Gu Qing touched his nose and was speechless for a while. Unexpectedly, his retreat lasted exactly three months. No wonder he was misunderstood by this woman.
But remembering the promise he made before retreating, he nodded and said: "Let's go."
Before the two people left the cave, they first used a large formation to seal the cave. Outsiders were not allowed to enter without authorization unless they broke through the formation.
In the past three months, Sun Miaoke had already inquired about the location of the competition in Mu Mansion. He took Gu Qing to a small hilltop without taking much detours.
At this moment, monks are constantly coming from a distance driving the escape light. After landing at the bottom of the mountain, they step up to the top of the mountain to participate in this Mu Mansion guard competition. The top of the mountain occupies an area of ten miles in radius and is about a hundred feet high.
The top of the mountain was cut into ten huge platforms using great supernatural powers. Each platform was surrounded by restrictions. The monks who came from all over the place wanted to compete on these platforms.
At this time, thousands of people had gathered below, pointing at the high platform and talking to each other. However, most of these people came to watch the fun, and not many actually wanted to participate in the competition. Of course,
, there is not a single monk in the psychic stage.
This is because major aristocratic families have announced to the outside world that any monk in the psychic stage can join their family unconditionally, become an internal disciple of the family, and receive assistance from a large number of cultivation resources given by the family. These people,
There is no need to participate in this form of competition.
By noon, the number of monks gathered below has reached tens of thousands. Looking down from above, all you can see is a dark mass, like a swarm of ants squirming. However, these people are all orderly, even talking to each other.
Keep your voice as low as possible.
Of course, the cultivation levels of these people also vary. You can even see some Nascent Souls, low-level monks in the God Transformation stage, and occasionally you can see a few monks in the Pill Formation stage walking around.
Gu Qing followed a group of people to the front of a high platform, randomly picked a number, turned it over in his hand, and found it written in ancient Chinese on it: "Third place on platform C."
He smiled slightly and hid the number plate in his sleeve. The No. C platform in it refers to the third high platform.
"Have you learned all about the rules of this competition?" Sun Miaoke didn't know when she squeezed beside Gu Qing again and asked impatiently.
"Of course," Gu Qing said with a chuckle, "it's actually nothing. A total of ten guards will be selected in the Mu Mansion this time, and each guard and captain will need a total of five people. Therefore, on each high platform, in addition to selecting five
In addition to the ordinary guards, we also need to choose a captain."
"Is there just one captain? I thought we could select a leader!" Hearing this, Sun Miaoke was disappointed for a while.
Gu Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is not easy to hold the position of leader in a big family. Generally, leaders are held by monks in the spiritual stage. Moreover, these people have to be loyal to the family and go through many difficulties.
It takes hard work. I'm just a newcomer, how can I be promoted to commander all of a sudden?"
"Gee, that's true. However, even if you can become a captain, you will be able to establish yourself in this Golden Thunder City in the future. By then, my mission will be completed, and I can go out to work with the clan!
"Sun Miaoke chuckled and finally revealed his purpose.
Gu Qing had known her wishful thinking for a long time, so he listened to her instigation and came to participate in this competition. This woman had helped him a lot along the way. He did not want to let her suffer because of his own selfishness.
She wasted her time here and abandoned her cultivation.
A hunchbacked old man in his sixties slowly climbed onto the stone platform No. C. His aura was restrained, and it was hard to tell what kind of cultivation he had.
The hunchbacked old man cupped his hands downward and said: "I, Mu Ziliang, the director of the Mu Mansion, have been entrusted by the head of the family to preside over this competition on platform C. Please come one by one in order. At the same time, this time
The competition is over, and you are not allowed to take lives at will. However, if you really accidentally miss someone and hurt someone, I hope that fellow Taoist will not feel resentful. Okay, after I have finished speaking, please talk to No. 1
Number two comes on stage."
Following the hunchbacked old man's words, a blue-robed and a purple-robed monk immediately jumped onto the stone platform at the same time. They handed a jade plaque in their hands to the hunchbacked old man. After confirming their identities, the hunchbacked old man stood aside.
.At the same time, light flashed around the entire stone platform, countless streams of light crossed and passed through, and a huge light mask suddenly appeared, covering the entire stone platform underneath.
These two people were separated as late-stage monks at the same time, but one of them was at the peak of the late stage of separation, and the other was just advanced, so there was a huge gap in strength between them.
On the stone platform, the two people each used their magical powers and magic weapons. They fought extremely fiercely and radiated light. However, after hitting the outer light barrier, these rays of light collapsed and disappeared. Everyone below saw
What a wonderful thing, a burst of applause immediately erupted.
Even Sun Miaoke, a girl like this, was fascinated by what she saw. After all, she was only in the out-of-body cultivation stage. By comparing herself with the competition of high-level monks, it would be of great help to her progress in cultivation.
Gu Qing just glanced at it casually, and when he saw the blue-robed monk looking like he was struggling, he concluded that he would definitely lose.
As he expected, after the two of them fought for more than half an hour, the blue-robed monk's flying sword was suddenly cut off by the person on the opposite side. At the same time, a red light hit him and made him fly.
A few feet away, blood spurted out from his mouth, looking like he was seriously injured.
Everyone below let out a sigh of regret at the same time.
Soon two Mu Mansion guards appeared. One of them took one of the man's arms and took him off. The hunchbacked old man announced that the purple-robed monk had won.
"No. 3 and No. 4, please come on stage to compete." The hunchbacked old man's voice sounded again.
When Gu Qing heard this, his body swayed, and he walked up to the high platform as lightly as an autumn leaf. After him, another middle-aged man in his forties came up.
This middle-aged man had a high nose, starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, dark skin, and looked very strong. When he came up, he cupped his fists and said, "I'm Liu Xinghan, fellow Taoist, please."
"I'm Gu Qing, please." Gu Qing also said his name.
This Liu Xinghan is also a monk in the early stage of pseudo-spirituality, and he has entered this realm for more than a hundred years, and has never had the opportunity to obtain the body of a fairy. This time, he plans to find an opportunity to enter the Mu Mansion, hoping that
Being able to gain the appreciation of the head of the Mu Mansion can help him.
"Start." The hunchbacked old man announced loudly.
Gu Qing and Liu Xinghan took a few steps back at the same time, widening the distance between them. At the same time, they each sacrificed their own magic weapons.
With a "crash" sound, the Five Immortals Divine Sword jumped out from Gu Qing's sleeves and swayed in the air. At the same time, the aura flashed and increased several times.
Although he was confident that he could definitely defeat this Liu Xinghan, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest, for fear that the boat would capsize in the gutter. With a finger, he divided the Five Immortals Divine Sword into three directions and shot towards Liu Xinghan. Without waiting for these flying
When the sword arrived at Liu Xinghan, Gu Qing recited a few spells, and the Five Immortals Divine Sword immediately transformed into two, and two gave birth to four... In the blink of an eye, thousands of sword lights appeared, dotted with stars, and magnificent momentum.
.
These sword lights are like raindrops, covering the surrounding space airtight.
"Sword array?"
When Liu Xinghan saw this, his heart was awe-inspiring. You must know that among all attack methods, the sword formation is one of the most difficult to control. Anyone who is proficient in this technique usually has an exquisite weapon control technique. At the same time,
It also shows that the Ming monk in front of him is an extremely difficult person to deal with.
He did not dare to neglect, and the spiritual light in his hand shined brightly, shooting out a green light with a "whoosh", which flickered in the air and turned into a cloud of ice rain.
The ice rain solidified instantly, forming a huge ice cover that enveloped him. At the same time, he quickly pinched out a magic formula, then slapped it on the sky spirit cover and dropped it. A golden light flashed, and nine almost identical golden swords
, shot out from the Tianling Cap.
These golden swords are also extraordinary. They are made from the spiritual roots of a kind of gold and wood in the fairy world. They are even comparable to ordinary ancient spiritual treasures.
"Puff!"
Tens of thousands of sword rays were shot on the ice shield, immediately tearing a large hole in the entire ice shield, and the remaining sword rays continued to fall towards Liu Xinghan's body.
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Xinghan's eyes. He didn't expect that his ice shield could be destroyed so easily. However, the golden sword in his hand had also flown out. After a while, it actually merged into one, forming a huge golden sword.
The sword stood in front of him. The sword light intersected with the golden sword without any surprise.
But the strange thing is that the golden sword and sword light did not make any sound, and those sword lights disappeared at the same time, revealing the body of the Five Immortals Divine Sword.
"Hey, this golden sword can actually destroy my sword array?"
Gu Qing exclaimed, greatly surprised. This was the first time he encountered a magic weapon that could restrain his own sword formation, and he couldn't help but become very curious.
He immediately recited a few spells in his mouth, cold threads sprang out from the tip of the Five Immortals Divine Sword, and extremely icy threads appeared quickly.
These ice threads were intertwined with each other, forming a huge ice network, and an extremely cold air spread on the high platform.
At this time, Gu Qing flipped his hand, and a talisman appeared, and he crushed it casually. A ball of golden light rose from his hand, emitting thousands of rays of light, which made people unable to open their eyes. And surrounded by the golden light, a tower
The palm-sized golden mountain grew rapidly and became several feet tall in the blink of an eye.
This Jinshan Talisman was obtained by Gu Qing in the Leichi of the Leichi tribe.
Liu Xinghan looked under the ice net cover, quickly flicked his sleeves and robes, and a small silver bowl spun in the air. As it grew in size, a bright flame burst out from the bowl.
The temperature of these flames is extremely high, and they roar against the ice network. Breaking the ice with fire is a simple matter.
At the same time, under Liu Xinghan's control, the golden sword also struck hard at Jinshan.
