C419 Start of the General Assembly
The middle-aged man's other hand was like lightning as it patted the woman in white's neck, causing her to faint.
Qin Yun looked at the middle-aged man's methods and actions and nodded to himself. He was indeed the eldest disciple of the Long White Sect. He was much stronger than Protector Bai. His Cultivation was already at the peak of Core Formation.
The middle-aged man then spoke to his subordinate, "You've really taken good care of my junior. We still need to participate in the competition tomorrow."
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother." The two women answered and then brought the woman in white away.
"My apologies, senior. My junior apprentice sister has been spoiled by master and has come to disturb you. I am truly sorry." The middle-aged man said to Qin Yun in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine, just look favorably on your Junior Sister. If she wakes up, those two girls might not be able to see her." Qin Yun said indifferently.
"Thank you for your reminder, senior. I will take my leave now." With that, the middle-aged man left the room and closed the door.
The middle-aged man walked out of the room and muttered, "Why can't this person even detect his aura, but he gives off a very strong feeling?"
After they left, Qin Yun sat down cross-legged and continued resting with his eyes closed, waiting for the arrival of the Cultivator's Gathering tomorrow.
The next day, before the sun rose, the entire Long White Sect was already bustling with noise and excitement. Some sects had already arrived early on.
Qin Yun could be considered an 'inner character' who had been personally invited by Protector Bai to the Long White Sect's Martial Arts Practice Grounds to participate in the Cultivator's Assembly.
After Qin Yun came to the martial arts training ground, he surveyed his surroundings. The surroundings were filled with people. A few familiar sects had also come.
Green Station Mountain, Flying Sand Sect, Iron Fist Sect, Purple Light Sect, Five Poisons Sect …
However, there were nine empty spots in the middle. These nine spots were very particular. The six spots on the two sides were quite low while the three in the middle were very high.
Qin Yun could not help but feel puzzled. Protector Bai, why is there no one sitting there? " Qin Yun asked Protector Bai.
Protector Bai explained with a smile to Qin Yun, "That's where the Sect Master, Heavenly Rankings experts and Divine Ranking experts stand guard."
Qin Yun looked at those spots as a smile suffused across his lips. However, since he was wearing a mask, it was natural that Defender Bai could not see it.
After a while, the four Patriarchs of the Underworld's four families brought Nangong Yue and the other ladies over and sat around the Martial Arts Practice Grounds.
Around seven or eight o'clock, an old man in a white robe descended from the sky and landed firmly in the middle of the training field.
The originally bustling and noisy venue instantly became quiet with the appearance of the white-robed old man.
The white robed old man was the Sect Master of the Long White Sect, Bai Ze.
Bai Ze surveyed his surroundings, then said with a smile, "I welcome everyone to the Long White Sect to participate in this Cultivator's Assembly."
His voice was very low, and everyone in the training field could hear his voice loud and clear, as if he was talking to everyone. It was clear how deep his Cultivation was.
The rest of the discussion was just some old formalities.
"This Cultivator's Gathering has officially begun!"
After Bai Ze finished speaking, his body lightened up and he flew to the central seat in the middle of the nine positions.
Then, eight figures flew over from the distance and directly landed beside the Long White Sect Master, Bai Ze.
Qin Yun took a look around. On Bai Ze's left, a youth in his thirties was sitting in a green robe. On his right, there was a matured woman in light pink light clothes. She was about thirty years old as well, having a coquettish face.
Although the duo looked ordinary, Qin Yun could sense a powerful strength from their bodies. It looked like the duo were experts on the Divine Ranking.
The azure-robed man was the azure-robed Sacred Master, Xi Qiu, ranked nineteenth on the Divine List.
The matured woman was the Southern City Lady, Mizen, ranked 20th on the Divine List.
The other six Cultivation s were very strong, but compared to these two people, they were nothing.
Moreover, they did not have the flamboyant titles of the experts on the Divine Ranking, they only had simple names.
At this moment, it was Qin Yun's turn to judge.
Qin Yun did not fly up the stage like the experts of the Heavenly Rankings. Instead, he leaped and landed steadily in the center of the arena.
The people from the various sects around the Martial Arts Practice Hall looked at the masked man standing in the middle of the training field. They were all discussing amongst themselves.
"Who is this? Why is he wearing a mask?"
"From the looks of it, it should be the referee. But isn't the last convention composed of people made from Dragon Group? Why is there someone wearing a mask?"
"I heard that this person is called Long Jiu, and he's also from the Dragon Group. I heard that his strength is unfathomable."
"..."
Not only were these people discussing, even the six Heavenly Rankers were discussing amongst themselves.
One of the bare-chested man said: "I've seen everyone from Dragon Group before, why haven't I seen this kid before?"
The person who spoke was called Shi Zheng, ranked thirty-first on the Heavenly Rankings.
An old man dressed in black, who was around forty years old, said from beside Shi Zheng: "I think this kid should be an expert that has been hired using Dragon Group."
This black-clothed old man was called Yan Changdong, the twenty-ninth rank.
Another middle-aged man in a white robe said lightly, "Stop guessing, just watch these kids fight."
This white robed middle-aged man was called Nie Hong, the tenth rank on the Heavenly Rankings.
At this moment, the two Heavenly Rankings Experts spoke.
"This person can't sense a single thing. I wonder how strong he is?" When the azure-dressed sage Xi Qiu saw Qin Yun's figure, a glimmer flashed in his eyes as he said that.
"I think he must have some sort of treasure on him. Even if he hides his aura, his strength should only be at the Earth Board's level." Madam Mi Zhen from Southern City said as she looked at Qin Yun.
"..."
"The rules of this Cultivator's Gathering are the same as last time. Participants cannot be over forty years old, and when a martial artist spars, they must stop at that point. They cannot harm the lives of others." Qin Yun fused his voice into his Spiritual Energy and it resounded in everyone's ears.
"The first round!" Sha Wuduan from the Flying Sand Sect against Wu Bin from the Eight Trigrams Sect! " Qin Yun said with a deep voice.
After saying that, Qin Yun leaped again and left the arena.
Swish." With a 'bang', a young man around the age of 25 or 26, dressed in a black tight suit, jumped onto the arena. This young man looked very handsome, but a trace of malevolence flashed in his eyes.
As this man stepped onto the stage, cheers and applause came from the direction of the Flying Sand Sect.
Qin Yun was no stranger to the Flying Sand Sect. He had interacted with them back at Dragon Head Peak.
Soon after, another man wearing a light blue coat jumped onto the stage. This man was a bit old, and looked to be almost 30 years old.
However, this man had a calm aura about him.
The two of them clasped their hands and bowed to each other. Then, each of them assumed an attacking posture.
