Chapter 155 It Turns Out to be Witchcraft
"The Zhong family was originally famous for their formations, and their business was also about setting up and repairing formations for others. But now that they have formation plates, fewer people come to them to set up formations. As for repairing formations, I heard that the formations set up by Master Zhong are too abstruse, and they can't repair them. Those who are easy to talk to will find someone else, and those who are not easy to talk to will come to their door every day to make trouble."
"They came to look for Junior Sister. I'm afraid they knew that Junior Sister's formation was powerful and wanted to take her back to work like a slave."
"You're talking nonsense. Ling'er is my daughter. As a mother, can't I come to see her?"
"Are you sure you're just here to see your daughter and don't need Junior Sister to do anything?"
Qi Haoran stared at Li Sirou with a look of anticipation, hoping that she would say the three words "no need".
But Li Sirou couldn't say these words. She came not only to see her daughter, but also wanted her daughter to leave Taiqiong Sect and return home. The elders of the Zhong family were all about to run away, and now without a master of formations in charge, the Zhong family would decline. Moreover, it was heard that the teleportation formation in the two southeastern states was also set up by her. If the formation map was handed over to the Zhong family, the Zhong family would surely be able to regain its glory.
"Ling'er, be good, listen to mother and sit next to mother so that mother can take a good look at you!"
Li Sirou avoided Qi Haoran's question and instead looked at Zhong Ling'er with a loving face.
Zhong Ling'er felt the long-lost feeling of restraint coming back, and her body stood up uncontrollably, "Mother, Ling'er listens to you."
Zhong Ling'er took only one step, and Bai Luochen immediately realized something was wrong. He picked up Zhong Ling'er and ran away, leaving only a cold voice in the distance, "Throw her out!"
"Okay!" This is what Qi Haoran likes to do the most, punishing those who bully his junior sister. Not only will the senior brothers not beat him, they will also give him chicken legs.
Qi Haoran picked up Li Sirou and her group and threw them into a ravine far away from Taiqiong Sect. Before leaving, he kicked them one by one and said, "Junior Sister has nothing to do with you. If you dare to come to my house again, I will beat you up every time I see you."
Zhong Ling'er recovered after being taken away from Li Sirou. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. After listening to the second senior brother's comforting words, Zhong Ling'er went back to her room alone to rest.
"What happened just now was not God's will. We in Heaven's Will do things without forcing people to do things. Instead, we do things based on cause and effect. To put it bluntly, we will lay the groundwork and let everything happen naturally. This approach seems like a kind of sorcery."
Zhong Ling'er was shocked. It was evil magic. That made sense. She would be like this when she saw Zhong Yuxue and Li Sirou. But as long as she stayed away from the Zhong family, these things would not happen. So it must be that the Zhong family was using evil magic to control her.
It seems that the Heavenly Dao doesn't hate her. It turns out to be a sorcery. But what kind of sorcery is it and how to break it?
It is hard to tell what the will of heaven is. Evil magic must be kept secret. How could it possibly know that if it knew of its existence, it would be struck into ashes by a blast of purple divine thunder.
Zhong Ling'er recalled her memories of her past life several times but couldn't find any clues. She thought that she had been bewitched before she could remember anything.
There is no rush. Since she knows there is a problem, she will go back to the Zhong family sooner or later to find the answer and make those who have wronged the original owner pay the price.
The last game was in a few days, and Zhong Ling'er was so busy with the game that she put the matter aside.
The fifth direct challenge match was held in Tianhua City. Originally, the Dongzhou sect did not like the Tianji Pavilion and wanted to hold it in another place. For the sake of face, Master Tianming used threats and inducements to maintain the original plan.
Well, it can’t be said that it hasn’t changed at all, the rules of the game have been changed a bit.
The original rule was to draw lots to form groups of two, with a total of eleven groups competing. Each group would play five games and three wins. The winning team would enter the top eleven, and then the eleven teams behind could challenge the top eleven teams. If they won, they would replace the opponent's ranking, but each sect could only challenge once.
When the final eleven are determined, these eleven groups will draw lots again, and compete in pairs to decide the top five. The five defeated sects and the sect that received a bye will then challenge again.
The last round of the competition is more brutal, it can be said to be a non-stop competition, with five teams facing off in pairs, all of which have to play once, and the top five places will be determined by the final points.
Because the twelve major sects will be decided, the competition for the twelfth place is very fierce. One has to defeat the other ten sects to get this position.
Of course, in order to save time, there are five arenas, so multiple matches can be held at the same time.
The previous rules were: no harm to people's lives, no use of talismans, elixirs and magical instruments that were above the fifth grade, but now the rules are much more detailed.
Firstly, they could not use their own weapons and had to use the ordinary spirit swords that were distributed uniformly. There was no other way as all members of the Taiqiong Sect had magical weapons and the gap was too big, so they could not fight without changing weapons.
Secondly, the use of formation disks is not allowed. That thing is too disgusting. If once on the stage, the two sides do not start a war but instead each throws a formation disk to trap the other side, then we won't have to watch the game, just watch them chiseling the formation walls on the stage.
Finally, everyone can only use one skill. In fact, most people only know one. However, there are two people in Taiqiong Sect who are practicing dual cultivation. No, Zhong Ling'er is practicing more than dual cultivation. Therefore, she must be restricted and must not be allowed to use everything.
And one thing needs to be emphasized here, you are not allowed to use things that you did not make yourself. Sword practitioners can only use swords, talisman practitioners can only use talismans they draw themselves, and weapon practitioners can only use weapons they refine themselves. No one wants to see a talisman practitioner using Zhong Ling'er's improved version of the immobilization talisman to immobilize the opponent and then kill him instantly. How can one's true level be determined by comparing like this!
Zhong Ling'er felt that she was being targeted, but she had no evidence.
In fact, their sect's first place is already secured, so why should they keep targeting her?
After the Master of Xuanyuan Pavilion finished explaining the rules, many people looked at Zhong Ling'er with amusement.
"Junior sister, you are so amazing that you have changed the rules of the competition for you!"
The people in the stands shouted at Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Linger waved happily at the stands and shouted, "You are wrong. The rules were not changed because of me. I made the rules of the game more perfect."
Many people laughed out loud. Is there a difference? Of course there is, the latter statement is more pleasant to the ear!
"Junior sister, what are you applying for, talisman cultivation or formation cultivation?"
Zhong Ling'er was willing to chat with them, and many people were also willing to tease Zhong Ling'er, so a flurry of conversation began.
"Sword cultivator, my real identity is a sword cultivator!"
Zhong Ling'er swung the mace in her hand, but found something wrong, so she put it away and replaced it with a long sword. She also made a sword flower to prove that she could use the sword.
The crowd below was boiling with excitement. A sword cultivator? How is that possible? The junior sister didn't look like a sword cultivator at all. In the previous few games, she was either setting up formations or drawing talismans, and occasionally refining a weapon, but I had never seen her use a sword.
