Chapter 287: Zhou Tianzong's strength
With the sea tsunami breaking through the middle of Jindan, Zhou Tianzong's prestige in Dingbei gradually rose again, and many scattered cultivators also came to join Zhou Tianzong.
Coupled with the profound heritage of the sect, there is a great tendency to regain the hegemony of Dingbei.
This year's big competition should be very interesting.
The Qingluan bird slowly landed on the giant competition square, attracting many eyes from all around.
"Someone from the Heavenly Star Gate is here, it's still the big bird of Qingluan! It seems that Lan Kuotian's mount seems to be stronger. ”
"Who says it's not, it seems that three years ago, I just reached the fifth intermediate level, and now I am almost at the high level!"
"I don't know what kind of elixir Lan Kuotian used to make this beast enter the realm so quickly!"
"Envy!"
"It's jealousy!"
The crowd whispered and whispered.
After the Qingluan Bird stabilized, everyone in the Heavenly Star Gate jumped down, which caused the disciples of various sects to be amazed.
"Is there anything new about this Lan Lao'er, it's really boring!" At this time, a faint voice came, although it was not big, but the whole audience could hear it.
When Wu Xiao heard this, his face instantly became gloomy, and he just wanted to have a seizure, but he turned his head to look at the person who spoke, but he didn't dare to squeak.
He found his place on the viewing platform and sat down, nodding lightly to some acquaintances from time to time.
Even an elder like Nan Tianlong didn't have a place on the viewing platform, and it was estimated that because his cultivation was not enough, he could only lead Zhou Yang and other disciples to sit in the reserved area.
They also heard the disdainful voice, and they all turned their heads to look.
The person who spoke was a red-haired old man on the viewing platform, with a wide head, small eyes, and a big nose, and his appearance was really not flattering. But he was dressed in a blue and red embroidered robe, coupled with a blue scarf, but he was very bright.
Although this person is not good-looking, his status is very high, he is the deputy master and elder of the Taiqing Sect, Ke Wuduan, known as the Five Poisons Sanren.
Ke Wuduan is very good at poisoning, and his poison is usually formless, colorless and tasteless, making people have no trace to follow and cannot be prevented.
Cultivators of the same level have to retreat against this person, even if the Jindan master encounters the five poisons, he will have a headache.
Although the Five Poisons Sanren are not the masters of one faction, their cultivation is the same as that of Lan Kuotian, and their seniority is also there, so Wu Xiao does not dare to say more.
But Wu Xiao was very puzzled in his heart, today is an internal competition in Zhou Tianzong, and Taiqingmen and Zhou Tianzong have always been not on good terms, why did the old guy of the Five Poisons come here?
But the next moment, it seemed that there was an answer.
"Five poisons, grinding your teeth with a junior there, are you idle and panicking?" As the voice came out, a person flew from the southeast.
This person was not riding a flying sword, but a small flying boat, which was much more expensive than a flying sword.
This boat can be driven by mana, and it can also be powered by spirit stones.
But mana is precious, and if you travel for a long time, most of the time you use spirit stones. However, this kind of flying magic weapon consumes a lot of money, and ordinary people can't afford to use it.
The person who can own this boat must be worth a lot of money.
Wu Xiao looked up, somewhat enlightened in his heart.
He also knew that it was Wei Wujing, the head of Dashun Commercial Bank.
This person is also a fake Dan cultivator, and his status in the trading house is also extremely high, second only to the big shopkeeper Jibao Zhenren.
"It turned out to be Brother Wei. Or you Dashun business is generous, and you come by boat for hundreds of miles, Ke admires!" The Five Poisons Sanren said sarcastically.
"Hehe, Five Poisons, if you need it, I can give you one!" Wei Wujing didn't care, took the flying boat, and landed lightly on the viewing platform.
"Thank you, Brother Wei, Ke is very poor and can't afford to use so many spirit stones, so Brother Wei, you can use it yourself. By the way, you must be careful, if the spirit stones are exhausted, it will be difficult to ensure that the flight is unstable!"
"Hehe, both of you have arrived, Qiu Mou has missed the distance, forgive your sins!"
While they were arguing, two men walked from the entrance of the square.
In front of him was a red-faced old man, with three strands of long hair, dressed in a yellow robe, with a serious complexion, striding towards the viewing platform in the center of the square.
Followed by a middle-aged man in a purple-gold robe, with good facial features and a white face, this person was the one who spoke.
Zhou Yang felt strange that the person walking in front should have a higher status than the person behind him, but it was not him who spoke, and this person still looked unconcerned.
"I've seen the Deputy Sect Master of Gongxi, Elder Qiu is polite. The two of them, who were arguing just now, actually hugged their fists and saluted the people who came.
Zhou Yang suddenly realized that the red-faced old man was Gong Xiqian, the deputy sect leader of Zhou Tianzong, who was known as the old man who did not move. His personality is more withdrawn, he doesn't like to make friends with people, and he often can't go out of retreat, so it's normal for him not to speak at this time.
And the one who greeted Wei Wujing and the two was the life of Zhou Tianzong's Great Elder Qiu Yi. Known as the Three Lives, it is the same as the immovable old man, and it is also in the realm of False Dan, but its strength is slightly inferior.
However, this person is sleek and very sociable, and Zhou Tianzong has him to take care of everything.
As soon as the two appeared, Zhou Yang understood that today's competition would be presided over by these two.
"Hehe, I invite two people to come today, one is to catch up, and the other is to watch the ceremony. Qiu is riddled with trivial matters, maybe I haven't seen the two of you for a long time, so I take the opportunity of today to ask the two of you for some advice!"
Qiu Yiming is very good at talking, and the two of them are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, which makes people feel very cordial.
"Elder Qiu is too polite, there is the Sect Master of the Sea, and there is the Deputy Sect Master of Gongxi, why do you come to ask the two of us for advice? The Five Poisons Sanren waved his hand.
"Yes, Elder Qiu doesn't have to be humble, your cultivation is much more profound than ours, if you talk about asking for advice, it should be us asking Gongxi Deputy Sect Master and Elder Qiu for advice!" Wei Wujing also agreed.
In other people's territory, people are so polite, so they naturally have to be modest.
But he and the Five Poisons were quite unimpressed in their hearts, on such a big occasion, Hai Tianxiao, who was the sect master, did not show up, which made them feel that Zhou Tianzong was a little dragged.
"The two of you will have tea first, and then watch the fight together. Qiu Yiming motioned for the two to sit down.
"Thank you, Elder Xi. The two of them took their seats.
There were hundreds of people sitting on the viewing platform, and Zhou Yang found many familiar faces.
Of course, it's too much to say that it's familiar, but I just saw it a few days ago.
Among these people, there are Ling Hu Pei, the head of the Flying Dragon Sect, Jiang Chengxiong, the head of the Daxing Sect, the head of the Wei family, the head of the Lao family, the head of the Shang family, and so on.
Except for Ling Hupei and Jiang Chengxiong, these people's seats are the same as Wu Xiao's, and they are all relatively back.
The reason why this is so is because Ling Hu Pei and Jiang Chengxiong have been promoted to the rank of False Dan.
There are also some Tian Yuan masters on the viewing platform, especially the people sitting in the front row, all of whom are at the peak of Tian Yuan and above, and their status is estimated to be not low.
What made Zhou Yang even more surprised was that the masters sitting on the stage, in addition to the cultivators of various factions in Dingbei City, there was also a monk in a big red robe, as well as several cultivators in strange costumes.
Not only that, but next to the monk sat a graceful woman, but with a white veil on her face, she couldn't see clearly.
The monks and women, as well as those few strange decorators, were very eye-catching in the crowd, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they stand out from the crowd.
Zhou Yang was puzzled, so he wanted to find someone to ask, but when he saw that everyone around him had a solemn face and did not squint, he had to temporarily put away his curiosity and continue to look into the distance.
Although he didn't know the identities of these people, the shadow of the mysterious Baizong Mountain flashed in his heart.
It was only then that he had the opportunity to look around the entire square.
Unlike when he first came, the square was clearly decorated, and stone pillars were erected all around, and the ribbons on the stone pillars fluttered in the wind and hunted sound.
Next to each stone pillar, there are dozens of gold-armored guards standing with strong and stubborn armor, these gold-armored guards are shining, armored, and powerful.
With the stone pillar as the boundary, outside the boundary are the many onlookers and cultivators in Dingbei City, and inside the boundary are the candidates of Zhou Tianzong and other sects.
On the opposite side of the viewing platform were twenty high platforms for martial arts, which were much taller than those of the Heavenly Star Gate that day.
Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power emitted from time to time, the protective prohibition of these martial arts platforms is also much stronger than that of the Heavenly Star Gate, and there will never be a situation where the prohibition is broken like Nan Tianlong and Gongxi Ao.
Zhou Yang's eyes swept casually, and he couldn't help but secretly stumble, in the hundred and ten areas of the square, there were disciples of various factions dressed in different costumes.
Except for the disciples of Zhou Tianzong, the number of people in each area was as high as fifty or sixty, and as few as twenty or thirty, and none of the disciples sitting in the front were lower than those in the late Tianyuan period.
Zhou Tianzong's internal selection, there are so many sects and families, it is really better to hear than to see, it seems that this Zhou Tianzong is much stronger than he imagined.
His gaze stayed on Zhou Tianzong's disciples for a longer time.
There were not only elite disciples who participated in the competition, but also thousands of disciples who watched the battle, and the black was overwhelming.
Zhou Yang glanced at it, but also found a few female disciples, whose appearance was acceptable, but it should not be as tall as the legendary sect master who looked like a fairy, Tong Lingxue.
He didn't want to see the stunning beauty, but he really wanted to see what that beautiful fellow was like.
However, he was disappointed, and the beautiful disciple did not appear.
Doesn't this person participate in the triennial competition in Dingbei?
At this time, the leading figures on the viewing platform exchanged a few words of greeting each other, and drank tea for a while, and the great elder of Zhou Tianzong, Qiu Yisheng, stood up, looked around the square for a week, and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a grand event every three years for my Zhou Tianzong, and thousands of talented people from the sect and their closest sects will compete here.
For this reason, the deputy master of the five ends of the Taiqing Gate, the head of Wei Wutang of the Dashun Commercial Bank, the Hongguang Master of the Hongti Temple of Baizong Mountain, the Yinqing Fairy of the Yinshu Sect, and the Mo Feitian Sect Master of the Wuwei Sword Sect also took the time to come and share the grand event with us.
Entrusted by the Lord of the Sea City, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you in the next generation!
The sea city lord demanded that all the disciples should fully show their talents in the big competition, use the competition as the medium, as the pedal, and as the starting point, learn from each other, sharpen their bodies, go further on the road of cultivation, and make contributions to the rise of the north in Hezhou.
Next, it is up to my Elder of the Ancient Realm to announce the rules of the competition. ”
