Half a year is a blink of an eye for the monks.

In the past six months, Qi Shou has not wasted time, and while refining his spells, he still cultivates steadily every day.

The big competition of the sect is also a little pressure for Qi Shou.

There are many sects in Zhou Hai City, and there are more than 20 sects large and small participating in this time.

Among them, there are many sects with similar strength to the Qingping Sect, all of which covet the status of the Qingping Sect.

They couldn't afford to touch Wuhua Pavilion, and Qingping Sect became their only target.

The last time the sect had a big competition was sixty years, and the Qingping Sect had also sat in the second position in Haicheng for sixty years, and many sects had already taken a fancy to this position.

Therefore, this sect competition is bound to be very intense.

Half a year passed in a flash, and it came to September of the eighth year of Jiasheng.

It was a crisp autumn season, and Zhou Haicheng was very lively because of the big competition of the sect.

Most mortals are fascinated by the world of cultivating immortals, and this matter is also spread by word of mouth in the city, but they cannot watch the competition.

After all, monks are still too dangerous for mortals.

A monk's single spell could kill them.

This time, the Zhou Haicheng Sect Sect Contest was not arranged in the city, but on the Pingjiu Mountain, which was a few kilometers away from the city.

At the top of Pingjiu Mountain, there is a huge martial arts arena, where Zhou Haicheng's annual sect competition will be held.

There is a formation around this martial arts arena, and only once every sixty years will the sect competition be opened, and the rest of the time it is guarded by the formation and cannot be entered.

On this day, the Great Sect Competition in Zhou Hai City officially began, and all the major sects in Zhou Hai City also rushed to come.

Zhou Haicheng Dabi, the city lord Zhao Zhijing naturally wanted to come forward in person, and arrived at the arena before dawn on this day.

In addition to Zhao Zhijing, there were also many officers and soldiers of Zhou Haicheng, all holding spears and wearing heavy armor, covering the Pingjiu Mountain to ensure that the entire Dabi process could be carried out steadily.

Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the twenty-four large and small sects participating in Zhou Haicheng had all arrived.

In this competition, in addition to these 24 sects, some other forces will also be present to watch the competition.

These forces are generally sects in neighboring cities, or some chambers of commerce.

In their eyes, those top-ranked sects are the goals of their future friendships.

In addition, there will also be people from Wuhua Pavilion who come to watch the scene every year to see the development of other sects in Zhou Haicheng over the years.

Qi Shou came to Pingjiu Mountain with the sect leader of the Qingping Sect, Xin Xiuyuan, as well as Elder Chu Nian and Elder Ma Zhi.

"I don't know if Shaokang will be among these people."

Along the way, looking at the officers and soldiers of Zhou Haicheng standing on the side of the road with solemn expressions, Qi Shou couldn't help but think.

Over the years, Huang Shaokang has met him less and less, and I don't know what Huang Shaokang's current situation is, only that he is now working towards the position of Zhou Haicheng's patrol governor, and I don't know how long it will take to climb to that position.

For Huang Shaokang, it is a good thing to be able to embark on this career.

"There are so many sects."

All the way to the top of Pingjiu Mountain, Tao Xinghuai looked at the people on the top of the mountain and sighed.

"That's right, these should be all the people in this competition." Ma Zhi nodded.

On Pingjiu Mountain, the people of each sect came to the pre-divided position, and each sect would be separated by a certain distance to prevent accidents.

The arrival of the Qingping Sect has caused a lot of fluctuations among the various sects.

After all, it is Zhou Haicheng's only existence in Wuhua Pavilion, and it will naturally become a topic of discussion for everyone on this occasion.

There are also some sects that have already regarded the Qingping Sect as an imaginary enemy and are eyeing this side.

"Let's take a break, everybody."

Xin Xiuyuan waved his hand, and several people came to the position of Qingping Sect and sat down.

Qingping Sect, as the first place in the last sect competition, is naturally the best among the many sects, and it is at the forefront.

"Master, why are they all looking at us......"

Seeing that many sects were looking at this side, Tao Xinghuai felt a little unnatural.

What's more, there are still many cultivators in the Spirit Realm and Qi Realm among these people, even if they don't exert any pressure on this side, Tao Xinghuai still feels very uncomfortable.

"Don't be pressured, they're all your enemies, just beat them when you play." Ma Zhi comforted.

Qi Shou didn't have any pressure.

The monks of the Qi Transformation Realm, Qi Shou had seen too much in his previous life, and he had killed double digits, as long as they didn't use their divine sense to release coercion on themselves, he didn't care.

"You wait here first, I'll go and say hello to the other sects first." Chu Nian said to a few people.

This kind of social thing must not be handed over to the sect master to do, Xin Xiuyuan has long been meditating in place with his eyes closed, so naturally it will be handed over to Chu Nian to do.

There are also contacts between the various sects in Zhou Hai City on weekdays, and there are also good relationships between some sects.

For example, the Qingping Sect, although it is the second sect in Zhou Haicheng, has been quite low-key in its style of doing things for many years, and its disciples rarely go out to provoke right and wrong, and its reputation in Zhou Haicheng is not bad.

Except for the competition related to the development of the sect, the relationship between the Qingping Sect and other sects is not bad.

Chu Nian went to visit the location of other sects, and Qi Shou was not idle here, and looked around.

He had also been in Zhou Haicheng for twenty or thirty years, and he had also dealt with some disciples of the sect, but less than half of the sects he could recognize on the spot.

After all, he still cultivates on the mountain most of the time, and he doesn't go down the mountain much.

Among these sects, half of them are the physical cultivation sect, and the remaining half are half of the instrument cultivation and the other half of the technical cultivation, and there is no trickery cultivation sect.

The cult sects are generally one-liner or hermit-like religions, and basically do not participate in such competitions.

In Qi Shou's impression, there is only one witch Gu sect that can be called a sect in Dashun, and it is also a subsidiary sect established by neighboring countries in Dashun, and the scale is very small.

On Pingjiu Mountain, in addition to the twenty-four sects that participated, he also saw Zhao Zhijing, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this time, Zhao Zhijing was solemnly sitting on the high platform in front of the arena, with the majesty of King's Landing, and his expression was not intimidating and angry.

Seeing Zhao Zhijing so majestic, Qi Shou thought of fighting wits and courage with Zhao Zhijing before, and he was still a little afraid in his heart.

However, he misses the days in the Zhao family a little, where the cultivation speed is really fast, and it is more dangerous to have the beautiful Zhao Xuan to accompany him to play chess.

"I don't know if City Lord Zhao has seen me." Qi Shou thought silently in his heart.

But if you can't see it, after Qi Shou plays, he will always enter Zhao Zhijing's field of vision.

In addition to Zhao Zhijing, Qi Shou also saw another acquaintance at the scene.

The woman in the Wanli shop was red.

Yan Hong, still dressed in a red robe, sat with another man in a purple-gold robe, and the two talked from time to time.

The man's robe was embroidered with the word "Bao", and he was from Baolin Pavilion.

In addition to these two people, there were also people from the organization and the neighboring city sects, all sitting there.

Just after Qi Shou looked around, the sky suddenly darkened.
