Su Lingyuan was, as always, overflowing with vitality.
"Senior Brother."
The Lu sisters also responded with smiles.
"Let's go! Junior Brother—today is the day for you to steal the spotlight!"
With a wave of her small hand, Su Lingyuan looked even more eager than Chu Ge himself, the person concerned.
Chu Ge merely smiled and nodded, then left the hall together with the three girls.
...
Taihuang Sacred Land, Inner Sect.
Today, the Inner Sect could be said to be livelier than ever before.
Especially the massive martial arena located at the very center of the Inner Sect—its surroundings were packed with people.
"Hiss, aren't there a bit too many factions that came to observe today?!"
"Look—on those flying boats! So many beautiful female cultivators!"
"Zhenhai Imperial Dynasty, Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, Yunmiao (Cloudmist) Pavilion… all first-rate or even top-tier forces!"
Flying boats crossed the sky and slowly descended onto the high platforms beside the martial arena, sparking shock and animated discussion among the disciples.
Today's scene could truly be called unprecedented. It greatly broadened the horizons of many disciples—after all, it was rare to see so many major forces arrive by flying boats at once.
On the high platform, the Taihuang core elder Xu Xiuzhu was smiling as he received several first-rate forces.
Beside him stood a few other core elders as well, clearly giving these visiting factions ample respect.
The leaders of these factions were all influential figures within their respective powers—every one of them was a Great Power Realm cultivator.
Behind them stood groups of young disciples.
At this moment, those young disciples were also scanning their surroundings with curiosity.
The Taihuang Sacred Land, as a power founded by a supreme sovereign,
Was undoubtedly a top-tier existence among top-tier powers in Lingzhou (Spirit Continent)—so influential that a single stomp of its foot could make the entire continent tremble.
Even across the whole Eastern Profound Domain, there were very few forces that could rival it. It stood firmly at the apex of the pyramid.
Naturally, the disciples of Taihuang Sacred Land were often regarded by the younger generations of other factions as benchmarks—or even as targets to be chased and surpassed.
And among this group of young people, there were several exceptionally beautiful women who stood out like cranes among chickens compared to the others, currently surveying their surroundings.
Unlike the simple curiosity of the rest, these women seemed to be searching for someone.
However, both the platforms and the area around the martial arena were simply far too crowded at the moment.
'So many people… I wonder what kind of person that Chu Ge really is.'
Within the camp of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land,
A delicate and pretty young girl, after searching in vain for a while, thought with some regret in her heart.
She wore her long hair in a high ponytail. Her figure was tall and slender. Dressed in white, close-fitting battle attire that traced her graceful curves, she carried a longsword at her waist, exuding the dashing and valiant aura of a swordswoman.
Beside her, a handsome young man had been paying close attention to her all this time. Upon seeing the searching look in her eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Qinghui, are you looking for something?"
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on her flawless, delicate face, affection clearly flowing in his eyes.
Zhao Qinghui, upon hearing this, felt rather displeased with the young man in her heart. But considering that they were fellow disciples, she did not deliberately ignore him.
"I've heard that not long ago, the Taihuang Sacred Lord accepted a personal disciple—someone who possesses a flawless sacred physique, and who is said to be extraordinarily handsome, with the bearing of an exiled immortal. I'm simply a bit curious and wanted to see him for myself."
Hearing this, the young man merely gave a light chuckle and then said, "What 'bearing of an exiled immortal'? That's nothing but rumors exaggerated through hearsay. At most, he's just a bit more handsome than ordinary people."
"As cultivators, we should still speak with strength, not with looks. After all, no matter how good-looking he is, his opponents won't go easy on him just because of that."
Though he spoke with a smile, that smile faintly revealed a trace of contempt.
