Chapter 2368
2368 He shot himself in the foot
The ethereal sect residence was a fourth rank sect, so it had its own merits.
“Fellow sect members, today is the day of the compet.i.tion between the three branches of ethereal sect.
The ethereal sect has been standing strong for thousands of years. We’ve been famous for our talents and have even pushed the sect to the top of the first-rank families.
!!
It was a pity that over the years, the talents had withered and there was no longer the glory of the past.
I hope that all of you can cultivate with all your heart and continue the legacy of our ancestors to restore the glory of ethereal sect!” Elder Xie stood up and said with pa.s.sion.
Below the stage, a wave of cheers instantly rang out.
“The compet.i.tion of the three branches has been a tradition of ethereal sect’s residence since ancient times. It’s used to test the strength of the disciples of each branch. However, there’s an even more important purpose for this compet.i.tion of the three lineages aside from testing one’s strength. It’s to decide on the candidate for the official sovereign of ethereal sect residence. Elder Jie, elder Chi, and I have discussed it. The three of us will not fight in this compet.i.tion. The results of the compet.i.tion between the disciples of each branch will directly determine the official sovereign. ” Elder Tong continued.
The entire compet.i.tion ground suddenly quieted down. None of the disciples had expected that the result of the compet.i.tion between them would actually directly determine the owners.h.i.+p of the official sovereign’s position.
Ling Chuxi was also stunned. She suddenly noticed that when elder Tong said this decision, he was actually a little helpless, while elder Xie’s mouth was a little bitter. Only Chi hanbing was smiling.
Looking at the experts and elders from the various large families, Ling Chuxi immediately understood. This decision must have been discussed long ago. So many famous experts and elders could not be invited over in one or two days. However, this was probably the result of Jie and Tong joining forces to suppress Chi hanbing.
No matter how one looked at it, han chiqing was the weakest of the three lineages. If Chi hanbing were to compete personally, there might be some hope. If it was only Zhao Dahai and the other two, plus ye Xiaoqi and the others, there was no chance of winning at all. They were simply accompanying the Crown Prince and going through the motions.
However, who would have thought that in just half a year’s time, the young disciples of the Hanqing pool would advance to Sage level one after another. On the other hand, the flower stream valley, which had a good foundation, only had a single disciple who had advanced to Sage level. They were destined to be at the bottom.
As for the reason, of course, it was because of the spiritual pills and inner cores.
After understanding the inside story, Ling Chuxi almost laughed out loud. Xie Feiying, Oh, Xie Feiying, this time, you’ve not only shot yourself in the foot, but also your grandfather’s foot.
“Alright, everyone knows the importance of this compet.i.tion. I hope everyone can do their best and not disappoint the elders of each branch. In order to ensure fairness, we have specially invited a few highly respected seniors to come and observe the ceremony. This is the young master of the fourth rank sword whisper Manor, Yue Jianqing. This is the fourth rank martial cultivator, Rong Sishui, and this is …”
Elder Tong introduced the people who came to watch the ceremony one by one.
Every time someone was mentioned, there would be a burst of excited cheers from the audience. It could be seen that these people had a high reputation. It also made it clear that the strong would always be respected by the world.
“I hereby announce the start of the ethereal sect residence’s three lineages battle!” After introducing the distinguished guests, elder Tong shouted.
The disciples of the three branches who were preparing to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament walked down the high platform.
