the next day.
In the center of the Xie and Shi family’s mansions, there is a huge white jade square, which is usually heavily guarded by strong men from the Xie and Shi families.
This is where the stone-cutting ceremony is held.
Although many people in the Ancient City of Immortals are interested in the Stone-cutting Ceremony, not everyone can participate in it. Only those who are invited by the Jie family and the Shi family are eligible to enter.
Most of those who can enter here are powerful people from major sects and families, as well as some famous geniuses.
The Stone-cutting Ceremony is the pinnacle showdown between the Jie and Shi families in stone-cutting techniques. It also determines who will be the next ruler of the Ancient City of Immortals for ten thousand years. Naturally, everyone is extremely interested.
The morning light was just breaking, and the bright sunlight was shining down, dyeing the white jade square into pure gold.
Under the supervision of many powerful people from the Xie family and the Shi family, many people who had been invited had entered with their invitation letters.
There were also many powerful people from the ancient fairy city on the periphery. Although they did not have invitations, they also stretched their necks to watch.
This is a rare event in the ancient city of Shenxian, which should not be missed.
At the top of the White Jade Square, there are two white jade platforms floating in the void. There are dozens of platforms arranged in sequence downwards, from which one can have a clear view of the entire White Jade Square.
The two white jade platforms at the top are naturally the seats for the referees of this stone-cutting ceremony, Madam Fuyao and Immortal Lord Tianshu.
The two rows on the left and right are where the Xie and Shi family members sit.
Although those who came to watch the ceremony were able to enter the venue, they could only sit in the square and there were no seats for them.
When Ling Xiao and Jie Wushuang entered the White Jade Square, they saw that many people had already gathered there. Everyone had different expressions. They gathered in groups of three or five and talked a lot.
"The people from the Jie family have arrived!"
"Patriarch Jie is still as charming as ever!"
"The unparalleled fairy is extremely beautiful!"
"… "
When everyone saw the people from the Jie family entering, they all made way for them. At the same time, several figures with powerful auras, who were the patriarchs of major families and leaders of some sects, came to greet Jie Miesheng and Jie Wushuang.
Although Xie Wushuang looked indifferent, Xie Miesheng was extremely gentle. He had a smile on his face and kept responding to everyone with a laugh.
Ling Xiao and Jie Wushuang stood side by side. Behind Ling Xiao were the Immortal Lord Xuantian holding the Xuantian Sword and the Sky-Devouring Rat.
Behind Xie Wushuang were ten figures wearing black robes with calm expressions. They were all stone cutters of the Xie family. This time, they were carefully selected by Xie Wushuang to fight in the first literary battle for the Xie family.
"The person standing with Jie Wushuang is Lei Ling who helped Jie Wushuang win against Qianyuan Stone Workshop?"
Someone's eyes fell on Ling Xiao and asked curiously.
"Yes, it's him! This Lei Ling is not from a stone-cutting family, how could he have such a strong stone-cutting skill?"
"Lithotomy? Hey, he doesn't know anything about lithotomy. It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"
"That's right! The Inherited Jade Palace is so precious, and even a ten thousand Divine Jade Immortal Fetus is hard to come by, but he actually found it. This is just a coincidence!"
"Isn't Xie Wushuang planning to rely on Lei Ling to deal with the Shi family?"
"How can the Shi family be so easy to mess with? I think it will be very difficult for the Jie family to win the Jieshi Ceremony this time!"
"… "
Xie Wushuang seemed not to hear the discussions among the crowd and his expression was extremely calm.
Xie Wushuang took Ling Xiao up into the air, stepped onto the stone platform above the void and sat down.
Soon, people from the Shi family also arrived!
Shi Pojun, the patriarch of the Shi family, is a very burly middle-aged man with long fiery red hair. He is like a fire lion and his whole body is filled with unparalleled power.
In addition to Shi Pojun, there are Shi Wuji, Shi Qingyi, Shi Tianying, and Ren Xiaoyao, the holy son of Yaoguang Immortal Sect.
Behind Shi Wuji, there were also ten stone cutters in red robes, each with an extremely cold expression.
The arrival of the Shi family also pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Everyone's eyes showed an expression of great expectation. The Shi family was the controller of the ancient fairy city that had existed for ten thousand years. Moreover, with the Shi family around, the Jie family had become increasingly weaker over the years, while the Shi family had become increasingly stronger.
In this stone-cutting ceremony, the Shi family is the real favorite to win.
"Long time no see, Brother Miesheng is still as charming as ever, and his cultivation has become even more advanced!"
Shi Pojun laughed.
"Brother Pojun's strength is becoming more and more unfathomable! But Brother Pojun, I still have something to say. I hope the Shi family will not choose the wrong path, otherwise they will probably end up in eternal damnation!"
Jie Miesheng smiled faintly, his expression extremely calm.
"Brother Miesheng, don't worry about this! Brother Miesheng, you should take good care of the Jie family. This time in the Jieshi Ceremony, our Shi family will definitely win!"
Shi Pojun's expression darkened, but then he returned to normal and smiled calmly.
"Really? I have great confidence in my Jie family!"
Qin Mie Sheng smiled slightly.
Before the Stone-cutting Ceremony began, the patriarchs of the Xie and Shi families had already begun to confront each other. When the people of the Xie and Shi families looked at each other, sparks also flew in their eyes, revealing an extremely strong desire to fight.
Everyone's expressions were extremely strange. It seemed that there would be something interesting to watch today!
"Brother, it seems that bitch Jie Wushuang is still betting on Lei Ling, hoping that he can turn the tables for her!"
Shi Tianying glanced at Ling Xiao and sneered.
"The Stone-cutting Ceremony is not something he can influence. My Shi family will surely win!"
Shi Wuji said lightly.
"Brother, after the Stone-cutting Ceremony, I want that Lei Ling dead!"
Shi Tianying said with cold eyes.
Ling Xiao had humiliated him several times, which made him feel a strong desire to kill.
"Don't worry, no one can save him! Not even Madam Fuyao!"
Shi Wuji nodded.
Boom!
At this moment, fairy light bloomed in the void, thunder was dazzling, and two figures with unparalleled powerful aura came out of nowhere and landed directly on the two stone platforms above.
One was a gorgeous woman in her thirties, tall and hot. Her every frown and smile revealed all kinds of charm, emitting a mature and seductive aura. Her beautiful face bloomed with a smile that made the world pale in comparison, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
The wife of the leader of the Ancient God Cult, Fuyao!
The other one was an old man with white hair and beard. He held a whisk in his hand and wore a Taoist robe with patterns of the sun, moon and stars embroidered on it. His body was shrouded in bright starlight and his eyes were mature and wise.
Yaoguang Immortal Sect, Tianshu Immortal Lord!
These two were the host and referee of this stone-cutting ceremony. They looked at each other, and there seemed to be a light flashing in their eyes. Finally, they smiled at the same time and took their seats.
The arrival of Madam Fuyao and Immortal Lord Tianshu also heralds the official start of the stone-cutting ceremony!
