Chapter 118: The Stakes

"Greetings, Senior Qiao!"

He Pingsheng walked to Daoist Nun Qiao's side and bowed respectfully.

Daoist Nun Qiao looked gentle: "Good... it's good that you're here; I thought you wouldn't be able to reach the tenth layer!"

"I didn't expect you to actually reach it!"

Daoist Nun Qiao was enthusiastic on the surface, but a bit surprised in her heart.

She really didn't expect that with He Pingsheng's aptitude, he could cultivate to the tenth layer of Qi Refining within three years.

"Sit down; there is still some time before the competition starts!"

"Adjust your breathing first!"

Daoist Nun Qiao's mood was very complicated.

Actually, from her heart, she hoped that both sides would set a life-and-death competition.

Let Xiao Xuan directly beat He Pingsheng to death, then her niece's inner demon would be gone.

However, she didn't know why, but she actually felt a trace of expectation for He Pingsheng in her heart.

Hoping that He Pingsheng could defeat Xiao Xuan.

Although she knew this was impossible.

"Pingsheng!" Qiao Huizhu pulled He Pingsheng to sit together and whispered: "How are you prepared?"

Before He Pingsheng could speak, she hurriedly added: "Don't be nervous, just deal with it normally!"

"Although Xiao Xuan is a Void Linggen encountered once in ten thousand years, who can simulate countless Linggen and cast many magic spells, it doesn't matter!"

"As long as you fight steadily, it will be fine!"

"Void Linggen just has fast cultivation speed and is ever-changing, but there is no suppression in magic power!"

"You are both at the tenth layer; his spiritual power in his body may not be much thicker than yours!"

"Don't care about winning or losing; living is the most important!"

"Hmm!" He Pingsheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will deal with it with all my strength!"

While talking, He Pingsheng looked around, but did not see Xiao Xuan himself.

However, it didn't take long before Xiao Xuan, wearing a green robe, arrived at the square surrounded by several young disciples.

Whoosh...

Countless people's gazes fell on him.

Xiao Xuan was calm, leisurely enjoying everyone's gazes, and then looked at He Pingsheng.

A smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

It was a cold smile.

He thought He Pingsheng wouldn't dare to come.

This guy actually really came?

Coming is best; once on stage, I will let you see what a true genius is.

Without magic treasures, relying solely on bare hands and fists, I can still behead you!

"Everyone!" A Golden Core Elder of the Ice Extreme Sect wearing a bright red Daoist robe suddenly made a sound: "Welcome fellow Daoists to our Ice Extreme Sect to join in the fun!"

"The competition between juniors is not worth mentioning, nor is it worth inviting everyone to watch the ceremony!"

"However, this competition is somewhat unusual!"

"Because this dispute involves the Qiao family of Mount Tianqiang, the old man and the Qiao family of Mount Tianqiang have already agreed that if the Tai Xu Men disciple wins this time, the marriage contract will be concluded between Tai Xu Men and Mount Tianqiang!"

"But if our Ice Extreme Sect luckily wins, that marriage contract will be concluded between our Ice Extreme Immortal Sect and Mount Tianqiang."

"So inviting everyone here is also to be a witness!"

Before the red-robed elder's words fell, Qiao Huizhu turned her head abruptly and looked at her aunt, saying: "Aunt... it's not like that, right?"

Daoist Nun Qiao frowned and said: "I don't know either... how can this Ice Extreme Sect talk nonsense?"

"Then..." Qiao Huizhu was anxious: "What should we do?"

Daoist Nun Qiao said: "Now is not the time to theorize; I will go and ask them later!"

"Young man!" Daoist Nun Qiao's gaze turned to He Pingsheng and said: "Now, you must find a way to win, otherwise your marriage contract with Huizhu might have changes!"

The pressure came onto He Pingsheng.

"Of course!" The red-robed elder continued: "Within the Dao Xuan Alliance, we are all brother sects!"

"Competition is just a bet on winning or losing, not a matter of life and death!"

"So the old man will state the rules of this competition!"

"First, no magic treasures are allowed; you must fight with bare hands and fists, and only rely on strength and spells to determine the winner, and you must not rely on external objects!"

"Secondly, during the competition, no talismans, formations, medicinal pills, and all other heaven and earth treasures are allowed!"

"Simply put, two disciples go up to fight, and they are not allowed to bring anything; they can only compare their own strength and magic spells!"

"The reason for setting these rules is also to fear casualties during the competition!"

The Ice Extreme Sect elder seemed to be speaking high-sounding words, but in fact, he still had selfish motives.

In the eyes of the Ice Extreme Sect, their Void Linggen would definitely win.

Not using defensive magic treasures could allow their disciple to win more thoroughly.

Otherwise, if the opponent took out a super-tier treasure, it would be impossible to fight.

Secondly, they were more worried about the safety of the Void Linggen; if the opponent used some forbidden weapon to behead my disciple, I wouldn't even have a place to cry.

Now it's good, you are not allowed to use any other items.

Just relying on physical martial arts and magic spells, you can't kill our disciple in seconds, right?

"This competition was proposed by our Ice Extreme Sect, so naturally there must be a stake!" The red-robed elder stood up, smiled, and waved his hand, and then an object appeared in his hand.

That was a storage bag.

"Pfft..."

Seeing the storage bag, many people couldn't help but show disdain.

Just a storage bag, and they thought the Ice Extreme Sect was so generous!

This thing only costs a few thousand spirit stones in the Chamber of Commerce.

A few thousand spirit stones are very precious to Qi Refining disciples, but for a sect, it's a bit stingy.

You Ice Extreme Sect called everyone here with such fanfare, and the reward is just a storage bag?

It's really too stingy.

However, the red-robed elder smiled confidently and said: "Everyone, don't underestimate this storage bag!"

"Unlike what you think, this bag is a top-tier storage bag!"

"After wearing it, it can be hidden in the flesh and blood, and even a Nascent Soul Stage great power cannot see through it!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

The previous disdain was all gone.

Storage bag?

Top-tier?

Invisibility?

This kind of thing cannot be simply measured by spirit stones.

Because it is very precious.

Very rare.

Even a Nascent Soul Stage great power might not be able to afford to use it.

Because under normal circumstances, you simply can't buy it.

Everyone discussed it.

He Pingsheng was also surprised.

He already had four of these things, so he didn't care about this reward.

However, the red-robed elder's words just now made him feel like he had found a treasure.

Because the red-robed elder just said that after a top-tier storage bag becomes invisible, even a Nascent Soul Stage great cultivator cannot see it.

Hehehe...

Then in the future, I can use it openly.

Great!

"This is the stake from our Ice Extreme Immortal Sect; whoever wins between the two disciples can take this top-tier storage bag!" The red-robed elder smiled and placed the storage bag on a high platform.

In his view, this thing was Xiao Xuan's, and it couldn't run away. ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
