Top-grade Demon Supreme

Hidden City, center.

As the members of the Hidden Cultivation Association appeared here, it immediately caused a commotion.

The eyes of experts from various forces all turned towards Leng Yun.

The news of the appearance of the direct disciple of the former chairman of the Hidden Cultivation Association had long spread throughout the Small World.

As a power stabilizing the presence between the Hidden Cultivation Lineage and the secular world.

The Hidden Cultivation Association was previously an entity that none of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang forces of the Hidden Sect dared to provoke.

Unfortunately, ever since the mysterious disappearance of the former chairman of the Hidden Cultivation Association, the association fell into disorder and acted independently.

The Hidden Cultivation Association rapidly declined and was no longer a force feared by the major forces of the Hidden Cultivation.

Now, with the appearance of this direct disciple of the association's chairman,

it is natural that the Hidden Cultivation Association will undergo changes, and various hidden forces are very concerned about this.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself."

"My name is Leng Yun, disciple of the former chairman of the Hidden Cultivation Association."

"Today, I will also participate in the Hidden Pride Competition."

"My goal is to take first place."

"At that time, I will formally become the chairman of the Hidden Cultivation Association!!!"

Standing in front of everyone, Leng Yun spoke powerfully and dominantly.

Hearing Leng Yun's words, the experts from all forces present discussed fervently.

After knowing that the opponent would also participate in the Hidden Pride Competition.

Many of the talents preparing to compete felt an added pressure,

after all, the other party is the direct disciple of the Hidden Cultivation Association's chairman,

his strength surely not to be underestimated.

Just then, sudden chants of Buddhist prayers echoed.

The crowd's gaze swept towards the void, only to see a group of White Cranes coming from the west.

On these White Cranes stood monks wearing robes,

the leader being an old monk with big ears, clad in a Kasaya, holding a golden staff,

exuding an aura of enlightenment, radiating a glow that could enlighten the world.

Behind him were more than a dozen monks, ranging from youth to middle age.

On their robes, each had a large 'Buddha' character.

This group was the leaders of the Buddhist Path in the Small World.

The leader was the first head of the Buddhist Sect, Nian Fa.

Below the abbot of the Buddhist Sect, there were eight heads,

each a Buddhist Path powerhouse with unfathomable cultivation.

Although the Buddhist Sect is referred to as a Heavenly Level Sect,

they have been passed down for over seven to eight thousand years.

Their depth of heritage is not inferior to the Nine Great Royal Families.

However, the Buddhist Sect has always kept a low profile, never showing themselves, solely focusing on studying Buddhist Law.

In previous Hidden Pride Competitions, the Buddhist Sect never sent participants.

Unexpectedly, the Buddhist Sect appeared at this Hidden Pride Competition.

Moreover, it was the first head, Ga'en.

Instantly, the present forces once again engaged in heated discussions.

Even the Buddhist Sect, which usually doesn't show up, appeared, indicating that this Hidden Pride Competition was indeed going to be extraordinary.

"Master Nian Fa, I didn't expect you to personally come today."

"We are truly honored!!!"

At this moment, the leaders of several Heavenly-level forces and several elders of the Hidden Cultivation Association,

they all clasped their fists towards the first head of the Buddhist Sect, Nian Fa, reminiscing.

"Although my Buddhist Sect usually does not like to come into the open."

"Yet the Hidden Pride Competition is such a grand event, as a part of the Hidden Cultivation Lineage, naturally we should show some support."

"Moreover, this time, the top five talents of the Hidden Pride Competition can ascend the Divine Martial Platform to comprehend the Martial Tablet."

"It happens that one of our disciples wishes to comprehend the Martial Tablet."

"So I have come as ordered by the abbot."

"During the competition, I ask for your talents to show some leniency."

Nian Fa said with a kind smile.

"This is the Buddhist Sect's first time participating in the Hidden Pride Competition."

"Surely the disciple they dispatched is extraordinary."

"We are eager to witness it."

Spoke Master Cheng, the Heavenly Level Sect Master.

"Master Cheng, you flatter me."

Nian Fa said calmly.

"Buddhist Sect!!!"

At this moment, Xia Liu in the crowd.

His gaze was fixed on the members of the Buddhist Sect, his eyes gleaming.

Within the Buddhist Sect, there are three relics,

naturally, they are Xia Liu's biggest target.

"Are these the contestants for the Hidden Pride Competition?"

"With just this level of strength, we can secure the top five of the Hidden Pride Competition."

At this moment, several Buddhist Sect disciples standing on the White Cranes surveyed the younger generation below with casual expressions.

"Anyway, the first place in this Hidden Pride Competition surely belongs to Senior Brother Wunian!!!"

These Buddhist Sect disciples said,

their eyes then swept towards one of the White Cranes.

On this White Crane stood a young monk in a white robe.

Other Buddhist Sect disciples shared a White Crane among several,

only the first head of the Buddhist Sect, Nian De, and this young monk had one White Crane each.

Showing the extraordinary status of this young monk.

This young monk's face was fair and clear, remarkably handsome.

His expression was calm, with an appearance of detachment.

He was the strongest talent sent by the Buddhist Sect this time, Wunian.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Next, from the Nine Great Royal Families, except for the Li Clan which had been destroyed,

members of the remaining Eight Great Royal Families appeared one by one.

The members of the Duanmu Clan, Mo Clan, Shangguan Clan, Huangpu Clan, and Yuwen Clan, five families that had already appeared, were all present.

Some were led by the clan leaders themselves, others by elders.

Among them, the Huangpu Clan was personally led by the young lady of the Huangpu Clan, Madam Ning.

Apart from these five clans,

the remaining three clans, Yao Clan, Gongsun Clan, and Sword Clan, also appeared.

The Yao Clan, the only Royal Family among the Nine Great Royal Families where all past clan leaders were women.

Despite this, the Yao Clan's strength was not low, ranking among the top five of the Nine Great Royal Families.

The direct lineage of the Yao Clan are mostly Water Attribute Martial Artists, complemented by the Clan's bloodline, making them very strong.

As for the Gongsun Clan and the Sword Clan,

the former practiced saber techniques throughout the clan, while the latter specialized in swordsmanship.

The combat prowess of these two clans ranked among the top three within the Nine Great Royal Families.

This time, the clan leaders of the three great clans personally descended.

The Yao Clan Patriarch was a young-looking woman.

Her entourage consisted of young, beautiful, and exceptionally talented women, drawing the attention of countless prodigies present.

The Gongsun Clan Patriarch wore a green robe, with a sinister demeanor.

The Gongsun Clan members behind him all carried long blades.

The Sword Clan Patriarch donned a white robe with exceptional grace.

The other Sword Clan members were clad in white, carrying long swords on their backs.

All bore cold expressions, like blocks of cold ice.

Within the Sword Clan's ranks,

a young man, appearing around twenty, stood among them.

He was the only one among the Sword Clan members without a long sword on his back.

His eyes gleamed with a peculiar light,

giving off an air of carefreeness and unpredictability.

With the appearance of the Eight Great Royal Families, the scene became lively again.

"Today has really brought out quite a crowd."

A sudden voice rang out.
