Chapter 3865: Strong Men Gather

“Of course, not only is this to deal with Ye Bufan, but also to re-establish the position of my Five Elements Sword Sect.

From now on, the Middle Heaven Region will no longer be led by the Three Great Sects, but by my Five Elements Sword Sect alone.”

Yuan Kun's expression became excited as he spoke. Normally, each of the Five Factions only had two Immortal Venerable Peak experts.

However, the Five Elements Sword Sect's strength was somewhat stronger than the other four factions. Five years ago, one of their Grand Elders successfully Broke Through to the Immortal Venerable Peak.

This meant they also had three experts of this Rank, no weaker than the Three Great Sects.

It was precisely because of this that he had always been ambitious and eager to act.

Xiahou Qian pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

“You’re right, it’s time for my Five Elements Sword Sect to make its mark.

We’ll do as you say. At that time, I and the two Supreme Sect Leaders will appear together in the Yuangu Secret Realm, letting everyone witness our true strength.”

Three days passed in a flash. As the Yuangu Secret Realm was about to reopen, the small valley was already overflowing with people, a surging tide as far as the eye could see.

These people had arrived early, just to watch the excitement.

Every time the Yuangu Secret Realm opened in the past, someone would obtain an unexpected Opportunity. Some would step from Immortal Lord into Immortal Venerable in one fell swoop, while others would achieve the Immortal Lord Realm from Immortal King.

So everyone wanted to see who the lucky one would be this time, and who could create a miracle.

Would it be those few from Lingyun Sword Sect, or the Core Disciples from the Three Sects, Five Factions, Seven Great Families?

However, these people were all watching from a distance; no one dared to approach the positions belonging to the core Sects.

As everyone waited, hundreds of people sped from afar, a dense mass, each with a powerful Aura. The leading elders had all reached Immortal Venerable Peak.

“Are these people from the Four Directions Sword Sect? Heavens, even the Sect Master has come…”

“It’s more than just the Sect Master, didn’t you see those two elders? Those are Grand Elders…”

“It’s not just the Four Directions Sword Sect that’s here; there’s also the Zhao Family and the Han Family, and they all have Grand Elders…”

After seeing who had arrived, gasps of astonishment continuously erupted from the crowd.

In the past, there was no difference between the closing and opening of the Yuangu Secret Realm. Generally, the major Sects would send their Grand Elders to preside.

But this time was clearly different. Not only did Sword Ling Xiao, the Sect Master of the Four Directions Sword Sect, arrive, but the Family Heads of the Zhao Family and Han Family also personally led their teams.

Most importantly, there were Grand Elders present. These were all Immortal Venerable Peak Rank experts, something that had never happened before.

The Alliance of the Four Directions Sword Sect and the two Families aimed for a grand display, so they had no reservations. The three Families arrived at the scene with great fanfare and then occupied their respective positions.

Still, before the astonishment in everyone's hearts could dissipate, another group of people arrived, none other than the Five Elements Sword Sect.

Although their numbers were slightly fewer than the Three Families Alliance, they had no shortage of powerful experts.

Xiahou Qian and the two Grand Elders led the way, not restraining their Aura in the slightest. The pressure of Immortal Venerable Peak Rank experts permeated the entire area, causing everyone to be greatly alarmed.

“Heavens, are these people from the Five Elements Sword Sect? So many masters have come…”

“Indeed, worthy of being the head of the Five Factions, there are too many powerful experts…”

“It’s more than just the head of the Five Factions; I think their strength is no less than the Three Great Sects…”

The people present discussed animatedly, and even the Five Elements Sword Sect, Han Family, and Zhao Family showed surprised expressions.

Firstly, they hadn't expected the Five Elements Sword Sect to have three Immortal Venerable Peak Rank experts, and all of them had come here.

Others might not know their purpose, but they were perfectly clear: this was obviously also aimed at Ye Bufan.

At this moment, a hint of relief flashed through the hearts of Sword Ling Xiao, Han Fangxi, and Zhao Qingzheng. Fortunately, the three Families had formed an Alliance; otherwise, even the Five Elements Sword Sect alone would have been too much for them to contend with.

And just then, another powerful Aura swept over. Hundreds of people sped from afar, none other than Guiyuan Sect.

The news of Tiandao Sect sealing its mountain had now spread throughout Yuangu City, and they had now become the strongest Sect.

Led by Yuan Futu, with two Grand Elders following behind, their Aura was also extremely vast.

Some of the people present were dumbfounded. They only wanted to see how many people would find an Opportunity in the Yuangu Secret Realm.

They hadn't expected that before any movement there, ten Immortal Venerable Peak Rank experts would arrive. Many people might not even see one in their entire lives, yet now they had seen so many at once.

And Yuan Futu, Sword Ling Xiao, Xiahou Qian, and others also showed surprised expressions upon seeing each other's presence. They hadn't expected the other party to bring so many powerful experts.

Yuan Futu looked at Xiahou Qian, a smile playing on his lips: “Brother Xiahou, I really didn’t expect even you to come in person this time.”

Xiahou Qian chuckled: “It’s just that I’m getting old and decided to take a stroll. The two Grand Elders have also been in seclusion for too long and needed some fresh air.”

Yuan Futu nodded: “Indeed, the feeling is mutual.”

The two of them bantered, but they both knew the purpose of each other's arrival and were calculating how to act later.

No matter what, they had to seize Ye Bufan first and not give the other party a chance.

Just then, Chuyun Fairy and Fairy Chixia of Bixia Sect, along with other Disciples from their Sect, and the people from Lingyun Sword Sect, also arrived here.

These days, with Ye Bufan absent, they had kept Luo Bingyan and the others by their side, fearing any accidents, so they naturally brought them here as well.

Accompanying them was the Qin Family. Due to Ye Bufan, the two Families were now much closer than before.

However, both Bixia Sect and the Qin Family were open-hearted and had no ill intentions, so they naturally didn't bring too many powerful experts.

The Qin Family was still led by Grand Elder Qin BuFu, while Chuyun Fairy of Bixia Sect came here entirely out of respect for Ye Bufan.

They led the way, originally chatting and laughing, but their expressions changed upon seeing the situation before them.

Qin BuFu's expression immediately turned grim: “Sect Master Chuyun, how could this be? Why are there so many Immortal Venerable Peak experts here?”

Chuyun Fairy was the same. As a Sect Master, she immediately saw the unusualness of the situation.

To say that these ten Immortal Venerable Peaks had all come here to watch the excitement, she wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death.

“If I’m not mistaken, they should be here for Divine Doctor Ye. It seems we were too careless before.”

According to Chuyun Fairy and Fairy Chixia's thoughts, they believed that with the two of them present, others, even if they had ill intentions towards Ye Bufan, would show some restraint. But now it seemed they had completely underestimated the other party's determination.

“Then what should we do?”

Qin BuFu frowned, “How about this, I’ll send a message to the Sect Master and Grand Elder right now.”

As one of the Seven Great Families, the Qin Family also had an Immortal Venerable Peak Rank Grand Elder, but his status was too high, and he usually couldn't be disturbed unless it was something major.

“It’s already too late.”

Chuyun Fairy looked up. At this moment, a violent energy fluctuation came from above the valley, a sign that the Yuangu Secret Realm was about to close.
