After all, unlike those guys who were just ordinary super dynasties standing behind them, Qin Tian came from the Tianyuan Dynasty, the strongest dynasty among all the dynasties in the Eastern Xuan Region!

"These guys..." Upon seeing this scene, Lan Ying's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She was equally unimpressed with Qin Tian, ​​after all, the relationship between the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Immortal Dynasty was not exactly harmonious, and the two sides often fought over some resources.

However, she could not deny Qin Tian's strength, not to mention that Qin Tian had not made a move since entering the ancient battlefield, and no one knew whether he had really advanced to the Seventh Nirvana Realm.

"Qin Tian is not comparable to Song Zhen..." Even though Xiao Yan's move had surprised Qing Feng greatly, he still spoke with a solemn expression when he saw Xiao Yan provoking Qin Tian like this.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Tian, ​​suspended in mid-air, lowered his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Little Marten. If he were only at the Sixth Yuan Nirvana Realm, he might have truly chosen to let things slide in the face of the three of them joining forces. But, he was...

clang!

Just as Qin Tian was about to make his move, a melodious bell chime suddenly rang out from Baichao Mountain.

The sound of the bell spread outwards from the top of Baichao Mountain, resounding throughout the entire core area. The bell's chime was melodious and lingered for a long time.

Upon hearing the chime of the bell, everyone's expression changed—

There's still at least half a day before the opening of Bai Chao Mountain. What happened that caused it to open ahead of schedule?

At the summit, the clouds and mist gradually dissipated, and a dazzling sun rose from the top of the mountain. Then, a majestic and powerful voice resounded throughout the land.

"Mount Baichao is open! Those who have reached the Heavenly Rank or the Purple Gold Nirvana Seal, ascend the mountain immediately!"

'It actually rang ahead of schedule...' Qin Tian frowned even more as he looked up at the mountaintop. Before setting off, he had asked the emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty to confirm that the opening time of Baichao Mountain had never been brought forward, but this time it had broken the rule that had been in place for thousands of years.

Realizing that simple thinking was meaningless, Qin Tian turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with the thought that Xiao Yan was lucky. With a casual wave of his sleeve, the subordinate lying on the ground fell into Qin Tian's hands.

Then, Qin Tian didn't say anything more. He turned around, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and transformed into a streak of red light, rushing straight towards the mountaintop. Behind him, the uninjured person followed closely behind.

As Qin Tian took the lead, Liu Bai and the others couldn't contain their excitement and burst out, rushing towards the mountain.

"Phew, although I don't know why Baichao Mountain opened early, it saved your lives!" Qingfeng didn't follow, but let out a long breath and said.

"Yes, he saved my life..." Xiao Yan didn't show any displeasure towards Qingfeng, who could barely be considered a friend. He slumped his shoulders and chuckled softly.

'Yes, the bell saved Qin Tian and the elders of the super sects' lives...' Lin Dong muttered to himself. Just now, Xiao Yan was clearly planning to go on a killing spree. If he hadn't been careful, the elders and deacons of the super sects would have died on the spot.

"Good to know," Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. "Qin Tian is not someone to be trifled with. If nothing unexpected happens, he is already at the Seventh Nirvana Realm. If you encounter him in the future, it's best to surrender as soon as possible!" She earnestly advised Xiao Yan and the others.

In Lan Ying's view, Lin Dong had saved Ling Qingzhu, and Xiao Yan and Lin Dong had a good relationship. If nothing unexpected happened, everyone present would join the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. Building good relationships with them as soon as possible would also help them have better development in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Alright, we'll go up first. You guys should catch up as soon as possible." Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't want to say anything more, Lan Ying didn't say anything more either. She nodded and then headed towards the top of the mountain.

After everyone had left, Lin Dong looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "So, what happened just now? How did it suddenly..."

With Mo Ling, Su Rou, and others present, Lin Dong couldn't be too direct, since in their eyes, Xiao Yan and he were just relatively strong Fourth-Element Nirvana Realm cultivators.

“I acted impulsively,” Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. “He reminded me of someone I hate, and moreover, someone whose family is so powerful that even if I defeat him, I can’t bring myself to hurt him properly…”

The family's powerful influence is one reason, but another is that Xun'er is also a member of the ancient clan. If he really wanted to be ruthless, even if he didn't want to make things difficult for Xun'er, he wouldn't be able to be ruthless.

"So, Qin Tian became the substitute?" Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Lin Dong instantly understood—

In other words, Lin Langtian had already died at his hands. Otherwise, if he saw someone who was extremely similar to Lin Langtian in every way, he would most likely have regarded that person as Lin Langtian's "replacement".

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing Lin Dong's expression, Xiao Yan felt that Lin Dong was overthinking things, but he didn't intend to say anything more. He waved his hand, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a black shadow and sped away.

Swish swish!

As Xiao Yan darted out, more than a dozen whooshing sounds echoed behind him. Then, one figure after another, amidst the envious gazes of those who had not yet obtained the Heavenly Nirvana Seal, soared towards the mountaintop.

To accommodate Su Kui, Xiao Yan and his group did not travel very fast. In addition, they were not among the first to head to the mountaintop. Therefore, when they arrived at the summit, there were already quite a few people on the bluestone plaza.

Are you going to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?

After finding a spot to stand in the square, Xiao Yan looked up at the people sitting on the chairs formed by the interwoven light in the air and casually asked a question.

"Hmm... I probably won't go." Lin Dong also looked up.

The first person the two saw was Liu Tong, who was sitting in the head seat and had his eyes slightly narrowed. Then, sitting to his left was a still-charming and beautiful woman. The moon-white robe she wore proved her identity as an elder of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

"Because that Ling Qingzhu is from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

“Because she has a very high status in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace,” Lin Dong smiled helplessly, “She is arrogant and has a high status... If I join the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, wouldn’t I be seen as someone who takes advantage of someone’s kindness?”

"And don't just talk about me, what about you? Are you still planning to join the Dao Sect? Not going to change your mind?"

Lin Dong's gaze fell on Wu Dao. Although according to Xiao Yan's investigation that year, Dao Zong, which had a grudge against Yuan Men but had never taken the initiative to retaliate, was very suspicious, Lin Dong did not think that Wu Dao, this elder of Dao Zong, was suspicious. In fact, his hatred for Liu Tong, the steward of Yuan Men, was not fake at all.

"We can't exactly go to Yuanmen, can we?" Xiao Yan chuckled casually. "There are three sect leaders there!"

If the Yuan Sect is the problematic sect, then Xiao Yan will be facing three Reincarnation Realm cultivators chasing him. Even though Xiao Yan, who is already a Great Ascension Immortal Talisman Master, feels he can defeat one if he goes all out, facing three...

Even escaping might be a problem.

“That’s true,” Lin Dong sighed. “Then, I’ll go to the Dao Sect too.”

"What, you can't bear to part with me?"

“No, Xiao Diao has a grudge against the Yuan Sect, and then the Dao Sect also has a grudge against the Yuan Sect. Regardless of whether the Dao Sect has any problems, joining it will not prevent me from taking action against the Yuan Sect,” Lin Dong spread his hands. “Even if I kill an elder, I can shift the blame to ‘Yan Xiao’.”

Lin Dong spoke the second half of his sentence very softly, and apart from Xiao Yan and Xiao Diao, no one else could hear it clearly.

"Ahem." Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Little Marten couldn't help but cough, almost bursting out laughing.

"Isn't this going too far?"

The group chatted quietly, waiting for the opening of Hundred Dynasty Mountain and the start of the most important Nirvana Golden Ranking Battle. Of course, Xiao Yan also made sure to explain the reason for the previous spatial fluctuations to the powerful figures from the Western Xuan Region who were eyeing the ancient battlefield.

Then, quite coincidentally, after learning that the spatial fluctuations were caused by the explosion of a formation with a fixed spatial effect going out of control, Zheng Zhong, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the Western Xuan Region's experts, suggested that they take action immediately after the Nirvana Golden Ranking Battle began in the Eastern Xuan Region.

Once it was confirmed that everything was ready and that none of the primordial spirit messages from the powerful figures of the Eastern Xuan Region could escape, the proposal was immediately approved.

Just as Xiao Yan had predicted, the Nirvana Golden Ranking Battle wouldn't proceed as planned. Once the people from the Western Xuan Region left, or all of them died here, the Hundred Dynasties War should officially end, and the battle would directly transition to the selection of disciples by the major super sects...

"Everyone, it's almost time."

In mid-air, Liu Tong, who was sitting at the head of the light chair, opened his eyes, glanced indifferently at the throng of people on the top of Baichao Mountain below, and then looked at the people from other super sects and said.

Hearing his words, the other seven nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Tong slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and glanced around. The various noises on the mountaintop gradually subsided, and everyone looked at him with awe.

Liu Tong's lips curled slightly at such gazes; he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being looked up to.

"I am Liu Tong, a steward of the Yuan Sect..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a strange power suddenly erupted from the higher sky.

"Heh, the battle for the Nirvana Golden List? We're quite looking forward to it, but let's forget about it. After all, we're getting a little impatient waiting..."

Dark clouds seeped out from that void, then spread out, blotting out the sun. Within those dark clouds, one could vaguely see some figures.

"Who goes there!"

Above the sky, the expressions of the powerful figures from the eight super sects changed drastically, their eyes sharp as they stared at the dark clouds.

"It's starting," Xiao Yan chuckled. "Step back a little, don't get hurt." He gently instructed Mo Ling and the others, who were looking at the sky with blank expressions.

In the sky, dark clouds spread wildly. After a moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, and black light descended. A dozen figures, their bodies enveloped in black light, slowly condensed in mid-air.

As these dozen or so figures appeared, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth immediately surged, and an indescribable and terrifying fluctuation spread from their bodies. The immense pressure made everyone on the mountaintop feel as if they could not move.

"Humph!"

While the crowd on the mountaintop was in a state of panic, eight powerful figures from super sects in the sky, with cold expressions, snorted and then unleashed equally powerful Yuan energy fluctuations, resisting the Yuan energy pressure from those people.

Chapter 280 Chaotic Situation

"So it's you guys from the Western Xuan Region again. You've got some nerve, not only infiltrating our Eastern Xuan Region, but you even dare to make a move here!"

Liu Tong stared at the group of dark figures and sneered, clearly recognizing their origins.

"Haha, isn't this Liu Tong, the deacon of the Yuan Sect?" Among the dozen or so figures, the leader laughed loudly, the black light above his head dissipated, revealing the smiling face of a middle-aged man.

"Zheng Zhong?" Upon seeing this man's appearance, Liu Tong frowned. "You didn't come here just to interfere with the Hundred Dynasties War in my Eastern Xuan Region, did you?"

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers inside his sleeve, and a golden light shot out from his fingertips, then tried to disappear into the space.

"How should I put it?" Zheng Zhongquan pretended not to notice that Liu Tong was about to send a message through his primordial spirit, and looked as if he was thinking about how to express his purpose.

As Zheng Zhong pondered, just before the golden light that had been spurting from Liu Tong's hand was about to enter the spatial rift, a huge circle of black runes suddenly appeared, and with a flash of black light, directly deflected the golden light back.

"Your Eastern Xuan Region has occupied this ancient battlefield for quite a while now, hasn't it?" Zheng Zhong laughed as the expression of the powerful figures from the Eastern Xuan Region's super sects changed drastically. "In order to take this ancient battlefield away, we even brought the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram with us. Don't worry, no matter how much commotion there is, your sect leader won't notice!"

"The Heaven-Sealing Formation Diagram?!"

Wu Dao, who had intended to try and break through the black rune's seal, frowned upon hearing these four words. "You actually brought out this Pure Yuan Treasure?!"

"Hey, there's no way around it. This ancient battlefield is a great place. It has countless heritages. If given the chance, who wouldn't want to devour it completely and digest it all?"

As long as we establish an array within this space, the strongest beings in our Western Xuan Region will be able to directly teleport this space to our Western Xuan Region!

As for these geniuses from the Eastern Xuan Region... we, the Western Xuan Region, will gladly accept them!" Zheng Zhong laughed wildly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao's tightly furrowed brows relaxed somewhat. "Your preparations are indeed thorough, but... are you really that confident in setting up an array right under our noses? The eight of us shouldn't be so easily ignored, should we?"

Since only these people infiltrated the ancient battlefield this time, Wu Dao was confident that he could stop them from setting up the formation. Moreover, as long as he could delay them for about a day, the leaders of the major sects would definitely notice something was wrong...

“Hehe, you are all experts from your respective sects, so we naturally dare not ignore you,” Zheng Zhong’s expression turned strange. “But, as long as we trap you all… wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

"Trapped us? I'm afraid you don't have the ability!" Liu Tong sneered.

"That's not necessarily true... Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram, spatial blockade!" In an instant, Zheng Zhong's hand seals suddenly changed.

boom!

With the help of the powerful figures in the Western Xuan Region, the eight people who had attained enlightenment were trapped in a cage formed by huge ancient runes. However, in order to trap the eight people who had attained enlightenment, most of the powerful figures in the Western Xuan Region, led by Zheng Zhong, were fully engaged in activating the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram, and even Liu Shan was also looking like he was giving it his all.

Of course, Liu Shan, whom Xiao Yan controlled, was merely putting on an act. In reality, Xiao Yan's mind had already penetrated into the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram, a pure primordial spiritual treasure.

"Cao Yu, set up the formation! We need to trap these old guys and can't afford to be distracted, so the formation is yours!" Zheng Zhong, unaware of the anomaly in the Heaven-Sealing Formation, raised his head and roared at the dark clouds.

"Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed without mercy!"

When he finished speaking, Zheng Zhong's cold gaze turned to the contestants of the Hundred Dynasties Battle on the mountaintop.

"Yes!"

As soon as Zheng Zhong finished speaking, a response came from within the dark clouds. Then, nearly ten figures carrying powerful Yuan energy fluctuations flashed out from the dark clouds and swaggered to a stop some distance away from Baichao Mountain.

"Are these the geniuses from the major dynasties of the Eastern Xuan Region? They look quite ordinary!" A young man with a somewhat effeminate face said with a smile as he looked at the group on the mountaintop.
