Chapter 1061: The Xuanji Sect Leader Arrives!

An Mingji’s voice was lazy and magnificent, like the sound of heaven.

Orange morning light spilled in from the window, bathing him in a soft, warm glow.

Gu Jin carefully observed the young man’s unparalleled beautiful face, with deep-set, exquisite features and a transcendent temperament.

The more she looked, the more beautiful he appeared—never enough to satisfy her gaze.

Knowing that everyone was waiting, Gu Jin retracted her appreciative gaze and said solemnly, "Little An, we should set off."

An Mingji nodded gently and stepped towards her.

Standing before Gu Jin, he extended a fair palm.

Gu Jin naturally placed her hand into his.

"Let’s go—"

The two moved forward, followed by the crowd.

Watching their departing figures, many felt a sense of life’s tranquility and the beauty of peace over the years.

An Mingji and Gu Jin seemed destined to be a pair; they were born to stand together.

In this world, no one is more suited to stand side by side than they are.

Because until now, they haven’t met anyone more outstanding.

...

The Cultivator Tournament.

The martial arts tournament is about to begin.

The vast tournament stage was surrounded by guest tables and chairs, with two-thirds of the seats already occupied.

Gu Jin’s group arrived just in time.

They were escorted by a young disciple of the Yin Yue Sect to seats closest to the martial stage.

This scene attracted many cultivators’ attention in the hall.

It is known that the seating arrangements made by the Yin Yue Sect and the Luosha Gate are intentional.

The closer one sits to the stage, the higher the cultivation level.

Until now, only less than ten people have occupied the front row seats.

And Gu Jin’s group had seven—could these seven all be experts?

"The Xuanji Sect Leader has arrived!"

Immediately after Gu Jin, An Mingji, Yu Shuo, Jiang Hanyi, Wanqi Jingyi, and Wanqi Heyang sat down, the young Yin Yue Sect disciple raised his head to announce.

Behind An Mingji, Allen stood straight, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

Since entering the martial arts venue, the evil qi was evident in his eyes, which usually appeared carefree and relaxed as if shrouded in a layer of dark mist.

Even Gu Jin and the others did not look well.

Just because the dense bloody scent here was too overwhelming.

They could distinguish the difference between human and animal blood; upon entering the venue, they realized the pervasive scent was distinctly human.

Though they couldn’t figure out why the scent was so intense.

Gu Jin’s cold gaze swept around as she noticed many were looking her way.

Some stared brazenly at her, their eyes filled with colors that made one nauseous.

An Mingji also felt these gazes, and his dark eyes flashed with a savage, bloodthirsty glint, which quickly vanished.

He slowly lowered his eyes, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and took off his coat, draping it over Gu Jin, naturally pulling her into his arms.

"Little An?"

Gu Jin spoke in confusion.

An Mingji’s voice was tender, "I don’t like the way they look at Akina."

He remembered every person daring to look at Akina covetously.

None of them would escape!

Understanding that An Mingji meant well, Gu Jin also despised those nauseating looks, and she nestled in the coat against the shoulder of the young man beside her.

Very quickly, Gu Jin noticed two distinct and intensely repellent gazes she couldn’t ignore.

She followed the gaze.

Seeing two elderly men sitting on high chairs opposite, one in a navy blue robe, the other in a gray tang suit.

Gu Jin: "Little An, are the people sitting on high chairs opposite the hosts of this Cultivator Tournament?"
