Outside the Ascension Hall, there was a crowd of people. One hundred and eight mountain gate representatives, nearly 10,000 outer sect disciples, all gathered outside the Ascension Hall at this moment, waiting for the arrival of one person.

"Why hasn't this Qi Ji come yet, didn't the master of Zhai Courtyard say that he had already sent someone to inform him. ”

"I think this Qi Ji is scared, so he is deliberately delaying time, so that he doesn't have to participate in the competition, and he can hold the prestige of the only winner of the Little Secret Heaven Realm. ”

"No, I heard that Qi Ji is immeasurably majestic in the Little Secret Heaven Realm, killing all directions, how can he be afraid of the competition. ”

Not only were rumors spread among the disciples, but even among the representatives of the one hundred and eight mountain gates, there were also many discussions.

Zong You, the representative of Nantian Mountain, said to Zhai Wenrui: "Master Zhai, the time for the competition is coming soon, do you want to continue to wait?"

Huoyun, who represented Taoyuan Mountain, immediately stood up and said to Zong You: "The time for the competition has not yet arrived, so naturally we have to continue to wait." Qi Ji must have reached a critical juncture in his cultivation, so he will be delayed, which is also to have better results in the competition. ”

Zong You sneered, "According to what you say, as long as you are cultivating, you can delay the time of the outer gate Dabi at will, and then the happy land is not out of order." ”

Huoyun competed against each other and pointed directly at Zong You, "Zong You, don't forget, you Nantian Mountain disciples can continue to participate in the Outer Gate Competition, but it is all because Qi Ji voluntarily sacrificed the first place in the Outer Gate. If Qi Ji doesn't offer this position, what qualifications do you have to sit here and judge me. ”

As soon as Huoyun said this, everyone present nodded one after another.

"Senior Sister Huo is right, if it weren't for Qi Ji's outer door competition, it would have ended. ”

"It's just a matter of waiting for a moment, and we can afford to waste that time. ”

"There's no harm in waiting, after all, it's not time to start the competition yet. ”

When Zong You heard everyone's words, his face became more and more ugly, and then he looked at Zhai Wenrui and asked directly, "Master Zhai, what do you think now?"

Zhai Wenrui's face did not change, and he said calmly: "The outer gate competition will start according to the original plan, if the time is up, Qi Ji has not come, it can be regarded as his own abstention." ”

Zhai Wenrui, as the head of the Shengxian Academy, is in charge of Nangong Feiyang's cronies, and personally presides over the outer gate competition, so he naturally has the absolute right to speak.

So when Zhai Wenrui said this, the others stopped making a sound, just waiting quietly.

As the clock ticked by, it was noon, the time when the outer gate Dabi began.

Zong You immediately stood up and said loudly: "Noon has arrived, Qi Ji has not arrived, and he will be disqualified from the competition." ”

Huoyun said loudly without giving in, "There are still ten breaths left. ”

Zong You didn't bother to reason with Huoyun, he looked directly at Zhai Wenrui and asked, "Master Zhai?"

Zhai Wenrui squinted at Zong You, and said directly and loudly: "Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight ......"

When Zong You heard that Zhai Wenrui was starting to count down, he knew that Zhai Wenrui deliberately favored Qi Ji and bought him ten more breaths of time.

Zong You couldn't help but snort coldly, "It's just ten breaths of time, I don't believe that Qi Ji can really arrive." ”

The representatives of the one hundred and eight mountain gates present were all masters of the zǐ realm realm, and as long as the spiritual sense was detected, the situation ten miles away could be clearly known.

And now that their spiritual sense is open, they don't even see Qi Ji's shadow at all. They didn't believe that Qi Ji could feel here within ten breaths and travel a distance of ten miles.

Just when everyone thought that Qi Ji couldn't catch up with the game, Zhai Wenrui still read aloud: "Three!"

"Two!"

"One ......"

Before the voice of this last word fell, a streamer suddenly appeared outside the Ascension Hall, and at the same time, a voice appeared in everyone's ears, "Sorry everyone, Qi Ji is late." ”

Qi Ji's sudden appearance immediately shocked the audience. This is not because Qi Ji was shocked that he could come, but because Qi Ji's speed was too fast.

The representatives of the one hundred and eight mountain gates present were all masters of the zǐ realm realm, and their spiritual sense was extremely powerful. But Qi Ji suddenly appeared outside the Ascension Hall, and even their spiritual sense couldn't catch his figure, but they just felt a burst of light.

Everyone present secretly speculated that Qi Ji's speed just now, if he were to change himself, I am afraid it would be difficult to reach. And Qi Ji's cultivation in the Hongqiao realm can show such a fast speed, how can it not be shocking.

Seeing Qi Ji appear, Zong You of Nantian Mountain was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Qi Ji, you are late, the outer gate competition has already begun." Your race qualification, cancelled!"

Qi Ji didn't even look at Zongyou, but bowed to Zhai Wenrui and said, "Master Zhai, Qi Ji is late." ”

Zhai Wenrui waved his hand and said, "It's not too late, the outer door competition hasn't started yet, it's not too late." ”

As soon as Zhai Wenrui's words came out, Zong You immediately retorted: "Master Zhai, I said it just now, there is only ten breaths of time. ”

Zhai Wenrui glanced at Zongyou, "But I haven't said that the outer gate competition has started." ”

Zong You's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Zhai, you can be regarded as deliberately favoring Qi Ji. ”

Zhai Wenrui frowned, looked at Zong You coldly, and said in a cold voice: "I am the master of the Ascension Immortal Academy, it is not your turn to point fingers here, you had better see your identity clearly." ”

Zhai Wenrui's words were very tough, Zong You was suddenly suffocated, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at Zhai Wenrui.

Seeing this, Qi Ji hurriedly said to Zhai Wenrui: "Thank you, Master Zhai. ”

Zhai Wenrui waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, I just did what I should do." ”

Qi Ji nodded, and then fell into the crowd.

Zhai Wenrui cleared his throat and said loudly: "Now that the outer disciples have arrived, the outer door competition has officially begun." There are a total of 172 disciples who have passed the previous elimination assessment. Fourteen of them were so badly injured that they were forced to withdraw from the race. Now counting Qi Ji, there are still one hundred and fifty-nine disciples who have entered the next round of competition. As he spoke, Zhai Wenrui waved his hand, and on the light curtain outside the Ascension Immortal Palace, the names of these people were instantly revealed.

And Qi Ji's name ranks first, which is very dazzling.

Zhai Wenrui waved his sleeves, and a bronze tripod suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Zhai Wenrui patted the bronze tripod and said, "There are a total of one hundred and fifty-nine copper pills in this tripod, all of which are engraved with different numbers. Now you go forward in turn to draw the numbers, according to the number of the catch, the winner will move on to the next round. Because there are only one hundred and fifty-nine disciples now, there will be one bye, that is, the one hundred and fifty-nineth, who will directly enter the next round of competition. ”

After Zhai Wenrui finished talking about the specific rules, everyone was meaningless. A bye is also inevitable, and now it is only up to who has better luck.

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Zhai Wenrui shouted loudly: "Qi Ji, step forward and draw the number." ”

When Qi Ji heard this, he immediately flew forward and came directly to the bronze tripod. Without thinking about it, he put his hand into the bronze tripod and grabbed it randomly.

When Qi Ji took out the copper pill in the bronze tripod, even he himself was stunned for a moment, because the three words engraved on the copper pill in his hand were 'one hundred and fifty-nine'.

Seeing this scene, Zhai Wenrui was also stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "Qi Ji, No. 159, the first bye." ”

As soon as Zhai Wenrui's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and all kinds of speculations were discussed. Qi Ji also felt embarrassed for a while, as if he even felt that he had cheated.
