In the main stand, Venerable Yan and Jiang Hongzhen both showed solemn expressions, Xiao Cheng was seriously injured, except for those close to Xiao Cheng, the most worried were naturally the two of them, both of them knew Xiao Cheng's details.

Xiao Cheng's injury at this time will inevitably affect tomorrow's finals, Jiu has invested a huge amount of money for the victory of the finals, if Xiao Cheng or the bloody ruthless people finally fail, Jiu Chu's reputation will be hit hard, and the world will laugh at it.

Don't forget, the Western powerhouses are all invited by the nine places to participate in the world competition, and letting Xiao Cheng fight to win this competition will make people mistakenly think that the nine places deliberately invited the Western powerhouses to participate, and used bloody and ruthless people to subdue the Western powerhouses, so as to make the Kyushu cultivation world prestige greater.

But if he loses, he will undoubtedly slap himself in the face, and how will the nine places explain it to the people of the world when the time comes? It would be better if there were no bloody and ruthless people participating in the fight, but the rumors have already been released, and it is impossible to take back what he said.

Jiang Hongzhenzhong did not have the same restraint as Venerable Yan, and frowned and said: "With Yan senior, things seem to be a little tricky, you look at his injury, tomorrow the final will definitely be lost, we should plan early."

Otherwise, we will expose his identity now, saying that we don't know anyone in the nine places, and we were deceived by him, so we will use this as an excuse to disqualify him from the competition with another identity, so that Xiao Cheng's victory or defeat has nothing to do with our nine places, do you think it's okay?"

Venerable Yu Yan was slightly silent, and did not immediately answer Jiang Hongzhen's words, his eyes were full of essence, and he said noncommittally for a while: "Hong Zhen, your mention is a solution, but it can't solve the fundamental problem, it can only reduce the damage to the reputation of the nine places. Therefore, this method cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Also, think about it. Why did Xiao Cheng suddenly burst into a ball of fire just now, was it really used to attack Jace? I don't see it. He's just trying to avoid people's eyes.

This little fox is not simple-minded, maybe he did it on purpose, and set us a trap, no one knows what happened in the flames, right?

Don't forget our previous speculation, Xiao Cheng will 100% quit halfway, he and the bloody ruthless man are the same person, if he enters the finals. There will definitely be a chance to be in the ring at the same time, and in order to avoid getting into trouble with himself, he will definitely retire.

Maybe, he just wants to take this opportunity to withdraw from the competition, everyone knows that he is injured, no one will say anything if he retires, it will not have any impact on his reputation, but will become a hero in the hearts of the younger generation of cultivators!"

Jiang Hongzhen frowned, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Could it be said." Is the sword's wound fake? It was entirely his own infliction? But I don't think so, I just used my divine sense to investigate, and this sword did pierce his chest!"

"These are just my speculations. It can't be taken seriously, the injuries caused by this sword are indeed true, but his intentions are difficult to say.

Hehe, he is a bloody and ruthless man, he is ruthless to the enemy, even more ruthless to himself, he stabs himself with a sword, he will definitely do it!" Venerable He Yan showed a cold smile, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

If he hadn't guessed Xiao Cheng's details in advance. This time he will definitely be fooled by Xiao Cheng, but now he already knows it. Xiao Cheng played any tricks, it was just a joke for him. I couldn't escape the palm of his hand.

"However, no matter whether this sword is true or not, in order for him to win the final tomorrow, he should be given some fast-acting healing pills!

No, you can't send the best healing pill, otherwise with this kid's shrewdness, we will definitely be able to guess that we may have guessed his details, and we will definitely run away.

Send a little bit of the elixir, just the five-grade fire pill, this can quickly treat external and internal injuries, just suitable for his situation, anyway, the nine places have also given some cultivators healing pills before, in order to let them play their full strength in the ring.

He thought he was doing a great job of concealing his identity, and he wouldn't have thought that we had discovered his secrets!" added Venerable He Yan with a sneer.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Jiang Hongzhen nodded, feeling a little relieved, it seems that things are not as bad as he imagined, maybe Xiao Cheng's injury will not affect tomorrow's finals.

......

In the Penglai Inn, Xiao Cheng finally pulled out the cross sword on his chest, sweating in pain, his face and mouth were a little pale, this Jace was really ruthless enough, and it made him so uncomfortable when he died, it seems that tomorrow's final should also pay more attention, and the cultivators in the West are not very simple.

At the same time as pulling out the cross sword, Xiao Cheng immediately pinched out the seal of the Qingshan Qinshui technique, and the huge wound on his chest healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared.

Fortunately, Jace is a strong man with fighting spirit, if he is a strong person in the Eastern Spirit Sect, it is not so easy to heal such a terrifying wound, and in two or three days, even the Dao power in it cannot be resolved, let alone heal the wound.

After the wound healed, Xiao Cheng only felt relaxed, most of the fighting energy in his body had dissipated, and he couldn't bring much impact to him, and he basically recovered his full strength, but he took the True Spirit Heavenly Demon Pill, and after the effect of the medicine passed, he felt a wave of tiredness flowing all over his body, and his strength was immediately folded.

Xiao Cheng couldn't lift his strength, his eyelids only fought, and he was afraid that he would fall asleep when he closed his eyes, on the one hand, because of the side effects of the True Spirit Heavenly Demon Pill, and on the other hand, because of excessive blood loss, his body was not iron-beaten.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside the door......

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm Deacon Li of the Ninth Division, and it was the Director who asked me to send Xiao Cheng the pill, I hope Xiao Cheng's injuries can heal quickly and will not affect the next fight!"

"Danyao, okay, just hand over the pill to me, I'll send it in later, Xiao Cheng is healing at this moment, it's inconvenient to meet, thank the director for Xiao Cheng's kindness!"

"Okay, then hand over a Fairy Ye, and I'll definitely bring it to Fairy Ye!"

After Deacon Li's footsteps went away, the wooden door of the meditation room creaked open, and Ye Lingdie took the pill and walked into the meditation room with a sad face, lightly footed and lightly handed, lest he disturb Xiao Cheng's healing.

Xiao Cheng frowned, stopped healing, opened his eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of pill was sent from the nine places?"

Xiao Cheng instinctively sensed that Jiu's move seemed to have some deep meaning, because of the problem of identity, he was extremely sensitive to Jiu's every move, and he had been worried that Jiu's every move had been discovered, and when he saw that Jiu's sudden delivery of pills, he immediately thought if Jiu's identity had been discovered.

Ye Lingdie and Xiao Cheng glanced at each other, as if they had a clear heart, and immediately guessed what Xiao Cheng thought, Dai frowned slightly, and hesitated: "Maybe you think too much, the nine places have also sent pills to cultivators before, this time the nine places sent the fire pill, but it is slightly better than the recovery pill, if you know your identity, you will definitely send a better pill!"

"That's not necessarily, Venerable Yan, the old fox, is thoughtful, what we can think of, he can also think of, naturally he won't stupidly send a better pill to make me suspicious. However, as far as Ling'er said, I really can't judge the question of whether Venerable Yan guessed my identity from the act of sending the pill!"

Xiao Cheng shook his head, didn't bother to think about it, and said with a smile: "Whatever, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and I am not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, I didn't guess the best, if I guessed...... Hehe, he has already dug a big hole for him, he wants to jump into it, I won't stop him, just dig it or bury it!"

Ever since he noticed the change in His Venerable Yan's attitude, he had heightened his vigilance, taking all his lives into account, and had prepared several follow-up moves for himself.

Cooperating with the Nine Divisions is tantamount to seeking the skin of the tiger, either becoming a lackey of the Nine Divisions in the end, or dying without a place to be buried, but neither of these is what he wants, so he can only find a way to open up a new path by himself.

Such a plan that even nine places are calculated, it is not possible to make a few moves without getting out, and these back moves are used to counter the nine places, if the competition is over, there is nothing to do, then the back move will not play any role, only the nine places are difficult, and the back move will have an effect.

With his current strength, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to deal with Jiuzhi, Jiuzhi can crush him lightly with a finger, and his subsequent moves are just for self-preservation, such as stealing beams and changing pillars, golden cicadas shedding their shells, dark Chen Cang, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, suspicious tactics, etc., and it is a victory to get out of the way.

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion in your heart, how is the injury?" Ye Lingdie came to Xiao Cheng's side with a short body, gently held Xiao Cheng's hand, and asked softly with concern, with indescribable tenderness in her beautiful eyes.

In the eyes of the vast majority of cultivators, Ye Lingdie, one of the top ten beauties, is undoubtedly a strong woman, she has always been very strong and calm in front of people, and probably only Xiao Cheng can appreciate Ye Lingdie's gentle side.

Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand to hold Ye Lingdie's soft waist, his heart was warm, rubbing Ye Lingdie's jade hand, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, it's good to have you by your side, if you are not the palace master of Taiyi Palace, you don't have to worry about the door rules or anything, when the construction of Yunxiao City is completed, you can always live in Yunxiao City, and it is quite good to be the wife of the city lord!"

Ye Lingdie glanced at Xiao Cheng fiercely, a smile bloomed on her pretty face, and she said coquettishly: "It's all like this, still thinking about messy things, who said that I promised to marry you? Hmph! Daydreaming, I don't know how many city lord wives you will have!"

Of course, Xiao Cheng knew that Ye Lingdie was talking and playing, and deliberately angry with him, and said coldly with a straight face: "Who will you marry if you don't marry me?"

Ye Lingdie sneered, feeling sweet in her heart, her slender jade finger poked Xiao Cheng's temple fiercely, and said angrily: "How can you be like this, so domineering, Ling'er can't marry for the rest of her life, just like my master!"

"It's so sad that you are willing to be lonely and unwilling to marry me, this can't be done, how can you bear to see you lonely for the rest of your life!" Xiao Cheng sneered, a pair of big hands roamed back and forth, if it weren't for the blood stains on his clothes, no one would believe that he was seriously injured not long ago.
