The two gatekeeper disciples looked stunned. Then he respectfully saluted Xu Tianyang and said:

"Senior brother, how dare you bother Senior Brother without need, Senior Sister Hua Ling's affairs, the manager has already arranged for the two of us. Senior brother, let's go back and accompany Senior Sister Hua Ling."

Xu Tianyang's face sank, and he said coldly: "Where is there so much nonsense, let you go, you can go, what are you talking about?"

"This ......"

"What is this? When did the disciples of the outer hall become so arrogant that they didn't even listen to me? ”

"No, it's not a senior brother."

"Then why don't you get out of the way?"

"No, Senior Brother"

"Huh?"

"Senior brother, this can't work" Although the expressions of the two acquired disciples were a little frightened, their tones were extremely firm, and they looked at the approaching Xu Tianyang and bowed and said:

"Senior brother, although you are the senior brother of the inner hall, but the rules of the family cannot be broken, it is us who guard the wine cellar tonight, this is arranged by the manager, if you want to replace us, you must get the consent of the manager."

Xu Tianyang looked at the wine cellar close at hand, and then looked at the two Xu family disciples in front of him, and sighed in his heart. It seems that it is not possible for him to use Xu Hualing's identity to blend in, thinking of this, Xu Tianyang couldn't help but regret it for a while. I regret that I revealed my identity and mission to Xu Hualing yesterday. If he hadn't revealed it yesterday, he could have continued to visit Xu Hualing today, and then said that he was hungry for wine and wanted to go in and drink a little, presumably Xu Hualing would not refuse.

But now, Xu Hualing has been killed by himself. And tomorrow is the big competition in the middle capital, and Ma Xiansan must be put in tonight. However, the rules of the Xu family were placed there, and the two disciples on the opposite side would not let them in.

Xu Tianyang nodded lightly at the two disciples, and said gently: "Then Xie Lu, thank the two junior brothers, I will go back to accompany Hua Ling."

"Don't dare to be a senior brother"

The two outer hall disciples hurriedly bowed and saluted. Xu Tianyang nodded lightly, turned around and walked towards the road he came. Before he could take a few steps, Xu Tianyang's spiritual power spread in all directions, and he found that there were no other people around, and with his back, he bent his two fingers and flicked them, and the two wisps of finger wind silently hit the sleeping hole of the two outer disciples standing in front of the wine cellar door.

The two outer disciples fell asleep in an instant, and as soon as their bodies went limp, they were about to fall to the ground. At the moment when the bodies of the two people were just a little crooked, Xu Tianyang's figure arrived in front of the two people. Stretching out his hands to hold the two of them, he helped them to the wall of the cellar, and let them lean against the wall.

With a flash of figure, Xu Tianyang entered the wine cellar. Standing in front of the wine jar, he took out a thin tube from the storage bag, one end pointed and the other in the shape of a funnel. Pour some of the hemp san into the funnel, then insert it into the mud seal of the jar and plug the mouth into the funnel. Blow in hard.

Xu Tianyang stood up, pulled out the thin tube from the mud seal, and walked towards the second jar of wine. Suddenly, his body froze, and he stood there motionless. A large hand appeared on his shoulder, pressing him to the point where he could not move.

"Xu Tianyang?"

A thick voice came from behind him, Xu Tianyang was trembling, and he immediately heard who the owner of this voice was, it was Xu Haocang, the master of the torture hall who the disciples of the Xu family were very afraid of.

"Which of the three are you a slave of Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng? Why did you betray the Xu family? Xu Haocang's angry voice came from behind him.

"The hall master...... How did you end up here? ”

"Dog minion, do you think the tricks of the three families will be able to hide from the Xu family? I know that there will be people in this wine cellar to make trouble, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would be our disciple of the Xu family's inner hall who sent you? ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xu Tianyang's eyes, and as soon as he bit his teeth, he bit through the poison hidden in his teeth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Hehehe......" Xu Tianyang suddenly laughed and said in a low voice: "Xu Haocang, Hall Master Xu, do you want to know who sent me here?" ”

"Say"

"Then you go to hell and ask"

As soon as Xu Tianyang's words fell, his body went weak and he fell to the ground. Xu Haocang behind him was shocked, turned Xu Tianyang's body over, and found that a wisp of black blood was flowing from the corner of Xu Tianyang's mouth. Stamped his foot hard. Xu Haocang carried Xu Tianyang's corpse, flew out of the wine cellar, waved his hand to untie the sleeping hole of the two outer hall disciples, and shouted coldly:

"Keep watch over me"

The two outer hall disciples who were in a daze, their bodies were a spirit, and they immediately came to their senses, and their teeth trembled and looked at each other:

"Just now...... That voice is...... The ...... of the Master of the Torture Hall"

Not long after Xu Haocang left the wine cellar, the Xu family dispatched many high-level disciples and rushed to Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianci's clansmen. However, to their disappointment, they were caught by some unsuspecting people, and then Xu Hualing's body was found under Xu Tianyang's bed, but Xu Tianci was missing. According to the memories of the inner hall disciples, they did not see Xu Tianci yesterday afternoon, and it was obvious that Xu Tianci had escaped first.

The matter was quickly suppressed by the high-level of the Xu family, and tomorrow was the day of the big competition in the middle capital, Xu Haoran naturally would not let such a thing affect the morale of the family disciples, but Xu Tianyang's clansmen were all mercilessly beaten into the family prison by Xu Haoran.

In the early morning of the next day, in the central square of the Xu family, the inner and outer hall disciples under the leadership of Xu Haoran, each with a bowl of Zhuangxing wine in their hands, after Xu Haoran's warm speech, everyone drank it all together, and then smashed the bowl to the ground, the scene was magnificent and spectacular.

The Valley of Trials is a huge valley discovered by the four families of the Middle Capital City on the outskirts of the Vast Mountain Range, the valley is inhabited by some demon beasts below the third order, but the most important thing is that there are many kinds of herbs growing in the valley. They are all herbs needed for alchemy, and there are even some herbs that are more precious to the secular world.

After the four families in Zhongdu City found out, they immediately joined forces to take out a large number of treasures, and even each family took out five lower-grade spirit stones, made up twenty spirit stones, and invited a disciple of a small sect to set up a large array, sealing the entire valley.

Those things in the valley, that is, things that were still precious in the secular world, were simply chicken ribs in the eyes of the cultivators in the immortal cultivation world. At the beginning, that disciple was assigned this task by the sect, and at the same time, he was also told whether that valley had any value, and if it was, he would directly occupy it.

Just imagine, how valuable would a valley on the outskirts of the vast mountains be? So, the disciple searched the valley and was disappointed. He casually threw down four non-grade formation maps in the four directions of the east, west, north and south of the valley, sealed the entire valley, and then taught the four families how to open and close, and then left the middle capital city.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm didn't take this place as a thing, but the Xu family, the Li family, the Xiao family, and the Wu family in the secular world. But I think it's a treasure. The four families did not trust each other, and in order to prevent each other from stealing into the valley, they first asked the disciples of that sect to divide the formula for opening and closing the formation into four parts, and each family mastered one of them, so that if they wanted to open and close the big formation, they had to act at the same time for the four families.

Every time there is a big competition in the middle capital, there are four families in the middle capital, the Xu family, the Li family, and the Xiao family. The Wu family will each select four hundred disciples to fight. Two hundred of them were inner hall disciples and two hundred were outer hall disciples. The second master of each family leads the team into the Valley of Trials.

And the foundation building period monks led by each family were not allowed to participate in the Great Competition, and they only entered the Valley of Trials to prevent any powerful demon beasts from suddenly appearing in the Valley of Trials, so as not to cause senseless death.

In the Valley of Trials, Dabi lasts for seven days, and at that time, the ranking is judged based on the total value of the herbs and demon beast inner pills obtained by the disciples of which family. The family in second place will take out one layer of harvest from this trial to the first-ranked family, the third-ranked family will take out two layers of harvest and give it to the first place, and the fourth-ranked family will take out three layers of harvest to give it to the first.

During the entire trial, the monks who led the group were only allowed to stay at the mouth of the valley they had just entered. Only when those disciples encountered demon beasts above the fourth order and released a distress signal could they take action. And the battle between the disciples of the four families was something they could not participate in.

Every time the Great Comparison is tried, the four families will lose a lot of disciples, and those Qi refining stage disciples among these disciples are all elite disciples carefully selected by the family. However, those who are alive after this war will be very different from before, and will become the pillars of each family.

In the center of the central capital, Xu Haoran, Li Wanpeng, Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng came from four directions and converged in the middle. Everyone had a warm smile on their faces, as if they were old brothers they hadn't seen in years.

Behind the four family patriarchs stood the leaders of this time, namely Xu Haoliang, Li Wanbao, Xiao Ruxing and Wu Yue.

These four people were not as well-cultivated as the patriarchs of their respective families, they just arched their hands lightly, and each stood behind their respective patriarchs with a gloomy face.

Behind the team leader were the four hundred disciples of the various families who participated in the trial competition. At the front of the procession of four hundred disciples was their captain.

The captain of the Xu family is Xu Ziyan, after the battle in the inner hall the day before yesterday, Xu Ziyan defeated five disciples of the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining Period in a row, especially the last one who defeated the three disciples of the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining Period alone, and no one in the entire inner hall was dissatisfied with Xu Ziyan. What's more, the high-ranking members of the family know Xu Ziyan's true strength and her commanding ability, if she doesn't be the captain, who will do? It's that Xu Ziyan wants to be low-key. If you don't be the captain, it won't work. Moreover, Xu Dingtian and Xu Haoran also personally called Xu Qi to the two of them, and told Xu Qi to learn more from Xu Ziyan. Therefore, Xu Qi was paying attention to Xu Ziyan all the way, and his eyes almost never left Xu Ziyan, which made Xu Lin and Xu Tianwolf look at Xu Qi vigorously, I don't know if he was wrong today, staring at other girls like this?
