Chapter 415

"Uh..."

"He... oh... He Pingsheng from Liang Guo has defeated Xiao Xuan from Qi Guo!"

"May I ask He Pingsheng, do you choose to continue the competition tomorrow, or continue now?"

The host looked at this guy who was only at the sixth layer of the Golden Core Stage with some disbelief, and even stuttered while speaking.

He Pingsheng said: "Continue!"

He had half an incense stick's worth of rest time.

A drop of Ice Plain Divine Dew, or two mouthfuls of 【Golden Bee Holy Nectar】, could refill his dantian.

The battle with Xiao Xuan just now was not easy; he had exhausted almost three of his five daintians to force Xiao Xuan to run out of spiritual energy.

Xiao Xuan was indeed ridiculously strong.

"Apologies..." Daoist Long Yuan stood up, bowed to the host, and said: "Today our Qi Guo has already fought ten matches, and it is getting late, so we have decided to compete again tomorrow!"

In the Grand Competition, between two nations, it is reasonable to only fight one match per day.

Although He Pingsheng agreed to continue, if Long Yuan did not agree, then naturally there could be no competition.

Tomorrow it is, then.

He Pingsheng nodded: "Good!"

"That's fine!" The host could only say: "Then let's compete again tomorrow; everyone, go back and get some good rest!"

Everyone retreated.

Back at the villa, Grandmaster Zhen Yu was very happy. He looked at He Pingsheng and said: "Well done, the hardest part of Qi Guo was Xiao Xuan; now that you have defeated Xiao Xuan, the rest should be nothing to worry about!"

"Yes!" Liang Huaqiu also looked delighted.

Grandmaster Zhen Yu said: "However... we cannot let our guard down; after all, the stakes between us and Qi Guo this time are too high, involving the ownership of an entire commandery!"

"Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility of them using some underhanded means!"

"In the upcoming matches, focus on stability!"

"Do you remember?"

Grandmaster Zhen Yu looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng said: "Yes... please rest assured, Senior, I am very stable!"

"That's good!" Zhen Yu waved his hand: "You all go down and rest!"

He Pingsheng returned to his small building.

Liang Huaqiu followed him into the room.

He Pingsheng: "Do you not have your own residence? Why are you following me? I still need to rest..."

"Tsk!" Liang Huaqiu said: "I am your first concubine!"

"What's wrong with coming here?"

She looked at He Pingsheng with a smile, her proud face lifted with a hint of guilt, the beauty's face filled with pride.

He Pingsheng couldn't be bothered with her, threw out a pink meditation cushion, and sat cross-legged on it.

"Eh... this cushion of yours is quite cute!" Liang Huaqiu said: "Let me sit on it..."

"You're a grown man, why do you have a pink one?"

"How interesting... hee hee hee..."

He Pingsheng rolled his eyes at her and said: "My wife gave it to me, is that not allowed?"

"Hmph..." Liang Huaqiu's little bottom, which had just sat down, jumped up as if bitten by something, and she said: "He Pingsheng, you are truly interesting!"

"I'm ignoring you..."

Liang Huaqiu left in a huff.

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out to shield his array layer by layer, took out a Yuan-Gathering Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Cultivation!

Cannot be delayed!

But just as he sat down, another fluctuation came from outside.

Wang Dun's voice came: "Brother, open the door quickly..."

Judging by the voice, it was quite urgent.

He Pingsheng opened the door and said: "Wang Shixiong Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Dun said urgently: "Close the array and then talk!"

He Pingsheng quickly closed the array, and Wang Dun had already taken out a jade box.

His face was dark as he said: "Just now... the Qi Guo cultivator sent me something and asked me to pass it to you..."

"Brother, you had better be mentally prepared!"

"Look..."

Click!

Wang Dun opened the foot-long jade box.

Inside lay a pale blue arm.

"Hiss..." Seeing this arm, He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "What is the meaning of this?"

"I don't know!" Wang Dun said: "The person who delivered it said to tell you to look carefully and see if you recognize whose arm this is!"

He Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.

Whose arm?

Damn it, they didn't find my wife Qiao Huizhu, did they?

He walked over with a trembling heart and a nervous expression, his gaze falling carefully upon the arm.

He picked it up and took a look.

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

This was not his wife Qiao Huizhu's arm.

He couldn't recognize whose arm it was either, but a faint aura still lingered on it.

He Pingsheng closed his eyes and took a deep sniff with his nose.

Such a thick smell of blood.

But a cultivator's spiritual sense and memory are not comparable to an ordinary person's; from this thick smell of blood, He Pingsheng still smelled a familiar scent.

His face turned iron-blue.

Even his whole body trembled.

"Junior Brother, what's wrong?" Wang Dun asked: "This... whose is it?"

He Pingsheng closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, then placed the arm back into the jade box and said: "It is... a Qiao Shijie from the Tai Xu Men!"

"Tai Xu Men?" Wang Dun's body shook: "Is it from your Xiuzhu Peak?"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng nodded: "A Qiao Shijie surnamed Zhao; I haven't seen her for sixty years, and the last time I sent people to look for her, they couldn't find her!"

"I didn't expect that she had actually been captured by the Qi Guo royal family!"

"Damn it!"

He Pingsheng thought of more.

Zhao Linger was confirmed to be in the hands of the Qi Guo royal family, so what about Master Yu Ning?

What about Elder Yu Xuan?

And Xu Kunlun, Tian Xiaoqing...

Where are they?

They weren't all captured, were they?

What does it mean for Qi Guo to send me this now?

"What?"

In the main hall, Zhen Yu looked shocked: "You want to go find Long Yuan of Qi Guo?"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng said: "Something happened, and I need to go ask him clearly!"

"Not a moment can be wasted!"

"However, please rest assured, Senior; no matter what, under no circumstances will I betray the interests of Liang Guo, nor is it possible for me to make any concessions to them in the Nine Nations Grand Competition!"

He Pingsheng's gaze was burning.

He wanted to go ask Long Yuan, but this matter had to be reported to Zhen Yu in advance.

Otherwise, Zhen Yu would think he had some interest exchange with Qi Guo.

"How about this!" Zhen Yu said: "I will go with you!"

"No need!" He Pingsheng waved his hand: "No need to trouble you, Senior; my Wang Shixiong can just go with me!"

"It's all just old history!"

"Long Yuan can't do anything to me!"

"True!" Zhen Yu said: "After all, this is the Holy Mountain!"

"If Long Yuan dares to make a move against you, I could slap all the people of Qi Guo to death with one hand!"

"Go ahead!"

Having obtained Zhen Yu's permission, He Pingsheng took Wang Dun with him, and the two stepped into the Qi Guo villa together.

Five chapters presented, ladies, please show some love.
