One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Seeing that Su Mu was not willing to pay attention to him, Zhuge Qing also snorted coldly.

I only thought highly of you because I heard from Zhang Lingyu that someone could fight him to a draw. What are you so arrogant about?

He ignored Su Mu and looked at Zhang Lingyu, saying, "Master Lingyu, see you on the arena later."

After saying that, Zhuge Qing turned and left.

Feng Xingtong and Zhang Chulan stepped forward to greet Zhang Lingyu.

After giving a curt reply, Zhang Lingyu nodded to Su Mu and then turned and left.

Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth and complained, "This guy still loves to pretend. I don't even know what I did to offend him."

"Hehe, maybe that's just how Master Lingyu is."

Feng Xingtong looked at Su Mu and said, "Speaking of which, Zhang Chulan's purpose in participating must be to obtain the position of Celestial Master."

"Mr. Su, what is the purpose of your and Feng Baobao's participation?"

"My goal is very simple: to deal with everyone who is standing in Zhang Chulan's way of becoming a Celestial Master."

As soon as Feng Baobao finished speaking, all the contestants turned around and looked at her with unfriendly expressions.

Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly held Feng Baobao down.

"My dear Bao'er!"

"You'd better keep quiet if there's nothing wrong with you!"

"That one sentence of yours has instantly ignited a firestorm of hatred within me!"

Zhang Chulan sighed silently to himself.

These people were probably just curious about me at first.

Now that Feng Baobao said that, everyone wants to beat themselves to death!

Bao'er is so unreliable!

He looked at Su Mu beside him and said with emotion, "Brother Su, it's good that you were here this time."

"Whether I succeed this time depends on you!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, your brother Su will make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

"Yeah! I trust you, Brother Su. You're the most reliable person!"

Looking at Zhang Chulan's trusting face, Su Mu felt a pang of pity.

That poor kid... is so naive.

He came to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony with the aim of obtaining the Tongtian Scroll.

Despite the fact that in the original novel, Lu Jin casually gave the Tongtian Talisman to Zhang Lingyu, this is not a fool's tale.

But that was because Lu Jin admired Zhang Lingyu, and because Zhang Lingyu had a good master, Zhang Zhiwei!

Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin are old buddies, and their friendship is quite special.

If I were to get second place like Zhang Lingyu, it's uncertain whether Lu Jin would give me the Tongtian Talisman!

Unless he can get first place himself, or get Zhang Zhiwei to lend a hand.

There are currently two ways to get Zhang Zhiwei to speak up for them.

First, they rescued Tian Jinzhong.

After the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony concluded, the Quanxing sect collectively attacked Longhu Mountain, causing chaos.

In the chaos, Tian Jinzhong was killed.

Back then, Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Zhiwei went down the mountain together to search for Zhang Chulan's grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, but to no avail. Afterwards, Tian Jinzhong had his limbs crippled and lived in pain ever since.

Zhang Zhiwei has always felt resentful about this matter, feeling that he owes his junior brother something.

If he could save Tian Jinzhong, Zhang Zhiwei would surely be indebted to him and would naturally lend a hand.

Secondly, it was to let Zhang Chulan advance easily.

Zhang Zhiwei set up such a grand stage as the Luotian Grand Ceremony for only one purpose—

Let Zhang Chulan succeed as the Celestial Master.

There are two reasons why he did this.

First, it stems from a sense of indebtedness towards Zhang Huaiyi.

Zhang Huaiyi, Zhang Chulan's grandfather, was originally one of the most gifted disciples on Longhu Mountain, second only to Zhang Zhiwei.

The previous Celestial Master, Zhang Jingqing, disliked Zhang Zhiwei's somewhat arrogant personality, so he bestowed thunder magic upon Zhang Huaiyi, which was tantamount to telling others that Zhang Huaiyi was qualified to succeed as Celestial Master.

For Zhang Zhiwei, the position of Celestial Master was never something he coveted.

So if everything goes smoothly, the position of Celestial Master will most likely belong to Zhang Huaiyi.

However, due to the Jia Shen Rebellion, Zhang Huaiyi was unwilling to implicate his sect and left alone.

Zhang Zhiwei took Tian Jinzhong down the mountain to search for him, but to no avail. In the end, Tian Jinzhong was captured and his limbs were crippled.

He always felt he owed Zhang Huaiyi, so he wanted to make it up to Zhang Chulan.

The second reason is to protect Zhang Chulan.

As Zhang Huaiyi's grandson, Zhang Chulan is suspected of possessing one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, known as the Qi Body Source Flow, the ultimate technique.

Even though Zhang Chulan is now an employee of Na Du Tong, he still has the country standing behind him.

But the state is rational and adheres to laws and regulations; it will not protect its own like private factions.

This kind of rational support won't scare away those who want to take risks.

But Longhu Mountain is different.

If Zhang Chulan can become a Celestial Master, then taking action against him would be tantamount to starting a war with the entire Longhu Mountain.

Back then, the Sanyi Sect collectively hunted down Wugensheng, causing a bloodbath throughout the entire world of supernatural beings, even at the cost of the Sanyi Sect's decline and destruction.

This ruthless, reckless spirit is what makes evil people wary.

At the same time, the Celestial Master's Degree is also a kind of restriction, which can ensure that Zhang Chulan will not accidentally reveal the secrets of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques or the Jia Shen Rebellion.

Otherwise, given Zhang Zhiwei's personality, if he knew the secret of the Jia Shen Rebellion, it would have spread long ago.

Zhang Zhiwei went to such great lengths to set up the Luotian Grand Ceremony. If I cooperate with him and help Zhang Chulan ascend to the position of Celestial Master, he will surely accept any small request I make.

So to summarize, what I need to do is to communicate with Master Zhang Zhiwei in advance and ask him to separate me from Zhang Chulan when arranging the elimination round list.

Then we just need to put Zhang Chulan in the champion's position.

As Su Mu was thinking, a burst of laughter rang out from the high platform.

"Haha, young people are so energetic!"

Seeing you all makes me feel younger!

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin, Feng Zhenghao, and other big shots appear.

Among them was an elderly man sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by a young Taoist boy.

He is Tian Jinzhong.

Su Mu's gaze fell on the Taoist boy pushing Tian Jinzhong's wheelchair.

This young Taoist boy is no ordinary person; he is the current acting leader of the Quanxing Sect.

Gong Qing!

Speaking of this guy, he's an ambitious and decisive person.

He spearheaded the investigation into the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, starting with the origins of Qi.

It was he who proposed the crazy plan to besiege Longhu Mountain.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Zhang Zhiwei, the pinnacle of the superhuman world.

This almost led to the destruction of the entire Quanxing sect by him alone, and in the end, he had no choice but to stand up and sacrifice himself to quell Zhang Zhiwei's anger.

While Su Mu was pondering, Zhang Zhiwei had already finished his brief pre-match speech.

A large box was moved to the center of the arena.

"Please come forward one by one and draw your own slip of paper."

"We will conduct the preliminary rounds according to the numbers on the slips of paper."

The crowd lined up and took turns drawing slips of paper.

Su Mu was behind Feng Baobao in line.

Perhaps due to the inertia of the plot, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao drew the same numbers as before.

Zhang Chulan drew the White Tiger.

Feng Baobao is a katydid.

The number Su Mu drew was Bing Zhuque.

Su Mu looked at the number in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

isn't it?

If I remember correctly, the Vermilion Bird (丙朱雀) has a very troublesome opponent—

Zhuge Qing!
