Chapter 316: Can't Win by Fighting, Can't Win by Talking

Sword light flashed.

Meng Zhangqing returned to the high platform.

"Junior Brother Meng!"

Kong Linxue dared not make a loud noise; after all, sect elders were all around, and she did not wish to draw too much attention.

Instead, she secretly gave a thumbs-up.

Meng Zhangqing smiled and nodded at her.

He returned to his seat.

"Damn it, you hid yourself so deeply!"

"No wonder the Zhang Sect Society praised you!"

"Even I dare not attempt the Spirit Saint Slaughter Sword Art!"

"Yet you actually mastered it!"

Mo Xiaoyu walked over, speaking with some indignation.

She crossed her arms and pouted.

"But don't get happy too early; I am definitely still stronger than you now!"

Although the power of the Great Five Elements Wheel Sword Art could not compare to the Spirit Saint Slaughter Sword Art, she was a Born Sword Body, enough to bridge that gap.

Even surpass it!

"Right, right, right, you are the most powerful."

Meng Zhangqing shook his head and smiled.

He was too lazy to argue with this girl.

During this time, couldn't he use his Eye of Investigation more often to check other people's panels?

"Hmph!"

Mo Xiaoyu walked back, satisfied.

The panic in her heart vanished.

Truly simple.

Meng Zhangqing's fight was merely a small interlude.

As more prodigies began their battles.

It was quickly forgotten.

The supreme arts of the three sects shone brilliantly on the martial arena.

Especially when the Shi brothers took the field.

These two figures, like small mountains, one wielding a hammer and the other an axe, exuded overwhelming pressure.

Disciples of the Juling Sect, who also cultivated the body, instantly appeared incredibly puny before them.

After a few exchanges, they were knocked flying.

The Stone Man bloodline reappeared in the human world.

Eliciting countless gasps of awe.

And Mo Xiaoyu was the same.

Born Sword Body!

When she unleashed it, she was like the dominator of the Sword Dao, with ten thousand swords flowing back to her!

The Five Elements Sword Techniques displayed terrifying power.

Thus, time passed bit by bit.

The first stage of the matches ended.

Seventy-five remained, seventy-five eliminated.

The Xuantai Sect's advantage was very obvious, with a full thirty people remaining.

Nearly half of the remaining number!

"Xuantai Sect, are you sure you didn't rig this?"

On the high platform, Duanmu Yang stood up.

His expression was quite ugly.

He had watched every match, yet found that the Xuantai Sect disciples rarely encountered each other.

Whereas the Yan Yang Valley and Juling Sect frequently met one another.

"Quiet."

Xi Yingqing stood with hands behind his back.

He sent a single glance over.

Duanmu Yang immediately stepped back several paces.

He was merely in the Divine Connection Realm; how could he contend with the honorable Xi Yingqing of the Life and Death Realm?

If only the Laozu Sect of the valley had come.

But the Laozu Sect had just entered the Life and Death Realm and needed to consolidate his realm.

"Zhang Sect Society Xi, ease up on the glare; if you glare someone to death, that would be no small matter."

Yuan Cang of the Wanxiang Pavilion chuckled lightly.

As the arbiter.

He naturally stood on the neutral side and would not favor anyone.

Upon hearing this.

Xi Yingqing withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining calm.

"The drawing of the tokens was witnessed by all; no deception is possible."

Yuan Cang said, "Endu Gu Zhu, take your seat."

With a way out provided.

Endu Yang accordingly took his seat.

—

Seated on the high platform, Meng Zhangqing paid no attention to their verbal sparring.

Instead, he observed the panels of the high-ranking figures from other factions.

He also discovered something.

Although their attributes were good, the cultivation base column showed their true realm, unlike the Zijiazong Sect, which bore the words "(provisional)."

From this, it could be seen.

His previous thoughts were correct.

In Lingzhou, the Zijiazong Sect would treat you as an equal only if it pleased them; if not, they would crush you all with a single strike!

Now, choosing to promote the sect.

Perhaps they felt the time was right to move forward.
