<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">To ensure that there were no complications, Li Lingxi planted a contract seal directly into the Qingyuan Sect's Grand Elder's mind. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shortly after, the current sect leader of the Qingyuan Sect received an order from the Grand Elder. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As a result, the Qingyuan Sect suddenly gained three temporary disciples. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The sect only had ten recommendation slots, and three of them had already been taken.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Qingyuan Sect leader was puzzled, but he dared not disobey the grand elder's command. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi, along with Su Jingzhen and the others, concealed all their auras and settled into the temporary accommodations arranged for them by the Qingyuan Sect.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Meanwhile, the Grand Elder in the Great Hall was still dazed. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream to him. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If it weren't for the contract seal firmly embedded in his mind, he might have doubted whether it was real at all.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I don't think our Qingyuan Sect has offended that Immortal Emperor, right? Their target is Sword Land. I just hope that they don't do anything too outrageous and drag our Qingyuan Sect into it," 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Unable to comprehend the situation, the old man could only sigh and pray. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In a world where the strong prey on the weak, those with higher cultivation really could do as they pleased.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under the Grand Elder's urging, the Qingyuan Sect quickly concluded their selection process and chose the remaining seven candidates. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The sect leader then brought these seven individuals to the courtyard where Su Jingzhen and the others were staying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Among the seven, only three of them were from the Qingyuan Sect. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The other four were cultivators who had come from who knows where to seize the Qingyuan Sect's slots. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their faces were filled with arrogance. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They looked down on the three Qingyuan Sect disciples and regarded Su Jingzhen's group with open hostility. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was clear that these people were probably from other major sects.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Body cultivation? And it seems like it's only at the Spirit Saint level of body cultivation. The other two are only at the Spirit Immortal realm. With such a low level of cultivation, how could they be directly assigned slots?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The three Qingyuan Sect disciples naturally didn't dare to question their sect leader's decision, but the other four openly expressed their doubts when they saw Su Jingzhen and his companions.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Su Jingzhen and the others didn't bother to explain. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If it came down to actual combat prowess, even though Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao's cultivation levels might seem lacking, they could likely obliterate even Mystic Immortal Realm cultivators in an instant. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for Shengana, while her combat skills might be weaker, her support abilities were unparalleled. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If she were to showcase her incredible healing abilities, even the so-called Saintess Lin Ying would likely fight to have her on her team.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing that Su Jingzhen and the others didn't respond, one of the blue-robed youths frowned and said provocatively, "Sect Leader Wang, although we're not from the Qingyuan Sect, we earned our spots through competition. If just any random person can join us, we won't stand for it."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Another chimed in, "That's right. If those who got the seats were in the Mystic Immortal Realm or even the late-stage Spirit Immortal Realm, we wouldn't say anything. But a Body Cultivator? Forget it."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sect Leader Wang, I suggest that you think carefully. Your Qingyuan Sect is just a third-rate sect. Keeping three of your own disciples to make up the numbers and show face is enough. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Free up the slots for others, or else your Qingyuan Sect might not survive much longer. No one would even care if it fell."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The four of them took turns speaking, their words filled with threats.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sect Leader Wang Zhong's face turned grim. He knew that these four people were probably disciples from other major sects under Sword Land's jurisdiction, possibly even second- or first-class forces. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">During such a grand event, every sect under Sword Land wanted as many slots as possible. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If their disciples were lucky enough to follow Sword Land's core disciples into the Sword Qi Corridor, even if they didn't get any opportunities, they could at least make connections with those core disciples. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Those who were among the top one hundred core disciples of Sword Land were destined to be at the top of the Emperor Realm in the future. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A little favor from them would be immensely beneficial to these second- and third-rate sects.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although Wang Zhong was the sect leader of the Qingyuan Sect, his cultivation was only at the early True Immortal Realm. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although all the sects were under the rule of Sword Land, Sword Land didn't forbid conflicts between the sects. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The law of the jungle prevailed. Thus, he couldn't afford to ignore the threat from these four individuals.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Su Jingzhen and his companions were also under the direct orders of the Grand Elder, indicating that their background was anything but ordinary. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Wang Zhong was caught between a rock and a hard place, not daring to offend either side.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He forced a smile and said, "Young friends, you must be joking. These three young friends have their own unique strengths, that's why they're here. Let's not waste any more time. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">We should go to Tiansnow City now. Whether we can be chosen by the Flying Snow Sword Immortal will depend on another round of selection."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Wang Zhong wanted to change the subject and put this issue behind them. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Tiansnow City's Lin Clan was a first-class force under the Sword Land and the family of the Flying Snow Sword Immortal, Lin Ying. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They were also the Qingyuan Sect's superior sect. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In Wang Zhong's mind, as long as he could deliver Su Jingzhen and the others to Tiansnow City, the Qingyuan Sect would be free of any responsibility.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the four individuals weren't willing to let it go.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sect Leader Wang, don't change the subject. Earlier, you abruptly ended the selection process and eliminated three of our junior brothers. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Let me be clear with you now-we need three more slots. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Either your three Qingyuan Sect disciples leave, or the three you handpicked will leave. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Our three junior brothers have to join us. All seven disciples of our Divine Sword Sect must be present! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If not, your Qingyuan Sect will cease to exist after this matter is over," 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The blue-robed youth issued a direct threat, revealing the name of their sect. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had wanted to confront Wang Zhong earlier when the selection process was over, but they held back to see who Wang Zhong had chosen. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now that they saw Su Jingzhen, they found the situation ridiculous.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing the words, "Divine Sword Sect," Wang Zhong's expression turned even uglier. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He knew that the blue-robed youth wasn't joking. The Divine Sword Sect was a second-rate force under Sword Land, bordering on first-rate. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Their sect had Immortal Lord level experts and could easily annihilate the Qingyuan Sect.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With a bitter sigh, Wang Zhong turned his gaze to the three disciples of the Qingyuan Sect. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">One was at the early Mystic Immortal realm, and the other two were at the late Spirit Immortal realm. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They were the most outstanding disciples of Qingyuan Sect's current generation. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In Wang Zhong's eyes, as long as they could reach Tiansnow City, there was still a small chance that they could be selected by Lin Ying. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was a rare opportunity for Qingyuan Sect to advance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But now, the situation was out of his control. He had no choice but to ask these three disciples to step aside.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The three Qingyuan Sect disciples, two men and one woman, wore expressions of humiliation and bitterness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Su Jingzhen frowned. He hadn't expected such a simple matter to become so complicated. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He had always believed in resolving conflicts peacefully and didn't mind being looked down upon. But when things reached this point, he could no longer tolerate it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He had dared to wipe out teams from top sects like the Great Zhou Immortal Sect and the Profound Heart Sect. A mere second-rate sect like the Divine Sword Sect wasn't worth his concern.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's gaze turned to Wang Zhong and he spoke directly, "Sect Leader Wang, please select four more disciples from the Qingyuan Sect. If you can't, then the Qingyuan Sect will only recommend six people this time. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">These four so-called Divine Sword Sect disciples have been stripped of their participation slots!"
