Chapter 476 - 476 The Qingzhou Alliance!

476 The Qingzhou Alliance!

“But, only the ones who are friendly with the ninth and thirteenth elders would be possible… Wuyi must be the great elder’s! And the great elder is certainly from the Sacred Heart Sect!” Xiang Mingfeng was sure of it.

“Oh… This trip was not a waste of time.” Qin Huai sighed in relief.

At least, he had almost confirmed that the people from the Sacred Heart Sect were involved. As for the demons…he’d figure it out slowly.

…

The next morning, the whole of Wuji Mountain was buzzing with excitement. A challenge from Lion Spirit Mountain’s number one prodigy to all sects in Qingzhou City was a big deal.

This tradition from Lion Spirit Mountain had grown popular over the years. Whenever their prodigies visited, local sects would hold a competition and invite everyone for a feast. They’d share experiences and talk business. If someone could beat Lion Spirit Mountain’s prodigy, it would be a great honor and could bring wealth.

In the early morning, many disciples from Wuji Mountain went to Xiang Mingfeng’s ruined temple and asked him to leave his isolation.

Once everyone left, Qin Huai went to the competition site. His face was unknown to all. The site, or rather the feast, was bigger than he expected with over a thousand people.

Qin Huai scanned the crowd. Hua Yanli, Yun Qi, Wang Gang, and Xiong Yujie had fought alongside him in the bronze realm. Surprisingly, he also saw Gou Jie who was supposed to be in isolation. He walked towards him.

“Are we going to fight the Sacred Heart Sect today?” Gou Jie asked, a slight smile on his face as he tossed some coins into the air.

“How did you know?” Qin Huai was curious. They hadn’t met any of the top fighters from the five sects yet.

“Haha! You make me sound like I’m the best at predicting. I’m good, but not the best.” Gou Jie stayed calm.

“You predicted this?” Qin Huai was skeptical. The prediction ability sounded troublesome. It made him worried that the Sacred Heart Sect might have seen their plans.

“Don’t worry. Just because I can predict doesn’t mean others can,” Gou Jie assured him, confident.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Qin Huai half-joked. “Can you tell who’s the demon in Wuji Mountain and who belongs to the Sacred Heart?”

“We only predict possibilities, not specific people. If we could, our prediction ability would have been destroyed long ago,” Gou Jie explained, “Also, predicting drains us. The more accurate, the more draining.”

“Sorry, I didn’t know.”

Qin Huai also had a prediction ability, but he wasn’t very good at it. It drained his energy and life force, so he only half-believed Gou Jie. The other half of him thought that Gou Jie was hiding something big.

“It’s starting.”

Qin Huai, Hua Yanli, and others exchanged glances from a distance. Close by, Wu Jin, the third elder of Wuji Mountain, slowly approached.

“Something’s not right. Usually, all four leaders of Wuji Mountain show up.” Gou Jie looked worried.

“I thought you’d predict what we know.” Qin Huai turned serious.

The chief, Kong Binghuang, and the first and second elders, Yu Tiancong and Shang Yinzhong, were missing. Could they both be with the Sacred Heart? This daring thought crossed Qin Huai’s mind.

He saw Xiang Mingfeng and Fang Huo slowly approach from the north and south. Hundreds of meters away, both looked at Qin Huai, and he nodded in acknowledgment.

“Xiang Mingfeng, I’ve been waiting for this fight!” Fang Huo’s body hair started to grow rapidly.

“Nobody can beat me.” The aura around Xiang Ming grew stronger, shining as bright as the sun.

In a split second, both vanished from their spots. There was no idle talk.

Boom!

In the sky, powerful energy swept around as if it had taken a physical form. Everyone’s hair fluttered in the wind. In no time, strong winds whistled and swept the ground.

“Is this how top talents from the five great sects fight?”

“In such a short time, they’ve already exchanged more than ten blows.”

“This is just a warm-up… It seems Fang Huo hasn’t shown his full strength yet.”

“Truly scary, the power of a future leader.”

Everyone sighed watching the fierce fight. But soon, they got distracted by the feast.

“Those two are getting further away.”

“Stay in the arena, both of you!” Elder Wu Jin’s strong voice echoed for miles.

But the two fighters were lost in their battle and didn’t listen to him. In fact, they were moving away faster.

“Darn, they’re heading towards the main peak!”

Everyone finally left their food and rushed towards the main peak of Wuji Mountain. The fastest were Qin Huai and Gou Jie.

…

At Wuji Mountain’s main peak, Kong Binghuang stood, staring coldly at two groups in front of him.

The first group was led by First Elder Yu Tiancong, followed by ten deacons and elders of Wuji Mountain, including Ninth Elder Shi Hu. But Yu Tiancong looked worried. The second group, led by Second Elder Shang Yinzhong, had dozens of people, all experts of different ranks.

“Who are you?” Yu Tiancong asked Shang Yinzhong, his voice shaky.

“I’m Shang Yinzhong from Wuji Mountain!”
