Turned a corner while ascending

"Senior Brother Lu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Hey, today is not a competition in the arena, it is said that Yu Cong is serving as a brother to fight with others, it is suitable for my generation to observe and learn from."

"Hey, it's actually a competition in the senior brother's arena, so I have to go and have a look, how about going?"

"Okay, please."

……

In the outer sect, arena duels are staged almost every day, but none of them are as sensational as today.

It's just because of the two protagonists in this arena competition, although one of them is unknown, the other is Yu Congxiao, a well-known third-rank disciple in the outer sect, known as "Thousand Jun Sword", and what's even more powerful is that this The witnesses of the competition in the arena this time invited Qionghua Daozong, one of the eight great peak masters of the Outer Sect, the Changmen Peak Master Qionghua Daozong!

The masters of each of the eight peaks of the outer sect are in the fifth-rank distraction state, and they are existences that even the elders of the outer sect should treat respectfully.

Bafeng does not belong to the inner sect and is independent of the outer sect. It is equivalent to the eight small sects established on the giant Kunyuan Sword Sect. .

If there are disciples from the outer sect who have cultivated the Dao and are unwilling to join the inner sect immediately, they can compete for the position of the peak master.Generally, after master Bafeng reached the sixth-grade realm, he would choose to enter the inner sect to continue his practice.

So for outer disciples, they have two routes to choose from——

First, after cultivating to the fourth-rank realm, the most outstanding ones can enter the holy land of Jintangya to practice after many tests.

Can be lucky enough to comprehend the Taoism and enter the inner door.

Second, join one of the eight peaks when you are in the outer sect, and be a disciple of the eight peaks, and enjoy a discipleship ratio higher than that of the outer sect but slightly lower than that of the inner sect.

After the fourth grade, you can directly enter Jintangya to practice, and you can still enter the inner door after comprehending the Dao Seed.

It can also be said that the eight peaks are where the elite disciples are cultivated for the sect. While the eight peak masters enjoy the privileges, they must also shoulder the heavy responsibility of selecting and cultivating disciples under the peak.

For example, Qionghua, the master of Changmen Peak, currently has 28 disciples under his peak, each of whom is selected by him personally, and the full quota of eight peaks is 40, that is to say, Qionghua still has [-] disciples. .

Everyone can see the preferential treatment of the disciples of the Eight Peaks. As long as they are outer disciples, there are few who do not want to enter the Eight Peaks and enter the inner sect, so this time Yu Congxiao invited Qionghua to do this ring competition The witnesses of the group suddenly became furious, and they all wanted to get in touch with the peak master of Nagato at a close distance. Maybe there was still a little chance of being taken into the peak by the peak master.

On the arena with red bricks and white rails, Yu Congxiao had been waiting for a long time.

Standing brightly in the center of the arena with a tall and strong body, Yu Congxiao stood leaning on his sword, as if trapped in a mountain nest surrounded by mountain peaks, and on the mountain peak, there are countless pairs of eyes watching him, but only A buzz of discussion could be heard but no one could be seen.

There is a stone platform directly in front, and there are three chairs on the stone platform, all of which are empty.

Looking up at the sky again, the sun has already climbed to the top of the head, and there is still about half an hour before the agreed time.

However, neither the witness Qionghua nor his opponent Bai Zhizhuo was seen at this time.

Yu Congxiao shook the flesh all over his face, raised his ferocious eyebrows and eyes, and looked even more ferocious.

The spectators who are hidden in the special formation on all sides and cannot be seen by the people on the ring, from full of anticipation to gradual doubts, and then comparing the time, finally someone said: "What is it called Bai Zhizhuo? Do you dare to come?"

"It's possible. Anyway, if I run into Senior Brother Yu, I won't dare to come."

"It's unlucky for him. Brother Yu is about to break through the fourth-rank realm, right? It is said that this year's evaluation is almost a fourth-rank disciple. It must be that Bai who went back to find out the name of Qianjun Sword." I dare not show my face."

"Haha, that's very possible, but Peak Master Qionghua didn't come either."

"A person like Peak Master Qionghua should have come late, and it's a good thing he was late, otherwise he would have to wait for that Bai."

"That's right, hey, I just really want to see the demeanor of Qionghua Daozong. It is said that he is a person with a snowy appearance and a jade bone, a person like no other in the world."

"Shh, don't say that, it will be a bad thing if Peak Master Qionghua hears about it."

"........"

Among the spectators, one person also frowned tightly, looking a little uneasy.

He is different from others. Others are worried about how to behave when they see Qionghua Daozong soon. He is worried about Bai Zhizhuo who has not appeared yet. No, it should be because he is always inseparable from Bai Zhizhuo. Jin Que.

Ever since they had a quick meeting that day, Ye Buwang always wanted to find an opportunity to have a good reunion with his little brother, but who knew that all the sword talismans sent out were like stone bulls falling into the sea, without even the slightest response.

Ye Buwang thought that maybe the person had closed a small pass, and it was possible that he could not respond temporarily. Who knew that he could not wait for someone after waiting for a long time on the Dumu Peak, so he had no choice but to go to the Zhangshitang to inquire.

He has a brother who is the chief disciple of the inner sect, and the elder in charge of the hall is not difficult, and told him everything he wants to know——Bai Zhizhuo and Jin had received the task of going to Yongxue City a few days ago, and left long ago up.

Ye Buwang had to wait for a few more days, but suddenly heard a bad news: Yongxue City and the head office of Xiangrui Auction House were all taken away. The once-in-a-thousand-year, earth-shattering battle of the three masters of the World Venerable level has begun.

Ye Buwang was almost frightened to death, full of apprehension, so he had to go to the Zhangshitang to inquire again. The elder of the Zhangshitang had been prepared, and when he came, he directly replied that no disciple's life-soul card had been broken recently, so his The two friends are still safe.

So until now, how important is the fight in the arena, it is related to the reputation and status of a sword cultivator in the outer sect, and it is also related to the sincerity of the sword heart. It can be said that he would rather lose than miss the appointment.

After waiting for Bai Zhizhuo for a long time, Ye Buwang didn't forget to mention how anxious he was.

Time flies, and the reason is that Cong Xiao felt regretful that today's fight was let go, suddenly there was a loud noise in his ears, it was like a thunderbolt suddenly exploded on the top of his head.

He looked up quickly, wanting to see what happened.

A ray of sword light came from the east, very fast, and then a white shadow flashed in front of him, and one person landed on the opposite side, his flying black hair fell slowly, revealing a handsome face that he would never forget.

This person was not wearing the uniform of an outer disciple, but only a snow-white robe with narrow waist and narrow sleeves without the slightest variegation. Standing upright, holding a sword in his hand, with a cold and sharp temperament, it is Bai Zhizhuo.

As soon as Bai Zhizhuo stood on the ring, he instantly felt that his ears were about to be deafened.

There are countless disciples hidden behind the fake scene of mountains on all sides, yelling something indistinctly, including women's sharp voices, and some men's shouts with changed tunes. Listen carefully, it seems to be Shouting "Peak Master Qianmen", "Qiong Hua Dao Sect", "Peak Master Qiong Hua" and so on.

Bai Zhizhuo wondered, what's going on?So what is Qionghua Peak Master, and there is such a position in the sect?

Jin, who was hiding behind the false scene, was also puzzled, what happened?The disciples of Kunyuan Sword Sect, who were almost cold to look like the spirit sword in their hands, suddenly turned into a stream of lava with enthusiasm, the ring was almost burned by them.

Of course, if you listen carefully, there are also hidden voices such as "This is not the peak master of Qionghua", "He is not the peak master of Qianmen!" in the voice like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, but it is very easy to forget. Covered up, it's hard to hear.

Yu Congxiao's face twitched, and his already fierce face seemed to be eating people. Seeing that there was still a little time left before the start, Qionghua Daozong hadn't come yet, and what was even worse, why didn't Qionghua Daozong come? , On the stage, there was a roll call of Qionghua Daozong, did this mean that Bai Zhizhuo was regarded as Qionghua Daozong?

Are you kidding me, Qionghua Daozong's dignified fifth grade distracted monk, how can such a little boy be comparable?

The two people in the arena remained silent, looking at each other, one was vicious, the other was slightly confused, and at this moment, suddenly another sword shadow came from the west.

Before the sword shadow arrived, there was a clear and pleasant voice saying: "Haha, please wait for a long time, you are one step late."

After the voice fell, there was suddenly one more person next to the three seats on the high platform in front of him.

The voices of the audience stopped abruptly.

This is also a man in white.

He was wearing a long robe with folded collar and wide sleeves, a flowing and open white coat, and a high crown. On one side of the collar was the symbol of the Yuji Sword, and on the other side was the word "Nagato" embroidered with gold thread. It depicts the bright red Changmen Peak Master's iconic sword pattern, which most disciples of the outer sect have seen, and the sword pattern that will never be mistaken shows his identity as the Changmen Peak Master.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet in an instant, and almost everyone was asking themselves: This is the master of Changmen Peak Qionghua Daozong, why did you just admit the wrong person just now?Huh, looking at it this way, it seems that this person named Bai Zhizhuo is better than the master of Changmen Peak?

The master of Changmen Peak has a face like a crown jade. Although he is a swordsman, he is a rare person with a refined temperament. He smiled confidently and thanked all his fellow disciples for their love. After seeing the sky, he immediately announced: "This sect is the leader of this competition. Witnessing the competition, it is now announced that the competition in the ring has begun!"

After speaking, both hands drew a few complicated lines out of thin air on the high platform, and in an instant, the arena with red background and white columns expanded infinitely in Bai Zhizhuo's eyes, expanding from a three-foot-square round platform to a boundless foreign space. There are only three people in the space: Bai Zhizhuo, Yu Congxiao, and Qionghua Daozong, and the others, not to mention their faces, can't even see their voices.

"Bai Zhizhuo." The opposite Yu Congxiao said, "You can come as promised, I admire your courage, although Yu and you are both third-rank disciples, but Yu has been proficient in swordsmanship for hundreds of years, and has been able to gather a foot Jianmang, so I let you make a move, come on!"

Bai Zhizhuo curled his lips into a smile, and his voice contained no warmth: "Then respect is worse than obedience, offended!"

In the Kunyuan Sword Gate competition, the winner will get the lottery of the opponent, and the loser must become the winner's servant for free for one year. During this year, your personal freedom is completely in the hands of the winner. He said that if he accidentally fell into the hands of the enemy, the end would be very miserable.

Bai Zhizhuo is well aware of this rule, coupled with the eight delicacies banquet invitation card, so he has no intention of losing.

Can't lose either.
