Chapter 2: The Duel on the Surface

Elder Shao Jun hesitated, and finally spoke: "What the master said is good, the Qingyun Race will start in half a year." Today's younger generation has begun to sharpen their fists and legs, ready to show their skills. However, I heard that Zhu Ze is going to participate in this Qingyun Competition, and the others are probably the champions of the Qingyun Competition!" "Zhu Ze is Zhu Qing's favorite grandson, with excellent talent, and his cultivation strength is the best among the younger generation!"

As an elder, Shao Jun is naturally not without reason to praise Zhu Ze so obviously. I saw that although Zhu Qing didn't say anything after listening to it, he still looked at him with satisfaction. Shao Jun was overjoyed, knowing that he was right! With Zhu Qing's other eyes, his future is finally no longer limited to being a small nominal elder! Shao Jun's eyes flashed with ** and unwillingness.

The nominal elder is talking about people like Shao Jun and Yang Defeng, who did not have an elder of the sect as a master, and finally became a Xuan Master of the Yunling Realm by an ordinary disciple who had cultivated for many years, and was thus given the title of elder by the sect. But they don't have great talent, and they don't have a strong backstage. Although they became elders, the sect did not give them any real power, not to mention, even the mountain peaks necessary for elders were the ones with the least aura.

Shao Jun thinks that his qualifications are definitely not bad, but unfortunately, whether it is the mystical techniques he cultivates or the resources he gets, although they are not very bad, it is difficult to cultivate to a high and profound realm with these things. The only option to change this is to find a strong enough backstage. Xuan Yunzi and Zhu Qing are both excellent choices.

Shao Jun was an ambitious and extremely intelligent person, and he knew that if he joined Xuan Yunzi or Zhu Qing's side from the beginning, although neither of them would refuse, he would never be of much use. Only by making your position clear during a critical period can you become a confidant. After several years of waiting, today finally made him wait for the opportunity. It's just that Shao Jun chose Zhu Qing, who was obviously in the upper hand.

Xuan Yunzi nodded lightly, ignoring the little caution in Shao Jun's heart. Xuan Yunzi said in an unquestionable tone: "Yi Xuan participated in the Qingyun Competition in half a year, if he entered the top three, Jian Yunfeng would be his reward." If you can't get in, Jian Yun Peak will be used as a common reward for the top ten in this competition! In the past six months, Jian Yun Peak will still be used as Yi Xuan's cultivation place!

Zhu Qing's face changed, Xuan Yunzi's move was too ruthless, and it directly disrupted all his deployments! With Yi Xuan's cultivation, it was impossible to enter the top three at all! The top ten in the Qingyun Competition were basically taken over by the disciples of the elders of the various real power factions, and the fall of Jianyun Peak into the hands of the top ten in the Qingyun Competition was equivalent to Jianyun Peak becoming a peak owned by many powerful elders. At that time, even if Zhu Qing wanted to do something, he would have to think twice.

Xuan Yunzi's words not only immediately attracted a group of powerful elders not to say anything, but also closely followed the development of the sect. Zhu Qing just wants to oppose it now, and there is no reason! Xuan Yunzi's move is to retreat into advance, although he has lost Jian Yunfeng, but he has attracted a group of elders with real power, and his power has greatly advanced!

Xuanyunzi, this time you won. But, do you think that's all I have? Zhu Qing's eyes were cold. Twenty years ago, there was Yi Yun to help you. Now, I'll see who can help you!

"What the master said is very true, and we have no objection. Zhu Qing's face was flat and indifferent, and he couldn't see any anger.

Xuan Yunzi's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't feel it like this, it seems that Zhu Qing is asking for a lot this time!

Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly and said, "All the elders agreed, so this matter is decided." There are still a lot of good seedlings on the Qingyun Competition, and all the elders have wisdom and knowledge, and they will definitely be able to find the pillars of our Diyuan Sword Sect. When the top 10 are contested, I also go to watch them. ”

The elders whose disciples are expected to compete for the top ten have a gleam in their eyes, which of these elders is not an old man who has lived for hundreds of years? With good qualifications, he was robbed by the elders as early as the beginning, how could he wait until now? Xuanyunzi asked so many elders to watch the Qingyun Competition, so that they could monitor Zhu Qing and prevent Zhu Qing from cheating!

"At the Qingyun Competition, we will definitely be there!" the elders replied in unison.

A cold light flashed in Zhu Qing's eyes, and then he smiled faintly and said, "At that time, I will also attend." ”

Xuan Yunzi's eyes flashed, and he also smiled: "That is it, this matter is settled." Is there anything else the elders are up to?" Xuan Yunzi looked around. All the elders shook their heads.

"So, then let's disperse. ”

Zhu Qing took the lead in getting up and said to Xuan Yunzi: "Sect master, I still have something to do on the peak, so I will leave first." When he turned around, Zhu Qing glanced at the three elders in the corner vaguely. The leader of the elder glanced at him lightly and did not speak. Zhu Qing's heart was relieved, and then he turned around and left.

When passing by Yi Xuan's side, Zhu Qing stopped, did not turn his head, and said in a flat tone: "Senior nephew Yi Xuan, Qingyun has no eyes on the sword, you have to be careful." After speaking, Zhu Qing walked forward slowly.

"I heard that the Great Elder sent the white-haired people to the black-haired people back then, if Zhu Ze was injured in the Qingyun Competition, the Great Elder should not be overly sad. Yi Xuan turned his back to Zhu Qing and said coldly. Yi Xuan's policy is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, I will pay it back tenfold! Zhu Qing calculated that his Sword Cloud Peak had already touched the bottom line in Yi Xuan's heart.

Although my current strength is not as good as yours, even Zhu Ze is not as good as me. But after half a year, I will let you know that there is a price to be paid for offending me! Zhu Ze is just the first! Yi Xuan clenched his fists and shouted in his heart.

If people knew what Yi Xuan was thinking, they would definitely think that he was crazy! Defeat Zhu Ze? Zhu Ze's cultivation was the eighth level of the Xuanshi, and Yi Xuan was the first level of the Xuanshi! In half a year, he was promoted to the seventh level, what are you kidding? Zhu Ze was the most talented among the younger generation of the Diyuan Sword Sect, and under the accumulation of Zhu Qing's large amount of resources, it took Zhu Ze ten years to be promoted from the first level of the Xuanshi to the eighth level of the Xuanshi! In just this cultivation time, in the entire Mu Yunguo cultivation world, there were only a few people who could compare with Zhu Ze! But Yi Xuan wanted to reach it within half a year, saying that he was a madman, and it was estimated that no one would object.

"Hmph! Then the old man will wait and see the wonderful performance of his nephew Qingyun in the competition. Zhu Qing made up his mind, and after coldly dropping a sentence, he left without looking back.

"Sect master, there are still some things on my peak, so I'll leave first!"

"Sect Master, I still have a furnace of Xuandan practicing, so I'll leave first. ”

"Teaching"

When the elders saw that something was wrong, they immediately opened their mouths and left. The matter of Jian Yunfeng just now belonged to the entire sect, but now it belonged to the matter between the two bigwigs. These elders are all old foxes, and now that the two bigwigs are obviously fighting, and the two sides are evenly matched, they don't want to be on the wrong team.

"In that case, let the elders go back. Xuan Yunzi sneered in his heart, but said on his lips. Xuan Yunzi naturally knew what these elders thought, but Xuan Yunzi didn't think about asking them to choose themselves now. These wall grasses can't determine the overall situation. Thinking about it, Xuan Yunzi glanced at the three elders in the corner again.

"I'll retire. ”

Dozens of elders said in unison, and then, the elders left in pairs.

In the corner, the three elders glanced at each other and left silently. Just like when they came, no one noticed them.

"Xuan'er, you and I have a moment. Xuan Yunzi stopped Yi Xuan, who was about to leave. As he spoke, Xuan Yunzi slowly stood up and walked towards the inner hall.

Yi Xuan was stunned, not knowing what Xuan Yunzi told him to do. After thinking about it, Yi Xuan still followed Xuan Yunzi towards the inner hall.

In a simple room in the inner hall, Xuan Yunzi stood in front of a large open window, with his back to Yi Xuan, looking out of the window. Outside the window, there is a steep cliff. Here, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the sky seems to be within reach. Under the endless sea of clouds, there are small green dots that are irregularly distributed, which are mountains.

Yi Xuan stood aside respectfully and did not make a sound to disturb. Yi Xuan could see that Xuan Yunzi was caught in a memory.

I don't know how long it took, Xuan Yunzi woke up from his memories, sighed slightly, turned to look at Yi Xuan, and said, "Xuan'er, do you know why I asked you to stay?"

Xuan'er didn't know. Yi Xuan replied respectfully.

Looking at Yi Xuan, Xuan Yunzi seemed to fall into memories again.

Xuan Yunzi came back to his senses, and his tone was vicissitudes: "Alas, when I am old, I always think of the events of the past." ”

Yi Xuan was silent, Xuan Yunzi was eighty years old this year, if he was a mortal, his life would have come to an end. But the cultivation of Xuanyun Ziyun Spirit Realm Xuan Master, eighty years old can be said to be in the prime of life. In Xuan Yunzi, Yi Xuan felt a trace of death, which only people who have nothing to love can have. Yi Yun's death was too big a blow to Xuan Yunzi. Xuanyunzi and Yi Yun worship the same master, they grew up together and cultivated together since childhood, and their feelings are deeper than their own brothers. If it weren't for the fact that he was still shouldering the burden of the Diyuan Sword Sect and still had the thought of revenge in his heart, Xuan Yunzi wouldn't know what motivation he was to live.
