The Huoyue Mountain Range is far wider than the Lingmeng Mountain Range, and Yeyang Valley and Dongyang Ridge are also far apart.

Du Fang's escape speed was extremely fast, but mobilizing his mana and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth consumed a lot of energy, so he had to travel a short distance and then stop to rest.

Fortunately, Du Fang got up early and was already close to the outskirts of Dongyang Ridge seven days before the event started.

As he was about to enter Dongyang Ridge, Du Fang found that the vegetation and flowers on the ground were becoming increasingly sparse, and the air was getting hotter and hotter.

Entering the outskirts of Dongyang Ridge, Du Fang found that the land had turned into a bare desert, with only scattered small grass piles dotting it.

Du Fang looked at the changes in the land with a gloomy face. He had never thought that the environment here was so bad.

Suddenly, Du Fang found a dozen people sitting cross-legged on the ground not far ahead.

Du Fang thought to himself: "This is probably the person attending the grand event."

Then he flew towards more than a dozen people.

When he got to the side of more than a dozen people, Du Fang put away the Qinghong Sword, raised his hand in greeting, and said politely: "I am Du Fang of Yeyang Valley, I have met all of you comrades."

These dozen or so people were all about thirty years old, some were male and some were female, and they were all in the early or middle stages of the Concentrating Soul Realm.

Although there were a lot of people here, not many people responded to what Du Fang said. They all just ignored Du Fang and continued to close their eyes and rest.

Seeing this, Du Fang felt a little embarrassed, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and he was surprised: "These people are so rude."

At this moment, a man stood up next to his right hand, returned Du Fang's greeting and said, "I'm in the Lingxin Palace, Chu Yuan, and I've met Taoist friend."

Du Fang looked at this man. He looked about thirty-five or sixty years old. He had a strong body and a kind face. He was in the early stage of the Concentration Realm.

Du Fang hurriedly said: "I have met fellow Taoist Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan waved his left hand and motioned for Du Fang to sit down with him.

Du Fang sat next to Chu Yuan with interest.

Chu Yuan looked at Du Fang and said in a low voice: "My master has a good relationship with Mr. Xiuyun, the noble ancestor. I think you are still young, so if you have anything you don't know, feel free to ask."

When Du Fang heard this, he said in surprise: "I see, thank you for taking care of me, Brother Dao. I wonder why no one else paid attention to me just now?"

After hearing this, Chu Yuan chuckled and shook his head and said: "My fellow Taoist, I don't know that the people who came here are all the disciples of the dozens of sects in my Huo Yue Mountain Range who are in the Concentration Realm. They are all thinking about the gifts given by the seven major sects in this grand event."

Treasures, everyone is fighting openly and secretly in their hearts, and everyone has their own agenda."

Du Fang was stunned and nodded towards Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan then said to Du Fang: "There are still a few days until the grand meeting starts. Fellow Taoist, please allow me to wait here. On the last day, seniors from the Huaquan Realm of the seven major sects will show up to preside over the meeting."

Du Fang responded: "In that case, then you and I will wait here."

After saying that, Du Fang and Chu Yuan sat cross-legged and meditated together.

In the following days, monks would come every day, either in pairs or alone, but most of them would just sit aside and mind themselves when they arrived, not communicating with anyone.

Occasionally, there are one or two people who greet everyone like Du Fang did before, but they all end in embarrassment.

In the early morning of the day when the grand event started, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and within a few breaths, a white-haired old man stepped on white clouds and appeared above Du Fang and others.

There was another person standing behind the white-haired old man. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and had reached the middle stage of concentration.

Just after the white-haired old man appeared, several more escaping lights appeared from the horizon one after another. They were all led by an elder and young disciples.

Chu Yuan, who was beside Du Fang, counted in a low voice: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, that's enough. The seniors of Huo Yue's seven sects in the Huaquan realm have all arrived."

When Du Fang heard this, he looked up.

I saw seven monks in the Huaquan Realm gathering together to discuss something.

The young disciples who followed them also gathered together, talking and laughing.

Du Fang touched Chu Yuan with his arm and asked: "Fellow Taoist Chu Yuan, why do these young disciples from the seven major sects seem so affectionate?"

Chu Yuan looked at those people, squinted his eyes and said angrily: "It's just that the face and the heart are at odds."

When Du Fang heard what Chu Yuan said, he didn't respond. He just quietly observed the young disciples.

The seven Huaquan realm monks deliberated for about half an hour, then stopped the discussion and turned to face the Concentrating Spirit realm disciples on the ground.

A tall and round old Taoist priest took a step forward and said, "I am the original Taoist priest. Thanks to the promotion of the other six fellow Taoists, I am hosting this grand event."

"In order to inspire our younger generation of disciples in the Huo Yue Mountains, this grand meeting will be based on the number and color of the Sun Grass according to the past rules. The time will be seven days from today."

"If the numbers are the same, compare the colors. If the colors are the same, compare the quantities. We and the seven of us will witness together. There will definitely be no fraud."

"The winners, the top three will be awarded Thunder Fire Crystal, Marrow Cleansing Pill, and two top-quality magic weapons according to their ranking."

"Disciples who fail to make it into the top three will also be given spiritual stones based on the collection of Sun Grass."

"There is not a safe place everywhere in Dongyang Ridge. You guys do your best to take care of yourself."

After saying that, Taoist Priest Yuan Feng allowed the other six to talk and ignored everyone.

When Du Fang heard about the Thunder Fire Crystal and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his heart moved: "These are treasures that can help monks in the Ningshen Realm survive the Thunder Tribulation of the Transforming Spring. Huo Yue's Seven Sects are so generous."

At this moment, all the monks in the Concentration Realm stood up, preparing to sacrifice their magic weapons and fly into Dongyang Ridge.

Just when Du Fang was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him: "Is this fellow Taoist Du Fang in front of me?"

Du Fang turned around and saw two people walking towards him.

One of them has a well-proportioned figure, but has a big, round face, with a lot of fat on his cheeks, and his eyes are thin and his nose is flat. He is really not that good looking.

The other person has an ordinary appearance, but is short in stature and has a cunning look on his face.

The two of them are about the same age, they both look to be in their mid-twenties, and their cultivation levels are at the early stages of the Concentration Realm.

As soon as Du Fang saw the two of them, he felt that they had evil intentions and became a little wary.

The round-faced monk was the first to speak: "I am Feng Jinping of the Wuxiang Sect. This is Taoist Brother Xian Yuqing from Xuanyangzhai. Do you dare to ask me if this friend is Ye Yanggu Du Fang?"

When Du Fang heard this, Feng Jinping from the Wuxiang Sect? Wasn't this Hong Yue's fiancé?

Du Fang quickly echoed: "I am Ye Yanggu Du Fang. I have met two Taoist friends. I once had some friendship with Fairy Hongyue, the wife of Taoist friend Feng Jinping. However, Fairy Hongyue was seriously injured at that time. I don't know now.

How is it?"

Du Fang said politely.

Unexpectedly, a ferocious look appeared on Feng Jinping's face. He pointed his right index finger at Du Fang and said viciously: "It's not because of you that I went out to study some formation with Hong Yue. I met that demon ape and injured Hong Yue. I went to see him off."

It was only after the betrothal gift that I learned that the wedding date had to be postponed."

"In the past few years, Hongyue has been injured and has not healed. She cannot marry me. Do you know that it is all because of you?"

Na Xian Yuqing looked at Du Fang and laughed sarcastically.

I saw Feng Jinping walking up to Du Fang, glaring at Du Fang and saying, "Don't let me meet you in Dongyang Ridge, otherwise you will be buried there."

After saying that, he set up a big ax and took Xian Yuqing to fly into the mountain. At the same time, the two of them laughed at Du Fang, as if they were looking at a fool.

Du Fang was so insulted by the two men that he couldn't help clenching his fists, but in the end he suppressed the anger in his heart and closed his eyes.

Chu Yuan listened on the side and felt very angry, but the two of them were disciples of the Seventh Huo Yue Sect, so he could only endure it.

After a while, Chu Yuan said to Du Fang: "Fellow Taoist, don't be like them. You are just a playboy from the seven major sects. You will not be welcomed in the sect. You and I should go into the mountain first."
