"What do you mean? Why can't I understand?" Cheng Yan looked at His Highness Qi in shock.
His Highness Qi laughed and flicked her head: "He has relied on you for a long time. You can't get rid of this child."
Cheng Yan shook his head repeatedly: "They parents can abandon their sons. I am a stranger, why can't I-"
Before he finished speaking, he met a pair of eyes that were full of tears and complaints.
Ari's watery eyes were filled with water mist, and no one could bear to say any more after looking at it.
Cheng Yan is not a hard-hearted person, but he doesn't want to compromise on this: "Let's talk about the future later. Now you follow me first. When I find your father, I will definitely give you back!"
Cheng Yan didn't know how many times she had said this, and she even joked about it.
"It's just that I have to participate in the Demon Control Competition recently, but I can't take care of Ari. His Highness Qi." Cheng Yuan looked at His Highness Qi fawningly.
His Highness Qi was unmoved: "My Highness is very busy."
"I know Your Highness is busy, but I can rest assured when he is by your side. Only you can protect Ari and prevent him from any harm." Cheng Yan winked at His Highness Qi: "Just do it and help us, for our sake Is it for the sake of our contractual partners?”
Ari probably knew that now was the time to decide where to go, so he blinked pitifully at His Highness Qi.
One big and one small, both of them have four pairs of eyes full of expectation.
His Highness Qi suddenly felt a headache. He stroked his forehead and said, "During your competition, I will take care of you. The rest of the time, you can handle it by yourself."
"Thank you, Your Highness Qi! Your Highness, you are indeed the most righteous young master in the demon world."
Cheng Yuan reached out and gave little Ari a round of applause, and the two of them laughed happily.
…
In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.
Countless brilliance bloomed in an open space to the east of Suzaku City, and a huge canopy hung in the sky, with countless people's names scrolling on it.
Countless demon masters gathered in the open space, looking eagerly at the sky above.
Soon, the handsome face of a high-level demon master appeared in the sky.
"Mr. Zhu is the city lord of Zhuque City. This city is deeply honored to be able to hold the preliminary selection of the Honghu List Demon Control Competition in Zhuque City. In the next few years, we hope that all the contestants will show their talents and win the first place." 1. Applaud me for winning glory in the West Pole in the future!"
"good!"
"well!"
The demon masters cheered.
For a moment, the face of another old man flashed across the sky. He was the chief deacon of the Demon Yutang in Suzaku City.
The old man gave a weak cough and said: "Everyone, this deacon announces that this Honghu List Demon Control Competition will now begin! The competition rules and the first round of competition will start later, everyone please prepare. I would like to remind you, if you miss a quarter of an hour, It will be deemed as giving up this round of competition, and the other party will win directly. Therefore, everyone needs to treat it with caution. I wish you all get what you want!"
The old man's figure disappeared, and countless names scrolled on the sky again.
At the same time, the demon control orders of all the demon masters present lit up.
Cheng Yuan opened it and saw three major modules appearing on the Demon Control Order. One was the current real-time ranking of the Honghu List. The second is the competition rules, and the third is the competition arrangement.
These three major modules also appeared on the sky screen at the same time. The competition rules remained unchanged, and the lists on the left and right sides changed in a scrolling manner.
"This rule means there are no rules." Yan Chu said.
Cheng Yan nodded: "Yes, there are no restrictions on techniques, methods, types and numbers of monsters, and spiritual weapons. Each can defeat the other party based on their own abilities."
"This is too unfair." Ji Qiuyu shook his head and said: "If I have a high-level contract demon, then wouldn't I be sure to win this competition?"
Ting Lan, who accompanied them here, said: "High-level contract demons are also a manifestation of strength. No matter what method you use, it is all your ability. The ranking on the demon control list is more real."
Yanchu nodded: "Being in a noble family, you have more spiritual resources. The Honghu Ranking compares the overall strength, not the individual abilities of a demon master."
Hearing this, Cheng Yan touched her nose. She felt a little guilty because she had too many hangups on her body now.
At this time, the voice of a senior Jindan Demon Master came from afar.
"This is just the preliminary round. Even if you win the competition, it is just the beginning. When we get to Central Continent, there will be many talented demon control masters. It is still unclear whether the spiritual objects in your hands can help you fight to the end.
And those demon masters who don't even have anything to rely on don't have to be discouraged. There are many demon masters who have come back against the wind. As long as they are strong, everything else is the icing on the cake. "
"Senior is right!" everyone shouted.
After hearing this, she nodded. That's right, if you don't know how to use the magical creature flexibly, it will still be "dead" when you meet a master.
…
The first round of the preliminary test is a five-person battle.
That is to say, if you gather five people, you can form a team, fill in the team name and information on the demon control order, and the five people paste the demon control order together to form a team demon control token, which means the team is successfully formed.
Teams that successfully form a team will go into battle under the immediate selection of Yuyao Tianmu.
The rules are simple.
Not enough candidates have been gathered yet.
Cheng Yuan, Ji Qiuyu, Yan Chu, and Wu Zhan are still one person short.
They had actually been sizing up the demon masters around them early in the morning, but most of the demon masters already had candidates.
"How about we go to the sect to find someone?" Yanchu pointed at the team of Xianqicheng disciples not far away.
"That's fine." Cheng Yan agreed.
But they didn't expect that they had just taken two steps when one of them walked over.
"Fairies, we meet again." Zhu Zhiren approached, waving his folding umbrella.
His appearance attracted the attention of many people, and many female cultivators gathered around him.
"Borrow it, borrow it!"
"Hey, someone seems to be calling me over there."
"Aunt Lan, I'm dizzy, help me over quickly." Cheng Yuan immediately leaned on Ting Lan's shoulder, and the latter also understood and led her around Zhu Zhiren in front of her.
Soon enough, several people found excuses and successfully broke through before the crowd gathered around them.
Zhu Zhiren was left standing there blankly fanning his folding fan.
"Young City Master, Young City Master, why are you here?"
"Young City Master promised me before that he would come to see me compete. I knew that Young City Master would come."
Cheng Yan looked back and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise we would have made so many enemies out of thin air, and our Suzaku City would have suffered a big loss."
Ji Qiuyu and others were a little scared. After getting along for a long time, they all had a tacit understanding and knew each other's intentions with just one look.
When they arrived in front of everyone in Xianqi City, they found that there were not many single sect members left.
After scanning around, I found that only Jiang Tu and the others were the most familiar.
Ji Qiuyu pointed at Jiang Tu who was squatting in the corner: "How about him?"
"Jiang Tu is a timid guy. I'm afraid he'll want to run away before he even gets on the court." Yan Chu hesitated.
Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said: "Normally we should find a strong person, but this is just a preliminary test. As long as our team members can squeeze into the top three thousand, we can enter the next round, and then we will fight on our own. Xi There are only more than 25,000 people participating in the preliminary test, which means that as long as we win against five teams, we will most likely advance to the next round."
