Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 284 Before the Opening

The competition between the seven sects finally kicked off amidst the intensive preparations of each sect.

On this day, the autumn air was crisp and cloudless, and it looked like a good weather for competitions.

The venue for the gathering is set in a canyon in the Dingtian Mountains.This place is just at the junction of the seven sects, and a wide square was dug out very early on as a dedicated arena for holding the seven sect competitions every year.

Early in the morning, all the younger disciples of the seven sects were already dressed in neat attire, and lined up in the open space in an orderly manner.

Although at this time, it is still very early before the official start of the competition, and none of the judges from the major sects have arrived, but the previous notice clearly stated that the venue of this competition is determined by the judges with their spirit. A special space constructed by force, the participating teams enter through the teleportation array, and there is a time limit for the opening of the teleportation array.No one wanted to be eliminated before the start of the match because they missed the time limit, so they couldn't enter the arena, so they rushed all the way early in the morning.

Even Luo Dixing, who has always been known as the "King of Late Arrivals", actually arrived early this time. This is really a miracle of this competition.

During the waiting process, except for a few participating players who still hold the spirit stones in their hands and study hard, hoping to make a final breakthrough before the game, most of the disciples are still looking around curiously.

After all, they also live in the Dingtian Mountains, and everyone does not see each other when they look up, and there are many people who have a good relationship between different sects.Such an event jointly held by the seven sects is also a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, so everyone is naturally excited.

Among these curious gazes, the one that received the most attention was Mo Liangcheng of the Burning Heaven Sect.Not to mention the "No. [-] Genius" title that he was touted, just the strength of Qi Gathering at the peak of the sixth stage is enough to make him stand out from the audience.Although he still didn't have time to break through to Qi Gathering Stage [-], judging from his spiritual power fluctuations, this step is completely natural, and it is possible to advance to the next level at any time.

As for Luo Dixing, it is said that he was once stuck in Qi Gathering Stage [-] for a while, but after several months of final sprints, he was finally lucky enough to break through to Qi Gathering Stage [-] before the competition.

Chu Tian looked at these two people from afar, and felt a burst of pressure doubled.

Before he retreated, every time the elders in the door talked about his match with Mo Liangcheng, they always showed an attitude of "just do your best".Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone believed that he couldn't beat Mo Liangcheng.Although I was extremely aggrieved in my heart, after all, I had never dealt with the other party before, and my feelings were not particularly deep.

But Luo Dixing...!A long time ago, Chu Tianyao lost miserably to Luo Dixing in the competition of the Seven Schools.It was also in that session that Luo Dixing said in public: "A bunch of idiots! Don't waste my time in future competitions of this level." After that, he really never attended the competition again.

For other disciples, it would be best if Blood Rakshasa did not participate.Although the words are ugly, it is much more cost-effective to be scolded by him than to be beaten by him in the game.The audience was immersed in an atmosphere of relief, except for Chu Tianyao who remained silent, and his fingernails had already pricked the palm of his hand to the point of bleeding.

His self-esteem has always been strong.Luo Dixing despised the audience in public, but it happened that he had just been defeated by his subordinates, so the phrase "a bunch of idiots" naturally scolded himself.

To him, he had obviously considered himself dead, and thought that no matter how long he practiced, he would never be his opponent. Among the seven sects, none of the opponents was worthy of his expectation.So he chose to retire with his honor, however, he left all the shame to himself...

For many years, Chu Tianyao practiced hard, just to win a championship in the competition of the seven sects. At that time, maybe Luo Dixing would be willing to face himself squarely.He will participate in the competition again, and fight himself again, so that he can wash away the grievances of the year in the ring.However, time and time again things backfire.

The only thing to be gratified about is that other sects also did not have particularly outstanding disciples to rise up, and Luo Dixing's declaration of retirement remained the same.

It happened to be this year that the defiant Xue Luosha finally proposed to participate in the competition again. Although everyone knew that it was Moliang City that aroused his interest...but no matter what!Chu Tianyao clenched his fists tightly, as long as you are willing to participate, there will be a chance for you and me to fight. This time, I will definitely let you see clearly that I am not the scumbag in your mouth!

Putting aside this old grievance, Chu Tianyao continued to look around.The apprentice he personally brought out, Ye Shuo, who hadn't seen him for just a few months, had already risen to the Qi Gathering level.Up two levels in a row!This is something that many people have been unable to do for several years, but he was able to shorten this time so many times.

Moreover, when he was only accumulating energy for a while and had no foundation in spiritual cultivation, he was able to compete with An Yun who had cast the forbidden spell; after he had just undergone some basic training in the sect, he defeated Condensed-level Ruan Wei.Now that he has officially reached the Qi-gathering level, how amazing will his strength become—?

If it is said that too many miracles happened to Ye Shuo, Chu Tianyao has gradually become a little numb, then what surprised him even more was Ruan Shi!He couldn't be more clear about Ruan Shi's level.Except for his good mouth and tricks, in terms of strength, he is really mediocre, and he doesn't need to use two tricks to deal with him.However, now he has also broken through to the Qi Gathering level? !Also in these short months? !

The last memory Chu Tianyao had of Ruan Shi was that he and Ye Shuo had chased him to a desperate situation when he sealed off the city, forcing him to blew up his avatar. Although he was lucky enough to survive and come back, no one knew about it. his whereabouts.

Ruan Shi has been a waste for so many years, judging from his extreme hatred for Ye Shuo and his inability to retaliate, he was not hiding his clumsiness in the past.So, how can a person with mediocre qualifications improve by leaps and bounds in just a few months?

His spiritual power fluctuates smoothly and solidly, and it is indeed a genuine gas-gathering level. Unlike people who use pills to advance forcibly, there is often some vanity in their spiritual power.Could it be that the hatred for Ye Shuo could stimulate him to open his mind in an instant?This is too mysterious.It seems most likely that he had another adventure after escaping on the night of sealing the city...

However, as for what this adventure was, Chu Tianyao was not interested in delving into it.What he cares most about is the fact that Ruan Shi has already reached the Qi-gathering level.

It's really bad... those standing in front of him are throwing him further and further away step by step; those behind him are catching up with him step by step... everything seems to be heading in the worst direction.

Chu Tianyao's self-confidence when he just left the customs has been hit by these four blows.It's just that in his heart, he still has a burning fighting spirit. He believes that as long as he plays his trump cards, these short-lived geniuses will still be defeated in his hands in the end.

That's right, it's just that this time the competition has become less boring.But the final result, there must still be no suspense...

Come on all.Just this time, I want all of you to be my stepping stones!

In the team of Broken Star faction, Ruan Shi was also looking around.At this moment, many complicated things appeared in his eyes.His gaze seemed to be deeper and sharper, able to penetrate people's hearts at a glance.

After he showed his Qi-gathering level strength, those sect elders who had been squinting at him a moment ago, immediately surrounded him with a look of treasure.They greeted his relatives and exonerated him from all his previous sins. Not only did they unanimously pass his competition requirements, but in order to cooperate with him, he withdrew an existing student from the competition and replaced it with full payment.

In the past few months, they gave him a lot of cultivation resources, and also compensated Ruan Wei for the spiritual stones he had paid before, and all of this... was brought to him by strength.

Ruan Shi turned his palm slightly, staring at the crimson ring on his index finger.And his thoughts seemed to have crossed time, returning to the night in Yongfeng City...

"You two, the master is here." At the entrance of a remote alley, the man in black appeared like a ghost.

At that time, the father and son had nothing to do, so they could only follow the man in black to that strange deserted house.

After the three of them entered one after another, the dilapidated wooden door closed automatically without a sound, as if sealing a thousand-year-old tomb.

Immediately before their eyes was a dilapidated palace.The scale can still show the grandeur of the past, but maybe it has been abandoned for too long. Many colonnades have been rotten by moths, and the plaques are crooked and drooping. Dust, debris and cobwebs are everywhere. Can't find a place to stay.

Both of them watched the man in black vigilantly, but they didn't notice that the hall was suddenly brightly lit.

At the end of the hall, there is a short section of steps, on which a red lacquered throne is parked.At this time, two people came out from behind the throne, one was an old man with a scar on his face, he was no stranger to them, and he was the mysterious person in charge of the black market, Mr. Wu.

But the other one was a handsome young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his gestures exuded an air of nobility. Under the light of the candlelight, his face was also extremely charming and handsome.But maybe because of the weird environment at this time, his friendly smile also made them feel very dangerous.

The boy took the initiative to speak: "Brother Ruan Shi, it's really a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Ruan Shi frowned: "Who are you? How do you know me?" He knew very well that he had never met this person before, and judging from the other person's clothing, he also had a lot of background, so there was no need to curry favor with him.To be courteous for nothing, to rape or steal, he is very clear about the meaning of this sentence.

The boy was not annoyed by his contradictory, but the smile on his face became more cordial: "You bought your poison from me, how could I not recognize you?"

poison?From him?In order to deal with Ye Shuo this time, Ruan Shi did indeed buy a poison on the black market that could erode the power of spiritual cultivators, and he used Helian Zhengcheng, who was controlled by him, to send a box of spirit stones sprinkled with poisonous powder. Handed it over to Ye Shuo and Chu Tianyao.

But the person in charge of the black market is clearly Mr. Wu!Why did the boy say that the poison was bought from him?Now that he appeared with Mr. Wu, what is the relationship between the two of them?

Although Ruan Shi has always been conceited and smart, at this moment he is somewhat confused about the relationship.When he was still deeply confused by this, Luo Yu had already walked to his side quickly, and said in a low voice: "The trick is to highlight! This is our young master."

The young man smiled faintly, walked down the steps slowly, walked all the way in front of him, and said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Luo Chenxing. The black market you know is the property under our family."

Luo Chenxing?Master Luo?Luo family? !It was as if several thunderbolts exploded in Ruan Shi's mind one after another.Luo family, he had heard of it a long time ago, it was a very powerful ancient family in Yixi Kingdom.Their underground business has also penetrated into many counties, large and small.Unexpectedly, the black market, one of the two overlords of Dingtian City, also belongs to the Luo family!

At this moment, Ruan Shi suddenly felt that perhaps the real strength of the Luo family was much stronger and more mysterious than what all of them could see and imagine...

"My purpose for coming today is very clear." After Luo Chenxing revealed his identity, he stopped talking, "I hope you two can be my eyeliner in the Dingtian Mountain Range. What you need to do is also very simple, help me get close Keep an eye on all the movements of the major sects, especially Xu Wuji, the head of the Burning Sect.

Moreover, I hope that you can find out for me the weaknesses of each Sect Leader.This weakness does not refer to a defect in the cultivation method, but to their inner 'desire'.If a person has desires, no matter whether he succeeds or not, it will become his weakness.To control a person, firmly pinching his weakness is naturally the best way.

I don't need you to participate in my plans too much, all you have to do is just watch quietly, and then pass some information to me from time to time.Naturally, I will not treat you badly, as long as you do things for me with all your heart, whether it is spirit stones or cultivation resources, you are absolutely indispensable.

I know that Brother Ruan Shi still has a big vengeance to avenge, and I, the Luo family, will never treat any of my subordinates badly.In fact, you are no worse than those geniuses. What you lack is recognition and resources.Now, I am willing to give you a chance to prove yourself. Don't you want to rely on your own strength to stand in front of your enemy again and make him regret his past offenses? "

While talking, he walked slowly beside the two of them, and after some brief persuasion, he concluded: "I hope you two will be more considerate. But I don't like to force others to make things difficult for me. Even if you don't agree, I will still send the two of you back. Of course..." After a slight pause, his mouth pressed close to Ruan Shi's shoulder, "It's to send the two of you back——"
