This year's sword trial meeting was very lively. Cangxu sent Lu Aotian to do something. Everyone wanted to come to Wuyou Town to see the excitement and see if this Cangxu sect was still worthy of being the first of the "Four Great Immortal Sects"?
Ji Beichen was still wearing the golden python and red clothes, looking like a suave and elegant young master. This time he came to Cangzhou City as the "Master Chen". He and Li Kuisheng on the main stage slightly held hands, which was regarded as a gesture of greeting. Say hello.
Yan Yueli obediently listened to Ji Beichen's words and changed from her usual charming and domineering image. She took off her red dress and put on a goose-yellow plain white skirt. She followed the female nuns from the Yuyin Sect and entered the room, warily staring at everyone in the conference. people.
Since Lu Aotian was silenced in public, it means that the Huan Mie Sect's conspiracy has not stopped, Ji Beichen's crisis has not been resolved, and even the Cangxu Sect cannot be said to be very safe. But in this sword test meeting, the people of Huan Mie Sect will never give up. They will definitely cause more trouble and take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Ji Beichen.
Yan Yueli could not trust anyone in the Cangxu Sect at this time. She had already decided to escort Ji Beichen to Shenjian Pavilion safely and deliver him to his mother Xi Yue with her own hands. Just as she was thinking about it, there was a noise from Ji Beichen's side, and Yan Yueli quickly squeezed past with a nervous expression.
"Mr. Chen! I heard that you and General Zhao were so impressive in the residence of County Magistrate Kong a few days ago, but did you know that Magistrate Kong was brutally killed after you left!" I don't know where the indifferent casual cultivator came from, It seems that they are not dealing with the Cangzhou City Government and are trying to pour this basin of dirty water on the Mu family.
Ji Beichen knew about County Magistrate Kong, and Yan Yueli told him the inside story yesterday...
Yan Yuezong helped deal with the gang of cannibal spirit villains, and the court was naturally grateful.
Just hearing that Yan Yueli went to Lihun Valley to find the beauty potion in order to clean up Bai Shuxiang for him, Ji Beichen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
When Ji Beichen saw Yan Yueli leaning in his arms, he happily talked about the process of "punishing" Bai Shuxiang, tapped her forehead, and said: "Don't do these dangerous things next time!"
Seeing Ji Beichen say this, Yan Yueli pouted, "She wants to be frivolous with you, how can I bear it!"
When Ji Beichen heard what Yan Yueli said, he felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "This... I am a man after all, so it doesn't matter if I am taken advantage of. Now that the Chenghuan Sect is colluding with the Huanmie Sect, and the Huanmie Sect is full of tricks, I am worried about you. …”
When Ji Beichen thought of Chen Ying'er being cruelly used by King Chen, his heart sank and he felt like a lump in his throat. Ji Beichen tightened his hands around Yan Yueli's waist, feeling very worried about her. Yan Yueli is simple-minded and doesn't know how terrible this human heart is...
At this time, when Ji Beichen heard someone mentioning the matter of "Mr. Kong", he did not show any expression on his face. He raised his hand and bowed to the casual cultivator, and then said calmly: "I don't know, Chen."
"That's a coincidence. He was brutally killed as soon as your front foot left your back foot. This Cangzhou City is really majestic!" The casual cultivator knew that Ji Beichen's cultivation was not high, so he smiled contemptuously, but still kept talking nonsense, and gathered around There are more and more immortal disciples.
Ji Beichen smiled and said nothing, with no intention of defending himself. It was not that he was soft-tempered and allowed others to bully him. It was just that he had long been indifferent to these rumors. Those who are clean will be clean. No one will believe him even if he speaks to the sky now.
Standing in the distance, Yan Yueli stamped her feet angrily. This idiot had been in the world for a long time, but he still had such an unarguable temper. It was really annoying. She was about to stand up for him, when she suddenly felt a powerful spiritual energy suppressing her face.
"Who slandered me as a distinguished guest from the Cangxu Sect?" A deep voice came from above everyone's heads. The voice came from far away and came closer in the blink of an eye. The onlookers from the Immortal Sect looked up and bowed their heads, not daring to make any mistakes.
The person who came was wearing a green robe with a luan bird pattern, stepping on the magic weapon of the Hunyuan Tiangang Sword, and had a faint mustache hanging on his lips. It was none other than Lu Shenji, the leader of the Qingtan Peak of the Cangxu Sect.
Lu Shenji brought Qingtan Peak disciples to participate in the sword trial meeting today. From a distance, he saw Ji Beichen surrounded by a group of unskilled casual cultivators. Li Kuisheng, who was sitting there, was busy and didn't notice it. He immediately rushed with his sword. Come to rescue him.
Yan Mingxiu also followed closely behind, feeling aggrieved. It was not the turn of rats like them to discuss the identity of his good brother.
He flicked his sleeves and said bluntly: "Master Chen was invited to Qingtan Peak by our Cangxu Sect. Who has any objections?"
The monk who provoked the trouble saw that the people who came were all disciples of the Cangxu Sect, and hurriedly apologized: "Since the Cangxu Sect said this, it is really a misunderstanding."
Li Kuisheng, who was not far away, heard the sound and rushed over, calling the onlookers to disperse. Ji Beichen had time to bow to Lu Shenji and said, "Ji Beichen, a disciple of the Cangxu Sect, has met Uncle Lu."
Lu Shenji looked Ji Beichen up and down and saw that he was still so humble and polite. He was very pleased and said: "Chen'er has suffered, please follow me back to Cangxu."
"This..." Ji Beichen was a little embarrassed. It was not convenient for him to leave at this time, but Uncle Lu's invitation was too warm for him to refuse.
Yan Mingxiu, who was on the side, grinned and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him: "Master Lu is really impatient. The sword trial meeting hasn't even started yet, so it won't be too late."
When Li Kuisheng saw that the disciples of the Cangxu Sect had arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Fellow immortal masters, you have come from afar. If you are not greeted at a distance, please take a seat!"
Ji Beichen was afraid that Master Li would be in trouble, so he looked at Yan Mingxiu for help. Yan Mingxiu immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly faced Lu Shenji and made way for the guests in front of him.
In previous years, Li Kuisheng presided over the sword test conference, and Li Qi'er was responsible for the competition. The Zhao family and the Mu family would also send young monks from the family to participate.
This year both Li Qi'er and Zhao Bai'er went to Liangzhou. Although Zhao Bai'er also selected some young monks from the military camp to participate, there were no outstanding ones among them and their strength was somewhat lacking.
Li Kuisheng talked to Ji Beichen about this matter, which is why Ji Beichen wanted to participate in the sword trial competition as "Mr. Chen"!
After a burst of passionate drumbeats, the sword trial meeting officially began.
Li Kuisheng walked to the front of the main stage and said in a loud voice: "You monks, you have tried swords for ten years, and you are prosperous and magnificent. When a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot sword and make unparalleled achievements.
Today we gathered in Wuyou Town to hold a sword trial meeting, in order to express ourselves and face our hearts through the sword trial arena. Find out-of-this-world rookies and meet like-minded Taoists. Now, Master Chen of Mufu in Cangzhou City announces the rules for the sword test! "
Ji Beichen participated in the sword trial competition as "Mr. Chen" just to replace Li Qi'er and host the sword trial ring.
As soon as he heard Li Kuisheng announce him as the emcee of the sword trial ring, he calmly stood up from his seat and walked steadily over with his head upright.
Ji Beichen stood still on the main stage and said loudly: "A total of thirty-two monks will participate in this sword trial meeting. The way of participating is determined by drawing lots. The sword trial will be held until the points are reached, and the winner will advance. You can choose by yourself during the competition. The use of hidden weapons and poisons is prohibited in magic weapons and exercises, and violators will be disqualified from the competition. Now I announce that the sword test conference has officially begun!"
With another burst of gongs and drums, the sword trial meeting began. As the master of ceremonies of the arena, Ji Beichen got off the main stage and prepared to move to the sword trial arena.
Yan Yueli saw Ji Beichen walking off the main stage, and quickly squeezed through the crowd and followed Ji Beichen. The Sword Trial Conference was a mixed bag, and it was impossible to protect anyone with evil intentions who was hiding in the crowd. She had to protect him at all times.
Ji Beichen knew that Yan Yueli was following, so he slowed down slightly and asked her to go with him.
Unexpectedly, some questioning voices came from the crowd: "This sword trial conference is really getting worse every year. This year, Juhe Sword Village not only has no spirit swords for sale, but even the master of ceremonies in the arena has been replaced by one who only has the foundation building period." The pretty boy!"
Someone in the crowd saw Ji Beichen approaching and quickly stopped him: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't you know who he is! I have a relative who works in the Mu Mansion. This Young Master Chen is the adopted son of Lord Mu. The city lord’s hand seal has been handed over to him, he will be the next Cangzhou city lord!”
Someone in the crowd was unconvinced and said: "So what about the Lord of Cangzhou City? People from the imperial court never ask about the affairs of the world of cultivation. He is only in the foundation building period, so what qualifications do he have to be the host of the sword trial arena? I'm afraid he will cry in fear. Find a wife, hahaha!"
Every year at the sword trial meeting, not only would the orthodox members of the Immortal Sect and Demon Sect send rookies, but the city lords’ palaces in each city would select young and promising monks to participate. There are many good people among them who want to challenge the authority of the Mu family and the Zhao family.
The world of cultivation has always relied on strength to speak. Now that Zhao Baier and Mr. Chen are not strong enough, there are a lot of such explicit gossips.
Ji Beichen was immune to such provocative words, but he only made Yan Yueli angry. Yan Yueli knew that she had promised Ji Beichen to keep a low profile, so he could no longer act according to the Yan Yue Sect's style and could only tolerate it for the time being.
Ji Beichen knew that his Li'er would be angry for him when he heard these bad words "organized" for him, so he took Yan Yueli's hand beside him.
It was the first time that Yan Yueli held hands with Ji Beichen in front of so many people, and her face turned red with embarrassment. Yan Yueli lowered her head, nestling next to Ji Beichen like a bird, letting Ji Beichen pull her.
At this time, at the Cangxu sect's table, Ji Beichen's younger junior sister Lu Xinrui was so angry that she bit her silver teeth to pieces and muttered to herself: "Where does this foxy girl come from to seduce senior brother Ji openly!"
Yan Nianxin, who was sitting aside, frowned and felt worried when he saw Lu Xinrui's appearance. He was aware of the matter between Miss Yan and Senior Brother Ji. At this moment, he was thinking about how to comfort his little junior sister, or should he take this opportunity to express his love to his junior sister?
Yan Mingxiu, who was sitting in the upper seat, saw the excitement, the corners of his mouth raised up, and he gently shook the folding fan, not only sighing: It's great to be young!
There are two types of arenas in the Sword Trial Conference. One is the knockout round, also called the rookie round. The participating monks are from various immortal sects and demon sects, monks from the city lord's palace in each city, and some more formal gangs. Therefore, monks who participate in the rookie competition need a letter of recommendation from their sect.
Another point is that participating monks are required to have a cultivation level below the Golden Core stage. To put it bluntly, it is a competition between rising stars among sects.
And some people who are casual cultivators, have no recommendation letters from sects, and cannot even join the gangs. They are not qualified to participate in the rookie competition. But they can participate in the arena competition after the rookie competition.
There is no need to disclose your name or appearance in the arena competition. As long as you are willing to play, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you can challenge the opponent. Therefore, the arena competition after the rookie competition is the most attractive part of the sword trial conference!
Back then, Ji Beichen won the first place in the rookie competition and picked out several people in the group competition. Finally, he was picked off the stage by a masked woman in red.
At this time, Ji Beichen looked at the competition venue set up in the center of the field, and suddenly wanted to tease Yan Yueli, who was pretending to be well-behaved.
Ji Beichen held Yan Yueli's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Have you ever been on this stage before?"
