"Surround the Great Elder? Follow Li Siyuan's orders?" Cao Gao looked confused. What was going on?

"Wasn't what I said clear enough?"

"Understood! I'll take them to make arrangements right away!"

Cao Gao couldn't figure it out either. After receiving the order, he took more than 200 people and left first.

Li Siyuan left the Law Enforcement Hall. Huang Zhenyi, Xue'er, and the others who had been waiting outside saw Li Siyuan. Huang Zhenyi hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Eighth... Second Elder, for rescuing my disciple..."

Before he could finish, Li Siyuan waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow's sect competition will be the most turbulent moment in the history of Qingyun Sect. Ninety percent of the disciples left at Lingyao Peak should be on high alert!"

"Second Elder, do you know Senior Brother Li Siyuan?" Xue'er asked curiously from behind.

Li Siyuan pulled down his cloak, and the boy's face could not be seen clearly under the cloak.

"Goodbye."

Li Siyuan did not respond to Xueer's question and turned away.

The Chief Law Enforcement sent someone to deliver the Second Elder's body to the Council of Elders. The explosive news that the Eighth Elder challenged the Second Elder for advancement and killed the Second Elder quickly spread within the sect.

The elders were shocked!

The Great Elder quickly summoned all the elders to the Elders' Pavilion for a meeting. However, in addition to him, the Great Elder, only the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder were present, a total of four people.

"Where is the Eighth Elder?" asked the Great Elder Cang Ting with a hint of anger on his face.

"I'm afraid he doesn't dare to come?"

The Third Elder seemed somewhat happy on the surface. Once the Second Elder died and if the Eighth Elder was held accountable and punished, then he, the Third Elder, would be the most qualified candidate to be promoted to the position of Second Elder!

Cang Ting's anger gradually subsided. He took a deep breath and said, "I wouldn't normally interfere with elders challenging each other to death, but the sect competition is about to begin tomorrow, and we need manpower right now. Why is this Old Eight so impatient?"

The Fourth Elder bowed and said, "First Elder, how about I take some people to capture the Eighth Elder and interrogate him?"

The Fifth Elder sneered, "Fourth Elder, he's the one who could even kill the Second Elder. Do you think you have the ability to capture him? Besides, Eighth Elder has been promoted to Second Elder now. You don't have the right to capture him, do you?"

The Fourth Elder was dissatisfied and said, "Humph! That was because the Second Elder underestimated the enemy. I used a little trick. With the Eighth Elder's limited intelligence, I wonder if I can't defeat him?"

Cang Ting waved his hand and interrupted, "Forget it. Over two hundred of his disciples have already reported to me. He's more popular than the Second Elder and is qualified to become the Second Elder. Let's just leave it at that. Tomorrow's sect competition, everyone go back and prepare. We must lure Li Siyuan out and kill him!"

"yes!"

The elders nodded.

The next morning, the Qingyun Sect square was crowded with people and noisy.

The disciples of the four Qingyun sects stood in neat and orderly formations in the square.

Except for Huang Zhenyi of Lingyao Peak and Shi Xiao of Jutao Peak, the other two branches were led by their respective chiefs.

In front of the disciples was the elders group headed by the great elder Cang Ting, as well as five hundred elder disciples.

The sect competition begins!

After Cang Ting watched the four Qingyun sects gather, he calmed the noise with a wave of his hand. He said, "In order to increase the competitiveness of the disciples in this sect competition, we have made some adjustments."

"To put it simply, this sect competition is divided into two rounds. The first is the Baicao Valley trial, and the second is the Qingyuntai competition."

"During the Baicao Valley Trial, four sects of disciples randomly enter the Baicao Valley to search for spiritual herbs. The time limit is half a day. Each disciple must obtain at least 100 third-grade spiritual herbs to pass and enter the next round of the competition. Otherwise, they will be eliminated."

"The disciple from each lineage who obtains the highest number of spiritual herbs will receive the first-place group honor award, which is a total of one thousand fifth-grade spiritual stones..."

When Cang Ting said this, the disciples were instantly in an uproar.

Fifth-grade spirit stone!

Lingshi is a very unique and rare mineral in the world. It contains infinite solidified energy. When absorbed and refined by Qi Refiners, it can directly precipitate spiritual energy, thereby improving their skills. It is a hot treasure for Qi Refiners in the Ninth Realm!

The higher the grade of the spirit stone, the deeper the improvement in skill will be.

A fifth-grade spirit stone, one spirit stone is estimated to increase the power of a Qi Refiner by fifty days!

One hundred pieces equals five thousand days, which means your skills can be improved by nearly thirteen years!

You can imagine the importance of this spirit stone.

"Spirit stones are scarce, and there aren't many left in our sect. To motivate you, we've invested heavily, so everyone, work hard."

"However, there are many monsters in Baicao Valley, and disciples can attack and fight each other, so casualties are inevitable. Everyone knows the rules, right?"

After Cang Ting finished speaking, the disciples of the four sects could no longer wait and shouted loudly, "Got it!"

But on the Lingyao Peak side, the disciples were waiting anxiously because they were still missing one person, Li Siyuan!

"Will Li Siyuan come? We have few people in Lingyao Peak. If Li Siyuan is gone, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!" Wu Hao said anxiously.

"Wait a little longer."

Zhang Ren frowned and clenched his fists.

On the eve of the sect competition, the Eighth Elder who had successfully challenged the Second Elder told Huang Zhenyi that something big would happen during the sect competition today, and asked him to leave 90% of his disciples at Lingyao Peak to guard the meridians and prepare for the battle.

The remaining 10% of the disciples came to participate in the sect competition, so the number of people in Lingyao Peak was very small.

If Li Siyuan were missing, it would indeed bring them great losses.

At this time, the Great Elder Cang Ting glanced towards Lingyao Peak and scanned the Lingyao Peak team.
