After hearing old ’s explanation, his sons became silent

During the brief tiht up to the lower terraceThere were two ht up because they had connections with the people above

Oldpatiently waited

“At the Dragon Gate Tourna, then you ht a death match for the members of the Immortal SchoolsIf your skill level is inferior, then youthese three thousand people, at the end, there will be no more than two hundred people who can walk out of the valley aliveSo if you don’t want to take the risk, don’t continue” oldtold his sons

“Don’t worry father,” his sons spoke with stern facesThis was their best chance, were they going to give up the opportunity?

“En,” oldnodded in reply

There were thirty people from various factions stood on the fifty lower terracesOn the upper terraces, there was only one person clad in white robeHe stood on the top of the upper terrace looking doards with indifference

Shortly after, others arrived on the upper terraces, a group of glittering , and a group of reat Schools had already arrived on the upper terraces

Her arrival attracted the attention of everyoneHer purple robe with many sashes looked very beautifulHer bare feet were pretty as jade, her figure was attractively voluptuous, and her face was extremely exquisite

It seemed that no description in the world could describe her lookShe was so beautiful that al

Many people on the lower terraces and at the bottoEven the seven sons of oldwasn’t looking at her at theeyesAs for Zhong Tian, he paid little attention to the spectacle, as if he couldn’t recognize her beautyHe si

Mereat I at her tooBut after they saw her face clearly, all obviously shi+vered and didn’t dare to look any more

There were about a hundred people lining along the edge of the valley, they were like oldthe Immortal Schools and had sent their sons here

“Those at Xian Tian who are not yet 50, step forward”the white bearded man continued

Hearing those words, twenty people, excitement in their eyes, stepped away from the crowd and formed one row

These were the strongest who had reached Xian Tian before turning 50
