Arrogant and domineering, they thought they were invincible.

"Salute Vice Sect Master Yan Nan!"

Another uproar echoed through the mountains and seas.

Yan Nan stood with his hands behind his back, his dark figure exuding cold, distant authority, as he glanced dismissively in the direction of the Guardian. He waved his hand lightly, stepping down from the sky as if walking on stairs, though there was nothing beneath his feet but air.

Dressed in flowing black robes, he resembled a Demon God descending upon the mortal world.

Behind him, Bi Changhong appeared, stirring up another clamorous uproar.

Then followed Chen Gu, Yu Han Yan, Xiang Beidou... they appeared one by one.

The members of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect shouted until their throats were hoarse.

The fervor on their faces seemed almost to fly off, unimaginable that so many powerful figures appeared together today.

How many years has it been since more than three Vice Sect Masters appeared simultaneously?

The memory felt so distant...

Now, witnessing five at once, such joy and excitement drove them mad.

Subsequently, when the slender and coldly indifferent Duan Xiyang appeared in black robes, it reached its peak!

The White Bone Shattering Dream Spear, the top expert on the Cloud Weapon List!

"Chief Duan!"

"Chief invincible!"

"Chief, Chief!"

The call was like a mountain's roar and a sea's tide, infused with endless killing intent and evil qi, as if the gates of hell opened, releasing all the malicious spirits.

A grand feast held in the mortal world!

Duan Xiyang, expressionless, glided forward like a Demon God, flashing shadows through the air, landing straight on the grandstand.

Subsequently, Yan Nan and others advanced with dragon-like and tiger-like strides towards the stage.

In response to the greetings of the Outer World Mountain Sect leaders, Yan Nan and others merely nodded slightly, exchanging a few indifferent words with a supremely arrogant demeanor.

Then they simply walked past.

In stark contrast to Dongfang Sansan's courtesy.

It was evident they held no regard for the figures from the Outer World Mountain Sects.

Yet all the major Outer World Mountain Sect members maintained smiles, unfazed by it.

Yan Nan settled on the grandstand, fixating on the opposite direction, speaking with a voice like a bell, resonating all around.

"Dongfang, long time no see."

Yan Nan's voice clashed like metal, even his greetings brimmed with murderous energy.

His mere words sent airwaves soaring, brimming with prowess.

"Vice Sect Master Yan is as elegant as ever."

Dongfang Sansan stood up with a faint smile, clasping his fists: "Long time no see; I've indeed missed this."

Yan Nan laughed thunderously: "Have you missed me, or my head?"

Dongfang Sansan smiled: "I've indeed longed for Vice Sect Master Yan's head for a millennium."

Yan Nan laughed proudly: "It's a pity, but so far, no one under the heavens has been able to claim my head! Has Dongfang Strategist been disappointed for so long?"

Dongfang Sansan maintained a serene smile: "Why rush it? Facing Vice Sect Master Yan over many years is one of life's great joys."

Bi Changhong laughed heartily and said: "Facing me, is it joyful?"

Chen Gu too laughed heartily: "Facing me then?"

Dongfang Sansan smiled casually: "The two Vice Sect Masters are unexpectedly in such good spirits today, joking with me—could something good be afoot? Perhaps you could share with me, so I too may celebrate."

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Something that brings you joy would naturally cause us displeasure. So, what is it? Today is the day of our grand contest—could the Vice Sect Masters' joy relate to it?"

Bi Changhong and Chen Gu's momentum plummeted, and they clamped their mouths shut, saying nothing more.

This guy is truly clever; with just a few words, he managed to guess our intentions.

Best not to speak to him anymore.

Yan Nan laughed heartily: "Reuniting with a formidable foe at the same stage is also one of life's great pleasures. Why shouldn't one be happy? Dongfang, what do you think of today's grand contest?"

Dongfang Sansan replied: "Nothing much to say; you know my goal, and I know yours. Since everyone is here, we should all achieve our desires."

Yan Nan thought: It's a pity you don't know my goal.

So he said: "However, with both sides sending top-level figures, don't you think the stakes are a bit low? It's a bit unworthy of our presence."

Dongfang Sansan grew cautious, thinking as he said: "Vice Sect Master Yan means... raising the stakes?"

Yan Nan laughed: "Indeed, too little! Since my side is sure to win, naturally I want to maximize the gains."

Dongfang Sansan narrowed his eyes and said: "Your side is sure to win?"

Yan Nan said: "Absolutely!"

Before Dongfang Sansan could speak, Xue Fuxiao sneered: "Heh... Claiming certain victory without even fighting yet, Vice Sect Master Yan, you're overly confident."

Yan Nan looked at Xue Fuxiao: "What? You don't believe?"

Xue Fuxiao said: "I don't believe it for a damn!"

Dongfang Sansan remarked: "Composure!"

Xue Fuxiao corrected himself: "I don't believe it at all!"

Yan Nan squinted: "Xue Fuxiao, as a renowned individual in the world, is your talent merely in clever tongue work? I only ask you, dare to raise the stakes? Do you have the courage?"

Xue Fuxiao snorted angrily: "You say, what to raise!"

Simultaneously, Dongfang Sansan said: "No raising the stakes."

Both spoke at once, falling silent together.

Chen Gu chuckled meaningfully: "Which of you exactly has the final say?"

Xue Fuxiao's lips moved, but he remained silent.

Dongfang Sansan sighed with some helplessness: "Even if we were to raise the stakes, it requires deliberation. Besides, we have esteemed judges from the Outer World Mountain Sect present."
