Chapter 35: The Contest Begins
Two days passed quickly, but Jing Fan still had no news.
"What, is there any news of Fan'er?" Jing Xiong sat on the first place, looked at the Jing family spy who came in to report back, and couldn't help but ask.
The person who came looked at Jing Xiong and reported back: "There is no news of Young Master Jing, since two days ago, several members of our Jing family saw Young Master Jing in the Daojun ruins, and now there is no trace of Young Master Jing!"
A flash of worry flashed in Jingxiong's eyes, and he waved his hand, signaling for the spies to go down first.
"Strange!" Jing Ba stood up from his chair and paced in the hall, while saying: "Fan'er has always been very punctual in everything he does, and there are still two hours before this occult competition will begin, if Fan'er can't come back, our Jing family will be judged to lose, in that case, it will be cheaper for the Yang family!"
Jingxiong didn't speak, but from his brows twisted into Sichuan characters, it could also explain his mood at the moment.
The seat on one side sat calmly in the chair, looking at the position of the door, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Forget it, Master Xi Leng, we don't wait for Fan'er, let's go to the square first, I don't know where that kid went, if he comes back and knows that we are not there, he will definitely go to the square to find us!" Jing Ba looked at Xi Leng and said.
Xi Leng nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go to the square first, and the master will definitely rush back!"
Jing Xiong glanced at Xi Leng and didn't say anything.
......
Stone City Square
Because I heard that the Jing family and the Yang family were holding a metaphysics competition on the square, the discussion of this matter in the entire Little Rock City was also extremely hot.
Therefore, on the current square, it is already crowded, and many people are looking at the position on the square with an expectant face, and they are also muttering in their hearts, this Jing family and the Yang family are really mortal enemies.
First, the Yang family robbed the Jing family's pharmacy business, and then the Yang family also injured Jing Xiong, but it didn't take long for a small mine of the Yang family to have an inexplicable accident and was burned down, and in the auction hall, Jing Fan and Yang Song's bidding, and finally even killed Yang Song in the end......
"This Jing family and the Yang family are bound to have a decisive battle, and today is probably just the fuse of this decisive battle!" In the crowd, someone began to discuss.
However, more people came with the mentality of watching the excitement, after all, Xuanshi still has a few rare animals on the Ancient Spirit Continent, and ordinary people have never seen what Xuanying looks like.
Even, some people took advantage of this opportunity to open the market and began to bet, and many people rushed over.
On the wide high platform, the extremely dignified old man leaned back on the seat, and his eyes slowly scanned the people who came to watch around, these people were all famous seniors invited by the Jing family and the Yang family from Little Rock City, all of them were highly respected people, and it was really suitable for them to serve as judges.
In the direction of Jing's family on the side, Jing Xiong and the others looked anxious, because this competition was about to start now, but Jing Fan still didn't arrive.
"Let's hold on like this first, in case Jing Fan can't come by then, Xi Leng Xuanshi, you can go up, three days ago, your strength has also broken through the realm of the three-element Xuanshi, and you can fight with Mu Feng!" Jing Xiong said with a solemn face.
Jing Ba also looked at Xi Leng, nodded, and said, "That kid really doesn't know where to go, if that's the case, then the fate of our Jing family depends on you!"
Xi Leng froze for a moment, and when he saw Jing Xiong and Jing Ba's resolute faces, he had to nod helplessly.
At this moment, an old man with white hair on the high platform of the square slowly stood up, he glanced at the sky, and the clear voice rumbled away under the majestic vitality.
"The time is up, now I announce that the Jing family and the Yang family's occult competition has officially begun, and the two sides have a stick of incense to prepare, now let the representatives of the two families play!"
While speaking, the old man also looked at the Jing family and the Yang family respectively.
Mu Feng walked out with a smug face, he looked towards the Jing family with contempt, but he didn't find Jing Fan's figure, and immediately couldn't help but sneer: "What? What about that kid Jing Fan? Are you too scared to come? If your Jing family admits defeat now, our Yang family can consider accepting you as a subordinate, and will not drive you out of Little Rock City, what do you think?"
"Hmph, Mu Feng, don't be arrogant, the last time hasn't come yet. If you lose in a while, I'll see how you cry!" Jing Ba scolded Mu Feng angrily.
Mu Feng smiled proudly, his eyes were full of disdain, he didn't take Jing Ba's words, and walked straight towards the high platform.
On the high platform, one of the old men's eyes was tightly locked in the direction of the Jing family, as if he was looking for something, but he found nothing, and finally had to give up.
If Jing Fan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it, this person was the old man Ling Gushan who had identified the Cangling Mirror in the auction hall before.
The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, but no one from the Jing family appeared.
Suddenly, the people under the venue were also in an uproar, and the voices of various speculations were also continuous.
"Why didn't anyone go up to the Jing family, it seems that I heard that it was Young Master Jing Fanjing, and he was a junior challenging Mu Feng? This difficulty is quite high, it won't be because of fear, run first, right?"
"What's the matter, I bought the Jing family to win, if the people of the Jing family don't appear, then it will be regarded as admitting defeat, then my money will be gone, looking at the weird smile on Mu Feng's face, isn't it that the Yang family secretly sent someone to kill Jing Fan!"
"It's very likely, Zhijing Fan also abolished the three members of the Yang family at once, and now there is something to kill Yang Song, it really may be that the Yang family has taken revenge, it seems that this time the Jing family is in a catastrophe ......"
In the crowd, there were constant discussions, and the Jing family was also embarrassed.
"What's the matter, no one dares to come out, then your Jing family will automatically admit defeat!" Mu Feng sat on the chair on the high platform with a proud face, looked at Jing Xiong and the others with contempt, and said.
"Master Xi Xuan, it's up to you now!" Jing Ba looked around anxiously, but it turned out that there was still no Jing Fan, so he had to look at Xi Lengdao.
Xi Leng also sighed, glanced at Mu Feng with an arrogant face, and then turned his gaze to the incense that was about to burn out, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'm ......"
Just when Xi Leng hadn't finished speaking, suddenly at the edge of the square, a cold voice came, which immediately made the atmosphere of the scene quickly become hot.
"I'm not late!"
A faint voice came out, and suddenly in the square, a figure passed quickly, and in just an instant, it had already arrived in front of the high platform of the square.
Jing Fan didn't hesitate at all, his toes touched the ground, and his body quickly rushed towards the high platform, and just when Jing Fan's feet stepped on the high platform, the last bit of incense ash on the side of the incense finally fell.
"This kid, I'm in a hurry, I'm finally here!" Jing Ba wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Looking at Jing Fan's back, a faint smile also appeared on Jing Xiong's face, as if, as long as he saw Jing Fan, everything in front of him was no longer difficult, as if the defeat of the Yang family was decided, and it was in front of him.
Jing Fan finally appeared, Mu Feng turned his head to look at Jing Fan, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are finally willing to appear, I thought you were scared, why don't you come today?"
"How come, but come and clean you up, aren't I too sorry for your Yang family's 'dedication' to our Jing family during this time?" Jing Fan said slowly, and walked towards his own position as he spoke.
When passing in front of the judges' stage, Jing Fan also bent down slightly and saluted the juniors to the seniors.
Seeing that the Jing family had arrived, the old man who announced the start before he only glanced at Jing Fan, and directly announced: "Now that the occult competition begins, both sides prepare their own materials, and finally compare the Xuanying that they have refined, time, three hours!"
The old man's voice spread far away, and suddenly the atmosphere of the entire scene was instantly mobilized, and almost all eyes were firmly locked on the two people on the high platform.
Looking at the stone platform in front of him, Jing Fan's brows were also slightly wrinkled, the time was only three hours, and it didn't seem to be enough, but Jing Fan was not in a hurry to start, and his eyes were also looking towards Mu Feng.
At this moment, the stone table in front of Mu Feng was already full of a lot of medicinal materials and ores, looking at such complex medicinal materials and ores, Jing Fan's heart was already clear, this Mu Feng seemed to have decided to start refining the three-element Xuanying!
However, looking at Mu Feng's appearance, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Jing Fan's mouth, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, with a flip of his palm, only a few strangely shaped medicinal herbs appeared on the stone platform, and a few stones that did not look like ore at all appeared on the stone platform.
Looking at Jing Fan's movements, many people looked at them in surprise, what are you going to do with this kid from the Jing family?
It's not just that those who came to join in the fun can't understand it, even Xi Leng doesn't understand what Jing Fan wants to do, the pile of medicinal materials in front of Jing Fan, he knows that there is only one medicinal herb, and it is still under Jing Fan's teaching, he only remembers, as for those ores, he has never seen them.
On the judges' bench on the side, everyone looked at Jing Fan with a curious face, and the eyes of the Linggu Mountain people were also tightly locked on Jing Fan, and a strange look appeared in them, but these were automatically ignored by Jing Fan.
At the moment when those medicinal materials were taken out by Jing Fan, Jing Fan's face also became solemn, and he looked at the medicinal materials and ores in front of him with a stern expression, slowly adjusting the breath in his body.
And Mu Feng on the other side also looked at Jing Fan, but he couldn't understand what Jing Fan was doing, so he had to blame Jing Fan for all this, this was playing a small trick of carving insects, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
With a wave of his robe, a surging energy suddenly burst out, and a simple Ding furnace appeared on the stone platform in front of him in an instant, and from the breath, it didn't seem to be simple.
However, when Xi Leng saw such a quaint Ding furnace, his pupils also contracted suddenly, and his palms were clenched tightly.
"It turned out to be Tianyang Ding!"
