The next day, upon the break of dawn and as the sun rose, the entire Tianwu Clan was bustling with excitement.

At the front of the outer hall, excited martial artists gathered in the spacious courtyard.

With a crowd of almost a thousand people, the spacious courtyard suddenly seemed congested.

At the front of the courtyard, a space was intentionally left empty. In that space, there was a row of wooden chairs. This space was made especially for the four Heaven- Level clan leaders and the high ranking individuals of the clan.

There was also an empty space in front of the row of wooden chairs.

That was where the 20 lucky people who would enter the secret area of Xuan Valley would gather.

Although it was early, there were already people gathered at the square.

After about a quarter of an hour, there were more people at the square.

More than half of the 20 were already at the square.

With half an hour left until the opening of the secret area, 19 out of the 20 people had arrived, except for one, which was Fade.

The situation caused Halston and Kelsey, who were in the crowd, to worry. They couldn't help but turn in the direction of the mountain.

"Fade won't actually miss this, right?" Halston immediately felt a pang of worry for him in his heart.

After about 10 minutes, Fade was still nowhere to be seen.

Halston then looked to the side of Wushuang Tower. He almost couldn't help himself but inform Kinsley about this incident.

At this moment, a few panting figures ran over in a hurry.

After taking a closer look, the people discovered that they were Kaegan, Pluto, and Kelly.

Upon seeing this, Halston rushed over and asked, "What happened? Has Fade appeared yet?"

They shook their heads while looking anxious.

"We've been waiting outside for two whole hours, but there hasn't been any movement."

"We shouted, transmitted our positive energy, and even launched a small attack on the cabin, but it was all useless." "How could this be?" Halston had gotten anxious. "The secret area of the Xuan Valley is about to open, and if he doesn't come now, I fear that it will be too late."

"Th-This..." They too were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Pluto bit his lip and said, "I'll find my uncle and inform him about this, acquire his assistance, and see if there's another way."

"That's the only thing we can do now." Halston let out a long sigh.

However, right at this moment, the scene had turned silent.

Everyone turned their heads to the front of the courtyard.

Halston and the rest anxiously looked to the front too.

Upon seeing the current situation, all the talking halted and they respectfully stayed in their places.

It was because the four Heaven-Level Clan Leaders had appeared together.

The four great Heaven-Level Clans were at the pinnacle in terms of cultivation. However, being able to become the clan leaders was already the peak of existence amongst the martial artists. Their combat power was between the peak stage of the Heaven Level and the Half-Lord Level.

As to whether they had already reached the Half-Lord Level, it was a mystery. After all, they had already reached a level of excellence, of course, so it was understandable for them to not disclose their strengths and cultivation.

However, regardless of whether they were at the peak stage of the Heaven Level or HalfLord Level, one could not simply just provoke them.

The first person who stepped forward was a man in his sixties or seventies, wearing a gorgeous robe, with a strong and muscular body as well as a stern face.

With just one look, he was able to put certain pressure on people. It was as if they were graced upon by the presence of a deity.

Needless to say, this person was the clan leader of Juetong Temple, Master Jiles.

After entering the hall, Master Jiles glanced across the crowd, honored the gods, and took the seat on the far-most left side along the row of chairs.

After him, the second person to enter was a woman.

She wore a long, dark blue dress, with long hair and a gentle and delicate face which instantly lit up the eyes of the people.

Many of the disciples in the courtyard couldn't help but stare.

"She's so beautiful. Is she a disciple of Lindsay Hall?"

"Nonsense! That's the clan leader of Lindsay Hall, Sanne Chan, Master Chan."

"What, she is the one known as the Sunset Fairy, Master Chan, who is Sanne Chan? She looks so young, like she's in her thirties." "Master Chan is already in her sixties. As for her complexion, it's just basic skincare. Being natural is definitely not a problem."

The Sunset Fairy seemed quite

gentle. She not only didn't dismiss the discussions in the courtyard but instead waved and greeted everyone, then moved on to the most right side of the row of chairs.

After her was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe. With a long sword in his hands, his face was fair and clean, and his aura was graceful. He gave off the impression of a scholar and swordsman from ancient times.

Upon seeing this man enter, Pluto couldn't help but become excited. He held himself back from running forward.

That was because that man was his uncle, the clan leader of Wushuang Tower, Kinsley Zou.

The corners of Kinsley's mouth curled into a smile. He waved at everyone and then sat down next to Sanne.

Out of the four seats, there was only one left.

There was no need to guess, as it was meant for the clan leader of the Tianwu Clan, Gotzel Tuan.

Gotzel was dressed in black. With his hands behind his back and a dignified expression on his face, he paced back and forth and sat down in the last seat in an imposing manner.

After glancing at the crowd below, Gotzel said, "It's about time. Everyone is here, right?"

Upon hearing this, Halston opened his mouth, wanting to explain about Fade.

However, before he could speak, Algot, who was at the side, took the lead to speak. "Dear all clan leaders, out of the 20 of us, there's one person who is still not present." "Who might that one person be? Gotzel asked upon frowning.

With a flash of hatred, Algot said, "Fade Chen."

"Fade?" Upon hearing this name, Gotzel's eyes sank. "The secular martial artist?"

"Yes, that's him, Clan Leader," Algot replied.

"This is ridiculous. A mere secular martial artist and yet, he dares to pull such a stunt and make us wait for his arrival?" Gotzel said in a displeased manner.

Halston wanted to explain, but he earned a glare from Wagner who said in a strict tone, "Don't make a sound and no ridiculous words."

"Senior brother Wagner, I..." Halston tried to explain.

Wagner, who was beside him, glared

at him and shorted coldly. "Halston, it's alright for you to interact with that kind of person normally, but today, in front of everyone herezat the courtyard, don't speak any nonsense so as to not provoke the clan leaders."

This time, Halston had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

At the side, Pluto's expression changed. He knew that the situation was not right, so he had to speak up.

Gritting his teeth, he took a step forward. Looking at the four clan leaders, he spoke in a loud and clear voice.

"Dear clan leaders, three days ago, Fade managed to unlock the array of the cabin. Hence, after entering it, he has been cultivating in seclusion."

"Perhaps he has fallen too deep into the cultivation and forgot about the time, therefore causing a delay."
