Chapter 157: Fighting in the Dark

After entering the city of Qinan, I saw that the houses and shops in the city were lined up one after another, the streets were full of traffic, and the crowds of people everywhere were like a brocade, and it was indeed worthy of the name of the largest city in the east.

Shang Chenxi and his entourage went directly to a merchant in a property in the city, settled down a little, and the seven people of Hualan Court were led to a room.

Lu Duanyao, the first deputy hall master of the Tiangang Hall of the Vientiane Gate, and the Shu Luntai of Tianji Peak have been waiting here for a long time.

The two of them had just finished lunch, and when they saw the seven disciples, the red-haired Lu Duan wiped the oil stains on his mouth, stood up, smiled, and said in his sonic voice: "Haha, the boys are here, it's very good, it's very good, your performance in Haitang City is in the eyes of the hall master, which is beyond my expectations." ”

"You actually used five people's stacks on the Three Mountains and Moon Realm, which can be regarded as a record for this gate, and I will ask you for credit when the master of this hall returns. ”

Lu Duanyao and Shu Luntai had been secretly following the merchant convoy during their trip, and when they fell into the Great Formation of Yan Lu that day, Lu Duanyao had already planned to attack the leader of the formation at the right time, but of course there was no need for this in the end.

Later, outside Begonia City, it was Lu Duanyao, who had not long entered the Seven-Star Beidou Realm, who released a strong aura, which shocked Fan Lihua and ensured that everyone left safely.

Lu Duanyao continued: "After today, the lord of this hall will take over you completely, and we will strive to raise the prestige of Qi Nancheng." There is another division commander in Tiangang Hall who leads the substitute reserve team to live elsewhere, I will go to discuss some things with Shang Er Shao now, you have dinner first, and in the afternoon we will go to Ziyue Immortal Sect to report for the competition. ”

"The rice is ready for you, and the staple food is the famous rice noodle snack in the city. Haha, the name is Qi Nan brain remnant powder, it is a pot of stew of pig brains, cow brains and other tendons, the name is more down-to-earth, but I have tried it, the taste is really good, the amount is large, the tube is full, slow to use, let's see you later. ”

After everyone has used up the brainless powder, Lu Duanyao and Shang Chenxi have finished their discussions, and he and Shu Luntai will lead the seven people of Hualan Court to report. In addition, Yue Guanghan and Hu Sa, one of the Hu father and son who arrived before them, would also go with the team in the name of the Vientiane Gate retinue so that they could have the opportunity to watch the game.

In the afternoon, eleven people packed up and found the mountain gate of Ziyue Immortal Sect according to the address.

The arena of this competition and the stations of the teams of each sect are all arranged in the Ziyue Immortal Sect, which can also be seen that the Ziyue Immortal Sect occupies a vast area.

There are still a few days before the start of the competition, and the mountain gate is already very crowded with people.

The mountain gate Qitianmen of Ziyue Immortal Sect is built very magnificently, it is more than 20 zhang wide, 10 zhang high, towering, the emblem of the sect is hung on the front beam, among them is a big sword pointing upward, there is a mighty spiritual power pressure that continues to flow from the hilt to the tip of the sword and emanates.

After reporting the name of the Vientiane Gate, it didn't take long for someone from the Ziyue Immortal Sect who was specially responsible for receiving the VIPs of the big faction to greet him.

The disciples of the Vientiane Sect looked at the people who came, and they were greeted by an old man with red hair like Lu Duanyao, the old man's beard was meticulously combed, his face was full of oil, and only his skin, corners of his eyes and forehead were full of wrinkles, which made him look much older than Lu Duanyao.

However, the age of the characters in Xianzhou cannot be judged simply by their appearance, many masters do not care about their appearance, and are unwilling to spend spiritual power to reduce the traces of time.

After seeing Lu Duanyao, the visitor said loudly: "I said who is the leader of the Vientiane Gate this time, it turns out to be Deputy Hall Master Lu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we haven't seen each other for twenty years." ”

Lu Duan arched his hand: "That's what I said, come on, come on, I'll introduce it to you." The daily affairs of the Ziyue Immortal Sect are in charge of the five halls of Zi, Yue, Tian, Qi and Shan, except for the Zitang which is directly under the control of the elders of the famous places in the mountains, the city belongs to the Yuezitang with the greatest power, this is the deputy hall master of the Yuetang Gu Hongxiao, and the boys came to pay their respects. ”

Gu Hongxiao nodded slightly, and said: "Old Lu, I naturally know your ability, but your Vientiane Sect is a bit big, how can other major sects also be led by the elders of the famous sects, you are good, only sent you, the deputy hall master of the Tiangang Palace, don't you look down on the competition hosted by my Ziyue Immortal Sect?"

Lu Duanyao raised his red eyebrows and replied: "Deputy Hall Master Gu is serious, this sect is because it attaches importance to it, so although the disciples who came this time are young, they are all elite leaders among the younger generation, so I don't need those old guys to come forward, it is enough to have this seat." ”

Gu Hongxiao snorted: "I see, whether it's good or not, since there are no talents who can do it in the first class of youth, this time it is understandable to let the juniors and teenagers go through the motions, learn a long way, and wait for the next competition to strive for better rankings and performances." ”

Lu Duanyao: "It's easy to say, I heard that your sect will play with the strongest heroic lineup among the young generation of three heroes, one hero and one hero, and if you bite our iron-blooded youth league and bleed your teeth, it won't look good." ”

Lu Duanyao and Gu Hongxiao were both smiling, but they could say that they had guns and sticks, soft and hard, and they didn't give in to each other, and they smelled a little gunpowder as soon as they came up.

Gu Hongxiao snorted in his nose: "Come on, take your colleagues from Vientiane Gate to their residences, arrange for a good life, and don't slack off." The head of the hall has to receive other sects, so he will not go. ”

Another deacon came and led the people inside.

On the way, the deacon handed over a batch of waist cards and jade slips, and said: "There are still a few days before the start of the competition, before the official start, you can freely enter and exit the gate, the arena and the station area with the waist card, but the important places in my sect are not allowed to enter. Then there is the fact that after the start of the competition, if there are other alternate disciples who want to enter and exit, they must be picked up by the team leader. In addition, there are detailed instructions on the rules of the competition on these jade slips, so please watch them yourself. ”

The halls and palaces in the Ziyue Immortal Sect are intricately distributed, and the decorations are carved and painted, which are resplendent and splendid, and they are extremely luxurious and extravagant.

Arranged to the living place of the Vientiane Gate in a single door, called "Xianting", the area is very spacious, everyone is a single room to live, there are many vacant rooms, there are independent hot spring pools in the room, but the location is too remote, not very in line with the status of Vientiane Gate is now thriving in the east of Xianzhou.

After moving in, Lu Duanyao convened a small meeting of the seven people in Hualan Court.

Lu Duanyao said: "You also saw and heard just now, the Ziyue Immortal Sect is not particularly friendly to our Freedom Vientiane Gate, and there is naturally a reason for this. ”

"The Ziyue Immortal Sect was established earlier, for more than 10,000 years, and has always been a dominant force, occupying the overlord throne in the eastern part of Xianzhou for a long time, so it has developed the habit of seeing no one in the eyes and seeing the top now, and bullying and suppressing other sects, and many of the disciples of the sect have always been arrogant and domineering to the outside world. ”

"This sect is a new sect, more than a thousand years ago, we were not in the first echelon of the Xiuzhen sect in the eastern part of Xianzhou, and the Ziyue Immortal Sect did not take us seriously at that time, they have been mainly suppressing the sects ranked second and third. ”

"But in the past thousand years, the development momentum of this sect has been very rapid, from high-end combat power to reserve force, from the territory actually controlled to the influence on the affairs of Xianzhou. ”

"You also know that this sect has always been low-key, pursuing the practice of forbearance first, keeping quiet and cultivating obscurity, and burying one's head in development, so it didn't attract much attention from the Ziyue Immortal Sect at first. ”

"But when the sect is big and strong, it's like an elephant entering a pool, no matter how light and light the pace is, it will inevitably splash and make waves, which still attracts the attention of the Ziyue Immortal Sect. ”

"At present, their key prevention goals and focus are still not on us, but this door has entered the list of suppression. There should be no conflict that is too big for the time being, but all kinds of constraints and frictions are inevitable. ”

"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. It is also based on these considerations that the arrangement of you inside, the reserves outside, and the strength of friendly forces such as merchants, so that the parties can take care of each other. Don't think too much about these things, your task is to grasp the cultivation and improvement. ”

"As for this competition, there are no hard ranking index requirements for you in the door, just do your best, just have a lot of experience and gains, and go as far as you can. ”

"Do not be presumptuous. This youth elite competition, it is said that the average age is above thirty or forty years old, and the average cultivation is in the early stage of the Yudan realm, and a few of you are only in your twenties, and you have already reached the entry period and the Dengfeng period of the Sanshan Companion Moon Realm. ”

"Let's talk about the strength of the Ziyue Immortal Sect. It is undeniable that they are indeed giants, the number of disciples of the sect alone exceeds 10,000, and the number of strong people is even more numerous, and we can only hope for it in terms of comprehensive strength at present. ”

"The Ziyue Immortal Sect is mainly based on sword cultivation, although in recent years it has also begun to introduce and develop other cultivation categories and exercises, but the traditional faction that advocates sword cultivation occupies an absolute advantage. ”

"They are based on the Taiyi Mixed Yuan Gong, with the Void Infinite Sword as the main vein, and after 10,000 years of development, they have formed a rich sword system, which is unique and quite powerful, and you have all understood these in the door. ”

"I've already read the jade slip, the rules and schedule of the competition are explained in great detail, you come down and study it yourself, if you don't understand anything, just ask Senior Brother Shu Luntai. ”

"To put it simply, this tournament is a bit strange because there will only be seven-man team battles, and other formats such as individual competitions have been cancelled. There are hundreds of teams of large and small sects participating in the competition, and the first is still a draw for the knockout round, and after many rounds, there are repechage matches and round-robin qualifying matches until the top ten and the top three are determined. ”

"In the next few days, after getting familiar with the venue, I will personally guide you to practice together a few times, but the intensity will not be too much, the main thing is to recuperate. ”

A few days later, the elite disciple competition of the Xiuzhen Sect in the eastern part of Shuxuan Immortal Continent kicked off as scheduled.
