The eight sects were: Saber Sect, Tyrant Sword Pavilion, Rushing Thunder Sect, Floating Flower Palace, Rogue Alliance, Pill Sect, Divine Weapon Castle, and Dao Sect.
The missing two sects were the Mao Mountain Sect, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The Mao Mountain Sect was extremely powerful. Lei Ao had long since known of this, but he was very curious about that Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
It was said that this sect was very mysterious, mainly used to sell information. No matter what kind of information it was, they would be able to find out about it and even detect good fortune.
And the Heavencraft Pavilion's divine calculation technique never failed. Of course, the fees were also extremely expensive. At the same time, if the intelligence network affected the balance of power, then no matter how much you offered, you wouldn't be able to buy it.
Although he was nominally one of the ten great sects of the Immortal Alliance, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had never participated in the conflicts between various sects, not even once in the Hidden Dragon Battle. They also didn't need the so-called vein crystal mine, just selling intel was enough to make them rich.
"Haven't you contacted them? The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets would probably not come. " Elder Bai asked.
The Taoist elder said, "I've contacted them. Both will arrive tomorrow."
Elder Bai rolled his eyes, "If that's the case, then what's the point of arguing? When they get there, won't they understand everything? "
"Hmph, the Immortal Alliance's Hidden Dragon Arena was snatched away by the Infernal domain. Do you think that's something glorious?" An elder of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion said.
"Humph my ass!" If you don't like it, go get it back? Look at you, don't tell me you've just suffered a great loss? How about it? Was it miserably repaired? " Elder Bai said sarcastically.
"You …"
The Tyrant Sword Pavilion elder stood up with a 'swoosh' and glared at Elder Bai. The other disciples beside him also had expressions of rage on their faces.
"Stop arguing."
A middle-aged man exuded a powerful aura as he stared at the two of them and said, "Elder Bai, regardless of whether or not the demons or the demons have been invited by the Immortal Alliance, the Hidden Dragon Arena being robbed is a matter that concerns the face of the entire Immortal Alliance. I hope that you can temporarily put aside your prejudice and agree with the outsiders."
This middle-aged man was Yang Feng, the Rogue Immortals' Association's Elder. Back then, Lei Ao had helped him in the Immortal Seeking City, so he had a good impression of him.
Elder Bai said, "I don't really care. I'm just afraid that there are people who want to cause trouble for me."
"Elder Bai, the people from the two major powers, Demon and Devil, arrived three days ago. Before you arrived, we attempted to seize the arena back as well …"
The elder of the Fluttering Flower Palace only said half of what he wanted to say, so it wasn't hard to guess the meaning of the remaining words.
"What?" Elder Bai was shocked. According to the information that his sect had gathered, in order to suppress Lei Ao, the various sects had sent out their strongest elites.
Not to mention anything else, just the current descendants of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion weren't any worse off than Lei Ao. But from the meaning behind the words of the Floating Flower Palace's Elder, it seemed as if they had already lost.
"Are you all hiding your true strength?" You want this old man to take the lead? "
"If you want to hide your strength, there's no need for us to bring out your most outstanding disciple."
The Floating Flower Palace's elder intentionally or unintentionally looked at Lei Ao, then said: "Right now, the only one who hasn't participated is your blade faction."
"You guys have already lost, what are we going to use to win? Let them take the stage. " It wasn't that he didn't want Lei Ao to win, it was that he couldn't afford to lose.
The disciples of the seven sects were all defeated. Among them, the Hegemon sword pavilion, the Floating Flower Palace, the Rogue Alliance, and the Dao Sect were all at the ninth level of the Dao Realm and were no weaker than Lei Ao.
Therefore, Elder Bai didn't think that Lei Ao had a high chance of winning and wasn't willing to rush into this muddy water.
"No one wants to lose face, but as a member of the Immortal Alliance, the Saber Sect has an obligation to fight."
Yang Feng indifferently said, "Currently, there are two sides of the disciples from the Demon Area that have appeared in Lin Yuan City. One side is the Shang Ye Pavilion, and the other side is the Heavenly Fiend Castle."
The ones who stole the stage were the disciples of the Heavenly Fiend Castle, but the people from the Shang Ye Pavilion did not participate.
On the other hand, the demi-humans that had appeared in Linyuan City seemed to only be in the front line and not the core disciples of the demi-humans. As a result, they did not go forward to fight for the arena.
Among the forces in the demon territory, the Shang Night Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Stronghold both sent out three people, and the Shang Night Pavilion was filled with women. And the Heavenly Fiend Castle had always been very well-behaved, in the past three days they had already provoked a lot of enemies.
Right now, the person occupying the arena was called Jin Gui. He refined his body into a weapon that was as hard as metal and had terrifyingly high defense. The disciples of the various sects were unable to break his defense, so they were unwilling to lose.
After discussion amongst the crowd, Elder Bai was pressured and had no choice but to let Lei Ao take the field, and before this, he asked Zhao Lin to first get to the bottom of the matter.
Hidden Dragon Arena –
Golden Ghost laughed without restraint, "Hahaha, so this is the power of the Immortal Alliance? This is too disappointing. "
At the same time, a sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts. This Golden Ghost is also one of the younger generation in the Demon Area and is also at the ninth heaven, but just him being able to suppress everyone in the Immortal Alliance is truly a big blow. "
In the past few days, besides the disciples of the top ten sects, there were quite a few young cultivators of the younger generation that went up on stage to challenge them. But the results were all the same; Golden Ghost's attack power was not high, but his defense was invincible among his peers.
This caused him to become more and more arrogant. If it weren't for his seniority, there would be at least a hundred thousand people in the Immortal Alliance who wanted to kill him.
Ever since Zhao Lin lost to Lei Ao, his state of mind had always been extremely suppressed, and at this moment, he didn't wait for Elder Bai's orders before jumping onto the arena, drawing his saber and pointing it at the Golden Ghost.
Jin Gui swept Zhao Lin with a disdainful gaze. "Seven Layered Heavens dares to ascend the arena, is there no one left in the Immortal Alliance?" "Come on, let this old man stand and let you chop him up."
"You're courting death." Zhao Lin was unable to contain his rage and was too lazy to even speak any pleasantries. He attacked with the second move of the Sky Blade Technique.
The Golden Ghost really didn't dodge, allowing Zhao Lin's saber to hack onto his body and emit a clear "clang" sound.
After hitting it, Lei Ao stared fixedly at it, but Zhao Lin flew out in the midst of a shrill cry and dropped straight down from the arena.
Although he knew he would lose, he didn't think he would lose so badly.
With his full strength, not only did he not break the opponent's defense, he even shattered the blade in his hand. The meridians in his wrist that held the blade were also broken.
Elder Bai's pupils constricted as he exclaimed: "Unbreakable Body?!"
"No."
Elder Bai had just finished speaking when the Taoist Elder shook his head and said: "Look carefully, he is just using his body to receive the saber and does not use any cultivation method."
"How can there be such a powerful body in this world?" Elder Bai was surprised, but he did not decrease in the slightest. With a worried look on his face, he asked Lei Ao quietly: "How is it? Are you sure? "If you can't do it, then don't do it."
"No, the weapons that the disciples of the various sects used were not broken. This means that the Golden Ghost's body could withstand the full power attack of the ninth heaven. My strength is not too far from theirs."
Lei Ao shook his head. Although he was at the Great Circle of the Dao, the Great Circle of the Nine Heavens was the same level of strength as the Nine Layered Heavens. It was just that he had a deeper level of skill control.
For example, in the Nine Layered Heavens, one needed fifty percent of one's power to execute the First Style of the Heavenly Saber. One only needed forty percent to execute it after stepping into the Great Perfection Stage. The difference between the Great Perfection Stage and the Nine Layered Heavens was that one could use the lowest power to push the moves, but the power of the moves themselves would not change.
In short, the Great Perfection Stage was a battle that lasted longer than the Nine Layered Heavens.
It wasn't that Lei Ao couldn't break through Golden Ghost's defense, he was just worried that his Snow Edge's toughness wouldn't be able to match up to his opponent's body. If he were to use the Blood Blade, even ten Gold Ghosts wouldn't be enough. It was just that he didn't want his secret to be exposed to others.
Elder Bai understood. Just as he was about to find an excuse to deal with these sects, Lei Ao suddenly said, "In fact, he only has a high defense. He shouldn't be too difficult to deal with."
Elder Bai was taken aback, "What do you mean? The problem now is that no one can break his defense? "
"No, the problem now is to get back into the ring, isn't it?" Lei Ao laughed, "He relied on his defense to occupy the position of arena master, but in reality, he has not defeated the disciples of the various sects. We don't necessarily have to break his defense, as long as we can force him off the arena."
"Yeah." All of a sudden, the elders of the various sects were enlightened. All this while, they had been trying to sneak into their sect. In terms of power, that Jin Gui was not a match for their disciples.
Unfortunately, they woke up too late and their disciples had already gone up on stage. As long as the arena master was still Golden Ghost, they wouldn't be able to challenge him again.
This way, the task fell to Lei Ao.
