Chapter 308

Yuan Yi looked at Ling Xiao's stunned expression and was exactly the same as Ling Ji back then, and couldn't help but whisper: "Your father once said that it is his responsibility and obligation as a father that he does everything, and I think it is worth it for him to do all this." ”

"Alas, whether it's worth it or not, how can it be said clearly. Let's not talk about this for now, thank you Brother Yuntong this time, at least I know the news of my father, since this ring was given to you by my father, then it is yours. Ling Xiao handed the ring back to Yuan Yi with no reluctance in his eyes.

Yuan Yi didn't take the ring, and asked with some confusion: "Why do you trust me so much and don't worry about me killing people and taking treasures and plotting against me." ”

Ling Xiao smiled freely: "Since Brother Yuntong took great pains to come to Lingyun Palace for me, how could I doubt you, and besides, what else do I need to worry about with such a talented person as Brother Yuntong, it's not that I'm arrogant, but that's the case." If the facts are so clear, why bother to add more doubts to make yourself feel uneasy. ”

Ling Xiao's words were simple, but there were more people in this world who made him feel uneasy, and even Yuan Yi himself thought that he couldn't see Ling Xiao so thoroughly.

Just listening to the meaning of his words, Yuan Yi frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts:

"Aren't you going to leave Lingyun Palace? And your illness is not incurable. ”

Ling Xiao's expression froze, his eyes didn't know where to drift, he sighed deeply, as if he had made up his mind, and said lightly: "Since Brother Yuntong is here, let's go, so as not to disappoint my father and you." Maybe it's nice to go out and have a look. As for my illness. What makes the difference between good and bad. It's nothing more than a few more years or a few fewer years, and eventually there will be an end for people. It's actually quite good to live like an ordinary person, the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, and it's not much more comfortable to live. ”

Yun Yi listened to Ling Xiao's words, and could only be described as shocked, it was the first time in a long time that she had met a person who lived so clearly, how many people understood. But she is also pretending to be confused, how can she not be like this, but she is willing to face these responsibilities, this is the path she chooses herself. The difference between her and Ling Xiao is that she understands but also knows how to go with her heart, while Ling Xiao has taken a different path and learned to let go of everything. This can't be said to be good or bad, it can only be said that everyone has their own fate, no wonder Yuan Yi felt that Ling Xiao was a little strange, this Ling Xiao's state of mind was obviously about to reach the demigod level like her. Therefore, although he was unable to absorb elemental power because of his madness. But it didn't affect the elemental forces gathered around him in the slightest. That active elemental power naturally made Ling Xiao look ethereal like an immortal, if it wasn't for the inability to cultivate, Yuan Yi was sure that this Ling Xiao's cultivation and achievements were definitely not below her.

Yuan Yi and Ling Xiao talked all day, and in the evening, Yuan Yi returned to the temporary accommodation in a leisurely manner. During this time, Yuan Yi asked Ling Xiao some basic information about Lingyun Palace, and also made an appointment to take him out of Lingyun Palace when the selection of outer disciples was over. Since everything was arranged, on the third day, Yuan Yi didn't go out to hang out, but honestly stayed in the room to cultivate.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the sky was slightly bright, and five or six hundred people had gathered in the hall, and only a few people who participated in the selection of outer disciples had not yet arrived. For example, Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi was the last batch to enter, she was not grinding, but she didn't notice the breath of the white-haired old man and middle-aged man who led them at all, so naturally she was not in a hurry, her lack of urgency seemed a little abrupt.

With Yuan Yi's arrival, after waiting for a while, the figure of a middle-aged man wearing a dark red robe with two silver moire patterns on the cuffs appeared in the hall, and behind him there were two young men in their thirties, and the two young men were also wearing a dark red robe, but there was only one silver moire on the cuffs, and his strength was lower than that of a middle-aged man, but it was also at the level of a two-star of the Holy Order. According to what Yuan Yi heard from Ling Xiao, Yuan Yi knew that these two young men were the elite disciples of the outer sect disciples of Lingyun Palace, and the middle-aged man was the hall master of the outer gate training camp, and the old man with white hair was one of the elders of the outer sect.

The middle-aged man's gray-blue eyes swept over everyone coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, I will take you into the No. 1 arena that only disciples of the outer sect of Lingyun Palace can enter, you have to keep quiet, and those who are noisy and disrespectful will be eliminated directly, now you come with me." ”

Everyone followed behind the middle-aged man, walking slowly down a staircase that stretched down on the right side of the hall. The walls on both sides of the staircase were lit with light beads, and the sight was not affected at all, and after walking for a while, everyone saw a gate delicately depicted with silver moire totems appear in front of them.

The middle-aged man pressed lightly next to him, and a few soft sounds of "click" came, and the gate slowly rose, and a huge square appeared in front of everyone. The square is about the size of a small football field, surrounded by stepped seats, looking at this style and scale is not much different from the arenas of other empires in the Tren Continent, but it is much more gorgeous and delicate here, countless patterns made of gold wire decorate every detail, even the railings around the arena are made of good materials, and extremely fine textures are depicted on it, you have to look carefully to know that it depicts an extremely complete defensive formation, and the effort spent is self-evident.

In the center of this square there are five round platforms with a diameter of twenty meters, and the material and formation patterns on the ground on the round platform are somewhat similar to those of the academy base, but the color is crystal clear silver-white instead of light blue. At this time, there were four outer sect elite disciples standing on each of the five round platforms, each of which was above the holy level, and there was no one else in the surrounding stands except for a few people wearing dark red robes in the main hand position, but Yuan Yi felt that there were a few eyes in the dark that were staring at this side.

The middle-aged man pointed to the five round platforms and said, "The rules for the selection of disciples from the outer sect of Lingyun Palace this time are very simple, you will be randomly drawn into five groups, no matter what method you use, you can get down from the round platform and reach the bottom of the central stand, and the first hundred people to arrive will be considered as if they pass the selection." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This kind of assessment is a bit too bizarre. If everyone on a round platform is attacking in one direction at the same time. Aren't there more than a hundred who can come down? However, although everyone was puzzled, none of them asked a question, and no one wanted to directly lose their qualification to enter Lingyun Palace.

The middle-aged man glanced at everyone, ignoring everyone's doubts, and glanced at a young man behind him, who flipped his hand, took out a big box out of nowhere, and walked in front of everyone. The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Line up and take turns to draw lots." ”

Everyone immediately stepped forward to draw lots in order. Yuan Yi came relatively late, in the back position, and it was her turn after half an hour, and Xueyao and the others before her had already drawn lots early. Looking at the number row in his hand with five characters written on it, Yuan Yi glanced at it and walked directly towards the round platform with five characters written on it.

"You're in this group, too." Blood Yao's deep voice had an imperceptible look of surprise.

Yuan Yi looked behind him, there was no one else, they were unlucky, Lyle and the twin brothers should have been in other groups. Nodding slightly at Xueyao, he said, "What a coincidence." "Take a leap. Jumped on the round platform. Xueyao pursed his lips, trying to say something but with a hesitant look.

"I counted down to three times before the selection officially began. One ......," said the middle-aged man under the round stage at this time.

Seeing that the selection competition had officially kicked off, the blood-red eyes flashed with an inevitable light, and his expression became focused, and the other people on the round platform were also like him, with fiery lights shining in their eyes. Compared with their caution, Yuan Yi seems a little casual, and it can't be said that she doesn't care, it can only be said that the enthusiasm that is deliberately disguised is still a step worse in the end, but there are more than a hundred people, and she seems inconspicuous. But this is only for most people, but for some unexpected people, she is especially noticeable.

As the middle-aged man's words of the word "one" fell, the four elite disciples of the outer sect who were originally standing still on each round platform immediately moved, and the neat and fast seal in their hands, as the middle-aged man's word "three" fell, their seal had been completed, and their hands were opened at the same time, and a round pale golden light mask directly enveloped the entire round platform.

"Defensive formation" Yuan Yi's voice was surprised, this kind of formation manipulated by people is not the first time Yuan Yi has seen it, she has seen it as early as when Lingyun Palace was dealing with Limo. But that's the offensive type.,It's the first time I've seen this defensive type.,This kind of formation with people as the heart of the formation has been lost for a long time.,Now there are more of the formation runes that are drawn.,But most of them are also incomplete.,With the magic crystal as the heart of the formation, it can barely show the power of the formation.。 This kind of people-oriented formation, if the caster's control and tacit understanding are not enough, most of them will end up ruined and killed, and if there is no complete formation mental method, most of the people will try to cultivate. However, this formation does have a lot of benefits, it can combine the strength of several people, and the strength can at least be forcibly improved by three stars or more.

Xueyao on the side listened to Yuan Yi's whisper, and also nodded, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Now it's troublesome, the formation has been completed, and it's not so simple to break through." This kind of large-scale defensive formation, even if we gather the strength of all the people to break through a little, it is difficult to break through with our strength, and these people who cast the formation have all reached the strength of the Holy Rank. ”

Yuan Yi didn't answer him, just glanced at a few round platforms lightly. As they spoke, many people had already rushed in all directions, not to be left behind, and the weapons slashed on the light mask with a "bumper" sound, but they did not move at all.

Yuan Yi looked at the solemn look on Xueyao's face, hesitated whether to help or not, sighed in his heart, and whispered: "This formation seems scary, but it leaves a key point, that is, those few people who cast the formation, they did not go out of the formation, but stayed in the formation. ”

Hearing this, a light quickly flashed in Xueyao's blood-red eyes, and he almost murmured in a low voice: "What do you mean is that if you directly challenge these four people, you may have a chance to go out, but they are all saint-level strength, and their strength should be improved with the blessing of the formation, so if you fight like this, most of them will not be able to get benefits." ”

Yuan Yi didn't say anything, just pointed to a round platform not far away, the person was facing away from them, and there was obviously another one-meter-long crack behind the person, but because of the line of sight, it was difficult to find.

"Huh...... I know. "Blood Yao doesn't need Yuan to say anything again, he has already fully understood, in fact, their task is not difficult, just find the exit, dodge the attack of the rift guard, and take the opportunity to pass through the rift. This selection competition is a test of their eyesight and judgment, which may seem to be useless, but it is crucial in the face of the enemy. There are many proud people in the sky these days, and some of them have been promoted by pills. Although it seems to be good at the moment. But it is much weaker than those who have really gone through hardships and broken through their strength. For a short time, because the cultivation is higher. The gap is not obvious, but in the future, especially when breaking through the Holy Rank and after breaking through the Holy Rank, each star will need to be comprehended by the individual, and the gap will be obvious.

Xueyao and Yuan Yi glanced at each other, their feet were tapped, and their figures rushed towards the round platform like arrows from the string, and the cultivation of the four people on the round platform was the lowest. A short man who had just broken through the first star of the Holy Order. At the same time as the two of them were rising in shape, they had already completed the summoning and transformation of the elemental spirits, and they had already begun to seal in their hands. Blood Yao's attack came first, he was a fellow cultivator of the earth and wood elemental spirits, and he didn't leave his hands behind when he was together, and directly cast the fusion technique. I saw a huge hole open in the ground under the man's feet, which was five meters long and two meters deep, and at the same time, seven or eight spikes protruded from the crack, directly attacking the man's lower rock.

The man has a lot of experience in facing the enemy, and he is not flustered, and he quickly makes a simple seal with both hands. A golden semicircular shield rose from beneath his feet, directly blocking Blood Yao's attack. When the two of them were fighting. Yuan Yi's attack also followed, and she quickly shot out a scorching fire snake in her hand and attacked the man's left side, of course, she completely controlled her strength at the level of the king-rank seven-star. When the man saw her attacking, he didn't dodge, and with a flip of the palm of his right hand, he added a long sword, and with a wave of his hand, he directly split the fire snake from the middle, and the condensed fire element turned into a little spark and dissipated.

Yuan Yi frowned slightly, and immediately put his foot on the opponent's blade, pulled away, and Xueyao immediately withdrew. In the blink of an eye, the turquoise ground returned to its original state, as if nothing had just happened, and the repair ability of this ground was superior to that of the academy base. Yuan Yi and Xueyao glanced at each other, without words, with their rich combat experience, both of them could understand what was in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, this man is actually a dual cultivation of martial arts, no wonder his strength is lower, but he is also an elite disciple, it seems that his combat strength is not much different from that of several others. However, although the attack failed, Yuan Yi saw that the man, as the heart of the formation, could not leave the place, and it seemed that the other party could only defend and did not kill them.

Yuan Yi and Xueyao didn't pause for too long, and attacked again, but before their attack arrived, several figures took the lead in rushing towards the man, after Yuan Yi and Xueyao's movements, others also noticed some signs, and seemed to have discovered the existence of cracks, so they attacked the four of them together, and naturally Yuan Yi and Xueyao also had people coming over.

Seeing a few people attacking, the man snorted coldly with disdain, swept the horizontal sword, and the golden elemental power directly swept several people away. Yuan Yi and Xueyao were happy, and attacked at the same time, a water tank-thick flame-like thorn and eight alternating yellow and green spears directly attacked from the left and right sides, the man didn't have time to retract the long sword at this time, changed the momentum, and directly cut off the threatening flame thorns, and then was forced to tilt to the left, vent the spear's attack, and then cut off the eight spears with a horizontal sword.

Xueyao had already taken advantage of this gap and quickly passed through the crack directly, and at the speed of Yuan Yi, he could completely pass through after him. Yuan Yi deliberately deviated by an inch, and was just swept by the man's sword, and the sharp blade directly cut through the skin of his right shoulder, and bright red blood oozed out. Yuan Yi pretended to be in pain, hugged his shoulder and retreated, the wound seemed hideous, but it was not very serious.

Just as Yuan Yi retreated, everyone on the round platform saw that Xueyao had successfully gone out, and the scene instantly became enthusiastic, and the other four people on the round platform also discovered this trick, and everyone rushed to follow suit. The so-called strength of many people, muddy waters can fish, whether it is really strength or good luck, after two hours have passed, a small half of the people have successfully gone out, and it seems that the amount of a hundred people is almost a hundred, and the people on the round platform have become more crazy, and all kinds of tricks to press the bottom of the box have been exhausted. Yuan Yi was naturally among them, but she seemed to do her best, but every time she reached a critical point, she was blocked back, so that everyone watching was in a cold sweat for her, and sighed that her luck was really a little back.

Lyle under the round stage whispered to Xueyao: "There is something wrong with Yun Tong, why is it that every time he is either knocked back, or he just happens to meet the timing of the opponent's return to defend and change his move, this may not be too coincidental." ”

Xueyao ignored him, his eyes looked at Yuan Yi, who seemed to be desperate on the round platform, and the corners of his mouth lifted a somewhat clear smile, and his originally silent face immediately became soft, like a spring flower in full bloom, but the smile flashed, and no one noticed it. Xueyao still felt a little guilty in his heart just now, but the more he looked at Yuan Yi's actions, the guilt turned into doubts, and in the end, it turned into a clear understanding, so it was.

"The selection is over" When the last lucky person was born, the middle-aged man who led the team directly announced that the selection competition was over, and the elite disciples of the outer gate of Lingyun Palace on the four round platforms immediately dispersed the formation and flew down. The rest of the people on the stage were all depressed and depressed, Yuan Yi lowered his head, no one could see her expression clearly, and thought that she was also very depressed because of this.

"In addition to the hundred people selected to stay and participate in the distribution, the other eliminators followed them back to their temporary accommodation, packed their luggage, you still have half a day to stay in Lingyun Palace, and tomorrow morning, someone will pick you up." The middle-aged man pointed to the two young men behind him and announced loudly.

Yuan Yi jumped down from the round platform with the big army "dejectedly", and slowly moved forward, but no one noticed that the face covered by long hair showed a sense of relief. At this point, it can be said that the dust has settled, and she can finally fulfill her promise and leave with Ling Xiao in peace. But there is a good saying, the world is unpredictable, things are not until the last step, the result is always unpredictable, often unexpected.

Just as Yuan Yi jumped off the round platform, he hadn't gone far when he heard a lazy voice sound: "Liu Yuntong, stay." The voice was not loud, but it was very clear into everyone's ears, as if it was a loud sound, waking up the people in despair, whispering, looking suspicious, and watching the excitement......

The familiar voice, lazy and extremely magnetic, is unforgettable once you hear it. But when Yuan Yi heard it, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his body stiffened for half a second, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally turned into a calm face, and when he raised his head, he had already changed into a dazed face, and he was still the familiar appearance of an honest man, and even the smirk on his face was so appropriate.

The others, including the middle-aged man who led the team, were also at a loss when they heard this abrupt voice, but he was obviously afraid of the owner of this voice, and shouted at everyone: "Liu Yuntong can stay, and the others leave quickly." ”

The two young men heard the words of the middle-aged man, and led everyone away faster, leaving Yuan Yi alone in the long procession. Yuan's expression remained unchanged on his face, but his heart was turning back and forth, and he didn't know what would happen to this big man next, could he see something, but where did it arouse his suspicions, he thought that the selection of disciples from the outer sect of Lingyun Palace should not alarm this big man, but the god of luck still abandoned her again. An accidental chance encounter was remembered by this big man, which felt really uncomfortable......

When all the eliminated people except Yuan Yi left, two figures flew down from the compartment on the second floor, one of them was Elder Namu, the other was dressed in white, floating out of the dust, dark blue long hair fluttering in the wind, and the handsome and unparalleled face always had a playful smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, it was Ling Feng, the young palace master of Lingyun Palace, staring at Yuan Yi with those eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world, the corners of his beautiful lips lifted, and his magnetic voice was as elegant as a cello.

"Long time no see, little brother."

Yuan Yi instantly felt that he was a mouse who was targeted by a cat, the yin wind blew in gusts, his back was cold, and the corners of his mouth lifted to reveal an innocent smile with joy, and his expression was a little silly and a little stupid: "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Well, yes." Ling Feng replied with a little meaning, turned his head to look at the old man beside him, and said, "Elder Mu, I want this person, so I will arrange for him to be an errand in my other courtyard." (To be continued......)
