Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

The matter of the evil spirits had left Ao Lingchen with a headache. He had no idea how to deal with it. The only thing he could do was to be careful.    

Looking at the people discussing in the room, Ao Lingchen's sword-shaped eyebrows trembled slightly. He whispered, "The second round of the competition will be the top hundred. What do you all think?"    

The evil spirit was indeed disturbing, but at this moment, the Five Sects Competition was even more anxious. The result of this competition was of great importance. Whether it was for the sect or the individual, the better one's result was, the greater the reward.    

As soon as Ao Lingchen's words left his mouth, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.    

"Indeed. The most important thing right now is the Five Sects Competition. It is related to the distribution of resources in the sect, and also the hope for us to leave the Desolate Domain. We have to take it seriously."    

Qing Chen said to himself in a low voice.    

The evil spirit was an external influence, and it was considered a preemptive force. The Five Sects Competition was the most important thing right now. This matter was highly regarded from the higher ups of the sect to the disciples.    

Even a true disciple like Qing Chen's eyes were burning with passion when he mentioned the Five Sects Competition.    

"I'm afraid that the Five Sects Competition this year will be even more intense than the previous years. Because of the Solar Star Realm and the remains of the Glorious Sun, I'm afraid that many people's strength will be greatly enhanced. It's hard to tell how many dark horses will rise in the future."    

Tian Haiyu said in a low voice. As he spoke, he looked at Ao Lingchen and said, "The biggest dark horse that has been exposed is here."    

His words made everyone present look at Ao Lingchen. Qing Chen said with mixed emotions, "That's right. Who would have thought that our Essence Sword Sect would have such a dark horse? Pagoda Suppressing Heavenly Pride was used to kill devils. Junior Brother Ao was now the most popular candidate for the Five Sects Competition's championship. There are very few people who can compete with him for the championship. "    

Although Qing Chen was unwilling to admit it, the truth was right in front of him. He had to admit that Ao Lingchen had unknowingly surpassed him. Not to mention his strength, even in the hearts of the public, the popularity of him winning the championship was even higher than the so-called Heavenly Pride that had long been widely known.    

From the moment Ao Lingchen killed Wang Chongtian, Qing Chen knew that his chances of winning against the former were not high, not even 50%.    

"That's right. The rumors are spreading outside. The biggest dark horse in the history of Essence Sword Sect, Ao Lingchen, has risen to fame. He has killed the Heavenly Pride and won the championship."    

Tian Haiyu and the others nodded their heads in agreement.    

What these guys said made Ao Lingchen speechless. Was it really good to complain in front of him?    

Ao Lingchen thought for a while, then looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "The situation of entering the top one hundred this time is not much different from the previous years. They are all the true disciples of the five great sects and secret families. The core disciples are the core disciples. Apart from these people, there are only a few rogue cultivators who are the dark horses of the other ordinary powers. Out of these one hundred people, our Essence Sword Sect has occupied more than twenty of them. We can be considered to be familiar with these twenty people. However, regarding the situation of the other powers, do you know anything about them?"    

The competition this year was extremely fierce. Even though Ao Lingchen and the others were helping Xia Jingxue and the others hunt down other warriors, in the end, their blood energy rushed to the sixth pillar, but they still failed. This year, there were many experts who relied on their own strength to kill a large number of martial artists and finally rushed to the seventh column.    

As far as Ao Lingchen knew, he was the only one who managed to reach the ninth column in the first round of the test. There were twenty-six of them who made it to the eighth column, and four of them were from the Essence Sword Sect. The Asura Hall had three people, and the Ghost Fiend Hall had three. Two were from the group of rogue cultivators, and a total of eight were from the hidden families. The scariest one among them was the Hundred Flowers Palace. Their group of women actually occupied six men. They were far above the other major powers.    

A group of girls that looked like delicate and pretty girls were stained with so much blood. If one were to think about it carefully, they would be afraid.    

What made people speechless was that the Stellar Sect that reported this year's Five Sects Competition didn't even have a single person who could be ranked in the eighth column. This really made them feel amazed.    

The one who caused this situation was naturally Ao Lingchen, who stood at the highest point of the mountain and was the sole leader of the group. He was the dark horse that came out from the ninth pillar.    

There were a lot of people in the eighth column, so naturally, there were more people in the seventh column. For example, Zhou Yong, Tian Haiyu, the Dual Swordsmen and Yan Mo, Witch, and so on and so forth. One of them surprised Ao Lingchen, and that was Murong Feng. Even he rushed up to the seventh pillar, and his hands were stained with a lot of blood.    

Compared to the ninth and eighth pillars, there were sixty-eight people who had rushed up to the seventh pillar. Those who could charge up to the seventh pillar were naturally some extremely powerful core disciples. As well as those who stood out in the secret realm and slaughtered in all directions, the Essence Sword Sect was naturally the most eye-catching one. There were a total of eighteen people, and they occupied half of the territory.    

Finally, the sixth pillar that could be ranked in the top 100 was only between the sixth and seventh pillar. There was only a slight gap between them. These six were rogue cultivators, and they didn't even have a single expert from the five major sects.    

Regretfully, with the help of Ao Lingchen and the others, Xia Jingxue, who had rushed to the middle of the sixth pillar, and Ouyang Yu and the others did not make it to the top 100.    

When the ranking of the top hundred was announced, the entire Stellar Sect was left speechless. This time, the only one who managed to make it to the top hundred was the sole disciple of the host, and he had become the last face of the Stellar Sect. This scene made everyone speechless.    

Especially when the Stellar Sect's results were compared to the Essence Sword Sect's, it was like the stars in the sky compared to the small stones on the ground. On one side, it took up a quarter of the total of twenty-three people. The Stellar Sect only had one single child, which was pitiful.    

This was the gap between them. They had no choice but to compare the gap between them.    

While everyone was mourning for the Stellar Sect, they were also lamenting the power of the Essence Sword Sect, lamenting the dark horse that had caused all of this.    

If it wasn't for Ao Lingchen killing four of the true disciples of the Stellar Sect, the Stellar Sect would have been in a state of panic. In order to avoid being targeted by him, a large number of true disciples and core disciples chose to hide. They wouldn't have ended up with only one person on the list, becoming the laughing stock of the Desolate Domain.    

Ao Lingchen and the others didn't know that when the Hundred Strong Ranking was announced, everyone in the Stellar Sect wished they could kill him, especially Wang Boyong, who had lost a King Grade Combat Skill. They were gnashing their teeth at him, wanting nothing more than to burn his skin and bones.    

Of course, even if Ao Lingchen knew about it, he wouldn't pay too much attention to it. Because he had killed two of Wang Boyong's sons, it was destined that they would have to go against each other. It was only a matter of time before the other party launched a ruthless attack on him. It was just a matter of when this ruthless attack would appear.    

Compared to the hatred and killing intent of the Stellar Sect towards him, at this moment... Ao Lingchen wanted to know what kind of expert was in the top hundred, and what kind of dark horse he needed to pay attention to. After all, there were only a few days left until the second round.
