Who was transmitting to him?
Li Hao could not help but look around before his gaze landed on the seat at the top.
There, the sect master of the Heaven Execution Sect, MO Tianxing, sat.
As Li Hao locked eyes with MO Tianxing, the sect master wore a faint smile.
Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
It was the sect master?
This was the sect master’s voice transmission to him!
Li Hao was sure.
In that case, he did not have to stand on it.
Even though Li Hao harbored no fear, he considered it better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, the world was unpredictable.
As time passed, most of the day passed quietly.
The number of battles on these ten fighting platforms decreased.
Towards the end, no one went up to fight for the spots.
Now, on the stage, the ten prominent figures remaining were Qin Tian, Mu Hongluan, Jiang Kui, Song Shang, Wex Dao, Sun Yang, Chu Feng, Liu Mei, Shen Bingxin, and Long Kui.
Among them, Shen Bingxin and Long Kui were the only two people standing on the stage as new disciples.
Despite their relatively short tenure, they had already reached the Golden Immortal realm, showcasing remarkable prowess. Additionally, both possessed Dharmakaya Immortal Forms, enabling them to compete effectively beyond their level. The duo had defeated numerous prodigies within the sect, drawing the attention of all present with their formidable abilities.
Finally, after a while, there were no more battles in the ten fighting platforms.
No one dared to stand up and fight for the spot.
Nonetheless, there remained a multitude of individuals who were unwilling and felt helpless in their quest to secure a spot.
“Since there are no contenders for the spot, it’s settled. Those who remain on the battle platforms will be granted access to the Immortal King’s cave abode in three days’ time,” MO Tianxing’s voice echoed at this moment.
“Senior MO, I don’t understand.”
However, just as MO Tianxing completed his statement, a voice abruptly interjected, disrupting the harmony. It was a slightly inappropriate and discordant interruption.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was the Peak Master of the Spirit Wood Peak, Duanmu Sen.
“Junior Duanmu, please speak!” said MO Tianxing directly. There was no expression on his face, but he already knew what the other party wanted to say.
Duanmu Sen continued, “Our Tianxing Sect has been allocated eleven spots for this Immortal King’s cave abode. Yet, Senior MO, you’ve set up only ten battle platforms. Currently, only ten spots have been claimed. I’d like to know who the eleventh person is to receive a spot?”
Duanmu Sen made no attempt to sugarcoat his words. They reverberated through the space, reaching the ears of countless disciples below.
As soon as his words escaped, they sparked a whirlwind of astonishment. Gasps filled the air. Amidst the crowd, Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat, and a sense of unease washed over him. He stared intently at Duanmu Sen on the platform, his brows furrowing.
“That’s right. Aren’t there eleven spots in the immortal king’s cave abode?”
“We’ve only seen ten chosen so far. Who claims the last spot?”
“Don’t you have to fight for this?”
Everyone was very puzzled.
At this moment, an old man’s voice sounded from the high platforms.
“Indeed, Senior Sect Master, there remains an unassigned spot. Has the recipient been decided?”
The speaker was Chu Hanxi from the Earth Spring Peak. Like Duanmu Sen, he too displayed his dissatisfaction openly. Despite lacking personal disciples, they sought to secure the final spot.
Duanmu Sen and Chu Hanxi were not alone in their confusion. The surrounding peak masters also turned questioning gazes upon MO Tianxing.
Observing the puzzled expressions of those around him, MO Tianxing offered a smile and cast a glance at Li Hao, seemingly conveying, “I’m sorry, but I can’t assist you with this.”
Then, MO Tianxing said directly, “That’s right, the last spot has been decided!”
MO Tianxing’s words shocked everyone. “What? It’s already been decided?” “Why should I?” “That’s right. On what basis?” “Who is it?”
“I refuse to accept this…”
In the crowd, an uproar immediately sounded from the prodigies of the sects. Many of them were unconvinced and had strong opinions.
“Senior MO, doesn’t this seem to bend the rules a bit? Even though you are the sect master, can you unilaterally appoint the final candidate?” said Duanmu Sen, the Peak Master of the Spirit Wood Peak.
“That’s right, Senior Sect Master. Numerous disciples find this decision hard to accept. So who precisely is the selected individual?”
Beside him, Chu Hanxi echoed.
Everyone looked straight at MO Tianxing, as if they were waiting for his explanation.
However, MO Tianxing suddenly smiled again.
“Hehe, who said that I was the one who decided on this spot?”
As soon as MO Tianxing said this, everyone’s faces were filled with surprise.
If MO Tianxing wasn’t the one making this decision, then who was?
“The last spot was determined by the Supreme Elder. Junior Brother Duanmu, Junior Brother Chu, if you have any objections, you’re welcome to discuss it with Martial Uncle Situ,” MO Tianxing continued slowly.
However, as soon as these words left his lips, the countenances of Chu Hanxi, Duanmu Sen, and others underwent a swift transformation.
“What? It was actually set by the Supreme Elder?”
“How is that possible?”
The two of them were shocked and in disbelief.
If it had been MO Tianxing’s choice, they might have had some room for negotiation. However, if the decision was handed down by the Grand Elder, it was essentially a done deal.
Despite MO Tianxing being the Sect Master and the top expert on the surface, they understood that the Grand Elder possessed true power.
Moreover, he had seniority. Even they had to address him as Martial Uncle when they encountered him.
Furthermore, the Supreme Elder was an enigmatic and exceedingly domineering figure, brimming with righteousness and refusing to yield to worldly authority.
Would a small junior peak master like them dare to anger such a person?
Seeing Duanmu Sen and Chu Hanxi’s defeated expressions, MO Tianxing could not help but smile again.
“As for the individual selected by Martial Uncle Situ, he’s actually present here.”
MO Tianxing’s revelation sent shockwaves rippling through the crowd once more.
‘What? In the field?’
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was directed towards the crowd, searching continuously, but they did not see any special figures.
Li Hao, who was in the crowd, was speechless.
He had hoped to maintain a low profile, but it appeared that such a wish was now unattainable.
“Come out, Junior Li Hao.”
At this moment, MO Tianxing looked at Li Hao.
BOOM.
Many people were shocked by MO Tianxing’s words.
Li Hao? Junior brother?
MO Tianxing actually called him junior brother?
