Chapter 564 Apologize!
After sending out the token of Qiuting Court, Xie Wei personally led the way and arranged for Ling Qinglan and the others to check in. Then he hurriedly entrusted everything here to the innkeeper. After that, he returned to the study and wrote down a letter.
After a while, Xie Wei put down the writing brush, and was silent for a moment when looking at the white letter with black words. He seemed to make a choicefinally, and his face relaxed. Then he put the letter in the drawer.
“Lord Tianxing from the headquarters of Tianyake Attic does have a foreboding. The result of divination for the Tianjiao Battle is unclear. It seems to be unremarkable, but also seems to be turbulent and the variable. It seems that… the storm is coming.”
Xie Wei straightened up and turned his head to look at the sky, folding his arms behind his back. When he saw the misty peaks above the city, a deep feeling appeared in his eyes.
“Even Fate Ancestor cannot control everything. It happened a thousand years ago, and it will still happen after a thousand years.”
After Ling Qinglan and others stayed in the Qiuting Court, they let the young disciples return to their rooms. Then all five persons left showed their true colors.
In addition to Ling Qinglan, there were Yan Ziye, Dongfang Wuxue and Lv You. Besides, Li Hai, Deputy Lord of Yuxu Sect who led the team openly, was also here.
Hua Yan and Yi Xue stayed in the sect to control the overall situation. Moreover, if ghosts such as Wen Yuanqing appeared in Shengxian City, there might be a panic.
“The secret method that Master pa.s.sed on me is really amazing. Xie Wei, whose cultivation is no less than the nature’s test, still didn’t see the flaws.”
Lv You’s tone was a little excited. It was a rare opportunity for him to come to the supreme Shengxian City in the Qingshui Circle as a casual pract.i.tioner in the Ghost Circle!
If it were ten years ago, he would not even dare to think about it!
Ling Qinglan frowned when hearing the word “Master”. In his mind, there was only one person worthy of this “t.i.tle”.
However, Su Jiuzhou was kind to him after all. Even if Su Jiuzhou imitated that person everywhere, and he felt uncomfortable, he would not say anything obviously.
“Tianjiao Battle will start in two more days, so let’s have a good rest.”
Li Hai said. Then Yan Ziye nodded and smiled, “Alright, Ling Qinglan, you stay here. I will go out and see if there is any news about Master. By the way, our generation is close to two thousand years old, but this is the first time for us to come to Shengxian City!”
“Alright.”
Ling Qinglan responded and thought for a moment. Then he reminded, “Pay attention to the Void Sword Sect. After all, you…”
A shadow of intricacy flashed in Yan Ziye’s eyes, but in an instant, he recovered to be open-minded and then smiled lightly, “Don’t worry. I have the secret technique of Master. Even if I encounter the Void Sword Sect head-on, nothing will happen.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the court. Then he walked outward along the original road.
This scene happened to be caught by Su Li, who just came out of the Chunting Court.
“Ziye?”
Su Li was slightly astonished, and turned her head back to quietly sweep across the next court with her divine awareness. Then she immediately saw Ling Qinglan and others who didn’t leave yet.
“They are actually in the next door?”
This was a coincidence. Furthermore, even if Ling Qinglan warned Tianyake Attic according to her instructions, it could not have an extra court at this time. The only possibility was…
“Occupy the court of Fenguang Hall?”
Su Li quickly figured out the reason. She couldn’t help but show a weird smile, and then quietly followed Yan Ziye.
Yan Ziye was unaware of all this. He walked out of the inn and soon came to the bustling street. After looking around, he headed towards the busiest city center.
“There are only two days before the Tianjiao Battle. Master should have arrived long ago, but I don’t know which inn she stays in.”
Yan Ziye pondered, and his steps were not slow. After a while, he came to the huge square in the center of the city.
The square had a long history, and the ancient traces left by time could be seen everywhere. The black ground was built by some stones. Even if it had been exposed to winds and rains, it still hadn’t been damaged too much.
At this moment, the square was overcrowded. There were many outstanding pract.i.tioners. At least three of the ten were disciples of the n.o.ble holy sects, and the rest were at least the middle-grade sects.
Of course, the majority were casual pract.i.tioners and pract.i.tioners from low-grade sects, who were bystanders. After all, based on the level of pract.i.tioners in Qingshui Circle, talents would be a minority after all.
“A gathering of geniuses! What a great scene! I don’t know where my current cultivation can be ranked in the Tianjiao Battle.”
Yan Ziye sighed with emotion. As he approached the center of the square, he suddenly saw a huge stone tablet with black light standing there. There were many names on it.
“This is…”
Yan Ziye was startled and walked quickly under the tablet. Then he saw the flas.h.i.+ng names, among which the top ten names were particularly conspicuous.
Ling Li!
Qu Qingning!
Yin Xuetong!
Fang Mu!
Zhou Linfeng!
Luo Hong!
Ling Xian!
Zhao Qianyuan!
Xuan Yu’er!
Fang Lan!
Su Li was also in the crowd at this moment, looking at the stone tablet.
“Is this Tianxing Tablet of Tianyake Attic? I heard that before every Tianjiao Battle starts, the names of predicted top ten talents will be revealed. Why are there so many newcomers this time?”
“Tut-tut, during the widely-known disaster happened a thousand years ago, many talents ran away and disappeared, so it would be nice to have a few familiar ones.”
“That is true.”
Many pract.i.tioners in the crowd were whispering. Staring at the words “Zhou Linfeng”, which ranked fifth, Yan Ziye was in a trance.
“Junior Fellow Apprentice.”
He didn’t care about anyone else in the Void Sword Sect, only Zhou Linfeng…
“Hurry up!”
At this moment, there was a commotion among the pract.i.tioners, and someone shouted, “Go and watch what is going on. Zhou Linfeng of the Void Sword Sect and Luo Hong are on the ring!”
“What? Hurry up! Go! Or, we will miss it!”
Hearing this, many pract.i.tioners immediately rushed towards the ring. Yan Ziye’s expression also changed slightly, and then he flashed away.
“It seems that Ziye still has affection for the Void Sword Sect.”
Su Li’s eyes flickered slightly, and she followed them.
Not long after, the ring was surrounded by pract.i.tioners. Yan Ziye silently squeezed to the front, and he saw that on the one side of the ring, there was a familiar face that he had not seen for many years.
The junior fellow apprentice who only knew giggling back then was now cold and angry.
“Zhou Linfeng, you are just a coward. Are you actually ahead of me? Tianyake Attic is mostly blind, right?”
On the other side of the ring, Luo Hong, holding a spear, grinned and sneered, “Well, you don’t continue to be a coward, do you?”
Zhou Linfeng snorted coldly, “You can insult me, but you can’t insult my Senior Fellow Apprentice Yan!”
“Hahaha. Do you mean that traitor, Yan Ziye? You still call him Senior Fellow Apprentice?”
Luo Hong suddenly laughed, and said in a sarcastic tone, “If Ling Mo hadn’t escaped fast, I would have killed him! It is really unlucky for the Void Sword Sect to recruit a disloyal disciple like you.”
Speaking of this, Luo Hong shook his spear, “I will teach you a good lesson for your elders of the sect!”
Luo Hong shouted, and then rushed out with the spear. It was so fast that the pract.i.tioners in the audience exclaimed!
Born in the Xiuluo Holy Sect, Luo Hong was very good at close combat, so this small ring was exactly what he wanted.
Zhou Linfeng looked serious slightly. The spiritual power surged as his fingers turned, and then suddenly condensed into a black flying sword, which was surrounded by gray airflow. At this time, strands of extremely dangerous pneuma exuded.
“Void Sword Tactics!”
Someone in the crowd recognized it and was shocked, “The central methodof Void Sword Sect was originally only mastered by Yan Ziye, but now Zhou Linfeng really learned it! No wonder he stood out from the inherited disciples and became Yan Ziye’s successor.”
When Yan Ziye saw this, he looked pleased, and his mind flashed back to the situation that the junior fellow apprentice practiced the Void Sword Tactics under his guidance below the waterfall along the mountain peak.
“The silly boy who always said he couldn’t learn anything can undertake the task alone now.”
When endless emotion rose in Yan Ziye’s heart, the two people on the ring had collided!
Clang!
The spear and the sword collided, and sparks splattered everywhere. That was extremely dazzling!
A huge force poured into their bodies. Zhou Linfeng took a step back with his sword, but Luo Hong took two steps back.
Luo Hong stood firm, with a slightly bad look. Without saying a word, he turned the spear in his hand into a dragon, then the fierce offensive surged out of his hands like a huge wave!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhou Linfeng was grim-faced. He didn’t retreat but moved forward, and he insisted on resisting Luo Hong’s attack with his hands. There was a loud noise.
“Xiuluo Holy Sect has thirteen hurdles of Xuelang, and Luo Hong splits the fourth hurdle of Xuelang in an instant. It is really terrifying! If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to insist one round!”
“Zhou Linfeng is not simple. He actually withstood the attack.”
“Didn’t you see that he didn’t retreat even one step? I think Zhou Linfeng is better…”
The pract.i.tioners in the audience talked a lot. They didn’t expect to see such a wonderful duel before Tianjiao Battle, so they were all excited.
The battle between the two on the ring became white-hot.
“Buzz!”
The moment the two separated, Luo Hong suddenly restrained his murderous look, and then he disappeared quickly.
This scene immediately caused the audience to fall into dead silence, and then…there was an uproar!
“Oh, my goodness! Secret method of killing circle!
“Someone has learned the secret method of killing circle! Xiuluo Holy Secthas a good successor!”
“Unexpectedly, after the b.l.o.o.d.y Accident of Holy Spirit, not only did the holy sects fail to have a lack of youths, but the new generation of talents s.h.i.+ne brightly!”
Yan Ziye was nervous and worried.
Su Li saw this scene in the crowd and thought, “Isn’t this what Ling Mo used in the Blood World? Was he from Xiuluo Holy Sect?”
She did not deliberately investigate the origins of these people. When battling with the holy sects in the future, she would meet them, so it was unnecessary to waste her energy.
For Xiuluo Holy Sect, she did know some details. It was originally a force of killers.
Ling Mo, who was solitary and arrogant, had a potential to be a killer. No wonder he became the head of killers in the Reincarnation Mirror.
When Su Li was lost in thought, another situation occurred on the ring.
“Humph!”
Zhou Linfeng snorted coldly, and then grabbed the black flying sword in his hand, sweeping an arc-shaped shock wave.
“Void Sword Tactics, Void Sword Shock!”
Drone!!
A shocking force suddenly slammed in all directions. Then Zhou Linfeng saw that a figure stumbled behind on his left side and gradually became visible. But before the figure could stand firmly, the black flying sword pa.s.sed by and stopped on the figure’s neck.
“You lose.”
Zhou Linfeng spoke coldly. Luo Hong’s movements stagnated, and his face instantly became gloomy.
“You only got the first hurdle of killing circle. Who gave you the courage to slander my senior fellow apprentice?”
Then Zhou Linfeng put forth his strength. Blood appeared on Luo Hong’s neck instantly and dripped down along the flying sword.
“Apologize!”
At this moment, Zhou Linfeng shouted in a powerful and vicious tone. The anger that was suppressed in his eyes finally broke out.
