This competition took place at First Pulse. Tang Ning and Su Mei arrived an hour before the competition and were placed in a stilted building.
The old beggar is a cancer in the eyes of the Wan Gu sect, like a street rat, and everyone shouts to beat him up. However, in the current Wan Gu sect, there are only three people who know him. Among them, the fourth elder and the eighth elder have been restrained, so naturally they dare not say anything.
, the Ninth Elder has been disabled in martial arts and imprisoned in the fourth line, so he can appear here arrogantly.
The place where the Eighth Meridian was placed was far away from the Tenth Meridian. As soon as the Eighth Elder entered the small building, someone walked in from outside.
After the eighth elder sat down, he glanced at him and asked, "What does the seventh elder want to see me for?"
The seventh elder looked at the people in the room and said, "You guys go out first."
Everyone looked at the eighth elder, who nodded and said, "You guys go out first."
After everyone left, the Seventh Elder sat opposite the Eighth Elder and said, "I am looking for the Eighth Elder this time to represent the elders of the other lineages to discuss a major matter with you."
The Seven Meridians joined forces to eliminate the Tenth Meridian first. It was their decision made by the Sixth Meridian. The Eighth Elder was not with them at that time, so as soon as the Eighth Elder arrived here, the Seventh Elder approached him on behalf of everyone.
The eighth elder glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
The seventh elder looked at him and said: "You also know that the woman from the tenth lineage has the strength of the ten elders. Unless we join forces, no one can stop her from becoming a saint."
The Eighth Elder said: "Every saint is fighting for her according to her own ability. If several lineages join forces to deal with her, wouldn't it be a disgrace to all our lines?"
The Seventh Elder did not expect that he would refuse, frowned and said: "You don't know that the Tenth Meridian has a close relationship with the former royal family. Over the years, they have been running around in order to restore the country. If the Tenth Meridian seizes the Saint, how can it be done?
Wouldn’t it involve our entire clan?”
The Guizhou Territory was once the territory of the Liang State, but only in name. The Liang State actually controlled the Dian Territory. The Gu people recuperated in the Guizhou Territory and were not under the jurisdiction of the Liang State at that time. They did not have much control over the Liang State.
The sense of belonging, even if the Liang Kingdom died, they did not feel it too deeply.
However, the Tenth Line has always been loyal to the Liang royal family and has been trying to regain the kingdom for more than ten years. If the position of the Saint falls to the Tenth Line, then the entire Gu clan will definitely be involved in this whirlpool.
This is one of the most important reasons why the various channels join forces to resist the tenth channel.
Although the Gu clan wants to elect a capable saint to revive the Wan Gu sect, they do not want to interfere with the restoration of the Liang Kingdom. Therefore, the position of the saint can fall into the hands of any lineage, but not
It falls on the tenth channel.
The order of the saint cannot be disobeyed. Once the position of saint is taken by the tenth lineage, they can only obey the decision made by the saint.
A month ago, the eighth elder would have naturally agreed to this proposal, but now his life is still in someone else's hands, how can he dare to openly oppose that person?
The Eighth Elder shook his head and said: "The Eighth Meridian will not participate in this competition."
"What?" The seventh elder had a look of astonishment on his face, and he couldn't believe his ears.
The battle for saints is a vital matter for any lineage. In order for the position of saints to fall to their lineage, the ninth elder did not hesitate to seriously violate canon rules and risk being punished.
Sneaking into Ten Thousand Gu Forest, now the Eighth Elder actually gave up this opportunity like this?
The Eighth Elder looked at him and repeated: "The Eighth Meridian will not participate in the battle of saints."
"Have you thought it through?"
The face of the Seventh Elder was a little ugly. The Fourth and Ninth Meridians were not qualified to participate in the competition because they violated the canon rules. So only the Seventh Meridian Saint was left. The strength of the Tenth Meridian is not weaker than that of the ten elders.
, there is not much chance of winning for seven people against one person. Now that the Eighth Meridian has withdrawn, there are only six people left among the seven, and their chances of winning are even less.
"So what if I become a saint, so what if I don't?" The eighth elder waved his hand and said: "I have already seen through it. Power is like a floating cloud to me. I don't care whether I can become a saint or not. I don't care whether the eighth meridian can grow.
, I don’t care, you can make trouble yourself if you want to..."
The more people joining, the better the chance of winning. The Seventh Elder wanted to persuade the Eighth Elder again, but his attitude was extremely firm. No matter how much he spat, he did not change his mind.
In the end, he could only wave his sleeves angrily and strode away.
When the seventh elder conveyed the eighth elder's intention to the elders, several of them were shocked.
"To give up the fight for the Saint, did he take the wrong medicine?"
"Our odds of winning are already low, so wouldn't this make it even lower?"
"This doesn't seem like his style. I'll ask him!"
…
The withdrawal of the Eighth Meridian would weaken the strength of their alliance. Several elders went to advise them in person, but they all came back disappointed.
The Eighth Elder has made up his mind not to participate in the fight for the Saint. They cannot make decisions for the Eighth Meridian and can only accept the reality.
Their only advantage is that they have more people, but even if six people join forces, the result is more losses than wins. Fortunately, the second elder is very knowledgeable about battle methods. In the past two days, he has spared no effort to teach six people the art of joint attack, so that now these six people
Working together, even they must be extremely careful.
…
A six-foot-high arena has already been set up in the First Meridian Village, which is also the venue for this seven-person competition.
Half an hour ago, the Eighth Elder sent a message to Tangning that the Eighth Meridian would withdraw from the competition for the Saint. At the same time, he told him that the other Six Meridians were preparing to join forces to deal with Su Mei, so that he should be on guard early.
This incident did not go beyond Tang Ning's expectations, and Su Mei had nothing to be wary of. From the very beginning, she had planned to use one against many.
The hour was approaching, and the seven candidates for the Saint came onto the stage one after another.
After taking the stage, the six people took out a gauze scarf from their arms and put it on, covering their mouths and noses tightly.
Gongsun Ying said: "They are indeed on guard. It seems that things will not be that easy this time."
Tang Ning learned from Gongsun Ying that this veil was no ordinary veil and had the effect of preventing smoke miasma and poisonous gas.
In this case, it is impossible to poison them silently.
And this competition is very important. The elders of Zhumai will definitely give them the most powerful poisonous insects, and Su Mei's advantage in the poisonous arts will no longer exist.
The poison technique is useless, and the poison technique is useless, but these two are what Su Mei is best at after learning the Ten Thousand Gu Poison Manual. It is obvious that they are completely teaming up to target her this time.
Tang Ning glanced at Gongsun Ying and Bai Jin and asked, "You are in the Gu clan, are you so unpopular?"
"It's just a despicable act." Bai Jin snorted coldly and said, "When she uses her strength to take the position of a saint, they will have nothing to say."
Tang Ning was not worried that they would regret it after Su Mei won. Under the spotlight, the ten elders would not do such a thing, and they were very obedient to the religious rules. Otherwise, they would not still be in the Wan Gu Sect after so many years of split.
I want to unite the ten meridians into one religion and regain the prestige of the past.
They just have their own selfish motives regarding the saint's belonging.
Tang Ning's guess was correct. As soon as the competition started, the six people formed an encirclement and surrounded Su Mei.
Not only that, when they take action, they imply some kind of formation change.
After seeing them change their formations several times, a strange look appeared on Tangning's face.
The Gu martial arts inheritance of the Ten Meridians all originated from the Ten Thousand Gus Poison Sutra. Su Mei was much more familiar with this set of formations recorded in the Ten Thousand Gus Poison Sutra than he was.
If they were to attack independently, Su Mei might have to take it seriously. What a coincidence that the six of them actually chose this formation recorded in the Ten Thousand Gu Poison Scripture, which was tantamount to completely exposing their weaknesses in front of Su Mei's eyes.
Under this situation, several people could not even maintain the most basic formation. Su Mei could find the weakness of the formation every time, and then throw one person off the ring...
The elders of the various veins watched blankly as Su Mei disrupted the formation of the six people again and again, causing them to scramble and be defeated one by one. When the saint candidate of the first vein was also thrown out of the ring, several elders stood there in a daze.
His face was extremely shocked.
After an unknown amount of time, the great elder sighed, looked at Su Mei with complex eyes, bowed and said, "See the Saint..."
This time, in full view of the public, she defeated six people in a dignified manner. Even if the ten elders were unwilling, they had to abide by the rules set from the beginning.
The elders of the various veins looked at each other, even though their eyes were full of helplessness, they followed the great elder and bowed down, saying loudly: "See the Saint..."
"See the Saint!"
The First Lineage clan members present knelt on their knees and their voices echoed throughout the valley.
