Chapter 263 Undercurrent

Besides Huayun Sect, there are other sects.

The Tianlan Sect selected 10 experts, including Di Xiaoyun and Hu Junyi.

Di Xiaoyun has now reached the 8th stage of Body Refinement, ranking 6th in the Tianlan Sect.

Looking across the entire mountain city, Di Xiaoyun is one of the few female martial arts masters.

Of the four major sects, Huayun Sect and Tianlan Sect are ready, while Lingfeng Sect has been wiped out.

The last remaining sect, Renwang Sect, is making intensive preparations.

Renwang Sect, one of the four major sects in Shancheng City, is extremely mysterious. The only time it participated in the competition was 5 years ago.

Five years ago, Renwang Sect appeared out of nowhere, easily winning the Mountain City Sect Competition Championship as soon as it emerged.

In the same year, Renwangzong represented Yamashiro in the city war and defeated Yanjing in one fell swoop.

This was also the only time the Mountain City Sect defeated the Yanjing Sect.

Unfortunately, Renwangzong did not participate in the national competition that year.

Later, Renwangzong seemed to have vanished into thin air and never reappeared.

It has become an enigma.

Over time, Lingfeng Sect became the leading sect.

But Renwangzong has not been forgotten by everyone.

Thanks to its impressive actions five years ago, Renwang Sect has secured a place among the four major sects in the mountain city.

There are many different opinions about King Niōjū.

One theory is that the Niōshū sect disbanded due to internal strife after that competition.

One theory is that Renwangzong retired to the second line and no longer participated in sect affairs.

There are also all sorts of strange and bizarre claims, and some have even put forward conspiracy theories, saying that the Renwang Sect was attacked and retaliated against by the sects in Yanjing and was completely wiped out.

Even Lin Fan didn't know the truth.

In fact, the Renwang Sect and Lin Fan have a deep connection, and its sect leader is Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan's Renwang Sect has a total of 10 members, all of whom are elites at the Transcendent Realm.

These people are both disciples of the sect and the private security personnel of the president of Shancheng, existing as the "Protect the Dragon" faction.

However, before his death, Lin Tiancheng instructed Gao Xuan to observe Lin Fan for six months. If Lin Fan proved useful, Gao Xuan could then inform him of the existence of the Renwang Sect.

If Lin Fan is not suitable, Gao Xuan can replace him.

Before the six-month period has even expired, Gao Xuan has already learned about Lin Fan through observation.

Lin Fan's wisdom and courage are no less than Lin Tiancheng's; Master Lin can rest in peace now.

However, due to Lin Tiancheng's orders, Gao Xuan could only inform Lin Fan about the Renwang Sect matter after the six-month deadline had passed.

Shancheng Group, top floor.

Gao Xuan summoned 10 people from the Niwang Sect.

"We must participate in this sect competition, and we must win the championship."

Gao Xuan frowned and strode towards the crowd:

"Lin Tianhu's remnant, Nightmare, has already taken control of half of the Zhongfa Group, and the Luoxia Sect is probably also under her control."

"This person harbors deep resentment towards the Shancheng Group. She will definitely come to retaliate against the Shancheng Group during the sect competition between Shancheng City and Haichuan City."

"You must win the championship of the sect competition in Shancheng City and represent Shancheng City to fight against Haichuan City and Luoxia Sect."

Gao Xuan looked out the window again and said softly:

"This situation is just like it was 5 years ago; it will be a life-or-death battle. Everyone must be prepared to die!"

Gao Xuan sighed, "In the event of misfortune, the Shancheng Group will take good care of your wives, children, and elders."

The ten members of the Renwang Sect spoke in unison: "Sect Leader! We will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Gao Xuan nodded, scrutinizing each face.

The ten faces showed no fear, their gazes were resolute.

Although the number of members in the Renwang Sect is small, they are all elites among elites, loyal and devoted to Gao Xuan and the Shancheng Group.

Normally, sect competitions are just minor skirmishes, and Gao Xuan doesn't care about them.

However, if we elevate this to a higher level, it's like what happened five years ago when the Long family of Yanjing tried to use their sect to invade the Shancheng Group.

Gao Xuan would spare no effort to step in and defeat the opponent.

Now that Lü Mo has shown signs of trouble, Gao Xuan will surely nip him in the bud.

2 PM, Boardroom.

Dong Tianjiao sat in the high position, with nine people sitting below her.

The farthest seat was empty; Purple Hair, who should have been sitting there, was nowhere to be seen.

Dong Tianjiao glanced at her watch every now and then. The meeting, which was scheduled for 1:30, to discuss countermeasures, had already exceeded half an hour.

"Why isn't he here yet?" The people below looked at each other, then curiously looked at the empty chair.

"Could it be that we failed?" Dong Tianjiao's right eye kept twitching, and she had a bad feeling.

"Cuckoo-"

The cooing of pigeons came from outside the window.

Dong Tianjiao and the others looked up at the sound and saw a pigeon flapping its wings and landing on the windowsill of the conference room.

The pigeon's head feathers were tinged with purple, and its body was stained with striking blood red.

Dong Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat. She quickly got up, opened the window, and let the pigeons into the house.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

Immediately afterward, a mournful wail came from outside the door: "Master... Purple Hair is dead..."

Dong Tianjiao was startled and quickly walked to the door, opening it: "Explain yourself clearly!"

The man swallowed hard and choked out, “I just received news that Zi Mao met Hua Yun Sect Master Pu Renmeng and expert Pei Huatian at the Nan Gang Coffee Shop this morning.”

"Zi Mao fought two against one but was eventually killed, and Pei Huatian also died in battle."

Dong Tianjiao closed her eyes, her breathing became heavier, and after a few seconds she spoke: "I understand, you can go now!"

After saying that, Dong Tianjiao stood in front of the door for a few minutes before opening her eyes.

Dong Tianjiao never imagined that sending Zi Mao to assassinate Su Ruowei, such a simple task, would run into Park In-meng and Pei Huatian.

Dong Tianjiao was deeply saddened by the loss of one of her key generals.

The death of Zi Mao directly led to a shortage of manpower in the newly established Crimson Flame Sect of the Dong Group.

Ten people are needed to participate in the sect competition, and the Crimson Flame Sect currently has nine.

The rest of the staff are available, but none of them are capable of handling important tasks; sending them would be a waste of their time.

Dong Tianjiao closed the door tightly, slowly walked back to her original seat, and sighed, "I will also participate in this sect competition."

"We just received new information this morning. We need to win and then coordinate with Haichuan's Luoxia Sect from the inside out in a month."

"Take advantage of the moment when Gao Xuan and the president of Shancheng Group are off guard and kill them."

Everyone below was shocked; they hadn't realized that establishing the Crimson Flame Sect involved such a significant task.

The one-eyed man spoke calmly: "Master, I've heard that the Renwang Sect has re-emerged, I'm afraid..."

Dong Tianjiao gritted her teeth: "Then we must do our best to secure a spot!"

The internal sect competition within the Mountain City Group is not only a contest between sects, but also serves as a selection process.

In the sect competition, the 10 strongest individuals are selected to form a mixed team, which then represents Shancheng City in inter-city competitions and the national tournament.

This is a rule set by the Mountain City Group, breaking down the barriers between sects and gathering the ten strongest people in Mountain City to represent Mountain City in the competition.

Only Shancheng City could come up with such a method, because all the sects in Shancheng City are funded by the Shancheng Group.
