Within the town of Machen, Inside of the central square.

The members of the Feng Clan calmly observed the screen before them as they looked at the figure who remained seated in a crossed-legged posture waiting for the battle of chosens to begin.

Feng Yunlong, Feng Junling, and Feng Xingyu were currently discussing matters amongst themselves.

"Are you certain Eldest Brother?" Feng Xingyu asked as she looked at Feng Junling with a severe expression.

Feng Yunlong also looked at Feng Junling with a pensive expression as the mood between the three of them became a solemn one.

"That's right! While I'm not certain for sure regarding the methods used by this divine prophet, I have a hunch regarding the energies used when summoning the Ascending Dragon Platform," Feng Junling replied with certainty.

He looked towards the beautiful white-robed woman that stood between the strange men and women on the platform and recalled the scene of her snapping her fingers causing the Ascending Dragon Platform to rise from its slumber.

"Hmm, Junling, if what you speculate is true. Wouldn't this mean that she is related to them?" Feng Yunlong stated as he looked at Feng Junling.

"It's best not to draw our conclusions too early. Maybe, it's nothing more than a coincidence..." Feng Junling then replied with a pondering expression but soon he cleared his thoughts and spoke once again but this time through voice transmission.

"Also, I am feeling a rather strange presence within the central square, I don't know what or who it is? However, we should exercise a bit of caution..." Feng Junling said.

Hearing his elder brother's words Feng Yunlong was surprised, he promptly spread his spiritual sense about the square but found nothing unusual. Still, he did not show any confused expression on his face as he calmly replied, "I do not sense anything out of the ordinary, but I will have them keep on alert!"

Upon saying this, he looked towards his attendant with the crimson mask who stood silently by his side and nodded.

Sou! The crimson-masked man vanished as went towards the Feng Mansion at full speed.

The woman in the white robes seated on the platform observing the screen smiled as she looked on the platform with a slight amount of reminiscence visible in her eyes.

However, the melancholic atmosphere soon faded as she looked towards her attendant and spoke, "The Chosen Wars will soon begin, are the preparations complete," She asked in a soft voice.

"Reporting to the Young Lady! All preparations have been completed," One of the individuals dressed in white said.

"Good!" She said as he focused her gaze back on the screen with a slightly excited light shining deep within her eyes.

The Sky Splitting Sword School elders seeing this sighed slightly as they looked on in reverence.

Xuan Lie frowned as he saw this scene, he looked around the central square at the various influences and saw that a few of them had individuals that were missing. Feeling something was off he whispered something to Fei Tan who then left the platform.

"Dear, is there a problem?" Madam Xuan who was standing beside Xuan Lie asked.

"Em. It appears that this 'Chosen War' may be the prelude to what we seek," Xuan Lie replied as a determined look appeared on his face.

The man from the Midnight Temple smiled with a strange light in his eyes, he then swept his gaze towards the Southern Wasteland Group, the Golden Dragon Empire's Group and the group at the side of the female Prophet.

As the major influences started to make their moves, the spectating practitioners observed the screen in glee.

"Did you see that? How those guys treated the pressure as if it was nothing but air? These youngsters certainly are the top amongst their generation," An individual said in excitement.

"Not necessarily, this was a trial that tests willpower, not strength. It won't be guaranteed that these kids could perform the same in actual combat," A different individual said.

"Hmm, so that's the reason. No wonder that youngster from the Feng Clan could keep up with those top characters. It seems that while he's a troublemaker, his strength of will is quite good." Another said.

Xiang Tian who was looking at the screen at his son Xiang Shu frowned when he overheard the groups conversation, "Could he truly be just a simple troublemaker? Or has ascended to a new level of strength hiding his true power as Xiang Shu did?" He thought to himself.

The Townlord and his Wife were also discussing amongst themselves regarding the unusualness of the Feng Clan and Xiang Clan's son.

"Dear, don't you think it strange of the performances shown by both kids from these two clans? When did the Xiang Clan have another Xiang Fang? And Why is the Feng Clan child said to be troublemaker displaying such incredible ability?" His wife asked.

"..." The Townlord looked at the two figures on the screen and frowned slightly not bothering to reply to his wife's questions..........
