Chapter 194 Like to pretend? (Merge chapter)
"Master, everything has been done according to your instructions."
Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming came back first. They had basically dealt with those monks who had entered Qinglan Sect first.
Lu Yuan asked, "Did anything go wrong along the way?"
"No."
With the elixir, things can be done more easily. It is not difficult to capture these wandering cultivators who are watching the fun. As soon as they handed out the Qi and Blood Pills, those cultivators' eyes lit up instantly and they became very easy to talk to.
Yao Xuan and Zhang Feifei had almost finished their work at the foot of the mountain and returned.
They said that there was no problem with the new monks who had come in from the foot of the mountain, and that 90% of the spectators at the scene were their undercover supporters.
These people might have bet on Shangguan Yanran when they were betting at Wanmiao Tower, but they would support Xiao Huo when they were cheering on the spot.
Betting on Shangguan Yanran is just one-sided because Shangguan Yanran has a high winning rate and it is easy to make money, that's all.
The reason for supporting Xiao Huo on the spot is also very simple. Who can blame Daluo Sect for giving more? There is no conflict between betting on Shangguan Yanran to earn spiritual stones and supporting Xiao Huo on the spot to earn elixirs, so these spectators can have both.
The time was almost up, and it was soon approaching noon. The popularity of Yunlan Peak reached its peak, and Xiao Huo also set off.
This three-year agreement should come to an end.
Xiao Huo took a deep breath and stepped onto the fighting trial platform built by the Qinglan Sect. As the figure of the young man in black suddenly rose up, he stepped onto the trial platform.
Xiao Huo's voice also spread throughout the Qinglan Sect.
"Xiao Huo of the Xiao family has come to fulfill the three-year agreement. Where is Shangguan Yanran? Come down and die."
Xiao Huo's voice was loud and full of energy. Moreover, in the Qinglan Sect, there were disciples of the Qinglan Sect everywhere. He was not at all stage-frightened in front of Shangguan Yanran's junior brothers and sisters. The young man's edge was fully revealed at this moment.
Xiao Huo was obviously a little excited. After all, in the eyes of others, this might just be a show, but the three-year agreement was a shame that he had suppressed in his heart for three years, and today he could finally release it.
Xiao Huo asked Shangguan Yanran to step down and die.
Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Shangguan Yanran did not appear on the scene, but instead aroused the dissatisfaction of an inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect.
The inner sect elder frowned fiercely, and his face darkened when he heard Xiao Huo's words. He then slammed the table and slapped Xiao Huo with one hand before the fight.
"You little brat, how can we allow you to be so rampant in Yunlan Peak Holy Land? How dare you curse my disciple?"
This inner sect elder was Shangguan Yanran's master when she first entered Qinglan Sect. It was he who brought Shangguan Yanran into Qinglan Sect. The two had been master and apprentice for seven or eight years. It was not until a few years ago that Shangguan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by the sect master and became his disciple.
Even so, he and Shangguan Yanran had a deep relationship as master and disciple. Now Xiao Huo was so arrogant that he asked Shangguan Yanran to die in front of him. How could this elder not be angry? He took action first, and slapped Xiao Huo with the power of the ninth level of the golden elixir.
Xiao Huo saw that the Jindan elder attacked him first, but he was not afraid. He was also angry towards the Qinglan Sect elder in his heart. He slapped out with one palm, and he actually dared to attack him directly.
"Daluo Creation Palm!"
This palm strike was powerful and had terrifying energy. It collided with the palm strike of the ninth-level Jindan inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect. Unexpectedly, it was not inferior at all and took the palm strike of the ninth-level Jindan inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect head-on.
"What?"
"Xiao Huo was able to catch the elder's palm?"
Xiao Huo took on the ninth level of the Golden Core Palm Technique, and sounds of astonishment rang out from all around, especially from the Qinglan Sect disciples, who simply couldn't believe their eyes.
Because Shangguan Yanran is not only the senior sister of the Qinglan Sect's inner sect, but also the dream lover of tens of thousands of young male disciples of the Qinglan Sect, the news of Shangguan Yanran and Xiao Huo's three-year agreement spread throughout the Qinglan Sect very early on.
Disciples of Qinglan Sect had been discussing this matter as early as two or three years ago, but every time they discussed it, they felt that Xiao Huo was overestimating his own abilities and was trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.
After all, the disciples of Qinglan Sect certainly support Shangguan Yanran. Secondly, they think that Xiao Huo has no resources, so what strength can a disciple of a small family have? Senior Sister Shangguan is the number one in the inner sect who even their fellow disciples cannot defeat.
He is just a kid from a small family, young and energetic. It is just a dream to think that he can defeat Senior Sister Shangguan.
Before the three-year agreement began, all the disciples of Qinglan Sect thought so, thinking that the three-year agreement was just a joke, and that Xiao Huo would only make a fool of himself if he dared to come. However, they never expected that Xiao Huo was so strong.
He was actually able to take a palm strike from a ninth-level Jindan elder head-on. Although it was just a casual strike and he didn't use any real magical powers, it was terrifying enough that he could take it.
Xiao Huo: "Why, Qinglan Sect only knows how to bully the weak? I won't fight you, let Shangguan Yanran get out of here."
After Xiao Huo took the palm from the inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect, he sneered and mocked the elder of Qinglan Sect for bullying the weak and being disrespectful.
The inner sect elder whose palm technique was caught suddenly felt that he had lost face and became even angrier.
"You little bastard, you have no respect for your elders. Since your father won't teach you, I will teach you a lesson on his behalf."
The inner sect elder flew into a rage, and this time he decided to teach Xiao Huo a lesson first to dampen his arrogance.
This time, the inner sect elder got serious and poured out the ninth level of golden elixir power. This palm strike was more than ten times more powerful than the previous one.
"Little bastard, today I will let you know what it means to respect your teachers!"
The ninth level of the Golden Core blasted out with a palm strike, the power was so terrifying that it caused an uproar among the onlookers.
"The three-year agreement hasn't even started yet. Is Xiao Huo going to be killed by the Qinglan Sect?"
"That's not the case. We should just teach him a lesson and dampen his enthusiasm. After all, today's events have a huge impact. It's mainly about the battle between Xiao Huo and Shangguan Yanran. If Xiao Huo is killed by the elders of Qinglan Sect, it will inevitably lead to gossip. However, Xiao Huo is indeed a bit harsh in his words. I guess he will be taught a lesson."
With a palm strike from the ninth level of the golden elixir, Xiao Huo's pupils shrank.
With his cultivation level having just broken through to the Golden Core stage, it would be difficult for him to resist. As he was retreating explosively, a sword energy emanated from behind Xiao Huo along with a cold snort.
The sword energy came directly from behind Xiao Huo and swept across the golden elixir in front of him.
This sword energy directly shattered the palm of the inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect. After breaking the palm technique, the sword energy went towards the face of the elder of Qinglan Sect who had issued the palm.
The sword energy was so powerful that it seemed that it was about to kill the inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect directly. However, just as the sword energy was about to touch the inner sect elder's nose, the overbearing sword energy suddenly dissipated.
Looking at this scene, the inner sect elder who had just taken action broke out in a cold sweat.
An expert can tell whether it is good or not at one glance.
The person who emitted this sword energy was definitely extremely powerful, far surpassing him.
If that man had been more serious, he would have died.
This level of strength is not something that an ordinary Nascent Soul can achieve. Is he a Spiritual Transformation expert? All the Jindan elders present in the Qinglan Sect stood up, even the Nascent Soul of the Qinglan Sect stood at attention.
The leader of Qinglan Sect also stood up.
After all, there is not a single person who has reached the state of god transformation in their entire Qinglan Sect.
"Who is this expert?"
Lu Yuan's voice floated over.
"The elders of Qinglan Sect are bullying the weak. Are they bullying my disciple because he has no master behind him? Once a master, always a father. Xiao Huo worships me as his master, so I am his second father. Are you qualified to teach my son?
The sword energy just now was just a small punishment. Today's matter is a battle between Shangguan Yanran and my disciple Xiao Huo. If others want to intervene, don't blame me for being rude. "
Lu Yuan appeared from behind Xiao Huo, and it was naturally him who had just made the move.
Originally, Lu Yuan didn't want to take action. After all, the three-year agreement was a matter between the younger generation. He was Xiao Huo's master, and one generation older than Shangguan Yanran. He didn't need to take action regardless of winning or losing.
But the elders of Qinglan Sect wanted to dampen Xiao Huo's spirit before the three-year agreement. An old fellow who had lived for thousands of years and was at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm had no shame at all and attacked Xiao Huo. Was Lu Yuan going to sit back and watch?
He also said things like "I didn't learn anything from my father", which was really touching Lu Yuan's bottom line. As the saying goes, one should not insult someone's parents when insulting him. Lu Yuan was also Xiao Huo's master. Once a teacher, a father for life. This shot also accidentally injured Lu Yuan.
Can Lu Yuan let him go?
How can I allow you to bully my disciple? When the elders of Qinglan Sect saw that it was Lu Yuan who attacked, they immediately became nervous.
"I was blinded by my own ignorance of the young hero. It turns out that Young Master Xiao is actually Sect Master Lu's disciple. I was wrong. I apologize to Sect Master Lu and Young Master Xiao!"
The inner sect elder of Qinglan Sect who had just taken action immediately backed down when he saw Lu Yuan for the first time.
He knew Lu Yuan. Qinglan Sect and Daluo Sect had previously cooperated in the medicine business, and Lu Yuan had come to Qinglan Sect at that time.
Later, in the ancient blood domain, in front of the Shenshu Immortal Palace, he also saw with his own eyes Lu Yuan display his divine power, fighting against several gods alone and killing the Demon Heart Sect Leader.
Lu Yuan's strength is there. Now that he really shows up, who dares to act rashly?
After all, whether this Sect Leader Lu really has the ability to kill a deity alone is debatable. After all, no one knew at the time whether the Demon Heart Sect Leader had any problems beforehand and whether Lu Yuan had taken advantage of him.
But at least one thing is certain, even if Lu Yuan does not have the strength to kill a god alone, he at least has the strength to become a god.
As long as he is a deity, Qinglan Sect cannot afford to offend him.
The elders and the leader of the Qinglan Sect quickly said that it was a misunderstanding. The elder who had just made the move also quickly changed the title from little beast to young hero, which was very sensible.
Lu Yuan said, "It's getting late. Let Shangguan Yanran come out. My disciple has been waiting here for a long time. Is Shangguan Yanran from your Qinglan Sect asleep? If she doesn't come in one minute, she will be deemed to have forfeited."
Lu Yuan couldn't wait any longer.
I have been waiting here for quite a while, and you are more arrogant than me? You have not come out for quite a while, because there is no referee in this match. If there was a referee, you would have given up long ago.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lu Yuan's words really worked.
Shangguan Yanran didn't dare to put on airs anymore. Soon, a graceful figure in white flew down from the Yunlan Peak, falling from a high place like a fairy from the sky descending to the mortal world.
"Shangguan Yanran is here!"
When the people from the Alchemist Alliance saw Shangguan Yanran officially enter the venue, they immediately gestured to the onlookers in the venue, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and raise your signs!" The onlookers finally reacted, and with Shangguan Yanran's entry, the competition officially began.
People from all directions immediately raised their cheering signs.
"Come on, Xiao Huo!"
Countless signs appeared in the venue, all engraved with the words "Come on Xiao Huo!"
As soon as these signs came out, everyone in the Alchemist Alliance was dumbfounded, and Shangguan Huai's face turned green.
He looked at his men angrily.
"What are you doing?"
I asked you to issue a sign to support Shangguan Yanran, but you supported Xiao Huo? Traitor?
The people of the Alchemist Alliance were speechless. When they issued the sign, the words "Shangguan Yanran" were indeed written on it. How could this happen? They would never have thought of why the result was like this.
After catching the person holding the sign and asking him, they found out that the price offered by Daluo Sect was higher than theirs.
They gave out half a pill, while others gave out a whole bottle, which directly won over the entire audience.
Shangguan Huai looked at Lu Yuan in the distance with bloodshot eyes.
"Damn Daluo Sect!"
Shangguan Yanran entered the venue gracefully, flying high and low. She flew down directly from the highest point of Yunlan Peak, as majestic as a fairy from the sky.
Xiao Huo looked at Shangguan Yanran flying down, feeling contempt in his heart.
This woman is still the same as she was three years ago. She thinks she is of noble birth, is spoiled, and likes to show off.
When she came to the Xiao family three years ago, she also made a huge show. At that time, she borrowed the power of Qinglan Sect and brought two Jindan elders. She used the aura of the Jindan elders to suppress the entire Xiao family hall, making the entire Xiao family unable to raise their heads.
The war is imminent, and you still dare to act cool? I'll let you act cool!
Xiao Huo didn't waste any time and took action directly.
He just pulled out the huge ruler from behind him. The huge black ruler was pulled out by him, and he chopped it towards Shangguan Yanran who had not fallen to the ground for a long time.
"Fire Burning Sky Ruler!"
As the ruler was swung out, a blazing fire appeared on the ruler. The purple fire transformed into an ancient ferocious beast along with the giant ruler, baring its fangs towards Shangguan Yanran and biting her.
Shangguan Yanran was startled when she saw Xiao Huo coming towards her.
You have no moral principles. You're attacking me before I even landed on the ground? Shangguan Yanran could only draw her sword in a hurry to block. However, how could a hasty attack be better than Xiao Huo's full strength and anger? Xiao Huo's one foot directly knocked Shangguan Yanran away. The moment the two swords touched, Shangguan Yanran felt a huge and terrifying pressure on her hand. The spirit sword in Shangguan Yanran's hand vibrated, and she almost couldn't hold the sword. The whole person was directly smashed out of the field by the one foot.
Seeing that Shangguan Yanran was about to fall out of the stage, everyone was in an uproar.
"Ah? Are we going to lose now?"
"This is just the beginning, it won't be over in one move, right?"
"No, I've taken all of Shangguan Yanran's money."
"Why the hell do you have to act so pretentious? If you float down from the sky, I'll beat you up, you bastard!"
Some people bet all in on Shangguan Yanran to win, but now they saw her being beaten into such a mess after just one fight. She could barely hold her shuriken, and a group of people started cursing at her. They were so disappointed.
If they were eliminated like this, then it would definitely be a fake match, and those spectators would attack the Qinglan Sect afterwards.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yanran was quite capable in battle. Just when she was about to fall out of the trial field, she used the Wind Spirit Sword Technique. The sword technique turned into a gust of wind that swept across her body, pushing her back.
And at this moment, Shangguan Yanran was able to gain a firm foothold in the field.
However, before Shangguan Yanran could breathe a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw that Xiao Huo's giant ruler was less than three inches away from her.
As soon as he landed, he was hit in the face with another powerful Fiery Sky Ruler.
"Shangguan Yanran, prepare to die!"
Shangguan Yanran was horrified. This kid didn't give her any time to breathe! Time was urgent, and Shangguan Yanran responded hastily. This time she raised her sword to block. Although she used the Wind Spirit Sword Technique, in a hurry, the Wind Spirit Sword Technique could only block the attack and could not defeat the enemy.
Moreover, after taking Xiao Huo's full force, Shangguan Yanran could no longer hold the sword in her hand. Her Fengling Sword slipped out of her hand and was knocked away.
After only two rounds of fighting, Shangguan Yanran's weapon was knocked away by Xiao Huo.
Shangguan Yanran's weapon dropped from her hand, and she looked visibly panicked.
Damn it, I'm not ready yet! Xiao Huo was also stunned when he saw Shangguan Yanran's weapons flying out.
I didn't expect Shangguan Yanran to be so unprepared. Her weapons were gone after just two encounters.
Xiao Huo couldn't help but sneer: "Shangguan Yanran, why are you so weak?"
In the past three years, Xiao Huo has always regarded Shangguan Yanran as his biggest enemy, but now that he really takes action, he did not expect that Shangguan Yanran is much weaker than he had imagined all these years.
Shangguan Yanran was not convinced: "I'm not ready yet, you're attacking by surprise!"
"A sneak attack? I entered first, giving you enough time to prepare. You took a long time to come, and now you say I am a sneak attack? It turns out that your brain is just as sick as it was three years ago."
Xiao Huo didn't give her any face and just started to attack her, leaving Shangguan Yanran stunned.
This was the first time in her life that she had been scolded like this.
Shangguan Yanran was extremely ashamed and angry.
"Xiao Huo, I will kill you today."
After saying that, Shangguan Yanran suddenly attacked.
"Wind Spirit Palm!"
