Chapter 471: Entering the High Tower!
As the bell rang, everyone headed toward the gathering point.
Near a high tower, numerous powerful individuals had already gathered. Although they were all concealing their auras, the invisible pressure they collectively generated was immense. The surrounding air grew so heavy it felt as if it had solidified. If an ordinary person were to stand here, this oppressive force would likely crush them into a mist of blood.
At the very front stood the representatives of the God-Devil Domain’s First-class Forces. Behind them, the other attendees were positioned according to their sects’ current rankings.
Among the crowd, Long Chen and his companions stood in the upper-middle ranks. After all, the Jinglei Sect was a top contender among the Second-class Powers of the God-Devil Domain, putting it on par with the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Long Chen activated his Divine Demon Eye, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. Following the Second-class Powers were the Four Great Sects: the Divine Blade Sect, the Heavenly Water Sect, Xuanyue Valley, and Feiyu City. His eyes landed on their representatives—Elder Su Zhangli of the Divine Blade Sect, Elder Zheng Kailin of the Heavenly Water Sect, and the others.
A grim expression crossed Long Chen’s face when he confirmed that people from these Four Great Sects were present.
It was them who destroyed Guiyuan Academy! Not only that, but they also issued a Killing Order against me, forcing me into a desperate corner as everyone hunted me down. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive that calamity and join the Jinglei Sect. Now that I see them here again, it’s time to settle that deep-seated blood feud.
Atop a high platform, several elders stood with their hands clasped behind their backs, calmly gazing down at the scene. They were the three Enforcers from the Domain Alliance, responsible for both managing the tournament and ensuring its fairness.
The three Enforcers looked down at the crowd, exchanged a glance, and one of them announced, "I trust you are all aware of the Domain Alliance Tournament’s importance. This competition will not only determine the status and ranking of your respective sects but also grant the opportunity to enter a secret realm and obtain legacies.
"In this tournament, there are no restrictions on life or death.
"The rules are quite simple. You must enter the tower, successfully reach the seventh layer, and emerge unharmed. Anyone who does so will be considered a victor in this Domain Alliance Tournament.
"The first person to succeed will naturally claim the legacy. As for the sects’ rankings, those will be determined by the order in which your members complete the trial.
"Now, you may enter the tower and begin."
As his voice fell, the entire area began to stir with excitement.
Xue Wuying stared coolly at the towering structure, a confident smirk gracing his sullen face.
"That top spot is as good as mine!"
Hearing this, He Luo, who was standing nearby, shot him a disdainful look. He scoffed, "Isn’t that a bit presumptuous of you, Brother Wuying?"
"Oh?"
Xue Wuying turned to glance at He Luo. "I don’t think so. In this entire Domain Alliance Tournament, there are fewer than three people I would even consider my rivals. This time, I will trample all of you under my feet."
Xu Huanhuan pursed her lips into a smile. "You two can keep bickering. My Wonderful Sound Sect is going on ahead. You’d better hurry and catch up, or that number one spot will belong to me, Xu Huanhuan!"
With that, Xu Huanhuan led the disciples of the Wonderful Sound Sect swiftly toward the tower.
At this, He Luo and Xue Wuying stopped their bickering and also hurried toward the tower.
The members of the other major sects quickly followed suit.
The disciples from Xuanyue Valley, the Heavenly Water Sect, the Divine Blade Sect, and Feiyu City also rushed forward, their faces etched with fierce ambition. This Domain Alliance Tournament was a massive opportunity for them, too. They were equally determined to seize it and elevate their sect’s standing within the God-Devil Domain.
Seeing that the others had entered, Long Chen and his group leaped into the air and followed them into the tower.
