Witnessing this scene, the expressions of Bai Li Hongzhuang and her companions underwent some changes.
"What the heck, are they afraid of us?" Xia Zhiqing stared blankly at Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others, doubting whether she had misheard earlier.
Bai Junyu nodded slightly, "That's right, they are indeed afraid of us."
In an instant, a smug smile appeared on Xia Zhiqing's face.
"Throughout this journey, we have always been worried about the strength of our opponents. And now, even other cultivators fear us. Isn't this a significant breakthrough?"
Hearing Xia Zhiqing's words, Dongfang Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "If you think so, then it is."
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips. She found the current situation quite amusing.
"I never expected the cultivators from the Qinglin Dynasty to have such capabilities. It seems that we won't encounter any trouble on our way to the finish line."
It was evident to everyone that they had earned such fearful expressions from others because they had slain cultivators from the Qinglin Dynasty. Such a situation had never occurred before.
"Our journey ahead will be smooth," Mo Yunjue said with a smile.
Facing the fearful looks from other cultivators, Bai Li Hongzhuang and her companions remained unfazed.
In fact, only the strong could enjoy such attention.
From initially trembling with fear during the assessment competition to now being fearless and openly acknowledged, they had truly made tremendous progress.
At this moment, the three contracted beasts, Little Black, Little White, and the White Lion, were leading the way behind them, attracting much attention as the six little creatures walked together.
Time flew by, and with the improvement in Bai Li Hongzhuang's group's strength, no other cultivators dared to provoke them anymore.
In such a situation, everyone felt that time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the day before the assessment competition would end.
The Central City.
When Bai Li Hongzhuang and her companions arrived at the Central City, they were greeted by a massive crowd.
The area of this Central City was several times larger than any city they had seen before. Despite the immense crowd, there was still enough space for everyone to reside.
This was the place where the assessment competition would conclude.
Tomorrow would mark the end of the assessment competition.
On the day before the assessment competition would end, the cultivators in the Central City had different expressions—some were joyful, while others were worried.
They had left their hometowns two years ago in order to achieve good results in the assessment competition and become members of their sects.
Cultivators with sufficiently high points were naturally extremely happy because their two years of hard work would finally yield the desired outcome.
However, those with low points were deeply worried. They had arrived with high spirits, but now they were returning to the dynasty in disappointment.
The thought of it made them even more sorrowful.
As for the cultivators with average points, they were seizing the last day's time to plunder points. As long as they could acquire enough points today, they still had a chance at some success.
When Bai Li Hongzhuang and her group entered the Central City, all eyes fell upon them, observing their every move.
Eight cultivators and six contracted beasts—this alone made them stand out and unforgettable.
In the eyes of the other cultivators, the team from the Tian Gang Dynasty could be considered the legends of this assessment competition, surprising everyone throughout their journey.
