Chapter 128 – Past Rival – Profound Heavenly Sect
A hunchbacked cultivator with a mouthful of yellow teeth crossed his arms, eyes gleaming as he laughed. “This is something! You have to admire the Daxia Sword Sect’s spirit. They knew their disciples might die, but they came anyway.”
Beside him, a white-browed old man murmured, “Well said. But have you noticed the look in their eyes? They know exactly what they’re up against today, yet there’s not a trace of resignation in their gaze. With determination like that, who knows where their sect might stand a hundred years from now?”
Both were Golden Core Realm cultivators. Naturally, their perception ran deeper than most.
Soon, the other sects’ disciples arrived. Countless eyes turned toward the Daxia Sword Sect. After all, among all the sects, it was the Daxia Sword Sect and the Six Suns Scholar Academy that had suffered the heaviest casualties in the first round.
And yet, only the Daxia Sword Sect had returned. The Six Suns Scholar Academy had withdrawn from Heavenly Tiger Pass the night before.
Hovering midair, Ge Qing announced, “Based on yesterday’s rankings, the bottom fifty sects have been eliminated.”
All eyes turned to the stone stele in surprise. At the very bottom was the Daxia Sword Sect, ranked fiftieth.
They had been the first to finish their matches and were ranked ninety-second at the time, as the other sects had yet to complete their battles.
Qin Xian was completely surprised by their ranking.
“Since the heavens have decided this, let’s go with the flow!”
The elders from the various sects moved to their spectator platforms, then Ge Qing said, “Let’s begin the draw for the second round!”
Buzz!
