30. Robbery is not robbery
After a tiring journey, everyone meditated and practiced separately, but fortunately, the rest of the time was safe and sound. After a quiet day, it was finally the day of the big competition.
Qing Ran and the others came to the high platform used for the game early. In addition to the Qingyun faction, other sects also came, and for a while, the square was crowded with people, and small groups of monks gathered.
Just like the previous big competition, after a tirade, the head of the appearance door explained the rules of the game.
The rules of the game are very casual, divided into two venues, and the foundation building period and the gas refining period are on one side. Jin Dan does not participate in the competition, after all, in Qingniuzhou, Brother Jin Dan is already a very great character, how can he still be like a monkey for others to watch.
Each field has ten high platforms, and ten pairs of monks can compete at one time. Regardless of the faction of the people participating in the competition, the opponent is determined by drawing lots, and the same number is caught and fought, as long as one side falls or admits defeat, it is a win. The winner advances to the second round, and the loser is eliminated.
It can't be said whether it was good luck or bad luck, the opponent that Pear Derpy drew in the first round was actually a person from his own sect, the white-haired old man who was at the seventh level of Qi refining. The corners of the white-haired old man's mouth were bitter, and he waved his hand to admit defeat as soon as he got on the high platform, he had seen Derpy make a move, and he couldn't fight with his family?
Qing Ran met a disciple of Shang Tianmen, who was eight feet tall, carrying a giant axe on his back, and cultivating seven levels of qi refining. Shang Tianmen pays attention to refining the body, and enters the Tao with martial arts, this strong man is agile and powerful, and he wields a huge axe vigorously.
With this kind of opponent, it is obvious that you cannot fight in close combat. Although Qingran's body is not weak, he doesn't dare to carry a strong man's axe, even if he doesn't die, the taste of surging qi and blood is enough for him to drink a pot.
The sword light emitted by Qing Ran was always swung away by the strong man's giant axe, causing a slight ripple on the surrounding protective shield. The strong man may have a bad temper, Qingran is always moving and dodging, chasing for a while, the strong man is a little impatient, "Manly man, there is a kind of frontal battle, is it interesting to hide and hide all the time!"
"The agitation method is useless to me, do you think I will be stupid enough to fight with you for physical strength?" Qing Ran looked at the strong man and smiled, "Yes, I will." Qing Ran instantly moved in front of the strong man, raised his fist and struck at the strong man.
The strong man raised his fist and bombarded him, as if he had foreseen Qingran being knocked away by his punch, breaking his arm and ribs. The surrounding onlookers also exclaimed, it was clear that this was killing themselves!
The two fists, one large and one small, quickly docked, but there was no scene as everyone imagined. Qing Ran didn't fly out, and the strong man didn't move, as if two good brothers were gently slamming into fists.
"You lost. Qing Ran opened his mouth slowly, his soul-snatching sword was against the strong man's dantian, the sword light was dazzling and ready to attack, and with just a little force, he could shatter the strong man's dantian. Qing Ran does not have an advantage in melee combat, but the free attack is always dodged and swung away by the strong man's agility, and he can't expose his actual cultivation, so he can only get close to the strong man and hit it with one hit.
However, this strong man's body is really strong, a few points stronger than him, although his arm is a little numb now, but he can still hold on. Moreover, he won.
"Hmph! insidious and cunning, the routine is too deep!" The strong man had to admit defeat, his mouth was not convinced, but he was still a little grateful in his heart. Grateful to Qingran's subordinates for showing mercy, instead of directly stabbing the sword into his dantian, it would be better to kill him directly.
The competition of the Qingyun faction ended one after another, but the results were a little bleak. Only Ye Miaoyin and Elder Zhu were left in the foundation building period to enter the second round, and in addition to Qingran and Pear Derpy in the Qi refining period, only two disciples won, and they all had injuries of varying severity, I don't know if they still have the strength to fight again.
Li Luonan shook his head helplessly, "Don't force it, our strength is too weak, it's important to save our lives." ”
Everyone nodded silently when they heard this, this is not the first time this has happened. Every time Dabi and their sects participated, the results were all defeated, and sometimes they lost their lives.
Pear Derpy looked at everyone's frustrated faces and clenched her fists, she must work hard to cultivate, and one day defeat everyone and make the Qingyun faction raise her eyebrows!
Now that their results have come out today, the people of the Qingyun Sect have no intention of watching the rest of the competition, and they are helping them back to the attic to heal their wounds.
Derpy didn't fight or get hurt, so she hurried up and worked hard to cultivate. only found that the prohibition outside the attic not only restricted people's entry and exit, but also blocked the light of the bright moon and could not absorb it.
So Derpy walked out of the attic, trying to find a secluded place to practice the Burning Sun Xuanyue, and the ghost sent the god to the pond where Qi Yanhong had met Qingran before.
It seems that Qi Yanhong loves this place very much, and Derpy Pear saw Qi Yanhong here again. However, it was another man who met with Qi Yanhong this time.
Derpy quickly took the green smoke armor to the extreme, completely hiding her breath. Secretly lying in place, eavesdropping on what Qi Yanhong said to the man.
Qi Yanhong turned her back to Derpy and said to the man opposite, "You don't serve your master, what are you doing to find me?"
"I'm here to tell you, didn't you let me stare at Qing Ran? Some time ago, he inexplicably disappeared with Derpy Pear for a few days, and when he came back, Derpy actually had the best spirit stone! ”
Because of the angle, Qi Yanhong just blocked the man's face, and Derpy couldn't see it, but felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. And how did he know that he had the best spirit stone? Thinking about it carefully, this voice seemed to be Uncle Qin's disciple, so this was what others called a traitor!
Qi Yanhong said: "Oh? How did you know that Derpy Pear has the best spirit stone? This news is useless, if you have the best spirit stone, you have found the artifact? We can see the best spirit stone everywhere in Helan Continent, why haven't we seen the artifact?"
Ye Yuqi said angrily: "I heard what Li Luonan said with my own ears, saying that when you don't have the ability to have this thing, this thing can't be known to others, and the best spirit stone can't be exposed." I'm fed up with the pie you've drawn, and this news is clearly worth a lot. I don't care what the vicissitudes are, and I don't care what artifacts can be resolved, in short, you want to find a way to contact the sect and let me join the Heavenly Dao Sect first, otherwise I won't get involved in this matter. ”
"Are you threatening me?" Qi Yanhong grabbed Ye Yuqi's neck fiercely, "I can contact the sect, but I don't like others to threaten me, you are not qualified enough!"
As soon as he exerted his strength, Ye Yuqi couldn't move, and Qi Yanhong's cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building was exposed, "Now, I don't need you anymore, go see the king of Hades." ”
Ye Yuqi's eyes widened in horror, if he knew that Qi Yanhong had built a foundation in the middle stage of cultivation, he would not dare to threaten Qi Yanhong. But it was too late, Qi Yanhong sucked up his Yuanyang and vitality, and turned into ashes in a moment.
Qi Yanhong destroyed the corpse and wiped out the traces, cultivated to slowly restore the eighth layer of Qi refining, sorted out the messy clothes, and slowly paced away from this place.
After a long time, Derpy made sure that Qi Yanhong had left, so she cautiously came out and went to the place where Qi Yanhong was standing, but she couldn't find a trace of Ye Yuqi's existence.
At this time, Derpy had no intention of cultivating, and quickly returned to the attic and told Pear Luonan what he had seen and heard.
Qing Ran was also on the spot, contacting the events before and after, that is to say, Qi Yanhong was a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect of Helan Continent in the east, and in order to find the ancient artifact, the sect sent her here to go undercover. And the main purpose of finding the artifact is to resolve the catastrophe. But Qi Yanhong had already entered the Hehuan Valley more than twenty years ago, could it be that the Heavenly Dao Sect had begun to plan this matter at that time?
The great names of the Heavenly Dao Sect have all heard of it, and in the jade slips of the Tibetan Scripture Building, they also know that the Heavenly Dao Sect can peek into the heavens. If it is said that the Heavenly Dao Sect is so righteous, it actually takes time and effort to save the common people in the world, and there is no selfishness in it, I am afraid no one will believe it. Otherwise, why be so sneaky?
Li Luonan stroked his beard, "I'm afraid that this green cow is going to be messed up, and the demon clan also mentioned the catastrophe, and now the Helan Zhou human race is also involved, and the demon clan and the ghost clan are ready to move." The races on the entire Canglan Continent gathered in Qingniu, and they didn't know what this ring was for, and what the Canglan Tribulation specifically meant. ”
The world is in turmoil, and he doesn't have the ability to be involved, but this so-called artifact may be in Qingran's hands. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, he only cares about how to protect his wife and children in this chaos.
After a pause, Li Luonan got up and said: "I'll go and see the head of the Changxiang Sect, these things have to be done in advance, first find out the purpose of the demon clan, understand who is our enemy, and make some preparations." ”
Immediately, Li Luonan went to see Chen Jiyuan, the head of the Changxiang Sect, and informed Chen Jiyuan of what they had sorted out. Of course, except for the fact that the Liucang Ring is in Qingran's hands.
Chen Jiyuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Brother Liluo, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too far-fetched." You and I both know the downfall of Qingniu Continent, our most powerful monks here can't even get out of Qingniu, so why bother with the demon clan and Helan human race? They can completely sweep all the sects of Qingniu. As for the catastrophe you are talking about, it is even more nonsense, for millions of years, this land has always been in constant strife, sects have risen and fallen innumerable, monks have fallen innumerable, mortals are old and sick, and when is it not a catastrophe? When is it a catastrophe? The survival of the strong is an eternal truth. ”
Li Luonan frowned, "I don't know the specific thing, but I definitely didn't lie to you, you can send someone to check the place I said, if there is something like that ring, be sure to destroy it." And that demon clan is lurking under your door, you can summon him to inquire at once, and force him to reveal his prototype. We should fight the enemy together, the so-called strong have to swim against the current to survive, and the strong are the ones who fight hard. ”
Chen Jiyuan sighed and said, "Then I'll believe you once, then I will send someone to explore the ring, summon the core disciple you said to come and inquire, you go back first, and I will discuss with you when there is news." ”
"Then I will take my leave, and remember to destroy the ring, and do not delay. Li Luonan said goodbye to Chen Jiyuan worriedly, and he also wondered, how can this catastrophe be considered a catastrophe?
He thought that in this lost land, the strong man would not be able to patronize it, and he would be able to share his family with his wife and children. Taoguang is obscure, and when Qingyun becomes strong one day, he will be able to complete the ancestral training of the Qingyun faction.
