Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate - Chapter 1403 - 728 Duel Begins_2

Chapter 1403: Chapter 728 Duel Begins_2

At this point, Chen Shouyi’s complexion slightly improved.

At the same time, the representatives of the factions who had previously drawn lots also had complex expressions. Some were lucky to draw weaker opponents, allowing them a faint smile of relief.

However, some drew opponents from the Liyang Sect, which made their expressions turn bitter.

Clearly, no one wanted to face those with strong and powerful backgrounds in the first round.

Yet, under these draw rules, no one could control who their opponent would be.

Moreover, even if one drew a generally weaker opponent in the first round, they would still be challenged by other factions’ participants later on.

Since that’s the case, if they can’t successfully defend the field, even surviving the first round out of luck wouldn’t guarantee a top ranking.

With this in mind, amidst the mixed emotions of some cultivators, all the draw results were revealed.

According to the results, the seventh opponent for the Lin Family was Chen Shouyi from the Biyun Sect.

As for other factions, Lin Tianyun focused on a few of the organizer factions and the Five Poison Sect of the Golden Crow Country.

In his eyes, only these factions could pose a significant threat to the Lin Family’s ranking.

Currently, based on the random draw results, the opponents for the Liyang Sect, Longqing Sect, and Xiao Family were not very strong, their overall strength being quite average.

However, the luck of the Five Poison Sect and Jiuyou Gate seemed a bit unfortunate, as they met early in the first round.

The other factions, including the Lin Family, had opponents from sects or families with relatively ordinary backgrounds, with overall strength amongst the twenty participating factions being ranked quite low or at best middle-upper tier.

Only Jiuyou Gate, as an organizer faction, faced the Five Poison Sect, an opponent second only to the organizer factions on the surface.

Regarding this result, the representative of Jiuyou Gate, Zhang Shun, had an unpleasant expression.

It was clear that Zhang Shun was very apprehensive about Liu Hongming’s strength.

After all, the Five Poison Sect, where Liu Hongming belonged, wasn’t weak, and Liu Hongming’s achievements were substantial.

Facing such a formidable opponent, anyone would dread meeting them in the first round.

However, Liu Hongming of the Five Poison Sect remained calm, showing no apparent fear.

Whether Liu Hongming was overly confident or indifferent to the first round’s ranking remained unknown.

In any case, Liu Hongming’s current mindset was known to him alone.

Thus, with the complex emotions of each faction’s representatives, all match results were finalized.

No matter their current feelings, everyone had to accept the draw results.

Conversely, around the battle arena’s perimeter, the cultivators who came to watch were buzzing with discussion.

Amidst the noisy chatter, one could hear cultivators bringing up the topic.

“Haha… The results of the first round are out, and Jiuyou Gate is up against the Five Poison Sect.”

“The power behind these two factions is not weak, and the individual strength of their representatives is terrifying.”

“Without a doubt, this clash should be the biggest suspense of the first round.”

“As for the other nine battles, they should be one-sided.”

“Up next, there will be a great show!”

In the midst of lively discussions, all the spectators eagerly widened their eyes, their hearts filled with anticipation for the start of the battles.

Following this, during a moment of calm, Xu Zuo of the Liyang Sect took the stage again, organizing the next round to begin.

At this moment, Xu Zuo hovered mid-air, his powerful voice carrying to every corner of the venue.

“Fellow Daoists, the draw results are out, does anyone have any questions about the results?”

“If so, feel free to raise them now.”

“If not, shall we begin the battles according to these results?”

After speaking, Xu Zuo glanced around at each faction’s representative, effectively asking for their opinions.

Quickly, no one spoke up, indicating that there were no doubts about the draw results.

Thus, seeing no objections, Xu Zuo continued: “Since no one speaks against it, I’ll presume it’s accepted.”

“Next, we’ll proceed with the battles in the order of the draw results.”

“Finally, I must remind everyone, fellow Daoists.”

“This battle is after all just a friendly spar.”

“In unnecessary situations, please show restraint and avoid forming life-and-death feuds over some benefits, losing control of the situation.”

“If it becomes like that, it wouldn’t align with the original intention of our event.”

“So, please consider this seriously.”

Once these words fell, Xu Zuo looked towards two different faction representatives, then spoke up.

“Daoist He, Daoist Min, you two may begin!”

With that, Xu Zuo first retreated, returning to the platform where the Liyang Sect cultivators stood.

At this moment, other faction representatives also one by one exited the arena.

Lin Tianyun included, also retreated, returning in front of Lin Tianfeng and others.

In the blink of an eye, the representatives of the eighteen participating factions withdrew, leaving the battle arena entirely empty except for the two first-round battle representatives who remained at its center.

At this moment, having seen everyone retreat, Xu Zuo subsequently activated the Third Order Formation he prepared in advance.

Instantly, with a roar, the sky erupted into a fierce storm and flying sands and gravels.

Meanwhile, the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth surged rapidly, soon creating a huge light curtain that enveloped a large part of the arena.

The platform where Lin Tianyun stood was just outside the range of the light curtain.

As the tumult subsided, the sky returned to calm.

Now, those watching outside the light curtain could clearly see every move within the formation.

At this moment, inside the formation, the two Golden Core Stage Experts exchanged glances, then cupped their fists in a mutual greeting before the spar.

Immediately, the cultivator with the surname Min spoke: “Daoist He, be careful as weapons have no eyes!”

As the words fell, the Min cultivator leaped forward, shooting towards the opposite He cultivator.

While still mid-air, the Min cultivator slapped at his waist.

In a flash, a dark long blade appeared in his hand, a magical treasure.

Following this, his fingers flicked continuously, spiritual lights bombarding his treasure.

Amidst an enchanting sound, an invisible aura formed, and a hue appeared in the sky.

At this moment, seeing the opponent’s move, the He cultivator didn’t want to fall behind.

“Let’s fight!”

In an instant, the He cultivator shouted, and then his magical treasure appeared in his hand.

Th𝘪𝑠 𝒸h𝗮p𝙩ҽr 𝘪𝖘 p𝖔ṡ𝕥𝓮𝕕 b𝐲 𝗞ḭτꬲȠℴ𝙫ɛ|

Following this, he cast law decrees, each precise shot of spiritual light striking the treasure.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

In the blink of an eye, a pale red longsword appeared in the sky.

As the longsword emerged, the sky erupted with fierce winds and flying sands and gravels, a massive amount of Yuan Qi crazily rushed towards it, finally merging into the longsword, clearly being devoured by the treasure.

As Yuan Qi surged in, the pale red longsword’s size dramatically grew, and its aura also multiplied.

When the changes in the longsword became more apparent, a certain critical point seemed to be reached.

At this point, the He cultivator detected these changes, clearly understanding the longsword’s fundamental state.

Therefore, without further delay.

“Go!”

With a loud shout from the He cultivator, the longsword in the sky flashed and directly shot towards the Min cultivator.

Simultaneously, a powerful momentum formed, spreading out first.
