Martial Master

Martial Venerable, this person is definitely a Martial Venerable stronghold.

Moreover, he is a standout among the Martial Venerables; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to sweep away the aura of the Martial Venerables from the Tianheng Academy.

Is it rumored that in the land of the Five Kingdoms, which is extremely remote and barren, there are no Martial Venerable strongholds at all?

How could...

The crowd trembled, their gazes sharp.

Although they were extremely reluctant to admit it, witnessing the earlier scene, all the strongholds of the Dawei Dynasty were shocked.

They understood that these black-robed elders from the Gui Xian Sect were very likely Martial Venerable level strongholds.

Their expressions turned dark.

They came from Xuan Prefecture and had always considered themselves lofty, feeling an unprecedented sense of nobility, precisely because they knew that among the Five Kingdoms, there was not even a single Martial Venerable stronghold. The first rumored powerhouse was Wei Tianming from the Daliang Kingdom, who was merely a half-step Martial Venerable.

This gave them a strong sense of psychological superiority, looking down upon the powerhouses and disciples from the Five Kingdoms.

But now, feeling the aura emanating from the few black-robed elders of the Gui Xian Sect, they were all stunned. Who said the Five Kingdoms had no Martial Venerable strongholds?

Clearly, not only were there, but there were also quite a few, and each of these individuals had formidable cultivation; otherwise, they could not have withstood the aura of the Tianheng Academy's strongholds.

What these Dawei Dynasty powerhouses did not know was that while they were shocked, many strong figures from the Five Kingdoms, such as Wei Tianming and Xiao Zhan, were even more shocked.

"Where did so many experts from the Gui Xian Sect come from?"

They felt deep fear in their hearts, alongside a profound sense of confusion.

Exchanging glances, the top experts from the Five Kingdoms all focused their gazes.

At this moment, they could be certain that these mysteriously appearing black-robed elders from the Gui Xian Sect were definitely not from the Five Kingdoms.

Otherwise, if the Gui Xian Sect truly had such strength, they could have united with some forces to unify the entire Five Kingdoms long ago. How could they allow the young master Nian Wujing to be killed at the initial trial of the Five Kingdoms Competition, and even the sect master Nian Shuo to be destroyed by the Da Qi Kingdom?

What exactly is the purpose of these black-clothed people disguising themselves as citizens of the Five Kingdoms?

In the past, Wei Tianming and Xiao Zhan would have definitely stepped forward to clarify the origins of their opponents and understand the truth of the situation.

But now, under the pressure of many powers from the Dawei Dynasty, after exchanging a glance, Wei Tianming and the others could only sigh helplessly.

No matter who the other party is or what their purpose is, they cannot reveal the identities of this group of people.

Because only with a powerful Five Kingdoms can they make the strongholds present from the Dawei Dynasty feel apprehensive, preventing any uncontrollable actions.

"Mm?"

The stronghold from Tianheng Academy, who had spoken, was choked by the black-robed elder from the Gui Xian Sect, and his expression darkened as he was about to speak again.

Buzz!

Suddenly, an astonishing aura spread across the sky above Gunan City, drawing everyone's gaze.

They saw a tall figure descending from the sky above the Gunan City arena.

"Congratulations to the three of you for entering the top three."

"Next, among you three, one will have a bye, and the other two will compete for a promotion spot. The winner will then compete with the one who had a bye for the final championship."

The black figure looked down at the three below, his booming voice capturing everyone's attention.

A bye for one person?

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

So it seems that next, only two rounds of competition are needed to determine the final champion.
