A month later, the Tianxing Sect became noisy again. Disciples from all peaks gathered in the Forest of Beasts. Many distinguished guests from the kingdom and representatives of major forces also gathered here to watch the last grand gathering before the three factions' martial arts competition.
In the past month, the inner sect competition has also ended. Mo Yun did not observe the battle because he was in seclusion. Zhou Yuhan and Qin Zhi passed the examination without any accident and entered the trial list.
Compared with the inner sect competition, the sect pays more attention to the trial. After all, the inner sect competition is only to select the talented people to participate in the trial, and the result of the trial means who will represent the sect in the three sects' martial arts competition.
The Three Sects Martial Arts Tournament is nominally a competition between the young disciples of the three major sects, but in fact it is a game between the three major sects, because the young generation represents the future of the sect, and the winner often gets the royal family of the East River Kingdom.
Even the support of most immortal cultivating families represents endless resources.
In the past few martial arts competitions, Tianxing Sect has undoubtedly come out on top, and it has deservedly become the number one sect in the Donghe Kingdom!
The first sect's gimmick attracted countless geniuses to join the Tianxing Sect. Coupled with the Donghe Kingdom's royal family's publicity, more than 60% of the geniuses poured into the Tianxing Sect, and this gap was like a snowball, and a single family loomed.
The big picture, at least, in terms of the number of young strong men, Tianxing Sect has more than Fengming Sect and Xuanding Sect combined!
Of course, this is only one of the benefits of winning the martial arts competition between the three factions. What matters more to the three factions is that whoever can win the crown will be able to control the Qianji Mountain Range for five years.
The Qianji Mountain Range is the junction between the Donghe Kingdom and the Demon Clan. Due to the intersection of immortal energy and demonic energy, many natural mineral veins have been formed there. Mastering the Qianji Mountain means mastering one-third of the mineral veins in the Donghe Kingdom.
, the cultivation resources in it are enough to support any sect's uncontrolled squandering, so there is a saying that "it takes five years to mine, and it lasts ten years to survive."
Perhaps it is for this reason that the royal family of the Donghe Kingdom also values Qianji Mountain. After all, the kingdom's Immortal Cultivating Legion's consumption of spiritual stones is no less than that of the three major sects. This also makes the royal family dependent on the mineral veins in disguise. It is said that,
The Tianxing Sect has reached an ulterior secret with the Donghe Kingdom royal family in private, which also led to the royal family's unconditional support for the dominance of the Tianxing Sect family.
When Lin Yueyao talked about this matter with Mo Yun before, she felt quite unhappy. After all, Qianji Mountain was a resource of the Immortal Family of the Donghe Kingdom, and the royal family had not been allowed to get involved in it since the beginning of the dynasty. After the establishment of the new dynasty, the Han royal family
In order to become a high-level kingdom as soon as possible, the mineral veins were mined without restraint, which in disguise also caused the aura of Donghe Kingdom to become increasingly thin.
"Should we see Yao'er soon, right?" Mo Yun stood on the high platform, looking quietly in the direction of Fengming Sect. When he left, he had agreed with Lin Yueyao that they would meet each other when the three sects competed.
As the days passed by, he missed Lin Yueyao beyond words.
"Brother Yun, why are you in a daze? Are you thinking about some beautiful fairy?" Zhou Yuhan seemed to be distracted, took a bite of the spiritual fruit, and asked with interest.
Facing Zhou Yuhan's scrutinizing look, Mo Yun awkwardly touched her head and said with a smile, "Sister Yuhan is really good at joking."
Zhou Yuhan rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Didn't anyone tell you that changing the topic is also a form of sophistry?"
Seemingly seeing that he didn't answer, Zhou Yuhan put away the jealousy in his heart and motioned him to look at the center of the high platform, where stood a well-dressed young man with a nondescript crown on his head, his nostrils bulging as high as the sky.
It was Han Chen, the Marquis who always prided himself on being superior.
At that time, Han Chen had been staring at him for a long time. However, he had been missing the beauty and had no intention of caring about him. This kind of neglect also made Han Chen quite unhappy.
"I thought you, a loser, didn't dare to look at me!"
Seeing his gaze, a smug smile appeared on Han Chen's cold face, but in front of Zhou Yuhan, he couldn't talk quickly with Mo Yun, so he could only sarcastically say through the voice: "But now I just want to hide.
It’s too late, there’s still less than a cup of tea left, and the trial is about to begin, so don’t let me be too disappointed when the time comes.”
"Don't talk too much. If you get slapped in the face, no one will hold you back for you!" Mo Yun replied nonchalantly.
"It seems that you are such a loser. No one has ever dared to talk to me like this!" Han Chen's face was extremely cold, and an indescribable emotion was also flowing in his heart. If it weren't for the presence of high-level officials from the sect,
, he would not hesitate to attack Mo Yun.
"Isn't it there now?" Mo Yun met his arrogant gaze, curled up the corner of his mouth, and showed a playful smile.
Han Chenqiang took a breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "You really have a bad mouth. When I catch you in the forest of beasts, I will definitely pull out your tongue to see if you are the same as the others."
What’s the difference between people?!”
"We'll wait and see, young master." Mo Yun stretched out boredly and looked at the sundial in the center of the square with interest, even with some expectation in his eyes.
His inadvertent move made Han Chen very angry. Han Chen really couldn't figure out what trump card this loser had, and he dared to yell at him in person? Could it be that he was waiting to be reincarnated?
A group of inner sect geniuses surrounding him looked at Mo Yun a little colder when they saw Mo Yun and Han Chen looking at each other. The leader, Wang Yannai, was second on the Nebula Ranking, a strong man in the late Void Spirit stage.
It is said that Wang Yan's grandfather was the godson of the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial city at that time. He participated in the dynasty change and was later given the title of earl by the new emperor for his merits.
Originally, Wang Yan was not qualified to inherit the title as a concubine, but with the help of Han Chen, the prince forcibly arranged to inherit the title. Therefore, he admired Han Chen and became his number one younger brother.
As if he noticed that Han Chen's face was a little ugly, Wang Yan asked very thoughtfully: "Master Hou, is that loser making you angry again?"
As the grandson of the former great eunuch's godson, Wang Yan dared to be number one in terms of observing words and emotions, and no one dared to be number two. It was also for this reason that he gained Han Chen's trust step by step, thus gaining endless resources for cultivation.
and political resources.
Han Chen waved his hands, showing the dead look of an accomplished man like before, "It's okay, I'll deal with him in the trial before it's too late!"
However, Wang Yan noticed the displeasure in his tone and replied very considerately: "Master Hou is tolerant and magnanimous, but I don't have such a good temper. I can't see you being angered by a loser for nothing."
!”
After saying that, he winked with the two younger brothers at the peak of Lingxuan beside him, and then walked towards Mo Yun in front of everyone. Although most people didn't know what he wanted to do, but Liu Jiang's previous fight
, everyone speculated that Wang Yan was also looking for trouble with Mo Yun.
However, no one took action to stop him, and not to mention that he was the Earl of Donghe Kingdom. His status as a direct disciple of the sect owner alone was enough for him to walk sideways throughout the Tianxing Sect.
Under the scorching gaze of everyone, Wang Yan and his entourage came to Mo Yun, but compared to Liu Jiang's impulsiveness, he was obviously much more docile. At least, in terms of scheming and government, he was not much worse than Han Chen. He became famous at a young age.
He is able to maintain this kind of character, which is rare among the younger generation of Tianxing Sect.
The four eyes looked at each other, but no one spoke first. Zhou Yuhan sensed the menacing approach of the other party and immediately stood beside Mo Yun. Qin Zhi, the housekeeper and others also followed him one after another.
"You must be the good-for-nothing Mo Yun that everyone calls you, right? I've heard of your name for a long time, and I'm glad to see you today." Wang Yan said with a hidden smile.
As he said that, he patted his forehead again and added with an expression of sudden realization: "Sorry, I almost forgot, in addition to the name of trash, you also have a nickname called pretty boy. Forgive me, I didn't highlight it specifically just now.
"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter. Those inner disciples who were already angry with him because of Zhou Yuhan stared at him with almost mocking eyes, as if they were expecting him to make a fool of himself in front of Zhou Yuhan.
From Yu Han's voice transmission, he learned that the smiling tiger in front of him was Wang Yan. Mo Yun also imitated the other person's tone and said sarcastically: "So you are the great-great-grandson of the eunuch that everyone calls you. It's really not as famous as meeting you. I just don't know."
Wouldn’t it be harsh for you to call you Brother Wang?”
Wang Yan's original surname was not Wang, but after his grandfather recognized the eunuch as his godfather, he took that man's surname. The eunuch later passed away, and the Wang family still wore sackcloth and mourned him for three years. This incident became famous throughout Donghe.
It is said in the capital that it is just a joke.
"I didn't expect you, a loser, to be so sharp-tongued. No wonder Mr. Han Xiaohou hates you so much!" Wang Yan pursed his lips, still maintaining the rare eunuch smile, but there was a coldness in the smile, which was colder than the average killer.
The meaning is even more piercing.
"Oh? Is your second master still alive? I wonder how he is doing now? He should be able to get out of bed, right?" Mo Yun asked tit for tat.
And this retort made everyone who wanted to watch the fun choose to shut up. Before the smiles on their faces dissipated, they were replaced by a complex emotion, which was very exciting to watch.
"You!" Wang Yan hated others exposing his shortcomings the most in his life. He was undoubtedly angered by Mo Yun at this moment. He immediately pointed at Mo Yun with gritted teeth and said, "Don't you think you're a good-for-nothing and know how to talk?"
"If you can almost cripple your second master by just talking, then your second master is too useless, right?" Mo Yun replied calmly.
When it comes to hurting people, he is definitely a hardcore person. At least, the Wang Yan in front of him is not his opponent, or looking at the whole audience, there are not many people who can take advantage of him verbally!
Wang Yan was so angry that he was speechless. After a long time, he raised his sinister eyes, smiled coldly, and said: "To be honest, you did anger me, but I am not Liu Jiang, and I will not fight you here.
, I hope you can still be so confident when you are in the Forest of Beasts, instead of relying on women to be bold."
After saying that, Wang Yan glanced at him like a winner, then winked at the two losers around him, then turned around and left, leaving Mo Yun with an arrogant figure behind him.
Just as he was strutting back the same way, Mo Yun replied in a somewhat contemptuous but very determined tone: "Although you are not Liu Jiang, there is no difference between your endings."
