At that time, Taichu Academy was busy planning the Sect Hierarchy Ranking Tournament and handling a series of related affairs, leaving no one with the spare time to keep an eye on Yekong.
To Taichu Academy, the Sect Hierarchy Ranking Tournament was not merely a battle of strength or a test of skill; it was a statement of the academy’s status and a demonstration of the prestige it held as the undisputed top sect in the world. The entire academy was abuzz with preparations, from setting up the arenas and stages to arranging accommodations and reception halls for all the sects. The complexity of the task was comparable to organizing a massive event for the entire Upper Realm. Furthermore, as the host for the first time, World Honored Sima found himself feeling uncharacteristically nervous.
Soon, after a period of intense preparation, the biennial Sect Hierarchy Ranking Tournament officially kicked off at the world’s leading sect, Taichu Academy. The event was grand, drawing every prominent figure from across the Upper Realm. Naturally, they had to be there; they were all hoping for a chance to defeat Taichu Academy and claim the title of the top sect for themselves. Besides Taichu Academy, numerous independent factions like Changqing Academy, the Wu Family Fortress, and Lefeng Mountain had sent representatives to participate. The entire academy was packed with people from the foot of the mountain to the peak.
