This Hidden Dragon Battle was different from the past. Due to Lei Ao's appearance, there was a slight change in the Immortal Alliance.
First of all, after the time for public disciple selection had ended, the various sects still continued to send disciples to travel all over the place in search of disciples with potential.
All the sects started to worry that Lei Ao's growth would make the blade faction grow stronger, so they desperately tried to suppress it. They raised the disciples that they thought had potential with all kinds of spiritual medicines, and some did not even hesitate to grow, using external forces to help the disciples open the profound entrances to their bodies.
The consequence of this was that it would be very difficult for a disciple to improve after receiving outside help. Perhaps, they would only be able to enter the Dao Realm for the rest of their lives.
One could imagine how much pressure Lei Ao had brought to the sects.
Of course, not all sects would do that. For example, the Mao Mountain Sect only sent their disciples out to fight every year, and they were not afraid of any sect that would affect the Immortal Alliance's balance. In terms of true strength, the Mao Mountain Sect was much stronger than the Saber Sect.
There were also some sects that had their own core disciples. These disciples were groomed by them as support to the entire sect in the future, so they would not easily be exposed.
And this time's Hidden Dragon Battle, he believed that these sects would not be able to hold back and send out their most elite forces, all for the sake of giving the blade faction a warning, don't let those stupid thoughts of dominating the Immortal Alliance come to mind.
The one in charge was Elder Bai. When Lei Ao had joined the blade faction, he had made a move to probe Lei Ao. In the end, in order to probe out Lei Ao's background, he had even moved his true identity.
On the surface, this old man had a fiery personality, but he was actually very meticulous. For the development of the blade faction, his reputation in the outside world was that of a unreasonable person.
Not long after Lei Ao learned from the old man, he understood from the old man's words what he intended to do that day. In his heart, he admired the old man's efforts towards the sect, so he no longer resented him.
"Listen up, if you meet those bastards of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion, then beat me up. It's best if you beat them to death." Along the way, Elder Bai had constantly instigated the four of them, and he described the Tyrant Sword Pavilion badly.
"The Hidden Dragon battle can kill the opponent?" Huang Hao was surprised. This sort of bloody match didn't suit his personality.
"Hey brat, what's with that expression? Cultivating and being afraid of killing? "Hmph hmph, although I can't kill my opponent, at least I'll be half-dead."
Elder Bai glared at Huang Hao in dissatisfaction.
Lei Ao said, "In fact, what's the point of two sects fighting for thousands of years? Wasn't the ultimate purpose of cultivation all for that Immortal Ascension Realm? Rather than wasting one's time on scheming and scheming against the desire for power, it's better to focus on comprehending the Dao. "
"You don't understand. The creator of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion is actually the descendant of the senior that ascended to the Immortal Realm 6000 years ago. Due to his ancestors' successful ascension to the immortal level, his descendants believed that their lineage was the strongest. Furthermore, as soon as he established the Tyrant Sword Pavilion, they challenged our sect and thought that the blade should bow down to the sword. "
Elder Bai told a story that Lei Ao had never heard of before. The conclusion was that the conflict between the two sects was basically the hatred that Tyrant Sword Pavilion instigated first.
The descendant of the person who ascended to the Immortal Realm was trying to establish himself as the overlord of the Immortal Alliance. In order to establish his might, he went to the blade faction that was known as the number one sect in the Immortal Alliance.
The result could be imagined. Although the blade faction did not have the thought of dominating, the Sky Blade Technique emphasized the word "tyrant", getting stronger when met with a stronger person. Tyrant Sword Pavilion's forcefulness had provoked the blade faction's resistance. After thousands of years of conflict between the two families, it had already reached the point of not giving up until one party died.
Due to fear of the other sects in the Immortal Alliance, although the Tyrant Sword Pavilion and the Saber Sect had never engaged in an all-out battle, but after a period of time, the two sect heads would challenge each other.
The other indirect competition would be the Hidden Dragon Battle, which happened once every ten years. This contest was to show the Immortal Alliance the strength of their sect.
At the same time, in order to compete for a better vein crystal mine, both sects had been sparing no effort, unlike the other sects who could hide their elites.
The center of the Immortal Alliance was a large cultivation city called Lin Yuan. As the center of the Immortal Alliance, it was much more prosperous than other places.
The main reason was because this place was the symbol of the Immortal Alliance and the top ten sects had sent experts to watch over it. As a result, it was much safer here than in other cities.
Although they clearly knew that this Hidden Dragon Battle was much more intense than the previous ones, when they arrived at Lin Yuan City, they saw a completely different scene.
Every time the Hidden Dragon Battle ended, it would attract a large number of Qi warriors to watch. This time was no exception. What was different from the previous years was that the two forces that rarely stepped into the Immortal Union, Demon and Demon, actually appeared today.
The appearance of the demons and demons also caused a tense atmosphere to emerge in the city. The ten great sects even urgently sent their experts to reinforce the city.
Elder Bai, who led Lei Ao and the others into the battle, received the news midway. For safety's sake, he decided to stop and reunite with the sect's experts before leaving.
Lin Yuan City was more than ten times bigger than the Dengxian City. However, it was very difficult to find a place to set foot in the city right now. Even the sky was filled with people. Most of these were the powers of the Immortal Alliance.
Most of these people did not come for the Hidden Dragon Institute's martial arts competition, but for the Demon and Demon powers.
The Three Great Powers' shields could be traced back to ancient times, and each of them had their own sphere of operations. This time, the two powers crossed over from the other side, and just as planned, the Immortal Alliance began guessing whether the Three Realms War was about to erupt again.
In the center of Lin Yuan City was a huge stage, which was also the stage for the Hidden Dragon Battle.
By the time Lei Ao and the others arrived, the stage already had a master. But what surprised them was that the arena master wasn't a person from the Immortal Alliance, but a powerhouse from the Infernal domain.
What made him even more baffled was that the Hidden Dragon Battle Arena was of great importance to the Immortal Alliance. Why would the other sects allow the Infernal domain's disciples to become arena masters without a care?
The group of people arrived at the resting area of their sect, filled with questions. Before they could sit still, the disciples of the other nine sects had already come to invite them for a discussion.
The moment he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, he could hear the hubbub of voices in the distance. Representatives of the various sects were having an intense discussion, and the topic was the matter of the Hidden Dragon Arena being occupied by the Infernal domain.
"Everyone quiet down. The blade faction people have arrived."
Seeing Elder Bai and the others enter, the representative of the Rushing Thunder Sect quickly suppressed his voice. In an instant, dozens of eyes gathered on Lei Ao and the others, causing their pressure to increase greatly.
"So lively. Even if you don't mind, let this old man join in." Elder Bai pulled over a chair, Lei Ao and the rest were standing behind him.
The representative of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion coldly snorted and said: "You're late."
"Aiyo, my old body is tough, of course I can't compare to you cowards on the journey, so what?" Do you have any objections? "
Elder Bai's eyes widened and the taste of gunpowder in his mouth became stronger. Seeing this, the people beside him quickly urged: "Alright, you two can set the two sects aside first. Eccentric Bai, I believe you have seen the situation in the city. What do you think we should do?"
"What's going on? I only saw the stage being snatched away, and not only did you not go and snatch it back, you even had the mood to quarrel here. "
The moment he said that, the faces of all the elders became unsightly, as they were at a loss as to how to retort.
Seeing this situation, Elder Bai was secretly surprised. Normally, this group of arrogant fellows would have already scolded him, but now they were actually so honest.
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Why are the demon forces here? "And he's even seizing the arena in public."
The Elder of the Rushing Thunder Sect hesitated for a moment before saying, "This .. It seems to be an invitation from the Immortal Alliance. "
"What?" Elder Bai was startled, then slammed the table in anger: "Bullshit, why didn't I get any news? Or do you think my blade faction doesn't exist anymore? "
"Old Freak Bai, first listen to what you have to say before you lose your temper." The Taoist elder said, "Regarding this matter, none of you have received any news yet. However, those two powers did receive the highest level invitation letter from the Immortal Alliance."
Elder Bai frowned and asked, "The highest grade invitation letter can only be issued by the Sect Leader of one of the top ten sects in the Immortal Alliance. This shouldn't be difficult to find, right?"
"It's indeed not hard to find out. Now, we only have to wait for news from the other two sects."
Which two factions? Lei Ao secretly observed the crowd. Among the dozens of people present, there were only eight Elders. The rest were disciples from various sects that had come to participate in the battle.
