A loud noise came from the valley, rocks pierced through the air, the mountain trembled slightly, and the terrifying impact airflow tore apart the sea of clouds in the valley.
Everyone looked down and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
A large pit of twenty meters appeared in the valley, with smoke and dust billowing, but Xia Shenglong was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, the area inside and outside Tianmang Mountain suddenly fell into unprecedented silence.
Was Xia Shenglong defeated?
Looking at Zhou Ziheng standing on the sky, everyone's eyes became filled with awe.
In the divine realm of martial arts, three swords defeated Xia Shenglong in the early stage of Xiantian?
In the Xia family, only Xia Shuangjie and an old man beside him came to watch today. Xia Delong had other arrangements and did not come.
When they saw Xia Shenglong being beaten into the valley, Xia Shuangjie and others were frightened and their pupils were about to burst.
"Third uncle lost? This news is really not good."
Xia Shuangjie couldn't believe his eyes. He was as powerful as his third uncle, but he was struck down by Zhou Ziheng with three swords.
He immediately called Chadron.
Xia Delong quickly answered the phone, smiled slightly and asked: "Shuangjie, before you said that your third uncle fought against Zhou Ziheng, did your third uncle win?"
"Calculating the time, it's only one minute. It seems that your third uncle is stronger than imagined."
"Dad, I can prepare for the celebration banquet with peace of mind, hahaha."
At the end of the sentence, Xia Delong's words were full of heroism.
Xia Shuangjie's face turned livid and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "Dad, it's not what you think."
"Third uncle! Third uncle...it seems like he has been defeated!"
boom!
When he heard the news in Yulong Village, Xia Delong immediately slipped from his chair and fell under the tea table as if he was struck by lightning.
"What? Your third uncle lost?"
Shadelong was furious and roared loudly, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Zhou Ziheng is just a martial artist, how can he defeat a cultivator in the innate realm?"
"I do not believe!"
Xia Shuangjie immediately sent the video of the battle.
Half a minute later, after watching the video, Xia Delong was stunned, as if his soul had been sucked out, and he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
"Master?"
The housekeeper looked worried.
"I...I'm fine."
Xia Delong said feebly. As soon as he finished speaking, his throat felt sweet, blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fainted on the spot.
…
On Tianmang Mountain, in the exhibition area.
"Okay, wonderful!"
Li Taishan spoke first, his breath trembling in his chest, and his whole body was extremely excited.
The Xia family is too strong, but there are faint signs of losing control, breaking the balance of power in the Imperial Capital family, and Xia Shenglong's defeat is undoubtedly good news.
Although Ye Zhixuan and Ye Wenxuan did not dare to express their interest in gloating in front of Li Taishan, they looked very excited and elated.
After Xia Shenglong's defeat, it would be completely impossible for him to become the master of the Martial Arts Temple.
It is undoubtedly a great benefit for the Ye family that the Xia family is favored by everyone.
However, they did not expect that Zhou Ziheng would be so strong and send a generous gift to the Ye family.
In the sky, Lin Caifeng also squinted her eyes: "These two people are really incredibly powerful. I'm afraid no one of them is a match for me."
"Fortunately, Xiaoyang took the Ziyang Pill, otherwise he would have been swept away if he had gone into battle rashly."
"Given her bad relationship with the Xia family, I'm afraid Xia Shenglong will kill her."
Ye Ningshuang's beautiful eyes trembled slightly: "I didn't expect that the strength of these two people would be so terrifying. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to surpass them in twenty years."
At this time, Zhou Ziheng also fell from the sky and landed on the top of the mountain. His face was pale and he didn't say a word. He found his seat and sat back directly.
His divine energy has been exhausted and he is unable to fight anymore.
Moreover, after using the Heavenly Sword three times in a row, his consciousness was exhausted and his body was almost exhausted.
Ye Ningshuang also noticed Zhou Ziheng's condition, and suddenly felt secretly happy.
"Both Xia Shenglong and Zhou Ziheng suffered losses, but I was the one who benefited from it. God helped me."
Ye Ningshuang looked at the sleeping Lin Xiaoyang and smiled.
As long as she defeats Lin Xiaoyang again, she will be the next leader of the Martial Arts Temple.
Defeating Lin Xiaoyang who was about to fall asleep was like searching for something.
"In the first battle of the first round, Zhou Zi wins!"
Wang Chuandao reported the battle situation with an expressionless face. Xia Shenglong was his full support as the successor to the palace master, which was in line with his personal interests.
He has already discussed it with the Xia family. After he leaves office, he will go to Yulong Village to practice and become the Xia family's first guest minister, receiving the same treatment as the palace master.
He wants the resources of Yulong Village, and Xia Shenglong wants the power and resources of Wushen Temple.
But unexpectedly, Xia Shenglong messed up.
Xia Shenglong couldn't be the master of the palace, so the resources the Xia family could provide him wouldn't be many, and the Xia family would lose its attraction to him.
This made Wang Chuandao extremely angry.
"etc."
At this moment, a loud shout came from the valley.
Immediately afterwards, dragon roars came from the valley, resounding for hundreds of miles in the sky.
Xia Shenglong stepped on the golden dragon, flew out of the valley, and returned to the sky.
"I'm not defeated yet!"
Xia Shenglong's angry voice echoed throughout the world.
The crowd was in an uproar and looked at Xia Shenglong.
Although Xia Shenglong was in a bit of a mess, his clothes were in tatters and covered with blood, and there was a bloody cut on his chest for a full twenty meters. He could see the ribs on both sides, the skin and flesh were open, and the blood was flowing.
But this is just a trauma, not a serious injury!
Zhou Ziheng slowly opened his eyes, not surprised.
With his strength, it is obviously difficult to break Xia Shenglong's Buddha shadow and severely injure the opponent.
But the two made a bet that whoever was knocked down from the sky would lose.
"Xia Shenglong, you are defeated."
Li Taishan stood up from his seat and said calmly, "If a person has no trust, he will not be established! The position of the master of the Martial Arts Temple cannot be controlled by a person without trust."
"You made an agreement with Zhou Ziheng first, whoever is knocked out of the sky will lose."
"You're out."
"This!——" Xia Shenglong's face froze, and he was so angry that he coughed heavily and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, causing an uproar.
At this moment, Xia Shenglong wished he could slap himself in the face, and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
He's gone too far!
I hate myself for not spouting arrogant words, otherwise the situation will be irreversible.
Xia Shenglong gritted his teeth and refused to give in: "Old chief, you are teaching me a lesson!"
"However, there are obvious loopholes in this selection rule. Zhou Ziheng and I both suffered losses. Only the two little girls were left. They are young and have no hair. How could they be more qualified to lead the Martial God Temple than the two of us?
"
Wang Chuandao stood up and said to Li Taishan: "Old chief, what Xia Shenglong said makes sense. Whether it is Ye Ningshuang or Lin Xiaoyang, they are both too young."
Li Taishan snorted coldly and said, "What's your attitude? Do you want to challenge the rules of the Martial Arts Temple?"
"What's wrong with these two little girls being young? Isn't it bad to be young? The fact that they are standing here shows that they are qualified to take over the throne of the Lord of the Martial Arts Temple. Being young means they have a better future."
"Furthermore, the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Temple is never held by the strongest. If this is the case, the elders of the Elders Council of the Martial Arts Temple are more qualified to be the palace master than you."
"If you don't want to abide by the rules of the Martial Arts Temple, please leave immediately!"
Hearing this, Xia Shenglong and Wang Chuandao shuddered, lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak any more.
The benefits of the Martial Temple are excellent. The Martial Temple has an ancient cave in the eastern land and five blessed lands, which continuously provide resources for the strong men of the Martial Temple to practice.
If they leave the Martial Temple, it will be a great loss for them.
Although Li Taishan has resigned from his high position, he still serves as the president of the Presbyterian Council, which is the higher-level department that oversees the Martial Arts Temple.
Within the rules, they are not afraid of Li Taishan.
But for breaking the rules, Li Taishan could expel the two of them from the Martial Arts Temple as long as he held a meeting of the Elders Council.
The Council of Elders is an extremely terrifying existence that oversees the entire Martial Arts Temple and maintains the rules of the Martial Arts Temple.
If they really challenge the rules, the Presbyterian Council will definitely take action and kill them.
Seeing that Xia Shenglong and Wang Chuandao did not dare to challenge the authority anymore, Li Taishan immediately said to Wang Chuandao: "Time waits for no one, let's start the next battle."
"Sorry for keeping me waiting for so long."
Preacher Wang said that everyone was dissatisfied, but because of the Presbyterian Church, they had no choice but to give in.
Finally, Zhou Ziheng took a long breath and murmured to the sky: "Master Qin, I defeated Xia Shenglong. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Ye Ningshuang saw that her opportunity to show off her skills had come, so she flew into the sky outside the mountain, and immediately shouted to the sleeping Lin Xiaoyang: "Lin Xiaoyang, wake up, it's time for us to compete!"
Lin Xiaoyang's delicate body moved slightly, changed her position, and continued to sleep.
Ye Ningshuang was ashamed and annoyed, and immediately said to Wang Chuandao and Li Taishan: "Old chief, hall master, you see, Lin Xiaoyang is sleeping, she is so rude."
"I suggest that she be directly disqualified from the competition and directly announce that I will take over as the master of the palace."
Li Taishan frowned slightly.
The Xia family has great energy, and the Ye family is no exception. The two families have now formed a delicate balance.
If the position of the head of the Martial Arts Temple is given to the Ye family, the Ye family will also become rich.
In fact, he already had a candidate in mind, and that was Lin Xiaoyang.
Lin Xiaoyang's personality and temperament are all right, he can distinguish between public and private affairs, he is not afraid of offending others, and he has the courage to suppress the Ye family and the Xia family when he is in power.
Moreover, this woman is highly regarded by the Presbyterian Church, especially since she is a natural leader and is very suitable to rule the Martial Temple.
Behind Lin Xiaoyang are Phoenix Mountain and Master Qin.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoyang is not alone and can suppress the leaderless Wushen Temple.
Of course, this is also a means for the Presbyterian Church to win over Master Qin.
But now, Lin Xiaoyang is sleeping forever, giving Li Taishan a headache.
Wang Chuandao did not dare to speak and waited quietly to see what happened.
"Lin Xiaoyang, wake up!"
Ye Ningshuang couldn't bear it anymore. With a flick of her finger, a first-grade cold jade flying sword immediately struck Lin Xiaoyang between her eyebrows, preparing to frighten Lin Xiaoyang.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyang seemed to feel threatened. He raised a slender hand and waved his arm forward.
boom!
With a wave of her hand, thunder and lightning surged forward, sweeping forward like a tsunami. The whole sky was shaking with lightning and thunder.
"Not good!——"
Ye Ningshuang's beauty turned pale, turned around and ran away.
Without a flying sword, although she can step into the void, her speed is not very fast.
boom!
The next moment, raging thunder and lightning had surrounded her, making it difficult for her to fly.
"No!--"
"Grandpa, save me!——"
Ye Ningshuang was so frightened that she screamed and screamed, her soul was gone, and she was completely shocked by Lin Xiaoyang's strength.
While she was sleeping, she struck casually, and the power was infinitely close to the innate realm.
The two of them are not at the same level of powerhouses!
"No!"
The head of the Ye family, Ye Wenxuan, shouted loudly and fell from the sky. The gray innate true energy surged and immediately wrapped Ye Ningshuang up and rescued Ye Ningshuang.
Ye Ningshuang was so frightened that she burst into tears.
She was just a hair away from death.
Ye Wenxuan's face was gloomy, and he immediately said to Lin Xiaoyang: "Xiaoyang's great nephew, I will admit defeat on behalf of Ningshuang!"
