Chapter 973

For a long time, the quota given by the Imperial Sects had been firmly controlled by the five major families. Some smaller forces didn't even know about it.

The five great clans would decide on the allocation of the quota by sparring.

No matter how it was divided, the quota would always be in their hands and wouldn't fall into the hands of outsiders.

Therefore, the five major families had been prosperous for a long time and no one could shake their position.

But this time, they didn't know what was going on.

The nearby four-star sect 'Sky River Sect' had sent someone to change the rules and even personally presided over the competition.

The five major families felt uneasy.

Once the top ten were taken by outsiders, the status of their families would be affected.

Of course, the possibility of that was very small.

The five major families were deeply rooted here and had a large number of people, so they still had a big advantage.

"So, these two people are from four-star sects."

Chen Yu glanced at the woman in silver and the square-faced middle-aged man.

With such an identity, no wonder the five major families were so respectful and obedient.

"Next, let's talk about the rules."

The square-faced man said.

The five major families, the other smaller forces, and the rogue cultivators all had a solemn expression.

Most people were just here to join in the fun, but after knowing the inside story, everyone was envious of the 'quota' reward.

That was a quota to enter a top four-star sect in the Origin World, an opportunity to change their fate.

"Because the rules have changed, the competition method needs to be changed as well, or else it will be too troublesome."

The square-faced man's every move affected everyone's mind.

The higher-ups of the five major families thought that if you didn't change the rules, there wouldn't be any trouble.

Of course, they didn't dare to say that.

The square-faced man suddenly pointed at the foggy area ahead.

"This is a formation that I have set up. It covers an area of five thousand li, and there are twenty tokens inside. All participants will enter the formation to search for the tokens and fight for them. The time limit is three days, and the top ten will be rewarded according to their ranking."

The square-faced man explained the new competition method in a simple sentence.

Everyone would fight for the twenty tokens and the time limit was three days.

Winning the tokens might not be considered a victory.

Only those ranked in the top ten would be rewarded.

"Does anyone have any objections?"

The square-faced man was very calm, giving off an indisputable tone.

Everyone was silent and no one made a sound.

Although everything was done according to the rules, the square-faced middle-aged man was one of the higher-ups of the Great Emperor Sect and the host of this event. If anyone offended him, he could strip them of their qualifications with a single word. If anyone caught his eye, they could get a spot without participating in the competition.

"Since all of you agree, why don't you quickly enter and fight for the tokens?"

The loud and clear voice shook the heavens.

Shua –

Near the Yuling River, people shot out one after another toward the dark area in the distance.

The token was hidden inside, and the person who entered first would have the advantage.

"Charge!"

Yang Dingguang let out a low roar. The surface of his body emitted golden rays like a small golden sun as he charged forward!

Many of them were sent flying by Yang Dingguang.

"Chen Yu, I will kill you!"

He Tianxiong's sinister gaze remained fixed on Chen Yu.

His arm was crippled because of Chen Yu.

When he found out that Chen Yu was only a disciple of the Yang family with a different surname, he was even more furious. He felt as if he had been ruthlessly humiliated by a servant. It could be said to be the greatest humiliation in his life.

"This Five Mountain Martial Competition is a little interesting!"

Inside the pavilion, Xu Liusu's figure instantly vanished.

If it was according to the previous rules, one-on-one sparring wouldn't be interesting to him at all.

But this time, the five great families, as well as many small family forces, and rogue cultivators were all participating.

The intensity of the competition was unprecedented!

Any accident could happen.

Only like this would it be a little challenging.

Shua!

Xu Liusu was like a sharp sword, his entire body exuding an endless sharpness. Everyone nearby felt a strong threat, as if a sword was placed against their necks. They quickly avoided him.

"The five great families have some good seedlings."

The square-faced middle-aged man glanced at Xu Liusu.

After obtaining the praise of an Emperor Sect powerhouse, the higher-ups of the Xu family were all radiant. They were determined to win first place in this Five Mountain Martial Competition.

Less than a moment later.

The geniuses arrived at a dangerous mountain shrouded in fog.

Not far away.

"Ahhh …"

When a man entered this area, he was blocked by an array. He was sent flying dozens of feet away and vomited a mouthful of blood.

"You are over a hundred years old. You are not qualified. You dare to fish in troubled waters in front of me? Are you tired of living? "

The square-faced middle-aged man's cold voice caused everyone to shiver.

Buzz!

Chen Yu successfully passed through the array and arrived at a pitch-black ancient forest.

The five great families felt greatly restricted here, especially their vision, which was limited to only a few dozen meters.

"It's so dark here. How am I supposed to find the token …"

Chen Yu felt a little troubled.

The others also had the same thought.

…

"It's finally starting."

The five great families and many small forces were feeling uneasy.

The competition for the slots this time was too chaotic. Anything could happen. Even the forces that were usually inferior to the five great families could secretly make a move.

Among the five great families, the Xu family, which was the strongest overall, was not as confident as before.

Apart from the chaotic competition, there were too many uncertainties in that area.

"This area was once a dangerous place. Although there hasn't been any big trouble recently, it hasn't been peaceful either."

Elder Yang Yi muttered to himself.

"Lord, isn't the competition a little too chaotic? We don't even know what those people are doing in there. It won't be good if something goes wrong."

An upper echelon of the Xu family whispered to the square-faced middle-aged man.

The square-faced middle-aged man smiled. "The top ten will be decided in three days. What kind of trouble can there be?"

The hearts of the upper echelons of the five great families trembled.

The upper echelons of the Emperor Sect only wanted results. They didn't care about the lives of their descendants. Even if there was a murder inside, they wouldn't care.

The upper echelons of the five great families were dissatisfied with the square-faced middle-aged man.

These slots were originally in their hands. But this time, they might fall into the hands of outsiders. It was hard to guarantee the survival of their descendants.

Even a genius like Yang Dingguang would die if he was besieged!

"Uncle Chen, which upper echelon gave the order for you to come here personally to host such a small event?"

The silver-dressed lady asked.

She wasn't interested in this competition at all.

Even she wasn't interested, let alone the square-faced middle-aged man.

But what she saw was that the square-faced middle-aged man seemed to be very interested.

"Why would the upper echelons of the sect care about such a small matter in such a remote place?"

The square-faced middle-aged man smiled.

"Not the upper echelon of the sect? Then … it's a family? "

The silver-dressed lady couldn't believe it.

Her family didn't have anything to do with this place?

"Uncle Chen, if I'm not wrong, your action this time shouldn't be for the five great families, but for someone?"

The silver-dressed lady saw that the square-faced middle-aged man refused to say more, so she continued to ask.

"As expected of the genius of our Lin family. Smart and quick-witted."

The square-faced middle-aged man praised the other party.

Compared to praise, the silver-dressed lady was more interested in other information. She continued to ask, "Who?"

"Guess."

The words of the square-faced middle-aged man made the silver-dressed lady furious.

But since the square-faced middle-aged man didn't deny it, then it might really be for someone. This made the silver-dressed lady even more curious. Who … was that person?

Suddenly.

In that dark area, a faint silver light flashed.

"Someone found the token."

The square-faced middle-aged man smiled.

"What?"

The faces of the major families changed.

The token could glow, and the brilliance was so bright!

It was too dark earlier, so it was hard to find the token.

But now, once the token was found, it would simply be a hot potato that would only attract trouble.

"This … this will only make the competition even more tragic!"

The higher-ups of the Chang family were a little agitated.

However, the higher-ups of the Imperial Sect were indifferent, as if they were looking forward to a good show.

…

In the dark area.

Chen Yu wasn't in a hurry to find the token.

He had three days and twenty tokens, so there was no need to rush.

Suddenly.

The mysterious heart felt the aura of a living being approaching.

Boom!

There was a sudden explosion in the darkness. When Chen Yu reacted, he saw a dark claw surging with water light, with a cold and tyrannical aura, appearing twenty to thirty meters away.

At such a distance, it arrived in an instant.

Peng!

Chen Yu instinctively swung his arms and punched out fiercely, shattering the Serene Water Claw.

"I'm still not used to the environment here."

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown.

After the enemy's attack, the surroundings instantly returned to silence, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Where did you come from? Why are you so wretched, hiding in the dark and launching a sneak attack? If you have the ability, come out and fight me head-on."

Chen Yu shouted.

"Hehe, as long as I can kill you, I don't mind even if it's a vicious scheme!"

A cold voice reverberated in the surroundings.

In fact, He Tianxiong had investigated Chen Yu before.

He knew that the other party was the number one of the Yang clan, so he didn't underestimate him.

"He Tianxiong?"

Chen Yu guessed the enemy.

Boom!

He suddenly punched out, and a blazing white ball of light swept out, but it didn't hit He Tianxiong.

The other party was the number one genius of the He clan, and was extremely powerful. Moreover, he was hiding in the dark, so he had the advantage.

Chen Yu wasn't anxious.

Although He Tianxiong was a little difficult to deal with, he wasn't afraid.

"With my current Celestial Body, even a peak initial Star Condensation Realm cultivator would find it hard to injure me."

Chen Yu was extremely confident in his Celestial Body.

In this half a year of seclusion, he had already opened 887 star acupoints, and the first level was about to be completed!

Suddenly.

Chen Yu felt something approaching. He turned around and saw a black token floating over.

"This is … a token?"

"It can move on its own?"

Chen Yu was completely stunned. He really didn't expect this.

Not only could the token move on its own, it even floated towards Chen Yu, as if there was something on his body that attracted the token.

He stretched out his hand, and grabbed the token.

Weng!

In the next instant, the token suddenly released a bright silver radiance, illuminating the surrounding 75-85 meters.

Chen Yu was no longer surprised when he saw the token fly over by itself.

But He Tianxiong, who was not far away, jumped up and shouted, "Token!"
