"Kunlun, Qiu Changtian, wins!"
After the Jade List determined that Qiu Changtian was the winner, the surroundings were silent for dozens of breaths, and then some violent and noisy noise arose.
It wasn't because everyone was dissatisfied with Qiu Dachu taking the top spot, but because the onlookers didn't really understand how Qiu Changtian defeated An Zhisu in the end.
In fact, any cultivator who was not too short-sighted could see that An Zhisu had really tried his best in this decisive battle and maximized his advantage.
What are Qiu Changtian's advantages? His true essence is strong and his Taoism is powerful. Fighting a protracted war with him is a death wish.
The Shushan cultivators were not without knowledge of the fact that a quick victory was necessary, but all of them tried to kill Qiu Changtian at the beginning, and then were beaten to death by him instead.
From beginning to end, no Shushan cultivator's flying sword could gain the upper hand in a head-on flying sword confrontation with Qiu Changtian.
Only An Zhisu fully utilized the advantage of the Shushan Sword Immortal's multitasking ability, using his two-handed sword-wielding skills and the Cloud Bagua Step to forge a thrilling "three-line attack" situation, and finally broke through to Qiu Changtian's close range, seizing the opportunity to turn the tables.
But he was killed in the final blow... What's more important is that no one could understand how he was killed. Who can be happy about this?
The monks from Penglai can.
After a while, the Penglai monks who were watching began to cheer and applaud one after another, and everyone was very excited.
People in Kunlun were still whispering, not because they were trying to maintain the reserved character of the disciples of a big sect, but because they were not sure whether An Zhisu was really defeated by Chief Qiu.
What if An Zhisu was actually poisoned, sick, possessed, or had given in because he had seen through the world?
If we start shouting "Chief Qiu is invincible" now, and then find out that An Zhisu has met with an accident, wouldn't that bring bad luck to Chief Qiu?
People in Shushan were also whispering to each other, but it was clear that no one was in a happy mood, and many even felt as if they had lost their parents.
The chief of Kunlun defeated the chief of Shushan. In the eyes of the outside world, doesn't it prove that Shushan is not as good as Kunlun? This is the first.
The swordsman was about to succeed in his assassination, so how did he suddenly turn victory into defeat? I don't understand it at all. This is the second one.
The Kunlun disciples just insulted Shushan, and the Shushan disciples almost had a conflict with them. Then Qiu Changtian took first place. Isn't that a slap in everyone's face? This is the most important third place.
Because they were slapped in the face, the Shushan monks did not want to stay here, so they flew away from the Baiyujing secret realm on their swords.
An Zhisu, who came in second, was ignored as if he were a criminal of the sect. After being reborn by the secret realm mechanism, he stood there lostly with a mixed look on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Senior Sister!" Ling Yunpo, who had planned this, immediately rushed over, held An Zhisu's arm, and asked with concern, "Senior Sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay." An Zhisu shook her head and looked at him with a complicated look, "Let's go back."
Lingyunpo:?
Somehow, although Senior Sister An seemed normal now, she gave him a strange feeling.
It's just like Xiaolan in "Detective Conan" who stares at Conan and smiles.
Although she didn't say it, that expression clearly said "Shinichi, I recognized you", which made people feel creepy.
Wait, did I reveal something?
Let’s not talk about how to deal with Ling Yunpo on the future line at this time.
In short, although the audience didn’t understand it, Qiu Changtian finally won the first place in Baiyujing.
After he calmly left the stage, Kunlun's Miaofa Zhenren went up to the square and slapped the jade list, on which the rankings of this Baiyujing competition appeared.
The top twelve players in Baiyujing, from first to twelfth, are Qiu Changtian, An Zhisu, Ling Yunpo, Xu Yinglian, Luo Yan, Guan Shanyue, Duan Fenhai, Lin Duanshan, Guan Zhan, Bisheng, Yan Zhitui, and Shi Liuli.
Among the top twelve, half are from Shushan, and three of them are in the top six. This shows that Shushan is still the main force of the Orthodox Church in the war.
However, among the so-called "super products" in the top three, Qiu Changtian took the lead; and among the "top products", that is, the fourth to the sixth places, Xu Yinglian again dominated the whole field.
The feeling given is that, although the overall combat effectiveness of Kunlun's generation of young cultivators is not as good as that of Shushan, their high-end combat power is far superior to that of Shushan.
As for Penglai, it just came here to make up the numbers. The important thing is to participate, so there is no need to talk more.
In short, the results of this righteous competition have met the expectations of all three factions: Kunlun will take the top spot, Shushan will take half, and Penglai will be considered successful as long as it crosses the finish line. Everyone is very satisfied with the result.
As for An Zhisu missing out on the top spot in the end... that was the fault of the Sword Master Mowing the Grass, and it does not affect the reputation of Shushan.
Among the top twelve, our Shushan accounts for half!
Without further ado, with the official end of the righteous competition, the Baiyujing secret realm was also closed.
Most of the orthodox disciples still stayed in Tianmu Mountain, visiting each other, making friends, and discussing the results of this competition.
As for the collective return to the sect’s headquarters, they will have to wait until three days later - this is the time specially reserved by the three sects for the young talents to communicate.
As Qiu Changtian was the top-ranked in the competition, his residence was almost always filled with guests. There was an endless stream of people coming to visit him, which made this "chief of the righteous path" overwhelmed and exhausted.
Fortunately, Master Ziwei arrived and quickly rescued him from the sea of suffering.
"Qiu Changtian, Xu Yinglian, Guan Zhan, Yan Zhitui." He pointed out the four disciples who made it to the top twelve, waved his whisk, and said calmly, "Follow me."
The four of them followed Master Ziwei and returned to the entrance of the Baiyujing secret realm.
I saw that Yujing Sect Leader Ling Yunpo, An Zhisu and six other Shushan Sect Leaders, and Xuandu Sect Leader Luo Yan and Shi Liuli were already waiting at the entrance.
The head of Xuandu took out a lightning bead and threw it at the rock at the entrance. The rock then shattered again, revealing a gate to the secret realm that looked like a curtain of water.
"You are the top twelve of the Baiyujing competition. After entering the secret realm, stand in the twelve pavilions according to the order of the competition." Ziwei Sect Master instructed, "After standing in place, you must carefully note any unusual movements in the secret realm and report them to the sect after you come out."
"Disciple obeys the order." Qiu Changtian took the lead and responded.
Afterwards, everyone entered the Baiyujing secret realm one after another according to their ranking in the competition.
"The Demon Cult didn't make any unusual moves this time." After all twelve people entered the secret realm, Master Yujing suddenly said.
"Other sects don't mention it, but Hell Dao can't just sit there and watch." Xuandu Sect Master also said calmly, "Even if they don't take action, with their style, they will definitely come in and take a peek at the secrets of Baiyujing Secret Realm."
“Among the twelve people, there must be a hidden spy from Hell.” Master Ziwei said slowly.
"It's impossible for them to come from Penglai." Master Xuandu said slowly, "I can confirm that Luo and Shi have nothing to do with Hell."
"They can't possibly be from Shushan either." The head of Yujing also said in a deep voice, "The immortal has personally seen these six disciples."
The head of Ziwei Sect was silent. If he is not from Penglai or Shushan, could he be from Kunlun? Ridiculous!
When will the hidden players in Hell be identified in advance by the headmaster and the immortals?
