Chapter 335: Contending for the Seat

In the west Fei Que Xing Gong, the old man called Xiao Xiao Shixiong Huo Mi was wearing an apricot-yellow magic robe, a Chaos One-Qi headscarf, a silk belt around his waist, and a three-foot long sword as clear as autumn water on his back. He was very tall and burly, and he was awe-inspiring without being angry.

If Chen Hang were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this Huo Mi was the Yuchen Elder at the Pot-Cup Dharma Assembly back then.

At that time, he was secretly fighting with True Person Ming You, who was from a noble family, and even specially arranged the matter of qi-soldier performance.

Chen Hang was the one who defeated Sima Quantong, Xie Tang, Jiang Tongyuan, and others in succession with qi-soldiers, and was personally praised by Huo Mi as "victory in fighting".

Since then, his reputation has truly spread, making everyone in the Four Courts hear of it!

At this time, hearing the sound in his ears.

Huo Mi opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the old man who transmitted the voice, and said:

"What kind of idea is Chen Chen Shidi Liu Jue having again? Which kind of item in my hand have you taken a fancy to?"

The old man Liu Jue, who transmitted the voice, couldn't help but smile upon hearing this and sighed:

"The matter of the Grand Competition has always been based on one's own ability. What kind of thoughts can I have, junior brother?"

"Although I have an offspring, Liu Xu, on the scene, if I say he can take the leader's name, even I, this old man, don't believe it. Compared with those three, Liu Xu is still lacking in ability."

"If we talk about who is the most confident right now."

"I'm afraid it should be Chen Chen Shidi Gu Zhao and Chen Chen Shidi Wei Zhan, right?"

Once these words were spoken, humble words sounded in the two flying palace star palaces in the north and south, claiming they did not dare.

This time, there were four Yuchen Elders who received the sect's decree and came to Qi-Yun Mountain with Elder Zou: Huo Mi, Liu Jue, Gu Zhao, and Wei Zhan.

Among them, Huo Mi and Gu Zhao were naturally from orthodox sects.

Especially Huo Mi, who was even the registered little disciple accepted by Daoist Shan Jian, one of the three governing ancestors of Yuchen in this era, and his identity was even more different!

But Liu Jue and Wei Zhan.

One of these two was from the Chi-Shuo Liu clan, and the other was from the Si-Ye Wei clan, both of whom were figures of the Twelve Noble Families.

The people from the sects and the noble families each occupied half.

In a sense, it could be considered impartial.

"Since we are going to bet, I don't know which person Chen Chen Shidi Liu Jue has taken a fancy to, and what kind of treasure you want to take out?"

At this time, after thinking for a moment, Huo Mi asked.

Liu Jue smiled and said: "I heard that our sect's Wei Daofu has a close relationship with that true disciple Wei Lingjiang of Chi-Ming, and was even praised that her aptitude is not inferior to Wei Lingjiang's. Chen Chen Shidi Wei Zhan, is it so or not?"

In the north palace, Wei Zhan's face showed a slight embarrassment upon hearing this.

He just nodded slightly, but did not say much.

The discord between Wei Lingjiang and the Wei clan leader Wei Shao is not a secret in the eyes of people of their status.

As long as one is willing to investigate.

Everything can be made clear.

And Wei Lingjiang has long had a cold relationship with the Si-Ye Wei clan and cut off contact. Although Wei Zhan is not a loyal supporter of the Wei clan leader's faction, he cannot change his Wei clan origin.

The two have long been prosperous together and damaged together.

Therefore, he did not want to mention Wei Lingjiang's affairs too much and reveal family scandals in public.

At this time, seeing Wei Zhan's perfunctory attitude, Liu Jue also knew it well.

He was originally a person who liked to joke and liked excitement. If it were in normal times, he would have teased a few words.

But at this time, he endured and endured, and turned the topic back to business.

"Since this is the case, this old man will bet that this Wei Daofu is the leader of the Grand Competition! What about you all? Do you want to guess together and join in the fun?"

Liu Jue scanned the few fellow disciples and said with a smile.

"You senior brothers please do as you please... I'll just watch from outside the field." Wei Zhan shook his head first upon hearing this, waved his hand, and said.

The one who can win the championship in this session.

If there are no accidents, it will be these three: He Lizi, Wei Daofu, and Shi You.

Since Liu Jue has already chosen Wei Daofu, he, Wei Zhan, has always been self-respecting, and naturally will not bet on his own juniors.

And He Lizi and Shi You are people from the sect side, so it is even harder to choose.

In this way.

It is better to just watch the fun.

And seeing Wei Zhan say this, He Lizi's master, Gu Zhao, also politely refused and did not enter the field, causing Liu Jue to shake his head repeatedly and call it unhappy.

"Since you have bet on Wei Daofu, what are you prepared to take out as a bet?"

Huo Mi shook his head and asked.

"Half a volume of Dan-Yuan Star Method, this should be quite valuable, right?" Liu Jue thought for a moment and said:

"I don't know what Xiao Xiao Shixiong Huo thinks, and who you are interested in?"

Huo Mi's gaze passed through the layers of pavilions and buildings in the palace, stayed on He Lizi and Shi You for a long time, and finally moved away slowly, falling on Chen Hang, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Not enough."

He said.

"What?"

Liu Jue was slightly surprised upon hearing this: "Even half a volume of Dan-Yuan Star Map is not enough?"

"I know Chen Chen Shidi Liu's origin. For ordinary people at the same level, half a volume of Dan-Yuan Star Map is indeed very precious, but with Chen Chen Shidi Liu's family background, it is not enough to take this item too seriously."

Huo Mi opened his mouth:

"I am willing to take out that Purple True Small Thunder Seal, and Chen Chen Shidi might as well release the whole volume of the Dan-Yuan Star Map. In this way, the value is equal."

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Huo, what a big hand!"

Liu Jue became interested and clapped his hands:

"It's just that I don't know who you want to place this heavy bet on?"

Huo Mi raised his sleeve and suddenly pointed to a young Daoist in purple clothes and a golden crown, with an immortal appearance.

A mist surged and churned around his body, and mystic Qi rolled and billowed, as if flowers were piled like snow and jade and gold were stacked; his bearing was transcendent and otherworldly, and at a single glance, one could tell he was a man of the Dao, unlike the common sort.

"Chen Hang?"

Liu Jue looked over, and after a moment of silence, replied in a deep voice:

"Good! I will bet with you!"

Another hour passed quietly.

Now in Qi-Yun Mountain, the top four seats are still empty, and no one has come forward.

As for the last six seats.

But they were fighting fiercely, and the faces that came forward had already changed several times.

Even Xiao Xiujing was almost expelled from the sixth seat, and only barely won by one move to keep his ranking.

And at this time, Chen Hang watched Shen Cheng fighting fiercely with a red-clothed female cultivator, both sides using all their methods, and both were burning with real fire.

But seeing green wood growing densely, turning the clouds within a few miles into a forest sea, like a huge cage.

Even if it was destroyed by the red-clothed female cultivator's Dao method for a while, but within a few moments, it grew densely again, returning to its old appearance.

This secret method is exactly the "Year Star Heavy Brilliance True Skill" of the Yuchen Sect.

In addition to attacking and defending against enemies, the forest trees generated by this secret method can also be purified into extremely refined true essence by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, feeding it back to the owner's body to make up for the loss during fighting.

It can be said that if one cannot break the Year Star Heavy Brilliance True Skill completely with thunderous means at the beginning.

Once dragged into a fierce battle.

As one grows and the other wanes.

Then defeat is almost certain, it's just a matter of how long one can hold on.

For a time, only the rumbling sound in the clouds was endless, like thousands of drums beating, one sound louder than the other!

Infinite thunder, fire, and golden stars scattered, the aftermath spread far away, expanding layer by layer, stirring the void gang wind like a pot of boiling water, rolling endlessly.

In the end, after fighting for over a hundred rounds, the red-clothed female cultivator finally exhausted her strength and gradually felt unable to support it.

She smiled bitterly, took the initiative to put away the white jade whisk, bowed and sighed:

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen, you really have good methods. I didn't expect that even this Year Star Heavy Brilliance True Skill was cultivated by you... Defeated by Xiao Xiao Shixiong Shen, it's not considered a grievance."

"Qiao Shimei Yu is too polite."

Shen Cheng reached out and grabbed, and the dense forest trees rooted in the void instantly collapsed, turning into a wisp of green qi the size of a finger, floating leisurely, and then was grabbed by Shen Cheng and swallowed.

He looked at the red-clothed female cultivator, and there was a trace of emotion on his face, sincerely saying:

"If it weren't for luck, luckily cultivating the Year Star Heavy Brilliance True Skill before the Grand Competition, who would win and who would lose in our battle today would be hard to say."

"However, with your mysterious Dao methods, junior sister, it is not difficult for you to get a seat among the Ten Great Disciples if you want to move up!"

Once these words were spoken.

From below Shen Cheng's seat, the five people including Xiao Xiujing all sank slightly.

And Lou Bing, who was in the tenth seat, the last position, was even more shocked in his heart. After sighing in his heart, he just held the demon-subduing stick in his hand tightly.

His eyes flashed with brilliance, and a fierce intent shot out.

The blue veins on his forehead bulged, like earthworms twisting and rolling under the skin, looking a bit ferocious!

Now the last six seats each have their owners.

Only the top four seats are still empty, and no one dares to step on them.

But no matter which of these three, He Lizi, Shi You, and Wei Daofu, wins the leader, they will surely occupy the top three seats.

In this way.

Although there is one seat left.

But at this time, standing on the peak of Qi-Yun Mountain, there are nearly ten people who have not moved!

Among them, Chen Hang, Liu Xu, Sima Tan, Xie Rongzhao, including Sima Tan's younger brother Sima Xian and the sect-born Xue Yuanxi, are all not easy to deal with.

Chen Hang doesn't need to be mentioned.

For this person, Lou Bing can be said to be like thunder.

Among the various titles on him, none of them are easy to take!

And for Chen Hang actually cultivating to the Cave-Mystic Realm and wanting to participate in this Grand Competition.

Lou Bing was astonished, and there was a deep helplessness in his heart, just feeling that it was truly fortune playing with people, adding another strong enemy.

As for Liu Xu.

Because Lou Bing is a secret guest of the Chi-Shuo Liu clan.

Lou Bing is also deeply wary of Liu Xu.

Liu Xu, like him, practices the "Profound Scripture of Manifesting the Subtle through Preserved Light" simplified from the "Earthly Treasure Record".

However, Liu Xu's aptitude is far above Lou Bing's, and his Dao nature is more sufficient. He is the true noble son of the Chi-Shuo Liu clan.

If it comes to identity, he is still above Liu Guan!

According to Lou Bing.

The fourth seat of this Grand Competition is destined to be decided between Chen Hang and Liu Xu, and it is hard for others to have it!

And the remaining Sima Tan and Xie Rongzhao are not inferior to Shen Cheng at all.

As for Sima Xian and Xue Yuanxi, they are also old-fashioned refiners with great reputations, who have repeatedly had outstanding battle records and powerful methods.

And with these strong people watching from the side,

Plus the Qiao Shimei Yu who just lost to Shen Cheng.

One can imagine.

The current vacancies are not enough for so many people to divide...

Once they decide to enter the field.

The seats of the Ten Great Disciples will surely undergo a fierce reshuffle!

Many people will leave sadly and give their seats to others.

And Lou Bing, as the tenth seat with the lowest ranking, will surely bear the brunt of this impact.

The heavy pressure he is facing now.

It is self-evident...

"Why is this Four Courts Grand Competition so cruel... Why do so many talented people have to gather in this session?!"

Lou Bing raised his eyelids silently, looking up at the blue sky like water, the vast and boundless scene, the expression in his eyes was really complicated.

If it were in previous years, with his ability, fighting for the last seat of the Ten Great Disciples would be a sure thing.

Even fighting for a few higher positions would be possible!

But now...

Just when Lou Bing was thinking silently, in the corner of his eye, a light and shadow seemed to move slightly, disappearing in a flash, making people doubt whether it was their own illusion.

But when Lou Bing turned his head in doubt and saw the scene before him.

His pupils couldn't help but shrink, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

Within a few breaths, exclamations rose like a tide outside Qi-Yun Mountain, one after another, clamoring up.

Vibrating endlessly among the peaks, as if to spread directly to the clouds!

"Where did he get the guts? He has such great guts!"

Xiao Xiujing's fists in his sleeves were tightly clenched, and he looked at Liu Guan in the eighth seat, both seeing the deep wariness in each other's eyes.

And Shen Cheng's pupils also moved slightly, but after a brief moment of astonishment, he laughed and clapped his hands, his face showing joy.

For a time.

The reactions of all parties were different.

It was just a great uproar, the sound waves were noisy, and the wind and clouds surged!

And this noisy movement was also seen by several Yuchen Elders.

In the flying palace star palace.

Liu Jue frowned slightly and shook his head:

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong Huo, this Chen Hang you fancy is arrogant. Obviously, Wei Daofu and He Lizi haven't moved yet, but he is not polite...

However, even if he has been in the limelight for a while, if he can't keep his position, he will only end up as a joke."

Huo Mi took his gaze back from the chief jade platform and replied:

"Those few you mentioned may not be able to defeat Chen Hang, so just watch carefully. Who wins and who loses, how can there be any certainty? As for arrogance—"

Huo Mi paused here, suddenly laughed, and shouted:

"Since he is the victory in fighting of our sect, it is a matter of course that he has such arrogance. Who can criticize it?!"

Smoke comes out of distant peaks, wind rolls the clear sky.

Looking at it, I only see the clouds in the long sky, and the mountains and rivers are like a picture scroll, spread out flat, boundless.

Being in such a high place, it is as if one can pick stars and suns by reaching out, and step on the ten thousand miles of land under one's feet, making one's heart full of heroism!

"It seems that the scenery here is indeed unique."

On the chief jade platform, Chen Hang took back his gaze and smiled lightly.

He scanned Xiao Xiujing and Liu Guan on the same jade platform, saw that the two had strange expressions and did not want to look at each other, shook his head slightly, and then moved past He Lizi and others.

Finally, it fell faintly on the peak, Liu Xu, Sima Tan, Xie Rongzhao, and other noble family members who had not yet played.

"Please."

Chen Hang took the initiative to reach out and said calmly.

Once these words were spoken, Liu Xu, Sima Tan, Xie Rongzhao, and others were all silent.

The noble families present were all moved.

"Interesting!"

Sima Tan, who was as thin as a child, sneered, just about to fly up, but was tightly pulled by his younger brother Sima Xian beside him, transmitting a voice:

"Now that the heroes are surrounding, brother must not reveal his trump card first. Let me take your place and test the reality of this Chen Hang!"

"You?"

Sima Tan hesitated for a moment:

"But your cultivation method..."

Sima Xian said confidently: "Although I made some mistakes when comprehending two superior Dao scriptures and the profound principles could not be reconciled, it is not a good thing in the long run, but in the present, the combat power has increased a lot!

Brother, don't worry, just leave it to me!"

Hearing his own brother say this.

Sima Tan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, tacitly agreeing to this matter.

And at this time, Sima Xian drove a golden-red smoke evil spirit to fly into the clouds, deliberately creating a majestic momentum, causing several peaks around to be smoked and boiled by fire, smoke lingering, reflecting several miles, like heavenly fire descending, the appearance is very extraordinary!

Hearing the faint exclamations from the distant spectators, Sima Xian was proud in his heart.

He fixed his figure in the clouds, his big sleeves fluttering in the wind, just about to bow casually and perfunctory a few words.

On the jade platform, Chen Hang waved his hand and interrupted lightly:

"Go down, your true qi is bright on the outside but dim on the inside, and your divine intent is hard to hide. Although it is clear, it is not thick. After careful observation, it is like something in the dust, losing the principle of profound clarity. This should be because the two scriptures in your body are contradictory, conflicting with each other and cannot be reconciled.

A person who has gone into qi deviation, are you also worthy to fight with me?"

"What did you say?!"

Sima Xian was shocked upon hearing this, his body shivered, and he felt cold all over!
