The elimination of the younger generation of disciples from the major powers of the Central Domain Human Race from the competition drastically changed the expressions of the Central Domain Human Race members present at the Jade Flower Immortal Sect.

They had invested heavily in this Spiritual Peach Banquet. They had spared no effort cultivating those talented disciples, all in the hope that they would distinguish themselves at the Spiritual Peach Banquet.

But what now? Their highly esteemed Celestial Pride disciples had all been eliminated?

At first, everyone had assumed the trial was over and joyfully watched their disciples. However, as these disciples began to voice their complaints, the expressions of the elders from the major powers turned unsightly.

"Damn that Profound Yellow Sect! You actually ambushed our Eternal Night Immortal Sect!"

"Our Haoran Academy had already occupied a large area of Sunset Forest! If it weren't for the Profound Yellow Sect's appearance, how could we have been forced out early?"

"The Profound Yellow Sect must give us an explanation, or this matter won't be over!"

"Just because you're strong, you think you can act recklessly? The Profound Yellow Sect are unworthy of being called Human Race cultivators; they truly bring shame upon our entire race!"

Listening to these disciples' curses, the major powers all directed their accusations toward the Profound Yellow Sect.

Xu Nian stood calmly in place, a faint smile playing on his lips.

A Great Confucian Scholar from Haoran Academy stepped forward, his beard bristling as he demanded, "Sect Leader Xu, don't you think you owe us an explanation for this?"

As he spoke, representatives from the other Central Domain powers also gathered around. Their long-prepared plans had been ruined by the Profound Yellow Sect. If this matter wasn't clarified, it would be a major disgrace for all of them.

Listening to their questions, Xu Nian frowned slightly and said, "An explanation? Shouldn't you esteemed members of the Central Domain first clarify the situation with the tokens and Sunset Forest?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Central Domain Human Race and the other Major Races changed dramatically. Only they knew about the token scores. While cultivators from Other Realms might have some awareness, they certainly wouldn't bring the matter out into the open. After all, this was an agreement between the Central Domain Human Race and the Major Races, and there was no need to offend all the other races and powers over it.

But now? The Profound Yellow Sect wanted to drag this issue into the open, which was quite troublesome. Although the Central Domain Human Race was powerful, they weren't the sole spokespeople for the entire Human Race. Moreover, they were clearly in the wrong on this matter!

"Sect Leader Xu, what do you mean by that?" the Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect asked, his expression grim, as if he had already guessed something.

Apart from the Central Domain Human Race, those from Other Realms were still in the dark about the token scores.

Xu Nian glanced at the Great Confucian Scholar from Haoran Academy and sneered. "It's quite simple. For this Spiritual Peach Banquet, the Central Domain Human Race and the other Major Races had already pre-arranged the qualifying slots. We cultivators from other lands never even had a chance to enter the Top 100. The tokens don't just allow teleportation; they also calculate scores based on the demonic creatures slain by disciples. Only the Top 100 with the highest scores qualify as winners. Even if our disciples were to survive until the very end, they still wouldn't be able to enter the Top 100. To put it bluntly, the Central Domain Human Race considers themselves superior. They believe the Spiritual Peach Reward should go to their disciples, deeming it a complete waste to give it to ours. They never intended for us to win from the very beginning."

Hearing this, the expressions of the cultivators from the previously unaware powers immediately darkened.

So that's how it was! No wonder the Central Domain Human Race and the Major Races all headed to Sunset Forest. They had planned all along to kill snakes, insects, rats, and ants there to accumulate scores. They had kept this secret all along, never intending to reveal it. So, after their own disciples were forced out by the Profound Yellow Sect's disciples, they were now trying to blame them first?

"People of the Central Domain—no, more accurately, people of the Jade Flower Immortal Sect! Since you had already fixed the placements, why bother inviting us at all?"

The Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect said coldly, "Do you all merely enjoy mocking others, inviting us here just for your amusement? Do you really think the Central Domain holds such an exalted status within the Human Race that our cultivators from the Southern Continent, West Ridge, and Northern Wilderness aren't even worthy of comparison?"

"Exactly! We came all this way. What exactly does the Central Domain mean by this?"

"Don't feed us that nonsense about it being for the sake of the Human Race! If it truly were for the Human Race, why weren't we informed about such a critical matter?"

"Do you people from the Central Domain even deserve to call yourselves part of the Human Race? Truly contemptible!"

"If you don't give us an explanation, then from this day forward, the cultivators from West Ridge will go their own way! We will operate under the name of the West Ridge Human Race. You look down on us, and we look down on you!"

In an instant, the major powers of the Central Domain found themselves under collective attack.

However, Major Races like the Sea Race and the Demon Race seemed delighted to watch the drama unfold from the sidelines. In their view, infighting among the Human Race was quite common; indeed, many humans had engaged in such conflicts over the years. The rapid growth of the Sea Race and the Demon Race was precisely due to the Human Race's penchant for internal conflict, which gave them the time and opportunity to strengthen themselves.

It would be best if a full-blown fight broke out now, one that even dragged in the Profound Yellow Sect. Once the Human Race started fighting amongst themselves, wouldn't we, the Sea Race and Demon Race, have even more opportunities? As long as the members of the Profound Yellow Sect were all killed, then in our eyes, the Human Race would be utterly devoid of any chance to recover.

The leaders of the Central Domain's major powers all wore grim expressions. In their eyes, there was indeed no need to reveal such matters. How could Human Race cultivators from other regions possibly compare to those from the Central Domain?
