When Chen Yao returned to the sword faction, the large square in front of the sword faction's mountain gate was still filled with people.

The Sword Faction's upper echelons, led by their Sect Master Luo Tian, stood on the high platform.

Luo Tian fell at the front of the camp of janitor disciples.

This was because in this Sword Ranking Competition, although the service disciples also had the qualifications to participate in the martial competition, everyone could clearly recognize the reality of the situation. Besides Chen Yao, no one else should be able to enter the Sword Ranking.

If Chen Yao missed the battle for the sword ranking because he was cultivating behind closed doors, then all the service disciples would have been annihilated.

The sword faction had just reformed and now all the service disciples had been wiped out. It was truly disgraceful.

Chen Yao nodded to the service disciples, giving them a reassured look.

Luo Tian also saw Chen Yao's voice and felt relieved.

The ceremony to open the sword ranking could now begin.

"Everyone, my sword faction's situation is weak every year. As the sword faction's head, I deeply blame myself. In order to motivate the disciples to work hard in cultivating, my sword faction made some reforms not long ago. Today, the sword ranking competition will be held."

The top six disciples can obtain a Demon Sealing Token and gain the qualifications to enter the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield. But, even if someone can obtain the top six, they can only receive the sword faction's reward if their cultivation exceeds the Emperor Realm. They cannot obtain a Demon Sealing Token, and their qualifications to enter the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield can be extended up to the seventh place.

"But for this sword ranking competition, the first place will temporarily not be held. The top six disciples don't need to compete in martial arts; these six disciples will all go to the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield, and whoever can obtain the most good fortune will obtain the most benefits for my sword faction. They will become the top ranked sword ranking, and in addition, their title will be called the sword faction's top disciple."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"A mysterious reward?" Luo Tian did not say what the reward was, and that only made it more obvious that the first place on the sword ranking received quite a bit of reward. Although the powers of the sword faction had fallen, it was still an ancient sect that had been passed down for a thousand years.

Furthermore, he could even receive the title of the Sword Faction's chief disciple and become the Sword Faction's chief disciple. That would be the leader of all the Sword Faction disciples. How great of an honor was this?

Everyone felt their hearts heat up, but they quickly cooled down. The sword faction disciples originally had a lot of amazing talents, wanting to stand out in the sword faction was very easy.

Moreover, after obtaining the top six and entering the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield, the great sects, clans, and families would all be filled with talents. Moreover, the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield was filled with great dangers. Whether or not one could come out alive was a very big problem. If one didn't have an extremely strong strength, then entering the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield would be no different than suicide.

The greater the reward from Luo Tian, the greater the danger.

Luo Tian pondered for a moment before continuing.

Recently, a large group of Corpse Monsters appeared in Broken Sword City. They are bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty, and many commoners suffered the hands of the Corpse Monsters, although the Divine Radiant Empire has sent out heavy soldiers to suppress them, the Corpse Monsters are extremely difficult to deal with, so the army of the Divine Radiant Empire can only retreat bit by bit, and can only surround the Broken Sword City and not continue to expand the scope of the Corpse Monsters. Then, we will need to send people to enter the Broken Sword City to kill the corpses.

"Therefore, the examination venue for this year's sword ranking assessment is in Broken Sword City."

"Corpse Monsters' lifeforms are the corpse cores in their heads. As long as the corpse cores leave the body, they will immediately turn into ashes, so the top 50 ranks on the sword ranking will be decided by who obtains the more corpse cores."

"The top ten who obtain the most corpse cores will have a public match to fight for the top six."

"The Corpse Monsters have no reason to know about the pain and only know how to slaughter. Moreover, their self-recovery ability is extremely amazing, and their strength is at least at the Qi realm, so in this battle selection, there is no need for the disciples under the Qi realm to participate. The disciples under the Qi realm can participate voluntarily, and the disciples at the Spirit realm, including those above the Spirit realm, must all participate.

The sword faction disciples needed to fight in actual combat.

Although killing a Corpse Demon this time was extremely dangerous, it was still an extremely important opportunity for the Sword Faction disciples. Moreover, if they entered the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield, then the risks they would encounter would be far greater than this corpse tide.

What the Sword Faction disciples needed the most right now was a strong heart that would not back down. Otherwise, with a body full of cultivation, it would be useless.

This also meant that the sword faction had completely gone all out, changing from the previous attitude of constantly enduring when something happened.

Chen Yao turned around and looked at the service disciples behind him.

Among the many disciples of the sword faction, only the service disciples had cultivations below the Mortal Realm.

The number of service disciples was the largest, close to one hundred thousand, which was ten times more than the other disciples combined. However, there were only a little more than one hundred disciples above the Mortal Realm.

Moreover, these hundred people had only just advanced to the Qi warrior stage.

Corpse Monsters did not know pain, moreover, their recovery abilities were extremely strong, even more terrifying than demon beasts of the same level. Therefore, Chen Yao did not want his service disciples to die.

So he said, "Disciples, I do not wish for everyone to be brave and make unnecessary sacrifices, so I hope that everyone will listen to the sect's arrangements and stay behind in the sword faction, this is also an opportunity for you to contribute your own strength, right now you all need to work hard in cultivation, and not give up your lives for nothing. Sword Sect reform, it is indeed not easy for service disciples to obtain cultivation resources, I hope that everyone will cherish this opportunity, this time going to Broken Sword City, I have decided to bring three people to participate, the rest of you will stay behind the sword faction unconditionally."

Chen Yao also had his own considerations.

If he left all the service disciples behind, it would be very inappropriate. At least he could nurture a few managers, but he couldn't stay in the sword faction's service peak forever. He had to nurture a few capable people to help him teach these service disciples.

With his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to bring three people to the Broken Sword City and protect them. This way, he could cultivate three trusted aides who had experienced true slaughter.

"Yes."

All the service disciples obeyed in unison, without any conditions.

This made Luo Tian very satisfied. It seemed that these service disciples were completely subdued by Chen Yao. That is to say, if he fought with the Liu Family, these service disciples would become his strength.

Liu Hai, on the other hand, had a very serious expression on his face. He didn't expect these service disciples to be so convinced of Chen Yao's sincerity.

Chen Yao was no longer the same as before. He now possessed an extremely large number of armed forces.

Nearly a hundred thousand Sword Cultivator disciples at the Qi Disciple level, if placed in the Divine Radiant Empire, would be considered as having the power of a powerful general and not much less than a prince of the opposite sex.

No, they absolutely could not let Chen Yao grow up again. Otherwise, the Liu Family would no longer be a match for Chen Yao.

For this trip to Broken Sword City, he had to think of a way to keep Chen Yao here.

"..."

Because the corpse tide outbreak was very sudden, so the sword faction's direct disciples had already gone to Broken Sword City to suppress the Corpse Monsters.

He originally thought that the direct disciples would be enough to deal with the Corpse Monsters.

However, the number of Corpse Monsters increased sharply, already exceeding ten thousand. The number of direct disciples added up to less than three hundred people, it was impossible to kill ten thousand Corpse Monsters, so they hurried to the sect for help.

As a result, the sword faction hurriedly changed the rules of the competition, killing two birds with one stone.

But like this, the Sword Faction disciple's safety would be greatly neglected and there would definitely be a bloodshed. But as a cultivator, he should understand the law of the jungle, and the flowers in the greenhouse would never have a future.

Only by experiencing the baptism of blood would they truly become strong.

There were originally ten thousand outer court disciples, and most of them were in the Qi realm, leaving behind three thousand people to defend the sword sect and send out seven thousand people. Amongst the service disciples, Chen Yao was leading Jiang Sheng, who had already reached the fifth level of the Qi realm, and two disciples of the second level, He Yuan and Wang Tian.

Under the lead of a few King's Realm experts, a total of more than eight thousand people rode the eight Sword Sect transport magic tool, Jianchuan, to the Broken Sword City in a grandiose manner.

After the sword faction had endured for twenty years, this would be the first time the sword faction entered society. It was bound to have the elegant demeanor of the sword faction and let the other sects know that the sword faction's strength was still strong.
