Chapter 199, Ancient Martial Sect
The mountains undulated and clouds entwined as celestial cranes occasionally flew past. Although it was now summer, this place remained as warm as spring, brimming with greenery, birdsong, and floral fragrance, resembling a realm of immortals.
At the end of a peach grove, inside a majestic and luxurious hall, sat more than a dozen people, young and old, male and female. However, the clothes they wore gave off a feeling as though one had traveled back to ancient times.
"Have those ten slots been sent out?" the commanding man at the head of the table asked indifferently, his cold gaze sweeping over those present.
"They have been sent out. After three days, the ten individuals who received the slots will come to the Hidden Sect," Jiang Donghao respectfully replied from the right side.
The Hidden Sect housed over a hundred Ancient Martial Sects, and the man at the head was none other than Situ Mingyou, the Sect Leader of the Lishan Sect, the premier sect among them.
Upon learning that the Heavenly Trace Sect’s disciples had their points stolen within the Emperor Realm, Situ Mingyou was furious. The dignity of the Hidden Sect was inviolable, so after discussions among the several major sects, this decision to send out ten slots was made, aiming to lure those who had stolen the points into the Hidden Sect.
Those individuals who were able to steal the points from the Heavenly Trace Sect’s disciples were clearly not weaker than Ancient Martial Cultivators. Besides the Hidden Sect, no other place was allowed to have Ancient Martial Cultivators, and those in the Emperor Realm were all disciples of the Hidden Sect.
The disciples of the Heavenly Trace Sect stated that the five people who intercepted them were not disciples of the Hidden Sect. As a rule, each disciple of the Hidden Sect would have a mark of their respective sect on their masks, making them easily identifiable.
