"No, I don't belong to any sect; I'm a lone cultivator!" Wu Chunjiang heard the words "Tianyuan Sect" and his face immediately stiffened. Without thinking, he denied it outright.
As a matter of fact,
Li Zhongnan's guess was correct; he was indeed from the Tianyuan Sect!
However, before the martial arts selection ended, he couldn't reveal his identity. One reason was to prevent Tierra from knowing their identities and then using the rules of the selection to arrange strong opponents to eliminate them before reaching the top ten.
Another reason was, although the Tianyuan Sect was set on securing the top ten spots in the selection, they couldn't guarantee a clean sweep.
Once their identities were exposed, even if they secured nine out of ten spots, the trip to New York City would likely be in vain.
The elder leading the group
had already issued an order to keep a low profile!
