Chapter 169 Tough Inspection
The monks in the stands were in an uproar.
"What's going on? Leng Qingyu actually admitted defeat. This is not his character."
"What's so unclear about this? He knew he couldn't beat the Taiqiong Sect, so he just saved his energy to fight for second place. If they get second place in this match, they will be ranked fifth overall and still one of the top five sects."
"Even in this situation, he still wants to join the five major sects. Zhong Yuxue's black aura is very conspicuous in Lingze. If this matter cannot be explained clearly, he should be expelled from the Dongzhou sect."
"Speaking of Zhong Yuxue, I feel sorry for my little junior sister. She is so young and pretended to be strong after the fight, but she burst into tears when she saw Master's wife. It's so pitiful."
"Zhong Ling'er said she wanted to attend the wedding of Master and Master's Wife. It seems Master Wu Chen is about to get married."
Master Wu Chen spat out all the tea he had in his mouth. How could good things be so soon? He hadn't done anything. So, just relying on his little disciple's words, he was going to get married?
Bai Luochen looked at Gu Yanze who was fighting against Lingjian Sect in the next match. Their eyes met and they nodded slightly. He had never had a good impression of Lingjian Sect in the first place, and now that his junior sister had been injured, it goes without saying. Originally, he just wanted to consume them, but now he was beating them to death.
When Zhong Ling'er came back after cleaning the wound, she truly witnessed what ice and fire meant.
The arena where the Soul Sword Sect was located was more of a sparring session than a competition. Most of the people stopped fighting and tacitly saved their energy to punish the Soul Sword Sect.
The Lingjian Sect was in a miserable state. The fight was so violent that their faces were bruised and bloody. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a fight of life and death.
No matter who came on stage, they would beat the Lingjian Sect's disciples to death. Even Leng Qingyu, who was always respected by his peers, was not spared. The wounds on his body increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if he won, no one cheered, but booed instead.
Qin Dongxu met Li Qingyao and was defeated by half a move. Lingjian Sect lost to Wanluo Sect and was certain to have no chance of second place. At this point, Lingjian Sect's position as one of the five major sects was no longer secure, and there were cries of grief, but Fengming Sect was greeted with cheers.
The following matches were boring. The Lingjian Sect had lost its fighting spirit and could only get beaten. The other sects were just going through the motions, so the match came to an end before the afternoon.
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan announced the results of the competition.
In the fifth competition, Taiqiong Sect came first, Wuji Sect came second, Wanluo Sect came third, Feixing Sect came fourth, and Lingjian Sect came fifth.
In the overall ranking of the competition, Taiqiong Sect won first place in all five games and was far ahead in the total score, and was the well-deserved first place.
The Wuji Sect ranked second and the Wanluo Sect ranked third. The two sects were very satisfied as they finally managed to retain their top five rankings.
The fourth was the Feixing Sect, and the fifth was the Fengming Sect. These two sects had unexpectedly squeezed into the list of the top five sects for the first time. It was truly a surprise and joy, and it was the most exciting thing in the venue.
Lingjian Sect ranked sixth, Tianyu Sect ranked tenth, and Danxiang Pavilion ranked twelfth. The three sects that were originally high and mighty all ended up in a miserable way.
Lingjian Sect and Danxiang Pavilion were the ones who suffered the most. Not only did they lose the largest and best spiritual vein, they also lost the management rights of the city, and more importantly, the right to make decisions on Dongzhou affairs.
The Tianyu Sect was very unwilling to accept this. Everything had been laid out in place, but Taiqiong Sect, no, it should be said that it was Zhong Ling'er who messed things up, and hundreds of years of hard work went to waste.
After cheering for a while, everyone was ready to disperse, when suddenly a beam of light appeared in the sky above Tianhua City, constantly sweeping through the crowd, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is my Tianji Pavilion's Sky-peek Mirror. Some of the things lost last night have Tianji Pavilion's unique marks. As long as they are scanned by the Sky-peek Mirror, they will appear. Why don't you wait for a moment?"
Zhenren Tianming stood in mid-air and spoke to everyone with a smile, but he was being polite while the Sky-peeking Mirror kept moving without stopping for a moment, ignoring the monks' avoidance in disgust.
"Master Tianming, you are going to check each of us. It's not a good idea to do this without consent."
"That's right. We're not thieves. Why should we check you?"
"Master Tianming, you are too disrespectful to us. How can you do things like this?"
Facing the dissatisfaction of the crowd, Tianming Zhenren sighed and said, "The books in Tianji Academy are lost. This is a big matter. I have no choice but to do this. I hope you can forgive me."
He spoke sincerely, but did not back down at all. He had made up his mind, and he would check it no matter whether anyone objected or not!
But what can everyone do? Go up and fight with Master Tianming?
Stop joking. He is a powerful person who has just passed the tribulation. He can smash a mountain with one slap. Going up there will only lead to your death.
So I could only hold back my dissatisfaction, and at most I would complain a few words without causing any harm, and persuade myself that since I didn't steal anything, I could just use the mirror to look at the mirror as I pleased.
Zhong Ling'er was also speechless. She could now understand her master's anger and helplessness last night. It was estimated that Master Tianming had intervened in the sect meeting in Dongzhou in such a forceful way and managed to save Li Senting.
The clairvoyance in her hand slowly turned. Although Dean Tianxuan had just turned off the clairvoyance above the ring, he didn't know that she could turn it on at any time.
Everything here was transmitted to various cities in Dongzhou and Nanzhou through the Taiqiong Mirror. Many people who were watching the Dongzhou competition were about to disperse when they saw the tough and shameless behavior of the Tianji Pavilion Master. They all said that it was an eye-opener and even more exciting than today's competition.
Zhong Ling'er took the initiative to step forward, smiling very cutely, and said to the mirror in the sky: "Mirror, your master has doubted me a lot today. Please take a look at me first, so that you can help me clear the suspicion."
The mirror really shone towards Zhong Ling'er, but there was nothing. The mirror seemed to be unbelieving and flew down from the sky, giving Zhong Ling'er a deep soul scan.
Zhong Ling'er looked at the mirror with a smile and suddenly asked, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, please tell me, who is the most beautiful person in this world?"
Jingzi was working seriously and ignored Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Linger shook her head and sighed, "So you are just a useless mirror. You said you are a sky-penetrating mirror, but other than being able to read people's minds, what else are you good for? You can't even answer such a simple question. You are such a waste!"
The mirror began to tremble, as if it was angered by Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Ling'er hurriedly comforted him, "Hey, don't be angry, I shouldn't have called you useless, you are very useful. I have read the ancient book that says you can present the images in the minds of the monks, then do you dare to see what I am thinking?"
The mirror did not react at all, and the surface was still filled with white light.
Zhong Ling'er is not someone who gives up easily. She held her chin with her hand like a gun and said, "I know where the book was lost in Tianji Academy. I'm thinking about that place. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"
