"Nine Fingers! You said this yourself, and everyone here witnessed it. I hope you won't go back on your word when the time comes!" Huo Yuan stood still, his entire body like a giant sword brimming with divine power.
Gu Xianzhi smiled without any pretense: "One-armed, I should be the one saying this to you. Now that you've agreed, you can't go back on your word!"
Seeing that both of them were very confident in the strength of their apprentices, the other peak eighth-level masters also became interested.
This was the first time they had seen such a huge bet. No matter what, in the end, one of their fellow practitioners at the peak of the eighth level would lose all face.
No matter who it is, it is an extremely interesting event for the hermit world. On one side is the leader of the Tianyuan Sword Sect. If he loses, it will be a disgrace to the entire Tianyuan Sword Sect.
The entire Tianyuan Sword Sect will not be able to hold its head up in the future. On the other side is an eighth-level peak cultivator with a wide circle of friends. If he loses, he probably won't have the face to walk around in the hermit world in the future.
The immortal still watched all this with a smile. As long as the two of them did not start a fight, it would have nothing to do with him whether they lost face or not.
"The tournament hasn't even started yet, and you two are already full of tension. You've really added a lot of excitement to our martial arts tournament!"
As he spoke, he pressed his hand toward a beam of light in front of him.
Wow!
A column of light suddenly shot up into the sky, and a shock wave spread out in all directions with the small building as the center. The entire area around Xianweng Mountain felt the impact of this force.
This also indicates that the martial arts conference is about to begin, and a huge shadow of an immortal also appears above the small building.
At this moment, he was facing all the people who came to participate in the martial arts conference. Whether in the inner area or the outer area, his huge illusory figure could be seen.
"Thank you all for coming to participate..."
The Immortal began the normal process and gave a speech before the martial arts conference began.
Gu Xianzhi turned and looked at Li Xuan: "My good disciple, how about it, how confident are you that you can defeat that boy?"
Li Xuan also looked at his master and said, "I can't really say for sure since I haven't fought him, but I still have a good chance of winning. But Master, do you trust me so much?"
When the master mentioned such a bet, it naturally meant that he had never thought that he would lose. Otherwise, who would mention such a bet with no way out?
"Stop talking nonsense. My reputation for the rest of my life is in your hands! You can't embarrass me!" said Gu Xianzhi.
"But what if I lose?"
"You're going to lose? What else can I do? Of course I'll run away. Do you really think I'll kneel down and slap myself twice?"
Gu Xianzhi said something that surprised even himself.
"I can still run away!" Li Xuan scratched his head, as if a new world had opened up to him again.
"Running away would only lead to gossip, but if you keep your promise, how will your master live his life in the future? Besides, did we sign any contract for the bet we just made?"
"You can make a verbal promise and break it verbally!"
Gu Xianzhi chuckled. He was naturally very confident in Li Xuan's strength, and he said this in the hope that he would not have too much pressure.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Master, don't worry. I will beat him in this martial arts tournament no matter what."
"Okay, then we can make that old guy Huo Yuan lose face!" Gu Xianzhi looked forward to it.
"Master, aren't you afraid that he will run away afterwards?" Li Xuan asked.
"He is different from me. He is the leader of a sect. I am a lonely person and can just walk away. Can he just walk away?"
"If he breaks his promise, the entire Tianyuan Sword Sect will be humiliated. Besides, Huo Yuan is a stubborn old man and doesn't seem like someone who would break his promise."
Gu Xianzhi folded his arms and looked at Huo Yuan with a smile.
"Master, this move of yours is really a bit insidious!" Li Xuan couldn't help but admire.
"What do you mean by insidious? This is brilliant, okay?"
At the same time, Huo Yuan was also admonishing his apprentice, who was also his son: "Huo Yi, you must win the battle against him today!"
"Master! I will never let you down!" Huo Yi gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand.
After the Immortal Master finished his long speech, he began to talk about the first item of this martial arts conference: "This martial arts conference is different from previous ones."
"I think the first task is a bit simpler. It will test each of your combat prowess, luck, and on-the-spot reaction abilities!"
Wow!
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and a glowing entrance appeared in front of all the younger generations who came to participate in the martial arts conference.
"The rules are simple: you will enter a secret realm. Those who are killed will be eliminated immediately. I will determine the ranking of this round based on your elimination order."
It really is simple enough!
Li Xuan looked at the others, and also noticed the inner and outer areas outside, where there were the same power fluctuations.
It seems that this round is a big melee. All the people participating in the martial arts conference are brought into a secret realm to see who can last to the end.
"The Immortal Master really wants things to be simple!"
Gu Xianzhi complained, then looked at Li Xuan and Jiang Yu: "You two go in, remember to hold on a little longer, especially you, Gu Linfeng!"
This is a matter of great importance to one's reputation and whether one can get revenge.
Li Xuan nodded heavily: "I will do my best!"
Wow! Wow!
They entered the entrance to the secret realm in front of them together, and others followed suit.
Before Huo Yi entered, Huo Yuan instructed, "No matter what your final ranking is, after you enter, you must first find Gu Linfeng and eliminate him first!"
"Yes, Master!"
Huo Yi had the same idea in mind.
Before entering the secret realm, the little nun also silently glanced at Li Xuan.
Wow!
After entering the secret realm, the scene before them changed suddenly, and they were all scattered on a barren plain.
The area here is very large, but there is almost no place to hide, so here you can rely on mental power to detect the other party from a long distance.
There is no place to hide between each other, we have to fight when we meet!
After they all entered the secret realm, the elders present also received a light curtain to watch the battle.
With their mental power, they can see everything that happens in the secret realm.
The eighth-level peak masters in the core area all focused their attention on Li Xuan and Huo Yi. The outcome of the match between these two was related to the reputation of their elders.
Even the Immortal Elder focused most of his attention on the two of them.
