Chapter 452: The Battle Begins
As the people from the three sects dispersed, Wang Xu brought Jiang Chen and Guigu's disciples to the large fighting stage in the center of the square.
With the arrival of Jiang Chen and others, the eyes of people from other sects also focused on Jiang Chen.
"Is that young man the Holy Son of Guigu?"
"Yeah, she looks very young, and doesn't seem very powerful."
"Oh my god, you probably don't know this Saint Son of Guigu yet."
"A few days ago, he killed Lin Ruicai with just a few strikes!"
"Lin Ruicai, are you talking about the late Xiantian Grandmaster, the inner disciple of Guigu who always likes to bully others by taking advantage of his power?"
"That's right. You may not know, but I heard that it was this Saint who defeated the enemy with one move!"
The disciples from various schools of thought were discussing in low voices, and from time to time they would secretly glance in Jiang Chen's direction.
Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen naturally sat down next to Wang Xu.
The Qilin monster just lay obediently at the feet of its master.
After Wang Xu took his seat, the leaders of the four major sects looked at each other.
Then, they nodded at the same time, took out a part of the jade pendant from their arms and threw it into the air.
Immediately afterwards, before the four parts of the jade pendant fell to the ground, they were grasped in the hands of a figure.
"The four sacred symbols are all here. Tell the Holy Lord to start the inheritance!"
"I hereby declare that the competition for the position of Holy Lord of the Ancient Holy Land has officially begun!"
After the figure combined the four parts of the jade pendant in his hand into one, he spoke loudly.
At this time, Jiang Chen had already seen the true appearance of this figure.
He was a white-haired old man who exuded a terrifying aura and was wearing a linen robe.
Jiang Chen could clearly feel it from the old man in hemp clothes.
This old man's strength might even surpass that of his master!
His strength has surpassed that of Jiang Chen's master. This old man is probably either a warrior at the peak of the Saint Realm or a so-called God Realm warrior...
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel shocked again by the heritage of the ancient holy land.
This ancient holy land is indeed worthy of the power established by Emperor Yu thousands of years ago.
But at the same time, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Why does the ancient holy land possess such great power, but has always been hidden in this ancient holy land.
Instead of being born directly and shown to the world.
This question is also the one that has always troubled Jiang Chen the most.
Soon, Jiang Chen temporarily put this matter behind him.
After all, as long as one successfully ascends to the throne of the Holy Lord, these questions will be answered.
After thinking everything through, Jiang Chen focused his attention wholeheartedly on the old man in hemp clothes.
"Now, please ask the disciples chosen by the various schools of thought to participate in the Saint Protagonist Competition to stand up!"
The old man in sackcloth clothes glanced at everyone present and announced loudly.
As the old man in hemp clothes finished speaking, nearly a hundred people stood up.
After receiving Wang Xu's instructions, Jiang Chen stood on the fighting stage.
"Very good, it seems that all of you philosophers and schools of thought have found good successors this generation!"
After sensing the cultivation base of the one hundred disciples from various schools who were preparing to compete for the position of Saint Lord, the old man in hemp clothes smiled with some satisfaction.
After expressing his emotion for a while, the old man in hemp clothes put away his smile and spoke very seriously to Jiang Chen and the other 100 disciples who were participating in the Saint Protagonist Battle.
"Next, the one hundred of you will be divided into five groups for a big melee."
"The last two people who can still stand or get up on each stage will be able to participate in the second round of this Saint Protagonist Chase!"
"Okay, I think you all understand. Next, let's start drawing lots to form groups!"
After the old man in hemp clothes finished speaking, he took out a bamboo tube.
Inside the bamboo tube, there are wooden sticks with five different colors on the ends.
After hearing what the old man in hemp clothes said, Jiang Chen walked forward without hesitation and took out a wooden stick from the bamboo tube.
Jiang Chen took a look and saw that the wooden stick he drew was red.
This also means that Jiang Chen will compete on the same stage with 19 other disciples from various schools of thought who also drew red.
Soon, one hundred disciples from various schools of thought, including Jiang Chen, had finished drawing lots.
Looking at the disciples who already had the sticks in their hands, the old man in hemp clothes nodded and announced loudly.
"The groups are complete, everyone, look at the color of the sticks in your hands !"
"The first group to be selected for the melee will be red. Disciples who have drawn red lots, please step onto the battle stage!"
After hearing the words of the old man in hemp clothes, Jiang Chen looked at the red stick in his hand and couldn't help but smile.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to be on stage right away."
Jiang Chen turned around with a smile, and Wang Xu gave him an affirmative look and nodded.
Looking at Wang Xu's eyes, Jiang Chen knew that Wang Xu was telling him something.
"My disciple, just let go and do it. It's time for the eagle to start soaring!"
After getting a response from his master, Jiang Chen held his breath.
This time, he did not use the Fengxing Spear, but just slowly walked onto the fighting stage.
Below the stage, the Qilin beast, watching its master step onto the fighting stage, raised its head and roared at Jiang Chen on the fighting stage.
“Roar—roar—”
Listening to the roar of the Qilin beast, it seemed as if it was cheering for Jiang Chen.
Hearing the roar of the Qilin monster, several of the 19 disciples from various schools of thought who had were so frightened that their legs went limp.
Seeing this scene, the old man in hemp clothes, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly changed his expression.
"These descendants of the various schools of thought are really useless. However, this strange beast is quite interesting."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, a trace of that old man's bloodline has been passed down."
The old man in hemp clothes muttered to himself, then turned around and shouted loudly to the people on the fighting stage.
"Everyone, the battle begins!!"
As soon as the old man in hemp clothes finished speaking, the disciples on the fighting stage rushed towards their chosen opponents.
For a moment, the entire fighting stage was in chaos, with the nineteen disciples fighting together.
But what was surprising was that none of the other 19 people on the field took the initiative to attack Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised by this scene.
From this perspective, it seems that I only need to stand here for the first game? ?
Wang Xu and others in the audience couldn't help but be stunned when watching this scene.
But if you think about it carefully, this is actually quite normal.
