Chapter 248: Secret Meeting of Yuanying

As soon as he pointed, the golden bell shattered, and the whole place fell silent.

The Fu Hu Zun, who had kept his eyes closed since the start of the top ten competition, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Mian, and then slowly closed them again.

The scholar and Qing Qiuzi also looked at Xiao Mian in surprise, but the scholar's surprise was more gratified, while Qing Qiuzi's surprise was more admiring. Others such as Madam Yuan Yan, Xi Zongjun, and Xiang Liuming all had uncertain expressions. If we say that the calmest among the seven Yuanying ancestors is the head of the Five Elements Sect, Dan Qiusheng.

It was as if from the beginning, he had never worried that Xiao Mian would not be able to break the golden bell.

As for the people in the audience, some cheered, some made noises, some questioned, and some praised.

There were many different opinions, and no one could agree.

But no matter how noisy they were, they could not resist Qing Qiuzi's cold snort. Qing Qiuzi's cold eyes swept across the whole place, and tens of thousands of cultivators at the scene were silent. The power of the Yuanying Patriarch and the respect that ordinary cultivators have for him can be seen from this.

With the end of the third round of competition, the points of the thirteen people have undergone new changes.

Xiao Mian still maintained four wins, accumulating twelve points and ranking first;

Lu Chengzhi and Chi Lianxia both won three games, accumulating nine points, tied for second;

Following closely behind are Xiang Wuqing and Bai Zhenzhen, who won two games and lost one game, accumulating six points respectively;

Then there are Jinlang and Huangfu Ling, with one win, one loss and one tie, accumulating four points;

Then there is Hu Yinghe and one, accumulating three points;

Then there is Zhao Yuanli, accumulating two points;

Then there is Xia Ziyan, accumulating one point;

The last ones are Wan Dongyao and Chu Nangong, these two unlucky guys have no wins and accumulating zero points.

After some people sorted out this ranking, seeing Xiao Mian at the top of the list, many people put away their previous contempt for Xiao Mian. In addition to the precedent of Huangfu Ling's voluntary withdrawal from the competition, they all began to speculate that Xiao Mian might be a favorable competitor for the championship of this sword fighting competition.

Of course, Lu Chengzhi and Chi Lianxia also won all the games, but they were at a disadvantage in points because they had one less game temporarily. Once Lu Chengzhi or Chi Lianxia played one more game, they would probably be tied with Xiao Mian in points.

Lu Chengzhi, Chi Lianxia, ​​Xiao Mian, the final winner, I'm afraid, will be among these three.

That night, in the secret room of Zaide Hall in Houtuping, Dan Qiusheng sat quietly. Beside him, there were not only scholars, but also Qingqiuzi and Fuhu Zunzhe - the three Yuanying middle-level ancestors of the three major sects of Wanzongyuan, and the head of the Five Elements Sect.

Obviously, they were discussing something.

"I just don't understand, why do we make things so complicated?"

The first to break the silence was Qingqiuzi, who was unusually lazy in front of others. He shrugged his shoulders, his face full of impatience.

"What kind of Podou Sword Meeting! It's just a play of thirteen juniors in the foundation-building stage, and seven Yuanying cultivators are left to guard here. And they have to guard for a month? If it were my opinion, I would just throw the thirteen of them into a corner and let them fend for themselves. Isn't the one who walks out alive the winner? Only the winner has the right to continue to survive!"

"Fox! Aren't we trying to find out the secrets of the Demon Shadow Sect?"

After being rebuked by Qingqiuzi, Fuhu Zun didn't even open his eyes, but Danqiusheng was expressionless, so the scholar had to explain again.

"It is well known that the Demon Shadow Sect has two Nascent Soul ancestors; but the news that the Demon Shadow Sect's leader Wan Tianyun is in seclusion seeking a breakthrough and intends to advance to the high-level Nascent Soul is not something that ordinary cultivators can know. If Yuan Yan is not lured out, how can the Demon Shadow Sect take action?"

If the scholar's words were spread, it would probably cause an uproar, but Qing Qiuzi's next words were even more shocking.

"Demon Shadow Sect? Humph! Just two Nascent Soul cultivators, I don't believe that we can't destroy the Demon Shadow Sect with so many of us rushing forward together?"

"It's not difficult to destroy the Demon Shadow Sect, but the difficulty lies in the aftermath after the destruction." The one who said this was Dan Qiusheng. The strange thing is that Dan Qiusheng, who had just advanced to the initial stage of the Nascent Soul, did not feel too restrained in front of the three seniors in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but said quite freely: "Senior Qingqiu, don't forget that this is a sensitive period!"

"That's right! It's been more than 600 years since the last spiritual war. It is expected that it will be the time of the 'Hundred Years of Covenant' soon. If we rashly take action to eliminate the Demon Shadow Sect at this time, not only will we be unable to explain to the local cultivators in Nanyue Province, but it will also easily attract the attention of Zhongzhou or other forces. Today's Nanyue Province is already in a storm, and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce The elders are all a bunch of old foxes, who never get up early without profit. How could they be interested in the Nanyue Province, which has always been known for its poverty? "

"Don't you suspect that there are 'those people' behind the Demon Shadow Sect? It has been six hundred years since the last spiritual war. Although the Demon Shadow Sect claims to have been established for a thousand years, it actually began to rise suddenly hundreds of years ago. The timing is just right. Even if we eliminate the Demon Shadow Sect, we can just blame 'those people'. Why bother with so much trouble?" After saying this, seeing the scholar and Dan Qiusheng smiling bitterly at each other, Qing Qiuzi suddenly smiled strangely: "It's just that people's words are scary and people's hearts are treacherous! You..., you human cultivators..., tut tut..."

"You fox! You obviously see it more clearly than anyone else, but you still pretend to know nothing. Are you pretending to be young! ? "

"Hmph! You should also know, right? My senior brother Dan Chenzi is now over 800 years old and is about to die. He participated in the spiritual war that year. According to him, the Demonic Shadow Sect's skills are very... It smells like an old friend he knew back then. You should know the identity of the person I'm talking about, right?"

Seeing that even Venerable Fuhu opened his eyes and looked at him, Qingqiuzi whispered with a rare serious expression: "Senior Brother Danchenzi suspected: That person has always been alive! It is for this reason that Senior Brother Danchen insisted on personally Sneak into the Demonic Shadow Sect to find out."

"If this is the case, this spiritual war will be in danger for Nanyue State! In this way, although we don't know why the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has sent its tentacles deep into Nanyue State, if we can drag them down, ,perhaps……"

As soon as Dan Qiusheng said this, the scholar shook his head.

"I'm too familiar with the style of those old foxes. Don't tell me if you can't afford it. If there are good things, they will pick them first. If there is danger, you go first. Danqiu, if you want them to take the lead, it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. There will be no What a happy ending."

The scholar frowned and changed the subject.

"Of course, if the entire Nanyue State is really in danger, we might as well take the initiative to welcome the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to settle in South Vietnam. After all, it is better for Nanyue State to fall into the hands of those old foxes than to fall into the hands of 'those people'!"

"Speaking of which, the reason why Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has a reason to settle in our South Vietnam is not all the fault of the Bai family? What did the Bai family say about the last incident?"

"The Bai family said that their ancestors have been in seclusion!" Shaking his head, the scholar sighed: "They admitted to the robbery in Lingchuanfang City, but they blamed all the crimes on an insignificant bystander. As for the disciple, although that person is also a golden elixir cultivator, he is just a golden elixir that has just been generated by secret techniques and spiritual elixirs. However, after the incident in Lingchuanfang City, I personally went to investigate, and it was not what that kid could do. Although the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce didn’t say much, they felt uncomfortable when thinking about it, and because of this, they never stopped infiltrating South Vietnam.”

"Retreat? Huh! Does that old guy really want to become the first great monk in my South Vietnam state?"

The old guy Qingqiuzi mentioned was Bai Haonan, the head of the Bai family.

The ancestor of the Bai family has a level of cultivation that is even higher than that of Qingqiuzi, and is currently in seclusion seeking a breakthrough to the high level of Nascent Soul.

Qingqiuzi twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered jokingly to himself.

"Hmph! So what if he succeeds in advancing? The combined swords of me and senior brother Danqing are enough to fight against the high-level monks of Nascent Soul. Great monk, I heard that your Tianlong Temple also has a combined attack technique of 'Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger Formation' , should be able to restrain the great monk, right?"

"If Lao Na and Brother Jianglong join forces to perform the Dragon Subduing Tiger Formation, they can compete with the great monks!"

"Isn't this solved? If you make me angry, our brothers will kill the Bai family and wipe out his whole family! Don't be afraid, poor man, my brother will help you clean up the family; great monk, count you among them!"

"Amitabha! God has the virtue of a good life..."

"Forget it! I don't want you to go! Boy Danqiu, how about you go with us?"

Qingqiuzi seemed to be afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he encouraged everyone to attack the Bai family.

Dan Qiusheng smiled and shook his head, but the scholar cursed angrily.

"Fox! Can't you just say a few words? In such a sensitive period, we don't even dare to act rashly with people of unknown origins like the Demon Shadow Sect. How can we provoke the deep-rooted Bai family again? But the Bai family is indeed getting more and more... It’s outrageous, even the peasants are going to be annexed. It seems that after this sword fight is over, they will be restrained.”

"Hmph! You finally said the right thing, Qiongsha! If you want to fight then, come to me. I've long disliked those bastards from the Bai family!"

This guy has been in Taoism for hundreds of years, why is he still so murderous?

The scholar looked at the excited Qingqiuzi and smiled bitterly. Venerable Fuhu closed his eyes again, as if he was in trance and remained motionless. Danqiusheng always smiled, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and it seemed that Everything is under his control.

The secret room fell into silence again, lifeless.
