Chapter 929: ostracized (1)
” The stronger you are, the higher your status in the Maple Wood Sect. In the future, you will receive more resources. Let’s go. ”
Lan Xiao took a glance at Li Lingtian and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then shifted his gaze away and said a few words.
Then, he led a group of people out of Lanling Valley.
There were ten Martial Artists, ten Warrior Spirits, ten Martial Kings, and even Martial Grandmasters and Martial Emperors participating in the competition.
Li Lingtian was the only one who did not participate in the competition as he did not have any cultivation. He was only there to watch the show.
The Maple Wood Sect was one of the four most powerful sects in the Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range.
There were seven major powers below, which were the branches of the Maple Wood Sect. They would compete once a year to check if the strength of the branches below had improved.
The status of the seven branches could only be compared to the outer sect, and all the competition places were only in the square of the outer sect.
The Maple Wood Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, but most of them were low-level outer sect disciples.
In the Maple Wood Sect’s view, only the truly strong were the elites of the sect. The rest were the weakest.
The Lanling Valley was a thousand miles away from the Maple Sect. However, for a Warrior, a quick flight would only take them an hour. Li Lingtian did not have a cultivation base so he was carried by Lan Xiaoman on her flying sword.
By the time Lan Ling Valley arrived at the Maple Wood Sect, the other six forces had already arrived.
The six forces were Green Peak Valley, Water Moon Gorge, Zhang Clan, Rising Sky Manor, Golden Wing Manor, and Hao Yang Sect.
Among the seven forces under the Maple Wood Sect, the Lanling Valley was the weakest. Otherwise, they would not have been bullied by the other forces.
Thousands of martial artists had already gathered in the square. There were martial artists from the seven major factions participating in the competition, some martial artists watching the battle, and some outer sect disciples of the Maple Sect.
” Lan Xiao, I thought your Lan Ling Valley had given up. ”
A middle-aged man stood up and said loudly as soon as the people from Lan Ling Valley arrived at the square.
His voice was filled with disdain and he didn’t hold back at all as he called Lan Xiao by his name.
“As a branch of the Maple Wood Sect, how can we not come to such a grand event?”
“I just didn’t expect Qingfeng Valley to come so early this time. I believe they’re full of confidence.”
Lan Xiao was startled, but a faint smile remained on his face. Without the slightest hint of anger, he slowly made his way towards the stairs in the middle of the square.
This square was the center of the competition area. On both sides of the square, there were independent stairs where the seven major factions rested. In the middle of the square was the Maple Wood Sect. This also showed the lofty status of the Maple Wood Sect.
Lan Xiao arrived at the center of the plaza and saluted the powerhouses on the Maple Sect’s steps with a fist salute. He then sat down in front of the Lanling Valley’s table while Li Lingtian and the others stood behind Lan Xiao.
Lan Ling Valley was also at the last step of the seven steps. It was also the weakest among the seven forces.
Li Lingtian remained expressionless and completely ignored the Qingfeng Valley’s Martial Honor powerhouse.
When he arrived here, he had already sized up the forces of the entire square’s martial artists.
Qingfeng Valley’s Valley Master, Bai Lantian, was a fourth level Supreme Realm expert. The disciples under him were also extremely powerful. In this square, their forces were definitely the strongest.
At the center of the Maple Wood Sect were five fourth level Supreme Realm elders.
Five Level Four powerhouses were already invincible existences in this square.
“It’s the same whether you come or not.”
“It’s just an increase in casualties and jokes.”
Bai Lantian from the Water Moon Gorge had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Lan Xiao with disdain. He was a third level Martial Honored Realm expert and didn’t put Lan Xiao in his eyes at all. When he looked at the strength of the Lanling Valley disciples, his eyes were filled with disdain.
After Bai Lantian finished speaking, the disciples behind him, as well as the disciples of the Maple Wood Sect, could not help but laugh.
The disciples of Lan Ling Valley were embarrassed and angry. However, in a world where the strong were respected, strength was the absolute principle. Lan Ling Valley was indeed the weakest, so there was no reason to refute.
” Indeed. Whether he came or not, it’s the same thing. Senior Brother Bai shouldn’t have forgotten that a genius disciple died last year, right? ”
” My Lan Ling Valley knows our own limits. I’m just here to watch the show. I want to see if any of your disciples are talented. ”
Although Lan Xiao was smiling widely, his eyes were filled with rage.
Of the seven great forces, Lan Ling Valley had been oppressed for decades.
If it wasn’t for the appearance of the masked woman in green last time, Lanling Valley might have disappeared.
“It’s done.”
At this moment, one of the five elders from the Maple Wood Sect stood up and swept his gaze across the entire square. His entire body emitted a terrifying aura as he spoke loudly.
Instantly, the entire square fell silent.
Sima Haifan, the Maple Wood Sect’s outer sect elder, fifth level Martial Honored Realm, the host of this competition.
Looking at the competition between the branches below, he revealed a displeased expression. Although the world was ruled by the strong, he did not want the Maple Wood Sect to have internal strife.
” This competition will be the same as last year. The top three Martial Artists, top three Warrior Spirits, top three Martial Kings, top three Martial Grandmasters, and top three Martial Emperors will be decided. ”
“From there, the rankings of the seven major powers will be decided.”
“If you are not convinced, you can have a competition with the disciples of the sect.”
Sima Hai Fan looked at the quiet situation in the square and revealed a satisfied expression.
Then, he said loudly and explained the rules of the competition. Although it was only a small matter, there would definitely be casualties when the competition really started. Therefore, the injured party could not seek revenge.
“Now, let the competition between the martial artists begin.”
After Sima Hai Fan finished his announcement, he gave the order for the competition to begin. Immediately, the entire square was in an uproar.
Most of the people on this square were low-level martial artists. They were naturally extremely excited about such a competition.
Moreover, there would be a competition between Martial Arts Grandmasters and Martial Emperors. This was a rare competition.
Senior Brother Li, do you think my sword scripture is really that powerful? ”
A competition between martial artists was naturally not attractive to a Martial King like Lan Xiaoman.
Not only him, but the other experts were also not interested.
Not only was Li Lingtian uninterested in the Warrior’s competition, he was not even interested in the competition between Martial Emperors, Martial Supremes, or even Martial Emperors and Martial Saints.
“You’ll know when you try.”
Li Lingtian closed his eyes after he finished his sentence and began to rest.
He was completely indifferent to the fight outside.
After a full hour, the martial artist competition was completed.
In the second hour, the Warrior Spirits ‘competition was completed.
In the two-hour competition, the top three would not be able to enter the Lanling Valley.
Li Lingtian was getting more and more satisfied with his temperament. He had to wait for two hours in boredom.
However, during the Warrior Spirit Competition, many people began to discuss the matter. This was because Li Lingtian’s aura was not at all like a Warrior. It was the first time they had seen such a thing.
He was satisfied with participating in the Warrior’s competition, but he did not participate in the Warrior Spirit’s competition. This immediately attracted the attention of many Warriors.
“He can’t be a Martial King, right?”
” Could it be that he’s really trash who can’t cultivate? ”
“Looks like he’s a good-for-nothing who can’t cultivate.”
” I didn’t expect Lan Ling Valley to bring such a person here. Haven’t you lost enough face? ”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. There’s no one in Lanling Valley. Just take it that we’re here to watch the show.”
The disciples of the other six forces were discussing non-stop. Even the Martial Arts Grandmasters and Martial Emperors were curious. A few Supreme Realm elders also glanced at Li Lingtian.
There was no cultivation at all. Surprise appeared on their faces. This was the first time they had seen someone without any cultivation.
” Junior Brother Lan Xiao, the one beside you has hidden his cultivation quite well. Even we can’t tell. Haha. ”
Golden Wing Villa’s Supreme Jin Hao looked at Lan Xiao and pointed at Li Lingtian as he spoke loudly.
After saying that, he laughed loudly.
Lan Xiao, you’re really amazing. You even managed to find such a top-grade disciple. ”
” It’s really hard to find in the Divine Martial Continent. ”
Zhang Lingtian, the only branch of the Zhang family under the Maple Wood Sect, laughed out loud when he heard Jin Hao’s words.
Instantly, the people from the other forces laughed.
However, Lan Xiao did not say a word, but his expression was extremely unsightly.
Li Lingtian was the only one with a calm expression. He completely ignored the other Warriors ‘words as if they were mere noise.
Li Lingtian became the center of attention in an instant. A person who could not cultivate was indeed looked down upon in the Divine Martial Continent.
“Senior Brother Li.”
Lan Xiaoman felt terrible when she saw everyone laughing at Li Lingtian.
However, their Lanling Valley was too weak. Li Lingtian’s inability to cultivate was indeed looked down upon.
Now, she was worried that Li Lingtian would not be able to take it, so she looked at him with concern.
“What’s wrong?”
“You want to compete?”
Li Lingtian said lightly. He was stunned for a moment before he turned to look at Lan Xiaoman.
This expression made countless martial artists furious. In front of such mockery, he was actually ignored. It was simply a slap to the face of the person who mocked him.
“Yes, I am.”
” But all the Martial King Realm warriors who are here are at Rank-8 or Rank-9. ”
“I don’t have any confidence left.”
Lan Xiaoman was stunned when she heard Li Lingtian’s reply.
Li Lingtian’s expression showed that he did not seem to care about the discussions of others. This way, she could rest assured. Since Li Lingtian pretended not to hear her, she would not dwell on the matter.
” Don’t worry. The purpose of a competition is not to compete with others, but to break through oneself. Only by defeating oneself can one truly win. ”
Li Lingtian gently patted Lan Xiaoman’s shoulder as a rare smile appeared on his face.
Instantly, Lan Xiaoman was stunned as she stared at Li Lingtian in a daze.
This was the first time she had seen Li Lingtian’s expression change. Furthermore, after seeing this smile, she found it to be so charming.
She had not noticed Li Lingtian before but when she saw his smile, it was truly mesmerizing.
” The competition has begun. Give it your all. ”
Li Lingtian looked at Lan Xiaoman’s dazed expression and spoke indifferently. His expression was wooden and there was no longer a smile on his face. His voice was icy cold.
