Jiang Yun stood at the corner of the square, hiding among the crowd, trying not to be noticed. Because contestants were prohibited from changing their appearance to participate in the competition, there were experts who specially checked and he could not take the elixir to change his appearance.
After waiting for a moment, two figures flew into the field riding spiritual weapons. The one on the left was a middle-aged man. The man looked ordinary and not handsome. The old man who was half a step behind was dressed in the Qingwu Sword Sect's costume. It must be someone in power.
The disciples of the Qingwu Sword Sect and the members of the Patrol Law Enforcement Department who were responsible for maintaining order all around them saluted the two.
The old man took two steps forward slightly and said loudly, "Welcome everyone. I am Jin Yibo, the great elder of the Qingwu Sword Sect. Today, I will host the competition with Mr. Nalande, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Fengzheng City."
"Are all the ministers here?"
Some people around were surprised and said that in the ten major competition venues, ministers and deputy ministers usually take turns inspecting the competition process. Unexpectedly, Minister Nalan’s first stop was to Qingwu Jianzong.
"There are rumors that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has a good relationship with the Qingwu Sword Sect, and it is indeed true."
Seeing the discussions among the people below, Jin Yibo smiled proudly, his eyes swept over everyone, and after pausing for two breaths on Jiang Yun, his smile became even wider.
"Everyone must have been waiting for a long time, so now I would like to ask the minister to announce the start of the conference."
Nalande nodded and walked to the old man Jin Yibo. His voice spread in all directions, "Now I announce that the preliminary round of the Fengzheng Formation Inheritance Conference and the Qingwu Sword Sect venue competition have officially begun!"
"One hundred and seventy-six contestants please stand in the designated area."
One hundred and seventy-six circles have long been drawn on the square with special blood sand, representing each person's competition range. Jiang Yun quickly found his place and stood there quietly.
At this time, Naland said again
"The preliminary competition is an assessment of formation layout. The examiners for this assessment are me, the Great Elder of the Qingwu Sword Sect, Nangong Duo of the Nangong Family of Fengzheng Island, and Yu Tiangu, the Master of Jian Liuyun of Xujie Mountain on Fengzheng Island... A total of ten people will be assessed. personnel."
"You will receive three rounds of test questions in turn and arrange the formation according to the test questions. After each round of placement is successful, ten of us will give you a score. Each person will score ten points in each round, totaling one hundred points. After three rounds, the total score will be three 100%, ranking according to your performance. The top ten will enter the next round of assessment."
"Please also try your best to seize this opportunity to become famous."
Many people in the field took a long breath of nervousness. They all had reasons for taking part in the assessment, and they couldn't stay here!
Jin Yibo, the great elder of the Qingwu Sword Sect, presided over this assessment and he spoke loudly.
"The first question: flying formation."
"Please arrange your own flying formation. We will score according to the speed of formation, the quality of the formation and the overall completeness. Requirements: You must use spiritual energy to set up the formation on the spot. You can borrow blood essence and other demonic cultivation objects to set up the formation. , you can use the secret laws of 'Tao', and the assessment time is half a stick of incense."
Flying formation?
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard the title. If it was a flying formation, his own flying Phoenix would probably have few opponents, right?
The people around him who heard clearly immediately began to release their spiritual energy to set up the formation. Jiang Yun did not dare to hesitate. Who cares, let’s set up the formation first!
The Taoist will pulls the elements of heaven and earth, the water of life is injected into the essence and blood of the flying bird as the source, the fire of life spreads all over the formation to establish the outline, and the thunder of life is injected into the energy.
Watching Jiang Yun slowly start sketching, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Jin Yibo's mouth.
"What's going on? That old man smiled at me? He must have recognized me!" Jiang Yun was startled and became nervous inexplicably. In the territory of the Qingwu Sword Sect, if an old monster in the infant spirit stage wanted to mess with him, There is really no guarantee that he will be safe and sound. He would not think that the other person smiled at him because he liked him.
But he couldn't stop arranging the formation in his hand, so half of the formation was arranged.
Seeing nothing strange for a long time, he simply ignored it. The soldiers came to block the water and cover the ground. Many people around him had arranged about a third of them. His speed was still ahead.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!
A powerful sword intent under his feet locked onto him. This sword intent was so sharp that it shook his mind as soon as it appeared. The flying formation in front of him was split in half by the sword intent!
The sword intent went away as quickly as it came, and quickly dissipated without a trace.
"what happened?"
The ten examiners present all felt the sharp sword intent and looked at it curiously. When they discovered that the sword intent was only aimed at Jiang Yun alone, causing his flying formation to be cut off, they all frowned and looked at Jin Yibo silently.
When everyone comes to be an examiner, they naturally hope to be fair and impartial. If Qingwu Jianzong deliberately plays tricks, it will ruin everyone's reputation.
"Jiang Yun of Fu Cangmen, why did you suddenly withdraw the formation?" Nalande asked, pretending to stand up after seeing the reactions of everyone present.
"Fu Cangmen?"
The onlookers were all surprised, and many people who knew Fu Cangmen looked over curiously.
One of the top ten sects in the past, the one that Bai Zeyuan stepped on to enter, its reputation is still known to many people.
"I heard that Fu Cangmen was once famous, but after being squeezed out of the top ten sects by Bai Zeyuan, it plummeted and even the sect was disbanded. The leader even traveled around the world. How could someone from Fucang Clan show up? Could it be that? A departed sect leader taught his disciples and came back to seek revenge on Bai Zeyuan?"
"It's very possible. After all, the remaining disciples of the Baifu Cangmen have already passed their age, and there can't be such outstanding people."
"Bai Zeyuan knows that the people from Fu Cangmen are back, so I'm afraid he will be suppressed. It's a good show, haha."
"It's a good show. Now that the formations are all gone, this first round must have been sent. How is it possible to squeeze into the top ten from more than 170 golden elixirs with ten points missing?"
"No way, absolutely impossible."
There was a cold sweat on Jiang Yun's back in the field. The sword intent just now was too evil, and a feeling of death enveloped him. Let alone setting up a formation, he was already very courageous if he didn't just run away!
"Reporting to the Minister. I don't know why, but a sharp sword intention suddenly appeared under my feet. This sword intention was so strong that I couldn't move. My formation was also cut off by this sword intention. However, this sword intention only appeared under my feet. , it didn’t affect other people at all, but I’m still wondering, how come this sword intention landed at my feet so coincidentally? I’d like the examiners to give me an explanation.”
"Elder Jin, what's going on?" Naland asked pretendingly.
"Reporting to the minister, we don't know the origin of this sword intention. We can have strict protective measures at the venue. It is impossible for such a problem to occur." The elder Jin Yibo thought about it and said back, "Could it be this little brother? There is a problem with the method, so you deliberately create a sword intention, and you want to retake the assessment with this trick?"
Jiang Yun opened his eyes wide and looked livid. What was supposed to come came. Qingwu Jianzong could clearly know the progress and location of himself and Qingfang at that time. It was obvious that he had been watching him all the time, and then he was introduced to the mortals, so that he could hide.
But Fengzheng City is their home court after all, and I have been out there many times in the past two years, so maybe I was targeted at some point.
In this way, there was probably a shady reason why he was assigned to the Qingwu Sword Sect.
Sure enough, the next second, Nalande, who was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said, "The venue was inspected by the Qingwu Sword Sect and the Xuntian Supervisor. The safety issue must be guaranteed. This little brother Jiang Yun may be I was confused for a moment, directed and acted this drama myself, I advise you to stay grounded and re-arrange your formation as soon as possible."
What the hell!
Jiang Yun looked at Nalander on the stage in disbelief. Almost two-thirds of the formations around him had been arranged. Do you want me to start the formation again?
"This sword intention was not created by me, maybe it was from the Qingwu Sword Sect..."
Before he could finish his words, Naland interrupted, "You are trying to cheat and you still dare to quibble? As this is your first offender, I will give you one last chance. If you fail to arrange the formation when the time is up, you will get zero points." .”
This sound was transmitted using spiritual energy, and it echoed throughout the valley. Many onlookers looked at the venue curiously.
"A disciple of Fu Cangmen still cheats? Hahaha, you really don't want to lose face just to win."
"A golden elixir actually dares to cheat in front of Yingling Qi, are you crazy?"
The crowd was all talking, and they were all relieved. It turned out that the reason why the formation disappeared was because they cheated! Fortunately, he was caught by the Xuntian Supervisor, and the Xuntian Supervisor was indeed fair and impartial!
Jiang Yun's face was ashen. He wanted to question loudly, but he knew that the two people would not give him a chance.
Among the surrounding formations, there may be formations that can isolate your own voice. No matter how loud you shout, it will not help. Instead, it will make the other party find an excuse, and they may directly kick you out of this exam.
Don't talk about him in this scene, even if some of the other examiners noticed something was wrong and questioned, "Isn't the time unfair to him?"
At this time, the half stick of incense had already burned three-quarters of the time, which was almost twice as long as the others.
"It's all your own fault," Nalander replied calmly.
The man opened his mouth, but after all, he stopped speaking for Jiang Yun.
Nalande and Jin Yibo looked at each other. As the organizers, they were in control of the whole place. They could do whatever they wanted. Even if the other examiners had some guesses, they would not fight for a Jindan boy. Break your own skin.
Master Xujie Mountain Sword Liuyun stared at Jiang Yun curiously, as if he wanted to see how he would handle this matter.
"what to do?"
Cold sweat almost broke out on Jiang Yun's forehead. This was his first encounter with this kind of thing. He had been delayed for so long and it was too late. Is he going to fail in his first game? If you can't get points in this game, you may not be able to get into the top ten even if you get perfect scores in the next two games.
"Don't panic."
A voice sounded in my mind, it was Master Fengzheng!
"Hold Yuan Shouyi, and the energy sinks into the Dantian. With the center of the formation as the source, the water, fire, and thunder of life are unleashed, and the soul is used as a guide."
Jiang Yun immediately followed the instructions and performed his exercises. The elements of heaven and earth and spiritual energy gathered around his arms again, and the power of his soul burst out, trying his best to maintain the formation.
"Inject a drop of the blood baby's blood into the formation."
"The blood of the blood baby?" Jiang Yun asked in surprise. He still had one last chance to use the blood of Youfengque. He originally planned to use it, but the master actually asked him to use the blood of the blood baby?
"Yes, your blood infant was a master of blood during his lifetime. Although his strength is at the Nascent Soul stage, his strength is essentially a higher level of blood. If You Fengque's blood is the blood of dead objects, Then the Blood Infant's blood is itself full of vitality, and its blood can fit your way, and one drop is enough to make your formation more effective with half the effort."
"And his blood is not only extremely powerful in vitality, but also has extraordinary plasticity. Use his blood to shape anything you want, even... a dragon!"
Several people in the distance watched Jiang Yun actually start to set up a formation, and they all watched curiously.
"What is he doing?" People on both sides of the mountain looked at Jiang Yun and started to gather spiritual energy again, and they all sneered, "Maybe he wants to pretend that he is working hard. After all, as the only member of the Fu Cang Sect, he was caught cheating. , I’m afraid of being embarrassed when I go back.”
"Oh, I thought I was coming back for revenge, but it turned out to be a little jerk."
Qingfang, who was mixed in the crowd, was wearing a bamboo hat and covering her up very tightly. She clenched her fists when she heard this. Anyone who is a monk in the innate realm can see something fishy. It seems that he was the one who implicated Jiang Yun. If it weren't for him, Qingwu Sword Sect would not target him. Damn Qingwu Sword Sect!
"It's true that one generation is worse than the other."
An old man who was drinking burped and looked at the core area of Qingwu Sword Sect with recalling and complicated eyes.
"Stop making noise, look!"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly attracted the attention of everyone who was talking about it.
I saw red lines appearing between Jiang Yun's hands in the field. Fire and thunder flashed in the red lines, and they quickly gathered into formations in front of him. The formations were assembled at an extremely fast speed, almost in a few breaths. The outline of the formation is formed.
"What a fast formation speed!"
Several examiners in the stands were investigating, and they all looked surprised when they discovered that Jiang Yun's formation was not only fast, but also tenacious and very stable.
A trace of solemnity appeared on Jin Yibo's originally smiling face.
He was a little inexplicably irritable, as if Jiang Yun could really stir up something this time. He wanted to interrupt Jiang Yun again, but the other eight examiners were now focused on that kid and couldn't do anything again.
There is still the last nine-tenth of the time, so let’s see what the kid can come up with.
The remaining incense burned out in an instant, and the blood color on the blood formation in front of Jiang Yun became darker and darker. Compared with the previous Youfengque formation, this formation gave people a feeling of life, not the life simulated by the formation. But the formation itself seems to have life.
Very mysterious.
"Time's up!" As Jin Yibo shouted, everyone present stopped setting up their formations. Anyone who dared to move again would be disqualified.
Jin Yibo glanced at Jiang Yun and snorted softly. "Starting from number one, activate the formation."
A young man standing at the front activated the formation. His flying formation was a beautiful lark, pure and holy.
"Four points," Nalander said, "It's worth it but it's worth it. We don't care about appearances."
"Three points." Jin Yibo also didn't give high marks. They are all infant spirit powerhouses. They can easily detect the strength of this formation by scanning their souls. Only those who look good will not get high marks. Only those who are practical can get high marks. It’s the royal way!
"Five points."
"..."
The ten examiners finished scoring one after another, and there were special inspectors recording the scores. The scores were all public and could be heard by the people in the two surrounding mountains, so there was no way to cheat.
"Next person."
The second formation master's flying formation was somewhat incompetent, it was just the simplest Firebird formation. The strange thing was that this person's score was actually higher than the previous one.
"Although it is a low-level Firebird Formation, its defense and strength are much better than him, five points." Naland said impartially.
"Five points." Jin Yibo followed.
"..."
Nearly a hundred people passed by one after another, and finally it was Jiang Yun's turn at No. 130.
"Fu Cangmen Jiang Yun, activate your formation and we will score you." Jin Yibo said expressionlessly.
"Before activating the formation, I have something to say." Jiang Yun said loudly, "The sword intention that suddenly appeared under my feet was not my fault. The sword intention interfered with my formation and even destroyed my formation."
He stared at Nalande with stern eyes and said firmly.
"I don't know why this situation happened, but I still ask the examiners to enforce the law fairly and investigate the truth of the matter. Don't talk nonsense and damage the reputation of the Inspector of Justice in the northwest!"
