Chapter 711: The First Time in a Thousand Years
Yi Heng rushed into the secret realm and stood opposite Si Ling.
He stood with his hands behind his back, assuming the dignified demeanor of a distinguished and upright person, and said in a deep voice:
"Little kid, I see that your cultivation level doesn't match your body shape. I'm afraid... this isn't your true form, is it?"
At this point, he deliberately raised his voice:
"Where are you from?"
Suddenly, people outside the light curtain started whispering.
"No wonder!" A gray-robed monk suddenly realized, "I was wondering how a seven or eight-year-old kid could have such strength!"
Someone next to him immediately answered:
"It's really strange. It's said that the method of forming a formation out of the void just now requires at least a hundred years of cultivation to master..."
"Could it be a possession?" A young disciple lowered his voice, "I heard that some evil cultivators specifically target young children..."
"Hush!" his companion exclaimed hastily, "Keep your voice down! But..."
The man stole a glance at everyone in Tianyi Sect:
"If it is really a possession, then Tianyi Sect is..."
Discussions gradually arose, and more and more people joined in the speculation.
"I don't think it looks like a possession." An elderly monk stroked his beard and said, "It looks more like... a demon taking shape?"
"Monster?!" The people around gasped.
"That's right!" the monk vowed, "Only a powerful demon could hide its aura so perfectly!"
"But isn't it forbidden for demon cultivators to participate in the Xuanmen Conference?"
"That's why she disguised herself as a little doll!"
The voices of doubt grew louder and louder, and many cultivators looked at Tianyi Sect with hostility, and some even shouted loudly:
"Please ask the Zhengyang Sect to verify this person's true identity!"
"If it is really a monster, it must be severely punished!"
"I'm afraid the Tianyi Sect is colluding with the demon clan!"
Feng Yin was furious and pointed at those people and wanted to fight back, but suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd:
"Eh? Why can't I see it?"
"What happened? Why did the light curtain turn gray?"
"Did anyone see what happened?"
"...I was staring at the screen the entire time, and I saw Sect Master Yi was about to make a move, and then the screen went gray..."
Feng Yin didn't bother to argue with anyone and hurriedly looked at the light curtain. Sure enough, he saw only a gray haze on it and couldn't see anything clearly.
"Senior Yun, this..." He couldn't help but look at Yun Qingqing.
Lin Xiuzhu also looked worried:
"What happened? Sect Master...will she be okay?"
Yun Qingqing stared at the light screen expressionlessly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes:
"Don't worry, he will only suffer the consequences if he does this."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang".
Yi Hengchong's figure flew out from the stone gate and fell heavily to the ground.
He was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and there was still fear on his face.
Wisps of black air seeped out from his wound, looking particularly strange.
Almost at the same time, the Tianming Bell emitted a long humming sound, and the mist on the light screen dissipated, revealing the figure of a silver-haired girl with her clothes not messed up. Then, there was a flash of light, and Si Ling appeared outside the stone gate.
The light curtain and stone door slowly disappeared.
"hiss……"
Everyone took a breath and fell silent.
Feng Yin finally felt relieved, snorted coldly and looked at the people who had just spoken:
"Did you hear that? The Tianming Bell rang seven times, seven times!"
Someone came to his senses and said unconvincedly:
"What does that mean..."
Elder Tianshu interrupted loudly:
"Firstly, both the Tianming Bell and the Martial Arts Secret Realm were jointly created by powerful Xuanmen masters thousands of years ago. They will verify the identity of those entering. If you do not meet the qualifications, you will not be able to enter at all!"
"Secondly, after the challenge begins, the Tianming Bell will ring seven more times, announcing the success of the challenge! This time, the young master of Tianyi Sect wins!"
After saying this, he looked directly at Yi Hengchong with his sharp eyes and asked:
"Master Yi, am I right? If you still feel there is a problem, would you like me, the Seven Stars Palace, to help you start the Inquiry Bureau?"
“…”
Yi Hengchong's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
The Conscience Formation is inside the Seven Stars Hall and cannot be moved, but how come he doesn’t know that there is a new Conscience Formation in the Qi Men Dun Jia!
But Qimen Dunjia is the unique skill of the Seven Stars Palace, and he didn't dare to take the risk.
The black energy from his wounds was still faintly visible, but he did not suppress it deliberately in order to gain the upper hand in public opinion, causing onlookers to question the strange little girl and invalidate the challenge.
Including just now in the secret realm, he secretly activated the "artifact" to block the light curtain outside, in order to cover up the means he used to kill.
After all, this little kid is ridiculously strong, so that's the only method we can use.
But I didn't expect that the little kid would suddenly burst out with a terrifying pressure. If I hadn't escaped quickly, rushed to the exit before the strange formation took shape, and used the magic weapon to protect myself, I would have almost died in there!
What is the origin of this damn monster!
But no matter how unwilling he was, now that the Seven Star Palace had gotten involved, once the Inquiry Bureau began...
Yi Hengchong took a deep breath, urged his spiritual power to suppress the black energy around him, gritted his teeth and said:
"Please do not speculate. This black energy is due to my inferior skills and inner demons... As for the result of the competition, it should be determined according to the indication of the Tianming Bell..."
"Tianyi Sect wins!"
All those who had just questioned Si Ling fell silent.
At this moment, everyone didn’t know how to describe it. This was the first time in the Xuanmen Conference in a thousand years!
The organizer lost the qualification to participate before the competition even started!
And it was taken away by an unknown small sect that appeared for the first time!
From today on, Tianyi Sect will soar to the sky!
Even though everyone still had doubts about Si Ling, they didn't dare to say anything more. After all, the organizer, Sect Master Yi, was already a top figure standing at the top of the Xuanmen Tower. He had already admitted defeat, so how could others have the right to interrupt?
Only Feng Yin was still not satisfied, he crossed his arms and sneered:
"Isn't that the light curtain thing..."
Yun Qingqing's voice suddenly appeared in his mind and interrupted:
"The light curtain was blocked by Sect Master Yi. Now is not the time to pursue the matter."
"Oh..." Feng Yin coughed lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
He has always had a sharp mind. Since Senior Yun knew what was going on, he must have made a plan.
"Let's go." Yun Qingqing signaled Lin Xiuzhu to take the black iron token representing the qualification to attend the meeting from the disciple of Zhengyang Sect, and walked towards the mountain gate.
The teams from the Qixing Palace and the Tianxuan Sect followed behind the Tianyi Sect, and the other sects automatically lined up behind them when they saw this.
The host lost, and the two major sects were willing to lag behind.
Who dares to steal the limelight at this time?
…
…
At the top of the main peak of Tianyu Mountain, the afternoon sun shines on the huge circular conference venue.
The ground, paved with green jade, exudes a warm luster. Seventy-two dragon-shaped pillars stand majestically around it, and the spiritual beads suspended on the top of the pillars emit a soft light.
The seats of the Zhengyang Sect were empty, with only a few disciples maintaining order with stiff expressions.
Yi Hengchong, who was supposed to be sitting in the main seat, was nowhere to be seen, leaving only an elder in charge who forced a smile to preside over the meeting.
At present, the position of Zhengyang Sect has been adjusted. The core position that originally belonged to them has now been replaced by the flag of Tianyi Sect. This glaring change makes every entrant unable to help but take a second look.
There are two main seats in Tianyi Sect. One of them is occupied by a girl with silver hair and silver eyes. There is an empty seat on her left.
Yun Qingqing was currently in a hidden forest outside the mountain gate, drawing a temporary teleportation array on the ground.
After a moment, the formation's dim light lit up, and Chu Jingyan appeared.
"My Lord." He walked out of the formation, bowed, and handed over a small, simple black iron furnace. "I brought the things."
