Chapter 30: The Prelude to the Great Competition
Ten days went by in a flash.
Qitian Da Ru kicked off the curtain, this is the grandest event in Qitian City, and the arrangement is naturally extraordinary.
An extremely tall martial arts platform was erected in the center of the city, as the main ring, and there were more than ten sub-rings around it, draped in red and hung with colors.
A colorful building was erected in front of the main ring, which is where the guests of the ceremony are seated.
There was a crowd of people around the ring, and everyone was waiting for the big competition to begin.
The disciples of each sect entered the competition venue in a neat and orderly manner.
Zuo Zhenzhen took the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect into the arena and joined Xiao Jing together.
The low horn of "Woo ......" resounded in the sky, which was a signal that the competition was about to begin.
The group led by Su Ling stepped into the main ring, and the invited VIPs also took their seats.
Su Ling arched his hand to the surroundings with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "The Qitian competition is about to begin, the old man hereby represents Qitian City, and welcomes the heads of the major sects and young junjies to come, this competition will determine the ranking order of the disciples of each sect, below, Ben Hou announced the guests who witnessed today's competition!" ”
"First of all, let me introduce you solemnly, this is an elder from Kunlun Immortal Palace, the Boundless Son Dao Leader!"
An old man with white hair and fairy bones in the VIP seat got up to signal to everyone, and the audience suddenly thundered with joy.
Kunlun Immortal Palace is famous all over the world, and now it is a blessing to see the immortal chief in it.
"There is also the envoy of the Heavenly Shang Empire, the son of Lord You Li, and the disciple of the Penglai faction, You Xiu!"
A young man with an arrogant face, who couldn't even afford to be up, only slightly bowed.
Someone in the audience asked.
"What is the origin of this person, and how can he be so big?"
"He's amazing, he has been in the Penglai faction since he was a child, and he entered the free realm at the age of twenty, and his father is still the head of the Tianshang Empire!"
"The Penglai faction is the second great sect of cultivation that has risen rapidly in recent years, second only to Kunlun Palace?"
"Not bad!"
"We don't even have a free realm in Qi Heavenly Kingdom, he entered the free realm at the age of twenty, his background is extraordinary, and he has the support of the Penglai faction, and he will become a dragon in the future."
The discussion gradually calmed down, and Qi Tianhou successively introduced the sect masters and heads of the various families in Qi Tiancheng, namely Gong Jiu, the head of the Juanlian Gate, Leng Chan, the head of the Sword Servant Mansion, and the Master of the Priest Palace, Master Wu Sheng, and so on.
After introducing the VIPs, it was the turn of the participating sects.
"The sects participating in the competition today are: Rolling Lotus Gate, Sword Servant Mansion, Shaman Palace, Divine Scissor Gate, Heavenly Dragon Sect, and Cloud Mist Sect ......"
At this time, Gong Jiu, the main gate of the Rolling Lotus Gate, suddenly said loudly: "I am against it!" ”。
Su Ling's words were interrupted, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"Why is the master of the door objecting?"
Gong Jiu smiled smugly.
"Everyone, please see, the head of the Cloud Mist Sect, the shepherd, didn't show up, and he didn't even come to the head, how can he be eligible to participate?"
Everyone's eyes immediately looked towards the Cloud Mist Sect.
In the ranks of the Cloud Mist Sect, only Xiao Jing and Zuo Zhenzhen stood in front, and there was no trace of the shepherd at all.
"Since the shepherd didn't come, it is to defy the rules of my Qitian City, and the Cloud Mist Sect should be removed from the ranked battle!" The head of the Sword Servant Mansion said coldly.
Xiao Jing stood up unhurriedly.
"Who said that the head of the Cloud Mist Sect didn't come?"
"Everyone can see clearly, the head of the Cloud Mist Sect is not here at all, in front of so many seniors, do you dare to say anything?" Gong Jiudao.
Xiao Jing smiled faintly,
"You're wrong, the head of the Cloud Mist Sect is standing here."
"Where?"
Xiao Jing pointed to Zuo Zhenzhen, who was standing at the front of the team.
"She is the new head of our Cloud Mist Sect, Zuo Zhenzhen!"
Gong Jiu was stunned.
I saw Zuo Zhenzhen solemnly raise her right hand, and on her thumb, she was wearing the token of the head of the Cloud Mist Sect, the white jade ring!
It turned out that after the shepherd went back, he pondered carefully, his pipa bone was seriously injured, and it would take a long time to recover, if he came to the competition, if Gong Jiu wanted to check whether his pipa bone was worn, it would be very bad, so he passed the position of head to Zuo Zhenzhen and asked her to lead the team to compete.
Gong Jiu sneered: "It turns out that Miss Zuo has served as the new head of the Cloud Mist Sect, which is gratifying, but do you know that this Qitian Great Competition is a competition between disciples, and the head of the sect cannot end, so that the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect can ......."
Zuo Zhenzhen smiled slightly: "My master has already made it clear that in this competition, only one disciple from the Cloud Mist Sect will participate in the competition. ”
She pointed to Xiao Jing next to her.
"That's Xiao Jing!"
"Haha." Gong Jiu looked up to the sky and laughed.
He heard that Zuo Zhenzhen was at the highest level in the Cloud Mist Sect, and he had entered the Qi Gathering Realm early, and he was a rare genius in cultivation, and he could be described as a powerful opponent in his son Gongfu's competition.
And although Xiao Jing has made a series of dazzling achievements, he has never shown his true cultivation, what is shown on the colorful flyover is the qualifications, rescuing the shepherds, and using the power of Wanhu Mountain, in the face of real power, these things are all vulnerable, just a marrow washing primary, how strong can it be?
As for defeating Pang Hei and a few splashes, it was done when the people fled without resistance.
Sending a disciple of such a realm to fight, it can be said that in the entire competition, the Cloud Mist Sect has clearly been at the bottom!
When Xiao Jing heard this, he also felt a little unreliable.
There is a big competition, there are many talents, and he is not sure that he will win the game by himself.
"Senior sister, is this really okay?"
"It's okay, anyway, if I saved the Cloud Mist Sect and Master, I'm already lucky." Zuo Zhenzhendao.
In her opinion, even if she can't win this big competition, with the funding of Wanhu Mountain, the Cloud Mist Sect can barely maintain it, and it will not be too late to train smart disciples to participate in the next big competition.
Gong Jiu listened to their conversation and couldn't help but feel even more proud.
"Your master shepherd and dozens of Qinglou girls played with chest stones, were caught in prison and pierced the pipa bone, and finally escaped by luck, and sent an unsuccessful pawn to Dabi, it is really a laughing old man."
Leng Chan and the others laughed as they followed.
Wu Yazi frowned.
"Bad morals, there are still such sects in Qitian City?"
Xiao Jing sneered: "You are pure nonsense, my master is obviously traveling overseas, and the person who was arrested is Liu Zhichang, a disciple of the demon clan, Hou Ye can testify on the spot, and the disciples of your Lotus Gate who participated in the troublemaking are still in prison, do you dare to talk nonsense?" ”
The crowd was justified when they heard it.
Not long after that turmoil, the topic of the Lotus Gate suffering losses has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Qitian City.
Qi Tianhou explained the situation to Wu Yazi, and Wu Yazi understood and nodded again and again.
Zuo Zhenzhen drew his sword out of the sheath and said angrily: "Gong Jiu, you slander my master's reputation, if you don't publicly apologize to the Cloud Mist Sect, I will be inseparable from you!" ”
The disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect were filled with righteous indignation one by one, drew their swords and confronted the disciples of the Rolling Lotus Sect, seeing that a big war was about to break out.
Su Ling pretended to come forward and became a peacemaker.
"Palace master, this matter has been resolved before, and you are also a slip of the tongue, so it is okay to accompany them."
Gong Jiu said conceitedly: "Just rely on the Cloud Mist Sect, and also deserve the old man to apologize?" ”
Su Ling said: "You have to think about it, this dispute started because of you, if the two of you fight here, the Great Comparison of the Heavens can't be handled, what will the elders of Kunlun Palace think?" ”
Gong Jiuyi was stunned, this sentence hit his vital point.
The vindictiveness is small, but it is a big deal if it is broken, after all, it is his own fault first, if he makes the elders of Kunlun Palace unhappy, wouldn't it ruin his son's good future?
It's better to swallow your anger for the time being, wait for Gongfu to win the first place in the big competition, and then come to clean up your penultimate garbage!
Having made up his mind, he coughed and smiled.
"Misunderstanding, old man would like to apologize to the Cloud Mist Sect."
"Count you as acquaintances!"
Zuo Zhenzhen put his sword into the sheath with a cold face.
