Chapter 232: The Assembly Begins

In the next three days, there was not as calm as expected in the Ice Clan, but a lot of things happened.

First of all, there was news coming back, saying that Bing Haoran did not catch that Zhou Yi and let him run out, Bingchen and Bingyu sisters were angry, and took people to find the round-faced Bingjiang to ask for an explanation, and as a result, the two sides almost clashed.

When they came back, the Bing family sisters turned pale, and they gathered Li Changjing and other foreign cultivators, and promised a lot of money, so that they must strive to win the first place in the Deer Competition, even if they can't get it, they must overpower the Bingjiang River, and after the conference, they will give everyone two gold talismans each, which will be counted as a personal reward.

This greatly boosted the morale of the ten cultivators, and they all geared up, waiting to show their strength at the deer competition.

There was also a small episode during this period.

The second sect actually wanted to hide people's eyes and ears through low strength, and sent a really first-order cultivator to sneak in, find Lu Li in the evening, and let him abandon the main sect and join the camp of the second sect, and the second sect promised to make him the chief chief worshipper and enjoy the same treatment as the elders.

As a result, this person's identity was finally revealed, and he was beaten half to death by the sisters of the Bing family and driven out.

Although Lu Li did not agree to join the second sect, it can be seen from this that the identity of an alchemist will be respected at any time, especially a genius like Lu Li, who refining third-order pills is like a child, and is the object that countless people want to behold.

Of course, Lu Li is very principled, if someone is injured or sick, he will help without saying a word, but if someone who is not very good in relationship asks him for alchemy for no reason, he refuses more simply than anyone else.

Lu Li is just warm-hearted, but he is not stupid, this handsome young boy, although he looks elegant and easy-going to everyone, but Li Changjing knows that he is actually very stubborn, his father Lu Yun gave him a hundred treasures and treasures, and asked him to see all the 17,000 kinds of things in it once, Lu Li really left home for five years, traveled more than half of the Yanxia country, walked more than 50,000 kilometers, and did not return home once.

As for Miss Xu Huairou, with three Buddha beads in her body, she no longer has to have Li Changjing by her side every moment, after Lu Li's day and night of medicine conditioning, her physical condition has recovered a lot, except for the broken veins and broken tires, most of the body functions have improved, and her face finally has a little ruddy feeling.

On the third day, the deer competition was held as scheduled.

As soon as the sun came out, after breakfast, the Bing family sisters gathered all the foreign cultivators who participated in the competition, including Li Changjing, and the number remained the same as before, a total of ten Immortal Realms.

Because of their injuries, although the Bing family sisters were the leaders of the team this time, they were unable to participate in the deer competition, and the ten people who entered with Li Changjing and the others were three Bing family cultivators, who were also out of the mortal realm, about thirty years old, two men and one woman.

A group of more than a dozen people left the village in a mighty way and headed straight to the north.

It took more than four hours to walk through gentle hills, over frozen rivers, and occasionally waist-deep snow, until near noon, when everyone reached a low valley only a few hundred meters above sea level.

There is a square doorway in the valley, very huge, more than ten meters high, a formation is set up at the door, and on each side stands a withered old man, dressed in white plain clothes, pinching a golden talisman with two fingers, turning into a cyan enchantment, sealing the door.

Li Changjing's team was the last, at this time, the flat ground outside the valley was already full of people, roughly counting, I was afraid that there were no less than hundreds, in addition to the four participating teams, there were many ice clan people with low strength, who should have come to see the excitement.

After looking around, Li Changjing basically knew it.

The Binglan family, one of the three unique ice families, has fifteen contestants, three first-order cultivators, and five ice clan leaders.

The Ice Goose Family, one of the three unique Ice Clans, has fifteen contestants, four first-order cultivators, five Ice Clan leaders, and the round-faced Bingjiang is one of the team leaders.

The Ice Charm Family, one of the Ice Three Uniques, has thirteen contestants and two first-order cultivators, because the Ice Family sisters are injured and unable to participate, so there are only three Ice Clan leaders.

There are fifteen contestants in the second sect, four first-order cultivators, Zhang Chunqiu's son Zhang Qilin is impressively in the list, the five second-order people who lead the team, and two are first-order degraders, adding up to six, and the overall strength is the strongest among the four teams.

Not only that, but at the back of the four teams, there were two white-haired old men with vague and deep breaths, both of whom had an indifferent demeanor, expressionless and silent.

As the two withered old men who were casting their formations at the gate slowly came to Li Changjing's team and stood still, a total of eight half-step immortal super cultivators appeared together.

Eight half-step immortals!

Li Changjing's heart was shocked.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood the strength of the Ice Clan, such a terrifying lineup, it was simply numb, not to mention that the legendary Ice Three Absolute had not yet appeared, which showed that the strength of the Ice Clan had not yet been fully presented.

Under the shock of the eight astonishing aura, most of the thirty foreign cultivators who participated in the competition changed their faces, and cold sweat broke out behind their backs.

Lu Li said in a low voice: "It seems that we are all lonely, there are still a lot of super cultivators hidden in the world, but they have always disdained this world. ”

Li Changjing nodded with a calm face, feeling the same way.

"Look, the surname Li, there are two half-step immortals on the side of the second sect, and one of them is Binggang." Xu Huairou raised her chin at the team on the far right and motioned for him to look.

"Close your eyes." Li Changjing hurriedly covered Xu Huairou's eyes and turned her face away.

At the same time, a short and stout man at the end of the second sect's team frowned slightly and looked at the two of them.

"Bastard." Li Changjing scolded secretly in his heart, he deserved to be a half-step immortal, this perception is really not covered. Fortunately, he was prepared, and when he came out, the three of them wore masks made of Chengtianfu on their faces, otherwise they would have been recognized the moment they came.

"Now that the team has arrived, then the old man will talk about the rules of the conference as usual."

A very old man from Binglan's house walked out, his face wrinkled like tree bark, and said to everyone in a hoarse voice: "First, the use of violent means in the search for ice crystals is not advocated or prohibited, but it must not be painful to kill other competing teams, violators will be disqualified from the competition and the rewards will be cancelled." ”

"Second, the venue is an independent space, there are all kinds of fierce beasts in it, and there is also a very harsh natural environment, which can be said to be full of dangers, you must try to protect yourself."

"Third, participants can bring their family members below the Mortal Realm, but no more than three, and the ice crystals found by everyone will only be counted as one, and the final reward can only be claimed one."

Li Changjing breathed a sigh of relief, he originally thought that the competition was forbidden for people other than the contestants to enter, Lu Li and Xu Huairou are now really first-order strength, he really doesn't feel at ease if they stay outside, even if they encounter danger when they go in together, they can deal with it together.

"Fourth, Lord Ice Charm specially made some teleportation arrays out of talisman seals and sealed them inside these black stones." The old man who spoke waved his hand, and the two Ice Clansmen immediately carried up a large basket, which was filled with stones the size of three fingers, black as ink, exuding a faint luster.

"Everyone who enters must bring a teleportation stone, if your life is in danger, break the stone, and the formation will immediately teleport you outside."

Many contestants stepped forward one after another and took a black stone from the basket, Li Changjing also went to get three pieces and distributed them to Xu Huairou and Lu Li, the three of them put them in their hands and looked at them carefully, it was hard to imagine that such a small and ordinary stone would have a formation sealed inside, if it wasn't for what I saw and heard with my own eyes, it would really be unbelievable.

What the old man said next was almost the same as what the Bing family sisters said, and Li Changjing and the three of them had already heard it once, so they had already been mentally prepared.

"Okay, the duration of the deer chase meeting is three days, after three days, if you can't exit the same way, then break the teleportation stone, and everyone assembles at the door!"

After saying this, the old man silently retreated, and then the leader of the team walked down and handed each contestant a tough and elastic cloth bag, stretched out about nearly a meter wide and deep, which was said to be used to hold ice crystals.

The sisters of the Bing family came over at this time and said to Li Changjing and the others: "Our sisters are seriously injured and cannot go in with you, so we can only stay outside to cheer you up." ”

"Although everyone comes from all over the world, it is fate to get together, and now we are in the same team, so put aside our prejudices, unite as one, try to hold together after entering, and don't give some people the opportunity to find loopholes!"

The contestants are all out of the world, and they are all adults, so naturally they will not be as vindictive and awkward as children, Li Changjing and the rest of the team, although there is not much intersection, but there is no contradiction, for the time being, there is no need to worry about being stabbed in the back.

The only thing to worry about after entering is the team of the second sect, although this session has a new rule, prohibiting cultivators who have reached the immortal in half a step to enter, but Li Changjing is not sure if Bing Gang knows the news of his arrival, let alone whether he has told the others in the second sect what happened in the northwest, this is an uncertain factor, and he has to be guarded against.

"Alright, let's go inside."

The Bing family sisters took two steps back, gave way to the road, and said with a smile: "You can do your best, our sisters are waiting for your triumphant return!" ”

For a while, everyone in the team straightened their backs, and the three Ice Clansmen, two men and one woman, took the lead, and walked in from the gate where the enchantment had been withdrawn.

Miss Xu was very curious along the way, anyway, Li Changjing grabbed her hand, she was not worried about getting lost at all, looked around, and found that after the team entered the door, the inside suddenly opened up, and everywhere she looked, the sky and the earth were dim, making people feel that they were in the Loess Plateau under the sunset, with craggy rocks and steep peaks everywhere, as well as dense forests and flat lakes.

This scene is in stark contrast to the white ice and snow outside, as if there are two extremes.

Lu Li said excitedly: "I heard my father mention that the Ice Clan is connected to an ancient space, and it is said that when the Ice Ji Holy Maiden fought against the young True Buddha, she shattered the product left by time and space, and was isolated from the world, with only one entrance, boundless, and I don't know the distance. Because there is no external invasion, many things inside have survived, and I heard that even the extinct animals outside are inside. ”

If this kind of thing were said in ordinary times, Li Changjing would definitely not believe it.

But now that the facts are in front of us, both what we have seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears, how can we doubt it?

"There are indeed many things in the world that have not been discovered by the world." Li Changjing sincerely sighed with emotion, the more he experienced, the more he felt how small and ignorant human beings were, how insignificant and ignorant human beings were, how much cancer could not be overcome, how much less than one percent of the perception of the sea, and even the formation of a pyramid could not be conclusive.

In the world we live in, nature is the master of all things, and we should have a sense of reverence for nature at all times.

Just when Li Changjing was thinking about the disorder, the team suddenly stopped, he raised his eyebrows, and looked ahead.

Suddenly, he found that the round-faced Bingjiang was leading his team and blocking the way ahead.

"Bingjiang, what do you want to do!" The three Ice Clan members of Li Changjing's team pointed at Bingjiang and scolded: "I advise you not to do anything, the last session was because of your family's obstruction, which caused the champion to be taken away by the people of the second sect!" ”

Bing Jiang stood in front of the team, holding his fat belly, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, I'm just here to give you a piece of advice, and I don't want to conflict with you." He raised his hand, pointed at Li Changjing, and said inwardly: "If you want to get out of here safely, then it's best to stay away from him, he has been targeted, whoever is with him will be unlucky!" ”
