The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

Today is the last day of September.

In other words, the competition will begin in two days.

"In that case, let's wait two more days." Jiang Yun asked, "Did they say where the competition will be held?"

"It's said to be held at a cultivation sect called the Crimson Fire Sect," Xu Changchuan explained. "This Guo Tianzhou is a disciple of the Crimson Fire Sect."

"The Crimson Fire Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun understood.

It seems that there are indeed many immortal cultivation sects near Qingshan Lake.

No wonder.

After all, Qingshan Lake is full of spiritual energy.

It's perfectly normal for cultivation sects to have taken root here.

He looked up at the Chu family token in the sky.

Since the Chu family token has appeared here.

There might even be Foundation Establishment cultivators in some sects.

However, all these Foundation Establishment cultivators have now been transferred away by the Chu family.

It's likely that none of the major cultivation sects or families in Qingshan Lake have a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge.

"Where is the Crimson Fire Gate?"

When Jiang Dexian first heard the name of a cultivation sect, he couldn't help but ask about it.

"On that mountain," Xu Changchuan pointed to a large mountain west of Qingshan Lake. "We'll have to take a boat there."

"I see. These cultivation sects are truly powerful, occupying mountains to establish their sects and overlooking the entire Qingshan Lake."

Jiang Yun looked at the mountains shrouded in mist and said.

"With these immortals around, our martial arts sects can only live in a remote corner."

Xu Xin shook her head and couldn't help but sigh.

There are many martial arts sects.

But none of them can compare to the immortal cultivation sects.

"Let's find a place to rest, and go to the Crimson Fire Gate in two days."

Jiang Yun learned that the competition would be held at the Crimson Fire Gate two days later.

They then searched for an inn in the town to stay in.

To his surprise, he found three inns in a row, and the cheapest one in each inn cost five taels of silver per night.

Jiang Yun only took 20 taels of silver with him when he went out, which was not enough.

As for Xu Changchuan and Xu Xin, they were also struggling financially.

They had come from Qingzhou, and their travel expenses were almost gone.

"Why don't we sell this horse?"

Jiang Yun suggested.

"Very good."

Xu Changchuan expressed his agreement.

Anyway, this horse was stolen from three villains, so there's nothing to regret about selling it.

So Jiang Yun sold the horse and got 60 taels of silver.

Each horse was worth 60 taels of silver. Xu Changchuan and Xu Xin had a total of two horses, so they received a total of 120 taels of silver.

That's enough to live in this small town of Qingshan Lake for a while.

After selling the horses.

Jiang Yun then checked into the inn.

"The spiritual energy here is plentiful; it's a good place to cultivate."

The competition will begin in two more days.

Jiang Yun and his son Jiang Dexian.

He began cultivating in the inn.

At least five taels of silver were spent.

We should at least absorb some of the spiritual energy of Qingshan Lake!

……

Two days later.

October 3rd.

The duel between Lu Yao and Guo Tianzhou took place as scheduled.

The Crimson Fire Sect seems to be taking this competition very seriously.

Two large ships were specially dispatched to transport martial arts practitioners who came to watch the battle.

The two large ships made several trips back and forth.

It is estimated that there are at least three or four hundred martial arts practitioners who came to watch the battle.

Jiang Yun and his son Jiang Dexian, along with Xu Changchuan and his grandson Xu Xin, boarded a large ship and followed the others to the Crimson Fire Gate.

We arrived at the foot of the mountain.

A majestic mountain gate stood before us.

Opposite the mountain gate lies the breathtakingly beautiful Qingshan Lake.

"That's really good."

Jiang Yun praised him in his heart.

That's what gives a cultivation sect its prestige.

At this time.

Two disciples of the Crimson Fire Sect appeared in front of the mountain gate.

They wore robes with flame markings.

One of them, speaking with a strong voice, said:

"Keep quiet and follow me into the mountains."

He finished speaking.

He walked in front, followed closely by a large number of martial arts practitioners.

Jiang Yun and the others followed silently in the crowd.

"Keep up, and don't wander off, or you'll be killed if you wander into the sect's restricted area."

Another disciple of the Crimson Fire Sect reminded him.

A short while later.

The group went up the mountain and arrived at a Taoist temple.

At this time, many people were already waiting in the dojo.

These people are not disciples of the Crimson Fire Sect.

They must be disciples from other cultivation sects, who came to the Crimson Fire Sect to watch the battle.

Jiang Yun glanced at the group and roughly estimated that there were no fewer than one hundred people.

This was the first time Jiang Yun had ever seen so many cultivators gathered together.

However, these cultivators, like him, were still in the Qi Refining stage.

In the center of the dojo.

There were two people standing there.

One of them was Lu Yao, a grandmaster in the martial arts world.

The other person was Guo Tianzhou, a disciple of the Crimson Fire Sect.

The two faced each other from a distance.

The great battle is about to begin.

They were just waiting for all these martial arts figures to arrive.

"Let's begin. Let's settle any grudges today, regardless of life or death."

An elder walked out of the Crimson Fire Sect.

His hair was completely white.

His cultivation level is only one step away from reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Unfortunately, he was stuck at the threshold of Foundation Establishment and could not cross it.

He gave the order.

Lu Yao made a move.

With a push of his feet, he arrived in front of Guo Tianzhou in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yao understood.

Only close combat offers a chance of victory.

So the moment the elder finished speaking, he unleashed his full power and rushed to Guo Tianzhou's side.

"here we go."

Xu Xin stared intently at Lu Yao.

Other martial arts practitioners watched the battle with equal tension.

the other side.

The Qi Refining cultivators watching the battle all had a mocking expression on their faces.

Guo Tianzhou neither dodged nor flinched.

He took out a talisman from his sleeve.

The talisman was held between his fingers and then burned.

Immediately afterwards, a circular light shield appeared around him.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the sect's requirements, why would we waste talismans to deal with a mere mortal!"

Guo Tianzhou gave a soft snort.

The sect wants to take this opportunity to recruit disciples.

Those martial arts practitioners have been practicing since childhood and have a solid foundation.

The sect elders will later give these martial arts practitioners a chance to test their spiritual roots.

If someone possesses spiritual roots, they can be taken under one's wing.

Therefore, the sect required him to participate in this competition with Lu Yao.

Use the immortal's methods as much as possible.

Let those martial arts practitioners see for themselves how powerful the immortal is.

That will make it easier to recruit disciples for the sect later.

"break!"

Lu Yao saw that Guo Tianzhou was protected by a light shield.

Two fists kept pounding on the light shield.

Before long, the light shield was deformed from his smash.

"They do have some skill."

Guo Tianzhou said calmly.

However, he remained standing still, letting Lu Yao destroy the light barrier.

"Dad, Grandmasters are really amazing."

Seeing this, Jiang Dexian whispered something in the crowd.

Jiang Yun nodded.

The fact that the protective shield formed by the talisman could be deformed shows that a first-rank martial artist does indeed possess some strength.

Let's stop here.

Guo Tianzhou felt that was about enough.

He leaped backward, creating distance, and made a hand seal.

He opened his mouth and spat it out.

A fire dragon spewed from his mouth.

The fire dragon grew larger and larger, reaching over ten feet in length before Lu Yao.

Lu Yao tried to avoid it.

Unfortunately, the fire dragon seemed to have eyes.

He had no choice but to use his fists to defend himself.

And he used his true energy to protect his body.

But after the fire dragon made contact with his fist...

It instantly enveloped him, burning him into a human torch.

Standing at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Great Yu Dynasty, Lu Yao possessed an inherent pride.

He didn't utter a single word.

They were burned alive by the flames.

The flames quickly burned away his flesh.

Exposing the stark white bones.

However, upon the white bones.

The flames, however, did not go out.

It seems even the bones are being burned.

Hundreds of martial arts practitioners witnessed this scene.

They all stared blankly at the white bones burning with flames.

Who would have thought that their revered grandmaster couldn't even withstand a single move from an immortal?

"How could this happen..." Xu Xin murmured in disbelief.

Jiang Dexian quickly offered words of comfort.

"Grandmaster Lu Yao is already very powerful, but this flame is extraordinary; it can even burn bones."
