Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large number of figures flew swiftly towards the open area beneath the ancient city, each one afraid of being late and losing their spot.
“Follow me, and make sure not to get separated,” Xiao Zhan warned Qin Chen and the others with a serious expression.
This Five Nations Grand Competition was unusual, with foreign experts arriving, and they had to be extremely cautious; otherwise, accidents could easily happen.
At this moment, just as the ancient Nandu appeared, a black streak of light sped across a plain over a hundred miles away from Gufeng City, suddenly stopping to gaze at the ancient Nandu ahead.
This was a man dressed in a black cloak, his eyes cold and elongated.
“So this is the ancient Nandu spoken of by the Five Nations? Truly magnificent! Hmph, with such cultivation at such a young age, he must be a genius of the Five Nations. I refuse to believe he won’t participate in the grand event of the Five Nations in the last five years.”
A chilling voice came from the cloaked figure, and then, with a flicker, the cloaked man vanished from the plain.
On the other side, outside Gufeng City.
A vast flow of people surged forward, and before long, they had arrived at the open area beneath the ancient city.
This space had long been cleaned, and around it was a high platform built collectively by major forces decades ago.
The strong from the five great nations and various powerful sects had prior experience and occupied the most advantageous positions.
Among them, Wei Tianming from the Daliang Nation led the geniuses of Daliang to occupy one position. Following closely were the strong from the Dawei Nation, the Dazhao Nation, the Dasong Nation, the Ling Tian Sect, and other powerful sects, each taking another position.
“Let’s go over here,” Xiao Zhan said in a low voice, swiftly moving to a high platform.
This high platform was directly in front of the floating ancient city, providing an excellent view; from afar, the ancient city was also very clear, and a large number of martial artists could be seen sprinting from that direction.
“This area has always been occupied by our Daqi Nation. You guys rest here for now. Although the ancient Nandu has appeared, it will still take some time before it truly descends. You should adjust your state first,” Xiao Zhan advised.
At this time, after the six major forces occupied their respective positions, there were still some empty spots on the high platform, which attracted the attention of other major forces from the Five Nations, their eyes flashing with excitement.
These high platforms didn’t offer much benefit for competing for rankings within the ancient Nandu, but they allowed for the closest contact with the aura of the ancient Nandu, cleansing the mind and body, enhancing martial comprehension, and also symbolizing status and identity.
Essentially, any force that could stand on the high platform represented the top combat power of the Five Nations.
And based on past experiences, there wouldn’t be more than ten forces able to stand on top.
“This year, since the Ghost Immortal Sect has no one coming, it’s an extra spot. Let’s go, we Blackstone Nation will take one.”
“Those of the Blade King Sect, follow me.”
“Our Chiyao Nation stood on the high platform last time, so we can’t fall behind this time either.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The remaining forces that were confident in their strength all shouted loudly and leaped up.
“We, the Ghost Immortal Sect, haven’t taken the stage yet; do you dare to act?”
Boom!
Just before they could leap onto the high platform, a sudden, chilling laugh echoed, followed by a series of terrifying figures clad in black robes surging in from the distance like lightning, instantly surpassing the other major forces and landing on the high platform to occupy a favorable position.
“What is this…”
“The Ghost Immortal Sect? Didn’t we hear that the Ghost Immortal Sect was destroyed by the Daqi Nation?”
“Where did so many experts come from?”
