Chapter 207: Those People
The aftermath of the Nine Palaces incident is slowly dissipating, and in the cultivation realm, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.
Except for those who have lost relatives and friends, they can only bury their nostalgia in their hearts, and they have to go on.
The duel between Wu Xixing and Li Ji spread out through some channel, and became an expectation in the boring practice days of the sword cultivators; Originally, this expectation was still restrained and restrained, but then a piece of news came out that completely broke this calm.
In a private contest, Wu Xixing challenged Han Xing, and in the end, he persevered to the end with a very narrow advantage, and this news detonated Wen Guangfeng.
Who is Chillstar? Heartbeat Monk, one of the strongest below Jindan, has been in the field for decades, the youngest of the three masters of Xuanyuan's inner sword, and has unlimited potential; Such a pillar of the inner sword was defeated by Wu Xixing, who had only been in the field for more than ten years?
This simply subverted people's perception of cultivation, and made people remember the cruel and tragic killing in the Nine Palace Realm, and sure enough, the sword cultivation that grew up in the killing was the most terrifying.
At first, many people didn't believe this rumor, but when they confirmed the accuracy of this news from their friends, from the division commander, and from the top of the sect, all of a sudden, the sword cultivators were full of great anticipation and enthusiasm for the duel between Xiao Bishi Wu Xixing and Li Ji.
The two people who also came out of the Nine Palaces, who is the real king? The Jackdaw Dao people killed one more person than the Han Peng Dao people, does it mean that Li Ji is better than Wu Xixing? Is the grassroots rising scattered cultivation jackdaw powerful, or is the Han Peng, who was born in a big clan and rich in resources, powerful? Such a question stirred the hearts of all Wen Guangfeng's sword cultivators.
It's not that the monk doesn't gossip, but he lacks a suitable reason.
Each sword cultivator has set a position for himself, chosen a side, and placed a bet, and they are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Xiaobi's day.
Li Ji immediately felt this change, and he didn't realize it when he stayed in the Cave Mansion or the Nine Palace Realm, but when he occasionally went to Wen Guangfeng to ask questions about Duhai, he found that there were always people pointing at him and whispering.
"Am I sure, you ask? Senior brother, how do I know about such a thing? Li Ji looked at the excited Han Duck beside him and said helplessly.
Li Ji also just heard that Wu Xixing defeated Han Xing, which is not unexpected, with the same arrogant and disregard for the temperament of others, it is normal for these two people to look down on each other and fight each other, the only surprise he is that these two people can endure until now to fight.
"Senior brother, you must win, senior brother's idea is all on your head, if you miss, senior brother, I have worked in vain for the past 20 years!" Han Duck earnestly instructed.
"You gambled on the bank?" Li Ji was surprised, it is foreseeable that a gamble with the participation of most of the inner sword cultivators is so big, this cold duck has such a strong capital?
"No, I can't afford to sit down with this Senior Brother Zhuang, and no one is willing to sit down; It's a bet between our grassroots and their family backgrounds. “
"Oh, I'm a little curious, how many handicaps are there?"
"Well, this, it's about one to three, less than four now, no way, we are really poor from the grassroots, and we can't compare with those rich children who don't take spirit stones seriously." Han Duck said embarrassedly.
One to three, four, in the absence of a village, this is a very normal handicap, which does not mean that people who are optimistic about Wu Xixing are optimistic about their own three or four times, but it is just a gap in financial resources. Li Ji will not bet, even if he bets on himself, this is about the Dao heart, and the battle is sacred, and it cannot be tarnished by money.
It is not only Han Ya who cares about this duel, but also Han Jiang, the senior brother of the Han Generation;
Han Jiang's seniority became very embarrassing after Wu Xixing's apprenticeship, because from then on, he had to call his little uncle when facing Wu Xixing, which was very reluctant for him to be the oldest among the three heroes of Xuanyuan, and Wu Xixing was born in a family after all, even if he entered the master-apprentice system, Han Jiang's heart was more or less estranged, relatively speaking, it was not as natural as getting along with Li Ji, who was born from the grassroots.
"Senior brother, although I don't know that Senior Brother Han Peng has practiced those secret techniques, but the overall strength is not to be underestimated." Han Jiang said solemnly.
"In the so-called Xuanyuan Sanjie, my brother and I are actually not worthy of the real name, in terms of realm, I am above the cold ice and the cold star, and I am not as good as the two of them; Hanxing's sword skills are excellent, and his aggression is like fire, especially if he is defeated by Wu Xixing, you must not ignore the severity of it. “
"I'll save it." Li Ji nodded and said, Hanjiang has the style of a humble gentleman, which he admires very much.
"The small world of your competition will be presided over by Yuanying Zhenren, and the safety can be guaranteed, but it is impossible to say whether you are injured or not, you must pay attention to this, do your best, and don't shrink back because you are afraid of hurting people." Han Jiang told again.
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me." Li Ji was deeply stunned.
There are also some concerns from inexplicable people, such as Enron.
"Senior brother, I've always wanted to ask my senior brother for guidance on swordsmanship, but who knew that my senior brother was so busy that he hadn't found an opportunity in recent years." An Ran is very calm, his heart is not here, and of course it is impossible to act like some children.
"Hehe, it's Senior Brother I'm too busy, I have a chance, I have a chance." Li Ji said haha, very strange in his heart, I don't know you very well, right?
Looking at the blue sky on the snowy mountain, the fairy birds chirped and flew by from time to time, pointing to two of them, and asked An Ran: "Senior brother, I don't know which of the two cranes is better?" ”
What kind of strange problem is this? Li Ji was completely confused, and he didn't know what was going on in this noble girl's mind? He casually pointed, "This one." ”
An Ran bit lightly, his face was slightly red, and he was secretly annoyed: Sure enough, it was the fat one!
………………
Body Pillar Peak, Xue Gui Garden, here is the private garden of the Wu family, one of the four major families of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
Fang Qiong's real person, Wu Tianqing, was gossiping with several elders of the clan.
"Tianqing, what do you think of the sword competition that will travel west in some time?" An old man Wu Dingyi asked, he is only in the realm of Jindan, and he is the main alchemy pill in the clan, and his status is very high, although the realm is lower, but in terms of seniority, he is two generations higher than Wu Tianqing, so he can rely on the old and sell the old Tianqing.
Before Wu Tianqing could reply, another old man rushed to say: "The disciple of the Wu family, but he has entered the master-apprentice line, what do you want him to do?" “
Wu Tianqing shook his head and smiled, "The third uncle is serious, he will enter the inner sword lineage when he travels west, whether it is the master and apprentice or the family, it is his fate, if he succeeds in the future, it will also be the help of my Wu family, after all, he can't escape this martial character in the surname." “
He turned to Wu Dingyi again, "As for the sword competition, I always thought that it was actually unnecessary, the child who traveled west was too obsessed, and he sought perfection in everything, which was not very beneficial to the way of cultivation. “
"It's about my Wu clan's reputation, do you need to mention a thing or two from the elephant?" Wu Dingyi's words are a little suspicious of cheating, what do you mean by mentioning points? It's just that the real people who control the small world give some convenience, there is no need for fanfare, and there are some small means in the key place, who can see it?
"No, no." Wu Tianqing shook his head, these old men of the family couldn't see the situation clearly at all, and they thought that Xuanyuan could cover the sky with one hand? If Wu Xixing really wants to ride alone in the inner sword, the three of the four major families alone will not sit idly by.
"The elephant is a person who belongs to the inner sword, and he has always refused to eat soft and hard, and oil and salt have not entered, so why bother to touch his moldy head? And this time I want him to lose the best sword competition, kill his sharpness, let him know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people on people, so that he can go further; As for the reputation of my Wu Clan, how could it be affected by a small low-level disciple sword competition? “
Everyone nodded yes.
