The Kung Fu Tournament’s knockout schedule is already halfway through. Because most of the players entering the knockout round are almost the same in terms of realm and overall strength, almost every battle seems anxious.
Taking into account the problem of injuries and the recovery and adjustment of spiritual power, each player will basically have to wait one to two days before the next game, but even so, this is still a high-intensity competition.
Under this intense competition, the men's and women's teams decided on the top 16 in the second half of October.
After entering the top sixteen, you are already qualified to receive rewards from the organizers of the martial arts conference. However, many people's goals do not stop there. What they want more is to win the championship and have a battle with the inheritor of the god.
.
After learning what Xiao Lingyuan and others were doing, Yun Xi felt a little nervous in her heart. Although she had contacted Tang Xiaoshu to help take care of it, things are unpredictable. If there really is something else behind the auction city
With the support of strong men, once the opponent takes action, he may not be weaker than Tang Xiaoshu.
It's just that with her current ability, she can't do anything else except worry and nervousness. It's not that she didn't think about asking Mr. Wei for help, but since she has already found Aunt Tang, asking for help from Mr. Wei seems a bit unnecessary. With Tang
Xiao Shu was so loyal to Mr. Wei that it was impossible not to inform Mr. Wei of this matter.
She can't interfere with what the higher-ups decide.
Because of the concerns deep in her heart, Yun Xi has been unable to calm down even in practice these days. If it weren't for the fact that the martial arts conference hasn't ended yet and she still has her own responsibilities to fulfill, she would have been ready to go directly to the Hanming Mountains.
.
Today, Yun Xi was in a upset mood and simply went to Jiang Mingling Field to watch the game. She did not notify anyone, so the only two people accompanying her were Ying Nianling and Li Zixiao.
They went to the afternoon game to watch the men's group competition. The overall strength of the men's group was slightly higher than that of the women's group. By the time they reached the top sixteen, the players' realms were at the lowest level of psychic peak, among which the spirit transformation realm
occupies more than half.
There are two seeded players in the men's group.
One is named Tang Lin. It is said that he was once a disciple of the Tianling Alliance. He has good talent, but later he lost his position due to a mistake at work. Now he is working as a personal trainer and is considered a slightly famous person in the practice circle.
The other one is called Xu Qiwei, the eldest son of Jiang Ming’s Xu family. He is extremely talented, but for some reason he did not join the Tianling Alliance.
These two people are both in the middle stage of spiritual transformation, which is one level higher than Yun Xi's state. They are the two people with the highest level in this martial arts tournament. The champion of the men's group in this martial arts tournament will most likely be between them.
Born among men.
At this time, one of the two people gesticulating on the stage was Xu Qiwei.
Considering that this person might become his opponent in the future, Yun Xi concentrated a little and took a few more looks at his fighting style.
This person's weapon is a little bit special. He uses a zhangba spear, which looks similar to a gun, but there are two more sharp blades at the tip.
He controlled the distance of the spear very well, and when he swung it, his overall momentum was greatly expanded. Yun Xi knew at a glance that this man had extremely rich practical experience. If he let go of the fight, it should not be difficult to defeat him.
But if you only use the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sutra and the jade pendant, it will take some effort to win...
This is not because the inheritance of the senior Buddha is not strong enough, it is just that it has only been more than three months since Yun Xi obtained the inheritance until now, and she has been tempering for two months out of these three months.
To refine the spiritual veins, the time to really focus on the Buddha’s inheritance does not exceed half a month.
The proficiency is really not enough.
Yun Xi stroked Li Zixiao's hand, enjoying the coldness on it while thinking that it would be time to cuddle up in the last few days.

Hanming Mountains, Black Market Auction City.
Ye Nianhan walked through the streets of the city, unaware of the shouts, curses, and cries around him. He walked all the way to the outside of a certain loess house, pushed open the wooden door that made a loud noise, and walked in.
Passing through an empty yard with a few strands of grass, we walked into the wooden house inside.
Inside the house, Xiao Lingyuan, Lu Qi, Xia Qingyao, and Nangong Yao were waiting for her.
Seeing Ye Nianhan coming back, Nangong Yao asked: "How is it? Have you heard anything?"
They have been in this auction city for nearly half a month. During this period, they have been constantly trying to get familiar with and integrate into the place, and at the same time, they have been secretly and frantically inquiring about information.
Even with Wang Yi as a cover, they are strangers after all. Some simple information can be obtained, but it is difficult to get close to the huge auction house to learn more.
Because the auction city is currently closed, you must have a pass if you want to enter. They don't have those things, so they can't enter at all.
Ye Nianhan said: "I heard a very important news this time. That auction house will hold a grand auction in half a month, that is, the day when Xiao Xi Xiaoying accepts the challenge of the martial arts conference championship. It is said that
Those sold are all high-quality slaves, including fox people. Therefore, there will be many buyers coming to participate in the auction that day."
Nangong Yao thought for a moment and said: "The people of Yuezhou will basically attract the attention of the martial arts conference that day. It is really not easy to be exposed when holding an auction at this time. They will seize the opportunity."
Xiao Lingyuan said: "That should be the case, but if we seize this opportunity, we might be able to catch them all in one fell swoop!"
During this period of time, she had seen how many people of all ethnic groups were treated like animals and subjected to inhumane treatment and trade. She was so angry that she wanted to stab all these people to death with a gun!
Ye Nianhan said: "It's not that easy. For such a grand auction, they can't relax their vigilance just because the martial arts conference attracted most of the attention. And I also got news that now the entire auction city can only be entered but not exited.
, it’s difficult for us to get the message out.”
The reason why she was able to learn about the auction was because the entire auction city was on alert because of the auction, and now the entire auction city could only be entered but not exited.
There is no signal here. They cannot use their mobile phones to contact the outside world. However, there are formations in the city that are continuously operating. Once they use the Tianling Token, they will be exposed. The means of remote contact are restricted. Now that they cannot leave the city, they can only rely on
myself.
Nangong Yao asked: "What did Ling Xiaoyun say?"
Ye Nianhan replied: "They said to wait and see what happens. At least, we don't have to worry about exposure for the time being."...
There were too many of them, so in order to avoid attracting attention, they separated not long after entering the city.
The four girls are in one group with Nangong Yao and the others are in another group. They live in different places, and the message transmission between them is usually left to the cautious and agile Ye Nianhan.
During this period of observation, they found that although there were many formations in the auction city, the overall alertness was not high, and they were not like spies in novels who had to think twice before even saying a word. p>
There are no patrols here, and no one will catch unfamiliar faces for questioning. Since they came in, they have not encountered any trouble, whether it was expected or unexpected.
Maybe the people who founded this city didn't worry about the city's exposure at all.
Ye Nianhan sat aside, his eyes lowered, and his eyes fell on his feet.
The Tianling Token is a spiritual object created within the Tianling Alliance. It is not a mobile phone and does not need to rely on signals to transmit messages. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to transmit the Tianling Token, but the formation in this city does it. p>
This is not common sense.
Unless... there are people from the Tianling Alliance behind this auction city, or people who have a certain understanding of the Tianling Order.
Ye Nianhan's vision gradually lost focus, and he was lost in thought.
If there are really powerful people from the Tianling Alliance behind the Tianling Black Market, then what is the point of their efforts...
She thought that the head of the Wei family would rather ask for help from his own disciples than contact the strong men in the alliance, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
'Xiao Xi...if it were you, what would you do?'
……
……
Luo Yu is the head teacher of Class 1 of the fourth grade of Tianyun Martial Arts School - she should be in fifth grade now. She should naturally follow and protect her students, but the contact terminal of the bracelet in the hands of the students is in front
A few days ago, I was accepted by the school leaders.
She remembered that the leader's reason at the time was that they had to personally supervise and ensure that these students were fine. She could also understand that the students of Tianyun Martial Arts School were either rich or noble, and if something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.
In front of those big families, any liability exemption agreement is bullshit!
Without the terminal, she would not be able to receive information from the students. Naturally, she would not be able to determine their location. It would be difficult to supervise them secretly. She could only stay in the inn, quietly waiting for the Jianghu experience to end, and then Take the students back to Tianling County.
She may not have thought at all that some of her students had already been attacked.
In a courtyard not far from the inn where Luo Yu and other teachers were staying, two school leaders from Tianyun Martial Arts School who were accompanying this martial arts training unexpectedly appeared.
The two school leaders walked into the courtyard and came to a room. In the room, someone was waiting for them.
"Principal."
When the two school leaders saw the people in the room, they shouted respectfully.
This person is Hua Ganshi, the current principal of Tianyun Martial Arts School.
The reason why this class of students will carry out martial arts training in Yuezhou is because he made this arrangement. He only has the strength of the Transformation Realm, and his overall talent and realm are not high, but his connections in Tianling County are Not small.
At this time, he should have been enjoying life at his home in Tianling County, but he unexpectedly appeared here...
Hua Gan looked at the two men and asked, "What's going on now?"
The two school leaders looked at each other, and one of them said: "This... recently, we have lost contact with more than twenty students. Only two of them have been successfully found."
Hua Gan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Other than you, who else knows about this?"
The two shook their heads: "We haven't revealed it yet, but some students are actually protected by others behind their backs. We're afraid... we can't hide it."
Hua Gan said: "You don't have to worry about this. You just need to keep this matter secret. If it is leaked... you know the consequences."
Thinking of their family members far away in Tianling, the two of them bowed their heads and said "yes".
Hua Gan took a deep breath and sighed: "For the next few days, you just stay here and don't leave. Please hand over your mobile phones."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, but when they saw the sharp eyes of Huagan, they had no choice but to obey the order and hand over their mobile phones.
After Hua Ganbing collected their mobile phones, he walked out of the room and sat directly in the courtyard. His spiritual consciousness spread out and surrounded the entire courtyard.
The two school leaders in the room looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but say: "The principal...is it related to the disappearance of the students?"
"Shh!" The other person raised a finger, "You and I don't know anything."
……
……
The sky in October alternates between bright and dark. The sun is shining brightly today, and it will rain heavily tomorrow. However, people living in the mountains cannot sense the changes in the weather.
Qingchan and Hongling never came back since they were taken out of the dungeon that day. There was only a dim light in the dungeon providing a little light. Xuanxuan and Xia Zidi were sitting on the cold beds of their cells, stunned.
Looking at the damp aisle.
Qingchan and Hongling seemed to have disappeared directly from their world, and there was no news from them. Both of them were particularly depressed, especially Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan sat on the bed with her legs curled up. Her originally bright eyes were slightly dim at this time. If the light shone on her, she should be able to see the red marks on her arms and the blood stains on her clothes.
Unlike when I was first imprisoned here, the air here is already filled with a disgusting stench.
Crunch——
The door of the dungeon was opened, and someone walked in. It was a man who came in. Everyone in the dungeon was not unfamiliar with him, because in the past period, he came here every day to give everyone three meals a day, and everyone also
They all rely on the number of times he delivers meals to determine how many days he has been imprisoned.
But no one will be grateful to him for this, not only because the food he sends is too unpalatable, but also because he beats people.
In the past few days, some young men and women have been sent to the interior of the dungeon. Some of them will be very scared when they first come in, crying and yelling.
Whenever this happens, the man will walk in, drag the noisy person to the aisle, and whip him severely with a whip in front of other people.
This is how Xuanxuan's injuries came from when she asked where Qingchan and Hongling were.
But the only thing they are thankful for is that since the day Qingchan and Hongling left, they have never seen other boys or girls taken out. At least their innocence has been preserved for the time being...
However, they may also know that their innocence is only temporarily preserved.
When Xuanxuan heard the door of the cell, she subconsciously thought about shrinking the foot of the bed. She buried her face in her knees, her messy and dirty hair was spread out, and her whole body gave people a messy feeling.
Without spiritual power to promote cell circulation, it will take a long time for her injuries to recover naturally based on her current physique. The scars on her arms, back, and thighs still feel pain from time to time, and her body is shaking slightly.<
/p>
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
The men were holding food in their hands and stuffing it into the cell doors one by one.
Two steamed buns and a glass of water.
This is the food for these imprisoned people.
When he walked to Xuanxuan's cell, the man looked at the dirty steamed buns scattered in the cell and said coldly: "Let's see how long you can last!"
Not everyone will eat these foods. Xuanxuan and Xia Zidi have never eaten a morsel of food since they were arrested. They rely on the strong physique of spiritual cultivators to survive until now.
The reason why they choose not to eat is because they don’t want to be like other people who abandon their dignity under high pressure and completely turn themselves into animals.
The stench in the air comes from some other cells.

【Uncle takes a walk】
Author Jun: "Hey, Xiao Xi, I called suddenly. What's the matter?"
Yun Xi: "Dad, don't you think I've been in a bit less of a role recently?"
Author: "Eh? Is there any?"
Yun Xi (in an angry tone): "In a chapter of more than 4,000 words, there are only 1,000 words about me! Only a quarter, and I am the protagonist!"
Author Jun: "Isn't this your competition yet? I can't write daily word count every day, why don't you tell me what plot you want, and I'll add some for you."
Yun Xi (coughing twice): "Ahem, haven't you been living with Zi Xiao recently? Just write something... Well, her body is actually quite soft, and she can let me... Hey, hey! Zi Xiao!
, what are you doing! Don’t grab my phone, I’m on the phone with dad... beep beep beep beep!"
Author Jun (looked at the phone twice, shook his head and chuckled): "These two girls!"
