As time passed, it was finally time for both parties to formally submit their lists of contestants, and the Dragon and Phoenix tribes announced the names of the five contestants.
Ao Jing's eyes fell on Feng Wu in front of him, and he smiled coldly, "Feng Wu, you are really brave. You actually dared to send that two-star late-stage martial emperor practitioner to participate in the competition. I'm afraid you won't even know how you lost by then."
As the day of the official competition approached, Yang Qi still hadn't made a move. The Dragon Clan suspected that the Phoenix Clan was planning to have Yang Qi participate in the official competition, but they just couldn't believe it. They didn't expect the Phoenix Clan to actually do it. You have to know that the practitioners sent by both sides are the most evil among their peers, and the difference in their talents and potential is not too big. In this way, the cultivation level, which was not too important in the past, became an extremely important factor. The Phoenix Clan actually sent a late-stage two-star martial emperor practitioner to participate in the competition, which naturally surprised the Dragon Clan.
"How our Phoenix Clan arranges things is our business." Feng Wu sneered and continued, "But your cultivator named Ao Chen doesn't seem to be in your team."
When the contestants were announced, the Phoenix Clan immediately discovered that there was an additional practitioner named Ao Chen among the contestants from the Dragon Clan. According to the Phoenix Clan, this Ao Chen was an unknown practitioner and was not in the Dragon Clan's team.
Ao Jing heard this and said indifferently, "Don't you Feng Clan also have a Feng Xie?"
There is one more Ao Chen on the Dragon Clan side, who is not in the Dragon Clan's team. There is also one Feng Xie on the Phoenix Clan side, who has also not arrived at the headquarters of the Ancient Phoenix Domain. Both sides have practitioners who have not arrived yet.
"Hmph~"
Feng Wu snorted lightly and didn't say anything else. Both sides were hiding a cultivator. The one hidden by the Phoenix clan was a three-star Martial Emperor, but what about the Dragon clan
Now, among the five practitioners of the Dragon Clan, three are three-star Martial Emperors, and one is at the peak of the two-star Martial Emperor. As for Ao Chen, he is a practitioner that the Phoenix Clan has never heard of.
Feng Wu's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "We must find out what's going on with this Ao Chen as soon as possible!"
Although Ao Chen did not appear in the base, he was very likely in the Ancient Phoenix Domain. After all, a low-level Martial Emperor would not be able to travel very fast and the distance was too far. Once they missed the time for the competition, the Dragon Clan could only fight with four practitioners. The Dragon Clan would not make such a mistake.
Immediately under the order of the Phoenix Clan's top leaders, the Phoenix Clan of the Ancient Phoenix Domain began to investigate, looking for Dragon Clan practitioners who had appeared in recent times, whose strength ranged from two-star to three-star Martial Emperors.
On this day, Yang Qi was practicing in seclusion when he suddenly received a message from Feng Wu, asking him to rush to the meeting hall immediately.
On the way to the meeting hall, Yang Qi met Feng Hongbo and the other two and asked, "Brother Hongbo, do you know why Senior Feng Wu summoned us this time?"
"I'm not too sure either." Feng Hongbo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He had just received the message and had no idea what had happened. However, there was still more than a month before the competition began, so it shouldn't be about the competition.
Feng Hongbo didn't know, and Feng Mei and the others didn't know either, so the group had to come to the conference hall with doubts. However, when Yang Qi and the others arrived at the conference hall, they saw a familiar figure.
Looking at the three-star martial emperor who had already arrived in the hall, Yang Qi was slightly startled and subconsciously said, "Feng Xie!"
That’s right, in addition to the Phoenix clan’s high-level members, there was also a low-level Martial Emperor in the hall. It was Feng Xie who had broken through to the three-star Martial Emperor level not long ago. Before the official competition began, Feng Xie finally arrived.
"Brother Yang!" Feng Xie bowed slightly.
The reason why he was able to break through to the three-star Martial Emperor so quickly was not only due to his own reasons, but also because Yang Qi had helped him in the past. Therefore, Feng Xie was very grateful to Yang Qi.
"There are two reasons why I called you here this time." At this moment, Feng Wu, who was at the head of the group, looked at Yang Qi and the other four, and continued, "The first thing is about Ao Chen."
Ao Chen!
There was a gleam of brilliance in Yang Qi's eyes. When the contestants were announced, the Phoenix Clan had been secretly investigating because they didn't know the origins of Ao Chen. He had also heard Feng Hongbo mention the place, but he didn't expect that when Feng Wu gathered everyone together this time, the first thing to talk about was Ao Chen.
Looking at the solemn-looking Feng Wu at the top, Yang Qi frowned and thought to himself, "Could this Ao Chen be a three-star martial emperor?"
If Ao Chen was only at the peak of the two-star Martial Emperor, Feng Wu would not have mentioned him at all. After all, they were not afraid of an unknown two-star Martial Emperor, unless the other party could affect the Phoenix Clan's victory!
“According to our investigations during this period, Ao Chen who was hiding in the Dragon Clan is a cultivator in the early stage of the Three-Star Martial Emperor, and he has now arrived at the base.” Feng Wu sighed softly.
Three Star Emperor
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Yang Qi and the other four changed in unison. Although they had expected this, it was still a bit shocking to learn that Ao Chen was a three-star Martial Emperor.
Among the five practitioners from the Dragon Clan participating in the competition, four of them are early-stage three-star Martial Emperors. On the other hand, on the Phoenix Clan's side, there are only two three-star Martial Emperors, and there is even a late-stage two-star Martial Emperor like Yang Qi. Judging from their apparent strength alone, it can be said that the Phoenix Clan has no chance of winning at all.
“Not only that, according to the information we have investigated, the reason why Ao Chen did not come with the Dragon Clan’s team is because he has been wandering in the ancient Phoenix Territory for some time, and in the process, he defeated an early three-star Martial Emperor of the Phoenix Clan.” Feng Wu said in a deep voice.
Although the Phoenix Clan's Three-Star Martial Emperor was just an ordinary Three-Star Martial Emperor in the early stage, Ao Chen was able to defeat him, which showed that Ao Chen was not a cultivator who had just entered the early stage of Three-Star Martial Emperor.
Although Feng Xie is at the early stage of the three-star martial emperor, he is only at the beginning of the three-star martial emperor. Even with the help of the Phoenix clan leaders, he has passed the stable state of death after the breakthrough, but if he faces Ao Chen, he may not be his opponent. In this way, if it is a one-on-one fight, I am afraid that only Yang Qi and Feng Mei have a chance of winning.
Feng Wu looked at Yang Qi and the other four in front of him and said slowly, "The Dragon Clan has four three-star Martial Emperor early stage practitioners, which is beyond our expectations. However, we still hope that you can do your best."
The strength of the practitioners sent by the Dragon Clan exceeded the expectations of the Phoenix Clan. Now the Phoenix Clan no longer has any hope of winning this competition, and only hopes that they will not lose too badly.
"Give up?"
Hearing Feng Wu's words, Yang Qi frowned. He didn't care whether the Feng Clan gave up or not. But according to the previous agreement, if the Feng Clan lost this competition, Feng Wu and others would not support him and Feng Yan being together. Now that the Feng Clan's top leaders have given up, what should he do? (To be continued)
