Chapter 975: The Battle Begins

Martial Saint Mountain, on the top of the mountain.

A group of old men with white hair were sitting on a long corridor in the clouds, they were naturally the deans of the nine ancient academies as well as the higher-ups.

The crowd below the Martial Saint Mountain was unable to see them. However, they could clearly see the crowd below.

The head of the Nine Ancient Institutes, the Dean of the Diqing Ancient Institution, Fang Zhiyu, looked in the direction of Yao Qing's impact below and his eyes narrowed slightly, “Jian Feng, you're going to lose a lot this time.”

“Even your Cang Long Sacred Sword was used as a reward, what a big deal.”

Xiao Jianfeng's face didn't look good, especially when he sensed Lin Mo's strength, which was merely at the fifth level of the Wanxiang realm.

This reward had been put up a long time ago, originally, Xiao Jianfeng did want to use this to motivate Lin Mo and the others, and he also hoped that Ye Xuan and Lin Mo could turn their differences into peace, and work together to guard the beliefs of the Canglong Ancient Academy.

But he didn't expect that the finals were about to start, and Lin Mo's cultivation level was still on the low side.

“Alas, if we had another month, we shouldn't have this worry.” Mu Tian also sighed and said.

“That's true, it's hard to believe that you, Canglong Ancient Academy, still have someone who can stand up to my Emperor Qing's three masters?” Fang Zhiyu smiled and said.

“Perhaps there will be.” Xiao Jianfeng said.

“Don't be naive, give Ye Xuan another month's time and he won't be able to catch up with Yao Qing.” Fang Zhiyu said with certainty. “As for the others, they are still a level behind anyways.”

“Let's wait and see then.” Xiao Jianfeng said, “If my Cang Long Sacred Sword, falls into Yao Qing's hands, then it will be considered a great gift from me to him.”

“Then I will thank you for him, haha.” Fang Zhiyu laughed.

......

Below, dozens of figures, all rushing towards that golden staircase where the Cang Long Sacred Sword was located, the ones rushing at the very front were naturally Lin Mo and Fang Misheng and the others.

There were also quite a few celestial pride behind them, also aiming for this.

“There's a change in plan, Holy Spirit Ancient Academy's heavenly pride, unite to hold Yao Qing back while I take the sword.” Lin Tianxuan suddenly shouted, and then he fought directly with Yao Qing without a son.

“Lin Tianxuan, do you not want to enter the finals?” Seeing this, Yao Qing said angrily in a deep voice, amongst so many heavenly prides, he only had some scruples towards Lin Tianxuan.

The others, they couldn't shake his position yet.

Lin Tianxuan, however, laughed: “Even if I can't occupy the golden ladder, if I can take the Cang Dragon Ancient Academy's most precious treasure, the Cang Dragon Sacred Sword, I think it's still worth it.”

“Cang Long Holy Sword?”

As soon as his words came out, the entire room was in an uproar, and even those who hadn't thought of stepping across the line were shaken when they heard the four words Cang Long Sacred Sword.

Although they all knew that on the nine golden staircases, there were treasures placed by all the major ancient academies, but no one thought that the Canglong Ancient Academy had placed the supreme treasure of faith in general, the Canglong Sacred Sword.

This was an extreme temptation.

“Cang Long Ancient Courtyard disciples listen to the order, cancel all plans and do your best to protect the Cang Long Sacred Sword!”

Ye Xuan's face also changed drastically in vain when he learned about it, he originally didn't want to clash hard with Yao Qing right from the start, but that treasure was the Cang Long Sacred Sword, then he would have to grab it desperately no matter what he said.

“Count yourself ruthless!”

Yao Qing glared fiercely at Lin Tian Xuan, originally not many people knew that the treasure of the Cang Long Ancient Academy was the Cang Long Sacred Sword, after he said that, now all of them knew ......

Then it would be quite difficult for him to snatch it down.

“Since you guys want to fight, then we'll fight all of you down in advance!” Yao Qing said in a deep voice, “Sima Tianyi, Journey Fly, fully protect me to seize the treasure.”

“The rest of you stand ready at all times, as long as their top heavenly pride dares to come over and intervene, go ahead and grab all of their Ancient Courtyard's treasures.”

“Yes, Senior Brother Yao!”

The many Celestial Pride of the Emperor Qing Ancient Courtyard answered in unison.

They were the head of the Nine Paths Ancient Courtyard, and their experts were much stronger than the other eight ancient courtyards, and the three masters of Emperor Qing that Fang Zhiyu had spoken of, Yao Qing, Sima Tianyi, and Journeying Fei, each possessed top-notch battle power like Ye Xuan and the others.

It wouldn't even be a problem for them to monopolize the three golden stairs.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not a moment later, below the huge golden ladder where the Cang Long Sacred Sword was located, an astonishing roar erupted, and Lin Tianxuan was ultimately unable to unfold his own plan, and was forced to battle with Yao Qing.

As for Ye Xuan, they and the Celestial Pride under Lin Tianxuan then fought chaotically with the Celestial Pride of the Emperor Qing Ancient Academy, the Canglong Ancient Academy's side were all striving to make an impact, and when they saw someone else rushing over, they intercepted them no matter who it was.

The Celestial Pride of the Holy Spirit Ancient Courtyard, on the other hand, were following Lin Tianxuan's intention, and had been holding Yao Qing.

The other Ancient Courtyard's Celestial Pride also wanted to intervene, so they all came charging in, but none of them were willing to fight with Yao Qing Lin Tian Xuan, and all of them avoided them from charging the golden ladder.
