Chapter 455: Chapter 455: True Genius
The golden flying boat slowly descended. Standing on the flying boat, they could already see the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect below.
Indeed, it could only be referred to as ruins. What came into view were broken walls and ruins, with trees and weeds growing in many places, covering parts of the original Virtual Sky Sect ruins.
In the center of the ruins, there was a large open space. Looking down from above, it seemed that the top of a mountain had been flattened to create this large square.
Many of the royalty and disciples of the Purple Mist Sect who came to the Virtual Sky Sect for the first time were amazed. It was truly an ancient sect, flattening a mountain top, such a grandeur.
At this time, on that open ground, two clearly divided parties had already gathered. They were none other than those who had arrived early from Yun Country and Meng Kingdom.
In addition to these, in various places of the Virtual Sky Sect ruins, there were many forces from the Lower Three Kingdoms gathered to watch the battle, and a considerable number of loose cultivators had come.
“The people of Qian Country have finally arrived, they’re quite late this time.”
“The other two countries have been here for a while, but Qian Country is two days late.”
“However, Qian Country is not late, it’s just later than Yun Country and Meng Kingdom.”
···
In the ruins of the Virtual Sky Sect, many people were discussing, pointing at the slowly descending golden flying boat of Qian Country.
The people from Yun Country and Meng Kingdom were watching the flying boat of Qian Country with a cold eye, and kept observing who was on the flying boat.
The flying boat didn’t land on the square, instead, it landed on a low mountain nearby. Not far away, there were two other flying boats, which obviously belonged to Yun Country and Meng Kingdom.
“Let’s get off, follow me to see who from the other two countries has come.” Yang Jianye said. The royalty followed behind him, and the members of the Purple Mist Sect followed Han Luoyun towards the square at the top of the mountain.
Along the way, many warriors who came to watch the battle showed reverence towards the people of Qian Country, specifically towards Han Luoyun and Yang Jianye who were leading the way.
After all, whether it was Han Luoyun or Yang Jianye, both were considered top masters in the Lower Three Kingdoms, and they both held great influence. They could be described as big figures who could cause a stir in the Lower Three Kingdoms.
Even if some of these warriors were from the Meng Kingdom and some from the Yun Country, they would still respect Han Luoyun and Yang Jianye from their hearts.
When they reached the peak, the people from Yun Country and Meng Kingdom had been waiting for a long time. The tri-nation grand competition was indeed the most grand event in the Lower Three Kingdoms, and the people leading the teams from these two countries were also their respective top powerhouses.
“Yang Jianye, Han Luoyun, why are only the two of you leading the team this time? Where is that guy Li Zhendong?” A white-robed old man from Yun Country asked.
This elder looked very friendly, with a smile on his face, his white robe was spotless, and behind him were a group of people also dressed in white.
“This time, none of the three candidates from Qian Country are from the Li family, so Li Zhendong naturally won’t come.” Yang Jianye said, and bowed his fist towards the white-robed elder.
Yang Xuanfeng whispered to Fang Lin, “This elder is He Qiannian, the Sect Master of the Hazy Sect in Yun Country. His power is unfathomable.”
Fang Lin nodded, he didn’t know much about the forces and top masters of Yun Country and Meng Kingdom.
Hearing Yang Jianye’s words, the people of Yun Country and Meng Kingdom were somewhat surprised. They had thought that someone from the Li family would come, but they didn’t expect that there was no one from the Li family among the three candidates in Qian Country. In the past competitions among the Three Kingdoms, the Li family of Qian Country had never been absent.
“Fellow gentlemen, I wonder which three talented individuals from Qian Country will be participating this time? Let us have a look too.” A coquettish woman said with a faint smile.
She didn’t look young, she was probably around thirty, dressed provocatively and looked extremely seductive. Behind her were a group of proud disciples.
“This woman is Mu Hongchen, the sect hierarch of the Black Yin Sect of Meng Kingdom. She’s very formidable and has caused a lot of trouble for many forces in Qian Country.” Yang Xuanfeng said.
Fang Lin looked at Mu Hongchen, indeed, she had a strong worldly aura.
“Hehe, the distinguished guests from Yun Country and Meng Kingdom should also be open and honest and let us have a look.” Han Luoyun joked.
A middle-aged man in a purple-gold dragon robe from Yun Country said, “We’ve arrived here and you’re still hiding something. We in Yun Country have always looked down on such tactics.”
After saying this, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and from Yun Country’s side, two men and one woman came forward.
“Zhao Shenji from the royal family of Yun Country will be participating in the contest and is also my eldest son.” The middle-aged man said, he was the current emperor of Yun Country, Zhao Zhenlong.
As Zhao Zhenlong’s voice fell, one of the young men and women from Yun Country stepped forward. He looked somewhat similar to Zhao Zhenlong. He wasn’t handsome, but he had a steady demeanor and his eyes were reserved, sharp but not revealing.
“Junior Zhao Shenji pays my respects to Elder Yang and Sect Master Han.” Zhao Shenji bowed his fist, paid his respects to Han Luoyun and Yang Jianye in a way that was appropriate for a younger generation.
The members of each royal family only addressed the emperor of their own country as his majesty, and the emperor of other countries as elder. This was an unwritten rule.
“Prince Zhao is too polite, it’s been a few years, and you have become more and more like your father’s majesty.” Yang Jianye said lightly, without too much praise.
Han Luoyun just nodded with a smile, saying nothing more.
Zhao Shenji returned to the threesome, neither humble nor arrogant, his expression appeared calm and relaxed.
Fang Lin observed Zhao Shenji in secret. When he was in the Pill Pole Tower, Zhao Shenkong indeed hadn’t lied to him. Among Yun Country’s contenders for the tri-nation grand competition, there was indeed a guy called Zhao Shenji.
Yang Xuanfeng also looked at Zhao Shenji. As the prince of Qian Country, he naturally held a large enmity towards Zhao Shenji, the prince of Yun Country.
The Sect Master of the Hazy Sect, He Qiannian, stepped forward and laughed, “Our Hazy Sect only has one useless disciple participating.”
As he spoke, a thin young man standing next to Zhao Shenji came forward, bowed to Han Luoyun and Yang Jianye.
“The junior Chen Wu pays respects to the two elders.” Although Chen Wu from Hazy Sect looked weak, there was a dangerous aura in his every move.
After Chen Wu stepped back, the only woman among the three came forward and introduced herself, “Junior Liu Wuyin, a loose cultivator from Yun Country, pays respects to the two elders.”
Hearing this, the royal family members and the people from the Purple Mist Sect were all a little surprised. Even Yang Jianye and Han Luoyun frowned slightly.
A loose cultivator? This woman was actually a loose cultivator? Being a loose cultivator but able to represent Yun Country in the grand competition, and she was even one of the main choice, the implications behind this were certainly not simple.
