Chapter 1474: Sudden Disaster
old man was, within the Qianqiu Fen Zong, second only to Liu He in strength. He was at the middle stage of the Daoist path.The old man sneered and said, “Apart from Wushang, it seems that the Shanhai...It is said that there exists within the Heavenly Realms a world of immense size. It's almost devoid of life and incredibly vast. Within this realm, the grand competition held by the Wudao Sect takes place.
In the center of this realm, there is a circular platform with an area spanning hundreds of thousands of zhang. This is where disciples from various sects compete.
On all sides of the platform, there are countless giant stones piled up in a terraced arrangement, capable of accommodating millions.
Although the venue of this competition is already incredibly vast, it still cannot accommodate all the disciples from the main branches of the Wenda Sect, as well as those who came to observe.
Like the Mountain and Sea Division had three hundred thousand disciples, while the number of disciples in other divisions varied, the fewest also exceeded one hundred thousand.
Therefore, the disciples who do not participate in the grand competition within each branch naturally cannot all enter this platform's vicinity.
But first, we need to make sure all the guests are seated. Then, based on the remaining seats, we'll select a certain number of disciples from each branch in a predetermined ratio.
As for those disciples who are unable to enter the platform, there's no need to worry about missing the competition.
Because in this world, every certain distance there stands a thousand-zhang tall cloudstone, which will clearly and completely present the situation on the competition stage.
Therefore, as long as you are in this world, no matter where you are located, you can see the big picture.
The day before the grand competition, all disciples who were not participating from each branch had already been sent to this world in advance. According to a certain order, they were placed in their respective areas.
Of course, someone has already done the statistics. Each sect can send 3,000 disciples to the viewing platform to watch the competition.
These three thousand chosen individuals will be selected independently by each sub-sect.
In order to appease the discontent among demon tribe disciples who were unable to participate in the war, Shan Hai Fen Zong intentionally gave almost all 3,000 spots to the demon tribe.
Moreover, in recent days, the reputation of the Shanhai Split Sect has grown increasingly prominent. Therefore, under Lao Hei's leadership, their three thousand disciples were not only the first batch to enter the competition stage but also had a very good position.
For arrangements like this for the main clan, it finally gave Lao Hei and other demon clans a little comfort in their hearts.
"That's about right!" Glancing around, Lao Hei's face broke into a satisfied smile. He nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Brothers, let's go!"
Three thousand disciples walked into the arena with excited expressions, but behind them, the several senior disciples in charge of arranging them wore mocking smiles and said: “A bunch of fools, even at the brink of death, they are still so happy!”
After the disciples of Shan Hai Fen Zong had taken their seats, those from other branches entered one after another. Then came the disciples of the main sect, followed by the guests observing the ceremony, and lastly, the participating disciples.
In all, under the arrangements of the Wenda Sect, as soon as dawn broke, everyone entered the competition stage in an orderly manner, filling up all hundreds of millions of seats.
Of course, the arrangement of seats is also quite thoughtful. Guests with greater influence and stronger abilities are seated in better locations.
This means even the top cultivators of the Shan Hai branch, such as Dan Daozi and Bu Yi Nan, who had always remained at the highest echelons of power, were forced to disperse among the rest of the Shan Hai branch members.
Xia Zhongxing and the others finally reunited with Lao Hei and his group. Although Lao Hei and his group had also heard about the arrival of various major sects at the Shanhai branch in recent days, they didn't know the specifics.
At this moment, Xia Zhongxing briefly summarized the general course of events, especially the arrival of Earth Star River and news about Jiang Yun. Everyone listened with boundless excitement.
Lao Hei was even more excitedly asked: "So, can Ginger brother really come to participate in this big competition"
Xia Zhongxing smiled and shook his head. "I don't know about that, but the elders of the Earth Sprite tribe said he should come. Perhaps, he's on his way here right now!"
“I also believe he’ll definitely come!” Lao Hei said with absolute certainty. “Because Brother Jiang has never disappointed us!”
Just then, a thunderous cheer finally broke out, interrupting the conversation among the disciples of the Shan Hai Fen Zong.
As it turned out, a figure of Tian Yun appeared in the center of the platform!
At this moment, everyone's mood also became high-spirited. Dao Tianyun's appearance was to give a simple introduction to the rules of the big competition. After he finished his introduction, the official start of the big competition would be announced.
Though Daotian's reputation might not be as prominent as Jiang Yun's these days, it has introduced and made many people remember Wen Daozong, the next sect leader of Question Dao Sect.
At this moment, Dao Tianyun was smiling, bowing his hands to those around him and greeting familiar faces.
However, when his gaze fell upon the crowd from the Shanhai Branch Sect, his brow furrowed suddenly, and the smile on his face instantly transformed into anger. He said, "Shanhai Branch Sect, how dare you!"
Upon hearing the phrase "heaven's decree," everyone was taken aback. The lively atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Especially the people of Shan Hai Fen Zong were completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Only Dao Tianyou, who was sitting here in the Shanhai Fenzong, had his face suddenly change.
Dao Tian's face was covered in frost as he coldly said, "As everyone knows, my Wudao Sect is the human race's Dao sect and has always only accepted disciples from the human race."
"Although you are merely a branch sect, since you are a branch sect of the Qidao Sect, you must naturally abide by this rule!"
"You, the Shan Hai Sect, recruit disciples from the demon clan. I bear with your origins from the wilderness, and do not pursue this matter further. However, now you dare to openly allow so many demon clan disciples to sit here!"
Speaking of this, Dao Tianyun suddenly reached out and pointed at Dao Tianyou: "Dao Tianyou, you used to be the master of the Shan Hai branch sect. I want an explanation for this!"
In one sentence, all eyes were instantly drawn to Dao Tianyou, and his face was already flushed red.
He finally understood that the day he humbled himself, even going so far as to cut off a finger in a plea to Tianyun, all he received was Tianyun's amusement.
From beginning to end, Dao Tianyun has never changed his decision!
He wanted to launch a surprise attack at the start of the competition, publicly humiliating himself and all the disciples of the Shanhai Split Sect.
Not only did Tianyou understand, but the disciples of the Shanhai School also understood!
Although they understood, they also knew in their hearts that even if they revealed the truth now, no one would believe them.
After all, the conversation between Dao Tian Yun and Dao Tian You was known only to the two of them.
More importantly, it's the way of heaven!
Looking around, all the disciples of the main and branch sects sitting here today are human cultivators.
Only those who came from the Shan Hai sect were almost entirely demonic creatures!
In contrast, the disparity and dissonance of its separation into mountains and seas become even more apparent.
"No wonder they let us enter first, no wonder they gave us such a good position, it turns out it was all to embarrass us!"
Lao Hei gritted his teeth and said these words, just about to stand up and unleash a torrent of curses, but Xia Zhongxing grabbed his arm with lightning speed. Qi surged through him, forcefully pinning Lao Hei's body down. "Don't move!" he commanded urgently.
At the same time, Dan Daozi's voice also rang in the ears of all the disciples of the Shan Hai branch sects: "Each and every one of you, sit down for me, and none of you are allowed to move!"
Although Dan Daozi didn't know the specific details, it was clear to him that Dao Tianyun was deliberately making things difficult for the Shanhai Branch.
Especially, he also saw a group of disciples from the Asking Dao Sect outside, already flexing their muscles and eyeing all the people from Shan Hai Branch Sect with murderous intent!
