Imperial city was wide and elegant countless cultivators had gathered for the central plains competition it was the talk of the year as everyone was gathering at the arena stage a voice could be heard throughout imperial city it said
" Sect master !!!!!!!!"
It was a call for help and anyone who heard it could tell sect master xie laochen could tell his disciples was in trouble he said
" Zhou yu"
Space distorted and he teleported to where his disciples was but some people recognize the voice the minute they heard it mu yong tapped his spirit beast and it went to where it heard the voice when sect master xie laochen teleported to where zhou yu was
He saw the elder that had put his hands on Zhou yu he told him to take his hands of his disciples and after seeing his completed heavenly layer the elder unconsciously took his hands off zhou yu shoulders the minute he did Zhou yu ran towards sect master xie laochen he said
" Let's go "
He looked at his son and his son had watched him being humiliated and this was their first meeting he gritted his but there was nothing he could do about it sect master xie laochen could tell his disciple was furious he looked at the young man beside the fourth elder and after looking at him he could tell they were father and son space distorted he teleported both of them to the arena stage. Mu yong and the others arrive later he asked
" Where is he "
The third elder pointed to the arena stage and they all went in when the celestial heaven sect reached the arena stage the transfer array glowed again the celestial sword sect had arrived Wang yi and Wang xuan also came with their father all of them they had brought five others as the invite said they could bring as much as ten people
When they reached the arena stage The competition arena stood at the center of the Imperial City like a monument built for both glory and power. A massive circular stage made of ancient white stone occupied the heart of the arena, reinforced with countless formations that prevented the battles from damaging the surroundings.
The combat platform was wide enough for dozens of cultivators to fight at once, with a raised boundary surrounding it that shimmered faintly whenever powerful techniques were unleashed. Around the stage were several layers of seating ordinary spectators filled the lower stone terraces that curved around the arena, while wealthy nobles and influential families sat in higher sections with better views.
Above them were elegant viewing terraces reserved for important figures, each decorated with banners representing their status. The five great sects were not placed among the common audience but were given their own elevated platforms positioned around the arena, each one a grand terrace with seats for sect masters, elders, disciples, and chosen participants.
These platforms allowed the sects to display their prestige while watching the battles. The Imperial Family held the highest and most luxurious terrace, located directly above the arena at the center, with the Emperor seated on a throne-like chair and his children beside him, overlooking everything below.
Their terrace was decorated with golden pillars and imperial symbols, showing that although the sects held great power, the authority of the empire still stood above them. The entire arena was designed so that every person—from common citizens to powerful cultivators and the Emperor himself—could witness the competition, but the arrangement of the seats clearly showed the hierarchy of the cultivation world.
When the celestial heaven sect reached the competition arena they looked around they were all looking for one person if they found him mu yong said
" He's dead"
The old geezer Wu Chan and his daughter looked at him as if if he tried it they would kill him yingyi at this time was no longer in tune with her father she had fought him several times because of zhou yu and after seeing the faces of his family members turn to dread he calmed himself he said
" Fine I won't do anything to him but he should not think he can return to the sect "
Immediately a voice came from one of the platforms it said
" And why would I ever want to return to that place "
They all looked up at the platform and the person they were looking for was sitting carefreely as if they could do nothing to him he rested his elbow on the chair arms and put his heads on his fist he looked down on them like a superior cultivators looking down on ants and after that comment killing Intent was shown in mu yong eyes
But he felt it killing Intent was also directed at him he looked to the side and saw sect master xie laochen they knew each other and they had never fought against one another before Wu Chan said
" He has backing let it go or"
But before he could finish speaking another figure yelled his name "zhou yu!!!!!!!" It was the sect master of the celestial sword sect and after seeing the junior that killed his youngest son he did not wait for permission he shot straight up to the blood heaven sect platform he wanted to grab zhou yu but sect master xie met with his palm and as both had completed their heavenly layer both force struggled before dispersing the sword sect master staggered two steps back but he was still in the air
Sect master xie held himself within the platform but he staggered a step back the celestial sword sect master said
" Get out of the way , I want that boy he killed my youngest "
Sect master xie said
" And why do all of you think you can kill my disciple in front of me , is this your Eastern continent if he killed your youngest it only means your youngest wasn't capable take a step back or else suppression will come from all sides this is the central plains not your Eastern continent!!!!".
A sudden voice came from the side it was the emperor he had watched from his platform and was talking towards the celestial sword sect master the sect master of the spirit butterfly sect was a woman and she had also watched these three were the major powers of the central plains the emperor said
" I don't always with the blood heaven sect but today they're right this is not your Eastern continent but the central plains take a step back or else "
The master of the celestial sword sect looked at this three people as they had all completed their heavenly layer he closed his eyes and calmed himself there was nothing he could do to zhou yu today he went towards his platform Xiao fan said
" Junior brother you have quite the grudge".
