Chapter 620

On the thirteenth day of the Falling Cloud Sect's internal trials, the final round of selection matches had reached its end. WwW. feiazw. CoM Net

But at this moment, inside a pavilion halfway up the main peak, seven or eight Core Formation stage cultivators were gathered together, discussing something.

Two of them were the two peak masters of Heaven Spring Peak, the middle-aged man surnamed Xin and the gray-clothed old man with a somewhat ferocious face; the others also looked quite formidable.

"Regarding the team leader for this time, is there still no one among you Junior Brothers willing to take the initiative?" A blue-robed old man with flowing white whiskers and a wrinkled face asked with a slight frown.

"Hmph! Senior Brother Feng, the Sword Trial Assembly is said to be a joint trial of the three sects, but every time it's our two families that return defeated, while that Ancient Sword Gate gets to show off their face. And the team leader from the Ancient Sword Gate this time is definitely that sharp-tongued guy Jiang Yun again; I don't want to suffer for nothing." A middle-aged man with a lazy appearance and two small mustaches on his lips replied nonchalantly.

"Exactly! I also heard that the Ancient Sword Gate took in a disciple with the 'Nine Spirit Sword Body' a few years ago, and this time they will definitely send him to participate in the assembly. With this, what is there left to compare in the Sword Trial Assembly? Although we have some disciples with special constitutions, compared to theirs, we are not just a little bit behind. Moreover, I heard that the Hundred Crafts Academy also took in a direct descendant of the Shangguan family this time, and it's said that while still in the Qi Condensation stage, he already used a self-refined magic tool to defeat his family elders. I'm afraid they will be very hard to deal with too!" Another old man with a sallow complexion shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, the white-whiskered old man showed a look of dissatisfaction.

"Two Junior Brothers, that may be true. The Sword Trial Assembly has indeed become a demonstration of the Ancient Sword Gate's power toward our two sects, but who can blame them for being powerful and stronger than us. If our sect doesn't send disciples to participate in the assembly, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get that quarter of the alcohol liquid. Moreover, this is also likely to make the Ancient Sword Gate harbor hostility toward our Falling Cloud Sect, which is not conducive to our sect's long-term development in Mount Mount Yunmeng. After all, there is more than one or two other sects eyeing our three sects of Mount Mount Yunmeng. Our three sects cannot let others take advantage of us." The white-whiskered old man said with a solemn expression.

"Since Senior Brother Feng has said so, count me in as a team leader. Anyway, I haven't seen Elder Chang Zheng of the Hundred Crafts Academy for a long time. It wouldn't be bad to chat for a bit while I'm at it." A red-shirted old man with a square face and upright appearance, sitting opposite the white-whiskered old man, suddenly spoke up and took on the matter.

"Junior Brother Duan, as the master of Fire Cloud Peak, you have many disciples under your command; leaving like this might be inappropriate." The white-whiskered old man surnamed Feng hesitated when he saw this person speak.

"It doesn't matter. Junior Brother Li is still left at Fire Cloud Peak, so there won't be any problems. Besides, it's not like I'm leaving Mount Mount Yunmeng; it's just a flight from the east vein to the west vein, only a day's journey." The red-shirted old man said noncommittally.

Hearing the other party say this, the white-whiskered old man didn't insist further and nodded to show his agreement. Then, as his gaze swept across the faces of the others, it finally fell on the gray-clothed old man with the somewhat ferocious face, and he asked slowly:

"Junior Brother Yu, I know you don't manage much at Heaven Spring Peak; how about you assist Junior Brother Duan this time? Senior Brother Xin, you don't have any objections, do you?" The white-whiskered old man said the last sentence while turning his face toward the middle-aged man surnamed Xin.

"Of course there's no problem. As long as Junior Brother Yu is willing himself." The middle-aged man surnamed Xin replied with a faint smile.

The gray-clothed old man's cold face twitched upon hearing this, and after a long while, he said very briefly:

"Fine, I'll go!"

Hearing this, the white-whiskered old man showed a look of joy, nodded, and then continued:

"For the team leaders this time, Junior Brother Duan will be the primary, with Junior Brother Yu and Junior Sister Song of White Phoenix Peak as assistants. Once the final round is finished today, you will gather these thirty disciples and give them some pointers. Perhaps we still have a chance in this assembly. After all, among this batch of disciples, there are also a few candidates with not-weak strength. We should be able to compete with the Ancient Sword Gate and the Hundred Crafts Academy."

"Junior Sister Song is also participating in the assembly? How come I didn't know? If that's the case, I'll take Junior Brother Yu's place for this Sword Trial Assembly." A cultivator who had been hiding in the corner of the room with a slick appearance said loudly with some shock.

The other cultivators in the pavilion were also stirred by these words, and two or three of them immediately showed looks of regret.

"Hmph! Junior Brother Meng, what do you mean by this? Just now I spoke for a long time, and I didn't see you stand up and say a word. Now that you hear Junior Sister Song is going, you immediately jump out. To tell you the truth, the condition for Junior Sister Song's willingness to lead the team this time was that I was not allowed to leak the news of her going to everyone first. Otherwise, with Junior Sister's temper, how could she easily leave White Phoenix Peak." The white-whiskered old man said with a sinking expression.

This old man's cultivation had already reached the late Core Formation stage, while the slick-looking cultivator was only at the early Core Formation stage.

Therefore, after the old man's expression changed, the latter immediately lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to argue further.

The few others who were tempted looked at each other in dismay and also found it difficult to say anything more.

Just at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the house, and then a man's voice came from outside.

"Reporting to Master and several Junior Uncles, the final round of matches has ended completely. A total of three Foundation Establishment stage disciples and twenty-one Qi Condensation stage cultivators have been selected. The disciple has brought the list."

"Oh! Since it's out, send it in. By the way, let the Junior Uncles take a look too." The white-whiskered old man said with a relaxed expression upon hearing this.

"As you command!" The man outside replied respectfully. Then he pushed open the door and walked in.

It was a man in his thirties at the late Foundation Establishment stage, with an upright appearance and a tall stature.

"This is the list and information of the twenty-four final winners." The man pulled a white jade slip from his bosom and presented it to the old man with both hands.

"I'll take a look first!" The old man nodded slightly, took the jade slip, and scanned it briefly with his spiritual sense.

"Eh?" The old man only looked at it twice before a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with this list?" The red-shirted cultivator asked with curiosity as his expression shifted.

The others also looked at the old man with surprise.

"Nothing? You Junior Brothers take a look too!" After saying this, the white-whiskered old man's expression returned to normal, and then he threw the jade slip to the old man with a sallow complexion beside him.

After this person looked at the jade slip, he also showed a look of surprise, but without saying anything, he handed the jade slip to the others.

Not long after, the jade slip had been looked at by everyone, and everyone's expression was somewhat uncertain.

And after the middle-aged man surnamed Xin of Heaven Spring Peak looked at the jade slip, the look of surprise in his eyes flickered even more frequently.

"I really didn't expect this. This time, Heaven Spring Peak alone has six people selected, which makes the rest of us feel very ashamed! It seems Senior Brother Xin really knows how to train disciples!" The middle-aged man with two small mustaches sighed and said slowly.

"It seems Senior Brother Xin is determined to win this Sword Trial Assembly, which is why he spent so much effort to cultivate these disciples!" The slick-looking cultivator also said somewhat sourly; his Hidden Sword Peak only had three people selected this time, which could be considered a great loss of face.

"No, there is absolutely no such thing. This time, Heaven Spring Peak has so many people selected, which even I found quite unexpected. However, the others are fine, but how come there are two at the tenth layer of Qi Condensation. If I remember correctly, these two disciples named Han Li and Du Dong only joined the sect about a year ago. They can also enter the final round? This is a bit strange. Junior Nephew Gao, how did the two of them win?" The middle-aged man surnamed Xin pondered for a moment before asking with an unchanged expression.

The man who had just entered the room, upon being asked by this Junior Uncle, immediately replied:

"The method of these two winning is nothing special. That Junior Nephew named Du Dong possesses a top-tier ice-attribute magic tool of great power. This unknown magic tool is both offensive and defensive, and it complements his cultivation technique. Every opponent who fought him was frozen stiff on the ground in a single encounter. After several rounds, no one could withstand a single blow from him."

"Oh! What kind of magic tool is it? Describe it for us to hear." The middle-aged man with two small mustaches interrupted with interest.

"It's a wheel-like magic tool, about a foot in diameter, with a crescent moon pattern carved on it. Once deployed, it flashes with white light, and can instantly stimulate an ice-attribute barrier, or spray out cold energy like a giant bird to attack."

"This seems to be the 'Cold Moon Wheel', the town-clan treasure of the Du family that was completely wiped out two hundred years ago. Is this Du Dong a descendant of the Du family?" The middle-aged man with the mustache turned his eyes and said with some surprise.

"Hmm! It's very possible. After all, the Du family was also a not-so-small family back then. It's not impossible for some direct descendants to have escaped this disaster and lived under assumed names ever since. They probably felt that so many years had passed, and the original enemies wouldn't notice them anymore. That's why they wanted to re-emerge." The white-whiskered old man stroked his beard and said leisurely.
