An hour later, almost all the outer disciples of Yunwu Sect gathered on the vast training ground of Qingyun Peak, and even many members of aristocratic families came to watch.
Among the inner sect disciples, there were also many elite disciples sitting in the audience, their purpose being to select suitable subordinates for their masters and strengthen their personal power within the Yunwu Sect.
The training ground was teeming with people, a truly bustling scene. Amidst the cacophony of voices, a few names could be faintly heard.
Jiang Hao, who is known as the invincible outer sect disciple, Lin Fan, who has been biding his time for many years, and Yuan Lingshu, the three most outstanding young girls from Tianzhu City, have all made a surprise appearance at the Yunwu Sect's inner sect assessment.
These three are all top contenders, adding considerable excitement to this inner sect assessment.
In particular, the young prodigy Yuan Lingshu, at the tender age of fourteen, has already reached the sixth level of Body Refinement after only one year of martial arts training.
Most importantly, I heard that Yuan Lingshu had no interest in cultivation at all, and only had to learn martial arts and cultivate because of family pressure.
This is also the biggest reason why she started practicing so late.
Once she stepped into the world of martial arts, Yuan Lingshu became an extremely dazzling figure in Tianzhu City. When people discussed Yuan Lingshu, they couldn't help but mention the title of "the pride of heaven".
On the platform in the training ground, sat an inner sect elder of the Yunwu Sect. Beside him were the peak masters of each peak, the deputy head of the Yuan family, Yuan Xiu, the father of Yuan Lingshu, and other high-ranking figures from other second-class families.
Those in the training ground couldn't help but look at the many important figures sitting there with a strange glint in their eyes.
In previous years, at most one elder from the inner sect would appear to preside over the inner sect assessment. However, today, not only have high-ranking figures from various families gathered, but even the peak masters of each peak have personally appeared. Furthermore, even elders from other sects have arrived before the inner sect assessment officially began.
"Tsk tsk, not only are the peak masters of each peak vying to show up, but even elders from other sects have come. It seems this year's inner sect assessment is much more interesting than before."
“The peak master of Lingzhu Peak, Lu Wuyai, the peak master of Manyue Peak, Daozang, the peak master of Wuji Peak, Yuan Feifan, the elder of Guanyu Tower, Ge Yu, and the elder of Shifang Pavilion, Beitian Min, have all come.”
"These are all big shots, and they've all come for Yuan Lingshu."
"My God, just how monstrous is Yuan Lingshu's martial arts talent that even elders from other forces are trying to snatch her up?"
"Hehe, today we will finally get to see the legendary favored daughter of heaven. I'm sure she won't disappoint us."
Just then, a somewhat hunched, ordinary-looking old man with white hair led a stunningly beautiful young woman slowly into the arena.
If it weren't for the stunningly beautiful young woman in fiery red and the elderly man with a full head of silver hair, no one would have noticed the old man's presence.
"Those two, one old and one young, look quite unfamiliar. They don't seem to be from our Yunwu Sect, do they?"
Just as everyone was wondering, the many powerful figures on the platform trembled when they saw the old man appear, and their eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
The peak masters of Yunwu Sect and the elders of various forces all showed solemn expressions and bitter smiles.
Unexpectedly, he, who had been absent from the public eye for a long time, also came.
If he is also here for Yuan Lingshu, then the chances for these people are rather slim.
"Old Master Lin has graced us with his presence without even a word. I should have come out to greet him personally."
A booming voice resounded throughout the training ground. From the depths of the Yunwu Sect, an extremely powerful aura suddenly surged forth. The next moment, a powerful figure in black robes stepped through the void. With just one step, it seemed as if he had traversed several miles, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared above the training ground.
Everyone looked up, a hint of horror flashing in their eyes, followed by a deep sense of awe.
The newcomer was none other than Luo Chen, the vice sect master of the Yunwu Sect!
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master!"
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master!"
In the training ground, all the disciples of Yunwu Sect stood up and respectfully bowed to Luo Chen, their imposing presence resounding throughout the entire Qingyun Peak.
At the same time, the disciples were shaken and filled with intense curiosity.
That seemingly unremarkable white-haired old man actually made the vice sect leader personally appear to greet him.
Regardless of the white-haired old man's true identity, he must not be an ordinary person.
"Old Lin? Could that old man be Lin Dong, the once renowned war god of the nation?"
A gasp rang out, causing a stir. Everyone looked at the white-haired old man with awe.
That was a legendary figure from the Qin Empire, and this time, he actually appeared in person at the Yunwu Sect.
The elite youths present all glanced at Lin Ruoxue beside Elder Lin, their eyes flashing with a sharp light.
That girl in red must be Elder Lin's granddaughter. If I had the chance to meet her and win her heart, my career in the Qin Empire would surely be much smoother.
Adding such a beautiful girl in red to the mix is like killing two birds with one stone; it's one of life's greatest pleasures.
"Elder Lin, please take a seat." Luo Chen laughed heartily, his face full of enthusiasm, which made everyone on the stage consciously give up their seats.
Leaving aside Vice Sect Master Luo Chen, Lin Dong, the former God of War of the Nation, is absolutely qualified to be the most honored guest of Yunwu Sect.
"Luo Chen, it's been many years, you haven't changed a bit." The white-haired old man smiled faintly and led Lin Ruoxue to a seat.
"Hehe, with the Yunwu Sect in such a prosperous era today, how could it be complete without this humble woman?"
A sweet laugh rang out, and a woman in white, her robes fluttering in the wind, approached.
The woman in white was stunningly beautiful, sweet yet alluring, with a slender and proud figure that exuded the charm of a mature woman, attracting the attention of many.
"Shangguan Hanlu, the president of the Tianzhu City branch of the Fenghua Chamber of Commerce, has also come. This is truly a rare occurrence."
On the platform, a strange glint flashed in the eyes of the powerful figures.
The Feng Hua Chamber of Commerce has a wide-reaching influence throughout the money-making empire and holds a superior position. As a commercial force, it rarely interferes in matters of the martial arts world.
Shangguan Hanlu's appearance this time is indeed quite surprising.
