Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility

"No need to wait for him. Five of the Seven Gentlemen of Canghai are here, along with the Tuoba brothers, Tuoba Long and Tuoba Zhan, plus skilled fighters like Tan Tai Hong from the mid-tier of the Qianlong List. Our Canghai Academy fears no one," said Dean Bei You calmly.

"And us!" shouted three hundred late-stage Innate Martial King elders from the outer institute in unison.

"Yes!" Zhuge Jin, Tuoba Long, and others nodded excitedly.

The people of Canghai Academy gathered together and entered the ruins, disappearing from sight.

The people from Tianshen Academy also stood up, led by Lin Daoxuan, who was third on the Qianlong List, followed by over a thousand inner institute students and elders, almost all of them rushing towards the ruins.

A cold glint flashed in Yao Chen's eyes as he soared into the sky like an eagle, flying into the ruins.

"Our Flowing Cloud Sect's combat power is second only to the four major three-star forces. Besides guarding against them, we must also be wary of three old monsters," the sect master of Flowing Cloud Sect warned his disciples.

"They are the Mountain Old Monster, the White-Browed Sword King, and the Red Fire King. These three are veteran Innate Martial Kings, not listed on the Qianlong List due to their age, but their combat power is no less than the top five on the list."

"Remember the sect master's teachings!" the disciples of Flowing Cloud Sect shouted in unison.

"Go!"

"Yes!" The people of Flowing Cloud Sect flew towards the ruins.
