After two lifetimes, Jun Xiaomo's impression of Dai Yue had faded. If Dai Yue hadn't picked on her for Qin Lingyu two years ago, she would have almost forgotten the existence of this person.
At that time, her cultivation level had just dropped to the first level of Qi training, and Dai Yue followed her mother to the Xuyang Sect as a guest and met Jun Xiaomo.
Dai Yue liked Qin Lingyu, so naturally she disliked Jun Xiaomo, who was engaged to Qin Lingyu, and finally beat Jun Xiaomo seriously. Yu Zhuolian, the seventh elder of the Xuyang Sect, is a friend of Dai Yue's mother Qiu Laifeng. After some mediation, Jun Xiaomo and Dai Yue made a bet - in this intermediate sect qualifying competition, they competed. In the last game, whoever wins will unconditionally agree to a request from the other person.
Jun Xiaomo narrowed her eyes. Because the contact time was too short, she could not judge Dai Yue's Qi training level, but it should not be lower than the eighth level.
It seemed that it would be a battle that was not easy to win. Jun Xiaomo smiled bitterly in his heart. However, now that she has made a bet, she will not give up easily. "Defeat before fighting" has never been in line with the principles of Lintian Peak disciples.
But now, what she wants to find out even more is why Rong Ruihan came here with the people from the Hengyue Sect. Shouldn't he be practicing with Mr. Chi in Xiaotuanzi's clan? If Rong Ruihan and Dai Yue had a good relationship, then she would be in a bit of trouble.
Jun Xiaomo regarded Rong Ruihan as a close friend and naturally did not want to put him in a dilemma because of a bet.
Forget it, after today's game, she should ask Brother Rong, Jun Xiaomo thought silently.
Jun Xiaomo had been immersed in his own thoughts, so he didn't notice that since Rong Ruihan sat down at Heng Yuezong, his eyes had been falling on her, full of complicated emotions.
The intermediate sect qualifying competition is a major event held every five years in the world of cultivation. On this day, not only the intermediate sects of all sizes in the world of cultivation will gather together to compete or watch, but many high-level sects will also send their elders to compete. Come and watch the battle.
The reason why the elders of these high-level sects are interested in the ranking competition of the intermediate sects is simply to find some good prospects and book them in advance to avoid being snatched away by other sects.
Qin Lingyu and Ye Xiuwen achieved very impressive results in the last intermediate sect qualifying competition, so one of them was booked by the elder of Xuanji Sect, and the other one was booked by the elder of Hanjian Sect. .
With a strong desire to become the designated disciples of high-level sects, the contestants of these intermediate sects will work hard to show their strength on this competition stage. It is no wonder that every year, some contestants are seriously injured. ,even death.
Whether it is serious injury or death, everything is allowed on the fighting stage, and this has also become a place where some people can get rid of their competitors openly.
These people all have the mentality of "getting rid of one by one", and they are completely unprepared to show mercy when they start to attack.
"Senior Sister Xiaomo, the competition time is coming soon, why haven't Master and the others come back yet?" Wei Gaolang sneaked to Jun Xiaomo's side, holding his chin, looking at the judges' table in the distance and muttering.
Because Wei Gaolang was young and had an out-of-touch temperament, he had nothing to talk about with the other senior brothers at Lintian Peak, so he became attached to Jun Xiaomo, a young senior sister who was two years older than him.
Jun Xiaomo also frowned worriedly and looked towards the judges' table.
Just now, my father Jun Linxuan and several elders went to the judges' table to submit the entry list. Logically speaking, this is a very simple matter and should be completed soon. Why haven't they come back until now
There were many people surrounding the judges' table, and for a while, Jun Xiaomo still couldn't find Jun Linxuan.
"Oops! Master seems to have had a quarrel with someone else!" Wei Gaolang exclaimed.
Jun Xiaomo also saw it. She stood up suddenly and wanted to run over to see what was going on, but was stopped by Liu Qingmei.
"Mom?" Jun Xiaomo didn't understand why Liu Qingmei stopped her.
"I'll go over and take a look, Momo, you stay here."
"But, mother..."
"During the competition, contestants are not allowed to have conflicts outside the competition arena, otherwise they will be disqualified. Have you forgotten?" Liu Qingmei said sternly. Seeing Jun Xiaomo bite her lower lip, she stepped back. , he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and ran towards the judges' seat.
"Teacher...Sister, do you want to participate in the competition?" Wei Gaolang was stunned. He felt that he had learned a piece of incredible news from his wife.
Jun Xiaomo raised his eyebrows: "What, can't you?"
"But... but... Senior sister, you are only at the fifth level of Qi training..." Wei Gaolang felt that these words seemed to be looking down on Jun Xiaomo, so he couldn't help but speak softer and softer, and even shrank his neck.
Jun Xiaomo felt that this baby-faced junior brother could easily make people want to "bully" him, so he stretched out his hand, pinched his face, and said, "Then tell me, your cultivation level is high." Or is it that Senior Sister’s cultivation is higher?”
"I'm one level higher than you, senior sister." Wei Gaolang made a "one" gesture.
Jun Xiaomo smiled and said slowly: "But junior brother, you seem to lose to me every time we compete..."
Wei Gaolang: "..." It seems like... It's really like that...
Thinking about the fact that Wei Gaolang's strength was at the bottom of the entire Lintian Peak was really heartbreaking. But who blames him for being the laziest and most playful? He only has himself to blame.
On the other side, the quarrel between Jun Linxuan and the elders of Xuyang Sect was further escalating, and people from other sects gathered around to watch the show.
"The entry list in your hands is not the one we discussed before, why!" Jun Linxuan asked angrily, the pressure on him involuntarily released.
But the elders standing in front of him are not low in strength and will not be affected by his coercion.
The second elder raised his eyelids and replied slowly: "After our discussion yesterday, we felt that the previous list was not good enough, so we decided to change it temporarily. I feel that the current list is more reasonable."
"Are your so-called 'not good enough' and 'changes' just to take away our Lintian Peak disciples' participation quota?!" Jun Linxuan suppressed his deep fighting spirit, the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line, and the anger in his eyes was There is substance.
"The quota is not fixed. No one stipulates that Lintian Peak must have so many disciples competing. We can naturally make more appropriate adjustments." The second elder replied calmly, "Although, in the past Lintian Peak, There are many disciples from Feng participating in the competition, but this time I think we should give more opportunities to other Feng’s disciples.”
"The strength of the disciples of Lintian Peak is there for all of you to see." Jun Linxuan said coldly, "It's not that we, the disciples of Lintian Peak, have squeezed out the qualifications of other disciples from the other peaks, but that they are ranked from the highest to the lowest according to their strength. If you rank low, this is the result. If you blame us, the people from Lintian Peak, for taking away the quota, you might as well ask yourself why your disciples are so weak!"
"Jun Linxuan you!" The peak masters of other peaks of Xuyang Sect were also present, and they couldn't help but be angered by Jun Linxuan's words.
"Oh, if we are ranking from high to low in terms of strength, why is your daughter Junlinxuan also on the list of contestants? Can I say that you are acting for personal gain, huh?" Leng, the master of Danding Peak, Chi said, looking at Jun Linxuan with a very unkind look.
"Whether I am showing favoritism or not, you will know when Xiaomo plays." Jun Linxuan replied coldly.
"Hmph, of course we know it. But, swords and swords have no eyes in the fighting arena. Don't go up there with your name and come down without your life!" the peak master of Danding Peak sneered unhesitatingly.
"Bang!" A crisp slap sounded, and the face of the Lord of Danding Peak was knocked to the side.
"You!!!" The peak master of Danding Peak looked at the visitor angrily, but met a pair of eyes that were even more angry than him -
"Yu Zhiyong, I think you should wash your mouth properly. After all, my daughter is your nephew. You actually cursed her like this. Are you still a human being?" Liu Qingmei asked sternly and angrily, as if she was a pill. As long as Yu Zhiyong, the leader of Dingfeng Peak, says a wrong word, she will pounce on him and fight for his life.
"Okay, that's enough!" The great elder of Xuyang Sect finally spoke, "You all should stop for a moment. Do you still want more people to see our Xuyang Sect's jokes? Linxuan, we have temporarily changed the entry list. And I don’t know, it’s really inappropriate to say anything to you. But the matter has reached this point, and I think there is no point in arguing anymore. How about we take a step back and let everyone compete smoothly, and wait until we get back to talk about anything?”
On the surface, the Great Elder seemed to be acting as a peacemaker, but in fact, he seemed to be secretly accusing Jun Linxuan and his wife of making a big fuss regardless of the occasion, making other sects laugh.
In fact, Jun Linxuan did not "make a big noise". He had always suppressed his voice and anger, but the great elder wanted to put all the blame on him.
"You have said all the good and bad things, what else can we say?" Liu Qingmei said coldly, holding her husband's arm, "Linxuan, let's go, the children are still waiting for our reply. .”
After Jun Linxuan was silent for a moment, he glanced at the elders and peak masters of the Xuyang Sect one last time, then turned around and left in large strides.
"Hey, do you think you are very powerful just because you are in the middle stage of becoming a god? With such a bad temper, you may die one day without knowing why." Yu Zhiyong, the master of Danding Peak, said coldly in a low voice.
The great elder heard it, but did not refute him.
"Let's go." After the great elder submitted the list of contestants in his hand to the judges' table, he led the elders and peak masters of the Xuyang Sect and returned to the seats of the Xuyang Sect.
Jun Linxuan and Liu Qingmei returned to the seat first. They jointly informed the disciples of Lintian Peak about the incident. Jun Linxuan also said "I'm sorry" seriously.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with a master apologizing to his disciples. In his opinion, his failure as a master to fight for their rights was a dereliction of duty as a master.
"Master, you don't need to apologize to us. It's the elders who are so abominable!" Wei Gaolang said angrily.
"That's right! Why should we give up our places? We are stronger than them!" Another disciple from Lintian Peak couldn't help but echoed.
In fact, no disciples at Lintian Peak would blame their master, because they knew that with Jun Linxuan's protective temperament, if there was no way to change the outcome, Jun Linxuan would definitely fight to the death with those people.
Jun Linxuan patted Wei Gaolang's head and said, "Thank you."
Jun Linxuan is serious and reserved, and rarely shows his emotions clearly. Today he was very angry.
Wei Gaolang felt that he rarely had the experience of being patted on the head by the master. Now that he was patted on the head by the master, he felt as if he felt the love of his father. He was very happy and held his head in his hands in joy.
"Dad, who among the senior brothers has been replaced?" Jun Xiaomo felt that there was a smell of conspiracy in it, which made her have to guard against it.
"I didn't look at the details carefully. I was so angry that I threw the list on the ground." Jun Linxuan said with a frown. He recalled, "I only remember that we only have five people left in the junior group. , there are three people left in the intermediate group.”
"Three people in the intermediate group?!" Jun Xiaomo suddenly clenched his fists, "There are twelve disciples in Lintian Peak who have reached the qualifications of the intermediate group, and the strength of all the disciples is ranked in the top thirty of the sect. Yes, why did they wipe out the senior fellow apprentices all at once!"
The intermediate sect qualifying competition is divided into junior group, intermediate group and advanced group. Anyone with a Qi training level between 1 and 8 can participate in the junior group, and anyone with a Qi training level between 9 and 11 can participate in the intermediate group. In the advanced group, only those with Qi training level 12 or above are eligible to participate.
In order to control the number of participants, the quota for the junior and intermediate groups is limited to thirty people per sect, while the senior group has no limit on quotas due to the small number of participants.
After Ye Xiuwen disappeared, the overall strength of Lintian Peak's disciples showed a gap. No one in the advanced group was qualified to participate for the time being, but this did not mean that Lintian Peak was weak.
In fact, the disciples of Lintian Peak have always been very strong. In the same level ranking competition, almost all of them can enter the top five of the sect.
Therefore, in the previous list, the twelve disciples of Lintian Peak who were at level 9~11 of qi training were all included in the list of the intermediate group of Xuyang Sect. As a result, the elders of Xuyang Sect were listed on the list the day before their departure. Kicked out most of the Lintian Peak disciples.
In the intermediate group, there are only three disciples left at Lintian Peak.
"I think they are suppressing the development of Lintian Peak." Jun Xiaomo said coldly, "Senior Brother Ye gave them a sense of crisis in the last competition. They don't want a second person to appear in Lintian Peak." Ye Xiuwen, therefore gave up the opportunity to participate in the competition to other peak sects."
"What's the benefit of this? Aren't we representing the sect in the competition?" Wei Gaolang said with both anger and sadness.
Whenever he mentioned Senior Brother Ye, whose life and death were unknown, he felt very sad.
"The Xuyang Sect lost too many disciples during their last trip. It was impossible for them to get good results, so they simply took away the opportunity for Lintian Peak disciples to show their strength, so that they would not be able to achieve good results. People and their disciples are robbing high-level sects of entrance tickets."
Jun Xiaomo analyzed with cold eyes, his heart sinking again and again.
Unexpectedly, she had concealed her identity as a demon cultivator all her life, but the conflict between her parents and the sect was gradually aroused.
At this time, she has not grown up yet and does not have the ability to protect her parents and senior brothers.
What on earth should they do? Will they repeat the fate of their previous life
