The county capital of the southeast state, above the main hall.

The white owl and the elders of the clan sat down in the lobby.

"How's things going?" asked the white owl lightly as he flipped through the booklet handed over in his hand.

"Back to the county king, almost all the city lords in Southeast Prefecture replied to the news and were willing to help the county king. One of the elders replied.

"How many haven't replied?" said Bai Xiao.

"The five families all have the shadow of the town king's mansion. An elder said.

Bai Xiao put down the booklet in his hand, looked at everyone, and snorted coldly: "Five families, hmph, how can you guarantee that among those city lords who are willing to help me, there is no shadow of the king of Zhennan?"

"This—" The elder was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.

"What's going on over there with the patrol?" Bai Xiao didn't pursue anymore and asked indifferently.

The elder hesitated and said, "This... There are a lot of open and secret guards in the mansion where the patrol envoy lives, and the guards are very strict, and there is no need for the subordinates we arranged, so..."

"So... I don't know anything about the patrol envoy?" the white owl raised his eyebrows and looked at the elder with a cold gaze.

"It's not that we don't know everything, our eyes have been paying close attention to the Inspector's Mansion, and we haven't seen the Inspector show up, so there must be no movement. ”

"Presumably, I can rest easy by relying on your speculation?" said Bai Xiao coldly.

Hearing Bai Xiao's words, the elder was speechless again, his expression was terrified, and a trace of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Pay more attention to the patrol envoys, and even if a fly flies out of it, report it to me!" Bai Xiao said.

"Yes!" the elder hurriedly replied.

"And the same is true of Zhennan Mansion, I want to know all my whereabouts. The white owl pondered for a moment and added again.

"Yes!"

Bai Xiao picked up a booklet again, but asked casually: "Today is the first day of the year-end competition of the Fighting Spirit Sect, right?"

"Exactly, this year-end big competition, Ou Xiaofeng attaches great importance to it, and he will personally observe it every year, and this year is no exception, early in the morning, the Fighting Soul Sect has been closed, and it will no longer accept guests. Another of the elders said.

"It's a good thing to pay attention, maybe it can bring me a good ranking this year. The white owl chuckled, and then said lightly. "After the year-end competition, I will level the net altar, I have no patience to wait, the patrol can not be done, I always feel that something is wrong, finish it early, so as not to dream too much at night. ”

"Yes!"

Fighting Soul Sect.

Outside the Tianquan Peak corridor, a seal appeared, blocking anyone who wanted to go up the mountain.

From today until the end of the year-end competition, the Fighting Soul Sect refused to accept guests.

Not only that, except for Tianquan Peak, there was no one in the other six peaks, and all the cultivators from the Fighting Soul Sect gathered in Tianquan Peak Square.

At this moment, Tianquan Peak, disciples came from all directions, hundreds of thousands of disciples gathered in the square, and for a time it was crowded, lively and extraordinary, and the scene was extremely grand.

Although there are many disciples, they are still arranged in the order of the outer gate, the inner door, the personal transmission, and the elite pavilion on the square, and at first glance, it is also very orderly.

In front of the square, there is a platform, on which dozens of seats are placed for the head of the elder to sit.

At this moment, the seats were already full of the elders in the sect, each closing their eyes and resting, waiting for the head of the sect to come and preside over the overall situation.

"Brother Du!" Among the disciples, far away, Han Hong and Li Kun walked towards Du Chao together.

After Du Chao broke through to the Huadan Realm, he had already been accepted by the elders of Yuhengfeng as his own inheritance, so the position he stood was also some distance from Han Hong and Li Kun, and when he saw the two of them coming, he smiled slightly: "Why are you two here? This is Yuhengfeng's camp, shouldn't you two stand in front of your respective camps and wait?"

"Isn't that not the beginning yet? We're coming to you for some news. Li Kun said with a smile.

"Have you ever seen Ling'er?" Du Chao asked.

"I haven't seen it, and I guess I'm still cultivating in the Soul Refining Tower. Han Hong said.

Hearing this, Du Chao showed a worried look and said: "What can I do about this, the competition of the outer disciples will end in three or five days, and if he doesn't come out at that time, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the competition." ”

"Don't worry, such an important big competition, Ling'er won't forget it, didn't Ou Qian'er help him sign up?" Li Kun said.

Du Chao nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

"Brother Du, have you figured out the format of this competition?" Li Kun suddenly asked.

Du Chao looked at the two of them and said in surprise: "You don't know yet, do you?"

Li Kun and Han Hong glanced at each other and laughed awkwardly.

At the same time, Ou Xiaofeng's figure finally walked out of the Dou Temple, and the originally lively square was instantly silent.

Ou Xiaofeng stood on the steps, overlooking the disciples, his aura was lofty, and beside him, there were two figures.

Ou Qian'er and Yue Zijie.

"Qian'er, go ahead. Ou Xiaofeng touched Ou Qian'er's head and commanded.

Ou Qian'er nodded, didn't say much, walked towards the stage, and finally stood in front of the disciples of the Elite Pavilion.

After Ou Qian'er stood still, Ou Xiaofeng sat at the top of the platform and nodded to Yue Zijie on the side.

Yue Zijie instructed and bowed to the elders, and then walked to the front of the platform.

Between the gestures, it is all down and generous.

Looking around at the disciples in the square, Yue Zijie's voice containing spiritual power reached everyone's ears.

"My name is Yue Zijie, and I am the chief of the Elite Pavilion, and next, I will introduce the competition system to you. ”

"As in previous years, the outer disciples will conduct a ladder competition, the top 1,000 are the winners, enter the inner gate, and the top 10 have the qualifications of the elders of each peak to be accepted as a personal lineage, and get one million contribution points, the first place, and one merit!"

"The inner disciples are the spiritual realm points knockout competition, the time limit is one month, the venue is within the spiritual mirror, each person is one point in itself, and when the two fight, others cannot interfere. All points for the loser go to the winner. If you fail to meet the points requirements within the specified time, you will be eliminated until the first place appears!"

Saying this, Yue Zijie turned around and bowed to Ou Xiaofeng.

Ou Xiaofeng nodded, then waved his sleeves forward, and suddenly, on the side of the square, a huge illusion entrance suddenly appeared.

The entrance of this illusion is round, with a diameter of dozens of zhang, and the body exudes a brilliant colorful light, which looks like a fantasy.

"Now, the Outer Gate Heavenly Ladder Tournament is the beginning! All the outer disciples, enter in an orderly manner!"

Ou Xiaofeng's faint voice reached everyone's ears, and as soon as the command was given, the figure suddenly became restless, and there were 90,000 outer disciples who walked towards the environment together.

"Brother Du, where does the entrance to this environment lead?" Han Hong couldn't help but ask curiously as he looked at such a shocking scene.

"It is said that this is one of the secret treasures in the sect, called the Spirit Mirror, which has its own small world and can store many fields. Du Chao explained.

Hearing this, Han Hong nodded, and his gaze continued to look at the entrance of the illusion realm.

An hour later, when the last outer disciple entered the entrance of the Spirit Mirror, the brilliant and colorful entrance changed again, turning into a round of mirrors, turning the scenes inside the mirror into clear images and transmitting them to the outside world for everyone to watch.

In the image, 90,000 outer disciples stood in the glorious land of golden sand, and in front of them, a long bridge formed by colorful rainbows fell in front of everyone.

The Colorful Bridge is very huge, the width alone is immeasurable, and more than 90,000 people are as small as ants in front of it.

"The outer disciples listen to the order, the rules are very simple, as long as you cross the colorful long bridge and reach the other side, it is a success, but you must not resist hard, when you can't bear the pressure, just shout out I quit. Yue Zijie's figure echoed in the square, and at the same time, it also entered the spiritual mirror.

"Now, I declare, the ladder is just the beginning!"

At the sound of the order, 90,000 disciples swarmed up like bees and rushed towards the Colorful Long Bridge. In order to snatch the top spot, everyone has their own talents.

Some secretly cheat in order to surpass the front, and some fight in order to prevent others from surpassing themselves. The surging and magnificent scene made Du Chao and the others dumbfounded and surprised.

Not only them, but everyone on the field looked at the mirror image with interest.

"I'll go, it's crazy. ”

Li Kun watched everything that happened in the mirror, and couldn't help but shudder, secretly talking.

"There's no need to be too surprised, the Fighting Soul Sect accepts the outer sect, and it has never looked at the identity, as long as you can cultivate, whether you have the innate courage or not, you can become an outer disciple, so ah, many disciples with mediocre qualifications do not accept other sects, so they come to the Fighting Soul Sect, so the number of outer disciples has gone up, but the quality is mottled a lot. ”

A disciple on the side couldn't help but snort and explain when he saw Du Chao and the others in shock.

"So, the sect has set up this ladder competition?" Du Chao asked the disciple.

The disciple nodded and said: "Naturally, the Fighting Soul Sect seems to have no threshold, but in fact, this threshold is the ladder competition of the outer gate, and only by entering the inner gate can you be regarded as a real disciple of the Fighting Soul Sect." Some outer disciples have too low qualifications, and I am afraid that they will not be able to pass this level in their entire lives, Nuo, you see that middle-aged man, who is also an outer disciple. ”

As he spoke, the disciple stretched out his hand and pointed to the mirror.

Du Chao and a few people looked at it, and sure enough, the picture on the mirror image at this moment happened to see a middle-aged man sprinting forward with his body slumped forward.

"There are too many mortals in the world who want to step into the path of cultivators, but they can't even do anything about the threshold of the first level in their lives, they are unwilling, and the Fighting Soul Sect gives them hope, but they don't understand that behind this hope, there will be a lifetime of despair. The disciple pursed his lips and said indifferently.

When Du Chao and the others heard this, they were all embarrassed, and deeply understood why those outer disciples were so desperately squeezing into the inner door.
