Jiang Deng did not act rashly again, and time soon came to the day when the sect ranking battle began.
Murong Feiran, the domain master, showed up briefly and left, saying that he would come back on the day of the finals. Only Ying Fuhao, the head of the Jile Sect, was left to take charge of the situation.
Jiang Deng thought this man looked very familiar. Wasn't this the old man who had tried to snatch the ghost mask from her but failed and now wanted to kill her for the treasure?
I didn’t expect that he was the chief leader of the Paradise Cult?
Tsk, with the fourth apprentice being the crooked top beam, the bottom beams aren’t straight either.
This made Jiang Deng even more determined. In order not to reveal his identity in front of Ying Fu Hao, he could not easily use "Ten Thousand Lights" with the Qingluan True Flame!
The competitions in the past few days were relatively boring. The opponents of Taichu Sword Sect were all relatively weaker sects. Among these sects, there were very few cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm, let alone the Nascent Soul Realm.
Although the Taichu Sword Sect only sent out Group B, Group B included two Jindan-level cultivators, Jiang Zhiling and Feng Jiuyou, as well as a veteran like Xiao Yan whose strength far exceeded that of a foundation-building cultivator. The competition could be said to be going smoothly.
Thanks to this group, the Taichu Sword Sect successfully survived the elimination round. After training in one match after another, Jiang Zhiling's strength also improved rapidly, and her swordsmanship was greatly improved.
Time soon came to the penultimate game, and the opponent was Lingxiao Sect.
As one of the three major sects, the strength of Lingxiao Sect is not much worse than that of Taichu Sword Sect. There is also a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in the team, that is, Sun Fei's mother Sun Caimo.
The rest are mostly disciples at the Jindan stage, and their overall strength is not weak.
The Taichu Sword Sect naturally did not dare to underestimate them and decisively sent Jiang Deng and others from Group A to compete.
The people from the two sects stood up from the viewing seats and headed towards the huge martial arts stage in the center.
Just before he was about to step onto the stage, Ying Ziru suddenly stopped. His gaze fell on one of the Lingxiao Sect disciples, and bloodshot eyes gradually appeared.
Shi Zihang wondered, "Brother Ying, why don't you leave?"
Hearing this, Jiang Deng also noticed the movements here. Following Ying Ziru's gaze, he first felt that the disciple of Lingxiao Sect looked quite familiar, and then his heart skipped a beat.
Not good, she might suffer...
"Ahem!" Jiang Deng coughed softly and reminded, "Ying Ziru, be quiet. It's our turn to go on stage."
Ying Ziru ignored Jiang Deng and quickly stepped forward to block the Lingxiao Sect disciple. With red eyes, he said, "Why are you wearing my spiritual weapon? Take it off now!"
The Lingxiao Sect disciple who was stopped by Ying Ziru was named Kong Hao, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm. He was completely confused after hearing what Ying Ziru said.
"Are you sick? This is the spiritual weapon I bought with my own money. When did it become yours?"
Ying Ziru grabbed Kong Hao's arm and insisted, "The spiritual weapons on you were originally mine! Tell me, where did you buy these spiritual weapons?"
Kong Hao held up two fingers and said with a pained look on his face, "I bought it from the Gold and Stone Auction House. It cost me over two thousand spirit stones!"
"Jinshi Auction House? Damn Li Lailai, he actually sold my spiritual weapon!"
Ying Ziru gritted his teeth. If he had known that the demon cultivator Li Lailai would appear at the Jinshi Auction House, he would not have given the invitation to Jiang Deng. Wouldn't it be better for him to capture Li Lailai himself?
Jiang Deng, who was standing by, noticed that Ying Ziru was so busy being angry at Li Lailai that she probably didn't connect the two of them together, so she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
To prevent Ying Ziru from figuring this out, Jiang Deng quickly walked over and said, "Alright, alright, the competition is more important. We can talk about anything after the competition."
Ying Ziru walked towards the martial arts arena while staring at Kong Hao, "These spiritual weapons originally belonged to me. I will definitely take them off you later!"
"Which clinic was open, allowing this psychopath to escape?"
Kong Hao muttered something and also went up to the martial arts stage.
Ten people from the Taichu Sword Sect and the Lingxiao Sect each participated in the competition, and the two sides stood at the two ends of the martial arts stage.
Everyone in the Taichu Sword Sect is a sword cultivator. Xia Chenqing and the other eight people simultaneously made a sword flower, and as they moved their bodies swiftly, they formed a sword formation.
Only Jiang Deng and Lin Jun were like mavericks, standing on both sides of the martial arts stage, holding their swords with indifferent expressions, and had no intention of cooperating with the others.
Everyone from the Taichu Sword Sect: "..."
They had no way to deal with these two troublemakers.
A few days ago, when they were practicing sword formations under Jiang Roushui's leadership, these two people didn't get along. Not only did they not cooperate at all, they often fought over just one word.
In the end, in order to prevent these two troublemakers from messing up the sword formation, Jiang Roushui had to give them a break and rehearse a sword formation suitable for eight people with the remaining eight people.
As for Jiang Deng and Lin Jun?
Anyway, these two guys are strong, so instead of replacing them with two weaker ones, it’s better to just make do with them.
At this time, Jiang Roushui was sitting in the audience.
Looking at Jiang Deng and Lin Jun who were clearly out of sync on the stage, he could only sigh. The Sect Master was very concerned about the outcome of this competition, so he must not let it fall on his hands...
Unlike the somewhat loose formation of the Taichu Sword Sect, the Lingxiao Sect on the opposite side is obviously much more organized than this side.
Everyone in Lingxiao Sect is a cultivator of magic. Sun Caimo, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, is in the middle. Qiu Song, the second strongest, is on the same level as Sun Caimo. Although his cultivation is not as strong as that of the Nascent Soul stage, he is at the peak of the Core Formation stage.
Looking at Jiang Deng and Lin Jun who were at odds with each other, Qiu Song's eyes flashed with understanding, and he said to his fellow apprentices beside him, "Did you see them?"
"This man and woman are definitely not on good terms. They are completely incompatible with the sword formation displayed by the Taichu Sword Sect. Clearly, the breakthrough point of this match lies with these two."
"Listen to me, I'll attack them both later. I'm sure the Taichu Sword Sect's sword formation will collapse on its own!"
Hearing this, the fellow disciples of the Lingxiao Sect nodded thoughtfully, "Senior Brother Qiu, what you said makes sense..."
Sun Caimo frowned unhappily, "Am I the captain, or are you?"
Qiu Song sneered, "What do you know? Listen to me!"
Even though Sun Caimo has reached the Nascent Soul stage, it stands to reason that she could easily kill Qiu Song if she wanted to. However, Qiu Song is not only not afraid, but also very arrogant.
This is all thanks to his good father.
Although his father is not the head of Lingxiao Sect, he is the grand elder of Lingxiao Sect and has great power in the sect.
As long as the current leader of Lingxiao Sect dies, his father will be able to take over. As long as he waits for a few more years until his father dies, he will be the leader of Lingxiao Sect!
Why would he be afraid of Sun Caimo, a female cultivator?
After all, this was the Feiran Spiritual Territory, where Territory Master Murong was extremely hostile to female cultivators. Sun Caimo, a woman, still wanted to become the Sect Leader? She was dreaming!
