Chapter 1182 The Night of the Holy Fire

Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Chen followed Ji Tianxing from left to right.

The two treated Ji Tianxing very kindly and respectfully, treating him like a god-man.

The three of them flew across the night sky and on the way to Evergreen Mountain, they met many Xiao Clan disciples.

The people from the Xiao tribe from all houses rushed to Evergreen Mountain in groups of three or four.

Those people were men and women, young and old, and they were all looking forward to tonight's Holy Fire Festival, discussing as they drove.

Xiao Chen and Xiao Ling'er are the influential figures of the younger generation of the Xiao Clan, the most outstanding martial arts geniuses, attracting attention wherever they go.

Along the way, people kept saying hello to them.

When everyone saw Ji Tianxing, they all felt very strange, so they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

In particular, Xiao Chen and Xiao Linger's attitude towards Ji Tianxing was warm and respectful, which made everyone more curious about Ji Tianxing's identity.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at Evergreen Mountain and landed on the wide square.

In the square with a radius of one kilometer, thousands of people have already been waiting.

A circle of bonfires was placed around the square, and the flames rose violently, illuminating the dark night.

About 4,000 Xiao people were divided into nine areas and stood on the square.

In the very center of the square, there is a tall arena with a radius of 100 meters.

The arena is protected by a powerful soul-level magic circle, no matter how young geniuses fight on the arena, it will not affect the people in the square.

After Ji Tianxing and Xiao Linger arrived at the square, they walked into the crowd gathered by the Sanfang brothers.

The three of them stood still in the crowd, while waiting for the torch festival to start, they looked around at the situation.

The square was lively and noisy, everyone was talking about it, and countless people had expectant smiles on their faces.

Many young disciples are also gearing up and eager to try.

Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Chen's emotions are of course a little excited and excited, and they are very confident about tonight's assessment.

But they didn't look around, and stayed with Ji Tianxing all the time, telling him the origin of the Holy Fire Festival and some interesting things about it.

Ji Tianxing listened quietly, nodding or making comments from time to time, his expression remained calm.

Suddenly, he sensed several sharp auras staring at him secretly.

He turned his head and saw a young man in Chinese clothes staring at him coldly among the crowd of brothers from the second house next door.

That young man was Xiao Chong, surrounded by a group of second-family brothers, with an indifferent expression on his face, but a playful sneer hidden in his eyes.

In the crowd of four and five houses farther away, there were also Xiao Ke and several Xiao clan youths, casting cold gazes at him from time to time.

Obviously, these people have their own thoughts, waiting to see a good show.

Ji Tianxing didn't bother to pay attention to them, and talked and laughed with Xiao Linger indifferently.

Not long after, there was a commotion in the crowd, and there were exclamations and discussions.

"The elders are here!"

"Get out of the way, the Holy Fire Festival is about to begin!"

Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Ji Tianxing followed the prestige, and saw a group of elders from the Xiao Clan in purple robes approaching with majesty.

"Shua, Shua, Shua!"

A total of eight elders passed through the crowd in the square, flew to the ring and stood still, lined up.

Except for the third elder, all the elders of the eighth house were present.

The leader is a tall old man with white beard and hair.

This person is the current ruler of the Xiao Clan, the most authoritative Great Elder.

He swept across the audience with sharp eyes, slightly raised his hand and pressed down, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

Immediately, the thousands of Xiao clansmen in the square became quiet and stopped making any noise.

This is the prestige of the Great Elder, who can command the entire Xiao Clan with every move, and no one dares to disobey.

In fact, in today's Xiao Clan, the Great Elder is the third most noble person.

The most honorable person is of course the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Wentian.

But he is the ancestor of the Xiao family, and has been ignoring common affairs for hundreds of years.

In the eyes of everyone in the Xiao Clan, he has become a spiritual leader, a figure almost like a fairy.

Second only to the patriarch of the Xiao family is the Supreme Elder.

But the Supreme Elder also retreats all year round and does not show his face, rarely intervening in the affairs of the clan.

Therefore, the third-ranked Great Elder is the helm of the Xiao Clan, with the authority to speak out.

"As we all know, tonight is the sacred fire festival of our Xiao Clan every 20 years!

Since the ancestors set this rule thousands of years ago, it has continued to this day and has never been changed.

The purpose of the ancestors to set up the Holy Fire Festival is to give our young children an opportunity to communicate and promote their feelings, and an opportunity to show their strengths.

Most importantly, the Holy Fire Festival is to test everyone's cultivation achievements! "

The Great Elder looked at everyone majestically, and said loudly in a solemn tone: "In this world, cultivation resources are always in the hands of a few people!

Only martial arts elites and geniuses are eligible to enjoy and allocate resources.

Regardless of family, sect or any force, they must follow the law of survival of the fittest.

Therefore, tonight's assessment will determine the strength ranking of the forty-eight young people.

The two strongest disciples will receive generous rewards, and they will be able to leave the Xiao Clan and go to the Prosperous Central Province to make their fortunes.

The remaining forty-six children will also enjoy different levels of resources and treatment according to their rankings.

Destiny, after all, must be in your own hands!

Whether it is a mediocre life or a brilliant life, it all depends on how much effort you have put in! "

The Great Elder said these words with a serious face, and the rolling sound spread throughout the square, making thousands of people look solemn, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The forty-eight young disciples were all excited and full of fighting spirit.

Thousands of bonfires around the square, just like their mood, are rising violently and surging.

The First Elder paused for a moment before announcing solemnly: "For tonight's assessment, according to the usual practice, first the Second Elder will make a preliminary ranking for the forty-eight disciples.

Young disciples who have reached the Tianyuan Realm are eligible to enter the arena and draw lots to compete.

My seat and all the elders are present to supervise and supervise together! "

After he finished speaking, the slender second elder stepped forward and announced loudly: "All children of the right age who have reached the age of sixteen and have not participated in the assessment, all stand up!"

Following the second elder's order, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Chen and the others immediately stepped out of the crowd and walked to the ring.

Among the nine rooms, a total of forty-eight young people stood in a circle around the arena.

These young disciples consisted of nineteen girls and twenty-nine boys, all aged between sixteen and thirty-five.

Among them, the most powerful people, such as Xiao Chen, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke, have all reached around the fourth level of Tianyuan Realm.

And the weaker disciples also all have the strength of seven or eight levels of Yuandan Realm and Tongxuan Realm.

The Second Elder glanced across the crowd like lightning, and quickly gave a preliminary ranking.

Only twelve youths whose strength has reached the Tianyuan realm are qualified to compete in the arena.

The remaining thirty-six people are all at the Tongxuan Realm and Yuandan Realm, and they only need to be ranked according to their strength.
