With disciples below and the Sect Master riding the Demon Ridge Black Eagle above, they had surrounded Lily Saint Sect’s mountain gate.
If people didn’t know beforehand what Eternal Sect was here to do, many martial artists would think they’d come to cause trouble!
“How arrogant!”
A powerhouse from another province said in a low voice.
Lily Saint Sect was, after all, a renowned second-rate sect. That guy bringing disciples riding wolf beasts and eagle beasts—not a shred of courtesy!
It wasn’t about lacking courtesy.
Rather, Jun Changxiao knew that if he came low-key, he’d inevitably be mocked, so why not just come as high-profile as possible and make everyone shut their mouths.
The effect was good.
The Hurricane Wolf pack shocked all the forces, and the flying bird fierce beasts made them jealous with envy and hatred.
People who wanted to mock him had to first consider whether they were qualified.
Wait!
That woman riding the white crane like a fairy—why did she stop near Jun Changxiao?
Could she not be a Northeast Lu Province powerhouse, but an Eternal Sect disciple?
Jun Changxiao also at this moment made eye contact with the Extreme Cold Palace Master and others who had just arrived at the mountain gate.
“Oh? You all came too?”
“…”
The nine sect masters remained silent.
You think we wanted to come? Isn’t it because of your disciple!
“Sigh.”
The Extreme Cold Palace Grand Elder sighed.
Coming out of seclusion from the Boundless Ice Sea, he originally thought he could avenge the sect, but who would have thought he’d not only be beaten up but also have his soul essence controlled, becoming a prisoner.
“Sect Master.”
Lu Qianqian transmitted: “These people were summoned by me to cheer for the sect.”
Jun Changxiao was startled, then smiled: “Very thoughtful.”
Coming to challenge, the major forces would definitely favor Lily Saint Sect. Her summoning so many people showed consideration for the sect.
“Creak.”
The tightly closed gate opened, and a faint voice came: “Sect Master Jun, please enter.”
“Let’s go.”
Jun Changxiao landed before the mountain gate and strode in. All disciples jumped down from the Hurricane Wolves and followed closely behind.
Though this was a second-rate sect with deep heritage, their faces showed no trace of fear—clearly they’d experienced major scenes before.
“Whew!”
Xiao Zuiji took a deep breath, clenching his fist: “Murong Xin, I’m here!”
……
Lily Saint Sect’s outer courtyard was very large. Every brick underfoot carried distant history.
At this moment, the training ground area had gathered various families and forces from Eastern Hao Province who’d arrived earlier—quite a few people, about twenty to thirty thousand.
When Jun Changxiao led disciples in, they all cast disdainful looks.
As Eastern Hao Province forces, they naturally favored Lily Saint Sect and were hostile toward the outsider sect.
Mu Changhong was also there.
He originally hadn’t planned to participate in this sect battle, but half a month ago, he was invited by the Eastern Hao Province Royal City’s city lord.
Very obviously.
This was to make him personally witness how Eternal Sect would be crushed.
“City Lord Mu.”
Haotian Royal City’s City Lord Ding Lingchun locked onto Jun Changxiao, smiling: “Is this youngster the Eternal Sect Master who’s been making waves in the martial world recently?”
“Correct,” Mu Changhong said.
Ding Lingchun smiled: “Truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.”
Mu Changhong knew he didn’t favor Eternal Sect and was too lazy to respond, because he himself didn’t have much confidence either.
“Step.”
Shortly after, Jun Changxiao stopped at the training ground’s perimeter, hands behind his back: “Three years ago, my Eternal Sect made a battle agreement with your sect. Today we’ve come to keep that appointment!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eternal Sect’s elders, hall masters, and disciples stood behind him with heads held high.
Their numbers weren’t many. Compared to Eastern Hao Province’s tens of thousands of powerhouses from various forces, there was quite a gap, but the iron-willed aura they emanated was by no means inferior!
“This…”
Mu Changhong was dumbfounded.
Clearly so far behind a second-rate sect, why would Eternal Sect’s people show such fearless momentum?
If City Lord Mu had personally witnessed Jun Changxiao challenging Righteous Qi Sect and Sacred Spring Sect, he’d understand why they weren’t intimidated.
Fighting the strong with weakness—it wasn’t the first or second time.
Why be scared? Why fear?
Forces from other provinces successively poured into Lily Saint Sect. Many people instinctively moved to the sides, isolating Jun Changxiao and his group.
Forces from Southwest Yang Province hadn’t come.
Otherwise, they’d definitely stand behind to support Eternal Sect.
Lu Qianqian looked back at the Profound Spirit Sect Master and others who’d just entered. They immediately understood, steeling themselves to stand behind Jun Changxiao.
“Northeast Lu Province forces came to cheer for Eternal Sect?”
“Didn’t they have conflicts before?”
“I heard Extreme Cold Palace was nearly destroyed—that’s deep hatred. They should fight to the death!”
Seeing Northeast Lu Province’s nine major fourth-rate sects stand behind Eternal Sect, confusion rose in various forces’ eyes.
The Profound Spirit Sect Master and others were also depressed.
That Jun Changxiao foolishly challenging a second-rate sect—being forced to come cheer meant completely losing face!
……
Lily Saint Sect’s great hall.
Cheng Huixin and several elders emerged.
Worthy of being a second-rate force—each had Martial Emperor level cultivation.
“Sect Master Jun.”
Cheng Huixin said flatly: “The battle agreement was made with Xiao Zuiji. What do you mean bringing so many disciples today?”
Jun Changxiao said: “Since we’ve traveled a thousand miles to come, one fight definitely wouldn’t be satisfying. Why not have more fights?”
“Hahaha.”
A powerhouse laughed loudly: “Sect Master Jun truly has spirit!”
Others whispered in discussion.
Bringing so many disciples to challenge, with each person fighting once—that would be similar to many commanderies’ sect competitions.
Some people admired Jun Changxiao’s courage, daring to bring disciples to a second-rate sect to be beaten!
Cheng Huixin said coldly: “Since Sect Master Jun has such interest, my Lily Saint Sect naturally will accompany you to the end.”
With that, she waved her hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sect disciples walked forward one after another, standing at the training ground’s edge.
All Lily Saint Sect disciples were female, their appearances quite good. Lined up like this, there was quite a feeling of flowers competing in beauty.
Comparing people was deadly, comparing goods made you throw them away.
Lu Qianqian and Mu Honglian standing behind Jun Changxiao—whether in appearance or temperament—completely crushed this second-rate sect’s female disciples.
“Tsk tsk.”
One powerhouse didn’t care about looks but cultivation, so he praised: “These Lily Saint Sect disciples are all high-level Martial Ancestors!”
Looking again at the several hundred disciples Jun Changxiao brought, he shook his head: “The two are completely incomparable.”
On the surface, Eternal Sect disciples indeed couldn’t compare with Lily Saint Sect, because they all used Hidden Cultivation Technique to suppress their realms.
There were not only Martial Ancestors but also Martial Masters.
Jun Changxiao said flatly: “Elder Cheng, my Eternal Sect came with full sincerity to challenge. Please treat this seriously and don’t send these crooked melons and split dates to fight.”
“…”
Various martial artists’ mouths twitched.
Lily Saint Sect’s disciples had good aptitude and realm—he actually described them as ‘crooked melons and split dates’!
Cheng Huixin said coldly: “Sect Master Jun, the disciples my sect sent are sufficient to battle your sect’s disciples. If we sent stronger ones, it would seem like bullying the weak.”
“No problem.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This seat just likes being bullied by the strong. Your sect can freely send out your most elite disciples to fight.”
Likes being bullied by the strong?
Instantly, all forces’ evaluation of Sect Master Jun was—this guy has a problem!
