This arrangement of the major factions in Xiaoshui City brought a lot of trouble to Lin Yan.
If he wants to participate in the city-wide competition to be held twenty days later, he must appear at the drawing site no later than the day after tomorrow, otherwise, the competition quota will be taken away.
But once he appears, his identity will be exposed, and he will face Qing Jue's crazy pursuit.
He knew this better than anyone else. Although Qing Jue was kind on the surface and looked like an immortal, behind the scenes, he was extremely vicious and cruel. He had already experienced this on Long Island.
But he was unwilling to give up this city-wide competition.
The only solution seems to be to kill Qing Jue before the day after tomorrow.
Lin Yan made a decisive decision.
The next day, Lin Yan disguised himself as an ordinary resident, but prepared all the equipment such as war swords and Netherworld soft armor, and was ready to attack Qing Jue.
Yes, the final list of contestants will be announced today, and the on-site draw will be held tomorrow. These two key occasions, Qing Jue will definitely be present, and this is his chance to defeat Qing Jue.
He knew how difficult it was to attack and kill the leader of a large sect and how high the risks were. However, he had no choice.
With a determined heart, Lin Yan strode towards the square in the center of Xiaoshui City.
At ten o'clock in the morning, familiar faces appeared one after another in the center of the square. These people are all powerful figures in Xiaoshui City. Normally it is rare to see one of them, but now they appeared together, which shows that they attach great importance to this ceremony.
Lin Yan was no different from the residents who came to join in the fun. He didn't stand out in the crowd, so he squeezed his way to the front of the crowd without arousing anyone's suspicion.
The time is coming to announce the final list of contestants.
Even those who were just watching the excitement couldn't help but feel excited.
The city-wide competition, which is held every two years, has attracted the attention of the whole city because it was directly related to the mysterious Tiandi City this year.
According to the most ideal estimate, the final contestants will be composed of the top ten young masters from the previous session plus the ten people recommended by each of them, as well as the ten players who stand out after passing the selection competition, that is, a total of thirty people. However, due to the
There had been many changes before, but the actual number of people was not so large.
No, Lin Yan heard the people next to him chatting in the short time before the ceremony started.
"There may be a lot less famous people among the thirty people this time. You see, the Dugu Sword Demon of the Dugu Family will not recommend anyone, so there is one less person among them."
Someone immediately interrupted and couldn't wait to say: "Isn't it? Bai Xiaoyu, who was ranked fourth among the top ten masters, mysteriously disappeared. Although the Bai family did not explicitly say that Bai Xiaoyu was dead, and Bai Xiaoyu's body was not found, I guess
Bai Xiaoyu cannot participate. Tang Jie, who was recommended by the Netherworld Sect, and Wang Tian, who qualified through the selection competition from the Tiansha Sect, are also dead. In this way, there will be five fewer people."
But some people still hope that this time the city-wide competition will be as lively as possible, so they can't help but mutter: "Maybe things are not as exaggerated as you said. What if that Bai Xiaoyu is not dead? He is not dead, he recommended
People are naturally qualified to participate, which is equivalent to adding two more people!"
The person who calculated that there would be five less people sneered and said angrily: "You are too naive. Not only Bai Xiaoyu died, but also Lin Yan died. Calculating like this, among the thirty people, at least
Six people missing."
As soon as everyone heard this, they all became interested in Lin Yan for some reason. There were quite a few people who felt sorry for Lin Yan's "untimely death".
Of course, the reason these people feel sorry is because once Lin Yan dies, he will no longer be able to enjoy a series of good shows.
For example, the invitation to challenge that Dugu Sword Demon once sent to Lin Yan was naturally no longer visible after Lin Yan died.
For example, the most eye-catching battle between Qingfeng and Lin Yan will also come to nothing. Everyone knows that Qingfeng likes Mei Xingxue, but everyone also knows that it is Lin Yan who is rumored to have an affair with Mei Xingxue. In addition,
Originally, the marriage between Qingfeng and Mei Jiangxue was suddenly and mysteriously canceled. Everyone hoped that Lin Yan and Qingfeng would have a big fight to see who could finally win the beauty.
Therefore, after everyone present expressed regret, some people immediately started to pray to heaven with their hands clasped together: I hope Lin Yan is still alive!
Lin Yan was right next to this group of people. He heard these prayers clearly and laughed in his heart: In the eyes of others, the battle between him and Qingfeng would be the focus of the battle, but how did they know that this city-wide competition
His target is only Dugu Sword Demon. In the future, there will be no other young masters of his generation in Xiaoshui City. His target will be Lin Zhilan!
…
Soon, all the big shots in the center of the square finally arrived, and Qiu Li walked to the stage with the list.
Everyone was stunned.
Because the person who read out the list was not Qing Jue, let alone Tian Xuan.
In fact, the representative of Qingwu Sect this time was a law enforcement elder within the sect, and neither Qing Jue nor Tian Xuan showed up.
"What are you doing? On such an important occasion, Qing Jue, as the head of the Qingwu Sect, didn't show up!"
"That is, even if Qing Jue comes, Senior Tianxuan should still show up, right? Is the Qingwu Sect already too powerful to stand up to this competition?"
"As you said, Qingwu Sect is such a big sect and pays more attention to face and authority than other sects. If Qing Jue and Senior Tianxuan hadn't been delayed by something, they would definitely have appeared." A relatively sober-minded person said.
People said this.
Lin Yan paid more attention to this matter.
Because Qing Jue didn't come, it meant that he couldn't launch an attack on Qing Jue today.
With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yan began to search for Qin Haimeng's figure in the crowd. Like some people, he also believed that Qing Jue would definitely not miss this important occasion without any reason, so he had to find out the reason.
Originally, he could ask Qiu Li, but Qiu Li is the leader of a sect and is very attractive. As an ordinary resident, if he talks to Qiu Li, it will be a big flaw in itself, so he decided to look for Qin Hai instead.
Dream.
After a while, Lin Yan walked around to Qin Haimeng's side and let the wind from his fingers pass through the gap between the crowd and hit Qin Haimeng's clothes, attracting Qin Haimeng's attention.
Lin Yan winked, and Qin Haimeng quickly understood and nodded quietly.
Only then did Lin Yan return his attention to the stage.
Qiu Li took the list and read out the names of twenty-three people in total. The seven missing people were Tang Jie, Wang Tian, Lin Yan himself, Bai Xiaoyu and the person recommended by Bai Xiaoyu, and one person who died of illness.
The recommended quota given up by the players and Dugu Sword Demon.
As soon as the list came out, uproar sounded quickly. There was no doubt that the absence of Bai Xiaoyu and Lin Yan represented their death, which instantly dashed the hopes of those who had expected them.
"Hey, Bai Xiaoyu is really dead."
"Hey, Lin Yan actually died on Dragon Island. I can't see the battle between him and Qingfeng."
With different thoughts, people began to disperse gradually.
Of course, some people quickly became excited because the drawing ceremony will be held tomorrow afternoon to start the grouping.
Originally, the lottery could be completed today, but in order to build momentum and gain gimmicks, the heads of the major factions preferred to keep the suspense until tomorrow afternoon.
Lin Yan also left with everyone without any strange behavior, because he believed that Qin Haimeng must be following not far behind him.
Sure enough, Qin Haimeng caught up with him in an alley and completed the disguise in such a short period of time.
Lin Yan knew that Qin Haimeng didn't want to arouse anyone's suspicion, so he kept his story short.
"Why didn't Qing Jue and Tian Xuan show up? Where did they go?"
Qin Haimeng was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Lin Yan to ask such a question. She thought Lin Yan was looking for her to implement a second plan and start a second cooperation with her.
But Qin Haimeng quickly woke up and vaguely guessed the truth. At the same time, he couldn't help being shocked. However, Qin Haimeng still concealed the shock in his heart very well and said calmly: "Tianxuan will go to other cities to visit the old man at this time every year."
My friend, I won’t be back for the next few days. As for why Qing Jue didn’t show up, I don’t know.”
Lin Yan frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with the result.
Qin Haimeng smiled slightly and lowered his voice and said, "I guess Qing Jue's disappearance has something to do with it."
"What's the matter?" Lin Yan asked hurriedly. In front of Qin Haimeng, he didn't have to worry too much. After all, Qin Haimeng would not harm himself before he obtained the complete "Netherworld Xuan Gong Secret Book".
"Qing Jue may be about to break through." Qin Haimeng made a seemingly meaningless statement.
Lin Yan's mind suddenly moved, and he answered: "Qing Jue is preparing to break through from the ninth level of the Sky Control Realm to the Immortal Realm?"
Qin Haimeng nodded and specifically added: "I'm just guessing. As for whether this will help you deal with Qing Jue, I can't guarantee it."
Qin Haimeng finally figured out his plan!
However, Lin Yan is not worried about Qin Haimeng learning about the plan. He is now more concerned about the value of this news.
The Immortal Realm is the stage of borrowing life from heaven. Every time a cruel and dangerous punishment is completed, part of the remaining death energy in the body will fade away, and the strength will be increased by one level, and the life span will be increased by one hundred years accordingly. This is completed five times in total.
If one reaches the sixth level of Immortality Realm as a result of Heavenly Punishment, his life span will be extended by five hundred years.
But at this stage of entering the Immortal Realm from the Sky Control Realm, the warrior also needs to shed the Death Qi, and most of the Death Qi will fade away this time. However, the fading process is not completed by surviving cruel heavenly punishment, but only with the help of
Compared with the myriad of anger at dawn, this process is much safer and easier than the punishment from heaven.
In short, this process is to remove all the body's defenses at dawn, let the thousands of qi stimulate the death energy in the body, and with the help of the power of natural laws, automatically let most of the death energy be swallowed up by the thousands of qi.
.
During the implementation process, the warrior hardly needs to do anything, and does not need to take any precautions to complete it easily.
But Lin Yan found an opportunity to deal with Qing Jue.
"Qin Haimeng, please help me find out the authenticity of Qing Jue's death aura first. I need to confirm this news." Lin Yan said.
Qin Haimeng nodded, and after agreeing on a meeting place with Lin Yan, he hurriedly left the alley.
Lin Yan looked in the direction of Qingwu Sect from a distance and said softly: "Qing Jue, your death has come."
