Chapter 31 Capture the Flag
Behind him were a dozen or so Qiu Tianzong disciples. They looked young, but their cultivation was above the Xuan level.
The thin elder of Qiu Tianzong turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, I am Yu Maode of Qiu Tianzong. You can call me Elder Yu. I believe you already know that today is the day when our Qiu Tianzong holds a competition in Lingyan Forest. The young generation of the nine countries have signed up enthusiastically to participate. I am very pleased."
"The top three people can enter our Qiutian Sect as inner disciples. The top ten can also receive generous rewards."
Hearing this, many young practitioners became even more excited.
Everyone was talking about it.
Elder Yu glanced at the contestants with an unclear look in his eyes, and then he announced in a loud voice: "This competition lasts for three days. The rules are to capture flags in various places in Lingyan Forest. The more flags you capture, the higher your ranking. I have to remind you that accidents often happen during competitions, so even if someone encounters danger in Lingyan Forest, it has nothing to do with us, Qiu Tianzong. If you are afraid, you can choose to give up now."
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
What Elder Yu meant by metaphor is that it is possible to kill in this game.
If someone really died, it would have nothing to do with their Qiu Tian Sect. This was equivalent to signing a life and death contract.
Some of the contestants looked pale and felt uneasy because they had never participated in this kind of competition before. If they really encountered danger, they thought they would not be able to cope with it.
What's more, there are unknown dangers hidden in the Lingyan Forest. Do you really want to gamble with your life?
One of the teenagers weakly raised his hand and said, "I give up."
With this precedent set, many contestants chose to abstain.
Suddenly, nearly a thousand people were missing.
And what was surprising was that Chen Yan was still standing there.
In an instant, her presence attracted everyone's attention.
"Is she crazy? Doesn't she know her own weight? She doesn't have any spiritual power at all, and she still wants to continue participating in the competition?"
"Didn't they say her brain is fine? Why does she look like she's gone crazy now?"
"Oh, if Chen Yan just wanted to be a quiet waste, I wouldn't say a word to her, but she is still a waste without knowing it, she is just asking for trouble!"
"Does the Shen family really not care about her?"
"Does she really think she's a genius like Shen Huai? She can't even compare to Shen Xue!"
"I'm speechless! It would be best if she died in Lingyan Forest!"
“…”
At this time, the head of the Shen family, who was staying with the major forces of the Nine Countries, heard these discussions and glanced at Chen Yan with a gloomy look.
Seeing this, Patriarch Lu of the Nanxiao Kingdom's spiritual plant family stroked his beard and said teasingly, "Patriarch Shen, why don't you call back that girl Chen Yan?"
The head of the Shen family had a cold expression on his face: "She has nothing to do with my Shen family anymore."
Patriarch Lu was surprised. He thought that Chen Yan's breaking off relations with the Shen family a few days ago was just a momentary outburst of anger. He did not expect that Patriarch Shen actually admitted in person that the breaking off of relations was true.
He quickly thought of Shen Tianhao.
With how much Shen Tianhao loves Shen Yan…
Patriarch Lu looked around and asked, "Where's Tianhao? Why didn't Tianhao come?"
If Shen Tianhao were here, he would never let Shen Yan put herself in danger.
Patriarch Shen naturally didn't want to tell Patriarch Lu that Shen Tianhao was being watched over by his own supreme elder, so he found an excuse to evade the matter.
Little did he know that the head of the Lu family didn't believe him either.
At this time, the middle-aged man standing not far from the head of the Shen family also stared at Chen Yan. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he murmured: "That's good, that's good..."
The middle-aged man was wearing a bright and beautiful brocade robe and had a scar on his cheek. He was the prince of Nanxiao Kingdom, Nangong Tingchen, the younger brother of the emperor of Nanxiao Kingdom, and the father of Nangong Yu.
Back then, it was he and Shen Tianhao who arranged the marriage between Nangong Yu and Chen Yan.
The engagement is still there.
This marriage contract made Nan Gong Tingchen regret it to the core!
Who knew that Shen Tianhao's daughter would be such a thing!
It's really unlucky!
Because of Shen Yan's existence, he was ridiculed by many people behind his back.
Chen Yan's participation in this competition was exactly what he wanted!
Nangong Tingchen raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu seemed to sense his father's gaze. When the father and son looked at each other, they understood each other's intentions and thoughts.
Nangong Yu smiled and nodded slightly.
Immediately, Nangong Yu's gaze stayed on Shen Yan for a moment, and when he lowered his eyes, he concealed the gloom in his eyes.
After so many years, he must get rid of this waste once and for all! She was able to survive last time, but this time it might not be possible!
Because he will dismember her!
Cut off her head and limbs so that she can't survive.
Nangong Yu’s eyes became more and more crazy.
…
At this time, Elder Yu of Qiu Tianzong also noticed Chen Yan's existence. When he saw Chen Yan for the first time, he really couldn't regard her as a waste, because she was very beautiful, had an indescribable temperament, and her eyes were very sharp.
There is also a bit of murderous intent.
Elder Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Yan seriously.
I found that she really had no spiritual power.
strangeness.
He has seen countless people, and judging from the invisible murderous aura emanating from Chen Yan, he cannot be a waste.
"Elder, they are all waiting." At this time, a disciple of Qiu Tianzong came closer and reminded.
Elder Yu retracted his gaze and began to announce: "Flags have been placed in various places in Lingyan Forest. After one stick of incense, the contestants can enter Lingyan Forest and start the official competition."
One contestant asked, "Elder Yu, how many flags are there in total?"
Elder Yu said in a mysterious tone: "You don't need to know, you just need to know that the more flags you pull out, the higher your ranking will be."
As soon as these words were spoken, contestants from all nine countries felt nervous and stressed.
After all, even if you get the flag, you can't predict where you will be ranked.
Famous talents from nine countries all stood in the forefront. They were in high spirits and a little more relaxed than other contestants.
Among so many contestants, the one with the highest cultivation level is Zhuge Weiran, the seventh prince of the Red Phoenix Kingdom, who is at the tenth level of the Yellow Rank Realm.
The second was Jiang Xianyue, the eldest daughter of a weapon-refining family in Xuanwu Country. Her cultivation was at the ninth level of the Yellow Rank Realm. She was seventeen years old, petite, with two pigtails, a pretty face, long and curled eyelashes, but she was wearing a dark suit.
The one who has the same level of cultivation as Jiang Xianyue is the Lotus Kingdom's Crown Prince Ouyang Hong. He is nineteen years old, dressed in a golden robe, with long limbs, an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are exceptionally sharp.
Then there are Shen Xue and Nangong Jin who are at the eighth level of the Yellow Realm, as well as the top talents from other countries.
At this time, Chen Yan, in the crowd, raised her eyes and looked at Elder Yu and other disciples of Qiu Tianzong. She narrowed her eyes slightly, because she always felt that Qiu Tianzong was trying to achieve other things by holding the competition in Lingyan Forest this time.
Even if a large sect wants to recruit disciples in the Nine Countries, it is impossible for it to only give out three places.
So, it is very likely a fraud.
