Chapter 120
When the competition started, the monks sitting in the spectator seats were no longer focused on the competition. They stood up one after another and started socializing.
Many gazes fell on Su Jinzhou, and Ji Tang was also swept back and forth by those gazes.
Gu Yan was instructing his young disciple Xue Ningqi, "Save some energy for the preliminaries. Did you see that young disciple of mine? He's nothing to be afraid of. Just give him a try."
Ji Tang turned his attention from those gazes to his junior brother's words, "Ben Luomen?"
Gu Yan yawned and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Yes, that sect is in great decline. It might collapse someday. The only one in charge now is a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage, and the sect has even fewer disciples. But there's a little conflict between them and us, it's nothing serious. Master...you don't need to worry about it."
Ji Tang had some recollection of Ben Luomen. Even now, she could still remember the heavy snowfall at Frost Ridge, and the bright red blood that splattered the thick snow. Su Jinzhou's sword, piercing the Young Master of Ben Luomen from top to bottom, was incredibly sharp, and her words were still fresh in her memory.
——"From the moment you started to covet Jitang, you must die."
At that time, the young leader of the Ben Luomen sect was killed by Su Jinzhou. Ben Luomen hated him so much that he often tried to trip Su Jinzhou openly and even tried to take his life secretly. This hatred lasted until the death of the leader of the Ben Luomen sect. After that, this matter disappeared without a trace with the passage of time.
She came back to her senses and asked, "Is it because of that incident?"
Gu Yan took a step ahead of Su Jinzhou and whispered, "Senior sister knows too?" This surprised him. He glanced at his senior brother, and he didn't expect that his senior brother would tell his sister about even the verbal dispute between the younger disciples. He was so thorough in every detail?
"It's just a small matter. How can you trouble Senior Sister to worry about such a small matter?"
Gu Yan looked at Su Jinzhou's cold eyes, but he didn't expect to meet the eyes of his senior brother who came over the next second.
Gu Yan immediately dodged and laughed, "Watch the game! Watch the game... Yeah, it's really exciting!"
Ji Tang: “…” Her stupid junior brother had lived in vain. The competition hadn’t even started yet, and he couldn’t even come up with a decent excuse.
She was just thinking about it when she was drawn back by Su Jinzhou's words.
Su Jinzhou only said two words calmly, "No."
Ji Tang understood. Since it was not those old events, considering Ben Luomen's current situation, it could only be the minor incident that Gu Yan mentioned.
Given Su Jinzhou's current status in the world of cultivation, even if the old leader of the Luomen Sect were still alive, he would not dare to act rashly in front of him.
Thinking back to the time when Ben Luomen sent wave after wave of people to assassinate Su Jinzhou, Su Jinzhou was indeed seriously injured several times, but he did not choose to kill them all, which was already a mercy.
After all, the feud between him and Ben Luomen was also caused by Jitang.
He was decisive and ruthless enough to kill the Young Sect Master for Ji Tang without hesitation, but after being seriously injured several times, he stopped pursuing the matter and instead left this Roman behind...
Jitang knows clearly what is more important.
Ji Tang thought about this and said with a smile: "Brother, did you like me then?"
Su Jinzhou pursed his lips into a straight line.
Jitang laughed secretly and said: You are so stubborn.
Gu Yan huddled to one side, suppressing the explosion that was about to happen, his face flushed red.
He didn't hear it!
He heard nothing!
After a few rounds of this, the competition began.
Xue Ningqi had a clear goal at first glance. He flew directly towards Ben Luomen's disciple. In no time, Ben Luomen's disciple was knocked off his flying sword.
As his bamboo-like body drifted down, a monk guarding the edge of the competition arena came forward with a sword and caught him.
The magic in the arena was dazzling, and the people in the stands exclaimed in amazement and cheered.
The monks' competition held once every ten years seemed insignificant to old ancestors like Ji Tang and Su Jinzhou, and was considered a big event among the younger generations, but for the common people, it was truly a grand event.
Take a person who lives to be a hundred years old. No matter how healthy he is, the number of times he can watch a competition can be counted on dozens of fingers. Many of them travel through mountains and rivers to watch a competition and look forward to it for several years, so their reactions are naturally excited and enthusiastic.
In the eyes of the team leader, the competition among the younger generations is not the highlight of this ten-year competition, but just an excuse.
The competition had just begun when several powerful men from the sects walked towards Su Jinzhou unwillingly, obviously not giving up on getting close to the Immortal Lord.
Several people stood in a row in front of Su Jinzhou in an orderly manner, bowed and respectfully called him "Immortal Master".
Su Jinzhou waved his hand.
Seeing that Su Jinzhou had no intention of speaking, Gu Yan stood up and bowed politely to the group, "It's been a while since we last met. I'm glad to see you all making progress again."
He often does this job.
The people in front of him were all prominent figures. The Immortal Lord could remain silent, but he couldn't. As the leader of Suxuan Sect, he couldn't lose his manners at the sect level.
Several people immediately bowed and said, "Master Gu Yan has also made progress. Congratulations to you."
Jitang felt his ears callused from listening to their polite words.
However, these people blocked her way so tightly that she couldn't even watch the competition.
It was fine for a while, but after a long time, seeing that they still had no intention of ending, Ji Tang couldn't help but feel annoyed.
At this time, someone else came up and bowed deeply, "Immortal Venerable, our sect has heard that you are coming, so we have specially prepared a gift. Please accept it."
When the others heard this, all sorts of thoughts immediately occurred to them.
The Immortal Venerable's participation in the Ten-Year Competition hadn't been announced, so how did the Huanxiao Sect know? Giving gifts is a sensitive matter, and giving one to the Immortal Venerable is even more serious. Not only did he give one, but he did so in front of so many people. What was his intention?
After the night, I raised my eyes.
The other party quickly smiled and said, "I am Han Wei, an elder of the Huanxiao Sect. This gift, to be honest, isn't very valuable. I heard a while ago that the Immortal Venerable was collecting items from the Nine Nether Abyss Demon Lord, and my sect happens to have one of these, a very old item. Knowing that the Immortal Venerable is a man of high moral integrity and a protector of the people of the world, we wanted to take this opportunity to present it to ease your concerns."
With every word he spoke, Su Jinzhou felt a little colder.
Others thought that the Immortal Venerable was like the bright moon on a high mountain and difficult to approach. Only Ji Tang and Gu Yan knew that Su Jinzhou was already angry.
Gu Yan's heart was beating wildly as he carefully observed his senior brother's expression.
There was clearly no change on that handsome face, but he could see that his expression was getting colder and colder, and he was scared to death.
Others secretly cursed Han Wei and Huan Xiaozong for being too cunning, and also blamed themselves for not thinking about it and losing the opportunity to show up in front of the Immortal Lord.
Gu Yan also cursed. He looked at Han Wei as if he were a flea that didn't know how to live or die. If he continued talking, his life would be gone from his mouth.
Han Wei was still feeling smug. He took out an object with Ji Tang's nightmare aura from his storage ring.
Ji Tang, as Han Wei called him the 'Nine Nether Abyss Demon', acted as if it had nothing to do with him and was even a little interested in what he brought out.
In Han Wei's hand was an ink-black belt, one finger wide, embroidered with a continuous sea of clouds. The embroidery was very ordinary, to the point that if you took it to a tailor shop outside, even the embroiderer would shake her head when seeing it.
There are two tassels of the same color and different lengths hanging on one side of the belt. Looking at the whole belt, apart from the excellent material, only these two tassels are barely eye-catching.
Before Ji Tang could say anything, Su Jinzhou's spiritual power had already landed behind her and gently touched her shoulder.
Then Su Jinzhou's words came from his sea of consciousness, "Did you embroider this?"
Ji Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "How did you know that, Senior Brother?"
The voice in the sea of consciousness then smiled and said, "Look at the embroidery."
Ji Tang curled the corner of his mouth. If they were in Qianli Yanbo, Ji Tang might really summon Yaoyao from his magic cave to chop him a few times.
Ji Tang said with a hint of resentment, "Brother, other people's lovers will praise even the worst embroidery to the skies."
Su Jinzhou's smile widened. "Maybe he's afraid of kneeling on the washboard when he gets home."
Ji Tang, "Those of us cultivators don't really kneel on the washboard."
Su Jinzhou: "Why, do you want me to kneel down for something else?"
Jitang: "The chessboard is good, the pieces are placed there."
Su Jinzhou couldn't help but look at her. Seeing that she was really thinking seriously, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Immortal Venerable?"
Han Wei was still holding the belt in his hand.
Su Jinzhou hooked his finger and the ink-black belt flew towards him.
At the same time, another magic weapon fell into Han Wei's hands along the same path.
Su Jinzhou: "I never accept gifts, so I'll give this in exchange."
The magic weapon that can be exchanged for a belt is a rare offensive treasure, which is many times more precious than the belt.
Han Wei was secretly delighted: This was a message that touched the heart of the Immortal Venerable. The Immortal Venerable seemed to be in a good mood and even rewarded him with a valuable treasure.
The others were full of envy and regret.
Su Jinzhou took the belt, gently stroked the surface of the belt, and then replaced the one on his waist.
At this moment, a jade pendant fell from his waist. The jade pendant was warm with a faint green glow, and the lines were full of red, as bright as blood.
The ink-black belt was wrapped around Su Jinzhou's waist, and the jade pendant was recovered along with the spiritual power and protected by the belt again.
Han Wei maintained the posture of bowing and thanking, and did not stand up for a long time.
The others couldn't bear to watch any longer, "Master Han Wei is so considerate and courteous."
Han Wei shuddered all over and then slowly stood up.
Ji Tang noticed that his expression was a little unnatural, as if he was trying hard to hide something. He didn't look happy at all after receiving a treasure.
Ji Tang followed Su Jinzhou's spiritual power and asked him, "Did Senior Brother send him a message?"
Su Jinzhou: "I do have something to say, but there's no need to telepathically transmit it."
Then Ji Tang heard Su Jinzhou say, "Yan Zun is not the demon you are talking about. If I hear these nonsense again, I will show no mercy."
Jitang's expression suddenly changed.
"What are you doing?" Ji Tang's voice fell heavily on Su Jinzhou's sea of consciousness, "My reputation has long been spread throughout the cultivation world. If you say this now, aren't you putting yourself in a—"
"Standing on what?" Su Jinzhou said, "We are already together. Even if you are standing on a cliff with thousands of blades under your feet, I will still be by your side."
Ji Tang was filled with mixed emotions. "I know that my senior brother loves me, but there's no need to show our relationship to others."
Su Jinzhou's expression was even colder than before. He frowned tightly, "What are you talking about? What do you mean there's no need to show our relationship to others?"
Before Jitang could speak, Su Jinzhou said, "Junior sister, are you teasing me but don't want to give me a name?"
Jitang: “……!”
