Jun Shu suddenly became the center of discussion, overshadowing the inheritance dispute between Zhu Changyang and Wan Lizheng that had lasted for more than half a month.
It was not until this moment that everyone came to their senses.
The reason why Jun Shu's statistics in all aspects except duration are mediocre is not because he did not play well enough.
On the contrary, it was because he played so well that there was not much room for him to perform.
In his several rounds of competition, he actually showed a complete crushing situation.
This is also true when facing new Buddhists.
Even Wan Li Zheng, who had been leading the competition since the beginning, could not defeat Xin Fozi with such a huge advantage.
After reviewing the list of the top 16, all the major sects were speechless.
In the list of top sixteen, only three sects have two disciples, two of whom are recognized as the strongest fighters in the cultivation world, the Kunlun Sword Sect and the Zhan Cang Sect.
Another one that is comparable to Tsinghua University and Peking University is not even one year old yet, but it has always been regarded as the industrial king of department stores.
This situation in the preliminary round could be considered a fluke, but this time, no one dared to think so.
The overall ranking of Industrial Sect is even higher than Kunlun Zhancang.
Other famous and established families, such as Mishan Sect, Jijin Sect, Hehuan Palace, Yongzhoutian, etc., only had one person enter the top sixteen.
The most tragic one is the Buddhist Saha Wonderland. In previous Saha Wonderland, they were always strong players among the top sixteen. When the last Buddha's son was born, they even advanced to the top three.
As a result, this time, two representatives including the New Buddhists were eliminated by the Industrial Sect, and no one entered the top 16.
But no one questioned the strength of Saha Miaojing. In comparison, everyone was more curious about Jun Shu's background.
The major sects are not fools. How come a person who can easily eliminate new Buddhists has not shown any signs in all these years
However, the relevant discussion did not last long, and soon the Wenxin Pavilion announced the results of the next round of draws.
On the column of Wanli Zheng's opponents, there was Zhu Changyang's name.
The much-anticipated moment has finally arrived.
All eyes focused on these two people again.
Unfortunately, before the round of 16, it is customary to have a ten-day break to allow the players who have been competing intensively for half a month to recover and adjust, so as to be in better condition in the subsequent games.
Even though everyone was extremely anxious, they could only wait patiently.
During this period, the martial arts culture was overflowing in Kunlun City. Supporters of various contestants often confronted each other in major restaurants and teahouses. They would fight over the slightest disagreement, and from time to time, it would get so bad that Kunlun had to step in to mediate.
Among them, the supporters of Wan Li Zheng and Zhu Chang Yang fought most frequently.
As a result, Kunlun had to ask Wanli Zheng and Zhu Changyang to come forward to appeal to supporters to value peace, friendship first and competition second.
Zhu Changyang didn't expect that he would have to mediate disputes among fans in the world of cultivation. He was simply at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But these were just small things. Then, an accident suddenly happened, breaking the short-lived peace that was hard-won.
.
It was a hazy moonlit night, and Zhu Changyang was meditating in his room.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy all around shook violently as if the water in a jar was shaken.
When Zhu Changyang opened his eyes, he saw a flash of white light outside the window, and a surging sword intent rushed past like a raging tide.
Zhu Changyang's heart skipped a beat and he immediately stood up. As soon as he walked out of the room, he bumped into Jun Shu who was guarding the yard.
The two looked at each other, and Jun Shu's eyes flickered: "I'm afraid something happened."
At this time, the courtyard next door also became noisy. They were all guests who were startled by the sword intent and came out to find out what was going on.
"What happened? Whose sword intent was that just now?"
"Did a fight break out somewhere?"
"No way? Who dares to fight in the Heart-Questioning Peak?"
Kunlun has strict laws and regulations, and ordinary people dare not act recklessly within the sect. If they want to exchange martial arts, they should do so in the training grounds of the West Peak, and the sword spirit should not spread here.
What's more, the sword intent he displayed just now was so strong that it was definitely not something that an ordinary disciple could do.
Just as he was wondering, a Kunlun disciple came hurriedly and said, "Masters, Mr. Jun, the master wants you two to come to the Heart-Searching Pavilion."
Zhu Changyang had a bad feeling and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The disciple was just following orders and was unaware of the situation.
Zhu Changyang didn't say anything more and immediately left the yard with Jun Shu. Yun Jing was already waiting at the edge of the cliff.
The two boarded the Cloud Whale and soon arrived at the Wenxin Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Wen Chuxue and several Kunlun elders present. There were also two people wearing the robes of the Four Extreme Sect, the head of the sect Yan Jinxia and the flower-handed young man Qiao Muxing. Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces.
Seeing Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu coming in, Qiao Muxing said in a hurry: "Master Zhu, something terrible has happened. Xuan Yang and the developer of your sect have been kidnapped along with our four treasures."
Zhu Changyang was shocked: "What?!"
Jun Shu's face darkened: "What's going on?"
Qiao Muxing quickly explained the situation.
It turned out that Xuan Yang and the developer were idle and playing together in the back mountain. Xiao Hua, the tabby cat raised by Si Bao, followed the developer every day. When the developer went out, he immediately followed with Si Bao.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened after a while.
At this point, Kunlun's Jinwu Elder, the captain of the security patrol, stepped forward and continued, "Just now when I was doing my daily inspection, I found a demonic aura in the back mountain, so I went to check..."
When he hurried to the back mountain, he saw Xuan Yang, Kaifa and Sibao fighting with a man in purple clothes and a golden crown.
The man was so powerful. Not to mention Sibao and the developer, Xuanyang was at least a fourth-level monster, roughly equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Yet, he was unable to withstand the man at all and was beaten into his original form.
In just three or two moves, the man captured the man and his three cats.
Upon seeing this, Elder Jinwu immediately stepped forward to rescue them, but was shocked when they fought.
The man's martial arts were originally from the devil, and his skills were far more powerful than those of the elders.
After a few moves, Elder Jinwu was defeated step by step and was almost seriously injured by the man.
Fortunately, Wen Chuxue noticed the spiritual power shock caused by the fight between the two men. He appeared in time at the critical moment and forced the man back a step with his supreme sword intent, and finally saved the elder.
The heroic sword intent that shocked the entire sect just now was used by Wen Chuxue.
Zhu Changyang asked hurriedly: "Then how did the developers..."
"I'm ashamed to say that," Wen Chuxue said with a hint of apology, "I couldn't stop it..."
It is said that when the man in purple saw him appear, he no longer wanted to fight and flew away with him and his three cats.
Wen Chuxue wanted to force him to stay, but his cultivation level was not enough to completely suppress him. In addition, the man had hostages and cats in his hands, so Wen Chuxue was afraid of the consequences and allowed the man to escape if he hesitated for a moment.
Zhu Changyang became more and more shocked as he listened: "How could it be?"
It should be noted that Kunlun's protective formation is the strongest in the Nine Realms. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to sneak in silently.
As the head of Kunlun, Wen Chuxue has reached the Mahayana realm and can be said to be one of the strongest fighters in the world.
Looking across the entire Piaomiao Continent, there are only a handful of people who can fight with Wen Chuxue.
Not only was this person able to block Wen Chuxue's terrifying sword intent, he was also able to take the person away in front of him. His realm must be at least above the peak of the fusion.
If it is the magic path, the range is very small.
A thought flashed through Zhu Changyang's mind, and he said in surprise: "Could that person be from the Sujiao..."
"That's right." Wen Chuxue's face was as cold as frost, and he said solemnly, "It should be Jiufang Ruo."
Elder Jinwu did not recognize the man, but Wen Chuxue identified his martial arts skills and the golden crown and purple clothes he was wearing, and knew that he was the only one in the Su sect.
Although I had expected it, my heart still skipped a beat when I actually heard it.
Jiufang Ruo was none other than the leader of the Su Sect in the Western Demon Realm and the immediate superior of Zhu Changyang's demon cultivator friend Yin Kanwei.
It is rumored that Jiufang Ruo's realm has reached the early stage of Mahayana, which is one level stronger than the Huijiao Demon Lord Dong Yaoyan.
If it was really Jiufang Ruo himself who took action, it would be no wonder that even Wen Chuxue was helpless.
The question is, why did Jiufang Ruo sneak into Kunlun
When this question was mentioned, Wen Chuxue and several Kunlun elders looked embarrassed. After a while, Wen Chuxue waved to Elder Jinwu.
Elder Jinwu spat and gnashed his teeth, saying, "The evil cult is a wicked evil with wolfish ambitions. They have been lying dormant for many years, but they are actually plotting to take advantage of the competition to do something bad..."
Sujiao is located to the west of Kunlun, separated from Kunlun by a mountain range.
The two factions are led by the leader of good and evil respectively. They are close to each other and both have extremely terrifying strength. It can be said that they are in a polar confrontation.
Fortunately, the Sujiao was not as brutal and vicious as the Huijiao, and Jiufang Ruo himself lived in seclusion and maintained a delicate balance with Kunlun.
The sect's guardian Yin Kanwei is also on good terms with Elder Jiang Hui of Yaoyin Pavilion.
More than a year ago, at the Leyou Banquet in Yaoyin Pavilion, after Yin Kanwei's private relationship with Jiang Hui was exposed, he was accused and cursed by the righteous side, and Wanli Zheng even came forward to speak up for him.
Since Zhu Changyang debuted, he has ignored the old hatred between the two sects and made peace with the Demon Sect. Strangely, after several of his fancy moves, the tense atmosphere between the two sects has actually eased.
Even the Hui religion, which has always been extremely vicious, is now doing legitimate business.
As the conflict between the two sects gradually lessened, Kunlun's hostility towards Sujiao also decreased.
I thought the two factions could live in peace, but after the finals of the competition began, the Sujiao sect couldn't help but reveal its true colors.
“A few days ago, when I sent my disciples on patrol, I discovered that demon cultivators frequently appeared in the area near Kunlun City…” said Elder Jinwu.
Those demon cultivators were all well-disguised and moved cautiously. If Kunlun had not been alert, they would have been difficult to detect.
After discovering this, Kunlun immediately launched an investigation and found that those evil cultivators were all disciples sent by the Su Sect.
During such a sensitive period of sect competition, the Sujiao sect suddenly became active and sneaky, which was obviously very unusual.
But at this time, all the factions had gathered together, and there were countless tourists and mortals in Kunlun City. Before the situation became clear, Kunlun did not dare to leak the news easily, so as not to cause panic and cause disasters. Therefore, it only secretly strengthened the defense barrier and increased patrols.
Zhu Changyang suddenly realized that when they drove the helicopter to Wenxin Peak that day, Jun Shu noticed that Kunlun’s security was unusually strict.
At that time, I just thought that security was upgraded during the competition, but I didn't expect there was this reason.
Originally, with Kunlun's current strong defense, it was impossible for any ordinary demon cultivator to invade quietly. And the finals had been going on for about a month, and although the people of the Sujiao still appeared in the Kunlun City area from time to time, they had not done anything.
Kunlun thought that the Sujiao had seen the power in the city and would not dare to act rashly. He never expected that Jiufang Ruo would personally go directly to Wenxin Peak, which was extremely arrogant.
Elder Jinwu said in disgust, "Jiufang Ruo's behavior is a blatant provocation to the righteous path. Since he has acted recklessly, our sect will never back down."
"That's right," another elder said sternly, "How can the disciples of Kunlun be bullied by the demons? We will go to the Su Sect and kill them."
Qiao Muxing hurriedly reminded: "What about Sibao and the others?"
"Don't worry, my friend." Wen Chuxue said, "We will definitely find a way to rescue him."
"Then we, the Four Extreme Sects, will go together." Yan Jinxia was also very indignant, and at the same time, he could not help but worry, "But if the Su Sect really has evil intentions, I'm afraid there are other tricks. I think we should first inform fellow sects and unite to resist the enemy. We must not let the evil sect enter Kunlun City and bring disaster to mortals."
The Kunlun elders all agreed.
"Wait a minute." Zhu Changyang hesitated and said, "Why does it sound a little strange to me?"
Wen Chuxue: "Why do you say that?"
Zhu Changyang looked puzzled: "You have been talking for a long time, but I still don't understand Jiufang Ruo's motive for sneaking into Kunlun."
Normally, sneaking into another sect late at night usually has some ulterior motive.
But after listening to everyone, Jiufang Ruo made such a big fuss, but in the end he just kidnapped one person and three cats. The key point is that he is not an important person who is related to the lifeblood of the righteous path.
This really made him feel very confused.
Elder Jinwu snorted: "What's so strange about this? He must have taken advantage of the gathering of various factions to come in and gather information so that he can go back and make arrangements to catch us all in one fell swoop..."
Zhu Changyang asked, "Then why did he take Sibao and Shangzi away?"
Elder Jinwu said: "It must be that Sibao and the others discovered his whereabouts, and he decided to go all out..."
Zhu Changyang glanced at him dimly and said, "Elder, think about it carefully. Does this really sound reasonable?"
Jiufang Ruo is the dignified leader of the Su Sect. How could he sneak into Kunlun quietly and be discovered by a child and three cats
Even if he was really careless and was seen, with his level of cultivation, it would be easy for him to deal with Sibao and the others, so why go to so much trouble
When Elder Jinwu arrived later, Jiufang Ruo attacked him severely.
The others thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case, and they were all confused for a moment.
Wen Chuxue turned to look at Yan Jinxia: "Master Yan, is there any connection between the Four Treasures and the Sujiao?"
"No." Yan Jinxia said firmly, "Sibao is my adopted daughter. I watched her grow up. She has never come into contact with people from the magic world."
Wen Chuxue knew that what she said was true. The Siji Sect was far away in the east of the continent, very far away from the Sujiao, and they rarely had contact with each other.
"Ah!" Zhu Changyang suddenly remembered something and took a deep breath, "Could it be that he came here specifically to arrest the developer?"
Previously, Yin Kanwei went to the Gupeng Secret Realm in order to capture the developer to serve as a companion for their Master Lihua.
It was for this reason that Zhu Changyang became acquainted with Yin Kanwei.
But later on, Zhu Changyang accidentally made a spiritual contract with the developer, and the developer refused to follow Sujiao to become a sacred cat, so Yin Kanwei had no choice but to give up.
Could it be that Sujiao is still not giving up and has come thousands of miles to catch the developer
Wen Chuxue didn't expect there was such a precedent, and couldn't help but be stunned: "No way?"
Jun Shu thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be."
Zhu Changyang calmed down and thought about it again, and felt that it was unlikely.
Even if two years had passed, if Venerable Lihua still wanted to get the developer, he wouldn't have to ask Jiufang Ruo to do it personally, and he wouldn't have to do it in Kunlun.
Furthermore, what are the reasons for those demonic cultivators who frequently appear near Kunlun City
Just as he was puzzled, Wanli Zheng came in from outside and said with a folded hand: "Master, all the demon cultivators near Kunlun City have withdrawn, and they failed to capture anyone."
As soon as Jiufang Ruo escaped, Wanli Zheng noticed it and chased after him immediately.
However, Jiufang Ruo was too fast and he failed to catch up. Wanli Zheng turned to search the area around Kunlun City, hoping to capture one or two demon cultivators to question, but he found that all the demon cultivators had left without knowing when.
When everyone heard this, they became more confused.
Jiufang Ruo couldn't really be here just to catch cats, right
Zhu Changyang clapped his hands and said, "In this case, we can only go to the Demon Realm."
"Well." Jun Shu's eyes were stern, "They'd better not let Shangzai lose a single hair, otherwise..."
Zhu Changyang raised his eyebrows: "How about otherwise?"
Jun Shu sneered: "I will pluck out all the hair of their sect."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Studio:
[Great, let’s go to the Demon Realm! ]
[Xuan Yang: So my hair is not important? ]
