Chapter 196
Ye Lan was too lazy to argue with Han Dun about whether to look for a male or female Taoist partner. He just turned his gaze away and walked away.
When Leng Qingqiu passed by Han Dun, he just paused for a moment. Seeing Han Dun's longing eyes, he didn't say anything and followed the direction Ye Lan left.
Han Dun: ...
I take that back.
Ye Lan continued to participate in the Dan Xiu competition, this time it was the second round of screening.
Ye Lan looked at the people standing around him who had entered the second round of the competition like him, and felt secretly happy in his heart. It seemed that he would definitely be able to enter the finals.
In this way, he can be considered to have fulfilled the wish of the headmaster.
On the stage, the old man was still announcing the rules for the second round of competition when suddenly, the ground shook as if by a tremor.
Everyone was unsteady and was holding on to the people beside them.
The old man looked up at the dark shadow above his head. He stomped his foot on the ground and flew towards the top of his head like an arrow.
"Who are you?! This is the site of the sect competition. How can you be so presumptuous?"
He roared, but the uninvited guest above his head showed no sign of stopping.
The barrier around him shook violently, which frightened Ye Lan below.
He looked up at the black shadow that kept attacking the barrier. He had a bad feeling in his heart that this person was probably coming for them.
Seeing that the people outside the barrier were still attacking their barrier, the old man no longer hid his weakness. He immediately slapped the gourd on his waist and counterattacked the person above his head.
After doing all this, the elders from several other venues also gathered towards Dan Xiu, cooperating with each other to counterattack the people outside the barrier.
"Second Elder, what happened?" one of the elders asked about the situation.
The old man who launched the attack first shook his head. "I don't know. I've already told them this is the location for our sect's competition, but they're still attacking our barrier anyway. I'm afraid they have bad intentions..."
"No matter what, we must stabilize the barrier. This sect competition cannot be interrupted! Hurry up and use all your strength!"
This sect competition is organized by the sect that has been ranked second for thousands of years. If problems arise at this critical juncture, they will not be able to hold their heads up in front of other sects in the future.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders put all their efforts into repairing the barrier.
Perhaps their actions angered the troublemaker, and a big foot appeared above their heads, stomping hard on their barrier.
In an instant, the barrier made a shattering sound.
"Oh no! Please call in the master!" One of the old men screamed.
Except for Ye Lan, all the people competing in the various sects below fled with their heads in their hands.
Ye Lan looked up at Leng Qingqiu who suddenly appeared beside him and said softly, "Here you come with ill intentions."
Leng Qingqiu took the same posture as him, glanced at the man above him, and replied in a deep voice: "This aura is from the Li family."
While trying to repair the barrier that was about to break, the second elder saw that there were still two people standing below and had not escaped. He could not help but waved his sleeves and swept Ye Lan and Leng Qingqiu aside.
He shouted angrily, "Why don't you find a place to hide? What are you standing here for?"
They don’t know whether the visitor is a friend or an enemy. If something happens to the disciples of the sect who came to the competition, they won’t be able to explain it even if they have several mouths!
Ye Lan couldn't stand steadily, so Leng Qingqiu supported him.
Then he whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, let's wait and see."
No matter how powerful his Li family is, it is not as powerful as these elders who are in charge of the sect competition.
Suddenly, the barrier above their heads shattered, and the elders below were blown to the sides by the aftermath of the shattering.
The blurry figure from before was now fully visible to everyone. It was a middle-aged man with extremely strong fighting power.
His long hair draped behind his head kept fluttering in the air.
His eyes were like torches, looking down fiercely at the people below him.
The pressure from the strong man continued to press down on them, forcing everyone to kneel on the ground.
The elders forced themselves not to kneel down.
They gritted their teeth and stared at the middle-aged man above their heads with blazing eyes.
"I don't know why this fellow Taoist is interfering with our sect's competition!" Even if I die, I must know the cause of death!
The middle-aged man above his head slowly turned his head and looked at the elder who had just spoken.
As he looked at it, his knees, which had just barely managed to hold themselves together, were instantly pressed down by the man's pressure, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"You? Can you make the decision?"
The man spoke slowly, word by word.
The middle-aged man took out the broken jade slip belonging to the head of the Li family and his eyes fell on the elder below again.
"This is the life jade slip of the Li family patriarch. I can sense that his last trace of Nascent Soul power is here. You only need to hand over the people of Xiaoyao Sect to me, and I will leave immediately."
Everyone below could hear his words clearly.
Xiaoyao Sect...
The old man turned around suddenly, suppressing the urge to look back at the two people he had just swept into the darkness.
No, things are not that simple now.
No matter how big a trouble those two people from Xiaoyao Sect caused, they should have waited until after the sect competition before handing them over.
If the people of Xiaoyao Sect were handed over at this time, how would other sects view them?
The old man, holding on, refused directly, "Senior, you should know that the sect competition is for the elites from all the sects to compete. If you have any grudges against the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, you can wait until the competition is over before coming back. We will never interfere."
The old man thought that what he said was very sincere and most people could accept it.
However, the ancestor of the Li family is not an ordinary person.
He stared coldly at the old man who had just spoken below. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Wait until the game is over?"
"Can you guarantee they won't escape? Handing them over two days later will only allow them to linger a little longer. They'll die sooner or later anyway, so why would I have to make another trip?"
As the Li family ancestor spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a seal.
The broken jade slip in the palm of his hand shattered instantly and turned into a golden thread flying downwards.
Ye Lan saw the golden thread flying straight towards the direction where he and Leng Qingqiu were standing.
Leng Qingqiu held Ye Lan's hand with one hand and gently squeezed it.
Signaling him not to worry, Leng Qingqiu's calm and composed look instantly put Ye Lan's heart at ease.
Leng Qingqiu pressed one hand towards the spirit pet space at his waist and was about to take action.
Then a sharp sword energy rushed out from the other side and directly cut the golden thread.
