A melodious bell rang from Tiandu Peak and resounded throughout Huachen. This was exactly the bell that Huachen Gate gathered for its biannual competition.
Countless streams of light flew past Hongye Peak and landed on Luoxia Square one after another. After the streamers condensed, various monks jumped from the flying magical instruments. Several mountain roads leading to Luoxia Palace were crowded with outer gates who were struggling to make their way.
Disciple, these people look up at the sky from time to time, pointing at the stream of light in the sky, full of admiration and envy.
In Luoxia Square, a thousand-foot-long round platform cuts out of the ground, towering on the Red Leaf Peak. The red leaves all over the mountain are floating in the air, drawing out bright red figures. The leaves fall back to their roots and make a rustling sound. Stepping on it makes you feel like you are in the sky.
Red ocean.
On the stage, there are five distinct areas. Close to the main hall, the terrain is slightly higher. Eight large jade-colored chairs are placed among them. Five people are already sitting on the chairs, namely Ouyang De, Xiong Zhen, Ouyang Dian, and Sikong Xing.
and Wei Qiyin.
The four areas immediately below are separated by powerful magic circles, forming a space for reading. This is about to be the stage of the competition. Soon there will be bloodshed, and there will be life and death.
Under the round platform, four blocks are marked around it. In each block, there are hundreds of stone benches. There is a plaque in front, and the plaques are engraved with: Sword Hall, Fufa Hall.
, Dan Tang and Qi Tang.
Outside the fourth hall, there is a vast ground paved with bluestones. On the ground, red leaves are piled thickly. On the red leaves, there are already three or two outer disciples sitting on the ground.
After half a stick of incense, the second bell rang loudly, and Luoxia Square fell into silence for an instant.
Ouyang De stood up and glanced around the entire venue, with a hint of melancholy and hope in his expression.
His mouth opened slightly, and a deep voice came out:
"The 516th Huachen Sect Competition has officially begun!!"
The words fell to the ground, there was thunderous applause, and the roar was loud.
A gray-black light spot shot out from the western sky. The light spot grew from small to large, and within a few breaths, a gray-black pointed flying magic weapon appeared.
"Flying Shuttle!!"
Ouyang De looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes.
The black stream of light penetrated the Red Leaf Peak, and the stream of light condensed, floating in the sky of Luoxia Square. The five dim stars on the shuttle were extremely dazzling.
"Bold! Who the devil dares to break into my inner door of Huachen?!"
Sikong Xing stood up solemnly, pointed at the shuttle and shouted angrily, at the same time he let out a coercive sound, forcing the shuttle to fly away.
"Hahaha! Head Ouyang and Dongling's special envoy are here, don't you welcome them?!"
There was a burst of joyful laughter in the five-star flying shuttle. Sikong Xing’s golden elixir was as overwhelming as a stone sinking into the sea, without making any waves. Then, a golden light flashed past, and the shuttle suddenly disappeared. In its place, a golden figure stood in the sky,
The whole body exudes vigorous pressure.
The golden robe, blond hair, golden eyebrows, golden face, and even the eyes he shoots are golden.
"Special envoy Dongling?" Ouyang De was stunned.
"That's right, Dongling's special envoy Yu Xin came to pay a visit to Head Ouyang!" the man in golden robe said, cupping his fists.
"It turns out to be Elder Yu of the Dongling Sect! Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! It's really a coincidence. I, Hua Chen, are about to hold a big competition. I wonder why Elder Yu suddenly came to me, Hua Chen? If it's nothing important, I'm sorry.
I won’t accompany you!!”
"Head Ouyang is issuing an order to expel guests? Hey, Yu said that I am Dongling's special envoy. Has Head Ouyang even forgotten Dongling's special envoy?"
"Special Envoy Dongling?!" Ouyang De was suddenly startled, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Oops! It turns out that the special envoy has arrived! Ashamed! Ashamed! In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed quietly. I almost forgot about the special envoy of the Dongling Contest!! Special envoy, please come quickly!!
"
Yu Xin smiled slightly, his figure faded into the air, and then suddenly appeared on the high platform, only a few feet away from the five big bosses on the platform.
"Teleport!" Wei Qiyin exclaimed, with a gleam of horror in his eyes.
"Oh? My friend can see Yu's lame teleportation technique. It's rare! It's rare! My friend must be Wei Qiyin, the genius of Dongling, right?!"
"Sir, special envoy, what kind of Dongling genius are these scoundrels? Sir, please take a seat!!"
Ouyang De reached out and waved, and a big blank chair at the edge instantly moved to his side, next to his seat, "Please!"
"Easy to say, easy to say! Head Ouyang also invites you!"
Yu Xin sat on the chair and smiled slightly at the audience.
Throughout Luoxia Square, the hearts of thousands of Huachen disciples suddenly felt like a spring breeze, as if some kind of honey suddenly penetrated into their hearts.
"Sir, I heard that the twelfth peak of Donglingmen has a peak leader named Jintu Linggen. He was recently promoted to the rank of elder. This elder is also named Yu. Could it be that he is the special envoy?" Ouyang De fell back to his seat.
, then asked with clasped fists.
"Head Ouyang, Mr. Yu is not well-known, but it is a great honor for the head to pay attention to it. Yes, Mr. Yu did advance more than half a year ago, and is now the 29th elder of the House of Lords."
"Twenty-nine?!" Si Kongxing on the side swallowed his saliva.
Donglingmen is really full of talents. Such an old monster at the end of the Jindan stage who has just glimpsed teleportation is actually just the last elder in the upper house. Together with dozens of elders in the lower house, he is so powerful. With only seven of the Huachenmen
How can a Jindan monk be so inferior to him?!
Although the conversation between them was not loud, it could be heard clearly throughout Luoxia Square.
In an instant, Luoxia Square was like falling rocks on a quiet lake, suddenly causing waves.
On the high platform, Ouyang De spoke again: "Sir, these are the elders of Hua Chen. Let me introduce to you. This is Sikong Xing, this is Ouyang Dian, and Xiong Zhen."
"Xiong Zhen, Lian Chi Xiong Zhen?!"
Yu Xin directly let go of Sikong Xing and Ouyang Dian, and looked over carefully. Golden light shot out.
"Sir, Mr. Xiong is polite!"
Xiong Zhen coldly clasped his fists, raised his hand, and gray light shot out, accurately hitting the golden light.
"Beep beep beep beep!" After several small beeps, Xiong Zhen and Yu Xin shook their bodies several times, and finally stood still. The undercover agents were indistinguishable.
"Lianchi is indeed well-deserved. He has actually reached the final stage of the Golden Elixir. Yu admires it!" Yu Xin's face changed slightly.
Ouyang De was determined. It seemed that it was just the right time for the second elder to leave seclusion after the final stage of advancement, otherwise he would be a joke to others. From this point of view, Wei Qiyin's lack of golden elixir nectar would really be the fault of the four junior brothers.
It's worth it too.
"Master Yu, what can I learn from Hua Chen this time? Has the Dongling Contest been confirmed?"
"Yes, Master Ouyang, the schedule for the competition has been determined. Yu is here to present the jade slips for the competition. I wonder if the master is ready?"
After Yu Xin finished speaking, he threw a silver jade slip to Ouyang De.
Ouyang De put the jade slip into his bag without looking at it.
"I'm ashamed. I, Hua Chen, am not ready yet. The candidates for the competition can only be finalized after this internal competition. Hasn't the date of the competition been moved forward?"
"Haha, that's not true. The competition will only start on the fifteenth day. It's okay for the master's competition to start slowly. But I'm still worried about you. Can this really select the disciples you want? You know we
The competition for the top is about young talents and future strength. Old guys over forty are not allowed to participate. Don’t you worry, in the end, the top three will not meet the requirements of the competition?!"
"Alas, there is no other way. Hua Chen is no better than Donglingmen, so we can only choose the generals from the shortest. If not, keep going down the list. There are a few who meet the requirements within a hundred. Sir, my big competition is about to begin.
, do you see...?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Head, Yu has already delivered the jade slips from the other three sects. The official business is over. If you don't mind, I would like to watch the grand competition of your sect?!"
As soon as Yu Xin said these words, Sikong Xing on the side suddenly changed his expression and urgently sent a message to Ouyang De: "Master, please don't agree. He is here to spy on information. If he finds out the true situation inside our sect,
The consequences would be disastrous.”
Ouyang De's expression changed several times and he glanced at Xiong Zhen and Wei Qiyin.
"Master, it doesn't matter to me, disciple," Wei Qiyin said coldly.
"Senior brother, I think he just wants to watch the excitement. With his cultivation at the end of the golden elixir, and his mastery of the basic teleportation spell so quickly, he shouldn't be doing dirty tricks to spy on information. It would be inappropriate to drive him away!
"Xiong Zhen also nodded slightly.
Ouyang De took a deep breath: "Elder Sikong, let the conference begin. You will host it next!"
"This...? Leader, think twice! This competition is related to my fate, Huachen, and even life and death. If it fails, we will not only lose the five peaks, but all our disciples will have no peaks to rely on and no roots to stay!!
"
Sikong Xing gritted his teeth, sweat dripping down his spine.
"Junior brother, don't you welcome me?" Yu Xin stared at Sikong Xing, as if he could see through his thoughts. Then he smiled and said: "Haha, I know you. You have been in charge of Tiandu Peak. A few days ago, you and Wei Qiyin
We were successfully promoted to the Golden Core together. Ten years ago, you were the only monk who defeated me, Donglingmen, in a competition between foundation-building monks. It’s a pity, it’s a pity that the monk who lost to you was already eight years ago.
You have succeeded in forming the elixir, but now you are lagging behind in the middle stage of the golden elixir. Why Hua Chen lags behind is not only in terms of resources and energy, but also in terms of mind and vision. If you only look at the present, you will definitely lose the future."
Ouyang De nodded slightly, stood up slowly, and gave Yu Xin a long bow: "Your Majesty's words are clear from the clouds. Ouyang De is deeply grateful! Elder Sikong, hurry up and preside over the meeting!"
Ouyang De finished speaking sternly, and then quickly sent a message: "Sikong Xing, this person is not only the elder of the Dongling Sect, but also the special envoy of this summit competition. He is responsible for overseeing the final decision of the competition. In theory, I am also one of the envoys of the conference.
First, I will still act based on his face, and building a good relationship with him will only be beneficial to us. You can implement the alternative plan!"
"Follow the instructions of the master!" Sikong Xing finally answered with cupped fists.
