Chapter 288 Conspiracy and Calculation
Chapter 288 Conspiracy and Calculation
At this moment, Jiang Xinling had no interest in the fight between the two people on the stage. She was concentrating on fiddling with her long sword. When she felt confused, she would ask Nangong Wentian next to her.
Soon, the battle on the stage was decided.
After all, Ye Xiao is the male protagonist, and with the blessing of the power of rules, it is still a bit difficult for Qingsha Zuilan to use this to change his fate and defeat the other party.
But when Qingsha Zuilan was knocked off the stage, she also caused many wounds to Yexiao.
The wound was not serious, but it looked scary.
Therefore, some people who don't see the ins and outs clearly think that the two are about the same.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and didn't look at Qingsha Zuilan who was knocked to the ground. He adjusted himself to what he thought was the most handsome angle and pretended to glance at where Jiang Xinling was casually.
Just one glance and he was almost given a myocardial infarction.
Jiang Xinling was whispering in Nangong Wentian's ear at this moment. The two of them were talking and laughing, and were very happy.
However, from Ye Xiao's perspective, what he saw was Jiang Xinling kissing Nangong Wentian. The two of them were very sweet and happy.
"Shameless, it's totally immoral!"
Night Owl felt uncomfortable and blocked in his heart.
The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Angry.
"Wow, look, Ye Xiao is vomiting blood, and Qingsha Zui Lan is indeed extraordinary. The two of them are almost tied!"
"Humph, even if he is very powerful, I don't like him now."
"I thought Qingsha Zuilan had become ruthless after gaining power, but I didn't expect the truth to be like this!"
"He and the Ye family are quite shameless."
"You don't know that my hometown is in the Southern Region. When the Ye family was weak, they were almost divided up by various forces. In the end, it was the head of the Qingsha family who stepped forward to save them."
"But in the end, they actually treated the only bloodline of the Qingsha family like this. How shameless!"
Some female cultivators are still brooding over what happened before.
They feel they have been deceived.
When the truth of that year was revealed, Ye Xiao became the target of criticism from many female cultivators.
The male monk didn't have any idea about this.
After all, in the cultivation world, it is not uncommon to kill wives and children and destroy families in order to fight for resources.
"Night Owl, don't worry about such trivial matters."
"You are the genius of my Wanjian Sect. When you reach the pinnacle in the future, all the voices of doubt will disappear."
When Xie Tian saw Ye Xiao vomiting blood after the battle, he thought that he was upset by the discussions of the crowd, so he hurried to comfort him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded bitterly, sheathed his sword, and returned to the Wanjian Sect.
No matter how miserable or depressed Night Owl appears, anyone with a discerning eye can tell who wins and who loses.
For a time, there was a constant stream of flattery and congratulations to the Wanjian Sect from those who took advantage of the situation.
"Hmph! What a waste!"
"With all the resources I have invested in Piao Miao Pavilion, even a pig should be able to ascend to heaven."
"And what about you? You said something nice, trying to gain sympathy and seek revenge. Why don't you just beat the other party first?"
"Only the winner has the right to speak, don't you understand?"
"What a waste!"
In the direction of Piaomiao Pavilion, Liu Qianqian kept cursing in a low voice.
Qingsha Zuilan lowered her head and remained silent.
She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth to endure all of Liu Qianqian's anger.
Liu Qianqian’s scolding was good, but if you lose, you lose.
This isn’t just her battle with Night Owl.
It is also a contest between Piao Miao Pavilion and Wan Jian Sect.
She is holding back Piao Miao Pavilion...
But Liu Qianqian said something that made her feel innocent.
What does it mean that with so many resources invested, even a pig can ascend to heaven?
She has been a member of Piao Miao Pavilion for five years, and has accepted the inheritance of the Piao Miao Pavilion in addition to the martial arts.
Everything else was snatched by her herself amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
She is indeed talented, but Piaomiao Pavilion is not short of geniuses.
She has achieved what she has today by working through it step by step.
But Liu Qianqian was kind to her after all, and she always remembered this favor.
Therefore, even though Liu Qianqian would beat and scold him from time to time, he never felt resentful.
"Well, you deserve it! You dared to challenge Night Owl."
Jiang Xianya looked at this scene with great joy and was extremely happy.
She saw how powerful, confident, and handsome Ye Xiao was, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel happy.
Jiang Tiantian, who was resting, opened her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and her gaze was fixed on Qingsha Zuilan.
"This cannon fodder female second is quite interesting."
Jiang Tiantian murmured to herself and sighed.
"He's also a poor man."
After everyone praised Xie Tian and his group, Xie Tian began to speak a few official words, and then he announced the start of the new disciples' competition.
"Old Xie, the annual competition for new disciples is just a formality, with random draws, nothing new. How about we change the format this time?"
As soon as Xie Tian opened his mouth, the leader of the Dao Protection Alliance, Wu Tian, spoke immediately.
"Hmm? What do you mean, Brother Wu Tian?"
"Does Brother Wu Tian have any better ideas? Feel free to say it."
Xie Tian heard this and asked with a smile on his face.
Everyone was silent, watching these two idiots perform.
"Ahem, since Brother Xie asked, I will simply express my personal opinion."
Wu Tian coughed lightly and said unceremoniously.
"I think that instead of having new disciples go through the motions and spar at random, it would be better to let them each belong to their own sects and fight in groups, and then rank them based on the number of victories."
"This way, not only can we quickly decide the winner, but we can also cultivate the cohesion and unity of these new disciples. It's killing two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
Wu Tian said this, looking around the audience with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, what can I do? I'll just sit and watch."
"Aren't you deliberately trying to target our disciples of the Body Refining Sect?"
"Jealousy! This is naked jealousy"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Lie frowned and rolled his eyes in his heart.
He thought about it and was about to express his objection.
People from other sects took the lead and spoke up one after another.
Gu Rong, leader of the Palm Alliance: "I agree with the Palm Alliance."
Liu Yunyang of Piaomiao Pavilion frowned slightly, "All right."
Blood Demon Sect leader Xue Taibao: "No problem."
Li Qiuyang from the Spirit Beast Sect: "I have no objection."
Puppet Sect leader Mo Fei: "I agree too."
Nangong Lie frowned, something was wrong.
He was about to speak, but felt that he was too far away and his words wouldn't be strong enough.
He simply stood up.
"I reject!"
"The new disciples of each sect are the backbone of the future. It's fine to fight one-on-one, but if they fight in a group..."
"Most of these disciples have only been in the sect for about a month. Whether they are performing moves or secrets, they have no sense of measure when they attack."
"If we fight in a group, there may be too many casualties. I beg Sect Master Xie and Alliance Master Wu to reconsider this."
Nangong Lie pointed out the drawbacks briefly and concisely.
"Hahaha, Sect Master Nangong is probably worrying too much."
Xie Tian, the leader of the Wanjian Sect, spoke with a smile.
"They are all disciples who have just entered the sect and are still immature. How could they dare to hurt anyone's life? Sect Master Nangong is worrying too much."
Xie Tian spoke in a leisurely tone, and glanced at the other sects with a faint smile.
"Master Nangong, the fledgling will eventually grow up. You have to learn to let go."
Wu Tian, the leader of the Dao Protection Alliance, spoke with a slightly displeased look on his face.
"Yes, yes, Sect Master Nangong, don't worry. They are all children. What can happen?"
The leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Xue Taibao, had a cunning smile on his face.
“Don’t worry, Sect Master Nangong. Even if the younger generation does not distinguish between the severity of the attack, we have so many alliance leaders and elders here. Once they find something wrong, they will definitely stop it immediately.”
"What Nangong Wentian is worried about will never happen."
Li Qiuyang, leader of the Spirit Beast Sect, said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, what Sect Leader Li said is absolutely right."
"That makes a lot of sense."
"As expected of Alliance Leader Li."
Everyone rushed to praise.
"Hehe, thank you for your praise." Li Qiuyang smiled, but looked at Xie Tian with an extremely flattering expression.
What else doesn't Nangong Lie understand now?
His Body Refining Sect accepted a group of disciples with top-grade spiritual roots, which was a major event that shocked the cultivation world.
The results of it?
The news only spread in a small area under the jurisdiction of his Body Refining Sect.
What does this mean?
This shows that these people not only do not want to make it public, Nangong Lie even suspects that they are deliberately concealing the news.
Why would they deliberately conceal the news?
The purpose is self-evident.
Some people don't want this group of geniuses to grow up.
It is rare to find a disciple with top-grade spiritual roots in a thousand years.
If it gets out, it will cause a sensation and spark heated discussions wherever it goes.
Even if a genius is accidentally killed by a certain force, it will have a significant impact on that force and cause criticism.
A thousand years ago, there was a Holy Body Sect, which plotted against a high-grade golden spiritual root disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
At that time, the Wanjian Sect was just a small, unknown force.
A large sect was hunting down a talented disciple from a small sect. Even though the small sect led people to fight desperately, they still failed to save the genius in the end.
However, the reputation of the Wanjian Sect for not fearing power and cherishing its disciples spread, and it attracted many outstanding disciples within a hundred years, causing the Wanjian Sect to rise rapidly and become a leading force.
However, the power of the arrogant Holy Body Sect declined again and again because it failed to accept outstanding disciples for a long time. It was then swallowed up and devoured by the rising Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and all its glory became a thing of the past.
With such precedent as a lesson learned, later forces no longer dared to take action against geniuses easily.
Even if he takes action, it will be silent.
The move by the Wanjian Sect and the Dao Protector League was intended to create an accident and let the top-grade spiritual roots of the Body Refining Sect die silently.
After all, from the outside world's perspective, it was just the death of a group of insignificant disciples.
No one knows the talents of these disciples.
Besides, dead geniuses are worthless.
Nangong Lie instantly understood the other party's thoughts.
It's not just the Wanjian Sect and the Dao Protector League.
I'm afraid all the sects here have the same idea.
"Everyone, we, the Body Refining Sect, give up this new disciple competition."
Nangong Lie spoke.
"Master Nangong, what do you mean?"
"Even if you don't believe us, don't you believe in the strength of Sect Leader Xie and Alliance Leader Wu?"
"With their unique vision, they can save anyone, not to mention the competition between new disciples, even in the competition between core disciples."
Li Qiuyang, leader of the Spirit Beast Sect, responded with a smile, his words full of praise for Xie and Wu.
"Yes, Sect Master Nangong, don't you trust the two of us? That's why you are so eager to give up the competition?"
Xie Tian glanced at Nangong Lie with an unfriendly look.
"No, that's not what I meant." Nangong Lie frowned, "I wanted to say..."
"In that case, no need to say more! Just follow what Brother Wu said before, Sect Master Nangong, if I were you, instead of wasting time, I would rather do some ideological work for the new disciples as soon as possible, don't you think?"
Wu Tian smiled and nodded towards Nangong Lie.
"Okay, since everyone agrees."
"Next, give each sect a quarter of an hour to prepare."
"After a quarter of an hour, all the new disciples from all sects will come on stage together."
"Remember, it's all!"
"If anyone cheats, they will be deemed to have withdrawn from the group immediately, and will be forever deprived of the right to enter the God's Ruins and explore all the secret realms."
Thank God for the final word.
Nangong Lie's expression darkened, and finally he shook hands and sighed deeply.
"Let's go back to the sect. It's better not to go to this Divine Ruins."
Nangong Lie made his choice.
Isn't it just that you can never enter the God's Ruins and the secret realms of various places? It doesn't matter.
With the existing resources of their Body Refining Sect, they can also support these new disciples in their cultivation and development.
Once these disciples with top-grade spiritual roots grow up, why would their Body Refining Sect need to rely on them?
Obviously, Nangong Lie had made up his mind.
However, just when Nangong Lie was about to give up, Jiang Tiantian stepped forward with her short legs and gently took Nangong Lie's big hand with her little hand.
"Don't worry, Uncle Sect Leader. With Tiantian here, we will definitely win."
"Tiantian will also help take care of all the brothers and sisters, don't worry, Uncle Sect Master."
Jiang Tiantian raised her head and gave Nangong Lie a bright smile.
She felt it.
There is a familiar aura in the ruins of the gods.
She wanted to find out.
"you……"
Nangong Lie was shocked by Jiang Tiantian's words. He wanted to refuse, but when he turned around, he saw Jiang Xinlan, Jiang Xinling and others who were eager to try.
Maybe, it’s hard to say.
Not to mention others, Jiang Tiantian alone made him see countless miracles.
Maybe, this time, it will work!
After all, from the time he met Jiang Tiantian until now, everything this kid said, although incredible, was realized in the end.
Thinking of this, Nangong Lie suddenly nodded for some unknown reason.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
Soon, new disciples from various sects and schools came onto the stage one after another.
As if they had made an agreement, all the new disciples from various sects gathered together.
Generally, people with good talents and strong bodies are on the periphery, while those who really can't do anything hide in the inner circle.
"start!"
Following Xie Tian's order, people from various sects rushed into the crowd with weapons in hand.
Protecting one's own people and eliminating people from other sects is the consensus of almost every sect.
"Tiantian, hide behind me later. I will protect you!"
Fat Xu put on a pair of boxing gloves, stood in front of Jiang Tiantian and spoke with a smile.
The senior brothers in the sect said that she must show more so that she could be noticed.
Hehe, does this count as him being a hero saving the beauty?
Xu Xiaopang was secretly delighted.
"Xu Xiaopang, you're blocking the road."
Jiang Tiantian walked around Xu Xiaopang and stood in front of him instead. She turned around and glanced back leisurely.
"There will be a lot of people around here, so be careful. But don't worry, I'm here, you'll be fine."
"Just be careful and don't stumble when you run."
Jiang Tiantian was admonishing like a little adult...
