I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Bai Rourou originally thought that Xie Zhiqiu would not contact them during the competition, after all, they were competitors, but she didn't expect that he would still receive her text message.

After reading the content of the text message, Bai Rourou was furious and asked someone to check it out. It was found that Jin Ning was indeed seriously injured.

Bai Rourou complained to Xie Zhifa in a text message, "She deserves it."

He blah blah told Xie Zhiqiu everything he had investigated.

"Let me tell you, I haven't heard that Jin Ning was seriously injured. I don't think he will be able to start the second game tomorrow." Bai Rourou stated all her guesses.

Sure enough, in the evening, Xie Zhiqiu received a notice from his senior brother that the second round would be postponed for another three days.

Feng Yang originally wanted to postpone it for another five days, but was opposed by many sects, so he had to take a step back and rest for three days.

There has never been such a tradition in previous competitions. If the competition system this time was not originally different from previous ones, and if the elders of each sect had not taken into consideration that their own disciples had time to prepare more thoroughly, they would not have agreed to postpone it.

Xie Zhiqiu was concentrating on drawing talismans in the room when Bai Rourou and Liu Yaner came over.

This surprised Xie Zhiqiu, "Why are you here?"

Bai Rourou and Liu Yaner each carried Xie Zhiqiu into the room.

Xie Zhiqiu:?

"Zhi Qiu, let me tell you, I received news that Jin Ning has gone crazy, so the Discipline Elder advocated delaying the second game." Liu Yan'er told the news she knew.

"Crazy?" Xie Zhiqiu also believed it. She didn't quite believe that Jin Ning would go crazy because of a competition. She probably had some other story behind it.

"There is another rumor," Bai Rourou added solemnly, "Jin Ning has developed a mental demon."

"How long has she been building her foundation? Why did she develop inner demons only now?" Xie Zhiqiu became even more confused after listening.

Generally, inner demons appear when one is unable to pass the test of self-examination during the period of advancing to the thunder tribulation.

The earlier the inner demon is born, the more serious the harm to the original owner, and it will repeatedly whip the person who is undergoing the tribulation during each subsequent thunder tribulation.

Even if you manage to survive the calamity by chance when your realm is low, everything will be settled together when your realm is high.

However, the probability of developing inner demons is very low now. Immortal practitioners all know the cause and effect and generally do not dare to act recklessly.

She remembered that in his previous life, Jin Ningke had no inner demons to trouble him. He rose rapidly all the way and broke through the realms without any pressure, crushing all his peers at that time.

Has anything happened in this life?

"If she has an inner demon, will she be possessed by a devil and destroy our entire sect?" Liu Yan'er asked fearfully. She had never seen anyone with an inner demon before, and the novels she had read described people with inner demons as extremely evil.

Bai Rourou sighed helplessly, "You should read less storybooks in the future, they are all lies."

Liu Yan'er retorted: "Who said that everything in the book is a lie? Then the story between Mu Xi and Jin Ning is true. Look at how Master Mu treats Zhi Qiu and Jin Ning."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth.

Xie Zhiqiu didn’t think Jin Ning really had a mental demon. She was thinking that even if a cultivator had a mental demon, he would not easily tell others unless he was discovered. She didn’t seem like such a careless person.

After hearing what Liu Yan'er said, he asked, "What book?"

Seeing you pulling me and me pulling you, Liu Yan'er assured them that she would not be angry before she explained the situation.

Xie Zhiqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't know whether to praise his senior brother for his good acting or to praise the author of the storybook.

"I declare that how my senior brother treats other people has nothing to do with me. My senior brother and I are just senior brother and sister. There is no bloody love triangle."

"Just watch it, don't take it seriously." This was her hint to the two of them.

Bai Rourou gently pushed Liu Yaner and said, "I'm telling you, don't take it seriously, you still don't believe it."

The three of them laughed and chatted for a while before Bai Rourou and the other person went back.

Three days later, the second competition began.

The one hundred people who advanced lined up in the central square of Xuantian Sect, still standing according to their sects.

This time, Xie Zhiqiu and Mu Xi were not so conspicuous. Most of the teams had only one or two people left, and the largest group in the Xuantian Sect had only five people.

After the first elimination round, many sects were eliminated. Some small and medium-sized sects were lucky and still had one or two survivors, which was much better than previous years.

Feng Yang's proposal to postpone the second game for three days was supported by these small sects. It was rare for them to have a say, so they would definitely support those who gave them the power.

Xie Zhiqiu secretly observed Jin Ning, wanting to know what her situation was in case Jin Ning was plotting against her.

I complained about Mu Xi yesterday, and after asking around for a long time, I didn't get any accurate information, let alone the shadow of Jin Ning.

Jin Ning was absent-minded at the meeting, but there was nothing wrong with him.

I listened to Feng Yang reiterating the rules of the second team competition, which was also an elimination system.

The difference between the second game and the first game is that there is no image change link this time, it is a direct game, and in the end only ten sects can advance.

Xie Zhiqiu heard from his senior brother that there would be points in this competition, but the specific role of the points would not be announced until the third game.

No matter how much Xie Zhiqiu begged, Wu Yuan refused to give in.

About a hundred people from more than forty sects entered the second venue in an orderly manner.

Mu Xi was very depressed. What would he do without his disguise?

Xie Zhiqiu warned his senior brother who was making lots of small moves, "Pay attention to your image. You are too sneaky."

"What do you mean by stealing? Have you ever seen a thief as handsome as me?"

Xie Zhiqiu: "Brother, we are in a competition, can you please stop joking?"

"No." Mu Xi decisively rejected her and told her, "Junior sister, I'll teach you a trick. If you are too nervous, the fish will be scared away."

When the people from Changfeng Sect saw that they had been discovered, they no longer hid and exchanged glances with Xie Zhiqiu.

"There are three of us, one Jindan and two foundation-building stages. So what even if you know about it?" Gu Qingbai came out with his two junior brothers.

Xie Zhiqiu pretended to be harmless and said the cruelest words in the softest voice, "I know, I'll just eliminate you, what else can I do?"

The two disciples behind Gu Qingbai laughed, "Just the two of you?"

After the two finished speaking, Gu Qingbai stood up and said, "Wang Feng and Li Yuanxiu are so rude. These two are the senior uncles of Lingxiao Sect. Is this how I usually teach you?"

Xie Zhiqiu had some impression of Gu Qingbai. His master had supported him when he was in the Wanbao Secret Realm, but what about now?

I understand. The Changfeng Sect is a fence-sitter, waving in the wind.

"Stop talking so much nonsense. If you want to call someone, just call him ancestor. Why call him uncle?" Reckless man number one Xie Zhiqiu came online, and reckless man number two Mu Xi came online.

In front of the water realm, the elder of Changfeng Sect was embarrassed to explain Wu Yuan at first, but after hearing what Xie Zhiqiu said, he felt that it was not right to explain, nor was it right not to explain, and he felt angry and aggrieved.
