Everyone knows that the Changyang Gang is powerful in Cangzhou City and has the support of powerful people in the capital. Although the Changyang Gang's information network is not as developed as the secret guards of Juhe Jianzhuang, their methods are despicable and cruel, and the gang leader He Zhixing is good at manipulating power, so everyone in the world is afraid of the Changyang Gang.
Today, the leader of the Changyang Gang, He Zhixing, appeared in person, and everyone speculated that he must be eyeing a certain treasure!
He Zhixing was moved to the seat next to Ji Beichen by Li Kuisheng. Ji Beichen suppressed the anger in his heart and remained calm.
Ji Beichen cupped his hands towards He Zhixing and said, "I've heard from Deputy Gang Leader Qiu that you would come today. It's really an honor for me to come from Gang Leader He!"
When He Zhixing heard Ji Beichen's words, he kept a calm expression on his face, unable to see any flaws. He waved his hand to Ji Beichen and said, "Young Master Chen is so polite. Our Changyang Gang and the Mu Mansion have long been as close as one family, sharing weal and woe."
Ji Beichen stared at He Zhixing's face and tried his best to control his facial expression. He has now recovered his memory. When he saw He Zhixing's face, he immediately recalled everything that happened that year.
Ji Beichen remembered the way his grandfather Mu Xiao treated He Zhixing and treated him with courtesy. Who would have thought that He Zhixing went in the opposite direction, repaid kindness with hatred, and joined forces with foreign enemies, causing the Mu Mansion to suffer the disaster of annihilation.
Ji Beichen hid his hands in his sleeves and clenched his fists tightly. His nails dug deeply into his flesh, and he secretly swore in his heart: Today he will definitely kill the enemy in front of him in this sword trial arena!
Soon after, there was some commotion outside the venue, it must be that Kenshin Koto had arrived!
Ji Beichen looked towards the door of the venue and saw an elegant female cultivator. She was holding a guqin in one hand. The guqin was wrapped in red silk and satin, making it impossible to see its complete appearance. However, from the immortal energy and charm emanating from the guqin, you can feel that its aura is affecting every monk present.
Ji Beichen raised his eyes and looked at the Sword Heart Qin, and found that the female cultivator holding the Qin was actually Mu Xiyao, whom he had not seen for many days.
Mu Xiyao was escorted back to Yuyinmen by the Cangxu faction a few days ago. As the scapegoat, Mu Xiyao should not have appeared in the arena. However, Mu Xiyao was extremely accomplished in the guqin, and some of her understanding even surpassed that of her master Yuyin Sect Master. Therefore, Mu Xiyao won the heart of Princess Mu Yao, the lord of Qiongzhou City.
Ji Beichen didn't expect to meet Mu Xiyao here. He had heard Yan Mingxiu mention that the Yuyin Sect had done some unethical things, which caused them to gradually deviate from the correct path of the Immortal Sect.
Ji Beichen was deeply moved, feeling that the current world has indeed become a little distorted. People's hearts are unpredictable and the world is full of chaos. However, he firmly believed that Mu Xiyao was not that kind of person. The things she did must not be her own wishes, but were bound by her teacher's orders and were difficult to violate.
As the competition in the arena began, Ji Beichen easily challenged several casual cultivators who were building humane foundations. There was no real threat to him.
Zhao Ling'er was ordered by Bai Shixianweng to go to the venue to take care of Ji Beichen. After each competition, Zhao Ling'er would personally come forward and feed Ji Beichen a Qi-Building Pill to help him regain his physical strength.
Ji Beichen picked several people in one breath, his breath a little disordered. Upon seeing this, Zhao Ling'er immediately took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and carefully wiped the sweat on Ji Beichen's forehead.
A female cultivator in the audience thought she could take the opportunity to get close to Ji Beichen, but she didn't expect that in less than half a day, Master Chen would have a young woman waiting for him. She could only sigh helplessly that her chances of becoming a leader had become slim.
Zhao Ling'er took advantage of the opportunity when no one came on stage to challenge him, and carefully checked Ji Beichen's pulse. As soon as she put her hand on Ji Beichen's wrist, she frowned.
Zhao Ling'er didn't know what Ji Beichen was going to do today. She only knew that Ji Beichen had just succeeded in building the foundation of Heavenly Dao, but she didn't know why he seemed to be losing momentum now.
Ji Beichen used Yan Yuezong's skills to build his foundation before. At that time, Baishi Immortal personally fed him the foundation-building spirit liquid. After building the foundation, Ji Beichen's foundation was still stable.
When Zhao Ling'er checked again at this time, she discovered that Ji Beichen had risen from the realm of Foundation Establishment to the fifth level of the Expelling Object Stage in just a few days because of his blind pursuit of speed.
Zhao Ling'er didn't know what Ji Beichen had been through these days. He had never encountered such a serious Dantian problem.
Zhao Ling'er became more and more anxious as she checked her pulse, and finally almost cried: "Achen, your Dantian is so damaged. Did you vomit blood this morning? You must stop the competition in the ring immediately!"
Ji Beichen gently pulled back his wrist and comforted Zhao Ling'er: "Ling'er, don't joke. Now that I have entered this arena, I can't get off easily. You don't have to worry, I have a way to win to the end!"
At this moment, another challenger came on stage. After Ji Beichen said these words, he patted the back of Zhao Linger's hand, stood up and went on stage.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Ji Beichen's retreating back, unable to persuade him to stop, so she could only quietly wipe away her tears.
Even if Ji Beichen didn't say anything, how could Zhao Ling'er not understand! The leader of the Changyang Gang, He Zhixing, was right in front of her. He was the enemy of the Mu family, but she couldn't do anything. How could she not understand Ji Beichen's mood.
Zhao Ling'er stood up and retreated to a hiding place, whimpering. There was one thing she had always hidden from Ji Beichen, and that was Mu Qing's physical condition. When she left Cangzhou City, Mu Qing's health suddenly deteriorated. She didn't know whether Mu Qing could survive it or whether she could see Ji Beichen one last time...
Zhao Ling'er wiped away her tears and calmed down. She knew she couldn't do anything at this moment. She had to find a way to persuade Ji Beichen. She suddenly thought of Yan Yueli!
Huan Mie Sect Elder Jie Xie had been watching Ji Beichen's battle in the audience, watching him successfully defeat those casual cultivators. Although most of his body and spiritual energy had been consumed, he still showed great strength. He flew onto the stage.
Elder Scorpion was not as tall as Ji Beichen, but his eyes were sharp and he gave off an aura that should not be underestimated.
Elder Scorpion sneered at Ji Beichen and said, "Mr. Chen, your strength is indeed good. But, can you show more strength in front of me?"
There was a hint of challenge in Elder Scorpion's words, as if he was expecting Ji Beichen to show a more exciting performance.
Ji Beichen looked at Elder Clamp calmly and replied with a smile: "Elder Clamp is well-rewarded. I have been waiting here for a long time. Now let us see who can persevere in this arena until the end!"
Ji Beichen waved to Elder Xie Xie: "Please, Elder Xie, let's get started!"
Ji Beichen's voice revealed firmness and determination. He knew that this battle would not be easy and would be a fierce duel.
The atmosphere on the stage was tense, and the casual cultivators in the audience were furious when they saw Jie Xie on stage.
Everyone shouted for Ji Beichen to deal with the Scorpions quickly: "Master Chen has dealt with the scum of the Huan Mie Sect earlier, so we can close the arena earlier and enjoy drinking and eating meat!"
When Ji Beichen heard the shouts of the monks below, he smiled slightly and responded calmly: "Everyone, please be patient. I will end this duel as soon as possible so that everyone can enjoy the joy of victory as soon as possible. There will be good wine after the ring." Good meat greeting everyone!”
Seeing Ji Beichen greeting everyone, Elder Jie Xie crossed his arms across his chest, looked at Ji Beichen with cold eyes and said: "A mere monk in the foundation building period, and he talks so brazenly that he wants to defend the ring, it is simply ridiculous. Your Cangzhou City Lord's Mansion is Isn’t there no one left?”
After the elder Jie Xie said this, without waiting for Ji Beichen's reply, he drew out his natal magic weapon with the fire attribute - the red double-edged sword and slashed at Ji Beichen. Ji Beichen quickly drew out the Cangxu Sword to resist, and the two of them immediately Fight in one place.
After several rounds of fierce battles, Elder Scorpion gradually realized that Ji Beichen's cultivation seemed to be more than just the foundation building stage. He was secretly surprised that Ji Beichen's strength exceeded his expectations.
At this time, Elder Scorpion concentrated the power of his palm and suddenly slapped Ji Beichen's face. This palm was fierce and extremely fast. Ji Beichen knew that he could not avoid it, so he quickly put away the Cangxu Sword and wanted to confront the elder Scorpion head-on with his palm.
There was just a "bang" sound, and after Ji Beichen received the palm from Elder Scorpion, he was still as steady as a mountain, and his steps were shining. His figure was like a bolt of lightning, swiftly and powerfully responding to Elder Scorpion's attack.
The palms of the two people were intertwined. Seeing that Ji Beichen was not tired, Elder Scorpion knew that his cultivation level should not only be at the foundation building stage, but also at the object expelling stage.
Elder Scorpion had no choice but to jump out of the circle, pause his attack, and cupped his hands towards Ji Beichen and said: "Very good, very good, it seems that you have broken through the foundation building stage the day before yesterday, but I don't know what level of cultivation Mr. Chen is at the object-expelling stage.
But if it is a realm that has just been broken through, the Dantian may be unstable. Can you withstand such a palm fight? "
Ji Beichen saw that Xie Xie had discovered his cultivation strength, so he no longer hid it. He stood the Cangxu Sword in front of his chest and said in a prepared tone: "I am Ji Beichen, a disciple of the Cangxu Sect, with a fifth-level cultivation of object expulsion, and I have come here to ask Elder Jie for advice!"
Ji Beichen's move of first saluting and then attacking made the monks in the audience boil with excitement. Ji Beichen no longer hid his cultivation and fought fiercely with the Scorpion.
Elder Scorpion has long heard about the uniqueness of Cangxu's swordsmanship and has always wanted to learn from it. However, Ji Beichen knew that although his swordsmanship was exquisite, he was currently based on the Yan Yue Sect's skills, so the Cangxu Sect's skills were less than half as powerful.
After Ji Beichen performed dozens of moves, he only felt that his aura was somewhat disordered. The shortcomings of his eagerness to break through the realm were, first, insufficient spiritual energy in his Dantian, and second, disordered mental techniques. Insufficient physical strength and spiritual energy can be avoided by using elixirs, but mental disorder can only be tolerated silently.
Mu Xiyao felt that Ji Beichen's breath was disordered, and thought that Ji Beichen might be eager to achieve success in his skills, and his mental skills did not complement each other. As a result, the battle lasted too long, and he could easily lose control of his heart.
Mu Xiyao wanted to help Ji Beichen at this time, but due to the two people's positions, she suddenly thought of a good way, and reached out to lift the cover of Jianxin Qin. After calming down, she began to play Jianxin Qin slowly. .
What she played was a piece of music used to control the stability of the mind. At first listen, there is nothing special about this piece of music, but it is of great benefit to people who have troubled breathing and disturbed mental state.
