Dominating the Otherworld Starting with a Snake

When mentioning this progress, Zhao Dong couldn't help but flash a trace of pride and excitement in his eyes, as if he saw the exciting scene at that time again, "Against that background, the morale of our disciples was unprecedentedly high, and they were unstoppable in the battle with Longyan Xianzong! They were slaughtered and lost their armor and weapons, and were completely unable to organize an effective counterattack! It can be said that in that short period of time, we were only one step away from completely defeating Longyan Xianzong!"

However, before he could describe more details of the victory, the red-robed elder who asked the first question had already interrupted him impatiently with a wave of his hand, his tone serious and cold: "Don't talk about irrelevant things. Get to the point directly! What happened later? Why did such a good advantage turn into such a miserable defeat? Is it because that damn Li Twelve has recovered his strength, or is there another hidden story?"

Although his tone was not high, it was mixed with an unquestionable sense of authority, which made Zhao Dong feel the pressure coming again.

"Among the disciples of this generation of Longyan Xianzong, who can have such astonishing strength?" A red-robed elder frowned, his expression full of confusion and shock. A trace of reminiscence flashed in his slightly turbid old eyes, as if he was trying hard to search for some information buried by time. "I vaguely remember... there seems to be a genius cultivator who has been in seclusion for many years, and now the little girl has come out of seclusion? If it's not her, then who could it be?" There was a hint of temptation and disbelief in his tone.

Discussions gradually arose in the hall, like boiling oil falling into cold water.

Countless whispers intertwined, some speculated whether it was the little girl who suppressed the whole scene, and some whispered whether there was some unknown strong man hiding among them. The atmosphere reached its peak, and at this moment, an elder wearing a blood-red robe and with a majestic and cold face suddenly raised his hand to stop the noise.

As his gesture fell, the entire hall instantly returned to silence, leaving only the subtle ripples in the air caused by the breeze.

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Dong, who had been standing silently aside, waiting for him to solve this suspenseful issue.

Zhao Dong sorted out his thoughts for a while, then took a deep breath and slowly answered: "This person is not any of the veteran disciples we are familiar with..."

He paused, and continued, "Rather, he is a new disciple who has just joined the Longyan Immortal Sect not long ago."

As soon as the words fell, it was like a huge rock crashing into a calm lake, and the entire hall exploded with an unconcealable shock!

There were exclamations everywhere, and everyone's face was filled with disbelief. Even the red-robed elders sitting in high positions could not help but show horror.

These few short words were like thunder in the ears, and the impact was so strong that it almost made everyone's heart explode!

"A new disciple!? Such a talented person would go to the declining Longyan Immortal Sect? It is simply unbelievable!" The speaker was the most irritable of the three red-robed elders. At this moment, he was so angry that he slammed the table and pointed his finger at a figure cowering in the corner.

"Zhao Ye!"

The man was about forty years old, thin and slightly hunched. He didn't dare to look up at the crowd, and he felt even more uneasy after hearing this series of sharp words.

Hearing the shout, Zhao Ye's body trembled violently, as if a cold night had suddenly arrived, chilling him to the bone.

Countless groups of scrutinizing eyes pierced him, making him feel uneasy. In an instant, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

He didn't dare look anyone in the eye, let alone the three intimidating elders in front of him. He could only hurriedly lower his head and bow, responding with a trembling voice: "Elder, Elder."

The red-robed elder with the most fiery temper opened his eyes wide, as if fire was about to burst out of them: "Why is it that we in the Saint King Sect have no news at all!" He spoke each word with gritted teeth, squeezing out the last sentence, like a bolt from the blue splitting the air, making everyone in the hall tremble with fear.

Zhao Ye's whole body was stiff, and his hands were shaking even more violently, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "This matter... In fact, this boy has long been recorded in the secret intelligence network, and the relevant information has also been secretly submitted to the disciples participating in the Guanghan Competition this time..."

To prove the truth of his words, he hurriedly took out a book and raised it into the air with trembling hands.

The book cover is simple and plain, exuding an ancient atmosphere, and some key clues are clearly written between the pages.

"This man's surname is Luo and his name is Zhen. It is said that he is an ascender from the human world." As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a heavy bomb that caused a new round of shock at the scene. "When he participated in the entrance examination of Longyan Xianzong, he had already demonstrated a terrifying extraordinary talent; later, when he went through the trial of forging bones in the molten pool, he showed extraordinary qualifications, crushing many masters along the way, and finally even defeated Li Muyan..."

"Huh?! Defeated Li Muyan?" The elder who just mentioned the matter of the closed death gate suddenly interrupted, "This is the girl I was talking about! She was very angry with our Saint King Sect, but I didn't expect it wasn't her this time. But although this girl was able to defeat Li Muyan, it doesn't mean much... The Sixth Elder was about to die, and he sacrificed himself to seize the power of Li Twelve, the kid who defeated Li Muyan. In my opinion, he was not as good as Chu Yuntian at that time. I think that kid must have used some secret method, right? Although there is only Ren Woxing left in the Dragon Flame Immortal Sect, this old guy has a mine behind him, and he must have spent a lot of money for this competition."

The elder's explanation was very logical.

"Elder Hong, actually it's not..." But Zhao Ye shook his head after he finished speaking.

"This boy defeated Chu Yuntian by himself..."
