~8 min read 1,556 words

Big Bamboo Peak, Shoujing Hall.

Two sword lights arrived in a hurry, landed on the ground. Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu were both dressed in white. After putting away their swords, they saluted Tian Buyi and Su Ru together.

Tian Buyi's gaze examined, and after seeing Lin Jingyu reach the fourth layer of the Taiji Profound Purity Dao in three and a half years, his complexion couldn't help but sink... In Tian Buyi's perspective, Cangsong Daoist met Gu Qing, Lin Jingyu, and Zhang Xiaofan in Grass Temple Village, and then immediately took Gu Qing to Dragon Head Peak to protect him, and took Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan to Tongtian Peak.

After clarifying the initial events, Cangsong Daoist took Lin Jingyu as his disciple. In the whole thing, he could be said to have eaten and taken everything, leaving only a residue for Tian Buyi, which was the current Zhang Xiaofan.

Therefore, seeing Lin Jingyu could meet, Tian Buyi was very unhappy.

"What are you doing here?"

Tian Buyi asked coldly.

"Reporting to Uncle-Master."

Qi Hao cupped his hands and saluted, properly, saying, "Sect Master Daoxuan Zhenren entrusted the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competition to my master, and my master listened to the words of Chief Gu Qing, making many changes to the rules of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competition, so he ordered me to go to each peak to convey the rules one by one."

Tian Buyi heard Gu Qing, his brows frowned deeper, and asked, "What kind of tricks did Gu Qing come up with again?"

In these three years, Gu Qing had brought huge changes to the Profound Heaven Sect. Disciples entering the sect had to cultivate the Golden Goose Art, practice the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Array, and even the Taiji Profound Purity Dao passed down by Qingyunzi was excavated by Gu Qing, appearing with many magical uses.

In the current Profound Heaven Sect, Gu Qing's reputation was already above the elders. Up and down the sect, many people believed that with Gu Qing, they would flourish from now on.

"Junior Brother Gu believes that to screen out the true strong, a double-elimination system should be adopted."

Qi Hao said honestly, "That is, through several rounds of battles, a winner's group and a loser's group are divided. Then the winners continue to advance, and those who fail will fall into the loser's group. The people in the loser's group will choose the winner through continuous victory, and then fight against the winner's group again."

The rules of the double-elimination system were not complicated, and Qi Hao explained them simply.

"This time, each of the seven peaks will send nine people. On your side, Uncle-Master Tian, someone can directly advance to the winner's group."

Qi Hao said the rules.

Tian Buyi's expression was awkward. He only had eight people in his sect. This quota of directly advancing to the winner's group seemed to be caring, but to him, it was a shame.

"You Dragon Head Peak came up with this thing to ensure that you won't lose people in internal fighting."

Tian Buyi's words contained anger.

In the past Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competitions, there were many internal fights in this grading and grouping. There were many outstanding people in each peak, who were often eliminated in internal fighting. Now that a double-elimination system was created, there were more battles between peaks.

Qi Hao's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, and said, "Junior Brother Gu created this kind of rule to ensure that he can meet Lu Xueqi of Little Bamboo Peak at the top."

As soon as these words came out, the people of Big Bamboo Peak fell silent.

Da Huang barked twice, feeling that it was uncomfortable to be a single dog.

"Is Xueqi out of seclusion?"

Su Ru asked.

Qi Hao nodded and said, "Junior Brother Gu has already gone to welcome her."

Tian Buyi thought of Gu Qing, feeling that the desire to compete with Cangsong had disappeared, and then thought of Gu Qing and Lu Xueqi, and couldn't help scolding, "I don't know why that woman Shuiyue didn't stop it."

Strong strength, big reputation, and a smooth relationship, and even because of selfishness, changed the rules of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competition...

Tian Buyi thought about his hard work chasing Su Ru, and was always unhappy... Of course, if Gu Qing was his apprentice...

Tian Buyi had no opinion on the rules of the double-elimination system. Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu both breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Jingyu immediately found Zhang Xiaofan to reminisce about the past, while Qi Hao on the side looked around and saw Tian Ling'er in red.

"Is this Junior Sister Tian?"

Qi Hao smiled slightly, leaned towards Tian Ling'er, and said, "Junior Sister Tian is sixteen years old, and her attainments in the Taiji Profound Purity Dao in our sect are extraordinary. I have admired you for a long time."

Zhang Xiaofan was talking to Lin Jingyu, saw everything here, his heart panicked, and he was absent-minded when talking to Lin Jingyu.

"Senior Brother Qi is also well-deserved."

Tian Ling'er flattered casually and asked with wide eyes, "Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Gu created so many sword techniques in Dragon Head Peak, did he create any methods using ribbons? Now this Profound Heaven Sect has almost become the Profound Heaven Sword Sect. We who use other magic tools have almost become aliens."

Qi Hao stiffened slightly when he heard the topic involving Gu Qing.

"Junior Brother Gu is indeed extraordinary in talent..."

Qi Hao took the topic away, took out the Cool Pearl, and said, "A few years ago, I followed my master Cangsong Zhenren to do justice for heaven, wiped out a group of demonic evildoers, and found this Cool Pearl. It is said that it can maintain youth..."

"Forget it."

Tian Ling'er saw it and was not interested, saying, "Senior Brother Gu said in Little Bamboo Peak that the Taiji Profound Purity Dao follows some meridians and acupoints, which can return to youth and maintain youth. How can your Cool Pearl compare to Senior Brother Gu's method..."

Su Ru was originally from Little Bamboo Peak, so she naturally cultivated this method of maintaining youth, and Tian Ling'er naturally understood it too.

Qi Hao was silent.

"Senior Brother Qi, in this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Competition, what ranking do you think you can get?"

Tian Ling'er asked suddenly.

Qi Hao thought of the miserable defeat three years ago and the hard cultivation in these three years, thought for a while, and said, "I should be able to reach the top." At least he could not let Gu Qing and Lu Xueqi meet at the top.

"That means no matter how you practice, you can't compare to Senior Brother Gu."

Tian Ling'er was uninterested.

"Mr. Wan."

Gu Qing said indifferently: "The more a person is skilled in schemes, the easier it is to fall into an unexpected predicament and have all previous efforts wasted." As he spoke, Gu Qing waved his long sword casually, and the Mountain Demon on the other side suddenly had its fur explode, revealing the form of a man.

Gu Qing had already cultivated the Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art, using his spirit to control matter. After the Mountain Demon appeared near Gu Qing, Gu Qing's spirit swept over it, and he knew it was a man in disguise.

Wan Renwang looked at the completely different mental state at this time, and recalled Gu Qing's loud cry of "do not bully the youth for being poor" earlier, only then realizing he had been played by Gu Qing.

"If a plan is not tight, one will suffer the consequences."

Wan Renwang laughed openly, reflecting on his own calculations... He had accidentally learned that there was a scholar here in Zhushan City who had lost money at the tower ship and was playing the Mountain Demon to beg for money. He used this as a lead to set up a scheme, wanting to let the Profound Heaven Sect or the Pufang of the Heavenly Sound Temple kill the Mountain Demon, disturb his heart, and then surround and attack Pufang.

Even if he couldn't kill him, he could break his Buddhist heart.

But this plan had been seen through.

Wan Renwang looked at Gu Qing, remembering the topic Gu Qing had discussed earlier about his wife and daughter, and the baleful energy and blood energy that came when he touched Gu Qing's arm, as well as Gu Qing's stunning sword strike just now. He knew he had been led by the nose by Gu Qing the whole time. He sighed and said: "The heroes of this world are truly as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river..."

As he spoke, Wan Renwang looked toward the sky and saw a golden light coming from afar, its target being exactly this place. He immediately waved his hand and left the area.

The current Wan Renwang was already injured and could no longer fight to the death.

Lu Xueqi's gaze was cold as she watched Wan Renwang leave, only then saying: "That person is about the same as our Profound Heaven Sect's First Seat."

The Ghost King should be a bit stronger than the Profound Heaven Sect's First Seat.
