Chapter 180
RUO Xiufeng.
In a beautiful cave.
In front of the courtyard, there was a winding stream, and outside the railing, there were exotic flowers and plants.
The beautiful Merman’s head was full of pearls and Jade, and she was wearing a colorful dress. She held a Bell and a colorful ribbon as she stepped down the spiral steps.
Behind the crystal curtain, gongzhi Yan was wearing a light robe and sitting on the table with a calm expression.
Gu Hong, who was sitting opposite him, was playing with a small cup in his hand. His face was gloomy.
“Junior Brother gongzhi, I’ve come to you this time to ask for your help in dealing with a person.” Gu Hong said as he picked up the teacup in front of him and finished it in one gulp.
“Are they the people who are participating in the outer sect competition this time?” Gongzhi Yan asked. He wasn’t surprised. In the past, there had been similar situations. If the inner sect disciples wanted to deal with someone but couldn’t do it themselves, or if they didn’t want to pay a high fine, they would take the opportunity of the outer sect competition to ask him, the strongest disciple in a region, to help.
“Not bad! You’ve heard of the name PEI Ling in the past few days, right?” Gu Hong said coldly, ” this time, he made the decision to enter the second stage on his own and caused me to lose a large sum of spirit ... &Quot;
Since PEI Ling dared to block his path to wealth, then he would cut off the other party’s Dao path!
However, before Gu Hong could finish, gongzhi Yan interrupted him, ” “I’m not interested in the grudges between the two of you. I just want to know how many spirit stones you’re willing to spend, and who’s behind him? Will dealing with him bring me more losses than what you’ve offered?”
Gongzhi Yan did not ask about PEI Ling’s strength. In his opinion, he was the strongest person selected by the southern mountain range.
As long as he was in the southern mountain range, no disciple would be his match!
“100000 spiritual stones. His backer is Zheng Jingshan.” Gu Yu nodded and said.
For safety’s sake, he had specially sent someone to rush back to the inner sect to find Miao Chengyang, the branch master of the Zhaochuan branch, to inquire about PEI Ling’s background.
After all, Miao Chengyang had been Zheng Jingshan’s enemy for many years. He understood Zheng Jingshan’s situation best.
PEI Ling had a close relationship with Zheng Jingshan, so he would definitely not escape Miao Chengyang’s eyes and ears.
Miao Chengyang told his men without hesitation that PEI Ling was Zheng Jingshan’s subordinate. However, just like Zheng Jingshan, he was used to using Zheng Jingshan’s distant relationship with li zhenchuan to scam others. He had even managed to intimidate Shijing branch master Jin Sutai. Even though he knew that he had taken advantage of his sister’s reputation, he was still suspicious and did not dare to make a move.
After hearing this result, Gu Hong was completely relieved.
Other than taking revenge, he also wanted to make a fortune and win back all the spirit stones he had lost.
These two days, PEI Ling’s strength had already spread throughout the entire southern region. Now, at the various betting stations in the southern region, the odds of PEI Ling passing the selection had already reached an extremely exaggerated level. If PEI Ling was eliminated at this time, and he bet that PEI Ling would not pass the selection ... The hundred thousand spirit stones he had spent now could be earned at least ten times more.
Gongzhi Yan nodded slightly. One hundred thousand spirit stones was neither a lot nor a small amount. Although he had often heard of PEI Ling these few days, he did not pay much attention to him. After all, when The Awl was in the bag, one could see the truth. If he was really a powerful expert, how could he have remained unknown until now?
As for Zheng Jingshan, he was the weakest branch master of the 13 branches. The ordinary outer disciples might be afraid of him, but not him.
Thinking of this, gongzhi Yan said,”alright!” What do you want me to do?”
&Quot; tomorrow is the third day of the ring defense. I want you to challenge him at the last moment. I don’t want to see him advance to the third stage! &Quot; Gu Hong said.
Although PEI Ling seemed to be very strong, gongzhi Yan was the eldest senior brother of RUO Xiufeng. After the fall of Luo hou and Lu Xuan’s betrayal, he was the most valued young disciple in the entire southern mountain range.
Even the governor of the southern region took the time to give him some advice.
It was said that PEI Ling had entered the sect for less than a year. Before this, he was only a branch disciple of a small border town and didn’t even have a foundation building cultivator in the clan. No matter how powerful he was, could he be more powerful than gongzhi Yan?
Thus, he took out 100000 spirit stones to buy gongzhi Yan to make up for his loss.
Gongzhi Yan frowned. &Quot; I’m now the master of the first challenge ring. If I want to go to the other challenge rings, I must first deliberately lose to someone else ... Moreover, it’s difficult to grasp the timing of this matter. Once he’s defeated by me and goes to challenge the other challenge rings, I can’t stop him either. &Quot;
&Quot; I’ve already asked the elders for the rules. You can admit defeat on the stage and there will be no punishment after you leave the stage. As for the timing ... I’ll give you another 50000 spirit stones! &Quot;
“Good! Deal!”
???
On the third day.
PEI Ling went up to the ring as usual. Just like the day before, no one dared to challenge him.
When there was only a joss stick’s worth of time left before the end of the stage, PEI Ling thought that the day would pass by peacefully. Suddenly, a figure appeared on his stage.
As he had not seen his opponent for a long time, PEI Ling’s reaction was slow by half a beat and he did not manage to make a move in time. However, the person who came was very straightforward and directly slapped down without even greeting him!
Without thinking, PEI Ling slashed out with his blade.
A blood hou appeared in front of the person, trying to block the saber Qi, but in the next moment ...
Puchi!
The blood banner was evenly split in half, and the remaining force of the saber Qi hit the person, leaving a hideous bloody wound on his chest.
Not giving his opponent a chance to catch his breath, PEI Ling immediately followed up with a second slash.
The person disappeared in an instant.
PEI Ling put away the life-loathing blade and nodded slightly. This person was more powerful than the previous opponents and could take two moves from him, but it was only to this extent.
However, this was normal. After all, the truly powerful opponents were all ring masters now. How strong could the disciples who were still attacking the ring be?
???
Gongzhi Yan returned to the audience with a blank look. The scene just now was like a dream!
Two blades!
Although he had underestimated his opponent and had not used his full strength in the beginning, his opponent had actually sent him down with only two slashes?
How could this be possible?
“I’ve been tricked by Gu Hong!” Gongzhi Yan was secretly angry. He had lost too quickly. Now, he still had time to challenge the other challenge rings, but he could not do that!
He was the eldest senior brother of ruoxiu peak, the strongest disciple in the entire southern region, and had even received guidance from the region master. Now, he had lost to an unknown brat, and he had even come from the weakest scholartree Yin peak in the southern region. How could he be willing?
Most importantly, gongzhi Yan knew very well that although the selected disciples could not see it, the many elders and inner sect senior brothers and senior sisters outside could see it clearly.
If he could not immediately regain his face, it would be equivalent to giving himself up to PEI Ling as a stepping stone, helping the other party to become famous in one battle! He would become a laughingstock, and he would lose his value in the eyes of the elders, the governor, and the inner sect disciples.
At that time, he, as the eldest senior brother, would be worthless.
The strong preyed on the weak in the sage sect. In order to protect his position and future, he had to defeat PEI Ling even once!
Thus, after taking a deep breath, gongzhi Yan chose the fifth challenge ring again.
