Chapter 679
While Su Mo was sighing, Zuoqiu Ting came from the pavilion where Holy Teal Dragon Sect stayed .
“Xun Yue, long time no see . How is everything going?” Zuoqiu Ting greeted Qian Xunyue with a smile .
Qian Xunyue certainly drew the most attention . She wore a moon-white dress and her long black hair trailed over her shoulder . She sat quietly like a fairy .
Not only many young men but also quite a few elder experts were fascinated by her beauty .
Everyone on the East Continent had heard of how beautiful the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven was, yet few of them had the chance to witness it .
Within their gazes burned with eagerness to engage with her, Zuoqiu Ting was the only one to greet her first .
“Great . Thanks for your concern, Brother Zuoqiu . ” Qian Xunyue gave a gentle smile .
Zuoqiu Ting nodded . Then his forehead furrowed slightly at her aloof courtesy .
He continued, “Xun Yue, can I visit you after the meeting?”
Qian Xunyue, a little helpless, refused, “I’d love to, but I intend to seclude myself after the meeting . ”
Her polite refusal was palpable .
“Ha ha, never mind . Let’s make it another day . There will always be time . ” Zuoqiu Ting shook his head and bid farewell to Huangfu Qing and other peak masters before he left .
When he turned around, his smile faded immediately . A crafty look came to his eyes .
However, Zuoqiu Ting’s response had left Qian Xunyue perplexed . * “What does he mean by ‘There will always be time . ’?”*
Su Mo watched disapprovingly as Zuoqiu Ting disappeared in his vision . “What a persistent man! He has been pursuing Qian Xunyue for decades and he still sticks to it . ”
“Why would he be so obstinate? She doesn’t like you . ”
Huangfu Qing, poker-faced, eyed Zuoqiu Ting and then shot a quick glance at Qian Xunyue . His mouth curved into a mysterious smile .
Time passed slowly . Soon the members of Thunder Mountain arrived . Thunder Mountain had almost dominated the Thunder Domain .
They all cultivated the power of thunder, so there were bolts of lightning flashing on them and this made their aura more destructive .
The party was very large as it was led by several elders and included more than 200 excellent young fighters .
Su Mo glanced around them and spotted a familiar figure . It was a gaunt young man in blue .
This man must be the one that survived from the fight for Demonic Sword . Su Mo recalled that there were two men who flashed with lightning at that time, and he had killed one of them and injured this one .
He did not know the man’s name, but he was sure that the man must be on the list of Top 1,000 Talents .
After Thunder Mountains took their seats, they started to study the early arrivals .
The man apparently noticed Su Mo and his eyes glittered with ruthlessness .
So far, with the exception of the Stars Swordplay Sect, the seven major forces had arrived . They were Celestialspirit Sect, Cold-blood Hall, Topmost Palace, Ninth Heaven Sect, Thunder Mountain, and Holy Teal Dragon Sect .
As time went on, some of them were getting impatient .
“Why is the Stars Swordplay Sect late?”
“They will come, won’t they?”
“I’ve been looking forward to meeting Wenren Tiandu!”
The place was buzzing with discussion . Su Mo’s brows drew together . “What’s the point of coming here if he couldn’t see Wenren Tiandu?”
Another hour had passed and they were on the verge of anger .
Stars Swordplay Sect finally came . Several people landed on the White Jade Square .
While being led by three elders, the sect only brought less than 20 disciples .
Su Mo soon fixed his eyes on a tall young man in the team .
The man was very good looking yet gave him a feeling as fierce as a sharp blade .
“He must be Wenren Tiandu,” thought Su Mo .
Then he heard the discussion around and knew he was wrong .
“Wenren Tiandu didn’t come!”
“He must have left for the Central Continent . I heard he was searching for opportunities . ”
“Maybe . ”
“Since Jian Chen is here, the Stars Swordplay Sect still has the odds in their favor . ”
Su Mo realized that the man was not Wenren Tiandu, but Jian Chen .
This man came third in Top 1000 Talents in East Continent . Though weaker than Wenren Tiandu, he was still stronger than most people .
Su Mo was a little disappointed . He had intended to meet Wenren Tiandu from whom he wanted to learn more about Archean martial artists with multi-Spiritual Spirals .
Him not being here made this gathering kind of boring .
He would rather choose to leave here right now and find somewhere else to increase his level so that he could set off for the Central Continent as soon as possible .
But he could not, not with his Master Huangfu Qing present .
Now that the seven major forces were all here as well as the other small forces, the Blood Emperor slowly rose .
“Now I announce that the Talents’ Grand Gathering begins!”
His scarlet eyes moved over all the attendants before he added, “But I suggest we should settle the contest rules first . ”
Seeing no disagreement, the Vice Palace Master Tai Shen gave his advice . “What about letting them challenge each other freely? It’s simple and easy . ”
“I agree!”
“Me too!”
The elders from other forces all agreed with him .
This kind of competition also saved a lot of time as no one would casually challenge someone above him, which significantly slashed the time .
Blood Emperor nodded and said, “Well, I have no objection, either . Every participant is allowed to call for a challenge as they wish . I announce that the contest begins!”
Then he sat down .
Soon, a young man in black flew out and stood in the square .
The man looked old-fashioned . He was very tall and had a strong aura . He had reached Lv 7 True Darkness Realm .
“Let Cold-blood Hall start this off, shall we?” he said coldly as he glanced around the pavilions and looked for a proper opponent .
Soon his eyes stopped on Jun Wuxi, who was beside Su Mo .
“Jun Wuxi, you’re one spot ahead of me on the list! Let’s fight!” called the man .
Jun Wuxi was a little surprised . Being in the first fight was the last thing he had expected .
