Martial arts arena.
Xu Yang and Ji Hongluan floated down from the void.
On the high platform, all the peak masters, elders, and immortal disciples who had already taken their seats stood up and saluted respectfully, saying:
"Greetings to Master Xu Feng (Senior Xu), and greetings to Sect Master (Ji)!"
The voices were uniform and resounded through the sky.
Xu Yang held Ji Hongluan's hand and landed in front of the crowd, bowing to everyone:
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
He spoke very humbly, which was totally inconsistent with his identity as the number one evildoer in the Northern Palace. He did not seem arrogant or domineering at all!
Many descendants of the immortal clan sighed in their hearts that this Senior Xu was as gentle as jade, a gentleman. Not only was he talented in cultivation, but even the way he dealt with people was far superior to them. He was worthy of learning from him!
"Xu Lang and I were delayed by something, so we are late. I sincerely apologize to you!"
Ji Hongluan followed her husband's lead and bowed to all the descendants of the immortal clan.
Having said that, her eyes fell on several disciples of Ziyun Peak. For some reason, she felt a strange emotion from them, including hostility, envy, and so on.
As a woman, her intuition told her that among these disciples, there must be some who would rebel against their master.
It seems that after this Six Clans Competition, I have to go to Ziyun Peak to warn these disciples not to cross the line.
Xu Lang can only belong to her, Ji Hongluan!
On the high platform, not to mention the descendants of the immortals, the peak masters and elders of the Qingming Sect, as well as the people from other sects who came to watch the ceremony, were flattered to see Ji Hongluan, who was always domineering and always kept her word, bow down to apologize to them. They sighed in their hearts:
This is the power of love!
"You are too polite, sir. We didn't wait that long!"
"Yes, if you don't mind, please take a seat!"
"The time for the Six Meridians Competition has not yet arrived, so it is not considered late!"
After everyone exchanged a few polite words with Ji Hongluan, they sat down again.
Because Ji Hongluan is the sect leader and Xu Yang is the peak leader, their seats are not together.
Ji Hongluan originally wanted to sit in the same seat with someone else, since they would definitely be able to sit down if they squeezed together.
But Xu Yang refused. How could two of them squeeze into one seat in public?
"Little Hongluan, stop making trouble. There are so many disciples watching us!"
In public, Xu Yang was still very proud, and he communicated with Ji Hongluan through voice communication.
Ji Hongluan looked at Xu Yang reluctantly and said:
"That's not what you said last night."
Xu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There weren't so many people watching last night, otherwise how would I dare to..."
Ji Hongluan had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay."
Ji Hongluan felt that Ziyun Peak's direct disciples were not good people, so she didn't want to let Xu Yang go to her seat, but she didn't have any good excuse.
If anyone is to blame, it's the elder in charge of logistics. Knowing that Xu Lang and I had become a Taoist couple, he didn't even arrange a couple seat for us. That was simply carelessness.
After rejecting Ji Hongluan, Xu Yang came to his own seat, which was not among the thirty-six peaks, but in front of the group of descendants of the immortals. It might be because the elders of the sect did not know how to receive these descendants of the immortals, so they put him here.
After greeting the descendants of the immortals, Xu Yang looked at his own disciples. The Queen had no expression on her face, and her cheeks were as cold as ever. When his eyes fell on her, the Queen gave him a faint smile in return, although it seemed a bit reluctant.
Yu'er stared at him with resentment, as if she was staring at a scumbag master. Xu Yang was a little embarrassed. During this period of time, he was only concerned with appeasing the other three disciples and Xiao Hongluan, so he ignored Yu'er.
As for Qing'er, she puffed up her cheeks and looked at him jealously, her eyes sparkling with deep envy. She also hoped that one day she could show her affection in front of so many people like her master and Ji Hongluan.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, Qin Keyan curled her lips, pointed at the pile of spiritual food in front of Xu Yang, and said:
"Master, I want to eat that!"
The stalemate was immediately broken. The other three disciples, perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered by the other sisters and brothers, immediately suppressed their emotions.
Xiao Wu, luckily I have a little foodie like you here... Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, took out four spiritual fruits from the pile of spiritual fruits in front of him, and handed them to several disciples respectively. This was also a metaphor to show that he would not favor one over the other and he would not give up any of his disciples.
Yuan Kexuan took the spiritual fruit and glanced at her master, the coldness on her beautiful face slightly dissipated.
"Hmph~"
Yu'er groaned faintly, as if to say, "Don't think you can buy me off with just a spiritual fruit!"
Qing'er still felt jealous, but she felt better when she thought that she had spiritual fruits to eat while the sect master did not.
Qin Kewan buried her head in eating the spiritual fruit, thinking:
"I am already very satisfied with having spiritual fruits to eat, hehe!!"
Seeing that his four disciples were no longer quarreling with him, Xu Yang felt relieved and immediately looked for Xiao Beifeng among the crowd below the stage.
It locked on almost instantly.
"Xiao Beifeng, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Come on."
Xu Yang gave Liu Beifeng an encouraging look.
Liu Beifeng, dressed in shorts and looking very capable and heroic, nodded very vigorously after receiving the gaze from his master, his face full of enthusiasm.
She must win first place in this Six Meridians Competition!
Liu Beifeng had said these words in his heart countless times.
…
…
Soon, under the instruction of Ji Hongluan, the elders of Qingming Sect announced the rules of the competition to the participating disciples below the stage.
After listening to the rules, the participating disciples immediately jumped onto the martial arts field. At a glance, there were thousands of people.
Some peaks are not like Ziyun Peak. Their peak masters adhere to the concept of trying their best. They think that the disciples they have trained with all their heart and soul may not be the match of those from other peaks, so they simply sign up all the disciples who meet the requirements in the peak.
If a disciple gets lucky or breaks into the top ten, wouldn't that be wonderful...
There were many peak masters who had such thoughts, which resulted in thousands of disciples participating in the competition. Fortunately, the Qingming Sect's martial arts arena was large enough to accommodate so many people.
Because there is an odd number of participating disciples, one disciple will be left without a chance.
Originally, the elder wanted to draw lots to decide who would get a bye, but suddenly he saw a half-dead figure in the field. His face was pale, his figure was haggard, and his body was as thin as a skeleton. It seemed that he would not live long, so he immediately gave the right to a bye to this person.
It's not that he's out of kindness, but he wants this disciple to withdraw voluntarily after seeing the cruelty of the competition. Otherwise, if he dies in the arena before even starting the fight, who will be responsible?
The key point is that there are so many outsiders watching the ceremony on the platform. It would not be very elegant for them to see this scene...
Who else could this half-dead disciple be other than Li Cangxuan from Tianlei Peak.
Naturally, he gladly accepted the opportunity given to him by the elder to take advantage of the opportunity. After all, he could hide his power for a while, watch other strong opponents fight, and find loopholes. Why not do it?
The participating disciples from various peaks had no objection to the elder's approach. He was just a sickly man, so what if he advanced to the next round?
There are no rewards for those outside the top 500, so it won’t affect them at all.
At the same time, they also hoped in their hearts that they would be lucky enough to pick this sickly guy as their opponent in the next round. In that case, the chances of breaking into the top 500 would be greatly increased!
Liu Beifeng glanced at Li Cangxuan, but because his appearance and figure had changed so much, she didn't recognize him at all. This person was her old friend who she had defeated in Qianyuan City with one move, so she just glanced at him and didn't take it to heart. She began to focus on her opponent in this round...
