The official sect competition requires five main team members and two substitute members to register together.

Yan and Mo are not part of Nine Heavens Pavilion, and even if Huangfu Yihui and Huangfu Yanyao are included, they are still short three people.

Luo Qianqian directly contacted Nine Heavens Pavilion to send people over for the registration process. They’ll be waiting at the flight station closest to Nine Heavens Pavilion.

Because of the communication between Luo Qianqian and Luo Shufan, Nine Heavens Pavilion was in an uproar.

As the eldest grandson of the Luo Family, Luo Yanhai naturally took the lead, while the other brothers expressed their disapproval. However, considering their delicate wives and children at home, they had to agree and told Luo Yanhai to take good care of Luo Qianqian so as not to hold his sister back.

Aside from Luo Yanhai, Luo Xisi was rejected by the juniors, saying that as an elder, he could spectate but not participate; it’s a young people’s affair. Since his grandson was already born, he shouldn’t add to the chaos.

Luo Xiying was rejected for the same reason, itching with resentment because where was his grandson anyway???

Bai Yixian signed up Bai Yizhu without any objections from anyone.

As for Qin Nuan’s two elder brothers, each was busy accompanying their women, having no time for any sect competition.

He Wenyu was recommended by Luo Qianqian and was desperately trying to gain other people’s approval.

She had long been envious of Luo Qianqian’s habit of exploring the world and wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away.

Thus, the team was quickly settled, although three team members didn’t have many spectators.

The powerful Feng Xi and Luo Xiying naturally presided over Nine Heavens Pavilion, while Luo Xihan went to join Luo Xisi in observing the bustle, also bringing along the two elders. Meanwhile, the wives were busy caring for their grandsons, feeling regretful but still uneasy about the children managing themselves.

After meeting at the flight station, the newcomer Baili was under everyone’s observation but did not hold their gaze for long.

Because Luo Qianqian’s new hairstyle caught their attention more. When had anyone seen Luo Qianqian cut her hair so short?

Old Master Luo frowned more tightly: "Qianqian, what got to you? Did someone bully you?"

"Huh?" Luo Qianqian was a bit at a loss.

"Otherwise, why would you cut it so short? Isn’t it to cut off the numerous strands of vexation?" Old Master Luo argued with conviction, silencing Luo Qianqian.

Your imagination is really rich, why are her hair strands vexation strands? Can’t they be happy strands?

"Hehe, my hair was splitting, so I cut it straight; getting rid of the old brings in the new." Luo Qianqian argued confidently: "But since I cut it like a dog’s fur, my brother tidied it up for me. Isn’t it neat?"

Luo Shufan had black lines all over his face; please don’t drag him into this kind of thing.

The Little White Snake peeked out from Baili’s arms then retreated, showing no intention of appearing.

However, Yue Tingyu never spoke a word, only worriedly clutching a string of beads, stroking Xiao Tian’s fur and muttering prayers.

There was a constant feeling that this ’Flying Chicken’ was quite unreliable.

If they fell, they were old and wouldn’t mind much, but these children’s lives had just begun! What if something bad happened...

Luo Xihan quietly pulled out an eye mask and blanket, as there were no attendants available, so they had to bring their own.

After falling asleep, it indeed felt more comfortable than keeping eyes open. That was his experience.

Even though Yan and Mo had not joined Nine Heavens Pavilion, they provided explanations, sketching crossed lines on white paper laid out in the room: "The preliminary matches are divided into East, West, North, and South zones, located in arenas in the four directions of the Southern Li Imperial City."

"Aside from the teams from Star Path, each of the four zones will have ten teams, including the top ten teams from the last sect competition, totaling fifty teams."

"I refer to them as teams rather than sects as in recent years there have been a few teams that are branches within sects."

"Besides Nine Heavens Pavilion, Star Path has three other sects emerging, making fifty-four teams combined, with each zone’s first place and last sect competition’s top three exempted from preliminaries, leaving forty-seven teams to be randomly distributed into four zones."

"Each zone will pick the top three to advance to the qualifying rounds, which will take place in the Imperial City’s main venue. However, now we clearly need to first focus on passing the preliminary rounds."

Unusually, this time’s sect competition doesn’t involve eighty sects; with the Cultivation World’s reconstruction and recovery, interactions among sects aren’t as intimate.

It’s no longer about a battle among three kings; as even Star Path’s former trio of minor kings now only has four sects emerging, unlike the usual ten teams.

Last time’s Top Ten Sects didn’t have many nominations either.

Even the format of the qualifying rounds has undergone changes, as all sects’ preliminaries have become an exchange among remaining forces...

Yan calmly looked at everyone, tapping his pen on the table: "Preliminary match, Shiqi and Yann Yao shouldn’t both go up; Yihui and Shufan shouldn’t both go up."

But soon after speaking, he deeply glanced at Huangfu Yihui and Huangfu Yanyao and continued: "However, someone might notice you. From what I know, your brothers might also participate in this tournament."

Huangfu Yihui’s face turned difficult; despite their efforts to ignore the fact that they were from Southern Li, it was indisputable and unchangeable.

Even if they wanted all this to pass, their brothers might not let it pass.

Although they possessed high talent, there were still a few with higher abilities, some being taken in by sects.

Should they encounter them, no matter how they conceal themselves, they would likely be recognized.

"So what? Do they think they’ll surpass you? Ha! Involvement with the Otherworld is courting death!" Luo Qianqian said bluntly, her face full of indignation.

Not just saying, but those Otherworldly things brought extreme panic to her world. If they hadn’t fled quickly, they’d be taken to labs for research now...

"First, the official team members." Yan glanced at Luo Qianqian, sighed, and helplessly shook his head; she’s always so impassioned.

"Shiqi, Yann Yao and I are for certain." Huangfu Yihui lowered his eyes, obscuring his expression.

Yann Yao nodded; from any angle, the Royal Family could only bring them warmth from their mother.

Luo Qianqian also nodded, looking at her three brothers and He Wenyu, contemplating for a moment: "Xiao Yu as a substitute."

He Wenyu hurriedly nodded; she was aware of her capabilities, and without Luo Qianqian’s insistence, she wouldn’t be here at all.

"You guys, rock-paper-scissors."

Luo Qianqian pursed her lips impartially, showing no leniency even to her brother.

Thus, Luo Shufan became the substitute member...

"I suddenly thought of a problem..." Mo suddenly had a hard-to-look-at expression when he faced Yan.

Yan returned the hard-to-look-at expression to Mo, the two exchanged confused glances.

"You haven’t coordinated at all!" Yan covered his forehead, feeling the pounding of veins on his temple.

The plan was to use Adventure Guild tasks for coordination practice, but apart from facing the Fiery Flame Fierce Tiger, they hadn’t really coordinated.

Later, Luo Qianqian got struck by lightning and was suddenly arranged precisely, leaving no time to consider anything else.

This led them to overlook the coordination for team battles entirely.
