At this moment, more and more Cultivators were gathering. Among them, quite a few had already recognized Duan River of the Fire Spirit Sect. Everyone greatly envied the Tier Nine Spiritual Artifact Li Xiaohu effortlessly wielded. However, when they considered the notorious dominance of the Fire Spirit Sect and the power of their Cultivation Techniques, many couldn't help but shake their heads in pity as they looked at Li Xiaohu.

"That's a disciple of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. Without any Magical Artifacts, simply wearing the Exorcism Armor is enough to trade blows with a Cultivator using Magical Artifacts. Moreover, this Fire Spirit Sect disciple is already wielding their famous Fire Spirit Cauldron Magical Artifact! Where did this Cultivator come from, to be so audacious!"

"Haha, the tickets we bought this time were worth it! The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's recruitment competition hasn't even started, and there's already an exciting battle to watch!"

"Sigh, that young man doesn't seem very old, but he's certainly fiery. Of all people to provoke, he had to provoke the Fire Spirit Sect. I bet he's going to be killed on the spot!"

"That's a disciple of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect? The Fire Spirit Sect, hailed as one of the top three Immortal Sects in the Western Region!"

"Keep your voice down! Didn't you see the famous Flame Saber Earth Immortal from the Fire Spirit Sect over there?"

The crowd's discussion clearly showed they were not optimistic about Li Xiaohu's chances. After all, even with a rare Tier Nine Spiritual Artifact, a Cultivator's own strength was crucial; moreover, the Fire Spirit Sect disciple also possessed a Magical Artifact!

Just then, a few Cultivators suddenly flew over from a distance. One figure flashed and landed right between Li Xiaohu and the Fire Spirit Sect disciple, Yang Ding. This Cultivator activated a large amount of True Qi to protect his entire body. After the True Qi manifested, it formed a vivid Spiritual Crane. Simultaneously, he drew the Longsword from his waist and shouted, "Everyone, halt! This is the Cultivation Field of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! Today is also the day of our Sect's recruitment competition! Are you two planning to ruin our grand event and show such disrespect to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect?"

Li Xiaohu, who was already prepared to strike first, glanced at the newcomer and then helplessly looked at Lin Xuankong. "Foster father, this…"

Yang Ding, the Fire Spirit Sect disciple, calmly responded, "Fellow Daoist of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, we from the Fire Spirit Sect haven't even entered your Cultivation Field, nor have we formally participated in your Sect's grand event. This fellow Daoist and I are just having a friendly spar. Is that not allowed? Your Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is quite domineering!"

The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciple's expression turned unsightly upon hearing this, and he was about to retort when, from the clouds above, Flaming Blade Duan River spoke coldly,

"Heh, a disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, are you?

"Even if the Earth Immortals from your Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were here, they would come to greet me, Flaming Blade Duan River. Even your Sect Leader must show me some respect!

"And you dare to accuse my Fire Spirit Sect disciple of intending to ruin your recruitment competition without any basis?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect looked towards Flaming Blade Duan River in the clouds. Recognizing his appearance, the disciple's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he bowed and cupped his hands, "So, it is the Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. I am Huang Xishang, a disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, acting on my Master's orders to maintain order at the entrance of the Cultivation Field! Well… I saw someone intending to cause trouble and, in my haste to intervene, failed to notice Vice Sect Leader Duan's presence. My apologies for the disrespect!"

Flaming Blade Duan River sneered again. "Since you know who I am, then stand aside! My Fire Spirit Sect disciple and this arrogant fellow are merely sparring; they will not ruin your Sect's grand event!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xishang, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciple, looked uncomfortable. However, feeling the immense pressure from the abundant Immortal Yuan radiating from Flaming Blade Duan River, he could only clench his teeth and retreat step by step.

Seeing this, the surrounding Cultivators couldn't help but exchange looks, their expressions shifting. When they looked at Flaming Blade Duan River again, their eyes showed intense fear.

Previously, some of these Cultivators from various Dynasties and Immortal Sects might not have known of Flaming Blade Duan River. But after witnessing this scene, the tens of thousands of Cultivators present palpably felt this man's domineering and unyielding power! This was the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's territory, and their recruitment competition was about to begin. Yet, Flaming Blade Duan River showed no regard for their disciples! Did this not mean that the dignified Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect wasn't even worthy of Flaming Blade Duan River's attention? This clearly demonstrated his formidable background and strength!

For a moment, the Cultivators, stunned by Flaming Blade Duan River's dominance, fell silent, not even daring to discuss him further!

At this moment, Yang Ding, the Fire Spirit Sect disciple facing Li Xiaohu, displayed an extremely smug expression.

"Did you see that?

"This is the might of my Fire Spirit Sect!

"So what if it's the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's recruitment competition? So what if they are disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect? They still have to behave before us!

"As for you, I'll give you a chance. In front of these tens of thousands of Cultivators, kneel and kowtow in apology to me, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaohu's eyes narrowed.
