After some casual chatting, the martial arts competition finally began.
Ye Qiu turned around and nodded to Zhao Wan'er, "Go."
Zhao Wan'er smiled gently, said nothing, and walked straight onto the stage.
She was already very satisfied to be able to enter the top eight. After all, among this group of eight strong men, her cultivation was the lowest.
"Senior Sister Ruyan, please give me some advice..."
On the stage, Liu Ruyan stood there straight, smiling, with excellent temperament, and a light blue dress swaying in the wind, which really attracted the passionate gazes of many male disciples.
Zhao Wan'er was still wearing a red robe as usual, with a white dress underneath. The red and white matched perfectly.
She seems to... particularly like red.
"Junior sister! Please give me some advice..."
Liu Ruyan responded softly. She didn't dare to be careless when facing the disciples of Zixia Peak.
Now, she is the last hope of Tianshui Peak. If she loses in the quarterfinals, Mingyue will probably be furious.
As Elder Xu Feng announced the start of the martial arts competition, the two began to fight.
Facing Liu Ruyan, Zhao Wan'er no longer held back. The red lotus karma fire instantly erupted, and she used the Zhemei Hand technique to drive out the karma fire.
Liu Ruyan was no pushover either. She turned the soft sword in her hand and created a watermark, slowly consuming the powerful flame of the karma fire.
The battle above was extremely intense. Mingyue was so nervous that she couldn't help but clench her fists.
"I'm so anxious, Ruyan. You are the only hope of Tianshui Peak. You must fight for your dignity."
Compared to Mingyue's nervousness, Ye Qiu was much calmer.
From the beginning of the fight, he knew that Zhao Wan'er had no chance of winning, so he didn't take it seriously.
Looking at Meng Tianzheng not far away, he suddenly found Liu Qingfeng running over in a hurry and saying something in his ear.
After listening to this, Meng Tianzheng frowned and his expression became serious.
Even the Taoist from Tiantong who was standing next to him sensed the change in his heart and looked back in confusion. He Wushuang also walked over from a distance and whispered something in his ear.
"Huh? What's going on? Did something big happen?"
Ye Qiu was a little surprised by the reactions of these two people. He looked at Mingyue, who also had a confused look on her face, obviously unaware of the situation.
At this time, Xiao Yi hurried over and explained in Ye Qiu's ear: "Senior, my father sent a message that last night, an old turtle carrying a coffin appeared in the depths of the no-man's land.
As soon as the old turtle appeared, the entire Eastern Wasteland was in chaos, and the ferocious beasts lurking in the wasteland gradually became manic. "
"The entire Great Wilderness was engulfed in a bloody battle, shocking the heavens and earth, causing the gods and ghosts to weep, and countless casualties."
"It's not just the battles between human cultivators and ferocious beasts. It seems that fierce battles have also broken out between the ferocious beasts themselves."
"Some people speculated that there was a treasure in the coffin, and they chose to fight in order to snatch the treasure in the coffin."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu frowned, "A treasure? An old turtle carrying a coffin?"
"Could it be related to the Emperor's Tomb?"
Ye Qiu vaguely guessed that he had discovered the emperor's tomb in an uninhabited area last time, and not only him, but others had discovered it as well.
Now that signs have appeared again, it seems... the emperor's tomb will soon be revealed.
According to Ye Qiu's previous plan, he wanted to go into seclusion for a year after the martial arts competition and strive to reach the supreme realm.
But now, omens are frequent, the Eastern Wilderness is in turmoil, and huge changes may happen at any time.
If you go into seclusion, you may miss a lot of things.
"Well, it seems necessary to go down the mountain again."
After careful consideration, Ye Qiu decided to go down the mountain after the martial arts competition.
Xiao Yi slowed down and continued, "Senior, my father has sent several masters from the family to the no-man's land to check the situation. Once there is any news, it will be reported back immediately."
Ye Qiu nodded with satisfaction. Xiao Zhan's intention was very clear by doing this. It directly expressed that the Xiao family was tied to him.
Ye Qiu has already sensed the Xiao family's goodwill gesture, but has not yet figured out how to repay the favor.
He looked back at Xiao Yi and nodded, "Well... this kid is okay."
After this period of contact, Ye Qiu has come to understand Xiao Yi's character and is very satisfied with him.
However, now is not the time to accept disciples. I should observe the performance of the Xiao family.
Also, wait for an opportunity and make him deeply moved and devoted to you.
That would be the best time to recruit a disciple.
"Okay, I understand! Let's go down."
Ye Qiu said this in a calm tone, without any change in his expression. After Xiao Yi conveyed the message, he felt relieved and continued to look at his beauty.
He doesn't care what happens. As long as the world doesn't end, he will never stop looking at beauties.
Soon, Mingyue also received the news from her Liu Ruyan family.
After receiving the message, she just glanced at Ye Qiu and said nothing, thinking secretly in her heart.
The fight on the ring ended quickly. As expected, Zhao Wan'er was defeated because her cultivation was too low and her spiritual power was exhausted prematurely.
Seeing this scene, Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Qiu deeply.
"Huh, I really don't know how this guy taught his apprentice. Isn't his fighting ability too strong?"
"A first-grade Tianxiang fought against a seventh-grade Tianxiang, and the fight was evenly matched.
If it weren't for the realm crushing, I'm afraid... this duel would be won by Zixia Peak again."
Mingyue sighed deeply that there were so many powerful secret techniques in Zixia Peak, and she was envious from the bottom of her heart.
If Tianshui Peak also has such resources, I can teach them to you.
Unfortunately, she didn't have that. She was stingy and lived a tight life, and her disciples also suffered as a result.
Returning to Ye Qiu, Zhao Wan'er looked frustrated and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I lost."
Ye Qiu relaxed his brows and smiled, "Master, I have seen everything. You have tried your best. Even if you lose, it is still an honor. There is no need to be depressed."
Zhao Wan'er was delighted to hear this. She thought that she had lost and would be scolded by their master like the disciples from other mountains.
It seems that my own master is still the best!
"Sister, the next game is up to you."
After Ye Qiu's comfort, her mood finally recovered a little. Zhao Wan'er looked at Lin Qingzhu and said.
Lin Qingzhu gave her a firm look and gestured to Ye Qiu: "Master, then I will go?"
"Well, go ahead..."
Lin Qingzhu turned around and walked onto the stage, standing with her arms folded in a very cool manner, with the Zixia sword in her hand, but no one has ever seen her draw the sword.
"The second match of the quarterfinals, Lin Qingzhu from Zixia Peak versus Lu Yunsheng from Guiyun Peak."
"Please come on stage, both parties."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man from Gui Yunfeng's team jumped onto the stage with a spear in his hand.
Lu Yunsheng held a spear in his hand, standing majestically on the stage like a god of war, mighty and unyielding, truly astonishing everyone present.
"The highlight is finally here..."
"Senior Sister from Zixia Peak versus Senior Brother from Guiyun Peak, haha... both of you are the favorites to win, let's see who will win today."
"Lu Yunsheng is a child of destiny and has a great reputation. In this martial arts competition, apart from Qi Hao, I can't think of anyone else who can surpass him."
"I bet on Gui Yunfeng to win this match."
Everyone was talking about it, and the atmosphere reached a peak.
"No, no, no, although Lu Yunsheng is strong, I feel that Lin Qingzhu is even stronger."
"I think Zixia Peak has a better chance of winning this duel."
"Don't forget that Lin Qingzhu has never met an opponent who could make her draw her sword and take him seriously until today."
