But his tone was cold: "What does your master want you to do?"
Qi Hao bowed and said, "Uncle Tian, my master, Master Cangsong, has been entrusted by the head of the sect, Master Daoxuan, to take charge of all matters related to the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition in two years. Because there are some minor changes, he has specially ordered me and Junior Brother Lin to come here to report."
Tian Buyi snorted and looked Lin Jingyu up and down, "You are deliberately trying to demonstrate to me!"
Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu's faces changed. Lin Jingyu wanted to explode, but Qi Hao stopped him with a hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Tian is really a joker. We are both disciples of Qingyun Sect. Uncle Tian is highly respected. My master has no intention of disrespecting you."
Tian Buyi didn't give them a good look at all.
Su Ru, on the other hand, smiled kindly and said gently, "Don't worry about it. Uncle Tian was just joking with you. By the way, you just said there was a change. What's going on?"
Chapter 43: Conflict
Qi Hao said respectfully, "Uncle Su, the story is like this. In previous years, in the Seven Sects Martial Competition, each sect of Qingyun Sect sent four people, and Changmen Tongtian Peak sent four more, making a total of thirty-two. They drew lots to compete, and the winner advanced. This went on for five rounds, and the final winner would be the leader of the younger generation of Qingyun Sect, and would be carefully cultivated by all the teachers."
Su Ru smiled gracefully, "In the last exam, you were the most popular person. I remember you were the runner-up. If it weren't for Xiao Yicai from Changmen, you might have won the title of the martial arts champion of Qingyun Sect."
Qi Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Su, you are too kind. In the last test, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai of Changmen was a genius with profound cultivation. I was far inferior to him. I was convinced of my defeat and have nothing to say.
However, regarding the 'Seven Sects Martial Arts Competition' to be held two years later, my master discussed with the head of the sect and made some changes to the rules, and specially ordered me to inform my two uncles."
Su Ru was slightly moved: "What's going on?"
Qi Hao said: "My master, Immortal Cangsong, believed that the purpose of the 'Seven Sects Martial Competition' was to identify the talents among the disciples of each sect and cultivate them. As of now, Qingyun Sect has nearly a thousand disciples, especially the young generation of new disciples, among whom there are many talented people. With this in mind, in an opportunity that only happens once every sixty years, each sect can only produce four people, which is really too few.
So my master suggested that each of the seven branches send out nine disciples, with the eldest branch having the most disciples. One more disciple will be sent out, making a total of 64 disciples. On this basis, we will continue to draw lots and play six rounds to decide the winner. This way, we can avoid the regret of missing out on a pearl in the ocean. "
Tian Buyi looked a little unhappy.
His Dazhu Peak lineage has few disciples and poor qualifications, which may seem to have an advantage at first glance, but in fact, Changmen Tongtian Peak and Cangsong Longfeng, which have the largest number of talents, have a great advantage.
Seeing that Tian Buyi looked unhappy, Su Ru shook her head slightly and signaled with her eyes.
Tian Buyi knew what his wife meant. Since the matter had been discussed by the head brother and Cangsong, it was a foregone conclusion. There was no point in arguing. Fortunately, he had his daughter Tian Ling'er and disciple Ling Yi in Dazhu Peak, who could bring honor to Dazhu Peak. He did not care at the moment and just said coldly, "That's great. I have no objection."
Qi Hao smiled casually, "That's the best. In addition, before I left, my master told me that my Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Zhang under Uncle Tian are old friends, and I hope Uncle Tian will let them catch up."
Tian Buyi waved his hand and said, "Okay."
Lin Jingyu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but he didn't dare to act because Lin Jingyu was a senior elder. When he heard that Lin Jingyu had agreed, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan was excited and also walked out.
Lin Jingyu walked up to him, looked him over carefully, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You have grown up, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan was filled with mixed feelings and nodded repeatedly: "You too. By the way, do you have any information about the tragedy in the village?"
Lin Jingyu shook his head and said, "I have asked Master many times in the past few years, but there has been no progress. What about you?"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly and said, "I am the same."
Lin Jingyu held his hand and said, "Let's talk outside."
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Tian Buyi and Su Ru. Tian Buyi ignored him, but Su Ru smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed, nodded to her, and hurried out with Lin Jingyu.
In the lobby, Qi Hao was the only guest left.
He was dressed in white, looking elegant and outstanding, with no unusual expression. He looked at the disciples of Dazhu Peak one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Song Daren. He bowed and smiled and said:
"This is Song Daren, Senior Brother Song, right? We met in the last exam."
Song Daren quickly returned the greeting: "Brother, you have a good memory. You actually still remember me, your defeated opponent."
When these words were spoken, all the disciples were shocked.
Tian Ling'er stood beside her mother and asked quietly, "Master's Wife, did our Senior Brother lose to him?"
Su Ru nodded and lowered her voice, "Back then, your senior brother finally won two games in a row. Your father and I were very happy. But he unexpectedly met this guy in the third round and was defeated after a few rounds."
"Is that so? Humph, if Junior Brother Ling was there back then, he would definitely not have lost." Tian Ling'er's eyes were full of Ling Yi's words, which made Su Ru smile bitterly.
Tian Buyi looked at his favorite disciple and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was right.
If Ling Yi was there back then, his expedition to Dazhu Peak would definitely not have stopped at the third round.
When Qi Hao heard the name Ling Yi, he suddenly remembered that before coming to Dazhu Peak, his master asked him to carefully find out some information about Ling Yi.
Over the past three years, although Ling Yi has not shown up in other peaks, he is well-known in Dazhu Peak and Xiaozhu Peak.
In particular, the fact that he could enter and leave Xiaozhu Peak freely had already spread throughout Qingyun Sect, making countless male disciples envious, jealous and resentful. How could he receive such special treatment?
You know, Xiaozhu Peak is full of female disciples, and each of them is extremely beautiful. Lu Xueqi, this favored girl of heaven, has long been known throughout the Qingyun Sect for her beautiful appearance and powerful strength.
Now the male disciples can enter and leave Xiaozhu Peak freely. How can they not be envious and jealous?
At the same time, Qi Hao also knew that Ling Yi could fly in and out of Xiaozhu Peak on his sword, which at least showed that he had reached the fourth level of Yuqing Realm.
He has achieved this after only three years of practice. In the eyes of everyone, he is already a top genius.
"This must be Junior Brother Ling. I heard that Junior Brother Ling has already cultivated to the fourth level of Jade Purity Realm at such a young age. Now that I see you, you are truly a rare talent."
Qi Hao looked at Ling Yi, smiled, walked forward, and bowed to greet him.
How could Ling Yi not hear the sarcastic words? Moreover, he did not have a good impression of Qi Hao, so he said indifferently: "Senior Brother Qi, you are too polite. I am not as good as the rumors say. Compared with you, I am far behind."
“Junior brother is really too modest.
Three years ago, my Junior Brother Lin was accepted as a disciple by Master Cangsong. In just a few years, he has made amazing progress. He is a natural genius in the way of cultivation. No one in our lineage can match him. He broke through to the fourth level of Yuqing Realm in just three years. Such a person has not been heard of in a thousand years. "
Speaking of this, Qi Hao was full of love and care: "Master praised Junior Brother Lin highly, calling him a prodigy that only appears once in a thousand years, almost comparable to the Qingye Patriarch back then!"
At this point, Qi Hao changed the subject and said, "I originally thought that there was no one else like you in the entire Qingyun Sect, but when I saw Junior Brother Ling, I realized that there is still some gap between my Junior Brother Lin and you."
These words, which were blatant praise but concealed criticism, really sounded harsh to Tian Buyi and some of the disciples at Dazhu Peak.
Su Ru knew about the situation of her disciple Ling Yi, but she didn't care much.
With a smile on his face, he was about to speak to ease the tit-for-tat atmosphere.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from outside the hall: "Ouch!" Before the voice fell, a figure fell in from outside the hall and fell to the ground with a thud. The remaining momentum was not enough and he even rolled backwards a few times, covered in dust and looking extremely embarrassed.
Everyone looked closely, who else could it be but Zhang Xiaofan?
Everyone from the Dazhu Peak clan changed their expressions.
Beating the disciples of Dazhu Peak at Dazhu Peak is completely a slap in their faces.
Ling Yi had a good relationship with Zhang Xiaofan, so he stepped forward and helped him up, then asked, "Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiaofan fell hard and was still a little dizzy, but he still said, "What? I'm fine."
At this moment, Lin Jingyu also ran in from outside, with an anxious look on his face, "Xiao Fan, are you okay? I accidentally..."
"How dare you make a mistake and bully my disciples on my Dazhu Peak? Do you really think that there is no one in my Dazhu Peak?" Although Tian Buyi did not like his disciple Zhang Xiaofan, he would not tolerate others bullying his disciples because he was protective of them.
Qi Hao saw this and knew something was wrong, so he quickly stepped forward and whispered to Lin Jingyu, "Junior brother, please apologize."
Lin Jingyu was young and full of energy, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't want to apologize, but thinking that this was someone else's mountain, he finally took a step forward and said to Zhang Xiaofan who was standing beside him:
"Xiao Fan, I was wrong just now. I said we should test each other's cultivation, but I didn't know how to control myself. I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaofan was really worried about his friend, but he could only say, "Nothing, I'm fine."
But everyone in Dazhu Peak changed their expressions. Tian Buyi became even angrier. He suddenly took a step forward with a red glow on his face.
Chapter 44: Defeat with one move
When Qi Hao saw that Tian Buyi was angry, his face changed drastically.
He is different from Lin Jingyu. He has been in Qingyun Sect for a long time and knows very well that although the strength of the Dazhu Peak lineage is far inferior to the other six lineages, the leader Tian Buyi and his wife Su Ru have amazing magical powers, and no one from other lineages dares to underestimate them.
Taoist Cangsong, who always looked down on others, also reminded him before leaving: Tian Buyi may not have a big temper, but his cultivation is very high. Plus, his wife Su Ru is also a famous talented woman in Qingyun Sect. Even the sect leader Taoist Xuan respects him and his wife a little bit, so don't provoke him unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, Lin Jingyu was completely unaware of this. But judging from his expression, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart.
Although he is very young, he is extremely arrogant. I think it is probably because Taoist Cangsong has spoiled him so much.
Tian Buyi was even more angry when he saw Zhang Xiaofan. He was about to take action when a figure flashed and Su Ru stood beside her husband. She stretched out her hand to hold him, with a faint smile on her face. She whispered, "You are already old. How can you quarrel with your fellow juniors?"
Tian Buyi was stunned for a moment and stopped.
Qi Hao quickly stood in front of his junior brother and said with a smile: "Master Tian, you are very generous. Please, for the sake of your master, don't bother with us juniors."
Zhang Xiaofan was anxious when he saw that Lin Jingyu had angered his master. In his eyes, Lin Jingyu, who was also an orphan from Cao Miao Village, was like his own brother.
Seeing Qi Hao pleading for Lin Jingyu at this time, his heart was warmed, and he couldn't help but run out and kneel in front of Tian Buyi's father.
"It's all my fault. I saw Senior Brother Jingyu...Lin coming with a sword, so I wanted to see his practice, so I took action. It's all my fault..."
Tian Buyi was already feeling depressed, and he couldn't vent his anger, so he suppressed it.
Qi Hao was fine, but seeing Zhang Xiaofan also kneeling in front of him, talking too much and looking stupid, he got angry and said:
"Shut up, you useless thing!"
As he said this, he waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew up, about to blow Zhang Xiaofan away. But at this moment, Ling Yi stood up, blocked in front of his junior brother Zhang Xiaofan, and bowed, saying:
"Master, since my good friend wants to test the strength of our Dazhu Peak disciples, why not let me spar with him and let him know that we at Dazhu Peak are not easy to bully."
When Tian Buyi heard Ling Yi's words, his anger subsided a lot. He thought it was worth a try, which could help to dampen their arrogance.
Qi Hao saw Ling Yi come out and offer to compete with his Junior Brother Lin. He came here with a test mission, so he thought it was worth a try. He immediately said, "Let Junior Brother Lin and Junior Brother Ling have a discussion. It's okay to stop at a certain point."
Qi Hao felt that if the other party lost, even Tian Buyi would not be able to get angry anymore, and he could also make his fellow apprentice famous, killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Jingyu looked at Ling Yi. He didn't take the people from Dazhu Peak seriously in the first place, so he naturally wouldn't back down. He immediately stood up and said loudly: "Okay, I also want to test the strength of the genius disciple from Dazhu Peak to see how strong he is."
Tian Buyi heard this and waved his sleeves, saying, "Go, let him know that we, the disciples of Dazhu Peak, are not people he can bully at will."
"Yes, Master." Ling Yi bowed and then looked at Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu also looked at Ling Yi, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.
Then, the two came to the yard.
Lin Jingyu drew his sword without any hesitation.
With a "clang", the dragon's roar echoed throughout the yard.
Lin Jingyu's whole body was covered in green light, and he raised up a shining green fairy sword. The blade was as clear as autumn water, and auspicious aura was rising. For a moment, everyone's face was reflected in green.
When Tian Buyi saw the sword, he suddenly snorted and said coldly: "Cangsong is really willing to pass on the 'Dragon Slaying Sword' to him."
Qi Hao smiled and said, "My master once said that my junior brother is extremely talented and will become a great man, so it is right for me to focus on cultivating him."
Tian Buyi didn't say anything else. He looked at the sword and didn't know what he was thinking.
Su Ru looked at the bad boy Ling Yi with a smile on her face. Knowing his current strength, beating Lin Jingyu would be like beating a weakling and it would not be difficult at all.
She had nothing to worry about.
"Come on, Junior Brother Ling, let this arrogant guy know how powerful we are at Dazhu Peak." Tian Ling'er cheered from the side.
Others were also cheering for Ling Yi.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the two people, one was his senior brother and the other was his good friend, and he was anxious and didn't know what to do.
Ling Yi had no intention of using his magic sword, after all, Lin Jingyu was not worthy of it.
Lin Jingyu looked at Ling Yi opposite him and saw that he was calm and confident, so he knew that he was quite strong.
Moreover, when he came to Dazhu Peak, his master also reminded him to give him a chance to test the opponent's strength.
Now is the perfect time for a big battle.
"please."
The two men saluted and started fighting immediately.
huh~
Ling Yi flashed and took the initiative, attacking Lin Jingyu with sword in hand.
Lin Jingyu had already been on guard in his heart. When he saw Ling Yi's figure approaching like a ghost, he immediately raised the Dragon Slaying Sword in front of him and protected his whole body with the sword's green light.
But his eyes blurred, and Ling Yi's body was ignored by the sharp green light and suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lin Jingyu's heart skipped a beat and he panicked, retreating backwards with "dengdengdeng". Even so, the Dragon-Slaying Sword remained steady and hovered in front of him to protect its master.
Seeing this, Ling Yi sneered, stretched out his right hand quickly, and broke the sword energy that protected his body. A layer of blue sword light appeared on his palm, resisting the green light. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand.
"How could this happen?" Lin Jingyu looked at this scene in disbelief. In his opinion, this should not happen.
Similarly, Qi Hao's face was filled with disbelief when he saw Ling Yi easily break through his junior brother's protective sword light and grab the Dragon Slaying Sword.
