Chapter Seventy-Three: The Second World War at the Outer Gate
The two major alliances of the Soul Splitting Gang and the Heaven and Earth Society have been grudging for a long time, but they have been secretly competing, and they are all doing something in private, and they dare not do anything in public. The accidental death of Hu Dingtu this time can be said to have fully detonated the hatred between the two sides, and the contradictions intensified and became known to everyone for a while.
The door rules say: Unless there is a battle between life and death, it is strictly forbidden to kill the same door in the Demon Sect.
Although this is stipulated, the disciples of the Demon Sect are all clear in their hearts, and there are not many dead fellow disciples, but everyone's aftermath work has been done well, and there is no trace of the destruction of corpses, so that outsiders basically can't see the horse's feet, and they can't find evidence. As a result, very few people "really" break this rule.
But this time something is different, and there is "evidence" for this.
With the well-known "evidence", Hu Dingshu took the opportunity to consolidate the power and reshuffle the cards, and by the way, he turned against his rival. And the Heaven and Earth Society, as one of the best alliances, is naturally not a vegetarian, and counterattacks follow one after another, fighting for your life and death.
......
Putting aside how complicated this matter is for the time being, since the contradiction between the two alliances involves the torture hall, it is obviously difficult to get this matter right.
The contradiction between the Soul Splitting Gang and the Heaven and Earth Society intensified, and the people of the Nine Shadows Society were not very clear, and they were not affected too much, and they shifted their attention to the task of the sect.
The Soul Breaker Gang provoked a war, causing the Heaven and Earth Society to temporarily take their eyes off this small nascent alliance. In fact, they didn't take this small alliance in their eyes, and originally wanted to strangle it in infancy, but because of Chen Yiliang's incident, they diverted their attention and inadvertently gave the Nine Ghost Society a wonderful opportunity for development.
After all, in their eyes, the Soul Breakers are their worst enemies. And the Nine Trysts are like a small ant nest composed of a rabble, which can be solved by raising your hand, and it doesn't need too many eyes from the strong, so it doesn't take it too seriously.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed worth it for Xie Qingci and the others to choose to trade with Wenrentong, and these tiger striped golden butterflies helped them block a big disaster, leaving them with precious respite.
It can only be said that there is a destiny between the dark and the dark.
......
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
For a whole month, Xie Qingci and the others shuttled around the Demon Sect all day long, constantly running in with each other in combat cooperation, and gradually became acquainted.
The few people of the Nine Tryst Society are not the masters who keep to themselves, a group of little devils, and the style of locusts crossing the border is outrageous, which also makes Ye Lingling frown, for fear that one day she will be assassinated.
However, these days, they are busy with the tasks of the sect, and the accumulation of tasks has made the name "Nine Trysts" have some fame in the outer gate, which makes Ye Lingling feel a little relieved.
Although they have few members, they are all elites. In the first round of the Outer Gate Dabi, their achievements are remarkable, and their reputation is outstanding, like Xie Qingci, Zhong Ming, Song Wei, and Fang Zhiming, which one is easy to provoke and which one is easy to deal with? Even Ye Lingling, who seems to be the weakest, has a lot of power and strength, and her strength cannot be underestimated.
Of course, many people will wonder why these people who seem to have different temperaments would come together to form an alliance, after all, they are all loners, and their strength is also first-class and strong, and they don't look like people who can cooperate with others.
It's hard for anyone to say clearly, maybe even they don't understand it.
......
The top 20 ranking competition in the second round of the outer gate is different from the first round, and the top 20 who can enter the big competition are already the inner disciples, all of whom are the elites who are killed among tens of millions of people.
Therefore, in the second round of the top 20 ranking, the Demon Sect adopts a more direct elimination system, which is played by drawing lots, and the top ten, top five, and top three are determined in turn, so as to determine the results more quickly and rank them.
Although the final result is to enter the inner door, everyone knows that the higher the ranking, the more resources will be obtained and the resources will be more skewed. If he performs well, he still has the possibility of becoming a powerful apprentice of the Demon Sect, and since then he has been promoted to the ranks of elite disciples, and he has soared to the sky.
Therefore, the confrontation between the top 20 will be more intense and exciting.
On the other hand, Zong Sheng has been thinking about taking Xie Qingci as an apprentice so that he can protect him, and he is also closely following the situation for this competition.
He knew that the old fellows of the Demon Sect might be secretly observing like him. His little words are so good, maybe someone will take a fancy to him and want to accept him as an apprentice. How could he be willing to send his good niece to the hands of the demon sect to be bullied? He had to take care of it himself to rest assured.
Zong Sheng likes to arrange things well and make sure nothing goes wrong. This round, he secretly made some small moves and dug some small ambushes to hit the "dangerous people" he thought he had, which can be said to be exhaustive, and it did play some role.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that under such careful planning, the good niece he was thinking about didn't worship him as a teacher in the end, of course, this is a later story.
......
On this day, Ye Lingling seemed very excited, and sat with Xie Qingci and quietly spread the news.
"The second round has finally begun, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time, this is a great opportunity for our Nine Tryst Society to make a name for itself! You must get a good ranking! If you can worship a good master and let us have someone behind us, it will be even more perfect. ”
When Xie Qingci heard this, he poked Lingling's forehead with his fingertips, and his face showed disgust: "You are obviously also in the top twenty, why don't you find a good master, but let us find it?"
Ye Lingling looked indifferent, shook her hand to show that she didn't care, and said: "I know in my heart a few pounds and a few taels, and it is difficult to enter the top ten." I don't think anyone will take a fancy to me and want me to be an apprentice. I still prefer to manage the alliance to others to control me. ”
She looked at Xie Qingci and blinked, with a curious expression: "Qingci, do you have a favorite candidate for master?"
Suddenly asked this, Xie Qingci couldn't help but be stunned, and Zong Sheng's gorgeous face suddenly appeared in his mind.
If it were her, she would have chosen her uncle, right? She hadn't thought about it, if it was her uncle, it would be fine, but she always felt that something was missing......
Xie Qingci thought for a moment, and finally just shook his head: "Let it be, I don't care." ”
Ye Lingling pursed her lips, shifted her gaze to Song Wei, who was a little distracted, and quietly passed on to Xie Qingci:
"I think Song Wei should have been taken by the high-level puppeteer master of the Demon Sect. After all, there was a puppeteer of the earth-level drought fish during the Qi refining period...... Don't talk about it, I haven't heard of it before. I think that the most powerful puppet master in the Demon Sect is currently recognized as the Ghost Master Ancestor, that is the Great Demon Cultivator out of the body, if you can......"
Xie Qingci glanced at her, and when he saw that her eyes were shining with an intoxicated look, he couldn't help but smile and scolded: "You think beautifully, how can it be so easy, it's an out-of-body demon cultivator! They have read thousands of sails, what genius has never seen, where can it be so easy to accept apprentices?"
As she spoke, she inexplicably felt a little weak-hearted, and her uncle seemed to want to take her as an apprentice......
Ye Lingling was annoyed and angry: "Qingci, you are so annoying, let me think about it!"
She sneered and didn't answer much, so she deliberately teased Ye Lingling and poured cold water on her.
Ye Lingling is a pungent character, straightforward and shrewd, sometimes a little mean, but she is delicate in dealing with people, and she feels that this person is straightforward and cute when she has more contact.
On the side, Fang Zhiming was talking to the people around him, smiling and talking quietly, while Zhong Ming, who was staying next to him, was the opposite, just sitting quietly and closing his eyes to recuperate, looking like no one should be disturbed.
Xie Qingci noticed that since returning from the underworld, Zhong Ming had become more and more silent.
I used to say a few more words, but now I don't have anything to say. He always put on a stinky face for 10,000 years to the outside world, and he originally had nothing to say to them, and he only got along for a month to let him take care of it a little, and the rest of them basically ignored it.
Zhong Ming himself has a strong evil spirit, coupled with the blessing of Huangquan's demonic energy, the whole person lives like a fierce Hades, and his fierce reputation is not small in the outer gate.
And Fang Zhiming's talk about Twenwen is charming and innocent, which really makes people feel good. No one can refuse to talk to him as long as he wants to.
He was chatting happily, and inadvertently looked up, but was unconsciously attracted by a figure not far away.
After seeing the man's instructions, his eyes unconsciously darkened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared unconsciously. Of course, he quickly restrained his emotions and returned to his calm appearance. It's just that compared to Fang Cai, he is obviously a little absent-minded.
......
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
At this moment, Song Lele's shouting came from not far away. Song Lele opened her big black eyes, staring at the few tall men who suddenly appeared beside her, with a look of vigilance and defense, her small fists clenched unconsciously, and she was ready to fight.
Although it is acquired, it also has a bit of psychic nature and is very sensitive to people's malice. She now clearly felt that this group of people was not good.
Song Wei received the information from the natal spirit contract, staring at these uninvited guests like Song Lele, and unconsciously felt more defensive and cautious in his heart.
Naturally, he knew these people. The outer disciples who are also among the top 20, although they have not faced each other head-to-head, are all strong opponents, and they will leave an impression in their minds.
The Nine Ghost Society faintly gained a certain reputation in the outer gate, they naturally knew it, and even they were invited by Ye Lingling to join, but they finally refused. The most intuitive understanding of this Nine Tryst is that it is bold, and the most famous thing is to rob the Tiger Stripes Golden Butterfly mission of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Although the Heaven and Earth Society is now busy dealing with the Soul Splitting Gang and has no time to deal with this Nine Trysts in person, it doesn't mean that they can't clean them up. With their power within the sect, as long as they are faintly instructed, there will naturally be countless people rushing to help them find trouble.
For the vast majority of people, it is easy to deal with a newly formed, very small number of people, and the highest level of people who are only cultivating Qi Great Perfection, in order to obtain a favor from the Heaven and Earth Society, so why not?
There are obviously quite a few people with such calculations. But even if they were already quasi-inner disciples, before they were officially recognized, Xie Qingci and the others were still members of the outer sect.
In the door rules, inner disciples are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the outer gate, and there are really not many people in the outer gate who can deal with Xie Qingci.
In this case, the opponents who are also in the top 20 outside the door and compete with them have become a very suitable choice.
