?"this...."

While Xing Jue was puzzled, Daoyang was even more shocked, and a sense of uneasiness surged into his heart. ""

His attack was no small feat, and just as the previous attack collapsed, he felt a powerful force.

"As expected, it's the Deputy Palace Master, Daoyang. You saved me the time of interrogating you."

Just when Xing Jue and Dao Yang were confused, the space in front of Xing Jue squirmed, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Pumpkin?"

At this moment, Xing Jue couldn't help but be overjoyed, because the person who appeared in front of him was Mr. Pumpkin, who had been beaten into blood by Daoyang earlier.

But what makes Xing Jue most happy is that at this moment, Mr. Pumpkin not only has a red face, but also his clothes are intact. This shows from the side that Mr. Pumpkin does have strong strength.

"You're such a bad old man, how can you escape my attack?"

After meeting Mr. Pumpkin, although Daoyang's appearance remained unchanged, his eyes actually became more solemn.

"Hahaha, with the strength of your little Shura warrior, do you really think you can kill me?"

Mr. Pumpkin suddenly burst out laughing, his voice piercing the rainbow, like thousands of thunders, exploding in his ears, and even the dark space was trembling.

"You...who are you?"

At this moment, Daoyang, who was still arrogant before, turned extremely pale, and he finally realized that something was wrong.

Mr. Pumpkin has been lurking in the Holy Alliance Mansion for many years. His identity is very mysterious. No one among the senior disciples dares to provoke him. Even many elders are very afraid of him.

However, Daoyang was different. He was the captain of the Punishment Department. Even though he knew that Mr. Pumpkin's identity was not simple, he had never taken him seriously. But now, he finally had to face this mysterious old man.

"Who am I? I just want you to meet me."

Suddenly, Mr. Pumpkin's body turned into a mist, and the mist rose into the sky, filling the world in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Xing Jue's eyes were filled with white light. Even his soul could not penetrate the mist and could not observe any changes.

However, the white mist only lasted for a moment. When it dissipated, Mr. Pumpkin had returned to the ocean and was standing in front of him again.

As for Daoyang, he actually knelt in mid-air, not even daring to raise his head. All he could see was the shaking of his body, which showed the fear in his heart.

"Sir..." Suddenly, Daoyang spoke, his trembling voice obviously wanting to ask for mercy.

"Buzz"

"Uh-huh"

However, before he could finish his words, Mr. Pumpkin waved his sleeves, and Daoyang's body turned into a ray of light, blending into Mr. Pumpkin's sleeves and being subdued by him.

"this..."

Seeing such a scene, Xing Jue could no longer remain calm. The high-level Shura warrior actually had no ability to fight back. This showed what kind of strength Mr. Pumpkin possessed.

"Xingjue, let's go."

In response to Xing Jue's surprised look, Mr. Pumpkin just smiled indifferently. At the same time, Xing Jue's body floated up involuntarily.

It began to fly towards the outside of the cave at the speed of light, and it was several times faster than before.

Xing Jue was not surprised by this change, because he knew that the speed at this moment was Mr. Pumpkin's true strength.

Under the guidance of Mr. Pumpkin, the journey that should have taken several hours was completed in just a moment.

After flying out of the dark cave, what appeared in front of them was the blazing day. Xingjue and his wife finally returned to the West Branch Mansion.

Leaving the Tiandong, Mr. Pumpkin slowed down again. He was no longer the super expert, but the careless old man he used to be.

Mr. Pumpkin flew towards a continent with Xingjue in his hands.

Before you even get close, you can hear the deafening shouts and see the densely packed sea of ​​people.

Don't think too much, that's where the competition for the head office spot will be held.

However, when Xing Jue and others entered the mainland and saw the empty competition platform and the hundreds of senior disciples standing on the floating high platform, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

Those hundred disciples were all in high spirits and their faces were glowing, and Xing Jue knew three of them.

His beloved woman Li Xiaohan, Li Xiaohan's good sister Li Yuran, and the so-called genius of the Tao clan, Dao Jingtian.

At this moment, a hundred of them were standing on a high platform, and the sea of ​​people around them was emitting endless cheers.

This probably means that the competition for the places in the general office has ended, and Li Xiaohan and the others are the ones who have successfully obtained the places.

"Xiaohan and Senior Sister Li succeeded, so it's good that they entered the headquarters before me. This may be a good thing."

After a meaningful glance at Li Xiaohan and Li Yuran, Xing Jue suddenly smiled with relief. Although he missed this opportunity, he was still happy for Li Xiaohan and Li Yuran.

"Brother Xingjue!"

But at this moment, Li Xiaohan also sensed Xing Jue's gaze, and she flew away from the floating platform and rushed towards Xing Jue, regardless of everyone's opinions.

At the same time, Li Yuran also rushed over with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xingjue, it's great that you're okay. Are the blood talisman poisonous insects under control?"

When Li Xiaohan came to Xing Jue, she kept sizing him up. Seeing that Xing Jue was not only safe and sound, but also full of energy, she narrowed her tender eyes and smiled sweetly.

Some time ago, Li Xiaohan practiced in seclusion, hoping to use the power given by Master Longfeng to achieve a breakthrough.

When he came out of seclusion and learned that Xing Jue had been harmed by the poisonous blood talisman insect, he was worried. Now that he saw that Xing Jue was fine, he was naturally very happy.

"Xiaohan, did you successfully break through?"

Xing Jue was also very happy to see Li Xiaohan, because he could feel that Li Xiaohan had now made a successful breakthrough into the middle-level Shura Soul.

"Well, brother Xing Jue, we can finally enter the headquarters together." Li Xiaohan smiled happily.

"Enter the headquarters together?" However, upon hearing this, Xing Jue looked confused and had a look of confusion on his face.

"Don't brother Xingjue know?"

"But Senior Sister Li clearly told me that Brother Xing Jue has obtained a quota to enter the headquarters, so he asked me to participate in the competition for this quota."

Seeing the change in Xing Jue's face, Li Xiaohan suddenly understood and cast his puzzled gaze on Li Yuran beside him.

"Mr. Pumpkin, didn't you say that you want me and sister Xiaohan to safely participate in the competition for the place in the general office? Junior Brother Xingjue has already won the place in the general office?"

Facing the looks of Li Xiaohan and Xing Jue, Li Yuran looked at Mr. Pumpkin with aggrieved eyes. It turned out that all of this was caused by Mr. No wonder.

"Hey, you two girls, don't look at me like this. Will I lie to you?"

"Although the overall situation has been decided now, the quota to enter the headquarters is still up for grabs." Mr. Pumpkin scratched his messy hair and smiled, very obscenely.

"Fight for it? How to fight for it? Now that the competition for a spot in the general office has ended, brother Xing Jue has not participated. Can you give him a spot?"

After learning that she had been tricked, Li Xiaohan became angry. If she had not listened to Li Yuran and learned that Xing Jue had obtained a quota in the general office, she would never have participated in this year's quota competition.

Because even if he promised Fairy Ying to help her get the Five Elements Key, Li Xiaohan would rather stay with Xing Jue.

"Xiaohan, I think Mr. Pumpkin must have his own way."

Seeing this, Xing Jue smiled and stroked Li Xiaohan's silky hair. Knowing that Mr. Pumpkin had great powers, he believed that it was no wonder that Mr. Pumpkin would not play tricks on them. Since he had told Li Yuran so, he must have his own method.

"The method is very simple. Challenge those who have already obtained the quota. As long as you defeat them, you can naturally replace them." Mr. Pumpkin said easily.

"Well, now that the quota selection has ended, is there a reason to challenge?" Li Xiaohan was still full of anger, thinking that this was nonsense.

"Hey, how will you know if you don't try?"

"Xingjue, go ahead, challenge the people you want to challenge, and do what you want to do. I will bear the consequences for you."

The smile on Mr. Pumpkin's face did not change, and he patted Xing Jue's shoulder meaningfully.

At this moment, Xing Jue's face was also filled with a bright smile, and he already understood the meaning of Mr. Pumpkin's words.

As soon as he turned around, he turned his attention to another floating high platform, where all the high-level officials of the West Branch Mansion were gathered.

In addition to Lord Punishment and the Deputy Palace Master, sitting on the centermost seat was an old man in gray robe wearing a bamboo hat.

The aura of this old man was like that of a mortal, and Xing Jue couldn't see through it at all, but for some reason, it gave Xing Jue a familiar feeling.

But there is no need to think too much, Xing Jue already knows the identity of this person. He is obviously the master of the West Branch Mansion, the man whose head and tail the dragon has never seen.

Ever since Li Xiaohan and Li Yuran flew towards Xingjue, Xingjue has become the focus of everyone's attention. At this moment, Xingjue turned his attention to the master of the palace, which caused everyone to whisper.

Because they always feel that this boy who is fearless may do something incredible again.

"Master of the Palace, my disciple Xing Jue has something to ask of you." Sure enough, Xing Jue clasped his hands in fists and said to the aloof Master of the Palace.

"What's the matter? Tell me." An old and hoarse voice came from under the hat.

"Master of the Palace, I, Xing Jue, am unable to participate in the competition for the quota to enter the Palace in time due to some matters."

"However, this disciple does not want to miss this opportunity. I hope that the master of the palace can give this disciple a chance."

"How presumptuous, do you know who you are talking to? You have violated the rules of my West Branch Mansion, and you actually dare to ask for an opportunity from the Master of the Mansion?"

As soon as Ke Xingjue finished speaking, the deputy palace master sitting next to the master of the palace scolded sharply.

After seeing Xing Jue and Mr. Pumpkin appear, the deputy palace master knew that his plan failed. At this moment, he was extremely uneasy and did not understand why Daoyang with such strength failed.

But no matter what, he will not give him a chance to execute him, because he has promised to the Tao clan. If he cannot do it, even if he is the deputy head of the West Branch Mansion, he will face a lot of danger. After all, he has done what he has done

Things that cannot be seen in the light.
