Before I could finish, Dou Ma shook her head and said, "It has always been like this for the preliminary saintly maiden examinations of all generations. In order to strive for authenticity, Taixu Holy Land and even the five major sects have never cared about the dead. Even if they know that they are sending people to their deaths, they will send people to participate without hesitation."
I turned my head and looked in the direction of Prajna Temple. This time, apart from Xuanjing Division, the biggest loss was probably in Prajna Temple. Most of the monks in Prajna Temple looked normal, only Zhihui and Zhiyuan bowed their heads deeply, turned their rosary beads and chanted sutras non-stop. I don't know if they were suppressing their grief or saying goodbye to their departing brothers.
At this time, Hua Yanyu on the stage said loudly: "The preliminary saints who successfully passed the assessment this time are: Lu Xiaoying, Tang Xiner, Guan Qingyan..."
I immediately stood up from the stretcher and asked, "How could it be them?"
Dou's mother quickly pulled me back and said, "Don't be impulsive. There may be a chance of recovery."
Turning point
I couldn't think of any solution.
One of the "One Saint and Four Sects" that dominates the art of magic is the Taixu Holy Land. According to legend, it is guarded by the Art Saint and is the supreme holy land where the immortals on land live in seclusion. Even the four major sects are under their control. If they want people, what turn can there be
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "Three pre-selected saint ladies, are you willing to return to the holy land with me?"
Emperor Senluo laughed and stood up without waiting for Xiao Baitang to speak, saying, "Yes, yes... Why wouldn't I want to?"
Hua Yanyu said calmly: "I am now asking for the opinions of the three pre-selected saints. It would be better for you not to make decisions for others."
The great Emperor Senluo was insulted in public, but he could only smile awkwardly and sit back in his seat, not even daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Hua Yanyu smiled and turned to the audience: "Guan Qingyan, are you willing to join Taixu Holy Land?"
Guan Qingyan shook her head without hesitation and said, "I don't want to. I'm already married to Wu Zhao, and I'm afraid it doesn't meet the requirements of the Holy Land."
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "The Holy Land does not prohibit the marriage of Saints, and there is not even an age requirement. Didn't you see that several wives of the Sun family also participated in the assessment? You are not a person of magic, so you probably don't know the significance of the Taixu Holy Land. As long as you become a pre-selected Saint, your family will be protected by the Holy Land. If you can stand out among the many pre-selected Saints in the future, your family can get greater benefits, and even directly join the Holy Land as a vassal of the Holy Land."
Guan Qingyan shook her head again and said, "As the saying goes: Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. I am only willing to follow Wu Zhao. As for my family, I can only say that I am now considered a member of the Wu family, and it is enough to have Wu Zhao protecting me."
Guan Qingyan knew that the Wu family, without any inheritance of magic, would only become lambs to be slaughtered even if they entered the Taixu Holy Land, so after rejecting the Taixu Holy Land, she simply cut off ties with her family.
Hua Yanyu nodded and said, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. You claim that you have no relationship with the family, so I will not ask for your family's opinion. Come, remove Guan Qingyan's name from the candidates for the saint."
Hua Yanyu turned to look at Xiao Baitang: "Tang Xiner, what about you?"
Xiao Baitang shook his head and said, "I don't want to join the Holy Land either. I want to be with Brother Wu Zhao."
"Asshole!" Emperor Senluo immediately slammed the table and stood up, "Xiaotang, our sect has devoted all its efforts to train you just to let you join the Taixu Holy Land. How dare you disobey the sect's arrangements?"
Xiao Baitang said stubbornly: "I will repay the sect's kindness in the future. But I will not leave Brother Wu Zhao."
An impermanence beside Emperor Senluo said, "Xiaotang, if you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame the sect for dealing with the people who blocked your entry into the holy land!"
Xiao Baitang's face suddenly turned pale: "I..."
I pushed the crowd aside and said, "I want to see today how you deal with me!"
"Get it!"
"don't want!"
While Wu Chang and Xiao Bai Tang were talking, Shen Lin, who was sitting at the first seat of the Nine-Storied Pavilion, suddenly said, "Blood Tower, get ready!"
The disciples of the Jiuchong Pavilion behind me simultaneously drew their swords, formed a formation, and advanced towards the Hell Gate.
Emperor Senluo said in a deep voice: "Shen Lin, what do you want to do?"
Shen Lin said in a cold voice: "According to the decision of the Jiuchong Pavilion Elders' Council, as long as Wu Zhao can win the Masters' Contest without relying on the Jiuchong Pavilion, he can directly enter the Jiuchong Pavilion. Now, Wu Zhao is the Pavilion Master of Tingxue Pavilion under my Jiuchong Pavilion. You want to kill my Pavilion Master, what do you think I will do?"
Emperor Senluo said coldly: "Shen Lin, aren't you afraid of becoming an enemy of the Hell Gate?"
Shen Lin smiled faintly and said, "You, the Hell Gate, are not afraid of offending the Nine-Layered Pavilion, so why should I be afraid? Otherwise, let's have a duel right now in front of the Holy Land, regardless of life or death?"
Emperor Senluo's expression changed several times before he swung his sleeves and said, "Today is the day when the Holy Land recruits the pre-selected Saintess. I won't bother with you, but if Wu Zhao dares to obstruct the Saintess election again, I, the Hell Gate, will not let him off easily."
I walked over to Xiao Baitang and put my arm around her shoulders: "Don't be afraid! There are many people who want to kill me, but I'm still alive and well. Since some people are fearless, let them try."
When Emperor Senluo was about to speak again, Hua Yanyu spoke first: "Tang Xiner herself has made it clear that she does not want to join the Holy Land. As the sect that trained Tang Xiner, what does Hell Gate have to say about it?"
Emperor Senluo turned around and said, "Tang Xin'er of Hell Gate must join the Holy Land. I will apply to the Holy Land to conduct..."
"Wait!" Seventh Shuilan interrupted before the other party finished speaking, "I think we should respect Xiaotang's own opinion."
Emperor Senluo was stunned for a few seconds before growling, "Seventh, you should understand the significance of Xiaotang joining the Holy Land. I don't care what you think, but now we must put the overall situation first."
Seventh Shuilan said coldly: "I don't care about the overall situation. I only know that Hell Gate is half of me, Seventh Shuilan. When I say 'no', you'd better think about it before objecting."
The Impermanence standing next to Emperor Senluo said in a cold voice: "Seventh Ghost King, do you want to force the emperor to abdicate?"
Seventh Shuilan said calmly: "If you think so, it's not a bad idea."
"You..." Emperor Senluo was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he had no idea what to do to the Seventh Shuilan. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Xiaotang, I advise you to think carefully. If you refuse to join the Holy Land, Wu Zhao will surely die."
Xiao Baitang suddenly said, "After I join the Holy Land, I will definitely fight for the position of the Saintess with all my strength. Once I become the Saintess, the first thing I will do is to destroy the Gate of Hell."
Guan Qingyan stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, Special Envoy, if Tang Xin'er joins the Holy Land, can I enter the Holy Land as her vassal?"
Hua Yanyu nodded and said, "Of course."
Guan Qingyan turned around and said, "If Xiao Baitang joins the Holy Land, then the God of Wealth will do his best to assist Xiao Baitang and destroy the Hell Gate."
Emperor Senluo was so angry that his face turned blue: "Tang Xin'er, don't you appreciate the kindness of Hell Gate in raising you for so many years?"
Xiao Baitang hesitated before saying, "I will repay the sect's kindness..."
The Wuchang said in a deep voice: "Well, you should return everything you took away from the sect now, including your stunning sword eyes."
Xiao Baitang's face turned pale as he broke free from my arms: "I can give it back to you..."
"stop!"
After Qiqi Shuilan and I shouted at Xiao Baitang at the same time, Qiqi Shuilan said in a deep voice: "Everything that Xiaotang took away is considered a personal gift from me. No one is allowed to take it back, otherwise they will be my enemy."
"You..." Emperor Senluo and Wuchang were so angry that their faces turned red and white, but they couldn't utter a word.
The seventh Shui Lan didn't even look at them: "Wu Zhao, you kidnapped Tang Xin'er from our Hell Gate after all. Is it too much for me to ask you to do something for Hell Gate in the future?"
“Whatever the senior asks me to do, I will take it. As for the Hell Gate, hehe…” I owed a favor to the Seventh Shuilan, not the Hell Gate, and I had no intention of working for the Hell Gate.
The seventh Shuilan could naturally understand what I meant, and simply nodded and said, "Very good, then the grudge between Hell Gate and you is written off, and Xiaotang is no longer a disciple of Hell Gate from now on."
At this time, the Impermanence said in a cold voice: "Emperor, I suggest that Tang Xin'er be labeled a traitor to Hell's Gate. If she dares to return to Hell's Gate in the future, she will be killed without mercy."
"Accurate!" Emperor Senluo squeezed out a word from between his teeth, then left with his men.
But I said at this time: "Wait a minute!"
When the Hell Gate people subconsciously looked in my direction, I pointed at the Impermanence and said, "You'd better pray that you don't see me again, otherwise, I will kill you!"
The other party sneered and said, "I want to say the same thing to you. When we meet again in the world of martial arts, I will take your head." After saying that, the other party immediately turned around and left.
Hua Yanyu waited until Hell Gate left before asking, "Where's Lu Xiaoying? Are you also planning to stay for Wu Zhao? You are my favorite candidate for the Saintess. If you are willing to join the Holy Land, I can strongly recommend you to become a Saintess."
When I turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoying, I couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in my heart. If Lu Xiaoying really agreed to join the Holy Land, I wouldn't even be qualified to persuade her. But watching her enter the Taixu Holy Land and compete with many pre-selected saints who were as talented and powerful as her, I was worried. What I hope now is that she can shake her head quickly.
Before Lu Xiaoying could even open his mouth, I heard someone from the Xuan Jing Division shout, "I agree on behalf of Lu Xiaoying."
Xuanjingsi? I couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaoying.
According to Hua Yanyu, only the sects that have trained the pre-selected saints are qualified to decide their destination. How could someone agree to the direction of Xuan Jing Si for her? Could it be that Lu Xiaoying came from Xuan Jing Si? Impossible!
The first time I saw Lu Xiaoying, she was with Xie Jingwen. Could it be that Lu Xiaoying joined the Sixth Division as a sorcerer of the Mirror Division
If that's the case, why didn't Lu Xiaoying ever say anything
Is Lu Xiaoying really hiding something? (To be continued)
