Tang Yan sounded uncertain.
“Grandfather and I saw it with our own eyes that day.
As for the rest…
I don’t know either.”
At his words, the powerhouses of the Tang family fell silent.
Compared to the Tang family’s stands, the Qi family’s spectator area was dead silent.
The terrifying figures of the Qi family glared at Jiang Hao in the center of the arena, their expressions dark.
“Is he the fool who insulted Celestial Yang’s authority?”
“Elder, that’s him.
This trash nearly made Celestial Yang the laughingstock of Xingyue City.
Everyone outside is saying that Celestial Yang is fighting over a woman with a piece of trash.
If word of this reaches the Celestial Sword Sect, what should we do?”
“Elder, I will go kill this brat.”
“No need to rush.
He is just useless trash; what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?
It won’t be too late to kill him after the great competition.
Besides, Celestial Yang will be coming out of seclusion soon.
Let him handle this matter himself.”
“Understood.”
The Qi family members finished their discussion and fell silent.
It seemed the Qi family’s Qilin Child was also coming out of seclusion today.
It was obvious that the Qi family held themselves aloof and lofty, completely disregarding a piece of trash.
As the conversations in the Qi and Tang families ended, a sudden sound echoed.
WHOOSH!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two figures descended from the sky, landing slowly in front of the Alchemy Stele.
One of them was naturally Bai Wufeng, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion.
As for the other elderly man in an Alchemy Robe, he was the Workshop Master of Xingyue City’s Miaodan Square.
After landing, Bai Wufeng first cast a bitter smile at Jiang Hao, then waved his hand grandly.
“I hereby announce that this year’s Pill Master competition for the Eastern Domain has officially begun!”
Once Bai Wufeng finished speaking, the elderly man in the Alchemy Robe swept a calm gaze over the audience.
“Everyone, what are you waiting for?
Let us begin.”
At those words, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone immediately grew tense.
A thousand people performing Alchemy together was an unprecedented spectacle.
If it weren’t Xingyue City’s turn to host the Pill Master competition, many people would never witness such a sight in their entire lifetimes.
On the Battle Platform, all the Pill Masters bowed slightly to Bai Wufeng and his companion.
Then, they slowly closed their eyes, beginning to sense and channel the Fire of Heaven and Earth.
In an instant, the temperature on the entire Battle Platform soared, and a terrifying wave of heat rose from the ground.
Even the Cultivators below the stage and in the spectator stands suddenly felt a blast of hot air hit their faces.
Wang Jiang sneered as he shot a glance at Jiang Hao, also beginning to sense and channel the Fire of Heaven and Earth.
Jiang Hao’s gaze swept over the entire venue before finally turning toward Ye Qingxian and Ye Tiannan below the stage.
He originally hadn’t wanted to show off in public, but he had been forced onto the stage.
He had no other choice.
Now, he could only give it his all to protect the one he loved, as well as himself.
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Hao discarded all distractions and began to sense and channel the Fire of Heaven and Earth.
The moment Jiang Hao closed his eyes…
BOOM!
The Fire of Heaven and Earth within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly trembled as if answering a mysterious summons.
“Huh?”
At this moment, the thousand-plus new generation of Pill Masters sensed the shift and snapped their eyes open.
They looked at their surroundings in shock, their faces draining of color.
“What is this…?”
“What terrifying perception!”
“Is someone sensing the Fire of Heaven and Earth?”
Countless new generation Pill Masters were horror-struck, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Ordinary Cultivators could not sense the changes in the Fire of Heaven and Earth, but as Alchemy Masters, they were extremely sensitive to it.
Even Wang Jiang’s expression changed drastically, his body trembling involuntarily.
The instant the Fire of Heaven and Earth within a radius of dozens of miles pulsed in unison, a sudden commotion erupted.
RUSTLE!
Over a thousand new generation Pill Masters abruptly stood up.
They stared blankly at the trembling Fire of Heaven and Earth around them, all acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
This scene instantly drew the attention of the entire venue, leaving everyone in the audience looking completely bewildered.
