BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108 - The Ten Great Sects
In the end, the battle of these two female cultivators ended for nearly an hour, and the challenger\'s side won it.
Their fight was not fun but quite funny nonetheless.
The challenger wins by pulling the hair of the contender.
The audience did not quite understand how the challenger could prevent his opponent from mobilizing Qi by simply pulling her opponent\'s hair.
However, everyone could feel that the challenger would tighten her grip every time the contender mobilized her Qi. As a result, the contender always got distracted and failed every time she wanted to fight back.
The technique that the challenger displayed was bizarre, and truthfully it was a bit scary. In the end, the audience called this technique the "Hair Pulling Technique."
Some people may start to imitate this technique after returning from here.
"Yeah~, it\'s an exhilarating fight!" Gao Peng happily clapped his hands.
"Which part do you see exhilarating? It\'s an embarrassing fight to me." Murong Qian Jun sighed helplessly.
"Don\'t say that, Brother Murong. Look, people seem to be enjoying it." Gao Peng smiled as his eyes shifted to other guests on this floor.
Murong Qian Jun also noticed that the people seemed to be enjoying the show just now.
The cultivator never ran out of spectacle of fighting, and sometimes a mediocre battle could no longer excite them. Maybe this kind of fight can add the color of pleasure to their days.
He sighed, and then he turned his gaze toward Qin Yi.
Qin Yi pinched a piece of the Millennium Ice Crystal between his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as Qin Yi swallowed it, his body immediately quivered slightly.
"Cool!"
The texture of Millennium Ice Crystal wasn\'t as hard as a ball of ice, but it was like half-frozen jelly. It was sweet, and some mysterious taste added to its flavor. It was a taste he had never experienced before.
This delicacy really fits his tongue.
Should I ask Brother Murong to pack up some after this?
Qin Yi picked up another Millennium Ice Crystal with his chopsticks. He said to Murong Qian Jun, "I heard that Millennium Ice Crystals are not easy to obtain. Brother Murong, your family restaurant is amazing. Not only did you acquire them, you even sold them."
"If we were to look for it ourselves, of course, it would be difficult. However, we only bought it from the Ice Palace." Explained Murong Qian Jun with a smile.
"Ice Palace?" Qin Yi raised his eyebrow and confirmed, "One of The Ten Great Sects located in the Extreme North Land?"
There were around a hundred sects conferred as Great Sects in this region. Among them, only the top ten were considered absolute rulers of the Azure Dragon Region.
These Ten Great Sects are the Profound Martial Sect in the central area of the Azure Dragon Region. This sect was the largest and most powerful sect in the region, and currently, they were ranked first in The Ten Great Sects.
Underworld Palace occupies the second position. This sect is the ruler of Underworld City, an underground city that deals with many inexplicable things.
Followed by the Myriad Beast Sect in the next position, located in Myriad Beast Mountain. This sect has guarded this perilous mountain for thousands of years from beast tides that could break out at any moment.
In fourth place was the Limitless Sword Sect, a sect specializing in the sword way and located in the Divine Sword Mountain.
Next up was Cloud Crane Mountain, located on a cloud-shrouded mountain where no one could see what it looked like.
Then, there was the Violet Thunder Sect located on the border of the Land of Thunder, a territory that was relentlessly struck by lightning.
Meanwhile, Ice Palace was in sixth place. This sect consists mainly of women, ruling over the Extreme North Land.
The Extreme North Land was a frigid place that ordinary cultivators had a hard time staying in for too long, except the disciples from the Ice Palace. Maybe because of this, they can monopolize all the natural products that grow there. One such example is the Millennium Ice Crystal.
The remaining four great sects are Demonic Sound Sect, Seven Stars Tower, Fiend Executioner Temple, and Clear Heart Lake.
The Sleeping Dragon Sect also used to be part of The Ten Great Sects, but their positions fell and were eventually replaced by other sects due to their continuous decline. Currently, the Sleeping Dragon Sect is ranked 25th.
"Of course. Do any other sects dare to use that name?" Murong Qian Jun shrug off jokingly.
"Let me tell you. Millennium Ice Crystals aren\'t just a delicacy Ice Palace produced. Unfortunately, they only intend to share Millennium Ice Crystals with us. Therefore, if you want to taste their other delicacies, you need to go to the Extreme North Land personally."
Qin Yi smiled wryly, "Well, it\'s still too early for me to go there..."
"Don\'t worry, Brother Qin. I have a friend whose friend is a friend of the Ice Palace\'s disciple. Maybe I can ask him for some Ice Palace specialty products. Of course, I will share with you." Gao Peng raised his thumb reassuringly.
Murong Qian Jun, "..."
Qin Yi, "..."
The two of them almost couldn\'t keep up with Gao Peng\'s words.
Besides, how many friends is he actually have?
While the two of them speechlessly looked at Gao Peng, Gao Peng, on the other hand, suddenly remembered something. He turned to Qin Yi and asked, "Right, Brother Qin, I heard from Sister Qiao that you are going out of the sect for a while?"
Qin Yi nodded and replied without hiding anything, "I\'m now allowed to leave the sect. Therefore, I intend to return to my hometown. After all, I haven\'t been home for almost three years. I\'m afraid that my beloved younger brother will forget that he has an older brother if I delay my return any longer."
"I see. How long are you going to stay there?" Gao Peng asked curiously.
"I\'m not sure. Maybe half a year or so."
"That long?" Gao Peng was shocked.
"What about your mission rations? Your resource rations will be cut a lot if you miss a lot of missions."
"Don\'t worry about it. I\'ve already taken on a long-term mission from the Mission Hall."
"Oh, what kind of a mission?"
"Mission to retrieve Monkey Wine from Monkey Mountain."
As soon as Gao Peng and Murong Qian Jun heard the words "Monkey Mountain," their bodies and faces stiffened instantly.
?
Qin Yi looked strangely at the two of them and couldn\'t help but ask, "What\'s wrong with you all?"
Gao Peng and Murong Qian Jun hurriedly shook their heads awkwardly and said simultaneously, "Nothing."
Gao Peng, "Just don\'t forget to bring your storage bag there, Brother Qin."
Qin Yi could only look at Gao Peng suspiciously.
***
Ten dishes weren\'t much for the three of them. In fact, they could wipe it out in a very short time.
An hour after the Ring Battle was over, another challenger came to challenge the contender from the immortal Phoenix House.
"Another challenger appears!"
"Who is the person this time?"
"I hope it won\'t be like last time. Although it\'s funny, it\'s not exciting!"
In an instant, the visitors became a bit heated.
This time, the challengers and competitors were both male cultivators, and their cultivation bases were also one stage different.
The challenger is a teenager dressed in black and has a frosty expression on his face, and his cultivation base is at the Seventh Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. Meanwhile, the other was a robust middle-aged man whose cultivation base was the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
The contender stood with a mocking smile on his face. He seemed to be looking down on his opponent.
"It\'s him!"
Suddenly Murong Qian Jun exclaimed.
Gao Peng and Qin Yi tilted their heads in confusion toward Murong Qian Jun.
"That teenager is Yin Cheng. He is one of only two survivors of Shadow House who managed to escape to this city. He has come here many times to challenge the Ring Battle, and he has always won." Murong Qin Jun clarified his previous utterance.
"Shadow House?"
Gao Peng and Qin Yi looked at each other. Apparently, neither of them had ever heard of it.
"It\'s normal you haven\'t heard of it. Most people probably haven\'t heard of this name either." Murong Qian Jun smiled and explained.
"Shadow House is one of the factions in Underworld City, and this faction is engaged in the assassination business. However, not a long ago, I heard that Shadow House has friction with other underworld factions. Unfortunately, they lost and were almost wholly annihilated. But at a critical moment, Ancient Dragon City\'s City Lord suddenly came to his aid before the last two survivors were about to be killed— and those two survivors were Yin Cheng and his older sister."
"Underworld City!"
Qin Yi and Gao Peng gasped simultaneously. No wonder why the two of them had never heard of Shadow House. It turned out that this faction resided in Underworld City.
The Underworld City was a mysterious city, and news of what happened there was rarely leaked to the outside world.
Low-level cultivators like Qin Yi and Gao Peng have no way to know precise details about Underworld City.. At most, they could only know that the Underworld City was ruled by the Underworld Palace, the most prominent sect in this region after Profound Martial Sect.
