Chapter 1923: Chapter 1919: The Thousand Sect Grand Assembly Begins (Part 3)
After speaking, he turned and left.
Thus, this welcoming banquet concluded in an extremely dramatic fashion.
Afterwards, this news spread rapidly, shocking everyone who heard it.
"Wow, the Execution God Temple’s recruit this year is truly bold; he dared to openly confront Xiao Tiansha and even gave Qianhe Fairy a beating. Just based on this courage alone, it’s enough to impress anyone," someone marveled.
"Heh, it’s just luck. Due to the rules, Master Xiao can’t act now, but once the Thousand Sects Grand Meeting begins, I refuse to believe this guy will be so lucky!" someone else sneered.
"But why do I feel like it’s not that simple? We still can’t trace this youth’s background up until now; who exactly is he?" another person wondered, looking puzzled.
For a moment, everyone had their own theories.
At this time, inside the Flying Tiger Hall’s pavilion, Chu Xiong said in a deep voice, "Withdraw all the people monitoring the Execution God Temple!"
"Young Hall Master, stop the surveillance?"
"The Execution God Temple will soon cease to exist, so what’s the point?"
"Understood!"
After his subordinate left, Chu Xiong fell into deep thought for a long time, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.
He never expected that the white-robed youth he once looked down upon would be so formidable, even daring to offend Master Xiao.
But no matter how strong, he had offended Xiao Tiansha, which meant certain death!
The already complex situation now seemed even more tangled due to the uproar at the welcoming banquet.
But just as the undercurrents were stirring.
The Execution God Temple’s pavilion was unexpectedly calm.
Xue An, after retrieving Mu Wushuang, said nothing more, only stating lightly, "Alright, go back and rest well. Let’s talk after the Thousand Sects Grand Meeting the day after tomorrow."
Mu Wushuang nodded heavily and then turned to leave.
She didn’t speak the entire time, afraid she might burst into tears if she opened her mouth.
Xue An watched her back, faintly smiled, and then also turned to leave.
The following day, the entire The Purple Microcosm City was surprisingly peaceful; even the usually lively and bustling White Jade Tower became much quieter.
Everyone seemed to sense something; even the usual arrogant cultivators stayed hidden in their pavilions, not daring to show themselves.
Amidst this atmosphere, the Thousand Sects Grand Meeting finally began!
On this day.
Countless onlookers crowded around Banruo Peak, making it impenetrable.
Moreover, powerful figures had set up the Water Mirror Formation to broadcast the scene on Banruo Peak in real-time to various places.
First to enter were the major sects of the Void Great Sect.
In fact, in the Multiverse, there is no strict standard to classify sects.
People generally use convention, with the Void Great Sect and Starry Sea Sect as standards to rank sect strengths.
Sects that have influence over an entire Starry Domain and a certain reputation in the Multiverse can be called the Void Great Sect.
While the Starry Sea Sect is much stricter, referring to sects whose influence extends across various Starry Domains, with at least several top Immortal Kings in the sect, or even those with an Ancient Immortal Emperor.
Such sects are not many, even in the Multiverse.
Thus, the majority participants in the Thousand Sects Grand Meeting are those of the Void Great Sect lineage.
Despite this, their strength remains formidable; many have reached the standard of a Half-step Immortal King, with some just a step short of becoming Immortal Kings.
Presented to so many people of the Multiverse, it’s natural for them to display a little showmanship.
Therefore, as they entered, their presence was dazzling and their entrance methods were varied, with some walking on air, or stepping short distances, ascending Banruo Peak step by step, while others rode wind and thunder, directly flying to the mountaintop.
In short, they showcased their abilities, eliciting numerous gasps of amazement from the onlookers.
At that moment, two monks, one big and one small, were seen stepping on lotuses, arriving from the distant horizon.
"Buddhist cultivator of great power! It’s the Buddhist cultivator who acted at the inn that night!" someone recognized Yuan Tong and Hui Tong, exclaiming.
Many knowledgeable individuals narrowed their eyes slightly.
"Buddhist cultivators have never participated in the Thousand Sects Grand Meeting in previous years; what’s different this year?"
"Indeed, and both of them are extremely powerful; the one in front is already a Golden Body Bodhisattva!"
Amidst the discussions, Yuan Tong and Hui Tong had already ascended the high platform atop Banruo Peak.
This high platform was crafted with the combined efforts of the great powers from Shangqing Mountain, appearing ordinary at first, but, once you ascend, you find it to be impressively vast.
Yuan Tong led his junior directly to sit in the corner of the arena, where they began meditating.
This left many sect geniuses wishing to approach a bit disappointed.
At this moment, the Flying Tiger Hall’s carriage arrived, and as its descendant, Chu Xiong, descended, his commanding presence attracted a lot of attention.
In terms of strength, the Flying Tiger Hall is between the Void Great Sect and the Starry Sea Sect, and Chu Xiong achieved excellent results in the last Thousand Sects Grand Meeting, drawing the admiration of many.
However, his usual arrogance was replaced by surprising humility this time.
He didn’t utter a word, also finding a corner to sit quietly.
His silence seemed to influence many others.
People began to wait silently.
Soon, more and more people arrived, including significant figures from the Starry Sea Sect.
Many of the audience couldn’t help but be amazed.
"This year’s Thousand Sects Grand Meeting is much larger than the previous one!"
As soon as the words fell, an ostentatious procession of carriages approached Banruo Peak, and beautiful attendants placed a red carpet from the air onto the arena.
Only then did Luo Rongjin gracefully descend from the soft couch, stepping on the red carpet towards the arena.
This manner of entrance was simply unbelievable.
But no one dared to show the slightest hint of ridicule.
Luo Rongjin glanced around everyone present and coldly snorted.
Then someone carried the soft couch to the arena for him.
Luo Rongjin reclined back, full of satisfaction, waiting.
Finally.
Amidst the slight commotion of the crowd.
A massive stream of light suddenly flew above Banruo Peak, and then Xiao Tiansha appeared, leading a large group of people to the scene.
His appearance caused a sensation throughout the audience.
"That is the first place from the last Thousand Sects Grand Meeting, occupying the top of the Jade Ranking, Xiao Tiansha!"
"Wow, such strong momentum!"
At this moment, Xiao Tiansha’s face was stern, not showing a hint of a smile.
Beside him stood Qianhe Fairy, Fu Nianzhi.
By this time, the wounds on Fu Nianzhi’s face had naturally healed.
But for some reason, those who had witnessed the scene at the welcoming banquet felt there was something awkward about her otherwise beautiful face.
"Not here yet?" Xiao Tiansha asked coldly.
Though he didn’t specify, people knew exactly whom he was referring to.
Someone shook their head, "Not yet!"
