Chapter 157
After entering Qinan City, I saw that the city was lined with houses and shops, the streets were crowded with traffic, crowded with people everywhere, and prosperous, so I really deserved the title of the largest city in the east.
Shang Chenxi and his party came directly to a business in the city. After a little settled, Hua Lanting and seven others were taken into a room.
Lu Duanshao, the first deputy head of Tiangang Hall of Zizai Wanxiangmen, and Shuluntai, on Tianji Peak, have been waiting here for a long time.
The two of them had just finished lunch and saw seven disciples. Lu Duanyao, who had red hair, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, stood up, smiled, and said in his voice that shocked the roof, "Haha, boys are here, it's great, very good. The Lord of the Palace sees your performance in Haitang City, which is beyond my expectations."
"You actually used five people to fill the three mountains and moon realm, which has set a record for this sect. When the Lord of the Palace returns to ask for me for me."
Lu Duan Shao and Shuluntai were secretly following the merchant convoy during this trip. When they were trapped in the Yanlu Formation that day, Lu Duan Shao had already planned to attack the formation host at the appropriate time, but of course there was no need for this in the end.
Later, outside Haitang City, it was Lu Duanshao who had entered the Seven Star Beidou Realm that had just entered the Seven Stars Beidou Realm that released a powerful aura, shocking Fan Lihua and ensuring that everyone left safely.
Lu Duan Shao continued, "From today, the Lord of the Palace will take over you. Let's strive to Yangwei Qi Nancheng. Another division commander of Tiangang Palace leads the substitute reserve team to stay elsewhere. I'm going to discuss some things with Mr. Shang. You have dinner first. In the afternoon, we will go to Ziyue Immortal Sect to report to the competition."
"The rice is ready for you. The staple food is a famous rice noodle snack in the city. Haha, the name is Qi Nan Brain-Dead Noodle, it is a one-pot stew of pork brain, beef brain and other glutinous heads. The name is a bit down-to-earth, but I tried it and it tastes really good. It's large and full. Use it slowly. Let's see you later."
After everyone has used the brainless powder, Lu Duan Shao has finished his discussion with Shang Chenxi, and he and Shu Luntai will lead the seven Hua Lanting people to report. In addition, Yue Guanghan and Hu Sada, who had arrived before, who would come with the team in the name of the followers of the Wanxiangmen, so as to have the opportunity to watch the game.
In the afternoon, eleven people packed their luggage and found the mountain gate of Ziyue Immortal Sect according to the address.
The venue of this competition and the stations of various sects are arranged in the Ziyue Immortal Sect, which shows how vast the Ziyue Immortal Sect occupies.
There are still a few days left before the start of the competition, and there are already people coming and going in front of the mountain gate.
The Qitian Gate of the Ziyue Immortal Sect is built in a very grand manner, more than twenty feet wide and ten feet high, towering. The sect emblem hung on the front beam, and there is a big sword pointing upwards in it. There is a huge spiritual power continuously flowing from the hilt of the sword to the tip of the sword and emitting it.
After reporting the name of Zizai Wanxiang Sect, not long after, a person from the Ziyue Immortal Sect who was specifically responsible for receiving the great guests came out.
The disciples of the Wanxiang Sect looked at the visitor and were greeted by an old man with red hair as much as Lu Duan Shao. The old man's hair and beard were meticulously combed, his face was greasy, and his face was covered with wrinkles, making him look much older than Lu Duan Shao.
However, the age of the characters in Xianzhou cannot be simply judged by their appearance. Many masters do not care about their appearance and are unwilling to spend their spiritual power to reduce the traces of time.
When the visitor saw Lu Duan Shao, he shouted: "I tell you who the leader of Zizai Wanxiang Gate this time is? It turns out that he is Deputy Palace Master Lu. It's been a long time since we have not met for twenty years."
Lu Duan burned his hand and bowed: "What I mean, come on, let me introduce it to you. The daily affairs of Ziyue Immortal Sect are led by Zi, Yue, Tian, Qi and Shan. Except for Ziyue Hall directly under the jurisdiction of the famous elders in the mountains, the city belongs to Yuezi Hall with the greatest power. This is Gu Hongxiao, the deputy head of Yuetang. The boys come to see him."
Gu Hongxiao nodded slightly and said, "Old Lu, I naturally know your ability, but your Wanxiang Sect is a bit overwhelming. Other sects are also led by famous sect elders. You are the ones who have only sent you, the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall. Do you look down on the competition hosted by my Ziyue Immortal Sect?"
Lu Duan Shao raised his red eyebrows and replied, "Deputy Master Gu Yan is so serious. This sect attaches great importance to it. Although the disciples who came this time are young, they are all elites and leaders among the younger generation. So, there is no need for those old guys to come forward, and it is enough to have me."
Gu Hongxiao beat him up: "So that's it, whether it's good. Since there are no talent in the first grade of youth, this time I let the juniors come and have a long experience, and wait for the next competition to strive for better rankings and performances. This is understandable."
Lu Duan Shao: "It's easy to say, I heard that the sect will play with the strongest hero lineup of the young generation, which is a hero and a hero. If we try our best to chew our Iron Blood Youth League and make our teeth bleeding, it will be a bad face."
Lu Duanshao and Gu Hongxiao both had smiles on their faces, but they had guns and sticks in their words, soft and hard, and they refused to give in to each other. As soon as they came up, they smelled a little gunpowder.
Gu Hongxiao snorted in his nose: "Come here, take the fellow disciples of Zizai Wanxiang Sect to their residences, make good arrangements and do not neglect them. The master of this hall also wants to receive other sects, so he can't go there."
Another subordinate deacon came over and led everyone inside.
On the way, the deacon handed over a batch of waist cards and jade slips and said, "A few days before the start of the competition, you can freely enter and exit the gate, the stadium and the resident area with your waist cards. Only the necessary places in our sect cannot enter. In addition, after the competition starts, if other candidate disciples are to enter and exit, the team leader must pick them up and drop them off. In addition, these jade slips have detailed instructions on the competition rules, please watch them yourself."
The buildings and pavilions in the Ziyue Immortal Sect are complex and are decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent and luxurious.
The residence arranged for Zizai Wanxiangmen is a single-door single-family called "Xianting". The area is very spacious. Everyone lives in a single room, and there are many empty rooms. There are also independent hot spring bathing pools in the room. The location is too remote and does not fit the current thriving status of Wanxiangmen in the eastern part of Xianzhou.
After moving in, Lu Duanhao summoned the seven Hualanting people to hold a small meeting.
Lu Duan Shao said seriously: "You have also heard it just now. The Ziyue Immortal Sect is not particularly friendly to our Free Wanxiang Sect, so there is naturally a reason for this."
"The Ziyue Immortal Sect was established earlier, more than ten thousand years ago. It has always been a dominant group. It has occupied the throne of the eastern overlord of Xianzhou for a long time. Therefore, it has developed the habit of being arrogant and above the top, and bullying and suppressing other sects. Many of the disciples of the sect are always arrogant and domineering to the outside world."
"This sect is a new sect. More than a thousand years ago, we could not be ranked first among the cultivation sects in the eastern Xianzhou. The Ziyue Immortal Sect did not take us seriously at that time. They have been mainly suppressing the sects ranked second and third."
"But in recent thousand years, the development momentum of this sect has been very rapid, from high-end combat power to reserve forces, from actual control territory to influence on Xianzhou affairs, all of which have been steadily increasing."
"You also know that our sect has always been low-key in dealing with things, pursuing forbearance first, keeping a low profile, and burying its head on development, so it did not attract too much attention from the Ziyue Immortal Sect at the beginning."
"But when the sect is bigger and the power is stronger, it is like an elephant stepping into a pool. No matter how light and light the steps are, it will inevitably splash and make waves. This will still attract the attention of the Ziyue Immortal Sect."
"At present, their focus on prevention and focus is not on us, but this sect has entered the list of suppression. There should be no conflicts for the time being, but various constraints and frictions are inevitable."
"You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be wary of others. Arrangements to you inside, the reserve team outside, and the forces of friendly forces such as merchants, so that the parties can take care of each other, which is based on these considerations. Don't think too much about these things, your task is to speed up your practice and improve."
"As for this competition, there are no rigid ranking indicators for you in the door. Just try your best, just practice more and gain something, and go as far as you can."
"Don't underestimate yourself either. This Youth Elite Competition is said to be an average age of thirty or forty years, and its average cultivation is in the early stage of the Jindan Realm. You are only in your twenties and have reached the entrance period of the Three Mountains and Moon Realm. It's the Dengfeng period. Gu Hongxiao and I said that we are not afraid of any heroic team, and that is not just a slap in the face and a fat man."
"Let's talk about the strength of Ziyue Immortal Sect. It is undeniable that they are indeed a giant. The number of disciples of the sect is over 10,000, and there are many powerful people. We can only compare with the overall strength."
"The Ziyue Immortal Sect mainly focuses on sword cultivation. Although it has begun to introduce and develop other cultivation categories and techniques in recent years, the traditional faction that advocates sword cultivation has an absolute advantage."
"They are based on the Taiyi Hunyuan Gong and the Void Wuji Sword as the main vein. After ten thousand years of development, they have formed a rich sword-controlling system. The main craftsmanship is unique and very powerful. You have all understood these in the sect."
"I have read the jade slip. The rules and schedule of the competition are explained in detail. You can study it yourself. If you don't understand anything, just ask Senior Brother Shuluntai."
"Simply put, this game is a bit strange. There will be only a seven-player team battle. Previous individual competitions and other forms have been cancelled. There are hundreds of teams of all large and small sects participating in the competition. The knockout rounds are drawn in the first draw. After multiple rounds, there will be a resurrection match and a round-robin qualifying match until the top ten and top three are decided."
"In the next few days, after getting familiar with the venue, I will personally guide you to practice together a few times, but the intensity will not be too high, mainly to rest and accumulate momentum."
