The next day, the weather was clear, and the sunlight was perfect.
Baili Hongzhuang and the others got up early. Today was the day to compete for the slots, and they were well-prepared.
After Emperor Beichen saw that everyone was ready, he immediately smiled and said, "Let's set off together to the assessment formation."
Everyone nodded and followed behind Emperor Beichen, walking towards the direction of the assessment formation.
Along the way, many cultivators showed surprise when they saw Baili Hongzhuang and the others.
Initially, they didn't know why this group of unfamiliar cultivators had come to the Tian Gang Sect, but now that they saw the Junior Sect Master leading them towards the assessment formation, they understood.
So, these cultivators all wanted to participate in the assessment competition.
"I heard that Han Shijie had another conflict with Baili Hongzhuang yesterday."
"Now it seems that the Junior Sect Master really favors Baili Hongzhuang. Han Shijie's position has completely diminished."
"That's right. Haven't you noticed that Han Shijie has rarely appeared in front of us recently? It's all because of this incident that she doesn't want to show her face."
The gaze of the crowd locked onto Baili Hongzhuang and the others. During this period, Baili Hongzhuang had become the center of their attention.
Han Xiling had been guarding Emperor Beichen for so many years, but Emperor Beichen's heart was completely focused on Baili Hongzhuang.
Whether it was due to envy or other reasons, they couldn't help but pay attention to Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang walked calmly beside Emperor Beichen. All the comments and rumors would dissipate once she returned from the assessment competition.
Before long, Baili Hongzhuang and the others arrived at the location of the assessment formation.
At a glance, they could see that the area around the assessment formation was filled with cultivators. However, the majority of them were just here to spectate. There were only about twenty cultivators who were actually participating in the assessment.
According to Emperor Beichen's introduction, these cultivators were recommended by some influential figures within the Tian Gang Sect.
In fact, the cultivators who entered the assessment competition through the sect had a higher status in the competition. They were the true outstanding contestants.
Han Xiling had arrived near the assessment formation early on. Since Baili Hongzhuang had declared that she would participate in the assessment competition, Han Xiling was determined to challenge her.
She was curious to see what would happen if Baili Hongzhuang couldn't even qualify for the competition. That would truly be a joke.
Inside the meeting hall that day, Baili Hongzhuang spoke very clearly.
Therefore, not only Han Xiling, but even the Elder and the Four Hall Masters had also come.
The cultivators who had originally come to spectate became even more curious when they saw the Elder and the Four Hall Masters gathered here.
When they saw Baili Hongzhuang's appearance, Han Xiling's gaze fixed on her, clearly showing coldness and resentment.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced past Han Xiling's face and then stopped paying attention. She was amazed by Han Xiling's persistence.
"Junior Sect Master!" The people greeted Emperor Beichen and bowed.
Emperor Beichen nodded his head. With his handsome and god-like face exuding majesty, his gaze fell on the group of cultivators who were ready to be assessed.
"Today is the day to compete for the qualification to participate. I hope everyone will perform well and represent the Tian Gang Sect in the assessment competition!"
The cultivators waiting to be assessed were filled with high spirits after hearing Emperor Beichen's words and responded, "We will not disappoint the Junior Sect Master!"
