The other person was Fat General of Hou Mansion. Hearing Bei Zhiqiu's words, Fat General smiled and said, "It's the same on the battlefield. It changes ten thousand times in a second."
"It's almost time. It seems like a lot of things have happened on the way here …" Bei Zhiqiu looked at the people in the yard.
Other than Kun Mountain Cheng Hui, Nangong Yueya, and the other three sects' two sects' one family members, all the participants of the top hundred places on the Azure Rankings were already in the courtyard, so there were six hundred and twenty-one people on the list.
Amongst these, there was naturally someone who had been wholeheartedly cultivating and had never fought before. Thus, there were no records of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and they all knew that this ranking list was fair in name.
"Alright, the registration time for this Large Competition …" Bei Zhiqiu opened his mouth and was about to say the word "stop" when the space around them distorted.
"Who dares to disturb my Mountain-opening City and my Heavenly Secret Pavilion?" Fat General frowned and snorted.
A woman in white appeared out of thin air.
Everyone in the courtyard tensed up. With the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the people from the Marquis' Mansion, it was not their turn to take action.
However, there was no lack of people who wanted to show off their skills. The Imperial Qi in their hands surged as they were eager to give it a try.
Bei Zhiqiu was surprised and quickly bowed: "Bei Zhiqiu greets the Ninth Elder."
Everyone was shocked. Ninth Elder? There was only one Ninth Elder on the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and that was Qiu Ye, who had already reached the Profound God Realm.
He did not expect that in the Mountain-opening City competition, the Ninth Elder would also come. One must know that these nine elders were not to be easily found, and their mysteriousness was not the least bit inferior to the elders of some of the big clans in the imperial city.
"Ninth Elder, is this the Ninth Elder from Heavenly Secret Pavilion?"
"We can enter and exit space as we wish. When will we be able to do such a casual stroll …"
All the youths in the courtyard couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as their eyes revealed an extremely envious expression.
"Ninth Elder, this is the general of Mountain-cutting Marquis Mansion, General Wu Xiu." Bei Zhiqiu looked at Fat General and introduced him.
If Qiu Ye hadn't appeared, it would have been up to the both of them to decide. But now that Qiu Ye had appeared, Bei Zhiqiu was going to stand back. Although he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do.
Qiu Ye nodded and Wu Xiu also bowed.
"I wonder why Patriarch Nine came all of a sudden?" Is there something important in the pavilion? " Bei Zhiqiu asked in confusion.
Qiu Ye shook her head: "Nothing much, just come to take a look. This time's Concealed Pavilion activation is different from the past.
Bei Zhiqiu was startled and couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart. Although the Concealed Pavilion is different this time, there's no need for an elder like you to notify us. Furthermore, the competition hasn't started yet, so the final screening should wait until half a month later, when all five keys are settled.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything else. He hastily smiled and said: "Of course, of course. Ninth Elder's son had ordered me to do my best and didn't dare to be too biased."
Qiu Ye nodded. "That's great. Is everyone here?"
Bei Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Of course we can't all be here. There are less than in previous years. Maybe it's because of the key that was already given out."
He looked around at the people in the courtyard, and saw Soong Tianxuan who had rushed into the courtyard. He then said: "If that's the case, then let's begin, I will be handling some matters in the Mountain-opening City recently, if I encounter any problems, you know how to find me."
Bei Zhiqiu hurriedly said, "I understand, I understand."
When he looked up, Qiu Ye had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint wave of air.
"Cough cough …" Bei Zhiqiu cleared his throat, "Alright, the Large Competition begins now..."
He looked around the yard and saw another breath of air. However, he didn't care too much about it and asked: "Soong Tianxuan, have you arrived?"
"He's here, he's here..." Soong Tianxuan tied the calabash around his waist, pushed his way to the bottom of the stage and said, "I am."
Everyone's gazes fell onto Soong Tianxuan. Naturally, there were also Qin Hao, Wu Chengyun, Tu Yuan and Yin Hen.
There were even several auras of Late Period of Elixir that locked onto Soong Tianxuan.
"Didn't you say that you didn't come … …" Bei Zhiqiu looked at the register and remembered that Soong Tianxuan was the person who just came in. He didn't feel unsatisfied. If not for Patriarch Nine's sudden arrival, Soong Tianxuan's qualification could be revoked and the key could be taken back.
Heavenly Secret Pavilion were extremely dissatisfied with being given the key as a prize in private this time, but since it had already been given away, they had no choice but to accept it. However, in their hearts, they were extremely disapproving of Soong Tianxuan.
Other people come step by step, so why can you just get it? If that was the case, how could the Large Competition be fair?
"Hehe, I just arrived. I just arrived." Soong Tianxuan chuckled.
The Spirit Spring Water in his body continuously released Spirit Qi, but had recovered less than fifty percent of his cultivation.
"Mn, you are the person who obtained the Concealed Pavilion key, and thus obtained the position of the top eight in the Square Inch City. You do not need to participate in the group competition. Three days later, you can directly participate in the competition." Soong Tianxuan, the natural person of Fat General, nodded and smiled.
Soong Tianxuan clasped his fists, "Thank you. Then, I will go to rest. May I ask where is the room arranged by the convention?"
Fat General laughed: "Halfway up the mountain in Posterior Mountain, there is a Blessed Paradise. The resting place is where it should be.
A manservant walked over to Soong Tianxuan and said calmly, "Come, follow me."
Soong Tianxuan was stunned, but he did not say much. He followed the servant, and under everyone's envious eyes, they walked towards the Posterior Mountain.
"I know that you all are unwilling to accept this, so if you aren't, bring out your skills to make others submit to you. Do you understand?" Bei Zhiqiu shouted loudly as he looked at the young talents in the yard.
The people in the courtyard didn't reply, but everyone held their breaths.
"Okay, today is the first day. Everyone take one lot and place it on the stage between the two mountains. The number for the duel has already been stated on it. As long as you go up on the stage, you will start the competition. However, there is one thing." Wu Xiu pointed to a red box beside him and said, "Those who violate the rules, are not allowed to kill, and are severely punished."
"Now, the Large Competition begins …"
More than four hundred people walked past the two of them, took out their numbers from among them and sped towards the Posterior Mountain.
When Soong Tianxuan arrived at the halfway mark of the Posterior Mountain, he looked down and just happened to see a valley between the two mountains. Within the valley, a hundred square arenas had already been set up, each of them about a thousand meters in size.
