At this time, Duan Lingtian's eyes also fell on Jing Xuzi.
He had already heard about this talented Taoist cultivator in Chongxiao Mansion, and knew that his strength was on par with Monk Hua's, and that he and Monk Hua were both stronger than the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, 'Xu Jing'.
Of course, saying they are better than Xu Jing only means that they were better than Xu Jing in the past.
Tomorrow is the day when the ranking competition of "Chongxiao Ranking" officially begins. For the arrival of this day, the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, 'Xu Jing', must have made full preparations.
In fact, even Chongxiao Mansion must have spared no effort to cultivate him recently and invested a lot of cultivation resources in him.
Therefore, even Duan Lingtian does not dare to conclude that Monk Hua and Jing Xuzi can defeat Xu Jing now.
Of course, although he did not dare to conclude, subconsciously, he still felt that Monk Hua and Jing Xuzi should be better than Xu Jing.
"Zhong Gu is here too!"
Another low cry came, attracting the attention of many people including Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian took a quick look and found an ordinary-looking young man in plain clothes coming from a distance. He was carrying a broad sword on his back. The broad sword did not have a scabbard, but was just wrapped in layers of tight cloth.
The plain cloth made his whole person look extremely low-key.
However, although this young man in plain clothes kept a low profile, he still alarmed many people when he appeared in Linglong Canyon.
Just because he is ‘Zhong Gu’!
If we say that among the generation of adults under the age of fifty in Chongxiao Mansion, the most outstanding ones are Hua Monk and Jingxuzi, then under Hua Monk and Jingxuzi, except for Xu Jing, the young master of Chongxiao Mansion,
That's him.
Zhong Gu once defeated Xu Jing, who was also at the peak of the Little Saint Realm.
However, when Xu Jing later broke through to the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm, he was no longer an opponent.
However, Zhong Gu has now broken through to the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm. If Xu Jing is still at the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm, he may not be Zhong Gu's opponent.
Of course, it is very unlikely that Xu Jing is still in the early stage of the Middle Saint Realm.
After all, he is still the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, a fourth-rate power.
Monk Hua, Jing Xuzi and Zhong Gu appeared one after another, attracting the attention of most people in Linglong Canyon.
Duan Lingtian, who was standing in the air not far from Hua Monk, did not attract anyone's attention because he was unfamiliar with him. Only Hua Monk seemed to be quite interested in him at first.
However, after some testing, Monk Hua didn't find anything different about Duan Lingtian, which made him a little puzzled. After finally saying hello to Duan Lingtian, he left and returned to the corner of Linglong Canyon where Brahma Temple and others were.
As for the Chunyang Temple group, including Jing Xuzi, they have now settled in Linglong Canyon.
As a casual cultivator, Zhong Gu did not have such a big pomp. He found a place alone and rested quietly. He did not speak to anyone from beginning to end, and seemed extremely indifferent.
As time passed, in the afternoon, the last person from the fifth-rate force came.
Of course, some people from this fifth-rate force came to take the lead before and occupied a corner of Linglong Canyon as a habitat, so after these people came, they stayed there.
Although this fifth-rate force does not have as outstanding talented disciples as Monk Hua from Brahma Temple and Jing Xuzi from Chunyang Temple, they do not lack talented disciples. Many people came this time, ready to participate in tomorrow's event.
The "Sky Ranking" ranking battle.
Of course, they wouldn't dare to think about being in the top three of the "Sky List".
In fact, even if they were ranked fourth in the "Chongxiao Ranking", they didn't dare to think about it.
In the opinion of most people in the Chongxiao Mansion area, the top ten in the "Chongxiao Ranking" this time, if nothing unexpected happens, must be Monk Hua, Chong Xuzi, Xu Jing and Zhong Gu.
Of course, although it is said that there are no accidents, how could there be so many accidents?
Therefore, many people have almost concluded that the top four in the "Chongxiao Ranking" this time are undoubtedly the four of them.
The goal set by this fifth-rate force for its disciples is to be in the top ten of the "Chongxiao Ranking".
Soon, dusk fell, and the sky above Linglong Canyon seemed to be dyed red, completely turning into blood.
"The people from Chongxiao Mansion haven't come yet?"
Many people looked around, but no one noticed the arrival of anyone from Chongxiao Mansion.
Of course, there are people from Chongxiao Mansion in Linglong Canyon, but they are sent by Chongxiao Mansion to lead the battle, and the leader is only the ninth elder of Chongxiao Mansion.
"What's going on in Chongxiao Mansion? Are you planning to come here tomorrow?"
"It's impossible...According to the previous rules of the "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking competition, it starts when the sky turns white. This time should be no exception. Therefore, it is impossible for people from Chongxiao Mansion to come tomorrow.
There’s no way we can make it in time.”
"It's not just Chongxiao Mansion... there are also two other people from the fourth-rate forces who haven't come yet."
"Those two strong men from the fourth-rate forces, following the ancestral precepts of their respective forces, will come to our Chongxiao Mansion area every fifty years to maintain the absolute fairness of the "Chongxiao Ranking" in our Chongxiao Mansion.
!”
"Generally speaking, they come with people from Chongxiao Mansion."
…
In Linglong Canyon, discussions continued and it was very lively.
"The other two fourth-rate forces..."
Even Duan Lingtian only recently learned that there will be two other people from the fourth-rate forces coming during the "Sky Ranking" ranking battle.
The people from the four streams of power who came here were all strong men in their respective powers.
These strong men came to the ranking battle of "Chongxiao Ranking" not because of the invitation of Chongxiao Mansion, but to follow the training of their respective forces... A long time ago, when "Chongxiao Ranking" was born, for
To ensure fairness, the person presiding over the "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking battle is not the Chongxiao Mansion, but two other strong men from the fourth-rate forces.
Those two fourth-rate forces are not as strong as Chongxiao Mansion.
Therefore, the strong men who come out of them are naturally not afraid of Chongxiao Mansion. In this way, they don't have to worry about the people of Chongxiao Mansion using their power to suppress others or even cheating.
Because of this, the ranking battle in "Sky Ranking" can be said to be very fair.
After learning all this, Duan Lingtian also breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, even if I kill the young master of Chongxiao Mansion 'Xu Jing' in the "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking match, the strong men of Chongxiao Mansion will not
Dare to take action against me in front of two other strong men from the fourth-rate forces."
He has only one purpose for appearing here today, and that is to kill the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, ‘Xu Jing’, and save Xue Nai from the fire and water!
As for the ranking on the "Chongxiao Ranking", he doesn't care.
Not to mention that he is not from the Chongxiao Mansion area and does not need such an honor. Even if he is, he has no interest in "Chongxiao List".
Just a false name.
Along the way, he has experienced so much that he has long been indifferent to this.
"Coming! Coming!!"
It wasn't until an exclamation came that Duan Lingtian came back to his senses and followed the gazes of most people in Linglong Canyon.
In the distance, high in the sky, a group of people were coming in force.
After these people got closer, they could vaguely see that they were divided into three waves, and the three waves of people walked side by side, in no particular order.
"It's the Great Elder of Chongxiao Mansion, Xu Cen!"
I don't know who had sharp eyes and looked at the group of people walking in the middle. To be precise, he looked at the leader of the group of people.
It was an old man with a beard all over his face. The old man's hair and brows were both snow-white, and his beard was also white. From a distance, the whole person looked like a white lion, which invisibly brought a certain charm to people.
pressure.
He is none other than the Great Elder of Chongxiao Mansion, Xu Cen.
In Chongxiao Mansion, even if Xu Cen's strength cannot be ranked in the top three, there is still no problem in ranking in the top five.
Therefore, his arrival shocked many people.
Xu Cen's status in Chongxiao Mansion is second only to the master of Chongxiao Mansion, the two deputy masters of Chongxiao Mansion, and the supreme elder who never sees the dragon.
"I didn't expect Elder Xu Cen to come in person... It seems that Chongxiao Mansion attaches great importance to this "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking competition."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? The "Chongxiao List" is the most authoritative list in our Chongxiao Mansion region. It is of great significance. As the most powerful force in the Chongxiao Mansion region, Chongxiao Mansion does not value it.
Is it normal?”
"Huh? Why didn't you see the young master of Chongxiao Mansion?"
"Yes. What about 'Xu Jing', the young master of Chongxiao Mansion?"
…
As the discussion spread, everyone discovered that one of the protagonists of this "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking competition, Xu Jing, did not seem to be here with the Great Elder of Chongxiao Mansion and others.
"Isn't Xu Jing not coming?"
"Impossible! Xu Jing, after all, is the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, and his talent is not bad, how could he miss this "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking competition."
"That's right. The "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking competition is held every fifty years, and there is an age limit. That is, a person only has one chance to participate in the "Chongxiao Ranking" ranking competition in his life. How can he
Maybe he won’t come.”
"Even if he doesn't want fame, he definitely wants to be the next head of Chongxiao Mansion, right? As far as I know, in Chongxiao Mansion, those who have not entered the "Chongxiao Ranking" in their lifetime are destined to be impossible to become the head of Chongxiao Mansion.
...This is the rule of Chongxiao Mansion, and it is also an iron law, and it has been like this since ancient times."
"I've heard about it too. It's just that the Chongxiao Mansion's large forces have arrived, but Xu Jing, the young master of the Mansion, hasn't shown up yet. What's going on?"
"Maybe he encountered some unexpected situation."
…
In Linglong Canyon, the fact that Xu Jing had not arrived yet caused a commotion.
"Huh! What a big racket!"
"In terms of strength, Monk Hua and Jing Xuzi are much stronger than him. He hasn't come yet, so why are you putting on airs?"
"Young Master of Chongxiao Mansion... tsk tsk, if he didn't have such a halo, but put him in Brahma Temple and Chunyang Temple, I'm afraid he would have been suppressed by Monk Hua and Jing Xuzi long ago and couldn't hold his head up."
…
Inside Linglong Canyon, things were getting more and more lively, and many people began to ridicule the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, Xu Jing.
