The Martial Alliance Headquarters was situated on Mount Cang City. The reason for choosing this location was quite simple. There was no powerful martial arts sect here.

When the Martial Alliance was first established, its purpose was to jointly resist the pressure of the immortal sects. However, martial arts sects were also wary of each other. They feared that a major sect would control the Martial Alliance Headquarters, thereby threatening other sects. Thus, Mount Cang City, a place without a powerful martial arts sect, was chosen.

Nowadays, the Martial Alliance had declined and had become a mere shell of its former self. Usually, there were only a few disciples in charge of cleaning and guarding the place, without even a single acquired martial artist. This showed the desolation of the Martial Alliance Headquarters.

However, recently, the headquarters had been receiving a steady stream of visitors from the martial arts world. Consequently, the town at the foot of Mount Cang City gradually became lively.

Lin Fei, along with the members of the Nine Profound Sect, arrived at Mount Cang City. Seeing the endless stream of martial artists, many inner sect disciples were excited.

"Are those people from the Blood Refining Sect? I heard that the Blood Refining Sect values body refining the most. Their body-refining techniques are extremely terrifying.

"If one's body refining doesn't meet the Blood Refining Sect's requirements, they might even be expelled from the sect. And those white-clad swordsmen, they must be disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect, right?"

"The Hidden Sword Sect excels in swordsmanship. Each generation of their disciples must venture into the world to inherit the title of 'The Number One Sword Under Heaven.'"

"Yes, the Hidden Sword Sect is really arrogant. Each generation's top swordsman must use actual combat to seize the title of 'The Number One Sword Under Heaven.'"

"That's why the 'Number One Sword Under Heaven' in Great Chang almost always comes from the Hidden Sword Sect."

The Nine Profound Sect disciples were abuzz with chatter. For a moment, Lin Fei realized that these disciples knew more about martial arts sects than he did.

"The Hidden Sword Sect, huh?"

Lin Fei instantly spotted the Hidden Sword Sect disciples. They all carried long swords on their backs.

Lin Fei's deep impression of the Hidden Sword Sect was for two reasons. One was the Sword Saint Bai from three hundred years ago, who was considered the last Martial Saint of Great Chang. Secondly, each generation of the Hidden Sword Sect produced the most outstanding swordsmen.

Moreover, without exception, those who inherited the title of "The Number One Sword Under Heaven" would definitely comprehend Sword Intent! In the entire Great Chang, martial artists who could comprehend Martial Dao True Intent were scarce, even countable on one's fingers. But the Hidden Sword Sect always occupied one or several spots on that list.

Each generation saw the birth of a Sword Intent expert from the Hidden Sword Sect! In this aspect, the Hidden Sword Sect was much stronger than the Nine Profound Sect.

Of course, while the Nine Profound Sect disciples discussed other sects, those from other sects also talked about the Nine Profound Sect.

The Nine Profound Sect was not a sect without a foundation. The Nine Profound Sect had produced such a remarkable figure as the Nine Profound Sect's founder.

Back then, he had been invincible, seeking a worthy opponent but failing to find one. Even Foundation Establishment Realms praised him as an unparalleled genius, rarely seen in the world!

And now?

Although the Nine Profound Sect was no longer as strong as it used to be, the Nine Profound Sect produced an extraordinary individual. He was the most renowned figure in the entire Great Chang recently.

Immortal Slayer Saber!

The Nine Profound Sect had given birth to the "Immortal Slayer Saber." He had slain two high-level Qi Condensation cultivators from He Mountain Dao.

This news had already shaken the entire Great Chang martial arts world. All martial artists felt exhilarated. After all, martial artists had been suppressed by Qi cultivators for too long.

The appearance of the "Immortal Slayer Saber" undoubtedly restored some dignity to martial artists. However, as for who the "Immortal Slayer Saber" was? What did he look like? Most people were not clear about it.

Therefore, many martial artists, although they saw the people from the Nine Profound Sect, they did not know which one was the Immortal Slayer Saber. Lin Fei also traveled with the inner sect disciples. He was equally young. No one could tell he was the Grand Elder of the Nine Profound Sect.

Soon, the Nine Profound Sect's group arrived at the Martial Alliance Headquarters. Disciples were already there to greet them.

"We are disciples of the Nine Profound Sect."

A disciple handed over the invitation letter from the Martial Alliance.

"Senior brothers and senior sisters of the Nine Profound Sect, the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference is about to begin. Please follow me."

The reception disciple led the Nine Profound Sect members directly to the venue of the exchange conference.

Lin Fei took a glance. There were not many martial artists left at the foot of the mountain. Many sects' disciples had arrived at Mount Cang City yesterday or even the day before. They just stayed in the town at the foot of Mount Cang City for one night. As for the Nine Profound Sect's group, they had just arrived at Mount Cang City, looking travel-worn. Soon, Lin Fei and the others saw the venue of the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference in the distance.

It was a huge open space. Weapon racks were placed all around and various weapons were displayed on them. Each sect occupied a section, forming a large circle.

Inside the circle, there were many temporary arenas. These were for the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference, used for disciples of various sects to "exchange" ideas.

At the top of the arenas, thirteen chairs were arranged. They represented the thirteen sects of the Martial Alliance. Only the representatives of the thirteen sects could sit on those chairs.

According to past conventions, the martial artists representing the thirteen sects were generally innate martial artists. In other words, these thirteen chairs represented thirteen martial arts masters.

At this moment, twelve masters had already taken their seats on the thirteen chairs. Only one chair was left unoccupied. Moreover, there was still an empty space on the ground. That was the position for the Nine Profound Sect.

"The people from the Nine Profound Sect haven't arrived yet."

"The Nine Profound Sect is quite far from Mount Cang City. They should be here soon. Let's wait a bit longer."

"I wonder which master from the Nine Profound Sect will lead the team this time? Could it be the famous 'Immortal Slayer Saber'?"

"Immortal Slayer Saber? It's unlikely. Although the Immortal Slayer Saber has been in the spotlight lately, He Mountain Dao hates him to the core. How could Immortal Slayer Saber dare to leave the Nine Profound Sect at this time?"

"Hehe, didn't you know? He Mountain Dao has temporarily closed their mountain for some reason."

"Closed the mountain? He Mountain Dao is a prestigious immortal sect. How could they just close their mountain like that?"

"Perhaps it's because of the 'Immortal Slayer Saber.' I heard that the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' has a deep connection with the royal family."

"Anyway, I really want to see the 'Immortal Slayer Saber.' What kind of demeanor does someone who can slay immortals with a saber have?"

Many disciples and martial artists were staring at the empty chair. Their eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that the master leading the Nine Profound Sect would be the Immortal Slayer Saber. In this way, they could witness the demeanor of the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' with their own eyes.

"They're here."

"The people from the Nine Profound Sect have arrived."

"Who is the master leading the Nine Profound Sect?"

"Did the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' come?"

As the Nine Profound Sect's group arrived, the entire Martial Alliance Exchange Conference became lively. Countless martial artists craned their necks in anticipation. Their eyes were fixed on the Nine Profound Sect's group.

For a moment, the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect felt extremely proud. Even though they were travel-worn and had just arrived at Mount Cang City, they all held their heads high, looking spirited. However, among the disciples of Autumn Haze Mountain, one person was not as excited.

Liu Hao!

After being defeated by Lin Fei, he took it as a great shame. So, he practiced martial arts like crazy for several months. He actually soared from the acquired third level to the acquired sixth level! Of course, Liu Hao's family also contributed a lot. But this was also due to Liu Hao's outstanding talent and his extreme efforts.

Liu Hao also came to the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference with Autumn Haze Mountain this time. He wanted to see if Lin Fei was among the Nine Profound Sect disciples. This time, he wanted to avenge his previous disgrace!

"Lin Fei, your talent is quite impressive. You will most likely come to this Martial Alliance Exchange Conference. For this day, I have trained hard for months, which is equivalent to years of practice! We martial artists know shame and then become courageous. The grudge of that day's saber, if we meet today, I will return it twice!" Liu Hao murmured quietly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. As for the recent popular Immortal Slayer Saber from the Nine Profound Sect, Liu Hao didn't pay any attention at all.

Moreover, everyone was talking about the Immortal Slayer Saber. But who exactly was the Immortal Slayer Saber? What was his real name? Many people didn't know. Liu Hao didn't care either.

How could he, a mere disciple, have any contact with such a lofty and influential figure? He was very clear that his biggest dream in this life was to achieve innate and become a martial arts master.

However, even if he became a master, he would definitely not be able to compare with top experts like the "Immortal Slayer Saber" who could stir up the world's situation. Liu Hao still had this self-awareness.

"The people from the Nine Profound Sect are here!"

Liu Hao fixed his gaze, searching among the Nine Profound Sect group.

Liu Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. He locked onto a figure, Lin Fei! The Lin Fei, who had made Liu Hao flee in panic like a lost dog at the Zhang family that day, had indeed come!

"Lin Fei, you really came. It seems that I'm still lucky. Today, I have the opportunity to avenge my past disgrace!"

Liu Hao was very excited. He had been practicing hard for months for this day! After that, Liu Hao watched as Lin Fei and his group came to the seats reserved for the Nine Profound Sect at the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference.

Then, Liu Hao saw Lin Fei stand up. Surprisingly, he walked towards the thirteen chairs reserved for the masters.

What was Lin Fei doing? Those thirteen chairs were reserved for martial arts masters. Lin Fei was an acquired disciple, what was he doing there?

However, Lin Fei didn't stop. Instead, under Liu Hao's astonished gaze, step by step, he came to the empty chair. Then, Lin Fei directly sat down.

"Boom."

Suddenly, Liu Hao's mind went blank.

"Could it be..."

Liu Hao's face turned pale. At this moment, not only was Liu Hao shocked, everyone at the Martial Alliance Exchange Conference was stunned.

Lin Fei was so young, yet he sat in the chair reserved for masters.

"Nine Profound Sect Grand Elder, 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei, takes his seat!"

A disciple from the Martial Alliance announced loudly. Each martial arts master would be announced by a Martial Alliance disciple. This was a sign of respect for the martial arts masters.
