Jiang Yuebai and his companions were like victorious warriors. As soon as they returned to the Tianyan Sect headquarters, they were warmly welcomed. The Yuanying Zhenjun, Jindan Zhenren and the disciples who were building their foundation who were watching the battle with them all had respect in their eyes.
The neighboring Zhuge family was the same, and they each sent people to congratulate and comfort each other.
The mountain was bustling with activity, except for the Xiong family and the Tianxing Sect, which were silent and bleak.
The Tianyan Sect has already become the center of attention and has entered the public eye of the upper realm with a perfect attitude. It has even been directly compared with the top ten forces today.
The reputation of being the dark horse of this Qingyun Club has been confirmed. The Xiong family and the Tianxing Sect have realized that from now on, no matter what the situation is in the ring battle, the Tianyan Sect is no longer an unknown entity, nor a force that they can suppress.
Thinking of this, the Xiong family and the Tianxing Sect discussed it together and shamelessly sent people to congratulate them. They also gave them a lot of precious elixirs that could speed up the recovery of Nascent Soul cultivators.
After the excitement, everyone was very tired and needed some quiet time to recuperate. Li Jiuchuan instructed Qi Ming to have those watching the battle vacate their tents and try to ensure that everyone had a room so they could rest and recuperate.
Later, when the Jindan-stage disciples came back, they received the same treatment.
As for the Spirit Transformation Stage, there was only an arena battle. The Tianyan Sect won one and lost one, and the fight is still going on.
Jiang Yuebai returned to the tent assigned to her and continued to eat the spirit stones given by Xie Jingshan, preparing to go into seclusion.
Ten days is a bit short, but I still have to get myself close to my peak condition, as most of the enemies on the promotion list are strong.
Especially the leaders of the top ten forces, such as Pei Shengyue of the Jinlan Sect, Shi Yuming of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect, and Xie Jingshan representing the Zhenwu Immortal Sect must also be counted in. The progress of this kid in recent times has made Jiang Yuebai itchy.
Then there is Ye Tianlang from the Red Sun Sect and the Wu family, a family of weapons. The two twin children in their family are said to be invincible at the same level when separated, and to be able to kill people indiscriminately when together.
The rumors were a bit exaggerated, but Jiang Yuebai had noticed them during the previous trials.
The axe is nice, but it’s a pity that I can’t snatch it and give it to Bai Jiuyou.
Jiang Yuebai was quite excited when he thought about Bai Jiuyou killing people with an axe in each hand.
Behind them are Zhao Benlei from Luofu Sword Sect, Feng Zhuxin who is in charge of the Feng family, Zuo Qiuhe who plays the guqin in Beiji Palace, and Xing Tuozi from Ruyi Sect, who Jiang Yuebai dislikes.
These are all cultivators from the late Nascent Soul stage to the peak stage, and they are also the strongest in the Nascent Soul stage among the ten major forces.
As for Jiang Ling'er of the Jiang family, she was poisoned. Jiang Yuebai just stood still with his mouth open and let Jiang Ling'er pour the poison into her mouth. It was fine. Cross it out!
While Jiang Yuebai was meditating to recover, he used his distraction to find out the information about these people, especially the one given by Xie Jingshan, and reviewed and analyzed it again to formulate tactics.
In the midst of her busy schedule, Jiang Yuebai always felt as if she had overlooked something, but the hunger left her no time to think.

In the Tianyan Sect’s headquarters.
Tang Weimian had been waiting for Shi Xiaowu and his men to return to the base. After greeting them, he invited the exhausted Shi Xiaowu to his tent and took out the recalculated formation diagram and formula.
"I'm so sorry, Junior Brother Xiaowu. I know you're very tired, but this matter is also very important to me. Please take a look at this formula and see if I calculated it wrong."
There was still some blood stain on Shi Xiaowu's face that had not been wiped off. He took the paper handed to him by Tang Weiman and sat at the table to check it carefully.
Tang Weimian said, "This is the formula for the Demon Detection Formation. I verified it according to the method you and True Lord Lingjun discovered, but the formula does not hold true, which means there is something wrong with the Demon Detection Formation."
"But everything before was indeed a test, and the demons did not invade, which means there is nothing wrong with the demon-appraising array. That means I calculated it wrong. But I calculated it three more times, and none of them worked. Really, my mind is so confused."
Shi Xiaowu raised his head and looked at Tang Weimian, "Is there a problem with the Demon Appraisal Formation? Does it have anything to do with whether it is a trial or not?"
Tang Weimian was stunned, his eyes widened and a chill rushed to his head.
"So what you mean is... there is really something wrong with the Demon Detection Formation... and there is really a possibility that the demons will... invade?"
Shi Xiaowu didn't hear clearly what Tang Weimian said and pointed to a part of the equation on the paper.
"You're making a mistake from this step on."
Shi Xiaowu took out his abacus, paper and pen, and helped Tang Weiman check the calculation again.
"From the math, this formation is extremely complex. The different arrangements of the nine runes here and the eight runes here should be... this number. So if you're wrong here, then everything else is wrong. Let me recalculate it for you."
Tang Weimian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Shi Xiaowu said. It was good that she had calculated wrong, otherwise something serious would have happened.
Tang Weimian sat down and watched Shi Xiaowu carefully verify the calculations. As a result, the more Shi Xiaowu calculated, the more numbers he got, which made Tang Weimian dizzy and he gradually began to have a headache.
Tang Weimian never expected that the complexity of this array would take more than thirty pages to calculate, and she only calculated one page...
The corner of Tang Weimian's mouth twitched. As expected, she was too naive to think that she could figure out the formation by herself.
The numbers are so difficult!
＊
In the tent next to Tang Weimian, Li Shenzhi and Shen Huaixi were arranged together.
The main reason was that the Tianyan Sect had no reputation before, so they were arranged to stay in a very small mountain stream. The space was tight, so they could only let the two of them rest together.
After counting the losses this time, Li Shenzhi beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while, then wrote down in the account book those who owed him money for their lives, with a smile on his face.
After packing up his things, Li Shenzhi looked up and saw Shen Huaixi sitting cross-legged on the cushion. He was not meditating, but was in a daze again.
This was the fifth time that Li Shenzhi saw Shen Huaixi thinking so intently.
"Eh? Eh? Are you thinking about sex? Are you so obsessed with it?"
"Um?"
Shen Huaixi came back to his senses, not having heard clearly what Li Shenzhi had said to tease him, and murmured, "I was wondering, if the demons really want to capture all the elites from the upper realm at the Qingyun Meeting, what is the success rate, and what should they prepare for."
Li Shenzhi held his chin up, "If you say so, Qingyun Club is indeed a good opportunity for the demons. If we can kill the elites of the entire upper world in one go, the human race will have at least one or two hundred years to recover."
Shen Huaixi nodded, "Indeed, so this opportunity is rare for the demons, but nothing has ever happened to the Qingyun Club in the past. I have also assumed various situations. With the Mahayana Immortal Lord here, basically everything can be said to be worry-free."
"That's right. If the demons are able to kill all the great immortals, the human race in the upper realm will be finished. At that time, no matter how hard we struggle, it will be useless."
"You don't have to kill them all. If you can hold them back for a while, then..."
"Hey, don't scare me with your assumptions. I'm timid and can't stand being scared. If you have time, you should meditate and recover, and pray for a good draw in the ring battle."
Li Shenzhi interrupted Shen Huaixi. His heart couldn't bear to hear him continue. However, the words had already entered his ears. Li Shenzhi became inexplicably irritated. He took out the life-saving items on his body and checked them again.
Shen Huaixi smiled when he saw this, "Brother Li, don't worry. I am just assuming that it will not succeed without the necessary conditions."
Li Shenzhi nodded, but his hands did not stop counting the life-saving items.
Shen Huaixi cleared his messy thoughts, closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
Well... maybe... and... maybe...
Please give me a monthly ticket!
