Chapter 102: Reflecting the Colorful Clouds (4,000 words)
This day.
There was a constant stream of people above the Five Thunder Sword Temple. There was still one year left before the Three Hundred Years Taoist Competition. The venue had been chosen to be the Five Thunder Sword Temple. Other Taoist sects had already started rushing here, preparing to arrive early to familiarize themselves with the terrain, bide their time, and wait for the competition to begin.
However, the news that the female disciples of the Five Thunder Sword Temple were blocking the door of the male disciples of the Huang Academy had already become the topic of conversation.
Among them, the scandal between Zhang Ling and Master Qingxuan was the most popular at the time.
It even overshadowed the news that Xu Beixuan had gone down the mountain to give up the Taoist competition and that a new immortal seedling had appeared in the Five Thunder Sword Temple, which Liu Dudou had heard in the past two days.
Zhang Ling himself was not too affected by this, and the matter came to an abrupt end after Qingxuan himself stepped in and punished several female disciples. No one dared to gossip about him behind his back anymore.
It's just that everyone understood each other tacitly and exchanged eye contact.
In this way, spring goes and autumn comes, and a year passes quickly.
The time for the Taoist competition is coming soon.
The location chosen for this Taoist competition is somewhere in a secluded valley in the green mountains of the Five Thunder Sword Temple.
The once-every-three-hundred-year competition among the world's major sects is about to begin.
Zhang Ling calculated with his fingers and found that the time was ripe, but he also sent his mind into the clouds to find Xu Beixuan's location.
Soon it was found on a cliff thousands of miles away from the Five Thunder Sword Temple.
At this moment, Xu Beixuan was holding the fox girl in one hand and holding the cliff rock tightly with the other hand. On the cliff above him stood a group of Taoist priests wearing clothes of different colors.
The leading old Taoist priest held a long sword and scowled coldly, saying, "Xu Beixuan, as the chief disciple of the Five Thunder Sword Temple, why do you stubbornly refuse to repent and protect this fox demon? Your master and I are even good friends. I even held you in my arms when you were little. I never expected that twenty years would pass in the blink of an eye, and you have changed beyond recognition! It's not too late to wake up now. Remember, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost! Quickly kill this fox girl. You, Xu Beixuan, will still be Xu Beixuan, and still the chief disciple of the Five Thunder Sword Temple! Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
Xu Beixuan, lying on the cliff below, was covered in wounds, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "I cultivate with a clear conscience. This little fox has never had the thought of harming anyone in her life. She saved me and is pregnant with my child. Now you're asking me to draw a line between us and you're even asking me to kill her. I, Xu Beixuan, can't do that!"
"Xu Beixuan, you!"
"Alright, alright, in that case, we will capture you and bring you back to the Five Thunder Sword Temple. Let your master and all the Taoists in the world see that you, Xu Beixuan, are a scum who associates with evildoers!"
…
At this moment, the Five Thunder Sword Temple.
The Taoist competition held once every three hundred years has officially begun.
Since Xu Beixuan, the chief disciple of the Five Thunder Sword Temple, did not participate in this competition, it was exciting news for other Taoist sects. All the participating disciples were full of energy and high spirits, and they were looking forward to it. They had never thought about taking the lead earlier, but today they might have the opportunity to reach the top!
The reason is that these three words "Xu Beixuan" are too heavy!
The fellow disciples were so pressed that they could hardly breathe, and they had already left them far behind, not even catching up.
Today, Xu Beixuan's cultivation and strength are comparable to those of the elders of the top Taoist sects.
In this case, if Xu Beixuan really participates in this Taoist competition, I am afraid that the Five Thunder Sword Temple will still be the leader of Taoism in the next three hundred years!
However, nine huge Taoist platforms were built on the competition ground. They were square and extremely wide. They were all forged from mountain rocks and were stable and powerful.
These nine Taoist platforms represent the nine major Taoist temples in the world. On each of them stands a disciple, who is guarding the platform and preparing for attacks from other Taoist disciples.
Beside each Taoist platform sits an elder, dressed in a white robe, holding a whisk, and with a restrained aura.
In the center of the venue, there is a large flag shining with spiritual light. It is the trophy for the final winner, as well as the glory, symbolizing the highest honor.
The most outstanding disciples of the nine major sects here will guard the ring, and other sects will send disciples of equal caliber to attack the ring. This will last for ten days, and during this time, no more than 10 people can be rotated in either defense or attack!
The side whose Taoist disciple stands on the ring at the end will be the winner!
After ten days of attack and defense, the disciples who finally stood on the nine platforms, and the Taoist sects behind them, would be considered the nine major Taoist sects for the next three hundred years, enjoying unparalleled voice and right to use resources.
The reason for this arrangement is that a real person in this world once made a divination and claimed that the revitalization and development of a Taoist sect can be guaranteed to last for 300 years as long as there are 10 talented and outstanding disciples of the new generation!
This was the prototype and eventually developed into the current rules of the Taoist Competition in the World.
Zhang Ling withdrew his spiritual thoughts and sat in the stands in real life. The sound of drums beating and flags waving and cheering could be heard in his ears.
He looked up at the sky and guessed that when the competition reached its most tense and exciting stage, Xu Beixuan would be captured by a group of old Taoist priests and brought to justice.
At that time, the news that Xu Beixuan was pregnant with a fox demon in front of all the Taoists in the world would probably cause a huge shock, and all the Taoists would be shocked.
After all, the Five Thunder Sword Temple has lost all its face. The remaining disciples may no longer regard Xu Beixuan as an example, and may even laugh at him behind his back.
But no matter what, this major event concerns the future direction of Xu Beixuan, the future direction of the Five Thunder Sword Temple, and more importantly, whether Zhang Ling can safely hand over the Zhenglei Sword Technique to Xu Beixuan.
Zhang Ling just wanted to see if Xu Beixuan had this kind of character.
Even if there are thousands of people blocking his way and the whole world is his enemy, he can remain consistent and never forget his original intention.
