After the match between the eldest grandson Zijun and Gongsun Di, the next few rounds of competition also went very quickly. The only one that dragged on for a long time was between Yi Xichen and Wu Mo. Just like the previous match, although everyone was looking forward to seeing Yi Xichen perform exceptionally again, Yi Xichen played very conservatively and was almost chased by Wu Mo.
Just when everyone thought Yi Xichen was doomed to fail and Wu Mo began to act arrogantly, he suddenly realized that he was being entangled!
It turned out that Yi Xichen was constantly making plans while avoiding Wu Mo's sharp edge. He left extremely fine crystal spider silk wherever he went, and only suddenly attacked when Wu Mo was completely drawn into the game. Wu Mo was trapped and unable to attack for a while. Yi Xichen took this opportunity to knock Wu Mo out of the game with a sword.
Although Yi Xichen won the competition, he received many cold stares. He still didn't care. He knew in his heart that it was not his problem, but the strange atmosphere formed in Tianjian Sect under the leadership of Yuying Zhenren and Qiu Jian. And Tianjian Sect, for these young disciples, is just a temporary shelter. In the future, the world of cultivation will be their place to show their talents.
After all the competitions were over, the disciples dispersed and twenty disciples continued to go to Shennong Temple to draw lots to decide their opponents for the next round of competition.
The next matches were decided based on the disciples' strength and previous win rates. The opponents they were matched with were often people of equal strength. The atmosphere in the hall was actually much more relaxed than the previous two days because the disciples had already guessed who their future opponents would be.
Xiao Kui was extremely troubled. He had already won two rounds in a row, and his opponent for the next round would only be chosen from four people.
He secretly glanced at his eldest grandson Jun.
Will his opponent be Chang Sun Zi Jun? If so, he will definitely lose. If not... If not, if he can't win the next game, he will miss the chance to fight Chang Sun Zi Jun. This may be a good thing for him, but...
As he struggled internally, he sensed a wave of hostility. Without a doubt, this hostility still came from Yi Xichen.
Xiao Kui looked at Yi Xichen in confusion. So, why was Yi Xichen so hostile to him?
After the wooden iris flew up, the wooden iris of the eldest grandson Zijun fell into Lu Ziyao's hands first.
When Lu Ziyao saw the result, he smiled at his eldest grandson Zijun in a friendly manner. To him, winning or losing was not that important, the competition itself was the most important.
The wooden finless eagle in Yi Xichen's hand flew around in the hall and fell into Xiao Kui's hands.
After Xiao Kui caught the wooden eagle, he was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic: It’s not Lu Ziyao nor his eldest grandson Zijun, he can still win another round!
After the drawing of lots was over, the disciples left the hall and looked at their tomorrow's opponents outside the hall door. Some were happy and some were worried.
Inside the Fengqi Pavilion.
Jade Immortal was meditating in the hall. He never watched the disciples' competitions. To him, the competitions of the little disciples were like child's play. He didn't care. He just wanted to know the final result.
Several woodpeckers flew in from the window and landed at his feet.
Master Yuying opened his eyes and asked, "Is the drawing of lots over?" He picked up a wooden eagle and was lost in thought for a while. His eyebrows gradually knitted together and he murmured, "Yi Xichen... I didn't expect it to be him..."
Outside Shennong Temple.
Xiao Kui swaggered up to Yi Xichen and said in a haughty tone, "Junior Brother Yi, I'm afraid your luck has come to an end." In his opinion, Yi Xichen's victory in the competition was all due to luck.
"Oh?" Yi Xichen smiled disapprovingly.
Xiao Kui was indeed enraged, and was about to explode, but he suddenly calmed down, narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Yi Xichen, do you think you can be arrogant just because you defeated Junior Brother Wang? Don't think I don't know, the more arrogant you are, the more guilty you feel!"
Yi Xichen turned around and looked at his eldest grandson, Zijun: "Am I arrogant?"
The eldest grandson Jun shook his head: "He is more arrogant."
Xiao Kui: “…”
Xiao Kui said angrily: "Do you really think you can get away with it by using such an unorthodox technique as stealing the mind?!"
On that day, Yi Xichen was able to defeat Wang Qingqiao with a sword. Everyone felt that this was strange, but most people could not see the clues and did not investigate further. However, the higher the cultivation level, the more strange it was. With Xiao Kui's cultivation level, he only felt that this matter was strange, but he naturally did not know what was going on. So he went to ask around, asked Lu Ziyao and Qiu Jian, and finally found out the truth - stealing her will.
Therefore, in the interval after the competition, Xiao Kui read many books on the method of seizing the mind. He had a general understanding of what seizing the mind was, although he still didn't understand why Yi Xichen, a fake spiritual root, could be seduced by others. However, after watching Yi Xichen's competitions in the past two days, he knew that the battle with Wang Qingqiao was just a flash in the pan, and he couldn't bear to be seduced again.
Yi Xichen was not too surprised to be seen through by Xiao Kui. For these sword cultivators of Tianjian Sect, the most important thing is to improve their own cultivation. As for what means to use to improve, the sect rules do not have too many restrictions on this. It is not considered a violation of the sect rules if a disciple voluntarily accepts the seduction of others, or even voluntarily explodes in an attack. Of course, the backlash suffered by the disciple will be borne by himself. Moreover, seduction can only be useful for people like Yi Xichen who cannot exert their greatest potential. Others will only suffer backlash. He said frankly: "Since I can be seduced once, I can also be seduced a second time. If Senior Brother Xiao likes, he can also be seduced."
Xiao Kui was anxious: "You are lying! You can't bear the temptation twice in such a short time! Unless you don't want to live!"
Xiao Kui was not concerned about Yi Xichen's health, but was worried about tomorrow's game. He thought Yi Xichen would never be defeated again, but he didn't expect Yi Xichen to be so determined. Could it be that he could be defeated again?! It would be hard to say who would win tomorrow!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, frowned slightly. He would not refute Yi Xichen in front of Xiao Kui, so he used telepathic communication to tell Yi Xichen, "No."
"Don't worry." Yi Xichen also responded to him with telepathy, "I just want to scare him."
For sword cultivators, in addition to cultivation, state of mind is also very important. What sword cultivators pursue is the unity of man and sword, and the sword is moved by the heart. Once the state of mind is disturbed, it is difficult to control one's own sword. Today, Gongsun Di wanted to disturb the state of mind of the eldest grandson Zijun, but unfortunately he did not succeed. And now, Yi Xichen is also scaring Xiao Kui, and the effect is... very successful.
As expected, Xiao Kui's face turned red and black, and he looked at Yi Xichen with suspicion.
At this moment, the token on Yi Xichen's waist vibrated.
Every disciple of Tianjian Sect has a token, which is convenient for the elders to summon disciples at any time. Since Tianjian Sect has four elders, each elder has a different token color when sending a message, and generally the elders will only summon their own disciples, so Yi Xichen's first reaction is that Yao Budu has something to ask him. However, when he looked down, he saw that the token had turned red, and he was stunned.
Not only Yi Xichen, but also his eldest grandson Zijun and Xiao Kui were stunned. They looked at their own tokens at the same time, but their tokens had not changed at all.
"The master is looking for you?!" Xiao Kui looked incredulous.
——Red is the most important color in the Tianjian Sect's orders. It belongs to the Sect's leader, Jade Ying Zhenren. A leader like Jade Ying Zhenren, who is devoted to cultivation and never accepts disciples, does not care about his disciples, so he has never summoned any of them. The only things that can make the Sect Leader use orders are usually serious matters, such as an invasion by foreign enemies, and the Sect Leader needs to quickly gather disciples to resist. Therefore, Xiao Kui and his eldest grandson, Zijun, would immediately check whether they were summoned.
Xiao Kui looked at Yi Xichen warily: "Why did the master look for you?"
Yi Xichen said, "After I defeated Senior Brother Wang the day before yesterday, the headmaster summoned me over and wanted to take me in as an inner disciple. I'm afraid it's still because of this matter."
"What?!" Xiao Kui almost fell to the ground, "Master, do you want to be my disciple?!"
Xiao Kui felt like he was going crazy! He admitted that Yi Xichen had potential, but how deep this potential was, he couldn't tell with his cultivation. However, Master Yuying never accepted disciples, but Yi Xichen actually made him want to accept a disciple, which was against the will of heaven! Could it be that Yi Xichen was already so strong? !
Xiao Kui's breathing was completely disordered, and the sword in his scabbard began to tremble.
Yi Xichen smiled and said, "I don't want to keep the Sect Master waiting for too long. I'll be leaving now. Brother Xiao, see you at the competition tomorrow."
After admiring Xiao Kui's dumbfounded expression, Yi Xichen smiled slightly and headed towards Fengqi Palace with his sword. As soon as he left, he received a telepathic message from his eldest grandson, Zijun.
"You lied to him?"
"Of course." Yi Xichen replied, "I'll scare him."
The eldest grandson, Zijun, looked at Xiao Kui's sword, which was shaking like a sieve. He was a little worried about tomorrow's game, but now it seems that he was worrying too much. He calmly reported: "You scared him to death."
"Ha ha!"
Yi Xichen was overjoyed, but as he looked at the Fengqi Palace that had appeared before him, he began to wonder: Why did Jade Ying Zhenren, who never cared about the affairs of his disciples, come to see him?
