Chapter 46 Another Accident
Five pairs of eyes looked at me, and I suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Master Wu Chen was not comforted by his disciple. Imagining the looks other sect leaders were giving him, he suddenly didn't want to appear in the sect competition anymore.
Following Ye Qinglan’s explosive remarks, a heated discussion indeed broke out in the forum.
"Why? The Spirit Sword Sect has always been the first in the competition!"
"That's right, Master Wu Chen has always been a very humble person, how come he is so arrogant in private?"
Master Wu Chen covered his face, his reputation was damaged, how did the rumor come about? He just watched it happen right before his eyes.
Ye Qinglan sent another message: Is the Spirit Sword Sect powerful? Do they have Nascent Souls? Have they comprehended the sword intent? Just now, Qi Haoran also comprehended the sword intent. The ninth level of foundation building plus the sword intent is definitely not inferior to the golden elixir.
"What? He has comprehended the sword intent in the foundation-building stage. Is this true? Isn't that more talented than the two Taiqiong duo?"
"No, everyone in the Lingjian Sect is at the Jindan stage, except for their new junior sister. There are two middle Jindan stages and two peak Jindan stages, which puts them firmly in first place in terms of strength. The Taiqiong Sect also has a junior sister who is at the foundation-building stage."
Ye Qinglan immediately said, "Zhong Ling'er is not participating in the competition. It doesn't matter what her cultivation level is. Taiqiong Sect has one Yuanying, one Jindan Peak, one Jindan Middle, and one Jindan Early. Although there is one who is at the ninth level of foundation building, it is not a problem for them to beat Danjin. But they have all comprehended the sword intent, so it is no problem for them to suppress Lingjian Sect!"
"What? They all comprehended the sword intent. Is the sword intent like cabbage? How could all the members of Taiqiong Sect comprehend the sword intent? You must be bragging."
"That's not right. Didn't you say Bai Luochen won't participate in the competition?"
"That's right, you must be talking nonsense. You don't even know who the contestants are."
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and continued, "I'm not talking nonsense. My brother is a core disciple of Taiqiong Sect. He said that the senior brother was attacked, but luckily he was fine. The Sect Master got very angry, so he made some adjustments to the participants. The Sect Master also said that Taiqiong Sect hasn't won first place for a long time and is almost being treated as a soft persimmon. So he asked Bai Luochen to participate in the competition to let everyone know the true strength of Taiqiong Sect."
"What? Ouyang Ruochen was attacked. When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"I saw the sky near Taiqiong Sect being torn apart by lightning. Judging from the pressure, it should be a battle above the fusion level. It seems that something really happened."
"So Master Wu Chen was irritated and wanted to compete for the first place. Tell me, is there any secret behind this?"
"Need I say more? The combined form attacked the Yuanying disciple. No wonder Master Wu Chen got angry!"
The subsequent trend of public opinion developed in the direction of conspiracy theories. Zhong Linger smiled. It was estimated that no one would dare to touch the eldest senior brother now. But let alone the first place in the competition, even the fifth place would not be taken by Taiqiong Sect. So, it depends on how they make their move and who will show up next.
Zhong Ling'er asked Ye Qinglan to pay attention to the developments in the forum. This topic needed to be discussed for at least two more days so that most of the cultivators in Dongzhou would know about it. Then she was taken into the room by her master to discuss whether to keep or discard the eighth-grade talisman in her hand.
Two days before departure, Dean Tianxuan of Tianji Academy came to Taiqiong Sect in person and brought an invitation letter from Tianji Pavilion.
The Shenyu battlefield is in urgent need of manpower, and the monsters are almost rushing to the exit of the magic circle. Manpower has been urgently dispatched from all over the place. Only Ouyang Ruochen in Dongzhou meets the requirements, so this position can only fall on Ouyang Ruochen.
The God's Fall Battlefield is a space left behind after the ancient gods killed the Heavenly Demon. Legend has it that although the Heavenly Demon is dead, his demonic energy is not extinguished, and it transformed into countless monsters and rushed towards the world of cultivation. The gods then turned their bodies into containers to trap these monsters and left a magic circle to seal the entrance.
But as time passed, the entrance magic circle loosened, and many monsters ran out and slaughtered several cities. It was Tianji Pavilion and the monks from various sects who suppressed the monsters and repaired the formation. However, because the monsters kept attacking the formation, the monks were needed to enter and guard it.
However, due to the restrictions of the secret realm's rules, only Nascent Soul cultivators with a bone age of less than fifty years old are allowed to enter. There are very few people who can meet this condition, so there is an unwritten rule in the world of cultivation: whoever is invited by the Tianji Pavilion must go, otherwise he will be charged with disregarding the safety of the world of cultivation.
Of course, the Tianji Pavilion will not let people pay in vain. Anyone who enters the Shenyun Battlefield can get a spiritual vein as wages. Moreover, there are many opportunities in the Shenyun Battlefield, which is very helpful for improving cultivation. Many people are still willing to enter.
Ouyang Ruochen didn't want to go, but did he have the chance to refuse?
"Big Brother wants to participate in the sect competition. Is there no other qualified candidate?"
Qi Haoran asked unwillingly, feeling that the first place in the competition had grown wings and flew away.
Dean Tianxuan smiled, "The Shenyu battlefield concerns the lives of thousands of people, which is more important than the sect competition."
"Wow, it turns out that my senior brother is responsible for the lives and deaths of thousands of people!"
Zhou Yizhuo's lazy voice was heard, full of sarcasm.
Dean Tianxuan twitched the corner of his mouth and kept smiling, "That's not the case, but once a precedent is set, if others follow suit, the consequences will be serious."
"Then can my senior brother come back alive?"
Yu Chengpeng asked directly, expressing everyone's concerns.
Dean Tianxuan put away his smile and said, "Many people came out alive, and they all broke through to the Spiritual Transformation stage."
"You mean to say that life and death are determined by fate after entering, and only after breaking through the Divine Transformation can you be sent out of the secret realm, right?"
Zhong Ling'er asked innocently, but her tone was very cold. She didn't expect that after all the hard work she put into rescuing her senior brother, she would send him to another desperate situation.
Dean Tianxuan's expression also turned cold. "Every cultivator who enters the God's Falling Battlefield is risking their lives. We don't want to see them in danger, but the cultivation world needs them. Protecting the cultivation world is the responsibility of every cultivator."
Zhenren Wu Chen sighed and asked if it was possible to let Ouyang Ruochen go after the competition. The answer he got was no. Tianji Pavilion only gave one day and he had to take people away early the next morning.
At night, the entire Taiqiong Sect was immersed in a sad atmosphere. The elders told Ouyang Ruochen many things and gave him many things. Then the disciples said goodbye to each other.
"Big Brother is going to the battlefield, not the execution ground. Don't look like that. Big Brother will come back."
Bai Luochen spoke gently, easing the heavy atmosphere.
Ouyang Ruochen smiled, "I can't participate in the sect competition anymore. You guys should work hard and at least don't let our sect fall out of the top five."
"Big Brother, don't underestimate us. We can still take first place without you."
Although Qi Haoran looked proud, there were tears in his eyes.
