Upon hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong paused, his body trembling with anger.
Dantai Xuanzhong suddenly turned around, fixing his gaze on Ru Yan Wu Ji and Zhuge Yu, and said word by word, "This sovereign will ask one last time, are you both sure you want to proceed with this?"
In Dantai Xuanzhong's star-like eyes, there was a determination that startled Ru Yan Wu Ji and Zhuge Yu.
Upon hearing this, Ru Yan Wu Ji glanced at Dantai Xuanzhong and coldly snorted, "Back then, our sect's ancestor master suggested the grand competition of the four techniques only because he was forced by your sect's ancestor master’s tyranny."
"Now, your Huangfu Sacred Sect has already fallen into decline, with an overall strength not even reaching fifty percent of my Eternal Immortal Sect; this is an undeniable fact."
"As the sovereign, Dantai Xuanzhong, you should understand very well that if a real fight breaks out, your Huangfu Sacred Sect will disappear into the long river of history."
"Since you brought your inner sect disciples here, I will give you an opportunity and a choice."
Ru Yan Wu Ji spoke firmly, "I guarantee with my integrity that the two hundred disciples outside are all alchemical refinement, artifact crafting, formation refining, and talisman refining disciples; their strength is not the strongest among our sect's fetal soul realm disciples."
"Today, you can select the three strongest from your disciples to challenge."
"I will send out one person from our sect to face your three challengers one by one. If even one of your disciples is undefeated, our grand competition of the four techniques will proceed as usual tomorrow."
"But if all three of your disciples are defeated, you must leave the Eternal Immortal Sect with your disciples immediately. As for your Huangfu Sacred Sect, we will accompany you to the end if you wish to fight!"
Ru Yan Wu Ji's words could not be considered humble!
He was certain that Dantai Xuanzhong would respond to the challenge as long as he wasn't a fool!
As Dantai Xuanzhong was pondering the pros and cons, the disciples of Huangfu Sacred Sect outside the hall had already been completely roused with fighting spirit!
"Sovereign, I request a battle!"
"Sovereign, I request a battle!"
"…"
Except for Tan Yun and the fifty-one disposable disciples, as well as Nangong Ruxue, who had already reached the third level of the fetal soul realm, the other disciples from the artifact lineage, alchemical lineage, formation lineage, and talismans lineage gritted their teeth and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong had placed his last hope on the disciples. He looked at Ru Yan Wu Ji and nodded, "Very well, our Huangfu Sacred Sect will accept the challenge!"
"Is there an option not to accept the challenge?" Ru Yan Wu Ji's tone was light but filled with immense self-confidence, "Today, this sovereign will let you know how great the gap is between your Huangfu Sacred Sect's inner sect disciples and my Eternal Immortal Sect's disciples."
"However, there are no eyes on swords; casualties do not matter!"
Hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong said coldly, "If you want to fight, then let’s fight. No need for further words!"
Dantai Xuanzhong turned around, leading the eight chiefs, stepping out of the Eternal Immortal Palace, and standing before the disciples of Huangfu Sacred Sect, he said in a deep voice, "The three strongest disciples on the Crouching Dragon Rankings, step forward!"
"Artifact lineage disciple Zhong Han Tong, pays respects to Sovereign!" Zhong Han Tong stepped forward, kneeling before Dantai Xuanzhong, "I am willing to fight for our sect's glory, not fearing death!"
"Formation lineage disciple Xu Qi, pays respects to Sovereign!" Xu Qi also stepped out of formation, kneeling and looking towards Dantai Xuanzhong.
"Talisman lineage disciple Huangfu Tingfeng, pays respects to Sovereign!" Huangfu Tingfeng stepped out of the ranks and knelt before Dantai Xuanzhong.
Dantai Xuanzhong regarded the three and commanded, "This battle is of great importance and must not be taken lightly!"
