Chapter 162 - 160: Battle of the Dark Horse
The next morning, within the three hundred peaks of the Qiyun Sect, both inner and outer, a commotion unparalleled in previous years arose.
As dawn faintly broke, various groups of spectators organized by the Qiyun Sect’s Outer Disciples began to steadily make their way up the mountain.

Essentially, the heads of major and minor families within the Black Water Kingdom, as well as princes and nobles, would all receive invitations from the Qiyun Sect to come and observe the event.
The Qiyun Sect also aimed to use this opportunity to showcase its formidable strength and thereby influence various powerhouses to attract more outstanding disciples.
