In the area of Chongxiao Mansion, although Xu Jing, the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, is famous, it is more because of his identity.
In terms of strength, he is inferior to Monk Hua and Jing Xuzi.
In fact, at the same level, he is not even as good as Zhong Gu.
In the Holy Land of Taoism and Martial Arts, the strong are respected, and Xu Jing behaved like this, and his reputation is not lower than that of Monk Hua and Jing Xuzi, so it naturally made many people feel dissatisfied.
In the eyes of everyone, Xu Jing is where he is today just because of his background.
If it weren't for his good background, he would be nothing at all, and he might not even be in the top ten of the Sky Rankings.
After hearing that most people in Linglong Canyon were talking more and more unscrupulously, Xu Cen, the great elder of Chongxiao Mansion, suddenly turned gloomy.
If it were normal times, he would have used his power to silence people.
However, there are two other strong men from the fourth-rate forces, and the strongest men from any of the forces are not inferior to him in strength, so although he was angered by the discussions around him, he did not do anything.
"Our Young Master of Chongxiao Mansion went out to practice for this Chongxiao Ranking Ranking Competition some time ago. He will naturally show up without bothering you."
Finally, Xu Cen couldn't help but speak.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the voice contained true energy and swept away, spreading throughout the entire Linglong Canyon, and everyone heard it.
For a time, most of the people who were still talking about it all shut up.
They could hear that the great elder of Chongxiao Mansion was angry.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who seem to know that there are two other people from the fourth-rate forces. The Great Elder of Chongxiao Mansion does not dare to do anything, so they still keep whispering.
As for the content of the whispers, they were all related to Xu Jing, the young master of Chongxiao Mansion.
"Elder Xu Cen, it seems that the young master of your Chongxiao Mansion is preparing to show up again after the Chongxiao Ranking Competition begins."
Among the group of people on the left side of the Chongxiao Mansion group, the old man who was the leader looked at Xu Cen and said with a smile.
This old man was dressed in green clothes, holding a cane in his hand, and with squinted eyes, he looked very amiable, just like an old man next door.
When Xu Cen heard this, he could only smile awkwardly, "It should be."
"You two, let's go over there and rest first."
Xu Cen pointed to a corner of the Linglong Canyon with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and said to the old man in Tsing Yi and the leader of another group of people. His words were very polite and he did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
Whether it is the old man in Qingyi or another person, they all come from the fourth-rate forces, and their strength is not inferior to that of Xu Cen, the great elder of Chongxiao Mansion.
The place Xu Cen pointed to was exactly the place occupied by the ninth elder of Chongxiao Mansion.
The people from the three major and fourth-rate forces just rested in Linglong Canyon.
"The other two fourth-rate forces are Tengyue Mansion and Hongtao Mansion."
Duan Lingtian didn't know much about the other two fourth-rate powerhouses who presided over the Chongxiao Ranking Competition, but he had heard about these two fourth-rate forces who had been in the Chongxiao Mansion area for a long time.
Said.
Tengyue Mansion and Hongtao Mansion are powerful fourth-rate forces no less powerful than Chongxiao Mansion, and are adjacent to Chongxiao Mansion.
Bibohan Mansion is located in the Tengyue Mansion area.
"I can't see that the great elder of Chongxiao Mansion is a strong person in the Great Sage Realm, and he is not an ordinary strong person in the Great Sage Realm."
Duan Lingtian looked at the figure gradually disappearing from the distance and thought to himself.
When facing Xu Cen, the chief elder of Chongxiao Mansion, Duan Lingtian clearly felt a certain amount of pressure. This pressure was even stronger than when he faced Han Zhengtian, the leader of Bibo Han Mansion.
Therefore, he can almost conclude that Xu Cen, the great elder of Chongxiao Mansion, is stronger than Han Zhengtian
After the powerful men of the three fourth-rate forces, including Chongxiao Mansion, settled down, the leaders of Brahma Temple, Chunyang Temple and another fifth-rate force came to visit them one after another, as if they were deeply afraid of suffering misfortune for neglecting them.
.
As a fifth-rate force, although its strength is good, it is nothing compared to the fourth-rate forces.
The evening hours fade away and night falls.
At this time, the young master of Chongxiao Mansion, Xu Jing, still did not appear.
"That Xu Jing, I really plan to come back after the ranking competition starts."
Duan Lingtian, who was standing in the corner of Linglong Canyon without attracting anyone's attention, frowned and thought to himself.
You know, the purpose of his visit this time is Xu Jing.
He hasn't seen Xu Jing yet, so it's normal for him to be a little agitated.
As late night came, although there were many people in Linglong Canyon, they gradually became quiet, and no one spoke anymore.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the sky turned white, and almost everyone opened their eyes and jumped into the sky one after another.
Accompanied by a loud noise, the old man in Tsing Yi from Tengyue Mansion shook the crutch in his hand and pointed it towards the void in the middle of the Linglong Canyon.
In an instant, the void shook, as if circles of water-like ripples appeared, spreading out, one wave after another, gradually spreading.
"What is he doing?"
Seeing this scene, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be startled.
The next moment, Duan Lingtian discovered that the leader of the Hong Tao Mansion group had also moved.
This was a bald man wearing blue clothes. When he raised his hand, a simple-looking giant hammer appeared in his hand. The giant hammer passed through the air and smashed into the void in the middle of the Linglong Canyon.
The place where the giant hammer hit was exactly where the crutch in the hand of the old man in Tsing Yi from Tengyue Mansion was pointing.
Both hit the same place.
In the void, the ripples that originally swayed like water patterns shattered with the impact of the hammer.
In an instant, a crack appeared in the void in the middle of the Linglong Canyon, a crack that grew bigger and bigger. Duan Lingtian was also frightened when he saw it, "What is going on?"
In fact, not only Duan Lingtian, many people present were also frightened by the scene in front of them.
Of course, some people are not surprised by this.
These people are all people who have experienced the ranking battle of the Sky Ranking in the past, either participating in it or watching it.
"It turns out to be the effect of the formation."
Soon, Duan Lingtian discovered that the shocking scene he just saw was actually just an illusion of the formation.
To be precise, the void in the middle of Linglong Canyon is part of the illusion of the formation.
However, the powerful men from Tengyue Mansion and Hongtao Mansion broke the formation, causing cracks in the formation and revealing everything behind the formation.
As everything behind the formation was revealed, what appeared in front of everyone, including Duan Lingtian, was a chessboard. A chessboard that kept getting bigger in their eyes. At first, the chess pieces were normal sizes in their eyes.
After a while, the chess pieces became the size of a fist.
Later, the chess pieces became adult-sized.
In the end, one chess piece can stand for more than a hundred people.
At this time, the chessboard and the chess pieces on it stopped getting bigger and became fixed.
"This is inside the illusion array"
When Duan Lingtian came back to his senses from the shock, he found that he was on a chessboard that could not be seen at a glance. Under his feet was a huge chess piece. If he was willing to squeeze in, there should be no problem for two hundred people standing there.
Taking a breath of air, Duan Lingtian looked around. After realizing that the chessboard had no end, he raised his head again.
All he saw was a gray sky above his head. The gray sky pressed down, as if he and everyone else were trapped in a chessboard.
"This is Linglong Chess Game"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian heard an exclamation, which made him startled, "Linglong Chess Game."
Soon, from the whispers of some people, Duan Lingtian finally knew what the boundless chess game in front of him was. It turned out to be the Linglong chess game in the Linglong Canyon.
Of course, this so-called exquisite chess game is essentially an illusion array.
The Linglong Chess Game is also the stage for the Sky Ranking Ranking Competition, and the Linglong Canyon is also named Linglong because of the Linglong Chess Game.
Duan Lingtian only knows all this now.
swish
As two harsh wind whistles came, Duan Lingtian looked around and saw that the old man from Tengyue Mansion and the bald man from Hongtao Mansion had risen into the air. In the blink of an eye, they were high in the sky, overlooking everyone.
people.
Today, in the vast and exquisite chess game, most people have not come back to their senses.
The scene in front of them also made them confused.
Most of the people present were here for the first time to participate in the excitement of the ranking battle.
"Everyone, our Tengyue Mansion, because of the ancestral precepts passed down by our ancestors, will send people to preside over this time when the Chongxiao Ranking Ranking Battle begins every fifty years. Our Tengyue Mansion has sent
Got me."
The old man holding a cane said loudly.
He looked very old, but his words were full of energy, and you couldn't tell he was speaking from an old man at all.
"My name is Ren Zhong, and I am the Deputy Palace Master of Tengyue Mansion. You can call me Deputy Palace Master Ren, or you can call me Mr. Ren."
The old man continued.
As soon as the old man said this, the scene became excited without any surprise.
Tengyue Mansion, Deputy Master
Most of the people present did not know much about Tengyue Mansion. After all, they were only people from the Chongxiao Mansion area, and it was difficult for them to have in-depth contact with the forces at the level of Tengyue Mansion.
Of course, although they cannot have in-depth contact with the forces at the level of Tengyue Mansion, it does not mean that they know nothing about Tengyue Mansion.
They are the same four-rate forces.
In their opinion, the deputy head of Tengyue Mansion is no different from the deputy head of Chongxiao Mansion in their Chongxiao Mansion area. They are characters of the same level.
"I didn't expect that he was the deputy master of Tengyue Mansion."
Many people lamented that the old man looked so ordinary that they did not expect that the old man would be the deputy head of Tengyue Mansion, a big shot that was out of reach for them.
