Chapter 280   Going Too Far

“The location of the sect conference is a good

place…”

Xu Ning, He Mingye, and Si Ying found the location of the sect conference in Zuiyue Canton.

It was taking place in a flower garden. The spring flowers and emerald leaves in the garden were full of vitality.

Sect disciples continued to enter. At the same time, people who were not from sects entered after handing in Pure Source Pills.

Xu Ning and the other two also arrived at the entrance of the flower garden and handed over 300 Pure Source Pills.

Afterwards, they walked into the garden.

Xu Ning and the others were led to a stand by a staff member.

The open space below was where the various sects would spar during the sect conference.

The venue was more than half full, and the disciples of the various sects were all on high alert.

Especially the young disciples from the various sects, whose eyes were filled with fighting spirit. They all hoped to stand out in this conference and gain the favor of their sect’s higher-ups, thereby obtaining more resources.

‘The Source Sect hasn’t arrived yet…’

Xu Ning looked around, but he couldn’t find any traces of Teng Yunkong and Gu Man. “The strongest person in the field currently is only in the dao realm fourth stage.’

Xu Ning sensed this.

As Xu Ning had inferred previously, Zuiyue Canton was not a strong canton, and there were not many experts here.

“Every time I see this kind of scene, I think of the demon slaying conference in the Yuelan Sect more than three years ago.”

He Mingye looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile, “Junior Brother, you showed off at the demon slaying conference in the sect and were selected as a disciple by Master.”

“From then on, you were unstoppable on the path of martial arts. You quickly shook off everyone and finally reached the dao realm.”

Xu Ning listened and also smiled.

He remembered it clearly.

“Look, isn’t that someone from the Source Sect?”

Si Ying pointed in another direction.

Xu Ning and He Mingye looked over.

“They should be. They are wearing the same uniform as the disciples of the Source Sect in the Abyss North.”

He Mingye said firmly.

“Yes, it’s them.”

Xu Ning also found Teng Yunkong and Gu Man in the team.

“There are five dao realm masters from the Source Sect, one of them is in the second stage of the dao realm, while the other four are in the first stage of the dao realm, the body smelting realm…”

Xu Ning stared at the Source Sect’s leader for a long time.

Xu Ning knew that this astral qi realm master should be Xin Andao, the Sect Master of the Source Sect.

“Sect Master, these people do not have good intentions…”

As they were walking into the venue, Teng Yunkong followed behind Xin Andao.

He looked at the other disciples and noticed that everyone was looking at them with a teasing look.

Xin Andao did not speak, but there was a hint of caution and coldness in his eyes.

The Source Sect found their seats and sat down. The atmosphere of the entire team was a little depressing, no one talked.

Both the elders and disciples had solemn expressions.

In contrast, after the other sects entered the venue, the senior executives of the other sects chatted enthusiastically.

‘Sure enough, just like what the waiter said, the Source Sect is not doing well.’

Xu Ning kept looking in the direction of the Source Sect and discovered that they were obviously isolated.

“Shall we go over and reunite with them?”

Si Ying asked Xu Ning.

“No hurry.”

Xu Ning said, “Let’s see what happens first.”

There were more and more people in the venue. The stands in the flower garden were full of people, leaving only the center of the stage empty.

Not long after, someone suddenly shouted.

“Canton Governor Ji has arrived!”

Instantly, the elders and disciples of the various sects all stood up and looked in the direction of the canton governor.

The Canton Governor of Zuiyue Canton was a middle-aged man. His bearing was extremely similar to Wei Xiongjian of Guanghe Canton.

‘Dao realm fifth stage…’

Xu Ning noticed that Canton Governor Ji’s realm was similar to his.

However, Xu Ning easily sensed his strength, while Canton Governor Ji could not even notice Xu Ning’s existence.

It was not because Xu Ning used the Aura Concealment Ring to hide his aura, but because he was purely stronger, and thus could completely hide his aura.

“Canton Governor Ji!”

Instantly, the higher-ups of the various large sects greeted Canton Governor Ji.

Canton Governor Ji not only had a high status, but he was also the strongest person here, allowing him to enjoy great prestige.

“Everyone, please sit!”

Canton Governor Ji waved his hand. “I’m only here to watch the glory of the various sects. I’m just a spectator. No need to pay too much attention to me.”

After that, Canton Governor Ji sat on an empty chair next to the stage. Beside him were the sect masters of two sects. The two sect masters were both dao realm fourth stage masters.

These two looked in the direction of the Source Sect from time to time while they chatted and laughed with Canton Governor Ji.

Not long after Canton Governor Ji arrived, the sun hung at the highest point in the sky.

At that time, someone walked to the stage and began to host the sect conference.

The host said some routine words before explaining the process of this sect conference.

First, disciples from all sides would draw lots to spar. Next, it would be the elders and sect masters’ turn to challenge each other.

This made many outsiders who took out the one hundred Pure Source Pills to enter feel satisfied.

Not only could they see the fights between the disciples of the sect, but they could also see the competition between the senior executives and dao realm masters. This was extremely rare.

Afterwards, disciples from all sides began to fight.

“The disciples of State Wansheng do not just have higher realms, but they also have a deeper understanding of martial arts!” He Mingye, who was sitting in the stands, looked at the spars between the void realm disciples and sighed.

“That’s right, the outstanding disciples of the Abyss North can hardly compete with them.”

Si Ying said, “State Wansheng’s martial arts foundation is terrifying.” This was the first time Xu Ning was observing a competition between disciples of State Wansheng.

He also noticed that compared to these people, the gap between his own disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect was quite obvious.

“It’s time for the Source Sect’s disciples to go on stage!”

Xu Ning and the other two watched carefully.

On the stage, a Source Sect disciple and a disciple of another sect were both in the void realm ninth stage.

As soon as the two sides got on the stage, they did not show any courtesy. They immediately activated their domains and fought fiercely.

“So intense!”

He Mingye was excited.

“Both sides are extremely devious when they attack. This is not just a spar…”

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes. He discovered that the fights between the Source Sect disciples were much more intense than before.

In the previous fights, they would restrain themselves. After all, they knew that the fights were not too serious.

V

But the two people on the stage were obviously fierce. If they were careless, they could be seriously injured.

Bang!

Suddenly, the opponent disciple waved his hand and hit the Source Sect disciple in the chest.

The chest of the Source Sect disciple instantly collapsed, and a mouthful of blood spewed out as he fainted in the air.

But even so, the opponent disciple did not let him go. Instead, he attacked continuously in the air, causing the Source Sect disciple to be injured even more.

When he landed on the ground, his clothes were completely soaked in blood. “They’re too much!”

Below the stage, Teng Yunkong was furious.

The armrest of the chair under him had been crushed.

Teng Yunkong was about to rush onto the stage, but was stopped by Xin Andao. “Teng Yunkong, calm down!”

Xin Andao’s face was also pale, but he still maintained his sense of rationality and restrained his anger.

“Sect Master!”

Teng Yunkong gritted his teeth and sat down.

“Those people are eager for you to rush forward. They are waiting for you to lose control in your anger, then find a reason to seriously injure or even kill you.”

Gu Man next to him also grabbed Teng Yunkong’s arm. “If you really want to vent your anger, just challenge others.”

Teng Yunkong calmed down with difficulty.

On the stands, Xu Ning and the other two had ugly expressions. Although they were not from the Source Sect, the Source Sect came from the Abyss North, and they also came from the abyss north.

This felt like they were watching their fellow countrymen being bullied by others overseas.

“It’s called a spar, but you don’t deal blows that heavy in a spar!”

He Mingye was furious.

Si Ying was also very dissatisfied. “They are obviously aiming to kill someone.”

Xu Ning didn’t speak.

However, he also knew that the Source Sect might be in more danger in the upcoming spars. Sure enough, everything was as Xu Ning expected.

Every time the Source Sect disciples went on stage to spar, the other party would send out powerful people.

Not only were they strong, but they were also ruthless. They were all disciples with actual combat experience.

The Source Sect failed one after another, and many people were seriously injured, which made the Source Sect’s mood fall further and further.

Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, Gu Man, and the others were angry, but they were helpless. And at this moment, two sect leaders were talking in a low voice.

“Look at those people from the Source Sect…”

The one who spoke was a fat man with a thick beard. There was a hint of mockery in his tone.

“They are not strong enough, yet they want to occupy such a large amount of green-patterned winter iron ore. They really don’t know their

place.”

The other person was wearing a long robe, and his eyes were thin. He looked ruthless.

“If it weren’t for the Canton Governor’s reputation, I would have joined forces with a few sects and razed the Source Sect to the ground.”

The bearded man sneered. “A small sect established by an outsider wants to swallow so many resources. How arrogant.”

“But now, seeing the Source Sect disciples lying down one by one, I feel quite comfortable.”

The ruthless man chuckled.

“Not just their disciples, but we shall also make their Sect Master lie down later.”

The bearded man looked at Xin Andao from afar.

“Oh? Why, you want to attack him personally?”

The ruthless man sensed the meaning in the bearded man’s words.

“It’s not good to attack them off stage, but defeating him on the stage is fine.”

The bearded man said, “If we can ‘accidentally kill him on the stage, it will be more convenient to divide the green-patterned winter iron ore mine afterwards.”
