Former Enemy [Rebirth]

Following Du Changmao all the way, Su Che maintained his usual little transparency and didn't say much. On the contrary, An Qiyuan and Du Changmao had a good chat. Qi Yuan explained the situation of the opponent's monk in detail.

"Because Deng Chong has waged a war against Su Ming, there is no need to draw lots for the competition between the two of them. The lottery is just to determine the number of competitions, and will not change the opponent because of this."

"It's you, Anyuan." Du Changmao stroked his beard and said, "Although you completed the foundation building at a young age with the posture of a heavenly man, there is still a distance from the middle level of foundation building, and you have been retreating since you started, lacking practical experience , Compared with other well-trained Foundation Establishment monks, I am afraid it is not superior."

An Qiyuan said humbly: "The disciple avoids the gap with other senior brothers, and only holds the mentality of learning, and doesn't care about the result of winning or losing."

Du Changmao nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words. As the saying goes, Muxiu will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. Anyuan completed the foundation building in half a year, and now he has broken the precedent and monopolized the Xuanbing Cave, so he will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention in the competition. Not to mention all the monks in the foundation-building stage who could be his opponents, even Taoist cultivators who have reached the alchemy realm also want to try their skills with him, but due to the restrictions of the rules, it can't be realized.

If Anyuan feels that he is talented, he feels that he will win without doubt, and he will be arrogant. Once he loses, he will feel humiliated and resentful.

Together with the heart of resentment, it will inevitably affect Hongzheng Qi, which will have a bad impact on the next cultivation.

But looking at it now, the two cousins, Anyuan, can be so calm and composed at such a young age, as if they really don't care about the victory or defeat, and they talk and laugh with calmness and calmness, which really makes people feel good.

Du Changmao didn't say any more, and waved out the Lingxiao Crane, and brought the two of them to the inner court competition that was already crowded with people.

Due to the thinness of spiritual energy in the lower realm, it is difficult to cultivate and advance. The interval between the inner sect competitions of each sect and sect is no less than ten years, and some small sects with less financial resources hold the inner sect competition only once in decades.

Before that, Qingyang Cave was severely damaged by Su Che's fall during the catastrophe, and the order in the sect was once chaotic without a leader. Naturally, the inner sect competition could not be held as scheduled, and it has been delayed until this year.

Since this is the first inner martial arts competition after the sect's decline, even though the current Qingyang Cave has no seed players who can attract attention, An Qiyuan's reputation has been created by Deng Chong by accident. The rumors of the incident are widely known, making the suspense of this Zongmen Grand Competition extremely exciting.

Encountering such a grand event, Faneng from Ruoye Pavilion and Wen Fushan from Longjian Villa, who had been stationed in Qingyang Cave for a long time to preside over the overall situation, were invited to watch the battle. Disciples also attended one after another, making this inner sect competition, which was originally just a matter of Taoist cultivators, turn into a gathering with the participation of many parties.

As usual, the competition venue is held on the huge circular platform on the top of Dayituo Peak in Qingyang Cave.

The platform on Dayituo Peak is formed naturally. Generations of disciples of Qingyang Cave will carry up the azure terrazzo and lay it up according to the predetermined layout every day when they climb the mountain to practice.

Today's dojo is flying with flags, and the center of the dojo is even covered with a thick carpet of eight trigrams and auspicious clouds representing Qingyang Cave. In addition, the crowds around are full of people's voices, which set off a kind of passionate purpose.

It is not a surprise that Taoist cultivators from various Taoist temples in Qingyang Cave came here one after another by riding cranes, but when the cranes carrying An Qiyuan and Su Che floated up together, some sharp-eyed people recognized Knowing their identities, they immediately pointed to An Qiyuan who was still ten feet away and shouted loudly: "Look, it's the two brothers of the An family!"

The crowd boiled instantly.

"It's Master An, that's right!"

"An Yuan is finally here!!"

Su Che didn't expect An Qiyuan's popularity to reach such a level, no matter whether the evaluations on him at the moment are more positive or more negative, An Qiyuan has already become an existence similar to a spiritual leader—— I'm afraid that this kind of effect that will detonate the audience as soon as it appears, is something that the executive elder Qiu Quanshu never expected?

An Qiyuan and Su Che jumped off the celestial crane in the eyes of everyone. Compared with the excitement just now, everyone became quiet after seeing An Qiyuan at close range. Although there were occasional whispers, more He still used his eyes to examine the Venerable Supervisor who hadn't seen him for a full year.

Not long after Su Che stood still, he saw that the gathered crowd spontaneously branched out an unobvious path under the mutual expectation. Looking along the path, he realized that the person standing inside was none other than Another object that has attracted much attention today-Deng Chong.

Thanks to Deng Chong's blessing, Su Che, who had always planned to act as Little Transparency until he achieved great success, became a key figure next to An Qiyuan, but most of the low-level monks in the inner sect were in the mid-stage of Qi refining. In the next step, you can feel that the coercion emanating from Su Che's body is only a mere mid-level Qi refining, and the original inexplicable and uneasy enthusiasm is immediately replaced by a disdainful mentality of looking forward to the show up.

Deng Chong had already broken through the high level of Qi refining more than half a month ago, and his basic attack spells were perfected. He rarely lost in the competition with many senior brothers who had been at the high level of Qi refining for many years. For the mid-level Su Ming, winning seems to be as easy as picking something out of pocket.

Su Che can easily detect the changes in the emotions of the people around him from the changes in their facial expressions, which is a completely novel experience for him.

If it was placed before his fall, not to mention him who later became a sect of the same line, even when he had just worshiped the disciples and had not yet started to cultivate, he was just bearing the honorable name of the master's closed disciple, and the people around him People are all trembling and afraid to show their true nature. How could they show such a real emotional change in front of him?

Su Che couldn't help but feel that God was giving him a make-up lesson for him to live a new life, and he just made up for the part of the emotional experience that he lacked before.

Deliberately lowering his head to avoid eye contact with others, Su Che tried his best to create a stage fright posture, which is more in line with his current status as a good-for-nothing little follower.

It's just that his show of cowardice, not to mention the people around, even Du Changmao, who had been observing the two brothers, was frightened away. At the moment Su Che lowered his head and showed timidity, he sighed almost inaudibly, revealing a kind of "How can there be such a big difference between brothers when they are obviously brothers?" Helpless feeling came.

An Qiyuan maintained his usual composure. After deliberately ignoring everyone's attention and discussion, he stood up among the large number of Foundation Establishment disciples.

Fortunately, the team of foundation-establishing monks was right next to the team of Qi-refining monks, so even though An Qiyuan and Su Che returned to the team separately, they could still stand together inseparable.

The heavy drums sounded suddenly in the valley, the time for the competition had come, and the Inner Sect Grand Competition officially kicked off.

The four teams of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation and Yuanying sent representatives to draw lots to determine the opponent and the number of matches.

Because there were people from Ruoyege and Longjian Villa as foreign guests watching the battle this time, the matter of witnessing the lottery was naturally handed over to Faneng and Wen Fushan.

The result of the lottery was announced soon. The match between Su Che and Deng Chong was arranged in the No. 11 match of the Gendui group, while An Qiyuan was in the third match of the Kanli group.

The competitions of the four groups were held at the same time, so An Qiyuan's first round of competitions would be held before Su Che.

After the lottery result was announced, Su Che ran to the Kanli group early to occupy a favorable spot to watch the battle, and the other members naturally knew the relationship between Su Che and An Qiyuan, so they didn't intend to fight for it, so Su Che easily occupied it. Excellent location.

It's just that since he returned to Qingyang Cave, he spent most of his time retreating in Xuanbing Cave. As for the foundation-building Taoist named Chen Xiang who was chosen as An Qiyuan's opponent in the competition, he really didn't have the slightest impression.

"I don't know whether to say Chen Xiang is lucky or unlucky, but he met An Yuan in the first round."

There were discussions from other disciples behind him, and Su Che naturally pricked up his ears to listen.

"So what, Senior Brother Chen Xiang is at the middle level of Foundation Establishment, why should he be better than the Elementary Foundation Establishment level?"

"Besides, Senior Brother has been practicing in Qingyang Cave before the fall of the previous suzerain. He was also sent down by the elders to slay demons and eliminate demons for the common people. The experience alone is better than the fledgling An Yuan. Less?"

Everyone couldn't help nodding when they heard the words.

But when everyone felt that Chen Xiang was unlikely to lose, a clear and deep voice interrupted the conversation that everyone was enjoying.

"If Chen Xiang is really that capable, he won't be eligible to enter the inner sect until Sect Master Su falls."

Everyone's face became a little ugly when they heard it.

When Qingyang Cave was in its heyday, even foundation-building cultivators might not be able to enter the inner sect to practice. Since Chen Xiang had been stationed in the outer sect before, he must have limited talent. No wonder he was so complained about at this time.

Su Che turned around after hearing the words, and saw a tall and slender man who looked about 23 or [-] years old standing with his sword in his arms. Although he was wearing a gray Taoist robe like everyone else, he had an outstanding appearance and an irresistible heroism between his brows. Let him have a sense of superiority that stands out from the crowd.

Su Che felt the coercion of this man, and said in his heart, "Peak of Foundation Establishment", and looked at the man for a while before quickly retracting his gaze.

One reason is that in the strict classification of the cultivation world, low-level monks cannot look directly at monks with higher cultivation bases than themselves. Second, although this man is only at the peak of foundation establishment, Su Che intuitively feels that He doesn't look like an ordinary person, it would be bad if someone sees some clues, so he consciously avoids it.

Most of the onlookers were low-level disciples in the Qi refining stage, and when they were choked by the man, they blushed and dared not speak.

Among them, a few disciples who were acquainted with the man saw the man's statement, and immediately responded flatteringly: "Senior Brother Qu is right."

The man surnamed Qu turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, he walked over to Su Che's side and stood still. His eyes did not fall on Su Che. He usually asked in front of the ring, "Who do you think will win?"

Su Che knew that the man surnamed Qu was asking himself a question, but Quan pretended he didn't hear him and didn't reply. The man surnamed Qu then turned his head and put his face next to Su Che's and said, "I'm asking you something, how dare you deliberately not?" Pay attention?"
