The team competition had ended, and with it, the day's events drew to a close.
The individual competition would be held the following day.
Xu Ping'an and the others returned to their quarters, with Zhao Kai, Long Yan, and the rest still basking in excitement.
"Ping'an, younger brother, you didn't see the faces of the Yudao Sect, Tyrant Heavenly Sect, and Li Huo Sect—they were all green with envy. Their expressions were truly priceless," Long Yan said with exhilaration.
"Yeah, not just their disciples, but even their elders' faces were green. Haha," Zhao Kai laughed heartily.
Xu Ping'an gave a small smile, feeling a sense of joy he hadn't felt in a long time.
He hadn't felt this happy for quite a while.
In his past life, though he had become the Immortal Emperor, in truth, he was very lonely.
Opportunities like today, to fight shoulder to shoulder, occurred only a very long time ago.
Is it that the higher one's cultivation, the lonelier they become?
