Chapter 1065: Chapter 1065

One day later, at the Hidden Sect assembly on Serpent Island, early in the morning.

Although there was some time before the official start of the Hidden Sect assembly, the martial arts field on Serpent Island was already a sea of people.

In today's Hidden Sect assembly, a fair verdict would be given. One of the three Great Hidden Sects, the Immortal Sect, was suspected of annihilating several families of the Hidden Sects. Everyone wanted to see how the newly established Hidden Sect Alliance would resolve this issue. More importantly, people were curious about how the young leader of the Hidden Sect Alliance would handle this matter.

Around half-past eight in the morning, people began to walk onto the stage in the middle of the flat martial arts field on Serpent Island.

"That's Na Cheng, the leader of the Ming Sect."

Someone quickly recognized the person who ascended the stage.

"Haven't you heard? The leader of the Ming Sect was attacked a couple of days ago. Many people suspect it was done by the Immortal Sect, but the leader has remained silent about it."

"I've heard of this as well."

Many people beneath the stage were discussing the previous attack on Na Cheng.

At this moment, someone shouted, "The leader of the Immortal Sect is here!"

Immediately, all eyes turned towards the stage.

Indeed, the leader of the Immortal Sect, Shang Jiuzi, arrived on the stage with two protectors and Gusu Qingwen.

Due to recent incidents being suspected to be the work of the Immortal Sect, when the leader appeared, there was a buzz of discussion among the crowd below.

Ignoring the voices of discussion below, Shang Jiuzi went directly onto the stage and sat down.

"Sect Leader Shang, you came quite early." As Shang Jiuzi sat down, a white-bearded elder slowly came up from below the stage.

Shang Jiuzi glanced at the newcomer.

The newcomer held a high status within the Hidden Sects. He was Guan Zhongtian, the leader of the Beiqi Sect.

Although the Beiqi Sect was not considered a Great Gate Sect, Guan Zhongtian was a senior figure within the Hidden Sects. Even Shang Jiuzi had to address him as a senior.

It was said that Guan Zhongtian was over six hundred years old. Known as an eccentric within the Hidden Sects, Shang Jiuzi hadn't expected Guan Zhongtian to appear today.

"Greetings, Elder Guan." Shang Jiuzi offered a martial salute.

However, Guan Zhongtian ignored Shang Jiuzi's respectful gesture. "Sect Leader Shang, I am here today not for anything else but to seek justice for Wan Hualiang of the Sea Sect."

The crowd below the stage, all martial cultivators, heard the conversation between Shang Jiuzi and Guan Zhongtian clearly, despite the low volume.

Rumor had it that Wan Hualiang of the Sea Sect was annihilated by the Immortal Sect. With Guan Zhongtian standing up now, it seemed he meant business.

"Why is Elder Guan clashing with Shang Jiuzi?"

"Don't you know? Wan Hualiang was Guan Zhongtian's disciple, who practiced with him back then. Now that his beloved disciple is killed, how could he let it go?"

"I see, that's how it is…"

"With Guan Zhongtian's fiery temper, who knows if a fight will erupt…"

"If they start fighting now, it would indeed be a spectacular showdown."

Shang Jiuzi nodded after hearing Guan Zhongtian's words. "This is precisely the purpose of this Hidden Sect assembly. Our Immortal Sect will do our best to help you find the real culprit."

Upon hearing Shang Jiuzi's words, Guan Zhongtian's expression darkened. "Shang Jiuzi, the real culprit is you. Where else can you help me find the real culprit?"

As Guan Zhongtian finished speaking, a powerful burst of inner strength erupted.

People nearby couldn't even keep their eyes open due to the force of the inner strength.

Gusu Qingwen's brows furrowed tightly. If a fight were to break out now, the scene would be unmanageable.

But at this moment, Gusu Qingwen wasn't in a position to say anything. After all, they were all senior sect leaders, and she was just an ordinary disciple with no voice.

"Sect Leader Shang, it was you who invited the Sea Sect Master to Serpent Island that day. Just after they landed, Wan Hualiang and his group were completely massacred. Would Sect Leader Shang claim that even if these people died on Serpent Island, it has nothing to do with you?"

A burly man stepped onto the stage at this time.

This man was Wang Sen, who had set the date for the Hidden Sect assembly with Ding Fan on Serpent Island that day.

Gusu Qingwen frowned deeply at Wang Sen's words. His instigation made it even harder to control an already tough situation.

"Shang Jiuzi, do you still have anything to say now?" Guan Zhongtian asked coldly after hearing Wang Sen.

"There is a fair judgment in all things. I can clearly state that the matter of the Sea Sect has nothing to do with me or my Immortal Sect," Shang Jiuzi replied.

whew… Fınd the newest release on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥

A forceful wind suddenly blasted towards Shang Jiuzi.

The wind came from Guan Zhongtian beside him, and as soon as the people below the stage saw the move, there was an uproar.

Shang Jiuzi chose not to dodge. He met Guan Zhongtian's palm directly.

Bang! The palms of the two clashed heavily.

Hoo... For a moment, using the two people as the center, a significantly strong inner strength surged outward.

At this time, the two faced each other with their palms, and although it seemed they were merely standing opposite with palms touching, anyone with keen eyes could see that the two were competing in inner strength.

Both of them had to continuously channel their inner strength to their palms, and ultimately, whoever failed to keep up would be directly crushed by the opponent.

"Kill the Immortal Sect dog! Kill the Immortal Sect dog!"

"Kill the Immortal Sect dog!"

At this moment, a chorus of cheers erupted around them.

Gusu Qingwen looked at the surrounding condemnation, and instantly her face turned extremely grim. She was very anxious. What should she do now? If the deadlock continued, it would inevitably be very detrimental to the Immortal Sect.

And just then, when Gusu Qingwen was very anxious, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The movement technique of the newcomer was quite formidable, causing a chorus of exclamations from those present.

When Gusu Qingwen clearly saw who the newcomer was, her eyes instantly lit up. The person appearing in front of her was none other than Ding Fan!

Ding Fan was delayed by a minor issue and arrived a little later at the martial arts field. As soon as he got there, he heard a chorus of shouting.

When Ding Fan released his divine sense, he quickly discovered that on the platform, Shang Jiuzi was competing with someone in inner strength.

At that moment, Ding Fan didn't care about anything else; he directly used a teleportation spell to reach the dais.

Upon reaching the dais, Ding Fan grabbed the forearm of one person with each hand and then suddenly exerted force.

A powerful inner strength roared explosively. Subsequently, Shang Jiuzi and Guan Zhongtian, who were struggling hard, both retreated several steps before they could stabilize themselves.

Guan Zhongtian, stabilizing his figure, looked at Ding Fan with disbelief.

Others might not understand the bizarre situation just now, but Guan Zhongtian definitely knew. The two's inner strength was so tightly intertwined just now; it was not easy to break apart at all.

It must be noted, both Guan Zhongtian and Shang Jiuzi had cultivation above the Profound Level. Within the hidden sects, their cultivation was already of the elite level. So their inner strength being tightly interlocked, breaking it apart was as challenging as climbing to the heavens.

What surprised Guan Zhongtian the most was that after Ding Fan came up, he could break the two apart with a mere wave of his hand.

Guan Zhongtian had never interacted with Ding Fan before; he had only heard some tales about Ding Fan from others.

When he first heard about Ding Fan's feats, Guan Zhongtian thought they were merely rumors of the world.

However, now it seems that things are entirely different from what he thought, simply judging from that display by Ding Fan, the opponent's cultivation was simply above his own.

Pray tell, Ding Fan is just in his early twenties now. At this age, having Earth Level cultivation was already excellent, but the man was already above Fifth Grade Profound Level.

Even the typically arrogant Guan Zhongtian had to admit that Ding Fan was truly a talent!

Guan Zhongtian was astonished over here, while by the side, Shang Jiuzi opened his mouth wide. He knew Ding Fan was formidable, or otherwise, he wouldn't have possibly become the alliance leader of the Hidden Sect Alliance.

But Shang Jiuzi never anticipated that Ding Fan was strong to this extent.

"Gentlemen, the conference hasn't started yet. You are both senior sect leaders. In this way, it's probably not appropriate." Ding Fan's tone was calm, yet carried a distinct air of undeniable authority.

"Greetings to the Alliance Leader..."

"Greetings to the Alliance Leader..."

Only then did the surrounding people react, and in a moment, everyone clasped their fists to salute Ding Fan.

Guan Zhongtian and Shang Jiuzi both saluted with the courtesy of martial artists as well.

"Alliance Leader Ding, a month ago, you said you would give Sea Sect an explanation. Today marks a month, and we are all here to see how Alliance Leader Ding adjudicates the affair involving Wan Hualiang, the Li Family of Black Mountain, and Quanzhen Xuanmen and other sect matters."

At this point, Wang Sen stepped forward and spoke.

Ding Fan glanced at Wang Sen; he had indeed met Wang Sen a month ago. Behind Wang Sen stood an elder wearing a straw hat.

"I have already investigated everything clearly, and today I will naturally reveal the truth to everyone." Ding Fan said blandly.

Wang Sen stood beside Guan Zhongtian. "Sect Master Ding, our Wanhua Sect is a good friend of Sea Sect. Elder Guan and I will trust Alliance Leader Ding this time, and we shall see how the Alliance Leader judges!"

Although Ding Fan had met Wang Sen, he truly didn't know Wang Sen belonged to Wanhua Sect.

Yesterday, Qingmu made it clear that there was someone arranged by the hidden sects within Wanhua Sect, and Ding Fan now looked at the elder with a straw hat behind Wang Sen.

The elder's face was always obscured by the straw hat, and Ding Fan used his divine sense to probe.

The opponent turned out to be a Profound Level Second Grade martial artist.

After a careful divine sense investigation, Ding Fan detected a subtle difference. Although the opponent used a concealment magic artifact, Ding Fan could still sense a faint aura of a cultivator from him.

The aura of the opponent was extremely thin, if Ding Fan wasn't already aware of a hidden cultivator within Wanhua Sect, he wouldn't have detected it.

"Rest assured, I will naturally bring justice to everyone." Ding Fan said calmly.

Seeing Ding Fan speak thus, Guan Zhongtian thought it inappropriate to continue dueling with Shang Jiuzi, so he found a place to sit down.

Shang Jiuzi also sat down.

Gusu Qingwen saw the situation had finally calmed down, she exhaled a sigh of relief, and then gratefully glanced at Ding Fan.
