“Who is this man?” Upon seeing the rugged man, Li Changqing didn’t recognize him. However, noticing that the man also had the cultivation of a Grandmaster, he knew he was no pushover.

“Sword Venerate, this man is Yu Fengxian, the sect leader of the Iron Saber Sect.” An elder from Zhanhe Residence introduced him to Li Changqing.

“I see.” Before coming, Li Changqing had researched the sects that would be attending from the Eastern Desolate Land. Although there were many sects attending, only a few were memorable to Li Changqing.

Those he remembered were the sects with a Grandmaster. The Iron Saber Sect was one of them, with two Grandmasters.

Among them, Sect Leader Yu Fengxian was a well-known figure in the Eastern Desolate Land. It was rumored that he was a madman when it came to practicing the saber, and his strength was formidable. He loved to challenge people everywhere. Basically, anyone who saw Yu Fengxian coming would get a headache. He was the type who would shamelessly linger at your doorstep if you didn’t accept his challenge.

Li Changqing didn’t expect to encounter this man here. He saw Yu Fengxian leap into the air, flying up and flashing several times in mid-air, as if stepping on the wind. A few breaths later, he landed on the black crow of Zhanhe Residence.

Upon seeing this unexpected guest, Li Changqing took a closer look. He looked like a simple farmer, not at all like a sect leader.

If he were described as a village chief, Li Changqing thought it would be more fitting.

“Hahaha, I’ve long heard of the Qinglian Sword Sovereign’s reputation. Today is the first time I’ve seen you. That sword just now was really beautiful.” Yu Fengxian unabashedly sized up Li Changqing from head to toe.

He gave off a very straightforward impression.

“I’ve also long admired Sect Leader Yu of the Iron Saber Sect.” Li Changqing also responded with a polite remark.

“Hehe.” Yu Fengxian seemed to ignore Li Changqing’s polite words. There was a hint of suppressed fighting spirit in his eyes. “I thought there was no one in the Eastern Desolate Land who could spar with me. Then the Qinglian Sword Sovereign appeared. I really want to have a match with you.”

“Huh?” What a madman. He wants to fight as soon as we meet. Li Changqing was somewhat speechless. Can’t we interact civilly?

Can’t we discuss poetry, talk about ambitions, share dreams, and chat about the distant future?

“I came here to participate in the Ghost Devil trial, not to fight.” Li Changqing directly declined.

“What a pity.” Yu Fengxian sighed lightly. “Then let’s wait until the Ghost Devil trial is over.”

“What I mean is, there are many experts participating in the Ghost Devil trial this time. If you’re interested, you can challenge others. For example, Xue Qianbai from Dao Mountain Ancient Land is not bad. You can fight him.” Li Changqing directly passed the buck to Xue Qianbai.

After all, he wasn’t sure about the strength of Yu Fengxian from the Iron Saber Sect. If they really started fighting and he got injured, what would he do?

He shouldn’t rashly make a move against someone he’s unfamiliar with. On the flying black crow, Xue Qianbai, who had been closing his eyes to rest, slowly opened his eyes. His sword-like eyebrows furrowed. For some reason, he had a feeling of discomfort.

It felt like someone was scheming against him or talking behind his back.

Who could it be? Xue Qianbai trusted his intuition. Could it be someone from the Longevity Sect who was scheming against him?

With the Ghost Devil trial being so important this time, could it be that the Longevity Sect also wanted to get involved?

“Hahaha.” Yu Fengxian sat down directly, not considering himself an outsider, and laughed. “That’s not interesting. I’ve fought them all. I’ve challenged almost all the Grandmasters in the Eastern Desolate Land who are somewhat capable. I’ve also fought Xue Qianbai. I don’t want to fight him. I can’t beat him.” Yu Fengxian waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t want to fight Xue Qianbai.

“Then go find Zhao Beiming.” Li Changqing recommended another ‘good person’ to Yu Fengxian.

“I’ve fought him too. I don’t like fighting him. I can’t beat him.” Yu Fengxian shook his head again. Hearing that Yu Fengxian couldn’t beat Zhao Beiming, Li Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn’t beat Zhao Beiming, then he probably couldn’t beat him either. After all, Zhao Beiming had suffered a loss in his hands.

However, Li Changqing was also a bit speechless. You can’t beat anyone, so why are you so eager to get beaten up?

“Currently, there are only two Grandmasters in the Eastern Desolate Land that I haven’t fought. One is Luo Xiaochuan, and the other is you, Li Taibai. Luo Xiaochuan is too hard to find, he doesn’t even come to the Ghost Devil trial. Today, I finally met you. After the Ghost Devil trial is over, we must have a match.” Yu Fengxian said excitedly.

“Alright, if there’s a chance, it wouldn’t hurt to have a friendly match.” Knowing that Yu Fengxian’s strength was definitely not as good as his, Li Changqing gained confidence.

If you want to fight, then fight. Let’s see if I don’t make you cry later. At this time, the black crow was slowly descending. The man in purple turned around and said, “We’ve arrived at the Ghost Gorge. I’ll leave you all here.” Everyone looked down and saw an incredibly shocking scene.

It was a canyon beyond anyone’s imagination. The crack in the canyon stretched for dozens of miles from one side to the other. Below was complete darkness, so dark that nothing could be seen clearly. No one knew how deep it was.

Upon seeing this huge canyon, Li Changqing felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn’t help but think of a saying. When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

However, on the edge of the canyon, they could vaguely see many people already waiting there. It seemed that some people had arrived earlier.

The black crow landed on the edge of the canyon. The people below all looked up. Seeing Li Changqing, not many people recognized him.

But seeing that Li Changqing came with the Zhanhe Residence, they all guessed his identity.

After all, the fact that the Qinglian Sword Sovereign had become an elder of the Zhanhe Residence was no longer a secret in the Eastern Desolate Land.”Qinglian Sword Sovereign, I’m heading to my Iron Saber Sect first. Remember our agreement, after the Ghost Devil trial ends, we must have a match!” Yu Fengxian said enthusiastically.

“Ready whenever you are.” Li Changqing replied with a fist salute. Fight if you want, you can’t beat me anyway. What can you do to me?

I’m just that kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When the disciples of Zhanhe Residence descended from the black crow, many disciples from nearby sects were dumbfounded.

The words “Exclusively Sponsored by Changqing Trading Company” written on the clothes of the disciples from Zhanhe Residence seemed outrageous to them.

What kind of outfit is this? In an instant, many mocking voices rang out, making the disciples of Zhanhe Residence blush.

The disciples of Zhanhe Residence also looked around, wondering why the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land hadn’t arrived first?

“Hahaha, what kind of clothes are those, and what is Changqing Trading Company?”

“The clothes of Zhanhe Residence are really funny. Do they advertise while wearing clothes? Is this Changqing Trading Company owned by them?”

“Haha.” Although the disciples of Zhanhe Residence were annoyed, they didn’t know how to defend themselves and could only let them laugh.

Their only thought now was for the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land to arrive quickly and share some of the ridicule.

“Qinglian Sword Sovereign, we meet again.” At this moment, a figure in black was heading towards Li Changqing.

It was an old man in black. Li Changqing found him familiar, and then remembered that this was Zhang Yuanzhi from North Cold Country, one of the two Grandmasters of North Cold Country.

“Brother Yuanzhi.” Li Changqing also politely replied. He glanced in the direction of North Cold Country and saw that there were forty disciples.

Among them, Li Changqing saw a familiar face, Yin He, the prince who had tried to seize his treasure in the black market.

It seemed that he had been too lenient back then, as he had recovered so quickly. However, this person might not recognize him anymore.

Zhang Yuanzhi didn’t have any particular business, he just exchanged a few words with Li Changqing. After all, those who had arrived before Li Changqing were from small sects, none of which had a Grandmaster. Zhang Yuanzhi naturally wouldn’t talk to them, as they were on completely different levels.

But seeing Li Changqing arrive, even though there had been conflicts with North Cold Country before, it was the right choice to make friends with such a strong person.

As for North Cold Country, Li Changqing didn’t have any ill feelings, so he sat down and chatted with Zhang Yuanzhi. Learning about the world from an experienced Grandmaster was much better than reading books in the Wan Shu Tower of the Yan family.

Gradually, more and more sects arrived. Finally, the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land also arrived.

“Dao Mountain Ancient Land is here!” Someone shouted, and the disciples of Zhanhe Residence all stood up and looked at the black crow of Dao Mountain Ancient Land with respect.

They were moved to tears, as if they were seeing their own family. When the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land saw the familial gaze of the disciples of Zhanhe Residence as they descended from the black crow, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

Why were they so excited? Even if they were wearing the same clothes, there was no need to be so eager, right? When Li Hengsheng looked down, his gaze fell directly on a figure.

Li Changqing.

“Qinglian Sword Sovereign…” This was the second time Li Hengsheng had seen Qinglian Sword Sovereign. The first time was from a great distance, when he had seen him from afar on Qingyu Mountain, but this time they were so close.

Li Hengsheng didn’t know why he was so concerned about this person. Every time he saw Qinglian Sword Sovereign, Li Hengsheng felt a very comforting feeling.

Even a strange warmth. Why was this? Li Hengsheng couldn’t explain it.

Li Changqing also looked towards Dao Mountain Ancient Land, and he immediately spotted his son in the crowd.

Apart from the time when Li Hengsheng was poisoned and unconscious, this was the first time the father and son had met. Li Changqing suppressed his excitement, but he also felt a bit bitter. His son was right in front of him, but he couldn’t acknowledge him.

This was also a kind of helplessness.

“Why are the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land also wearing that?” At this moment, many disciples from other sects were dumbfounded when they saw the clothes of the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

They were also sponsored by Changqing Trading Company. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say. They would laugh at a group of people wearing such clothes, but when another group appeared wearing the same, they felt that this might be a trend?

Even all the sects suddenly became curious about this Changqing Trading Company. What kind of power was this company?

They managed to get Zhanhe Residence and Dao Mountain Ancient Land to willingly advertise for them? They decided to investigate after the Ghost Devil trial ended.

“Li Hengsheng.” Just as Li Hengsheng was carefully observing Li Changqing, a voice from behind interrupted his thoughts.

Turning his head, it was Nan Haofei.

“We’ve reached Ghost Gully, and we’re about to enter the Ghost Devil trial. I hope our bet still stands.” Nan Haofei said sincerely.

His fighting spirit showed no signs of diminishing.

“Bring it on!” Li Hengsheng also snorted coldly. Li Changqing also spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

Pavilion Master Li Jinsong of Floating Image Pavilion. The lineup of Dao Mountain Ancient Land was quite strong. With their arrival, other forces also looked over solemnly. After all, in the entire Eastern Desolate Land, sects that could rival Dao Mountain Ancient Land were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Xue Qianbai led his people to a place to rest, waiting for the Ghost Devil to open. Li Changqing didn’t continue to look at Li Hengsheng, in case Li Hengsheng noticed something.

As time passed, more and more sects arrived. The number of disciples from each force varied greatly.

Iron Saber Sect, Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Zhanhe Residence, North Cold Country, Great Yuan Dynasty, Shadow Gate, Snow Eagle Palace, and other sects with Grandmaster-level powerhouses had all arrived.

Finally, even the Medical King Valley arrived. The team from Medical King Valley was led by one of their elders, who had reached the realm of a Grandmaster. Among the people following him, Li Changqing saw a familiar figure, it was Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge was still as stunningly beautiful as ever, standing out like a firefly in the dark night as soon as she appeared. With her arrival, many people immediately went to visit the Medical King Valley, all of them young and outstanding men, trying to win over Mu Qingge.

Yin Shuyu saw Yin Changli, but because they were far apart, Yin Shuyu did not go to find Yin Changli. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities later.

Just when Li Changqing thought that all the sects had arrived and the Ghost Devil trial was about to begin, a thunderous rumble sounded from the sky, as if a thunderbolt had struck on a clear day. The next moment, a heavy oppressive feeling descended.

Everyone looked up, and Li Changqing was shocked by the scene before him. A flying ship was approaching from the sky?

Li Changqing had never expected to see such a high-tech object in the Cangyuan Realm. The flying ship was as large as an island.

On it stood soldiers clad in armor, each one mighty and sharp-eyed, each exuding a sharp aura. Their intimidating presence made the powerhouses of several countries present feel a sense of awe!

Even the powerful Great Yuan Dynasty was somewhat surprised.

“Guanglan Palace has arrived, they should be the last ones,” Zhang Yuanzhi said, looking up.

“Guanglan Palace?” Li Changqing was taken aback. He had only recently learned about this power. In the entire Eastern Desolate Land, Guanglan Palace and Dao Mountain Ancient Land were both very ancient powers. Guanglan Palace was very mysterious, rarely interacting with the outside world or other sects. Even the number of disciples in the sect was small, but the strength of Guanglan Palace was very formidable.

Guanglan Palace had a very powerful figure presiding over it, known as Guangzu. He was a true Great Martial Sect Grandmaster!

A top-tier existence since birth. It was rumored that fifty years ago, Guangzu had fought with the Lord of Cangyuan Realm in the Sky Sea City for the position of the new Lord of Cangyuan Realm, but unfortunately, Guangzu lost.

However, that battle was earth-shattering, showing countless powerhouses the strength of Guangzu. Guangzu’s name became a legend of a generation.

Now, fifty years later, many people speculated whether Guangzu of Guanglan Palace had stepped into the realm of terrestrial immortals.

So, with the appearance of Guanglan Palace, everyone’s breath became heavy. At this moment, petals began to fall from the huge flying ship.

The petals fluttered between heaven and earth, creating a beautiful scene. At the same time, two figures leaped down. They were two women as beautiful as paintings.

One of them was in her thirties, as if she were a reincarnated peach blossom, her skin was rosy and white, like a fairy who had walked out of a painting.

The other girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was clear that she was a budding beauty.

However, her cold aura could be felt even hundreds of meters away. It was not a high-cold temperament, but a complete… aura of ruthlessness.

The beauty of these two women was on par with Mu Qingge. Therefore, their appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

However, no one dared to harbor any ill intentions towards these two beauties. Because they were from Guanglan Palace, to rashly provoke them would be seeking death!
