Chapter 111: The day before the Immortal Race Competition, Li You...
The day before the Immortal Clan Competition, Li Youyang and Chi Jun arrived at the Demon Clan. When the demon clan disciples were leading the way to their residence, they happened to meet Long Aotian, the lord of the water clan.
"Isn't this Chijun? Why are you here just now?"
Chijun didn't want to pay attention, but he couldn't pretend to see it since the other party had already spoken: "Sui-kun."
Long Aotian smiled and said, "Where's Taoze? Why isn't he here?"
Chi Jun was silent.
Long Aotian continued, "Actually, why should you even bother struggling? The Red Fire Clan has fallen on hard times. Rather than being swallowed up by other immortal clans, it's better for you to join our Water Clan. After all, cultivating together as a team will greatly benefit your cultivation. Look at how handsome everyone in our Water Clan is. You, the Red Fire Clan, wouldn't be at a disadvantage at all. As for you, I'll personally serve you. What else can you say no to?"
Chi Jun frowned: "Please lead the way."
The demon disciple finally reacted and was about to take action when Long Aotian said in a deep voice, "Wait."
Then he looked at Chi Jun with cold eyes and said, "Don't refuse my toast and drink the wine for punishment. Submit yourself and I will marry you openly. Otherwise, you can only be my cauldron."
Chi Jun's eyes turned cold. "Don't worry, Shui Jun. If the time comes for the Red Fire Clan to choose a leader, I won't choose the Water Clan."
"you!"
Long Aotian clenched his fists in anger, then loosened them and smiled, "Really? But I, Long Aotian, have never failed to get what I want. I want to see who dares to compete with me then."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Before Li Youyang could come back to his senses, Chi Jun said coldly: "What happened today must not be known to other members of the clan."
Li Youyang hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I will never tell anyone."
"Nothing will be spread outside?"
Feng Ming, the young master of the Wind Clan, came over in a red robe and asked, "Did Shui Jun tease you again?"
Chi Jun frowned.
Feng Ming curled his lips and smiled. "Actually, Long Aotian isn't ugly, and his cultivation isn't bad either. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to follow him. Given the current situation of the Red Fire Clan, only by choosing the Water Clan can we possibly retain our original clan name. The other immortal clans are after the Red Fire Clan's fighting power, while the Water Clan is after its people. If you serve them well, it's hard to say who the Water Clan will obey in the future. The strong conquer the world through force, while the weak can only rely on other means."
As he said this, he glanced at Chi Jun's butt meaningfully.
"Young Master Feng is wrong. If Chi Jun is willing to submit to my Thunder Clan, I will definitely not insult him like this. I will just let him serve tea, sweep the floor, make the bed, and at most clean the toilet. After all, the Thunder Clan does not keep useless people."
Li Youyang sighed silently. He finally understood why Chi Jun did not allow his tribesmen to come and watch the battle.
Chi Jun said coldly: "If you two have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
Feng Ming smiled. "Why are you so anxious, Chi Jun? It's always like this at every Immortal Clan Competition. Why aren't you used to it this time? Oh, I see. It's because this is a newcomer and he doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of the newcomers! Besides, this newcomer is really good-looking. No wonder Chi Jun looks down on that idiot Long Aotian."
Upon hearing this, Thunder Emperor looked at Li Youyang and said, "That's truly amazing. Lord Chi, how about you give him to me and I take in your Red Fire Clan?"
Chi Jun's eyes darkened: "I don't mind what you say about me, but please don't implicate the innocent."
Feng Ming said playfully, "She's even protecting him. It seems my guess was right. This person is indeed Chi Jun's mistress. To be liked by Chi Jun, she must be very good in bed..."
Bang!
Chi Jun slapped Feng Ming hard on the face. Feng Ming was furious: "Are you crazy? How dare you hit me!"
Chi Jun said coldly: "If you dare to insult the members of the Chihuo clan again, I will make sure that no trace of your body remains."
Feng Ming clenched his fist. Everyone knew why the Chihuo Clan declined, but everyone also understood that although the Chihuo Clan declined, Chi Jun's strength could still be ranked among the top four, or even among the best. Otherwise, after so many years, the Chihuo Clan would have been swallowed up long ago.
Thunder Emperor smiled and said, "Why should you be angry, Lord Chi? Young Master Feng was just joking."
Chi Jun looked at the disciple with cold eyes: "Lead the way."
Looking at Chi Jun's back, Feng Ming said hatefully: "One day, I will make him kneel in front of me and lick my shoes."
Thunder Emperor touched his chin and asked, "Young Master Feng, do you want to vent your anger?"
"Of course I do."
"I saw Chi Jun protecting that person so much. That person is probably his Taoist partner. If you sleep with him, do you think Chi Jun would be furious?"
Feng Ming: "How can it be that easy?"
"I'll make the arrangements, Master Feng, just wait for the news."
…
Li Youyang's room was next to Chi Jun's. After returning to his room, Li Youyang stretched and poured a cup of tea. Just as he picked up the teacup, there was a knock on the door: "Mr. Li, the room assignment is wrong. Can you change it?"
Li Youyang put down the teacup, stood up and opened the door.
A demon disciple apologized, "I'm so sorry, Master Li, this room was already reserved by Shuijun. My junior brother didn't realize it and took the wrong path. Could you please help me?"
Li Youyang didn't think much about it and said coldly, "Lead the way."
The disciple turned around with a cold look on his lips and took Li Youyang to another room. As soon as they entered the room, a sweet fragrance came from them.
…
A quarter of an hour later, the entire guest house suddenly became lively. Thunder Emperor knocked on Chi Jun's door and said, "I heard that a man recklessly used incense to seduce Young Master Feng. Chi Jun, are you interested in going over and taking a look?"
Chi Jun put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Li Youyang: "The game is over, do you want to go and take a look?"
Li Youyang sighed, "I played three games and lost all three. I was in a bad mood, so I just wanted to watch some fun to relax."
When Thunder Emperor noticed Li Youyang, he was stunned and blurted out: "Why are you here? I...I mean, shouldn't you be in your room?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Lord Chi wants to play chess."
Chi Jun stood up and said, "Aren't you going to watch the fun?"
Lei Di nodded, but he was worried in his heart. If it wasn't Li Youyang, then who could it be?
When they arrived, Feng Ming had already put on his clothes. The disciple who changed Li Youyang's room was lying on the ground in dishevel, and had no breath. The leader of the demon clan hurriedly ordered people to carry him down and apologize to Feng Ming.
After everyone dispersed, Feng Ming stopped Li Youyang and said, "Just wait for me. If I let you leave this competition alive, my name will be written backwards from now on."
Li Youyang said coldly, "What's the point of writing your name backwards? Young Master Feng is so nonchalant about his threats. Is he lacking confidence? How about this? If I leave alive this time, Young Master Feng will perform a handstand and eat shit in the arena. How about that?"
Feng Ming said coldly: "You are looking for death."
Li Youyang sighed deliberately: "It seems that Young Master Feng is just a braggart!"
Feng Ming said coldly, "Okay, if this young master lets you leave the demon clan alive, this young master will stand upside down in the arena and eat a bucket of shit."
Li Youyang curled his lips: "Then I have to protect my life well. After all, there are not many opportunities to see Young Master Feng standing upside down and eating shit."
Feng Ming snorted coldly and left.
Thunder Emperor bowed and was about to follow, but Li Youyang said coldly: "Your Excellency had better not fight me too soon."
The Thunder Emperor actually felt a little chill, then sneered and turned away. A vase with only a little cleverness dared to be so arrogant, she really didn't know how to live or die.
Chijun: "Sorry."
Li Youyang:?
Chi Jun said guiltily: "I brought you here to participate in the war, so I should be responsible for your safety. I didn't expect something like this to happen..."
Li Youyang interrupted, "Chi Jun has made a mistake. The Moon Vein owes the Red Fire Clan a debt, and as the Moon Vein's leader, I owe it back. Since I've come here with Chi Jun on behalf of the Moon Vein, I should be able to protect myself. This is the most basic thing."
Chi Jun was slightly stunned.
Li Youyang bowed and said, "I am here to repay Yuemai's debt, not to hinder Chijun."
Chi Jun was silent for a long time, then nodded: "Okay."
…
On the second day, the competition began and everyone drew lots. What Li Youyang didn't expect was that they drew the Yuetian clan in the first round.
Thunder Emperor sneered: "Your luck is really bad, Master Li. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to fight each other. Not only this time, but the Red Fire Clan will have no future, ha..."
Feng Ming said in a deep voice, "Please don't let the Yue Tian Clan kill you. I would feel very sorry if you died at their hands."
Li Youyang was too lazy to pay attention to them and went to the arena with Chi Jun.
Chen Bing and Bai Ye saluted the two men. "Your luck is really not very good. We are aware of the situation of the Red Fire Clan, but sorry, we also have to consider the interests of the Yuetian Clan. We really can't give in in this first round."
…
Thunder Emperor: "How long do you think they can last?"
Feng Ming curled his lips: "When Taoze was here, it was only a quarter of an hour. Now that he's replaced by a vase like this, I guess it won't last even half a quarter of an hour."
Thunder Emperor looked at Feng Ming and asked, "How about a bet?"
"bet."
"Three ten thousand year old demon pills. Even though Chi Jun is here, if anyone is knocked off the fighting field, they will be considered defeated. I bet they can't hold on for ten breaths."
"Okay, then I'll bet half a quarter of an hour."
As the two were talking, the whole audience suddenly erupted in an uproar. Thunder Emperor curled his lips and said, "In less than ten breaths, it seems I have won."
Feng Ming was a little annoyed and secretly cursed Li Youyang for being useless.
"How is this possible!"
"The Yuetian Clan was defeated!"
The two had been talking and hadn't noticed the changes on the arena. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly looked towards the arena, only to see that two members of the Yue Tian clan had fallen to the ground with serious injuries.
Thunder Emperor's eyes darkened: "It seems that Chi Jun's cultivation has reached a new level in recent years."
Feng Ming sneered: "No wonder you dare to bring a vase to join the battle."
"Did you see clearly how the man in white attacked just now?"
"No, when I saw it, the two men were already seriously injured. Since the results were always the same in previous years, I didn't think the competition was interesting at all. I didn't expect to miss such a wonderful scene."
"However, the strongest skill of the Yuetian Clan's disciples is their combined attacks, and this person's moves were so fast that they didn't even have a chance to attack. Whether he's truly strong or just cheating remains to be seen."
"Anyway, the Red Fire Clan won this round, and that was without the Red Lord taking any action."
Lei Di and Feng Ming were stunned. How could it be possible that Chi Jun didn't take action?
When Li Youyang made his move, even Chi Jun was stunned for a moment. The formation he used was simply superb. Before he could react, he was knocked down.
He always thought that Li Youyang had tried his best during the sparring that day, but he didn't expect that the other party was holding back and didn't use much formation when fighting him.
The first round ended quickly, and there were ninety-nine immortals left, and the second round of drawing lots began.
The first round of drawing lots was arranged in advance by Thunder Emperor. In his opinion, Li Youyang and his group could not enter the second round, so there was no manipulation in the second round. It all depended on luck. Then he almost died of anger, because the remaining number was odd, there must be an immortal who would be directly promoted by a bye, and as a result, this lot was drawn by Li Youyang and his group.
After all the competitions were over, the demon tribe announced that in order to ensure fairness, they would take a day off and resume the round-robin tournament the next day.
Before leaving, Thunder Emperor said coldly: "You guys are lucky this time, but the round-robin tournament..."
Li Youyang interrupted Lei Di and said coldly, "You are indeed lucky. You didn't even play in the second round and advanced directly. This kind of luck is really not available to ordinary people, don't you think?"
The Emperor of Thunder was furious and threw away his sleeves angrily.
A smile flashed across Li Youyang's eyes. He suddenly understood Bei Liyuan's occasional bad taste. It was really satisfying to see the enemy's disgusting yet helpless look!
Chi Jun: "I originally thought that Chief Li was a steady and aloof person, but I never thought he had such a quirky side."
Li Youyang coughed awkwardly twice. "After spending so much time with Li Yuan, it seems like black birds of a feather flock together. Hmm... maybe it could also be that red birds of a feather flock together."
Chi Jun said nothing more.
…
The round-robin tournament lasted for three days before reaching its final stage. The only four immortal clans that had never lost a game were the four great immortal clans, plus the Red Fire Clan. Even if they lost the remaining four games, the Red Fire Clan would at least be guaranteed to be in the top 20.
Long Aotian had originally planned to attack the Red Fire Clan after this competition, but he didn't expect such a change to happen. There is no need to talk about Chi Jun's strength. The reason why he was defeated so early in the past was because everyone set their sights on Tao Ze. As long as Tao Ze was knocked off the arena, it would be fine. But Li Youyang's body movements were weird and he could not be caught at all. Even if he was caught, the other party had a good cultivation level and could use some messy formations, so he could easily escape. Occasionally, he could even trap the other party and give Chi Jun a chance. It can be said that up to this point in the game, the two of them fought very smoothly. He must re-estimate the losses of annexing the Red Fire Clan.
What he didn't know was that the Water Tribe had already reached a cooperation with Chi Ye and decided to take down the Chi Huo Tribe tonight.
As for Chi Ye, he had already dreamed of becoming the new leader of the Red Fire Clan, but he didn't know that everything he did was already under the control of Bei Liyuan. The feud between the Yuemai and Yangmai meant that the Yuemai was destined to pay special attention to the Yangmai. As soon as Chi Ye went to the Water Clan, Bei Liyuan guessed what he was planning, and secretly discussed countermeasures with other branches. In the end, they decided to use the other's strength to fight against the Water Clan. After all, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg for the current Red Fire Clan to fight against the Water Clan.
Taoze had participated in the Immortal Clan Competition before, so he was responsible for secretly contacting the Water Clan's mortal enemy, the Demon Clan, but the Demon Clan did not agree.
But everyone knew that if the Water Tribe and the Red Fire Tribe were seriously damaged in the war, the Demon Tribe would definitely take the opportunity to annex them, and not only the Demon Tribe, but also the Thunder Tribe and the Wind Tribe.
During the discussion two days ago, someone had raised the question of whether these opportunists would take advantage of the situation and attack the Red Fire Clan. Bei Liyuan directly denied it: "The Water Clan is one of the four major clans and is not so easily divided up. It is simply impossible for these forces to devour the Water Clan completely. Compared with the Water Clan, the Red Fire Clan is like a small hard bun and a large, fragrant roasted lamb. Which would you choose?"
Everyone was silent.
Afterwards, Bei Liyuan lent the puppets to various branches and asked them to sign a contract to repay the amount borrowed and compensate for any damages according to the price.
As night fell, Chi Ye anxiously waited for the signal from the Water Tribe. Finally, at midnight, the Water Tribe's signal was sent into the air. Chi Ye ordered his men to activate the Red Fire Tribe's protective formation. The Water Tribe led their men to attack, but they were surprised to find that the entire Red Fire Tribe was empty except for Yang Mai. Then the wailing of the Water Tribe was heard.
Taoze gave Bei Liyuan a thumbs up: "Your formation is pretty good!"
Bei Liyuan said coldly: "Don't let your guard down, there's still a battle to fight tonight."
Taoze nodded.
The water tribe discovered the trap and hurriedly sent a retreat signal, but the entire Red Fire tribe had already been sealed off by the formation, and they had no way of leaving. Half an hour later, no one survived the first wave of water tribe that attacked the city, but this little combat power was just a drop in the bucket for the water tribe.
The Water Tribe elder, Long Jia, roared, "Chi Ye, how dare you plot against the Water Tribe!"
Chi Ye felt very wronged. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't get out at all.
Immediately afterwards, countless puppets attacked the water tribe army.
"Elder, they've already prepared. Should we evacuate?"
Long Jia's eyes darkened. "With such heavy damage, how can we explain to Shui Jun if we evacuate now? No matter what the cost, we must capture the Red Fire Clan tonight."
Soon the puppets were suppressed, and many were directly destroyed. Bei Liyuan flew high in the sky with his sword, his sword fingers moved quickly, and sharp sword prints fell like rain. The entire Red Fire Clan rushed out at the same time, and Yuemai directly sent out mid- and high-level puppets.
Tao Ze frowned: "How stingy! They didn't even give us a puppet of this level."
In just one hour, 20% of the aquatic creatures were killed or injured.
"Elder, let's retreat. Even if our entire army is wiped out tonight, we won't be able to successfully annex the Red Fire Clan."
Long Jia said solemnly: "Send a reinforcement spell."
"Elder, I'm just a member of the Red Fire Clan..."
"We've already suffered so much damage, and you want me to go back like this?! Send a reinforcement spell!"
The tribesman sighed and was about to cast a spell when he saw a talisman for help rising from the direction of the Water Tribe Palace: "Elder, this..."
Bei Liyuan said loudly: "Thinking about swallowing up others all day long, your home will be stolen by others!"
Long Jia looked at Bei Liyuan with cold eyes: "Did you contact the demon tribe?"
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms and said, "Sir, instead of discussing who contacted the demon tribe, you should hurry back. If you go back too late, your home will be gone."
Long Jia said coldly: "I will remember you. One day, I will take your life. Everyone retreat."
Looking at the retreating water tribe army, Bei Liyuan raised the corner of his lips: "That will make a more profound impression on you."
Immediately, he pointed his sword quickly and said in a deep voice: "Open the formation!"
Then, a blood-red formation spread out from the center of the water tribe's army, leaving no sound wherever it went. Long Jia was shocked: "This is a supreme-level God-Slaying Formation, retreat quickly."
Less than 40% of them eventually escaped.
Taoze stared at Beiliyuan in a daze. He had always noticed that Li Youyang was very strong, but he didn't expect that Beiliyuan was so powerful. He must not offend Yuemai in the future.
After the water tribe left, Bei Liyuan ordered everyone to pack up the spoils.
After returning to the tribe, Yangmai was directly imprisoned in the crime zone, waiting for Chijun to come back and deal with him.
The Red Fire Clan suffered few casualties in this battle, mainly because more than 50,000 puppets were destroyed, including more than 40,000 low-level, more than 8,000 mid-level, and 1,000 high-level.
Compared to the gains, this loss was really insignificant. Bei Liyuan looked at the treasured spirit stones he had recovered and couldn't help but sigh, "This water tribe is really rich! Ordinary tribesmen can wear Xuan-level armor, but unfortunately a lot of it was damaged. I can only melt it down and refine it again. I only get one out of two or three pieces. What a pity."
Taoze was speechless listening to this. He didn't want the broken one at all. There was no need to refine it again. It was too troublesome. He would rather practice with that time.
…
When Longjia brought his people back to the Water Tribe, they realized the seriousness of the matter. It was not only the Demon Tribe that took action, but also the Thunder Tribe and the Wind Tribe. After a night of fierce fighting, the Water Tribe barely managed to maintain its foundation. However, the losses in this war were heavy, and it would probably take ten thousand years to recover.
Long Jia regretted it deeply: "I shouldn't have trusted that villain Chi Ye so easily. I have harmed the water tribe to this extent. How can I face Shui Jun again? How can I still have the face to live in this world!"
As he said this, he was about to make his own decision to apologize.
"It's a good thing Elder Long died like this, but how are we supposed to face Water-Lord? I tried to persuade the elders to retreat, but they wouldn't listen. Now that the Water Tribe has suffered a heavy blow, they're dying, leaving the mess to us, to Water-Lord. They're truly the bad elders of our Water Tribe!"
Long Jia stopped moving and closed his eyes: "You are right, the disaster was caused by me, I should be responsible for it. If I die like this, I will be even more ashamed of Suicune."
The man knelt down and said, "Elder Long, please cheer up. We will repay you double for today's shame one day."
…
In the demon clan’s fighting arena, the opponent that Li Youyang and his team drew this time was none other than the water clan.
Long Aotian and the water tribe elder Long Yi flashed to the arena.
"Lord Chi's performance this time was truly beyond my expectations, but this is all I can do. I still say the same thing: if you are willing to submit, I will give you a beautiful wedding..."
Li Youyang interrupted impatiently: "How can there be so much nonsense in a martial arts competition?"
Long Yi scolded: "How dare you interrupt the Lord!"
Li Youyang was too lazy to speak again. There were still four games left, so he might as well finish them as soon as possible and go home. He simply drew his sword and slashed forward. Long Yi's eyes darkened and a protective formation suddenly appeared in front of him. However, the moment the sword touched the protective formation, it shattered.
Long Aotian frowned, pointed his sword and said coldly: "Back off!"
Li Youyang curled his lips: "Retreat if you want."
After saying that, he put away his sword, turned slightly sideways, and swung the Chijun Immortal Sword straight towards him. Long Aotian hurriedly met it, but was immediately knocked back several steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Long Aotian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and glanced at Long Yi. Long Yi understood and raised his hand to release a magic treasure that emitted a dazzling light, instantly covering Chi Jun. Then the two of them attacked Li Youyang at the same time.
Li Youyang's lips curled up into a smile: "Who doesn't have a spiritual treasure?"
Then he took out the Qiankun Fan and blew the two men away with one fan, almost making them fall off the arena.
The two men refused to give in and attacked again. Li Youyang launched another blow. With the previous experience, the two men dodged it tactfully this time, but Chi Jun had already escaped the moment they dodged and slashed directly at them with a sword. The two men hurriedly blocked and were simultaneously knocked back. The moment they landed, they felt an infinite pressure above their heads. Looking up, they saw the God-Slaying Seal falling down. The two men hurriedly set up a formation to resist, but it was completely useless. Seeing the God-Slaying Seal about to fall, Long Aotian clenched his fist and said coldly: "We admit defeat."
The God-Slaying Seal still showed no sign of stopping. Long Aotian became anxious and roared, "We surrender!"
Li Youyang then took back the God-Slaying Seal: "Thank you both for giving me the opportunity."
Suicune snorted.
Li Youyang added, "If the Water Lord is truly attracted to our Red Lord, we can offer the Water Tribe as a dowry. Our Red Lord will certainly welcome you with a grand ceremony."
"you!"
In a fit of rage, Suicune spat out another mouthful of blood.
Li Youyang shook his head deliberately and sighed, "Shui Jun, you need to change your temper. Our Lord likes gentle and kind people. With your temper, I'm afraid you'll end up alone in an empty room."
Among the people present, one of them finally couldn't help laughing out loud, but the next moment he was turned into ashes by Suicune's palm.
Li Youyang: "Tsk! If someone with this personality becomes our Lord's wife..."
boom!
A hole was smashed behind the place where Li Youyang had just stood.
"Fortunately, that Mr. Li hid quickly, otherwise he would have been in trouble."
"Of course not, but where did the Red Fire Clan come up with such a talent? This is truly amazing!"
