Chapter 140: Hun Tian Magic
In mid-June, the fifth day after the beginning of autumn, which was also the fifth day of the Autumn Fight, the number of people in the outer courtyard of Tianshu Academy suddenly increased.
Among them were children of aristocratic families in the capital, leaders of various sects active in Shengjing, and families of students from outer colleges.
This kind of scene of inviting people from outside the academy to watch the autumn competition in the academy has no precedent in the history of Tianshu Academy. It is said that this was done at the suggestion of the Director's Office.
Tianshuyuan had just asked Lingjianshan about the double defeat, and although they were not taken advantage of, the news had already been spread in secret.
The claim that the Great Xia Holy Sect is just a false reputation can actually be often heard from people from other sects in Shengjing.
Therefore, for the Directorate, nothing can better restore the reputation of the academy than inviting everyone to watch the Autumn Fight.
However, when making this decision, the three leaders actually felt very strange.
Because when the inquiry failed, it was Ji You who saved the last bit of reputation of Tianshu Academy.
And now, if he wants to save face, he still has to rely on Qiu Dou, in which he participates.
Soon, the area around the White Jade Platform was crowded with people.
Many outer courtyard disciples stood on the periphery and couldn't help looking inside, their eyes first falling on the west side.
"Look, it's Senior Sister He, who is directly taught by the Zizai Hall in the inner courtyard."
"I've been in Tianshu Academy for three years, and I've never seen a disciple from the inner academy pay attention to a competition between the outer academies."
"This is not unusual. In previous years, there have never been three Tongxuan realms competing for the inner courtyard quota at the same time."
In the sight, He Lingxiu, the direct disciple of Zizai Hall in the inner courtyard, was standing there gracefully, followed by a large group of inner courtyard disciples, most of whom were participants in the Lingjian Mountain Inquiry.
After coming down from Lingjian Mountain, she learned that Ji You had broken through the sword forest, and she had always wanted to see Ji You's swordsmanship.
Therefore, she couldn't miss this confrontation.
In addition to these people, the onlookers also discovered the Chong Palace and Princess Changle, Wei Li and his party, as well as some royal relatives, all seated on both sides of the platform.
Behind them were the officials from other sects who were stationed in Shengjing.
Among this group of people from other sects, the most eye-catching ones were the disciples from Lingjian Mountain wearing sword robes.
In addition to the question of asking, the attention was also because one of the disciples was holding a pen and paper, and seemed to be planning to record something on the spot, but no one knew what he was doing.
Looking towards the center, there are the two heads of the Liangzhou Bai family and the Yunzhou Du family.
Du Zhu has entered the Tongxuan realm and is eligible to participate in the Autumn Fight, but his chances are obviously slim and he can only be a side dish at best.
Bai Rulong has not even entered the Tongxuan realm, so he cannot take part in the Qiu Dou competition.
Therefore, the presence of the two family heads in person inevitably made many disciples feel puzzled.
However, the ones who attracted more attention were the guests from the Chu family in Youzhou. They sat on the east side of the White Jade Terrace, and the one in the front was the head of the Chu family, Chu Xiong.
He was wearing a black brocade robe with cloud patterns and holding a fine porcelain teacup in his hand. He looked intimidating without even getting angry and his aura was unfathomable. Behind him, an old servant who served him tea was also at the Yingtian realm.
"I have heard in the past that the head of the Chu family has reached the Divine Wandering Realm and is only one step away from reaching perfection in the upper five realms. Now looking at his aura, it is indeed true."
"There are only a handful of people who have reached perfection in the upper five realms among the seven major immortal sects. This Chu family really deserves to be the eighth major immortal sect without a Taoist tradition."
"The seven-aperture exquisite body is naturally endowed with Taoism, which may be the reason why they have been prosperous for so long."
Amid the noise, the White Jade Terrace was gradually surrounded, and everywhere one looked there was a sea of people.
Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin, and Pei Ruyi arrived shortly after. The Dragon Immortal Emperor had already reserved seats for them in advance. "It seems that the rules this year require a defending match."
Ban Yangshu sat down and looked up: "Defending the match?"
"Yes, in previous years, there were only two people who could enter the Tongxuan level in the outer courtyard, and they could fight any way they wanted. But this year, there are three, so the head of the courtyard plans to use a defending match to decide the final winner."
Pei Ruyi frowned upon hearing this, and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Who is defending the ring? Could it be Junior Brother Ji? Let Du Zhu use all his strength to consume him first, and then let Chu He attack continuously?"
Bai Rulong opened his mouth when he heard the voice: "It's not that despicable, right?"
"The Office of the Director never does human things..."
"I feel that if it is really so unfair in front of everyone, it would be a slap in the face. Besides, compared to Chu He's admission into the inner courtyard, the courtyard still cares about their reputation the most."
Wen Zhengxin glanced at him and said, "What face does Tianshuyuan have left?"
Bai Rulong: “…”
In the bright sunlight, everyone was looking forward to the champion coming on stage, talking to each other non-stop.
They also felt that it was very likely that Ji You would defend the title.
After all, he has no family background and is the easiest to be "arranged", and the Office of Administration has been favoring Chu He for a long time.
Therefore, if Ji You is really the one defending the ring, then the first one to attack the ring will definitely be Du Zhu, followed by Chu He.
However, what was unexpected was that the person who walked onto the stage in response to everyone's expectations was not Ji You.
The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his jade crown was carved from extremely precious amethyst, and his clothes were all covered with a picture of the sun ascending to the sky woven with gold thread. At this moment, his eyes were calm and deep, and he stood proudly in the sun.
"It's Chu He who is defending the ring?"
Ban Yangshu showed a surprised expression.
Wen Zhengxin frowned: "Could it be that the Directorate really did something wrong this time?"
Pei Ruyi frowned slightly and asked, "Who is challenging me, Junior Brother Ji or Du Zhu?"
Amid the questioning, another person stepped onto the stage and stood in front of Chu He with a stern expression.
He is the challenger this time, holding a long sword in his hand, which is completely black and does not look like an ordinary item.
"Is it Du Zhu? Then Junior Brother Ji is the last one in line?"
Ban Yangshu opened his eyes wide: "Junior Brother Ji sent money, right?"
Bai Rulong shook his head when he heard that: "Impossible, Brother Ji even uses my money to buy things, and I have never seen him willing to pay for others."
At this time, on the high platform, the old servant of the Chu family looked gloomy and could not help looking in the direction of the Office of the Director. He did not seem to understand how this was arranged and why Chu He would defend the first match while Du Zhu would attack.
For the past two months, he had been feeding the young master with his own eyes, so he naturally had confidence in his heart.
The head of the family and the eldest young master also told him that with the second young master in his current state, even a cultivator at the initial stage of Rong Dao would not be able to defeat him easily.
But confidence does not conflict with the desire to be more relaxed, so he still made some arrangements in private, but he didn't know why these arrangements were useless.
The three heads of the Institute of Administration were at the scene at this time. They saw many puzzled looks and their expressions were a little strange.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ji You's performance on Lingjian Mountain really made it difficult for them to do anything biased. They had already decided not to make any more trouble, but the Chu family had given too much...
Anyway, everyone in the hospital is saying that Ji You is very strong, so there is no harm in adjusting the battle order.
So during the drawing process, they took out a box that could block divine thoughts, put in three pieces of paper all containing the words "defending the challenge", and let Ji You draw first.
In their opinion, everything would be fine as long as Ji You was the first to be drawn to defend the title.
But they didn't expect that Ji You swallowed the paper he drew, and then watched Chu He draw the second defending card...
Ji You looked at them with a smile and asked if they needed to draw a third card to see who would challenge.
He also said that cultivating immortals was originally a game for wealthy families, and as a solitary cultivator in the countryside, he had to be cautious.
So the final battle order became the current arrangement.
The Taoism of Tianshuyuan has always emphasized compliance, and Chu He did not show any dissatisfaction, so they acquiesced.
The three masters were reminiscing when they suddenly felt a surge of violence coming towards them. Then the aura on the white jade platform suddenly danced wildly, and a vast and violent spiritual light spread in all directions, which startled them.
With a hum, Chu He drew his sword.
He had studied swordsmanship with Instructor Wang for a few days, but his sword movements now showed no trace of sword moves at all.
It was the most naked straight sword, carrying with it a burst of energy.
The sword that was cutting down was attached and entangled by a purple-red aura that seemed to be the origin. Thunder and wind whistles suddenly rose in the sword energy, extremely fast and powerful.
sonorous!
As the sword fell, the iron knife, wrapped in a majestic spiritual energy, rushed forward, and a strong wind flew during the collision.
Even with the collision of these simple iron tools, Du Zhu took three steps back, feeling a chill running through his body as if it were penetrating deep into his bones.
The next moment, Chu He on the white jade platform soared into the air, surrounded by purple-red air, spiritual energy dancing wildly around him, and a sharp sword suddenly rushed towards him.
Amid the sword light, Chu He's eyes were cold and his aura was filled with murderous intent.
“?!”
The outer court disciples only felt a chill running through their bodies, while most of the inner court disciples could not help but stand up suddenly because of his sword.
Because it is normal for Chu He to have a coercive influence on those who are at a low level.
But the cultivation base of the inner courtyard disciples was higher than Chu He, and at this moment they also felt their scalps tingling.
Looking at Chu He again, his whole body was wrapped in crimson, like a hurricane, and his aura was surging, far beyond everyone's imagination.
With a clang, a blazing sword light slashed down with the spirit sword, making everyone open their eyes wide.
"It's the Chu family's Hun Tian magic!"
“So strong…”
"This Chu He is only at the Tongxuan realm, and can only observe the law but not integrate it. Even if he is teaching at home, how can he be so powerful?"
Under the sword light, the wind was whistling.
Du Zhu gathered all the spiritual energy in his body onto the blade and fought back desperately, but the immortal robe on his body was torn apart by the whistling energy.
He never thought that Chu He would be so cruel, because in his opinion, Ji You should be his target.
Then there was a strong sound of iron shaking, and the arrogant air wave continued to spread with the white jade platform as the center, spreading across the entire venue in an instant.
An aura like purple-red lightning roared into the sky, and as the oncoming iron sword chopped down again, the sword whistled wildly.
At this moment, even He Lingxiu couldn't help but change color slightly, feeling a sense of shock from the purple-red magical aura.
