Abyss Dragon!

The seven seniors looked at each other, the seating is made to be a single row. The seating placement of the seniors are, in order, Old Yin of Thousand Blood Sect, Senior Nian of Soaring Phoenix Sect, Senior Fang of Heavenly Sword Sect, Senior Ming of Wondrous Sky sect, Senior Yingjun of Hundred Beast Palace, Senior Shan of Golden Earth sect, and Senior Bing of Serenity Sect.

The elders was told to keep watch of the competition so they did not join them, the seven seniors looked at each other.

Old Ming cleared his throat, with that the others turned their focus on him.

"I believe all of you had already been informed of the tiger's roar that sounded in this area".

"Indeed, an elder of my sect had said that the roar was not quite that of a spiritual beast" Senior Yingjun said.

"Our nephews informed us, and we came here because there was something special about it." Senior Shan chimed in, he had a serious face.

"Yes, the reason that I am here personally, is because that roar had something to do with my sect master's disciple." Old Ming said with a mysterious tone.

"That kid with the special bloodline?" Fairy Nian remarked without a care.

"If i remembered correctly, her bloodline is that of the white tiger" This time senior Fang talked.

"And that roar was like that of a tiger's" Old Yin added.

So far senior Bing had not said a single word, he had his eyes closed and he seemed disinterested to the happenings of the world.

"Yes, you are spot on. But just because the roar was that of a tiger's, doesn't mean that it's connected to the holy beast white tiger at all." Old Ming smiled as he said that.

"Speak of the devil, here she comes"

As soon as Old Ming said that, a woman flew on a magic treasure and landed on the podium. It was Zhan Hua, she saluted the seniors and walked to stand behind Old Ming after that.

"Hua'er, how goes the investigation?" Old Ming asked her.

"Uncle, I wasn't able to find anything aside from the fact that there was a person there at that time"

"Is that so?, but a person huh?" Old Ming had a contemplative look on his face.

"Old Ming, enough with this, just tell us what we need to know already." Senior Shan said with an impatient tone.

"haha, well then Hua'er, can you tells them what you told me from before?"

"yes uncle"

Zhan Hua looked at all the seniors.

"That night, when I heard that roar, my blood reacted to it"

The seniors had a weird look on their face when they heard that.

"Does that mean, another person with the same bloodline as her appeared?" Fairy Nian asked with doubt.

"That's very unlikely" Senior Fang chimed in.

"With how special her bloodline is, that is indeed very unlikely" Old Ming nodded.

"Actually, uncle, I just received new information this morning" Zhan Hua told Old Ming.

"oh? could you tell me what it is?" Old Ming was surprised.

"Junior sister Chen had informed me that, when she went to investigate for the first time she had found a sword" She continued.

"And when she was going to bring that sword back, a disciple from the thousand blood sect intercepted her to take it" She said after giving Old Yin a glance.

"So?, where's that sword?" Old Yin said with a smile, he didn't seem to care about what the disciples of his sect does.

Old Ming looked at him for a bit, then he too asked Zhan Hua where that sword is.

"Well, that's the problem. As they were fighting, a young man suddenly appeared and knocked them both out, the sword was taken" Zhan Hua said with a very serious expression.

Before anybody could say anything, Zhan Hua's hair turned white. Her nails turned to sharp claws, and her eyes became bright gold and like a tiger's.

Everyone was surprised as they looked at her, they could feel a faint sense of danger from her even with their advanced cultivation. Old Ming was used to this, but he was surprised on why she transformed, but the next moment he was even more surprised.

"Before junior sister Chen was knocked out, she was able to see a glimpse of what the man looked like. Although he had his mouth covered, his features looked exactly like my transformation"

As Zhan Hua said that, she undid her transformation.

The seniors looked at each other, and started arguing. Senior Fang looked like she already knew about the sword, but the new information still surprised her a little bit.

"Kuhum!, please settle down. Fairy Fang, I believe you were here at that time, did you manage to find anything?" Old Ming silenced everyone and asked Senior Fang.

Senior Fang nodded.

"When I heard it, I immediately swept the surroundings with my spiritual sense. But only found a few ground marks and a sword."

"I was going to leave the sword to the disciples to take back, I didn't think that would happen" She continued without caring that she made a mistake.

"You seem, unconcerned about this. Could it be that you had already fished that talent out of here?" Old Yin said, squinting his eyes at her.

"You're doubting me?" A cold look surface on Senior Fang's face as she looked at Old Yin.

"Then what were you doing here exactly?"

"I'm also curious about that fairy Fang" Senior Shan said with a wide grin on his face.

The others stayed silent, but they had the same exact thought's as him. Everybody scrutinized senior Fang.

Senior Fang seemed to know that there was no way for her to run away from this. She looked at everyone's face for a moment. She sighed, and said.

"My disciple said she found a junior with the Sword Communication ability"

As soon as they heard that, they're eyes went wide. Senior Shan in particular stood up and laughed.

"Hahahah!, That's great news!. Then I shall take him in!"

"Humph, what gives you the right to take him?" Senior Nian said with a scoff.

"I believe the serenity sect can nurture him to great heights" Senior Bing finally spoke.

Old Yin and Old Ming just stayed silent as they argued with each other.

"Do you think your sects can nurture him like my sect can?, It's clear that my sect can do better, and I found him first so he's mine for the taking" Senior Fang said with an unquestionable tone.

"hehe, Don't you think that's a little bit unreasonable fairy fang?, your sect already has one you know" Old Yin spoke.

The others nodded at his words. Just as things were about to get ugly, Old Ming chimed in to settle them down.

"I believe we should just let him choose for himself, what do you think?"

The seniors looked at each other and agreed, that would be the most fair.

"well then, where is this junior we were talking about?"

"Yuan'er, come here" Senior Fang called for her disciple.

As soon as she said that Yan Yuan appeared in a flash in front of them.

"Greetings, Seniors!"

The seniors nodded and she walked behind Senior Fang.

"Nephew Yan could you tell us where this junior with the sword communication ability is?" Old Ming asked her.

"Yes senior, He just now joined the competition" Yan Yuan said and pointed at Li Pingjun.

All of the seniors scrutinized him, he looked plain and unremarkable. They did not care for his low cultivation base, since with his sword talent, it would be worth it to use a few precious pills to fix that.

When Zhan Hua looked at Li Pingjun, she was surprised. It was the man she had met before in that place where she had lost her eligibility to get married. She clenched her teeth unconsciously as she remembered a bad memory.

Senior Fang also had Vietn*m flash backs as she looked at Li Pingjun.

'It's the person that was taking a sh*t!' When she swept the surroundings with her spiritual sense after hearing that roar, she had seen a man taking sh*t. A hundred years would not be enough to cleanse her eyes from what she had seen.

"Is that truly him?" Old Yin said with doubt.

"What is that bundle behind him?" Senior Nian said.

"I believe, that should be his sword, I don't know why he's hiding it though" Yan Yuan said uncaringly.

As soon as the seniors heard that they're eyes turned sharp, and their spiritual sense immediately shot forth to check that sword. their spiritual sense went through the cloth easily.

"Hua'er what does the sword that was found in the forest looked like?" Old Ming asked Zhan Hua.

Zhan Hua was about to say something, but Senior Fang beat her to it.

"It's not the same sword, the sword in the woods looked like a normal sword. That sword looks like an ornamental sword" If Li Pingjun were to hear this, he would've been confused. Senior Fang locked away the memory of him taking sh*t.

The seniors looked at Zhan Hua for confirmation. Under their gazes there's no way she could lie.

"Yes, Junior sister Chen said that the sword looked very unassuming"

After hearing that, they could not help but sigh in disappointment.

"Hahah, of course there's no way someone could have the sword communication ability and possibly the bloodline of a holy beast" Senior Shan said with confidence.

The others agreed with him. Yan Yuan had a confused look on her face, but before she could say anything. A blood curling scream came from the direction of the competition.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH"

Everyone looked in the direction where the scream came from, even the participants battling could not help but be distracted. Beside the platforms, Li Pingjun screamed and clutched his right eye.

"Ugh, Has the Abyss Dragon of doom in my right eye awakened?!"

'Abyss Dragon of Doom!?' Everyone had this thought, even the seniors was dumbfounded, but soon after they were confused.

From what they could see, his eyes was normal, his body was normal and even the spiritual energy inside his body was normal. There's clearly nothing awakening in his eyes!.

Li Pingjun kept screaming as if in pain, just as the elders was about to help him. He seemed to notice something in front of him and he smiled, after that he stopped. He noticed everyone was looking at him and he promptly bowed to everyone.

"I'm truly sorry fellow Daoist's and seniors, I was merely hyping myself up for the upcoming battle" Li Pingjun said with an apologetic smile on his face.

'This.....' nobody knew what to say.

The senior's eyes twitched nonstop, Old Yin said with a doubtful tone.

"Does he truly has the sword communication ability?"

Yan Yuan was not able to answer him.
