Chapter 0489 - Sudden Assassination
Yueju County.
This is the largest county seat in Yuezhou, one of the nine major states in the Xuanyuan Continent.
At the same time, this is also the place where the sect of the nine-star sect Zhongxingmen is located.
In the past few days, Zhongxingmen has been full of lights and beaming, and is preparing for a ten-year sect competition.
For the disciples of Zhongxingmen, this once-in-a-decade sect competition is the fastest opportunity for them to enter a higher level, and it is also the best opportunity to obtain various martial arts techniques.
The outer disciples want to enter the inner gate, and the inner disciples want to get a higher rank, and they can get stronger martial arts. Even some of the strongest inner disciples still want to squeeze into the ranks of true disciples.
Even those elders of the outer sect of the Zhongxing Gate want to show their strongest strength, so that it is possible to enter the Zhongxing Gate Elder Hall and become a real elder!
You must know that if you can enter the Elder Hall, that is the Zhongxing Gate really has the right to speak, even if you are the door master, you have to listen to the opinions of the Elder Hall, otherwise the Elder Hall has the right to decide on the abolition of the door master!
On this day, the great competition of Zhongxingmen's sect officially began.
There were no less than 500 people who signed up to participate in the big competition, including more than 300 outer disciples, 200 inner disciples, and more than a dozen outer elders.
The Zhongxingmen sect competition this time is initially estimated to be held for five to eight days, in fact, according to the normal competition, it will be over in two days at most.
However, it is obvious that this sect competition is not just a simple competition, but in order to attract the attention of more young martial artists, and at the same time, it will also open the door to accept disciples, and even the legendary master of the Xingmen is also ready to accept a few personal disciples.
Although the personal disciple is not as respected as the true disciple, after all, he is the personal disciple of the master of the Zhongxing Gate, and he can get the direct guidance of the master of the Zhongxing Gate.
This is what really attracts young warriors.
Of course, for Shen Li and the Heavy Pupil Fairy Yi Jingya, even if the nine-star sect is the secret technique of the Zhen Sect, it is not attractive at all, and the two of them just happen to pass by.
At this time, Shen Li and Yi Jingya, the fairy of the double pupil, sat on the second floor of a tavern called "High Roller" for a long time, drinking tea and watching the excitement.
After two months of almost sleepless cultivation, although Shen Li and the Heavy Pupil Fairy had no physical problems, their spirits were already a little tired.
The two of them were ready to rest for a while, and then went back separately, after all, in the sealed land, there was no way to contact various forces, which was equivalent to disappearing for two months out of thin air.
Just came out of the sealed land, the two of them are not in a hurry, eat something delicious first, and comfort the belly of the bird to fade out!
Although it is said that in the realm of Shen Li and Yi Jingya, the fairy of the double pupil, even if he doesn't eat for half a year, he won't starve to death, but after all, they are all cannibals, and he still can't forget the food.
In just a short while, Shen Li and Yi Jingya, the fairy with heavy pupils, had already eaten three roast suckling pigs, five catties of sauced beef, ten roast ducks, and a large table of various snacks.
The guys from the "High Roller" restaurant came over again and again to serve the food, and they were all dumbfounded, looking at Shen Li and the Double Pupil Fairy, as if they were watching monsters.
If it weren't for the fact that this is the largest county in Yuezhou, there is a device outside the city gate that can detect whether it is a demon incarnation, they would all suspect that Shen Li and Yi Jingya, the fairy of the double pupil, are both demon incarnations!
This amount of food is too big!
Shen Li looks thin and weak, but when he eats beef, he is not ambiguous at all, and one bite is half a catty!
And the heavy pupil fairy Yi Jingya, although she was wearing a veil, but she didn't have any effect at all when she ate, one hand lifted the veil slightly, revealing her small mouth, and seemed to chew slowly, but the speed was not slower than Shen Li.
In just one stick of incense, the two of them have eaten almost forty or fifty catties of things, if they were ordinary people, I am afraid that they would have died long ago, but for Shen Li and the Heavy Pupil Fairy, they have just satisfied a trace of their tongue desire.
This mere dozens of catties of food, as soon as it arrived in the stomach, was directly shattered by the vitality in the bodies of Shen Li and the Heavy Pupil Fairy, turned into energy, and was easily absorbed cleanly, and even some impurities were directly crushed into powder by the vitality and forced out of the body.
In fact, when you reach the realm of oneness, eating is just a formality, as long as you absorb the aura of heaven and earth, you can ensure the best state of your body.
"Hu ......" Shen Li, who had eaten and drunk enough, let out a long breath, drank tea leisurely, and was ready to watch it for a while, so he said goodbye to the double pupil fairy Yi Jingya and went back to his own force separately.
Through these two months of getting along, although Shen Li has not been able to have any substantive communication with the Heavy Pupil Fairy, they have already regarded each other as friends.
Although Xiao Yun completely devoured and fused the Heavy Pupil Fairy Yi Jingya's Qi Ming Zhong and turned it into a pile of scrap metal, it was also Xiao Yun who saved the life of the Heavy Pupil Fairy, otherwise, maybe now Shen Li and the Heavy Pupil Fairy Yi Jingya would have become the rations of the sixteen-tailed fox fairy Cana Luo.
However, Shen Li still felt a little embarrassed to turn such a good spiritual treasure into scrap iron, so he let the Double Pupil Fairy Yi Jingya cultivate in the Sealed Land together, which could be regarded as compensation for the Double Pupil Fairy.
At this moment, the great competition of the sect of Zhongxingmen has begun.
A Zhongxingmen disciple dressed in uniform walked out and spread out one by one in the hundreds of rings in the square, and began to compete with each other.
The disciples of the Zhongxing Sect all wore lilac robes, the only difference was in the sleeves of their shirts.
Among the outer disciples, there is only an ordinary silver wire embroidered with a simple cloud pattern on the sleeve.
As for the inner disciples, the sleeves are embroidered with gold thread with a clear pattern of wind and thunder.
And there are also some martial artists who don't look young, and the clothes they are wearing have a large area of red gold cloud patterns and wind and thunder patterns on their chests, and these people are the various elders who participated in the sect competition this time.
In the northernmost part of the huge square, there are rows of seats, and in the center of the seats, there is an old man with a somewhat pale face.
This old man looks sick, but there is a strong momentum emanating from his body, which can be felt from tens of thousands of meters away.
This is a genuine back-to-true realm powerhouse, and it is also the only back-to-true realm powerhouse in the Zhongxing Gate, the master of the Zhongxing Gate, Qian Long!
It is also one of the three True Realm powerhouses in the Sealed Land!
"Alas, it's so dangerous! Two months ago, I thought I would be able to get some treasures from the ancient ruins, but I almost lost my life, and my blood and qi were greatly damaged, and my strength regressed a lot. Qian Long's face was full of sadness, and he was secretly afraid in his heart.
As the only powerhouse of the Returning to Truth Realm in Zhongxingmen, Qian Long is only a heavy Returning to Truth Realm, if he is swallowed by the sixteen-tailed fox immortal Cana Luo in the sealed land, then Zhongxingmen will not have a powerhouse of the Returning Truth Realm, and there is no need for other reasons, it will be directly reduced to an eight-star sect.
As the contemporary master of Zhongxingmen, Qian Long was also distressed in his heart, his own strength was not good, and at the same time, his subordinates were unable to recruit truly talented genius disciples, making Zhongxingmen lifeless for decades, without any vitality.
If in the middle of Qianlong's director period, Zhongxingmen is forced to be demoted to an eight-star sect, then Qianlong's face will be completely trampled underfoot, how can he still have the face to meet the ancestor of Zhongxingmen?
Qian Long was full of exhaustion, and he couldn't say his bitterness, so he could only fight his spirit, hoping that this time the sect competition would attract real geniuses and be able to expand the sect, without seeking too much improvement, even if he could only keep the nine-star qualification of Zhongxingmen.
At this time, Shen Li and Yi Jingya, the fairy of the double pupil, had already seen Qian Long, and also recognized him as one of the three Terran True Realm powerhouses in the Sealed Land, and Shen Li did not have much impression of Qian Long, not good, nor prejudiced.
"Drink tea for a while, and I'll leave!" said the heavy pupil fairy lightly after taking a sip of tea.
For Shen Li, the double pupil fairy Yi Jingya didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
When he was in the sealed land, it was clear that Shen Li was only in the realm of the double realm of the One Realm, and he was considered the weakest existence among all people. But in the end, it was this person who seemed to be the lowest level who saved everyone.
In the end, Shen Li's war pet Xiaoyun, after killing the sixteen-tailed fox fairy Jia Naluo, Shen Li moved everyone else out, but left the heavy pupil fairy Yi Jingya, and generously shared the immortal energy of the sealed land with her, and cultivated together to improve their strength.
This made Yi Jingya, the fairy of the double pupil, very grateful in her heart, you must know that Yi Jingya was already at the peak of the twelve-fold peak of the God Transformation Realm at that time, but she couldn't break through for a long time, and she had been stuck in this realm for three years.
In Yi Jingya's heart, she has long regarded Shen Li as her friend.
"Well, after the tea, we'll go our separate ways. Hopefully we'll see you again. Come, replace wine with tea, toast you!" Shen Li smiled, picked up the teacup in his hand, and touched it towards the teacup in Yi Jingya's hand.
At this moment, Shen Li's eyes looked through the window of the restaurant and saw a figure in the ring opposite, suddenly appearing, rushing towards an old man who was about to fight in the ring.
"Tong Qi old thief, suffer death!" The figure was like a bolt of lightning, and it appeared in the ring in an instant, and a long sword in his hand stabbed out in an instant.
And the person standing in the ring looked to be seventy or eighty years old, and the purple robe he was wearing was embroidered with cloud patterns and wind and thunder patterns, and he was an elder of the outer gate of Zhongxingmen.
Shen Li's eyes did not look at the Zhongxingmen elder named Tong Qi, but at the old man who came from the assassination.
With a "bang", the teacup in Shen Li's hand fell to the ground suddenly, but the whole person didn't notice it at all, stood up suddenly, and rushed to the window of the restaurant.
"Huh?" Yi Jingya, the double pupil fairy, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sensed that Shen Li's mood was surging, as if he had encountered something very urgent or excited.
"Master, I've finally seen you again!" Shen Li's mouth whispered, his face full of excitement.
