Chapter 780: Siege of Tianji Gate
After Xiao Chujing finished speaking, he put one of the spiritual rings on his index finger and helped Ye Xiaoman put on the remaining one.
Ye Xiaoman actually didn't like having someone put a ring on her finger. It felt a lot like exchanging rings at a wedding, like being trapped. But compared to the risk of her identity being exposed, even that became bearable, and she obediently let Xiao Chujing put the ring on her finger.
She lifted the silver ring from her finger and looked at it in the sunlight between the trees.
"As long as I wear the ring, even if Shi Yaxing doesn't allow me, right?"
Xiao Chujing smiled and said, "The magic ring contains a mixture of the fates of three people, so he can't calculate it accurately."
Ye Xiaoman was relieved: "That's good."
She decided to completely weld the ring to her finger during the competition.
"I'm fine. As an undercover agent, I can completely conceal my past with this magic weapon. As for Senior Brother Xiao's bloodline, I don't know what other methods they have yet to use to detect it. I need to be even more careful."
Xiao Chujing said firmly to Ye Xiaoman: "I will definitely not let them find out."
Once discovered, they will be eliminated from the competition and expelled from the world.
Subjectively, he was very confident in his relationship with Ye Xiaoman, but there was always another voice in his heart telling him that as long as he left Ye Xiaoman for a year or two, his position by her side would immediately be taken by someone else.
He would never be separated from her.
The Tianyan Sect gathered the ten winning teams from the previous round in a beautiful pavilion and treated them to breakfast. Then, the Sect Master of the Tianyan Sect personally read out the final exam questions.
It turned out to be the mess between them and Tianji Sect.
The leader of Tianyan Sect announced their scoring criteria.
He said with a pleasant face:
"Out of the ten teams, seven will be eliminated in this round. The winner will represent the human world in the Six Realms election."
"If you can tear up the unreasonable contract for our sect and take back the spiritual land, you will be rated as A-level."
"If justice cannot be achieved for the clan, but some compensation can be recovered, it will be rated B."
"Those who are unable to help our sect recover any losses but are able to vent their anger will be rated as either C or B, depending on the degree of venting anger."
"The more specific assessment will depend on your performance."
The implication is that the worse you treat the Tianji Sect, the higher the score you will get.
After the Tianyan Sect finished explaining the specific details, nine of the ten competing teams present, including the Qingzheng Sect, had already learned the questions in advance. They remained calm after hearing about the tricky trials, except for the only honest sect, the Dadao Sect.
The entire Big Knife Sect is composed of physical cultivators with simple minds and strong limbs. They relied on absolute force to make it into the top ten. Their style is quite upright. Earlier, the Divine Will Sect tried to win them over to encircle the Qingzheng Sect, but they refused on the grounds that they did not want to bully the minority with their numbers.
These stubborn physical cultivators had no idea that there were any advance preparations, and were shocked when they suddenly heard the test questions.
"There's no way we can fix this."
Then he asked his competitors around him in surprise, "Why don't you react at all?"
The leader of Tianyan Sect coughed to cover up, waved his hand, and the Feitian Ling, the special transportation magic weapon of Tianyan Sect, appeared again, pulling all the contestants to the gate of Tianji Sect.
The two mortal enemies were quite close to each other, and the flying magic weapon only took half an hour to fly there. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. The Tianji Sect was indeed not fair.
Fei Tian Ling shook his hands, placed 10 teams totaling 200 people outside the gate of Tianji Gate, and then left.
The geniuses gathered outside the mountain gate, looking like they were there to challenge the Tianyan Sect, and they stared at the unfriendly-looking disciples of the Tianji Sect guarding the mountain.
There was really no way to deal with this matter. Even if we got the test questions in advance, it would not be of much use. The people on the scene were divided into ten groups, and each camp occupied a small corner. Those who were more scheming set up the ban on listening, and those who didn't care discussed it openly. The buzzing sound echoed in my ears.
The 20 members of the Qing Zhengzong group squatted in the shade of the tree, forming a circle and looking at each other.
Senior Brother Lan turned around and looked at the ferocious disciples of the Tianji Sect. They had learned of the actions of the Tianyan Sect and began to send more people to guard the mountain gate.
"What do we do next?"
Senior Sister Mei said, "Just follow the Sect Master's instructions and wait for Master Bai Xiao to show up."
Ye Xiaoman wiped the sweat from her forehead. Xiao Chujing was beside her. She glanced at him and saw that he looked thoughtful. She thought there was probably no particularly good solution.
If Ye Xiaoman can pass this level, she can use the half of the Taotie beast left in her storage bag. Shi Zaixing has ice blood disease, and the Taotie beast is a life-saving medicine. As long as she is willing to give it, Tianjimen will be willing to use the spiritual land of Tianyanzong in exchange for the Taotie beast in her hand.
But Ye Xiaoman didn't want to pay, so she wanted to wait and see if there was any other way. She would not use her method unless it was absolutely necessary.
Xiao Chujing obviously didn't want Ye Xiaoman to sacrifice herself, and never mentioned the matter of the Taotie beast in front of his fellow disciples.
Ye Xiaoman waited patiently for things to turn around.
An hour later, competitors began to take action one after another.
The first to take action were the Big Knife Faction. They were not good at psychological warfare. After thinking for a long time without any solution, they decided to use the method they were best at - if it was difficult to win an argument, they would solve it with fists.
Ye Xiaoman watched as the people from the Big Knife Sect passed by her, bringing up a gust of wind.
Each of the monks was at least two meters tall, with amazing muscles that looked like the reincarnation of Zhang Fei. Their feet stomped on the ground, making a heavy echo. They rushed directly to the mountain-guarding disciples of Tianji Sect, grabbed their collars, and cursed:
"Did you extort the land from the Tianyan Sect?"
The Tianji Sect disciples were no pushovers either. They began to push and shove people: "So what if they're extorting money? What's it to you guys?"
Both sides were hot-tempered and started fighting after a few words.
The other camps formed a barrier formation to prevent themselves from being accidentally injured by fluctuations in magic power, and watched the fight between the Big Knife Sect and the Tianji Sect coldly.
The Big Knife Sect was extremely powerful and temporarily gained the upper hand. They broke through the gate of the Tianji Sect, kicked the sect's plaque to pieces, and broke into the sect with great fanfare.
Ye Xiaoman munched on some melon seeds while watching the show, and sighed, "Regardless of whether the Big Knife Sect wins today, at least they helped the Tianyan Sect vent their anger. I guess the rating won't be too low."
The eldest sister said, "They should wait until the last day to take action. You see, they will soon be subdued by the elders of Tianji Sect. In the next few days, they will not be able to do anything."
However, the Big Knife Sect's style of not bothering with internal conflicts and directly engaging in combat was still quite popular with passersby. Soon, a group, probably unable to come up with a good solution, rushed into the mountain gate after the Big Knife Sect and joined forces to cause trouble.
Several teams also came up with a solution. They took out invitations from their arms, put on a peaceful smile, and went to negotiate with Tianjimen.
"Fairy Ye."
Someone patted Ye Xiaoman's shoulder from behind. She looked and saw it was Ya Xuening.
Her fan club Tianxinpai also made it into the top ten.
