Three days later.
The top 32 knockout rounds of the 100 ranking competitions started as scheduled.
On Wuhou Island.
There are still many people coming to Wuhou Island.
Except for those forces that have been eliminated from the 100 rankings this time, the remaining forces that remain on the list need to wait until the end of the main competition to continue competing for the remaining rankings.
But by that time, not many people will continue to pay attention to the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament.
Among these forces, the one that has made the greatest progress is the Spirit Sword Sect.
Thanks to Lu Lan, the "super dark horse", the Lingjian Sect successfully entered the top thirty-two ranks in his lifetime!
This is something Li Xiao couldn't even dream of.
During the past three days, while staying at the inn, he would go out for a walk if he had nothing to do.
Then just to hear more of what others said when they met him——
"Congratulations to Sect Master Li. The Lingjian Sect has actually entered the top thirty-two ranks one day. I think the future will be promising!"
"Sect Master Li is so lucky to have picked up such a good prospect like Lu Lan!"
"How did Sect Leader Li train that Lu Lan? Can you tell me? Don't worry, you can choose the girl from Manxiang Tower tonight!"
Every time he heard these flattering words, Li Xiao's lips almost reached the sky.
However, he himself knew very well that Lu Lan was only temporarily borrowing his place in their Spirit Sword Sect and would eventually leave the Spirit Sword Sect in the future.
At that time, once the truth of the matter is exposed, even if their Spirit Sword Sect appears in the top thirty-two positions this time, it will not be recognized by everyone, and it is impossible for many people to be willing to come to their Spirit Sword Sect. Zong further study.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao glanced at Lu Lan beside him, hesitated for a while, and said:
"Master Lu, Mr. Li has a request. I wonder if you can agree..."
Lu Lan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile:
"No matter what Sect Master Li said, as long as it's within my ability, I can do it."
Li Xiao gave him a place in the competition. If the other party requested it, of course he couldn't help.
Hearing this, Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's like this...our Lingjian Sect relied on Mr. Lu to get the top thirty-two ranking by luck, and we may get a higher ranking in the future."
"By then, there may be countless people in the entire Dawu Nation who came to our Lingjian Sect because of Mr. Lu."
"Of course, Mr. Li knows that Mr. Lu will not really stay in our Spirit Sword Sect... Mr. Li only hopes that Mr. Lu can still be said to be a disciple of our Lingjian Sect..."
Having said this, Li Xiao quickly said as if he was afraid that Lu Lan would be angry:
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, our Lingjian Sect will not take advantage of you in vain. When the time comes, Mr. Lu can come to our Lingjian Sect's medicine warehouse. If you need any medicinal materials, you can talk to Li."
"In terms of making swords, we can leave it to our Spirit Sword Sect. We, the Spirit Sword Sect, will definitely not take any money from you!"
Hearing this, Lu Lan raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then figured out the reason why Li Xiao did this.
He smiled and said:
"Zong Master Li is too polite. I will not tell anyone about the original deal between us. I am still a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect."
"In addition, after the Hundred Sects Ranking Competition is over, if I can be appreciated by His Highness, I might be able to tell His Highness that the Dawu Royal Family can help the Lingjian Sect a little."
Having said that, Lu Lan said no more.
However, Li Xiao could completely tell that Lu Lan... was already on the line with the eldest prince!
And if the Dawu royal family helps, it won't be difficult at all for their Lingjian Sect to become a truly first-class sect!
Li Xiao suddenly became excited and quickly thanked:
"Thank you, Mr. Lu! Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
"Master Lu's great kindness will be unforgettable by Mr. Li!"
"Okay, okay, don't be so excited. You, a sect master, bowed and thanked a disciple of mine. If others see it, they don't know what they will think."
Lu Lan smiled.
Li Xiao gradually calmed down after hearing this, but he still had an excited smile on his face.
At this time, Yuan Lang had already appeared on the main battle stage.
"Everyone, the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament has now reached the top 32 knockout rounds."
"We don't need to say much about the format of the top 32 knockout rounds. I believe everyone knows it."
"Now, please invite all participating practitioners who have entered the top 32 knockout rounds to come on stage and draw lots to select your first-round opponents!"
The words just fell.
Thirty-two figures leaped up from all directions on the viewing platform and landed on the main battle platform.
As soon as Lu Lan landed, he could instantly feel several eyes falling on him.
Except for Chu Tiantian, the other glances were not very friendly.
Needless to say about the Evil Flame Sect, most of the other sights came from Xuanyang Pavilion.
However, their eyes were not angry, just wary.
It seems that Huo Wuxuan has communicated with Xuanyang Pavilion privately, asking them not to be too resentful towards Lu Lan.
But the last remaining person cast a hostile look at him, which made him feel a little strange.
He glanced at it, and when the other party noticed it, he immediately looked away.
The other party's appearance made Lu Lan frown slightly.
If he remembered correctly, that guy should be a disciple of the Cold Tiger Sect, named Su Li, with a first-level cultivation in Xuanyuan Realm.
But he had no grudges with the Cold Tiger Sect.
Don't know why this guy looks at him like that.
After thinking for a while, Lu Lan stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, if the soldiers come, they will stop it, and if the water comes, the soil will cover it.
The draw ends quickly.
Lu Lan got the fifth lottery.
What surprised him was——
And the person who got the fifth lottery like him happened to be Su Li, a disciple of the Cold Tiger Sect!
The two of them looked at each other at the same moment when they drew the lot.
This time, Lu Lan saw a sneer gradually appear on his face.
"Haha, I finally ran into you... just wait to die under my hands!"
A triumphant laughter reached Lu Lan's ears, making him raise his eyebrows.
This guy... actually dared to kill Huo Wuxuan under his eyes?
Are they from the Evil Flame Sect?
No, they don't need to go to such trouble.
Could that be someone else found by the Fifth Prince?
No matter which possibility it was, it was enough to show that Huo Wuliang had specially arranged many back-ups in order for him to die.
The Evil Flame Sect is like this, and so is the Su Li in front of him.
Lu Lan sneered, ignored him, and returned directly to the area where the Spirit Sword Sect was.
Su Li was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Lan not paying any attention to him. Then he became angry and there seemed to be some abnormal wrinkles on his face.
"How dare you ignore me... just wait, this prince will make your death extremely miserable!"
He vented his anger in his heart and immediately returned to his position.
After Lu Lan returned to the viewing platform, he asked Li Xiao beside him:
"Sect Leader Li, how much do you know about Su Li of the Cold Tiger Sect?"
"Su Li?"
Li Xiao glanced at the other party from a distance, thought for a while, and shook his head.
"I don't know much about the Cold Tiger Sect, and I don't know much about this person."
"It's just... this person's name... is a bit weird."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Lu Lan asked immediately.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much..."
Li Xiao explained:
"The Holy Emperor has five princes and two princesses today."
"Among them, the Seventh Prince is the latest, and was given the name Wuli by the current Holy One."
"And his biological mother...well, I remember she was a noble concubine named Su?"
