Chapter 64: Fang Yun's Gathering

  Fang Yunshan's four Jiedan period cultivators were taken aback, not expecting that a Lianqi period cultivator from the opposing crowd would dare to interrupt their conversation with such an air of dominance.

  Huoyunmen's Huoyu Zhenren's eyes flashed with anger: "A mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, what qualifications do you have to speak here?"

  As soon as this was said, the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators of Fangyun Mountain couldn't help but secretly sigh at Huoyu Zhenren's rashness.

  This cloud is obviously led by Sun Lin and this black-robed youth, and the black-robed youth is only fifteen or sixteen years old. His cultivation is approaching the foundation-building period. Such a genius, in the entire Bi Xue Xiang Yun Sect, will definitely not be low-ranking.

  A glimmer of murderous intent flashed in Nanming's icy eyes as he stared at Huoyu Zhenren: "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to be impudent in front of me, Nanming? Do you not believe I can annihilate you right now?"

  A cultivator in the Refining Qi stage actually dared to say that he would destroy an ancestor in the Condensing Dan stage? The vast majority of people present felt it was unbelievable.

  For a moment, there was an awkward silence among the dozen or so people present.

  Under the gaze of Nan Ming, Huo Yu Zhen Ren unexpectedly felt a faint pressure, first stunned, then suddenly realized, just about to make a move when Sun Lin rushed over from beside Nan Ming to persuade him.

  "This Daoist friend, please don't get angry. Nanming is my junior fellow apprentice and also the most favored disciple of my revered master Tianlai Shangren. If there's any offense, Sun Lin will apologize on his behalf here."

  Sun Lin's words were like a basin of cold water, causing Huo Yuexing's anger to be extinguished instantly.

  The four Jindan cultivators of Fangyun Mountain naturally sensed the meaning behind Sun Lin's words, and the apology was false, while the warning and threat were probably true.

  "It turned out that Tianlai Shangren's beloved disciple had been walking in the underworld. Huoyu Zhenren let out a hearty laugh, his face looking somewhat unsightly, but he could only swallow down a surge of resentment."

  It's best not to offend this talented young man, and Ou Yang Old Ancestor and the others couldn't help but come to this conclusion.

  Don't mention that he is the master of the Yuan Ying period behind him, even if it's for his potential to become a Yuan Ying period in the future, you can't afford to offend him easily. Otherwise, any little thing would be enough to make Fang Yunshan's three factions extinct.

  At this moment, four Dan-stage cultivators from the three factions of Fang Yunshan also felt a sense of helplessness and sorrow in their hearts.

  Since when did a Dan-stage elder of Fangyun Mountain have to humble himself in front of a low-ranking cultivator who hadn't even grown out his hair yet.

  Xianyun Sect's Old Ancestor Qiu Yunhe came over and smoothed things out, his gaze lingering on Nanming and Muxuan for a moment before smiling and saying: "Since this Nanming Daoist friend is interested in the Cloud Gathering Convention, then please, let's all go take a look together."

  Nan Ming's expression didn't change, he let out a light hum and said indifferently: "Alright, you lead the way."

  "Alright..." Qiu Yunhe smiled and rushed towards Nanming, leading the way for these people.

  And so, a single sentence from Nan Ming decided the fate of these dozen or so people before him.

  The venue of the Fangyun Gathering is located on the top of Tianling Peak in Xianyun Sect, which is still 50-60 miles away from here. Even if there are Jiedan period cultivators driving their flying swords, they cannot arrive quickly.

  During the flight, it's natural to chat.

  Bixue Xiangyunzong's Sun Lin's gaze fell on Ouyang Old Ancestor once again, with a few threads of strangeness in his eyes.

  Ouyang Tiande had long discovered that this Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed to be very interested in him, and his heart was also faintly uneasy, unsure of the other's intentions.

  Although they are all in the Congealing Dan stage, Sun Lin's cultivation is obviously higher than that of Ouyang Old Ancestor and others.

  "What is this Taoist friend's name?" Sun Lin asked with a smile towards Ouyang Old Ancestor.

  Although Ou Yang was puzzled in his heart, he quickly replied: "My surname is Ou Yang, my name is Tian De. I don't know what instructions you have for me, Master Sun?"

  Sun Lin uttered an "oh" and seemed to say casually, "Fellow Daoist, you remind me of a Yuan period high-ranking official from several hundred years ago. That senior was a loose cultivator and had a loud name called Purple Extreme Loose Cultivator."

  When he said this, Sun Lin quietly observed Ouyang Tiande's expression, but didn't discover any clues.

  "Zi Ji San Ren? I've never heard of this person, and I only reached the Jie Dan stage nearly a hundred years ago." Ou Yang Tian De's face showed a few threads of doubt.

  "How could fellow Taoist suddenly ask about this matter?" Ouyang Tiande asked back.

  "It's just that I suddenly remembered this person."

  ……

  Xianyun Sect, Tianling Peak.

  Zhang Heng stood silently in the crowd, gazing at the dueling platform shrouded in a green glow.

  He has been watching here for several days and hasn't found many monks with outstanding abilities. Compared to the trial platform, he is also lacking in interest.

  Was there really no one else who could pose a threat to him below the foundation building stage? Zhang Heng thought to himself.

  Although Fang Yun's gathering of martial arts was not in his eyes, Zhang Heng still insisted on coming here every day to watch each martial arts competition.

  About a dozen meters away from him, Wu Ling was intently watching each match with an utterly fascinated expression.

  Compared to this guy, he indeed lacked some patience. Zhang Heng admired Wu Ling's endurance and didn't believe that this child would have any interest in a battle of this level.

  Wu Ling had already charged into the top twenty in the previous trials, and now there was nothing more to be done.

  Finally, the round of fighting on stage came to an end.

  At this time, an elder of the foundation period stood up and said to the people below: "From the next match onwards, it will be a competition for the top ten rankings before the Fang Yun gathering."

  The cultivators below the stage were in an uproar, but Fang Yun was only one of the top ten, and this honor would inevitably be out of reach for most of the cultivators below the stage.

  "The two sides of the next match are Xianyun Sect's Ge Yun and Fengxing Gate's Yuwen Lin."

  As soon as the voice fell, there was another commotion in the audience, and even Zhang Heng became interested.

  Xianyun Zong Ge Yun and Feng Xingmen Yuwen Lin are both cultivators of the Fangyun Mountain's Qi Refining Great Perfection, their cultivation is absolutely top-notch among all the disciples in the Qi Refining stage of Fangyun Mountain, even surpassing Li Fēngzi and others by a notch.

  In the previous matches, due to the deliberate arrangement of the high-level leaders of Fangyun Mountain, these top disciples had not fought each other before. They generally won their opponents with absolute advantage, which lacked a wonderful scene where both sides were evenly matched.

  As soon as the words fell, two ethereal figures almost simultaneously landed on the dueling platform.

  One was Xianyun Sect's Geyun with a gentle and elegant demeanor, the other was Fengxing Gate's Yuwen Lin with an icy expression.

  As they fell onto the stage, both of them intended to take the initiative and strike first, their spiritual instruments flashing out in an instant.

  At this moment, a green spiritual protective circle rose from both of their bodies, and in the dimness, only their vague silhouettes could be seen.

  In the sky, two spiritual artifacts also began to collide, emitting a deafening roar.

  Ge Yun manipulated a flying saucer-like medium-grade spiritual instrument, this spiritual instrument was called Full Moon, the size of a round plate, with several circular holes in the middle, and the surrounding area flashed with thin blades like cicada wings.

  Under the stimulation of Ge Yunling's decision, Man Yue rapidly rotated in mid-air, emitting a piercing air friction sound. Along with Man Yue's attack, several invisible arc-shaped wind blades shot towards Yu Wenlin.

  Yuwen Lin regarded that arc-shaped wind blade as if it were nothing, the cyan light around his body surged violently, blocking the wind blade outside his body.

  He manipulated a spherical spirit device that flickered with electric sparks, called the Fire Thunder Ball, about the size of an infant's head.

  The fire thunderball floated in the air above the trial platform under Yuwen Lin's control, a restless thunder and lightning continuously gathered on this spiritual instrument, and the air also emitted an oppressive atmosphere.

  "It's actually a high-quality spiritual artifact!" someone in the audience exclaimed.

  Zhang Heng's eyes also lit up, and he too was seeing someone manipulate a high-grade spiritual artifact for the first time. He felt that its power was much stronger than that of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

  However, Zhang Heng also had a question in his mind. Yuwen Lin was a disciple of Feng Xing Men, and although he had reached the stage of Dacheng Qi, it was unexpected that he could possess a high-grade spiritual instrument.

  Even with a Nascent Soul cultivator backing him up, Zhang Heng still didn't have a top-grade spirit artifact in his hands at this moment.

  A deafening explosion came from the sky, and a bolt of lightning mixed with fire clouds burst out of the fireball.

  Dozens of lightning bolts and pieces of fire clouds combined to form a dense network of fire and thunder, surging towards Ge Yun with great momentum.

  Ge Yun's face changed greatly, he also didn't think that the opponent could possess a fireball with such great power, this object was also extraordinary in terms of its might among top-grade spiritual artifacts.

  His face set in determination, Ge Yun manipulated the spiritual artifact, Round Moon, to rapidly slash at the Fire Thunder Net that was pouncing down from the sky.

  "Clang clang clang......" The air was filled with bursts of explosions and scattered fire clouds, lightning.

  A hole was also opened in the Huolei website.

  At this moment, the fire thunderball in the air emitted a dazzling red light, and the fire thunder net also underwent some subtle changes.

  Yuwen Lin standing on the stage, a cold smile flashed across his mouth.

  "Not good!" Ge Yun of Xianyun Sect felt something was off.

  "Boom!" A loud noise echoed for miles around.

  The Flame Thunder Web suddenly exploded, and the fierce thunder fire splashed in all directions, leaving ripples on the ban around the Douluo Arena.

  With a "ding-dong" sound, Ge Yun's spiritual artifact, Yuan Yue Tong, was charred and fell powerlessly from the air.

  Ge Yun's face was also pale, and his mind seemed to have suffered no small trauma.

  "The Wind and Cloud Gate's Yuwen Lin wins!" Without a doubt, Yuwen Lin had obtained victory in the battle of magic.

  In the air about a hundred meters above the Douluo Arena, there were over a dozen people looking down at the battle on the ground.

  However, due to the casting of some sort of magic spell, people below cannot see these people.

  Standing on the Cloud Treasure, Nan Ming glanced at the few Foundation Establishment cultivators opposite him with a hint of disdain on his face, and sneered coldly: "Is this the best disciple of Mount Fangyun? They're even worse than I imagined..."

  "Next up, Wang Yuan of Xianyun Sect versus Li Hong of Fengxing Gate."

  Zhang Heng under the stage was taken aback at first, then revealed a playful smile, as he had dealt with both of these two men before.

  (Fang Yun's gathering is not the focus of this volume, and the main character didn't even attend, it was settled in one or two chapters...)
