Chapter 16: The Ring of Life and Death

"Hmph, even if it is discovered by you, so what, do you dare to do it here? You know, this is the residence of the Lingyu Sect, not the place of your Qilian faction. Since the cultivators of the Qilian faction had seen through his disguise, Ye Qiuli no longer insisted, and after a little luck, he quickly recovered his original appearance, and said to those people with a blank face.

If he was surrounded by these people in other places, he was still a little worried, lest there be any accidents, but inside this Floating Immortal City, at the scene of the Millennium Competition, he was not too worried about any uncontrollable situation, as the organizer of the event, the super big sect Lingyu Sect would obviously not allow such a thing to happen, otherwise, the order of the entire event would be completely chaotic.

Sure enough, hearing Ye Qiuli's words, although the Qilian Sect cultivators who surrounded him didn't show much restlessness, their faces still couldn't help but change slightly, obviously very jealous of the three words "Lingyu Sect".

However, the development of the situation did not completely follow Ye Qiuli's predetermined script, and those people who surrounded him, although they were indeed very scruples about the existence of Lingyu Sect, did not retreat on the spot, and still locked on him motionlessly, not giving him the slightest chance to escape.

"Hehe, Lingyu Sect's face, we naturally have to give it, but if you want us to let you go, it's also a fool's dream, and it's in vain. We really don't dare to do anything to you here, but it's not a difficult thing to take your life. Looking at his companion's unspeakable anger, the Qilian faction master who spoke first chuckled again, and then said unhurriedly.

As if worried that Ye Qiuli wouldn't understand what he was saying, the man paused for a moment before continuing to say with a mocking face: "I don't know, have you ever heard of such a thing as 'life and death ring'?

"Life and death ring?!......" Hearing these words from the mouth of the Qilian faction, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but make a loud noise, and there was a little more irrepressible excitement in their expressions, obviously very concerned about that matter.

"Hmph, although I don't dare to refuse in the ring of life and death, but your idea may not be able to fight well, and it is uncertain who will kill the deer. Since you are not afraid of the dead, then I will accompany you to the end!" Hearing the words "life and death ring", although Ye Qiuli was indeed slightly stunned for a while, he quickly recovered and calmly took the battle letter sent by the Qilian faction.

Having carefully read the cultivation notes of Lu Yan, Wei Changfeng, Baicaosanren and others, and having also lived in the small heaven for decades, Ye Qiuli's understanding of the cultivation realm is no longer the ignorant appearance before, what should be understood is almost completely understood, even if there are still some deficiencies, it will not cause much impact. And that life and death ring is exactly what he noticed early on.

The so-called life and death ring is not a place to fight without caring about life and death, but a way of dueling that never stops, and it is a very famous method of resolving contradictions and disputes in the cultivation realm.

This kind of thing is not very common in the cultivation realm, and generally only appears in the sects of the major cultivation sects, or in some important cultivation places, as well as in the course of some special affairs, and in other places, no one will mention it at all.

And the reason why this kind of thing happened was because fighting was usually forbidden in those places, and if there was any grudge between the cultivators of the two sides, they could not resolve it privately, so they could either endure it for the time being and wait until they got out of those places before making a move, or with the consent of the master of the town guard in the venue, they would fight openly in a special place, so as not to affect other people, and over time, this special rule was naturally formed.

For example, on the Qiyuan Star where the Millennium Great Competition is being held at this time, it is a place where it is absolutely forbidden to do things in private, and if different cultivators want to communicate and learn, they can completely get on those professional rings and compete in front of countless people, and compete with each other in a friendly manner; if there is any grudge that needs to be resolved, they must also enter some special places, otherwise, they will definitely be greatly interfered by the Lingyu Sect.

Of course, if you want to drag the opponent into the ring of life and death, it is not a simple matter, and if it is not agreed by both parties at the same time, it still cannot be officially opened. That kind of situation is not much different from the situation in a normal state where cultivators are forbidden to engage in private fights with each other.

After all, no one can force someone to take the initiative to send them to death. That kind of practice is completely contrary to the greatest principle of immortality for cultivators, and once someone does such a thing in public, it will definitely be resisted and opposed by the entire cultivation world. Of course, if such a thing was done in private, naturally no one would pay attention to it, and the cultivation world of the jungle was originally so cruel, and no one could change it.

Therefore, in order to smoothly resolve the contradictions and give the two sides a chance to resolve the dispute, after the appearance of such a thing as the life and death ring, a challenge rule attached to it was immediately born, as long as one party launches a fair challenge openly, in the case of the cultivation strength is not much different, and there is no overwhelming advantage, the opponent is not allowed to refuse at all, and must go on the life and death ring.

If in this case, the challenged party still retreats and evades, and insists on not being in the ring, then the town guards on the scene will allow the challenger to attack the opponent directly after discussion, and will not be subject to the prohibition of private shots, and will not be held accountable afterwards.

It is precisely because of the existence of this rule that since the emergence of such a thing as the life and death ring, the situation of taking the initiative to challenge will rarely be rejected by people. Those cultivators who evaded the pursuit of others would rarely run to such a place where it was forbidden to make private moves, and use the prestige of the controlling sect to prevent others from attacking. The story of the fox and the fake tiger is obviously difficult to interpret perfectly in these places, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

Just like this time, if the Qilian Sect sent a cultivator with a similar strength to Ye Qiu's cultivation and took the initiative to challenge him, then he would have to come down, otherwise, it would be a violation of this cultivation rule that has existed for I don't know how many years, even the Lingyu Sect, which is responsible for maintaining the stability of the order of the entire millennium, will not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of him.

At this time, since he was on the Qiyuan Star, the sect of the Lingyu Sect, and took the initiative to participate in the Millennium Great Competition that was being held in the Floating Immortal City, then he had to abide by the rules, unless, his strength was already strong enough to challenge the super faction of the cultivation realm.

And now, the full fight is not enough to cultivate into the realm of the merger period, and there is no huge force behind him to rely on, Ye Qiuli, who is completely alone, obviously does not have any ability to resist this rule maintained by the Lingyu Sect, so he can only follow the long-standing habit on the spot, accompany the cultivators of the Qilian faction to the life and death ring, and accompany those guys to maneuver.

Of course, even if he was forced to agree to go to the ring of life and death, Ye Qiuli didn't have much to worry about, with the comprehensive strength of his combined realm, coupled with the magic weapon equipment full of treasures, as long as he was not a top master above the tribulation period, the average cultivator was not his opponent at all, even if the Qilian faction did not shamelessly send a cultivator master of the combined realm, it might not cause him much trouble.

"Okay, kid is bold enough! Since you agree to go to the ring of life and death, then let's go. Seeing that Ye Qiuli agreed with his opinion unmoved, without the slightest expression of worry and fear, as if it was an ordinary thing, the master of the Tribulation Period of the Qilian Sect couldn't help but nod slightly, casually put on an inviting posture, and then took the lead in a certain direction.

"Let's go, who's afraid of whom!" Seeing that the cultivators of the Qilian faction had taken the lead, Ye Qiuli did not hesitate, he also snorted lightly, and then quickly followed forward, without the slightest appearance of wanting to retreat and escape.

Although the world of cultivators is a place where the law of the jungle is very important, those cultivators who pursue immortality and take ascending to the upper realm as their cultivation goal are not only biological instincts, but also have the slightest wisdom and rationality.

Therefore, since the cultivators of the Qilian Sect have decided to have a good battle with Ye Qiuli in the ring of life and death, then they will not do any more villain acts, and adopt any embarrassing crooked means to ensure their victory, that kind of approach, even if they can successfully achieve their own goals, the face of the entire sect will be completely lost, and the final result will definitely outweigh the losses.

The life and death ring challenges this kind of cultivation rules that have been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, although Ye Qiuli does not have the slightest ability to oppose it, but the Qilian faction also does not dare to destroy it easily, and still has to do his best to maintain the dignity in it, and not give others any grip. Therefore, since this matter has been decided, there will not be many changes in it, and the final result still depends on the cultivation strength of both sides of the battle.

"Let's go, let's also go and see what kind of person dares to clash with a great sect of cultivation like the Qilian faction. Seeing the cultivators of the Qilian Sect and Ye Qiuli walking towards the place where the life and death ring in the Floating Immortal City was located, the surrounding cultivators who were watching also greeted each other, following them in groups of three or five, heading towards the same goal.
