Chapter 806: Killing Is Permissible
The Long-Bearded Guest was not angry at Wu Guangyu’s reprimand. He chuckled, looked around, then said, “Since everyone is here, let’s begin. The eighteen participants are required to step forward. Let me get a good look at you. I want to see how extraordinary the young talents of the Nine Great Clans are.”
After the Long-Bearded Guest spoke, the eighteen participants of the Martial Youth Competition acknowledged their patriarchs slightly, then stepped in front of him. Long Chen stood with Suxue, Lei Wen, and Lei Wu. The Divine Wind Faction had a man and a woman representing them aside from Feng Zhilin and Wu Guangyu. The man was a young talent from the Wind clan, and based on his looks, he was likely of similar age to the Lei brothers. The girl was a Divine clansman, and she was likely in her thirties too.
Reaching the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage before thirty was a difficult achievement. The Eight Sect Elders from the Demon clan were all at least a hundred years old, and they were in their fifties when they reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage.
Wu Guangyu and Feng Zhilin were an unmarried couple, but the other man and woman held hands, so they were likely married already. The Divine clan woman had married a Wind clan man.
They were both at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. When Wu Guangyu and Feng Zhilin were included, this faction’s team was very powerful. As for the Five Elements Alliance, eleven people walked over, led by Jin Ling. Almost every cultivator was at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, making for a magnificent scene.
“Aiyo! The quality of this year’s participants is very high! Much higher than the past few years, at least.” The Long-Bearded Guest looked at the eighteen people with curiosity. His gaze swept across every single one of them, and when he saw Feng Zhilin, his eyes shone. He muttered praises about her in a low voice. Wu Guangyu was about to attack him, but he finally looked at Suxue.
Suxue had a curvier figure than Feng Zhilin, and the moment he saw her, he could not peel his eyes away. However, Suxue was smart. She chuckled, then stood behind Long Chen so that he could not see anything.
“Eh? This kid?” The Long-Bearded Guest finally looked at Long Chen and said with great interest, “Is this kid Long Chen, the one everyone’s been talking about? The one who took the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance?”
“That’s me, Elder.” Long Chen saluted him.
