When Qi Tai stepped into the main hall of Lingtian Palace, he saw a dozen people standing and not taking their seats. Qi Tai took a closer look and saw that they were people from the Ancient Sword Sect. Qi Tai took a closer look again and found that there were people in the main hall.
In front of the coffee table, there are signs with the names of various holy places, but only the name of the Ancient Sword Sect is not there. In other words, the other four holy places that come as guests have places, but the Ancient Sword Sect does not!
Qi Taiyi secretly said something bad, and sure enough, all the disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect looked at him angrily, and their eyes were about to burst out with fire. Qi Taiyi laughed and said: "I'm so sorry, Elder Shenyan, the disciples of the despised sect don't
You know the rules, but I forgot to prepare more chairs when I was getting ready. I’m really sorry! Someone, please come!”
A disciple immediately ran in outside the door, and Qi Taiyi ordered in a low voice: "Quickly go and bring a dozen chairs. If it's late, prepare to go to the punishment hall to accept the punishment!" The disciple saw that Qi Taiyi looked wrong, and he didn't look like one.
He looked like he was lying, and when he thought of the torture in the Punishment Hall, he couldn't help but shudder, and said, "Disciple, let's do it now!" After that, he ran out as fast as he could.
Linghu Heng said coldly and sarcastically: "It doesn't matter, the Ancient Sword Sect hasn't appeared for a long time, no wonder you have forgotten it. But standing is not bad, at least you can be condescending, right?"
Qi Taiyi's old face suddenly turned red and said: "This is indeed the mistake of the inferior sect. Please calm down, young hero!"
Just as Linghu Heng was about to say something else, the Taoist Taoist of Silence scolded him in a low voice: "Silence!" Linghu Heng finally moved his lips and said nothing more.
Not long after, a dozen Lingtian Palace disciples filed in. Each one carried a chair and placed it respectfully behind the Ancient Sword Sect disciples before retreating one by one. Immediately afterwards, another disciple carried a chair.
Tea was brought and the cups were filled.
Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Silence did not have so many requests. When he saw that there was a place to sit and tea to drink, he didn't say much. He sat down and took a sip of tea. Linghu Heng sat down angrily, but didn't say much.
The atmosphere in the main hall seemed very abnormal for a while. Everyone was silent. Even Qi Taiyi couldn't find what to say. At this moment, a loud voice came from behind the main hall: "Haha, everyone has come from afar.
, Gongsun Wei was not able to greet him from a distance, which is really disrespectful. I apologize to you all here!" As he spoke, a burly figure walked out from behind the main hall, it was Gongsun Wei, the master of Lingtian Palace.
When he appeared, the elders of the other five holy places did not dare to neglect him. They all stood up and cupped their hands, saying: "It doesn't matter. Palace Master Gongsun is naturally busy with everything, so it is understandable that he could not greet him from afar."
Gongsun Wei motioned for everyone to sit down, and then slowly said: "The venue for the competition is ready, and my participating disciples from Lingtian Palace are also ready. If you have had enough rest, let's go to the competition venue!"
Elder Luo Mei of Lingyun Sect said: "The disciples have been traveling for days and must be extremely tired. It is better to wait until noon to start!"
Gongsun Wei did not object. He did not want to put the truth in this regard and let everyone say that Lingtian Palace took advantage of others' danger. Gongsun Wei still paid attention to the reputation of Lingtian Palace, otherwise he would not have worked so hard to run Lingtian Palace.
However, he is quite talented. He took advantage of the opportunity when the Ancient Sword Sect was in decline and made Lingtian Palace's strength make a qualitative leap in just a few decades. It is almost the same as the Ancient Sword Sect in its heyday.
Gongsun Wei said calmly: "Then let's start at noon. If you want to take a rest, our sect has prepared many private rooms. You can ask your disciples to take them there. Protector Qi, let's retire first!"
The elders of all the factions present here cupped their hands and said, "Palace Master Gongsun, go slowly!"
Qi Taiyi stopped staying and followed Gongsun Wei out of the main hall. After Gongsun Wei led Qi Taiyi into his study, he motioned for Qi Taiyi to close the door, and then asked: "This time, each faction
How is your strength?"
Qi Taiyi thought about it carefully and said: "This time, the strength of each faction is very powerful, especially the one who leads the team from Yaoshen Valley. According to my subordinates, he has been promoted to the golden body stage."
Gongsun Wei frowned and said, "Fan Mu is only at the late stage of Nascent Soul. After using my Fantian Seal, can he defeat the guys from Medicine God Valley?"
Qi Tai thought for a while and said: "It should be no problem. Although the gap in cultivation is there, the guys in Yaoshen Valley probably don't have much practical experience. If Fan Mu can secretly use Fantian Seal, it should be no problem to defeat him.
of."
Gongsun Wei nodded and said: "That's good! I hope to win the first place again this time and not be robbed by Baolin Temple like thirty years ago!"
Qi Taiyi assured him: "I promise that nothing will go wrong!"
Gongsun Wei nodded, and the two were silent for a while before Gongsun Wei said, "How are the people from the Ancient Sword Sect?"
Qi Tai thought for a while and said: "It's not a big deal. They are all in the early stage of Yuanying. The ones with the highest cultivation level are only in the middle stage of Yuanying. However, there is one person whose subordinates cannot see through his cultivation level."
Gongsun Wei said with some surprise: "Oh, is there such a thing? Is it possible that his cultivation level is higher than yours?" In the world of immortality, those who have higher cultivation level than others will find out the clues easily or with difficulty.
, knowing the details of the other party. But if you are completely unable to see through the other party's cultivation level, it will only happen if the other party's cultivation level is much higher than your own.
Qi Taiyi was also confused and said: "My subordinates can't figure out what's going on. It's just that the person's cultivation level is really hard to tell, but I can be sure that his cultivation level will not exceed the Nascent Soul stage. He
It should be that some kind of secret method has been used to block the fluctuations of one's own spiritual power." Why is Qi Taiyi so sure? The reason is that people who have reached the golden body stage will have a faint golden light all over their bodies. If they don't pay attention to it completely,
It cannot be seen. But once the spiritual power is used, there will be a faint golden light in the spiritual power. This is the most striking feature of the golden body stage. The reason why Qi Taiyi is so sure is because he did not see that trace.
Golden light shines through.
So who is Qi Taiyi talking about? Naturally, it’s Linghu Heng who has different pupils. Let alone Qi Taiyi, even if his cultivation is as strong as that of a tall and short old man, he can only vaguely detect Linghu Heng’s cultivation, not to mention Qi Tai
one?
Gongsun Wei pondered for a while and said: "Since we have not reached the golden body stage, there is nothing to be afraid of. Fan Mu, who has Fantian Seal, let alone a small Yuanying stage sword cultivator, even if he is at the golden body stage
All the sword cultivators are capable of fighting!"
Qi Tai nodded and said, "My subordinates think so too!"
Gongsun Wei waved his hand and said: "You go down, you will be in charge at noon. I need to calm down for a while. Anyway, this competition meeting is not held for a while."
Qi Taiyi felt unhappy for a while, but he did not dare to show it in front of Gongsun Wei, so he could only say: "Then my subordinate resigned..." After that, he bowed and exited the study, and also opened the door.
Why didn't Gongsun Wei preside over it himself? The reason is very simple. There was something wrong with his body! Whenever it was midnight, his body would become hot and cold, accompanied by severe pain. Fortunately, Gongsun Wei had a strong mind and
Otherwise, he would have collapsed long ago. This was what happened after he swallowed the pill given by the mysterious messenger. If he had not swallowed it, he would have committed suicide long ago. The pain was like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, and like being eaten by thousands of ants.
It is simply unbearable!
It was almost noon, and Gongsun Wei felt that the pain had started to attack again. Cold sweat began to ooze out of him, half of his face was blue and half of his face was red, as if he was polarized. He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and his nails were already wet.
It sank deeply into the palm of my hand, and the blood began to seep out, falling to the ground drop by drop, and it accumulated into a pool after a while...
At this time, the participating disciples and elders from the Five Holy Lands had followed the disciples from Lingtian Palace to the competition venue. Almost all the participating disciples were shocked by the luxury of the venue: there were nine towering competition platforms in the competition venue, which were about 50 meters wide.
It is ten feet long, round on the outside and square on the inside, which is in accordance with the laws of nature. The platform is paved with pure white marble, and there are carvings of dragons and phoenixes around it. It is not so much a competition platform as it is a tall architectural work of art.
.
At the moment when everyone was shocked, the disciples of Lingtian Palace cast contemptuous glances, as if they were laughing because they had never seen the world, but they were used to it.
At this time, Qi Taiyi appeared on the viewing platform behind the competition platform and said loudly: "Everyone, it is already noon. Qi would like to ask if you are all ready?"
Wu Zhen quietly pulled Linghu Heng and said, "It's about to start, junior brother, I'm a little nervous!"
Linghu Heng also whispered: "Why are you nervous? The old Taoist priests are all here!"
Wu Zhen's face drooped: "It's because Master is here that I'm nervous!"
Linghu Heng was a little amused: "I'm not asking you to take first place, just do your best. I'm sure Master won't blame me!"
Wu Zhen also figured it out: "Yes, just try your best, junior brother, you are smarter!"
Linghu Heng stopped talking, because Qi Taiyi had already asked the team leaders to submit their entry lists, and the draw was about to begin. How could he take care of Wu Zhen?
According to Linghu Heng's observation, Ling Tiangong has not done anything wrong since he first entered the door, but Linghu Heng doesn't believe that Ling Tiangong will not do anything! After all, Ling Tiangong gave Linghu Heng a bad feeling, and he didn't like it at all.
!
"Hey, what is this?" Although Linghu Heng was far away from the viewing platform, it could not block his strange eyes. He clearly saw Qi Tai holding a handful of pieces of paper in his hand and mixing them into the extraction box.
inside, and then took out the original picture. Although Qi Taiyi's movements were very secretive, none of them could escape the strange pupils that Linghu Heng specially observed, even though Linghu Heng was far away!
"As expected! I knew you could do tricks!" Linghu Heng smiled contemptuously in his heart, and he looked down on Ling Tiangong from the bottom of his heart. However, he did not meddle in his own business, after all, Qi Taiyi was not targeting him. Linghu Heng
He clearly saw that the piece of paper Qi Taiyi was holding was written "Fan Mu", and at this moment, "Fan Mu"'s name had been written on the battle table, and Fan Mu's opponent was a female disciple of Lingyun Sect.
Linghu Heng looked at this scene with a sneer, but did not criticize it, because he was right next to Fan Mu. If Fan Mu won, his opponent would definitely be Linghu Heng. Linghu Heng was also 100% confident that he could win.
"Let's see how I can destroy your good deeds then!" Linghu Heng secretly said cruelly.
Not long after, the drawing of lots was completed. With Qi Taiyi's announcement, followed by several drums, the competition officially began! (To be continued)
