Chapter 190: The Game Begins
Chu Ke and Qian Wanli lived in the Worry Elimination Party for several days in a row.
In the past few days, the envoys of Tianlongmen have also come twice, conveying the next orders and information respectively.
In the Eastern Regions, the area already east of Lizhou has completely entered the hands of the barbarian witches.
Not only the undead, but also the masters and armies of the Barbarian Witch Continent have also been stationed in the cities of these lands.
Of course, the small Falling Rock City has also entered the control of the barbarian witch.
"Immortal Venerable, in the past few days, there has been no action in the Barbarian Witch Continent. ”
Qian Wanli accompanied Chu Ke, wandering around the mountain peaks near the Worry Elimination Sect while talking about what had happened recently.
"Yes, but it's temporary. Chu Ke said.
"You have been a hall master for so many years, and you have been in a comfortable place like Lizhou, and you will not experience the wars between sects, and you have rarely seen even the wars before the mortal country, right?"
"If nothing else, in three days at most, one of the barbarian witch armies in the east and west will launch an attack of scale. ”
Chu Ke has been out for many years and knows something about war.
The war between mortals depends on armor, tactics, numbers, and the right time, place, and people.
And the war between immortal cultivators is even more complicated, not only are there factors between mortals, but also the cultivation and number of masters on both sides are also an important influence.
Although the role of a master in the confrontation between the two armies is limited, the impact on morale is still quite important.
For example, between two mortal armies, one of them has a "Shangxian" in charge, then the morale of this army can be imagined.
"It has been five or six days since the fall of Lizhou, and what should be rectified is almost rectified. The next thing is to go head-to-head with those sects on the Eight Grades of the Ancient Ancients. ”
Chu Ke stopped and looked at the buildings of the Anxiety Elimination Sect on the opposite peak, his eyes full of worry.
"We know almost nothing about the Barbarian Witch Continent, but they have actually infiltrated the traitors on the continent. The Blood God Sect was discovered, so what else hasn't been discovered? I can't imagine it......"
Chu Ke was worried, and his face was worried.
He now felt that the buildings of the Anxiety Suppression faction in front of him might one day be burned to ruins in the raging flames of war.
Moo――
A melodious horn sounded, and Chu Ke saw that many flagpoles had been raised among the Worry Elimination Sect.
The black-edged and white-edged flags fluttered in the wind, and the flags were painted with the symbols of the sect of the Worry Elimination School.
Many disciples in the sect gathered together in the martial arts training ground in the back mountain, and the martial arts training ground was suddenly filled with a vast sea of people.
The once-in-a-century replacement meeting of the Anxiety Elimination faction has begun.
Chu Ke and Qian Wanli came to the viewing table after the horn sounded.
Cheng Wei is also watching the ceremony, he has been cultivating alone outside for many years, although his cultivation is extremely high, but he does not have too high prestige in the sect.
This time, he did not participate in the replacement conference.
On the podium of the martial arts training ground, the head of Si Tianya stood on it.
Si Tianya looked at the disciples in the audience, and said loudly: "Fellow disciples of the Worry Elimination Sect, today is the once-in-a-century head replacement meeting of my Worry Elimination Sect. ”
"Since its founding, the Anxiety Elimination School has always adhered to the purpose of meritocracy and meritocracy. Therefore, the purpose of each replacement meeting is to select the sages and capable people in the sect to lead everyone. ”
Si Tianya stood on the podium and spoke the opening speech, and there were ten people standing behind him, who were the candidates for this replacement conference.
Chu Ke looked at it from afar, and sure enough, that Gu Qilan was also among them.
Replacing the cultivation and virtue of the candidates examined by the conference, Gu Qilan was responsible for teaching the basic skills of the disciples of the Anxiety Elimination School, although it was strict, but it also had a lot of prestige.
After all, after the basic skills are well established, those disciples will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when they cultivate in the future.
The further they got, the more they will naturally appreciate the rigorous basic exercises back then.
"The seventh junior brother is still good, but he is too utilitarian. When Shizun was alive, he was always worried about this and often taught him with a commanding face. Cheng Wei sighed.
"It's a pity that Shizun died early. For the correction of the temperament of the seven junior disciples, they haven't had time to correct all of them. ”
"Seeing that his ** senior brother held this conference at a time when he was busy with affairs, I knew that the work that Master had done before was almost in vain. ”
After speaking, Cheng Wei let out a long sigh.
"Utilitarianism is heavy, and sooner or later something big will happen. Qian Wanli said, "I have seen too many examples of this. ”
Cheng Wei nodded, he also agreed with Qian Wanli's words.
The three of them watched from the viewing seat, and the replacement meeting below had begun to enter the competition stage.
First of all, compared to the prestige of ten people, there are not many disciples of the Worry Elimination Sect, and the sect that occupies several mountains has only more than a thousand disciples.
Each disciple was given a blank piece of paper on which he wrote the name of one of the ten.
The white paper is then folded and placed in a wooden box in front of the podium.
When the last disciple threw the blank paper into it, the two elders of the Anxiety Elimination Sect came over and opened the box to count the votes of each of the ten people.
The results came out quickly, Gu Qilan was among the ten people, and his reputation actually ranked fourth.
Han Haisha, the second senior brother who also participated in the election, is one place behind him.
At the end of the first round, the first place is worth six points, the second fifth place, the third four points, the fourth and fifth three points, the sixth and seventh two points, and the last three places each have one point.
The prestige contest is over, and the next thing is the cultivation contest.
Ten people draw lots, divided into five groups to face each other, and after the five people are decided, each of the five people will add one point.
Five people are divided into two groups, one person has a bye, two people are decided, and three people get two points.
The three men were given one night to prepare, and on the second day, they each competed against the other two, and won one game to score two points.
The winner with the highest overall score is the winner of the conference.
As long as the leader wins the next competition with the leader, then the position of the leader will be held by the leader.
The competition may not necessarily be a cultivation, but it may also be something else.
"Very reasonable arrangement. Chu Ke said, "The last three places in prestige are not suitable for being the heads, but if their cultivation is high enough, then in the end, there is still hope that the total score will surpass the first place in the first round." ”
"Because it can be an adult candidate, it must have a certain mass base. In addition, if his cultivation is strong enough, everyone in the sect will also be convinced of him. ”
Soon, the first of the second round of cultivation competition will begin.
Gu Qilan and his junior brothers were not assigned to a group, and his opponent was a sect elder.
"Cheng Wei, how is your cultivation as a seventh junior brother?" Chu Ke asked.
"Back to the master, the seventh senior brother was before I left the sole cultivation. Cultivation is in the middle stage of sanctification, and now that a hundred years have passed, it must also be the peak of cultivation in the late stage of sanctification. Cheng Wei said.
"What about how you compare?" Chu Ke asked again.
"I should be stronger. Cheng Sha replied, "Before the master passed away, he taught me more than the seventh junior brother. The Seventh Senior Brother did not get as much true transmission from the Master as I did, and the Master of the Ling Weng Sword Master only taught it to the Senior Brother and me. ”
"So I haven't been back for years, but I'm still sure to beat him. ”
Chu Ke nodded, and then stopped asking, but quietly watched the game of the replacement conference.
Ten people in five groups at the same time, I don't know which of the remaining five people will be?
The competition in the five-person group of ten people was very fierce.
However, because everyone is in the same door, although the fight is fierce, they all tacitly do not use too much true qi, and most of them are using martial arts.
Maybe before they fight, they already have an understanding of each other's strength.
So after these five competitions, it didn't take much time for the five winners to qualify.
Gu Qilan and his junior brother Yin Ruhua were among the five, and the second senior brother Han Haisha unfortunately met the hall master of the Criminal Law Hall.
The master of the criminal law hall has always been elected as a strong person.
Although Han Haisha was Yu Sanzhou's second apprentice, his skills were slightly inferior to others, and he was defeated.
"Who is the person who won Han Haisha? I feel that not only is his true qi cultivation, but his martial arts are also very powerful. Chu Ke asked.
"Back to the master, the one who won my second senior brother should be Xiao Yunyang, the master of the Criminal Law Hall. Cheng Wei said.
"In the Worry Elimination Sect, in addition to our five senior brothers, Xiao Yunyang is also one of the top masters. In terms of strength, I think among the people below, only my senior brother dares to say that he can win against him. ”
Xiao Yunyang, the master of the Criminal Law Hall of the Anxiety Elimination Faction.
He is an immortal cultivator who has cultivated for thousands of years, and his strength at the peak of the late stage of entering the sainthood is also inseparable from Cheng Wei.
Among the strongest people in the Worry Elimination Sect, this Xiao Yunyang is definitely one of them.
In the time of speaking, the five people who won had already drawn out their respective opponents.
Gu Qilan was very lucky, and he actually won a bye.
Among the remaining four people, Yin Ruhua unfortunately won Xiao Yunyang.
Looking at Yin Ruhua's disappointed expression, it is estimated that he will directly abstain next.
"The fourth senior brother was really unlucky, and he met Xiao Yunyang. ”
Cheng Wei saw that the expression on Yin Ruhua's face was very exciting, and couldn't help but smile.
The five-player two-game match was much longer than the previous one, mainly because the other game was a little longer.
Yin Ruhua knew that he was not Xiao Yunyang's opponent, so he directly abstained from fighting.
In the other group of people, the strength of the two people is not equal, so the fight is much more intense.
In the end, it took most of the time to split the results after playing most of the incense sticks.
Xiao Yunyang, Gu Qilan and another person became the last three.
The scores of the three were eight points for Xiao Yunyang, six points for Gu Qilan, and five points for that person.
The three of them stood on the podium, and Gu Qilan still had that smile on his face.
"It's not good...... Gu Qilan said in his heart, "Xiao Yunyang's strength is so strong, how can I beat him in the next two competitions?"
Xiao Yunyang has eight points, Gu Qilan has six points, and even if Gu Qilan wins both games, it is only ten points.
And Xiao Yunyang only needs to win one game, which is ten points.
With Xiao Yunyang's strength, it is a sure thing.
But Gu Qilan didn't think that his strength was an easy thing to win two games.
"This Xiao Yunyang, it's good to put the master of the Criminal Law Hall in a good manner, what kind of boss is he fighting for!" Gu Qilan scolded in his heart.
"No, I must be the head of this house. The third time, this is the third time. ”
"The first two times I didn't cultivate enough to lose to others, this time I can't lose again. I've been practicing my stunts for 50 years, and I can't afford to lose!"
The first day of the competition has ended, and the last three candidates will be able to compete tomorrow when they recover and have a final competition.
"Immortal Venerable, who do you think will succeed?" asked Qian Wanli.
"It should be said that it is Xiao Yunyang, because he is indeed very strong. Chu Ke said.
"However, if Xiao Yunyang wins. So after this replacement conference, Tianya is still in charge. ”
"Actually, I think that the senior brother can continue to be the head of the house, and it is really unnecessary to replace the conference. Cheng Wei said loudly.
"Senior Brother has been in charge of the sect for more than three hundred years, and everything in the sect has been managed in an orderly manner for the past three hundred years, and he has not committed any offence against the surrounding mortals and the various sects. ”
"Everyone in the Worry Elimination Sect admires Senior Brother a lot, if Senior Brother stands in the middle of those ten people, then that prestige ranking is simply superfluous. ”
Si Tianya, that is, Zhong Bu complained in the eyes of the disciples of the Worry Elimination Sect.
Over the past 300 years, the prestige accumulated by the head is unparalleled.
Impartial, clear rewards and punishments, this is Zhong Bu's reputation.
There is Zhong who does not complain about being in charge of the Elimination of Worries, and the Elimination of Worries faction also has an excellent reputation among the people.
"Yu Sanzhou is also for the sake of the future of the worry faction. Chu Ke said.
"Even if it is an immortal venerable, there will be a day when the body dies. The replacement conference can ensure the prosperity of the anxiety faction. Even if the end of the world goes someday, there will be another person to support the Worry Elimination faction. ”
If you want a sect to prosper forever? Of course.
Like the Tianlong Sect, as long as there is a Nirvana powerhouse in this sect, it can be easily done.
In this world, only the strong ones of Nirvana are immortal, and the Immortal Venerable can only live for three thousand years.
Only those who are strong in Nirvana can make eternal guarantees.
But is it possible? Is nirvana so easy to achieve?
Looking at the number of Immortal Venerables on the entire continent, and then looking at the number of Immortal Venerables, you can see how difficult it is to become an Immortal Venerable alone.
With the end of the conference, the disciples on the martial arts training ground gradually dispersed.
Si Tianya on the podium was just about to leave when a disciple presented him with a token engraved with a dragon's head.
Si Tianya took the token and looked at it, and immediately gave a few orders to the disciple.
Then he flew to the viewing seat and made a gesture to Chu Ke.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ke asked.
"Master, the messenger of the Heavenly Dragon Gate is here. Si Tianya said, "I'm waiting halfway up the mountain, let's go see you together." ”
"Good. Chu Ke said.
After a while, Si Tianya and Chu Ke came to the halfway up the mountain.
At the same time, several other important figures in the sect also joined Si Tianya on the way.
Everyone flew to the compound halfway up the mountain to meet the waiting envoy of the Tianlongmen.
"When the envoy comes, Zhong does not complain about the loss of welcome, and please make the envoy not strange. ”
As soon as Si Tianya entered the compound and arrived at Huatang, he saw a young man with extraordinary equipment, sitting on a chair and slowly drinking tea.
Behind him stood two retinues, and the aura on those two retinues felt unusual.
"Is the bell in charge? When the messenger saw them coming, he put down his teacup and returned the salute to them.
As soon as this person stood up, Chu Ke found that the messenger who came here was his acquaintance Wen Lingzi.
"Fellow Daoist Wen Lingzi?"
"Ling Daoyou?"
Wen Lingzi, like Chu Ke, also recognized each other, and the two of them immediately laughed.
"I didn't expect to see Wen Lingzi here. Chu Ke said.
"Haha, I didn't expect that after Ling Daoyou left Falling Rock City, he actually happened to be in the Worry Elimination Sect. Wen Lingzi said with a smile.
The two of them smiled like this, but the other people were at a loss for a while.
