Chapter 238: Everyone went to Cangwu Dojo?
There were a total of thirty Tiandaohui Tongxuan realm duels, which were carried out fiercely over three days.
There were ten fierce battles on the first day, ten fierce battles on the second day, and the last ten games on the third day.
The focus of everyone's attention is on the second day's schedule.
Because the contestants on the second day are more interesting than those on the first and third days.
When the sun was high in the sky at noon, a powerful sword move like a landslide came crashing down on the Tianji Dojo. Lin Chuan, the only son of the Lin family, a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, could not help but tremble slightly with his hands, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his ferocious mouth.
But before he could stand firmly, a sword with a chilling aura came through the air, and the sharp sword energy instantly spread out the air wave that had not yet subsided.
Lin Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hastily raised his sword to block. The blade, with sparks flying all over it, blocked most of the whistling sword energy, but a ray of sharp sword energy still brushed past his left shoulder, instantly tearing open his brocade robe. Bright red blood gushed out, staining the luxurious fabric with a blinding stain.
Lin Chuan is not an unknown person. On the contrary, he is also a famous genius in Yuzhou.
Moreover, the Lin family is related by marriage to the merchant branch of the Wendao Sect. Although he was not included in the Immortal Sect because he was not under any supervision, the resources he had for cultivation were actually no less than those of the Immortal Sect's disciples.
At this moment, Zhuang Zixin, who was standing opposite him, couldn't help but breathe lightly after slashing with the sword, and then raised his cold eyes.
Amid the audience, Zhuang Zixin turned his wrist, and a round sword shadow like a silver moon in the sky, accompanied by a whistling wind, slashed down towards Lin Chuan.
With a clang, sparks flew...
On the other side, Qiyun Dojo.
Li Yunzhao, the second son of the old royal family Li and the younger brother of Li Yunlang, fought with an iron spear, like a cold dragon emerging from a cave. However, facing the opponent's strange and unpredictable mother-and-child heavy sword, his rapidly rotating spiritual energy gradually began to run out during the rapid breathing.
The sword that was aimed at his heart was blocked by his family's secret technique, the Sun Divine Art, but then the opponent's sword stabbed into his shoulder bone.
His opponent, Yan Hao, the grandson of the master of Tianjian Peak, was slightly injured after a fierce battle, but was basically fine. He ended the duel with a heavy sword, adjusted his hair crown and walked down the stage amid the admiring gazes of everyone.
Yan Hao’s fighting style has always been known to be swift and decisive. Once the heavy sword in his hand comes out, it is as powerful as thunder and landslide, suppressing all directions.
Since the first round of the group stage, many people have been watching him play.
They have always felt that Yan Hao's sub-sword was not strong, and the reason it existed was purely to make up for the disadvantage of slow movement speed caused by the heavy sword.
But after the battle with Lin Chuan today, everyone discovered that the lethality of his rapier was completely different from before, and the lightning-fast sword strike made it difficult for people to react.
On the other side, the fierce confrontation at Xingchi Dojo was no less intense than these two.
At that time, Li Yunlang was filled with magic, like a golden sun, with energy bursting out of his body and his steps as fast as the wind. The sharp sword in his hand was even more fierce and swift. Right from the start, he defeated a disciple of an elder of Lingjian Mountain, making it difficult for him to draw his sword, let alone gain momentum.
The way of the sword is like this. If the sword energy cannot be gathered and connected into a continuous force, it will be difficult to exert its true power.
However, there are countless sword techniques in Lingjian Mountain, and this elder's personal disciple has some skills. He changed his sword intent several times and almost succeeded in counterattacking, but each time he was suddenly attacked by the opponent with his iron spear.
In the end, he was whipped off the stage by the gun barrel and was knocked all over the stage by the barrier.
However, the confrontation between the Tiandao Society will not develop as everyone expected, and there will always be unexpected things happening.
Just like in a duel in the Qiyun Dojo in the afternoon, Wei Yingmeng, the daughter of the Shanhai Pavilion branch master, was unexpectedly defeated.
There are many female cultivators in Qingyun World. Because they are meticulous and can see the big picture from details, their comprehension is higher than that of men, and their cultivation speed is also faster. However, the combat power of female cultivators is often not high, and they will not stand out too much among those in the same realm.
However, Wei Yingmeng is a counterexample.
It is said that she has been dressed like a boy since she was a child, and has never been inferior to others in training and fighting.
In fact, many people have made predictions for this Tiandao Conference, and Wei Yingmeng is expected to be the one who can enter the top ten.
In the second round, she met an opponent from the Zhu family in Qingzhou, named Zhu Shun.
Zhu Shun was actually not very famous, and was not as eye-catching as his brother Zhu Yao who joined the Wendao Sect. In fact, before the Tiandao Conference began, few people paid attention to him.
But as the fight between the two began, everyone found that Wei Yingmeng seemed a little confused. She fell into a disadvantage after several collisions and unfortunately lost on the round table.
This result caused an uproar among the onlookers. They all stood up and stared, feeling dazed for a moment.
“It turned out to be like this…”
"What kind of magic is that?"
"The Ming Yang technique passed down from generation to generation in the Zhu family."
In the subsequent battle, the biggest highlight was the two people named You Bai and Hao Feng.
The You family and the Hao family are not well-known in Jiuzhou and are considered lower-class families, but these two people, like the previous Bayan, are both Linsai breakthroughs.
In the second round of Tiandaohui, both of them won the duel, and the difference in realm made their opponents retreat regretfully.
And those who lost to them were not unknown juniors. One was a descendant of a thousand-year-old family, and the other was a descendant of a family related to the Chen family.
From this we can see that being at a higher level really makes a big difference and it is difficult to make up for it in other ways.
Different from the lively atmosphere in the entire Sages Garden is the mood of the people in Tianshu Academy.
Wang Gaocen lost.
His opponent today was a disciple of an elder of Shanhai Pavilion, and the two fought until the third round.
Wang Gaocen was considered to be a person with good combat capability among the Tongxuan realm cultivators in Tianshu Academy. He was evenly matched with the disciples of Shanhai Pavilion. The fight was fierce and dangerous.
What he used were the orthodox methods of the Tianshu Academy. Although his power was not as great as those of his senior brothers and sisters who had reached the Rong Dao realm, he was worthy of the title of a disciple of the Immortal Sect. He moved like a gust of wind and his sword was powerful.
Unfortunately, in the third match, he was still one move behind his opponent and was directly pressed down on the stage by the disciple of Shanhai Pavilion with his Qi power, and was almost stabbed through the heart.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he used a self-defense weapon, turned over and killed the opponent, but in the end he was killed by a knife.
At this time, he walked out of Lingxi Dojo and looked towards the Sages Garden with a somewhat gloomy look.
He is the grandson of the elder of the Heavenly Academy. He has been living a life of luxury since childhood and is considered a genius among his peers. This time he comes to participate in the Tiandao Conference, his goal is to compete for the first place.
However, out of humility and caution, he has always announced to the public that he wants to be in the top ten.
Anyone who comes here to participate in the duel does so to enter the deepest part of the holy land of the sages.
But this confrontation was like a blow to his head, which made him confused and suddenly realized that he was actually weaker and more mediocre than he thought.
Looking at the long white marble road, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he was about to go back, because he didn't know how he should tell others that he had lost.
But just when he was in a trance, a group of disciples from the Tianshu Academy suddenly appeared in the Yuyu Dojo, which was adjacent to the Lingxi Dojo. They hurried out carrying a bamboo rattan rack and ran directly towards the gate along the white marble road.
Wang Gaocen was stunned for a moment and his eyes widened involuntarily.
Because the man lying on the rattan trellis covered in blood was none other than his fellow disciple Gu Zetao.
After staring for a long time, Wang Gaocen saw Wei Han, the disciple of the Head Academy who was following Gu Zetao, and saw that he also had a solemn expression and dim eyes.
Wang Gaocen came back to his senses: "What happened to Zetao?"
Wei Han pursed his lips and said, "Junior Brother Gu lost."
"I remember his opponent was from the Wendao Sect?"
"Ye Qing of the Dao Sect lost both matches, and his body was shattered by the opponent."
Wei Han had just been in the Yu Yu Dojo and watched the entire process of Gu Zetao's fight.
Ye Qing attacked fiercely and displayed tremendous energy as soon as he came on the field. Moreover, his combat experience far exceeded that of Gu Zetao, so unsurprisingly he won the victory.
At this time, the head of the Office of Administration who had heard the news came up to them, listened to Wei Han's report, and took another look at Wang Gaocen's miserable appearance with his hair crown broken, his face looked very ugly.
By this stage, except for the Dan Sect which did not participate in the war, every other sect among the seven major immortal sects had suffered a defeat.
For example, Chen Shuo from the Chen family, and the daughter of the branch master of Shanhai Pavilion.
But only their Tian Shuyuan lost two people in one day, and one of them, Gu Zetao, was even carried off the field. This was really embarrassing.
Some of the onlookers were from aristocratic families in the capital, such as Prince Chong and his entourage. At this moment, they all walked out of the Lingxi Dojo and Yuyu Dojo, looking a little nervous.
They lived in Shengjing, and were quite distant from the Tianshu Academy. The people they made friends with were all cultivators from the Tianshu Academy, so it was not surprising that they came here to watch the battle.
But they really didn't expect that Tian Shuyuan would lose two games in a row, and even one of their students was seriously injured and unconscious.
Looking back, they had all watched the Tiandaohui preliminaries.
They were not aware of the behind-the-scenes meddling by the Council of Elders, but they all knew that Wang Gaocen and Gu Zetao were carefully selected from among the many people in the academy. And this is the result? While they were whispering, another group of pro-immortal officials came from Jingyang Taoist Temple and joined them.
After learning that the two masters of Tianshu Academy had lost, this group of latecomers also brought another bad news.
"In the Rong Dao Realm, a disciple from the Heavenly Academy almost lost."
"who?"
"Xiao Hanyan."
"I almost lost, but I didn't lose. The second round was very dangerous. It takes skill to win."
"In fact, he was going to lose, but at the last moment, Xiao Hanyan secretly threw out a magic weapon."
"It's not like the Tiandao Society doesn't forbid the use of magical instruments, this isn't a big deal."
"It is not forbidden to use magic weapons, but it is a common practice that if you want to bring magic weapons to the field, you still need to make it known in advance. Doing it secretly like this seems a bit unfair."
"How could this happen? They are clearly from the Great Xia Holy Sect..."
"The Holy Land of the Sages was the place where the holy instruments were used to preach. One year of cultivation is equivalent to ten years of cultivation. It is normal to use some means to enter it. However, the reputation of the Heavenly Academy will be in jeopardy in the future."
The spiritual energy flows like the sea, and the flashes of swords are as fast as lightning.
You come and I go, one wins and one loses
People were constantly coming and going in the nine major arenas. Some of them held their heads high and looked victorious, while others looked dazed and embarrassed.
As for the onlookers, some of the young people felt that their faith was blocked by the miraculous performances in the arena, and had a feeling that they could not catch up. Some old people could not help but sigh in their hearts that they must have been not as good as him when they were young.
In the past two years, there have been rumors in the world that the human race is about to run out of luck, so that the barbarians and demons are all harboring ulterior motives and are ready to make moves.
The attack on Hantie Pass, entering Kyushu in the name of trade, and the attempt to form an alliance are all things that happened in the past two years.
But after watching the second round of the Tiandao Conference, many people felt that the talk of the end of luck was sheer nonsense.
Looking at this scene of hundreds of flowers blooming, the human race is clearly ushering in a golden age.
The scenery in the Xianxian Garden is elegant, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, but after all, it is a little too large and not suitable for heated discussions.
However, the teahouses and taverns around Zhongxing County City, which developed based on the gathering of immortal cultivators, are extremely suitable.
As the sun sets in the west, the restaurants in Zhongxing County are packed with people, with thousands of red lights on. People are constantly drinking together and talking endlessly about today's battle.
"Li Yunlang from the Zhongzhou Li family has performed better than I thought. I think he definitely has a place in the top ten."
"I agree with that, but the Zhu brothers seem to be people who should not be underestimated."
"Don't forget Zhuang Zixin. His performance is also very impressive, and he is of the right age. I have a granddaughter who is still unmarried."
"Speaking of Zhuang Zixin, his elder brother Zhuang You is also surprising. I heard that he only used ten swords at noon today and defeated a disciple of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion."
"The most powerful one must be Yan Hao from Lingjian Mountain. I have been watching his battles these past few days and I always feel that he hasn't used his full strength yet."
"There is also Shang Xiyao's younger brother Shang Zhou from the Daodao Sect, and Wen Song from the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace..."
"Everyone, don't forget, in addition to the people you mentioned, there are also three people who have just broken through the realm of Linsai in this battle of Tongxuan realm. Although there is a small realm difference, they have finally crossed the threshold of Tongxuan and Rongdao."
"In that case, it's not certain who will get the top ten spots."
"In previous Tiandao Conferences, the top ten places were basically determined by the second round, but this year it's still uncertain..."
"Hey, don't forget there are still ten games tomorrow. Maybe the number of people will continue to increase."
"Yes, there must be someone who has hidden his strength in the group stage. There is no doubt about that. After all, there are still some disciples of the Immortal Sect who have not yet faced off. But speaking of the Immortal Sect, the Heavenly Academy seems to be in a bit of a bad shape this time."
"It is said that two were lost?"
"Three."
"Why are there three?"
"Someone secretly used a magic weapon. Anyway, the result was somewhat controversial. The Tiandao Society was not competing to see whose magic weapon was stronger. Even if they won the battle, they would still lose some reputation."
Ji You watched the game for a day, and after coming back he found out that Tian Academy had lost two games in a row today, including the duel with Xiao Hanyan. Although they won, they seemed to have been criticized. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the academy was so quiet today and no one was drinking tea.
Wen Siyuan even came over specially to talk with him, but he did not talk about the losing streak. He just reminded him in a serious tone to be more cautious in the battle tomorrow morning.
This sentence was probably not what he wanted to say, but what the Directorate asked him to say.
Seeing that the three masters, whose mission is to maintain the dignity of the sect, have begun to get nervous, it is estimated that they are not in a good mood today.
This is normal. Among the seven immortal sects, only the Tianshu Academy is crowned with the title of Saint Sect. Such a record is really unworthy of the title...
Because the second day of the second round of the Tiandao Conference was so exciting, many people were looking forward to the showdown on the third day.
So early the next morning, countless people set out from their own gardens and inns and headed for the dojo in the Garden of Sages.
Some people chatted with friends all night last night, and when they went out, they still had a slight smell of alcohol on them.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant stayed up all night, counting the silver in the bowls and seeing the guests off with a smile.
Several direct disciples of Lingjian Mountain, several direct disciples of the Chen family, and several highly-anticipated seeded descendants of thousand-year-old families will all finish the race today.
Among them, the new Taoist genius Zhu Yao from the Wendao Sect, Chen Ruiyang from the Chen clan, and Murong family's eldest daughter Murong Yu attracted much attention. In addition, some people who performed quite well in the group stage were also paid attention to.
Following the white marble road, everyone walked towards the nine major Taoist temples, passing the Qiyun Taoist Temple and the Tianji Taoist Temple along the way.
When they passed by the Cangwu Dojo, some of them couldn't help but stop for a moment, then turned around and walked in.
Chen Ruiyang’s fight today will be held at the Cangwu Dojo, and this group of people came just for his fight.
Lu Xiong, the head of the Lu family, also came here at this time, looking around aimlessly, intending to find a dojo to watch the fight.
Three of the Lu family members lost in the first round, but the rest managed to enter the second round by luck.
But luck is not something that comes often, so they all lost in the second round.
But the Lu family has some friendly relations with some noble families, and there is a showdown today, so he naturally will not sit idle in the garden.
At this moment, Lu Xiong met Lou Jingzhi, the head of the Lou family, in front of the gate of Cangwu Dojo.
Although the Lou family and the Lu family were not close, they did have some dealings in the spirit stone business, and both of them now lived in Lianxing Garden, so they had met and chatted for a few minutes.
Lou Jingzhi looked at Lu Xiong at this time, bowed slightly and said: "Brother Lu, good morning."
"Morning, Brother Lou."
"Is there anyone from the Lu family competing today?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiong waved his hands and said, "My children are not very competitive. They all lost yesterday. I may not be able to sit still, so I decided to come out and watch the fight."
Lou Jingzhi nodded, and then couldn't help but say, "After meeting Brother Lu a few days ago, I suddenly remembered something, and I have been thinking about finding a time to have a good chat with Brother Lu."
"Oh? I wonder what Brother Lou is doing?"
"It's like this. I still have a son who is unmarried at home. As a father, I am quite worried. Then I suddenly remembered that Brother Lu seems to have a daughter Yunying who is ready to get married?"
When Lu Xiong heard what he said, he naturally knew that his subtext was that he hoped the two families could have a chance to get married. He pursed his lips for a while and then said softly, "So this is what Brother Lou meant. I do have two daughters waiting to be married, but I still need to discuss this matter with my wife."
Lou Jingzhi smiled after hearing this and said, "Then where is Madam Lu?"
"When I left, my wife left, and I don't know where she went."
"Maybe he went to watch the battle."
Lu Xiong chuckled: "She is a woman, she is not interested in this kind of thing."
Lou Jingzhi could tell that he didn't seem to be interested, but he didn't get angry: "The Tiandao Association won't end in a short time, there is plenty of time. Since this time is not a good opportunity, let's find another opportunity. Brother Lu, goodbye."
"That's it."
Lu Xiong watched him walk into the Cangwu Dojo, and suddenly realized that the eldest son of the Lou family seemed to be the one who withdrew from the competition a few days ago.
It was because of his withdrawal that Ji You won the last round without a fight...
Lu Xiong looked at the Cangwu Dojo and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he saw a familiar figure with a slightly surprised expression.
Immortal cultivators have very good hearing and eyesight, and if they observe carefully, they can see the scenery in the distance at a glance.
As the Lou family walked into the Cangwu Dojo, he was shocked to find that his wife had already taken her seat in the audience, her eyes fixed on the stage.
His conversation with Lou Jingzhi just now did have some evasiveness in it, but it was basically serious.
When he got up this morning, he found that his wife had gone out, and she was indeed not interested in fighting and killing.
Brother Lu originally thought that she had made an appointment with several other ladies from the Lingzhou Chamber of Commerce to hang out together, but he never expected that she would come here.
And seeing that the lady was so close to the round platform, he felt that the lady seemed to have come here early to take a seat...
In fact, Lu Xiong had just remembered that the son of the Lou family had withdrawn from the competition and he had been thinking about it. He also wanted to go to the Cangwu Dojo to watch the game, but he still didn't quite understand why his wife was here.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiong stepped into the Cangwu Dojo.
Near where Lu Xiong was standing just now, a group of daughters from aristocratic families were also walking along the road.
One of them was Qiu Hanyue, the daughter of the Qiu family, and the others were her sisters and new friends she had met in the garden in recent days.
"What does Hanyue think of the young man I met at the restaurant yesterday?"
"Very good, gentle and refined, a modest gentleman."
"I think he's good too. He's handsome and capable."
Qiu Hanyue argued with reason and worked hard to refuse the marriage proposal with Fengzhou Sixiu. She has already told the sisters around her, and they are all very happy for her.
But she has reached the marriageable age after all, so if she doesn't marry this one, she will marry that one.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the gathering of talented people at the Tiandao Conference, the Qiu family also found several men for her again.
Qiu Hanyue went to see a
That person is a young master from aristocratic family. He is indeed a nice person and very strong. He made it all the way to the second round.
Qiu Hanyue indeed thought it was good, and when she heard the sisters around her also give such comments, she thought that her vision was indeed good.
"Han Yue."
"Um?"
"It seems to be Huang Rou."
Qiu Hanyue raised her eyes and looked at the woman who was speaking.
This was one of her best sisters, named Sheng Xiyu. When she was worried about marrying to Fengzhou, it was she who gave her advice and suggested that she bypass the He and Qiu families and go directly to talk to Ji You.
At this moment, she looked in the direction Sheng Xiyu was pointing, and immediately saw her other good sister Huang Rou in the audience seats of Cangwu Dojo. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Huang Rou hasn't been with her sisters these days and has been acting alone more often.
She also declined the leisurely outing a few days ago and the banquet yesterday.
Qiu Hanyue originally thought that Huang Rou wanted to be alone with her childhood sweetheart, but later she found out that her childhood sweetheart had been seriously injured and fainted during the competition.
So when she saw Huang Rou sitting there, her eyes couldn't help but look a little confused.
What made her even more confused was that Huang Rou was still staring at the stage, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to seeing her opponent.
