After saying these simple words, Gu Xi and the other two immediately left.

Everyone present looked at each other in dismay. No one dared to stop them. In fact, they even opened up a path one after another, afraid that they would once again incur Gu Xi's displeasure. After all, the heaven-grade spirit array had yet to dissipate, whether or not it would work was merely a matter of Gu Xi's will.

“Hall Master.”

Seeing the three of them swagger away, Bo Ye also looked at the Hall Master with a complicated expression.

The Hall Master slowly shook his head and let out a long sigh, “No need to say anything more. This matter… will end here.”

Hearing this, Bo Ye also let out a sigh. His gaze once again fell on the backs of Gu Xi and the other two as they gradually left. His heart was filled with mixed feelings and was filled with displeasure.

He had never expected that they would fail to recruit these three younglings into their sect even if they tried their best.

“Pass down my orders. The entire sect will take stock of the casualties and losses. From today onwards, our Hall of Flowing Light will officially close our sect and recuperate!”

After an unknown period of time, the Hall Master's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

…

In the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Jingyang City.

In a quiet and elegant room, Tong Shan was sipping tea with that woman.

“Pavilion Master, there's a situation.”

A disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion knocked on the door and immediately reported everything that had happened in the Hall of Flowing Light.

“What?! The Hall of Flowing Light was actually…”

After hearing the Disciple's report, Tong Shan almost spat out a mouthful of tea. “Are you sure this news is true?”

He turned his head to look at the disciple, his eyes filled with doubt.

The disciple nodded his head with certainty, “This incident happened not long ago. They caused a huge ruckus inside. Furthermore, it is said that the Hall of Flowing Light has even used a Sect-protection Formation Array, but they are still not a match for the three of them. “Now, the Hall of Flowing Light has declared that it is closed to the outside world, but it has not explained the specific reason.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Shan narrowed his eyes. His heart was already filled with shock.

Although Hall of Flowing Light was not considered the strongest sect and faction in the Eastern Continent, its overall strength could be imagined for it to be able to become a first-rate faction. Now, it had actually been severely injured by three young people of unknown origins…

“It is understandable that such a shameful matter is not announced to the outside world.”

The woman said faintly, sipping the tea in front of her with her jade-like hand. She continued, “Pavilion Master Tong, it seems that those people have quite a deep background. Find an opportunity to make contact with them. It would be best if they could be used by our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”

Tong Shan nodded and immediately fell into deep thought.

…

In an inn in Jingyang City.

In a room, Gu Xi was sitting cross-legged, and the spiritual energy around her was flowing irregularly.

“It seems like it's time to break through.”

Not long after, Gu Xi slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

He was now only one step away from the intermediate Saint stage. With the help of the Saint Breakthrough Pill that he had refined on the spirit boat, he should be able to break through the bottleneck!

Thinking of this, Gu Xi took out a jade bottle. After opening it, a rich pill fragrance assailed his nostrils, and immediately filled every corner of the room.

Dong dong dong —

At the same time, a knock on the door rang out at an inappropriate time.

Gu Xi frowned and put away the pill with a flip of his hand, feeling somewhat vigilant in his heart.

Ever since the three of them returned from the Hall of Flowing Light, Little Nine and Qing Zhu had also returned to their rooms to recover from their injuries and exhaustion, while Song Qingluan was busy taking care of Elder Yun and Elder Gu. What kind of person would come looking for him at such a time?

“Who is it?” Gu Xi asked tentatively.

“My Young Friend, it's me, Tong Shan.” Tong Shan's voice was heard from outside the door.

After confirming that it was Tong Shan's voice, Gu Xi became even more puzzled.

He did not have a deep relationship with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so what was it that made Tong Shan come looking for him personally?

Moreover, as far as he knew, the Hall of Flowing Light had chosen to keep the news of the incident that he had caused in the hall a secret. Therefore, even Jingyang City, which was more than a hundred miles away from the Hall of Flowing Light, had no reaction. Otherwise, Jingyang City would have exploded long ago.

But apart from this matter, he really could not think of anything else.

Even though Gu Xi was extremely puzzled, he still hurriedly got up and opened the door. Although Tong Shan was only a Branch Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the one standing behind him was the genuine number one Chamber of Commerce in the world. He could not just leave him hanging outside.

“What brings Pavilion Master Tong to my side?” Gu Xi invited Tong Shan into the room to take a seat and asked with a smile.

“Naturally, I have a favor to ask.” Tong Shan did not beat around the bush. Instead, he went straight to the point.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows and looked as if he was willing to hear the details.

Tong Shan cleared his throat. First, he looked at Gu Xi with a complicated gaze. Then, he continued, “Do you know about the Grand Sect Competition in half a month's time?”

Gu Xi did not say anything. Instead, he shook her head slowly.

After going through a lot of trouble to return to the Eastern Continent, he had naturally not caught up with the news in the Eastern Continent during this period of time.

“The Grand Sect Competition includes almost all the top sects and influences on the continent. It also determines the levels of many sects…”

Seeing that Gu Xi did not know, Tong Shan explained everything to him. He was not anxious at all. Instead, he answered all of Gu Xi's questions.

All in all, this Grand Sect Competition was a grand event that was held once every five years in the Eastern Continent. Regardless of the size of the Eastern Continent, almost all the sects would send their most elite disciples to participate. And according to the final ranking of the competition, it determined the level of the sects in the entire continent.

It must be known that there were only a dozen first-rate forces in the entire Eastern Continent, dozens of second-rate forces, and countless third-rate forces and those below.

According to the level of the forces, each sect enjoyed completely different treatment within the territory of their country. This was one of the reasons why almost all the sects chose to participate in the Grand Sect Competition.

There was also an even more important reason. The sects that were ranked in the top three could choose three outstanding disciples from their sects to go to the sects from the Central Plains to study and cultivate!

It had always been the case in the grand Grand Sect Competitions. The disciples who were lucky enough to go to the Central Plains to study would have their strength greatly improved after they returned from their studies, and they would all become the mainstay of the sect. It was not unheard of for someone to become the next Sect Master with his outstanding talent!

“May I know what you wish to tell me, Pavilion Master Tong?”

After listening to Tong Shan's explanation, Gu Xi smiled indifferently.

And in his heart, he had already roughly guessed Tong Shan's purpose for this trip.

“I hope… Young Friend can represent our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to participate in this Grand Sect Competition.”
