in Qingyang Commandery, this sect was already viewed as a martial dao sacred land!

“Son!”

Family Head Li said, “Don’t disgrace Eternal Sect!”

Looking at his father whose temples had gradually grayed, Li Qingyang swore in his heart: “Father, rest assured. Your son will defend the sect with everything!”

Old Master Song was also encouraging Song Xuanzhou.

In that moment, all parents whose children belonged to Eternal Sect felt immense pride!

So many local Qingyang Commandery people came to support them, to support Eternal Sect—this filled Jun Changxiao’s heart with growing warmth.

Having your support is enough.

“Everyone!”

Jun Changxiao proclaimed loudly: “Await Eternal Sect’s triumphant return!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Jun Changxiao led his disciples in a mighty procession eastward. Even after traveling far, they could still faintly hear shouts from behind: “Eternal Sect invincible, victorious in every battle!”

These words seemed to contain some kind of power, stimulating the disciples’ blood, making their battle intent grow even stronger!

Lily Saint Sect, let’s fight to our heart’s content!

……

Eastern Hao Province, Lily Saint Sect.

At this very moment, various martial artists were advancing along the road to the main peak, including the nine major fourth-rate sects from Northeast Lu Province.

Other provincial forces saw them and showed surprise.

Martial artists from Northeast Lu Province mainly cultivated ice-element techniques and rarely ventured into provinces with distinct seasons. Why had so many come today?

“Some time ago, Jun Changxiao brought disciples and nearly destroyed Extreme Cold Palace, essentially making enemies with Northeast Lu Province. These nine interconnected sects coming to Lily Saint Sect probably want to watch that guy make a fool of himself.”

“Makes sense!”

Everyone agreed.

“This suddenly risen sect has incredible guts—not only daring to bring people to attack Northeast Lu Province, but even daring to challenge the second-rate Lily Saint Sect.”

“I heard Jun Changxiao isn’t very old, only about twenty. Young people tend to be hot-blooded and do some incomprehensible things—that’s normal.”

“If not for this hothead, how would we have the fortune to witness so many major sect forces.”

On the road to Lily Saint Sect, various martial cultivators chatted. From their words, it wasn’t hard to tell that their main purpose in coming this far was to broaden their horizons.

Eternal Sect’s challenge?

Sorry, it was simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—overestimating their own abilities!

“Awooo!”

“Awooo!”

Just then, a series of wolf howls came from the mountain’s base, causing everyone to turn and look!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Magnificent wolf beasts, each carrying a heroic-looking martial cultivator, bounded up the mountain path.

“Gale Wolves?”

Various martial artists’ eyes immediately showed surprise.

“Not Gale Wolves.”

A martial artist well-versed in fierce beasts frowned: “They’re Hurricane Wolves!”

Hurricane Wolves?

The surprise in everyone’s eyes grew denser.

Those were high-level wolf beasts. Being able to tame one as a mount was already impressive—now there were so many people riding them. The shock was self-evident!

“It’s people from Eternal Sect!”

“Right, they rode wolf beasts when they attacked Northeast Lu Province back then!”

“Tsk tsk, to tame so many Hurricane Wolves—this newly risen sect has some skills.”

Caw—

Suddenly, a crane’s cry came from above.

A strong icy cold aura instantly spread, making everyone involuntarily shiver.

They all looked up to see a white crane flapping its wings flying over.

“Ice Radiance Immortal Crane!”

“That’s an extremely rare bird from Northeast Lu Province!”

Everyone’s mouths gaped open.

The Ice Radiance Immortal Crane’s strength wasn’t particularly impressive, but because it could carry people in flight, it was essential for travel, making many powerhouses covet it.

Unfortunately, because they were so rare, throughout history very few could tame them.

“There’s someone on it!”

Many martial artists saw Lu Qianqian standing on the crane’s back, staring wide-eyed.

That woman in white robes was absolutely beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven!

“So beautiful!”

“Could she be a Lily Saint Sect disciple?”

“She’s emanating cold aura—perhaps she’s an ice-element martial cultivator from Northeast Lu Province!”

Everyone speculated.

But no matter how they thought, they couldn’t recall such a young, beautiful woman from Northeast Lu Province.

Just then, many martial artists noticed the Extreme Cold Palace and other Northeast Lu Province forces ahead, their eyes showing reverence, so they all guessed that woman might be a highly distinguished powerhouse from Northeast Lu Province!

Caw—

Suddenly, another eagle beast’s cry rang out.

Jun Changxiao stood on the Demon Ridge Black Eagle’s back, soaring through the sky.

One white, one black, one ahead, one behind—astounding all the martial cultivators!

“Jun Changxiao!”

Someone recognized him and exclaimed.

“No way!” A powerhouse’s mouth twitched: “This guy also tamed a flying bird fierce beast?”

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Li Qingyang and others rode Hurricane Wolves, racing past them, immediately stirring up gusts of wind that blew everyone’s clothes and hair wildly.

Before long.

Several hundred disciples arrived before Lily Saint Sect’s mountain gate, forming neat ranks.

“Hmph, so what if they have Hurricane Wolves?”

“Soon after they enter, compared to a second-rate sect, they’ll definitely be brutally crushed.”

Various martial artists sneered one after another.

Wasn’t it just jealousy that Eternal Sect disciples had Hurricane Wolves and they didn’t?

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

The Demon Ridge Black Eagle slowly descended, hovering before the mountain gate.

Jun Changxiao proclaimed loudly: “This seat brings disciples to keep the three-year agreement!”
