Until the dawn of the next day, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, Xu Yan greeted the first ray of deep blue of the new day, and when he got up and came to the patio, he was still throbbing for the cardinal's unintentional words.

For him, the word 'hometown' contains too many meanings that are difficult to describe in words.

Xujia Village, which is in the north of Lingzhou, close to Wangchuan City, the largest county town in Lingzhou, and a small village adjacent to 'Yumen Town', can actually only be regarded as half of his hometown, because his real hometown is not in this Wuzhou continent at all.

After Xu Yan washed up in the patio, he still felt a little disturbed in his mind, and he had been wandering thousands of miles since last night.

On this night, he not only recalled the various images that had passed more than 800 years since this moment, but also remembered some old people whose faces had long been blurred, among them, there were the women he once loved the most, the subordinates who were most loyal to him, and countless enemies, but it is a pity that there were no friends or brothers among them, because the only one had also become his enemies after living together for 100,000 years.

Xu Yan exhaled a breath of turbidity, still unable to understand why the other party chose to kill him at that time, they were once so close to the 'Heavenly Domain', and as long as they arrived in the Heavenly Domain, it was said that they would be able to realize all their unattainable dreams.

But everything was changed by that sword.

"Why, why?" Xu Yan sat quietly on a stone bench in the courtyard, obviously still a young man of only sixteen years old, but he covered his face with his hands, like a lonely old man full of vicissitudes.

He muttered to himself in pain.

But in the Five States Continent, who can give him this answer?

......

When Xu Yan came to Lianwu Square again, the time was close to three quarters, and today's weather was still very beautiful.

Although he and those disciples who successfully advanced to the fourth round did not have to participate in the competition today, Xu Yan still made an exception to come to the viewing area of the Winter Character Sect, the reason for this is that his own mood is very bad and he has no intention of cultivating on the one hand, and on the other hand, the cardinal has refused to feed him since the sword was successfully taken by Xu Yan yesterday, saying that in the face of this level of competition, there is no need to help him temper it.

Xu Yan certainly felt a little inexplicable about this, but it was not good to force the other party too much, so he could only give up, but what Xu Yan didn't know was that in fact, last night, when he destroyed Li Ku's foundation with one punch, there was already a figure standing on the edge of darkness somewhere, staring at all this coldly, presumably even if he didn't react at that time, he would definitely not have any worries about his life.

Just like Xu Yan came to watch the battle, none of the sect disciples today were left behind, and they flocked to the viewing area early. After all, the five successful people in today's breakout competition are of great significance, not only related to the subsequent Baishan Spring Hunting quota, but also will determine the final strength ranking between the four factions in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In the hearts of some people, the interest on the faction is undoubtedly far greater than that of the spring hunt, if they can't even keep the Little Lotus Peak under their jurisdiction, it will be criticized and pointed out by Qianfu as a manifestation of incompetence.

Compared with Song Yu's relaxed appearance, Han Yu, Feng Yuanshan, and Wang Chu were sitting a little upright, and they also had an extremely solemn look on their faces.

Among the disciples who successfully advanced to the fourth round yesterday, the Chunzi faction was far ahead with an advantage of six people, while the Xia faction had four, the Qiuzi faction was defeated due to Li Ku's final defeat, and only three people remained, and the Dongzi faction continued to be at the bottom, but there were also two people, namely Xu Yan and Qiu Yuanjin.

Therefore, in the case that most of the personnel have been determined, then the situation in the breakout competition today is also very clear, for example, for the Chunzi faction, as long as they qualify for two more in the breakout competition, then the three factions in summer, autumn and winter will completely lose the opportunity to compete with them for the first place.

Although there is only one person difference between the Dongzi faction and the Qiuzi faction, Wang Chu knows that the probability of his faction wanting to catch up with the other party is not large, because after all, he is only left with Xu Hui in the Dongzi faction, what is Xu Hui's strength, he already understands it after watching it yesterday, since he can't win one-on-one, then in today's three-person melee, it is impossible for her to get this qualifying place.

Being able to squeeze into the top twenty from one hundred and twenty people, the cultivation of these disciples has basically reached the peak of the third layer, but in fact, the gap is not big.

It's just that Wang Chu has always been a character who doesn't deal with Song Yu, and seeing that the latter was still brushing his beard at this time, looking complacent, he couldn't help but get angry, and immediately sneered: "Why, Elder Song is putting on a good face now, does this mean that he thinks that his faction has firmly occupied the first place?"

Zhao Bailian saw that Wang Chu took the initiative to stir up trouble again, and immediately felt helpless.

When Song Yu heard this, he was already ready to wait to laugh at their dog-eat-dog calm look, and immediately became cold, his perception of Wang Chu was the same as when the latter looked at him, and he also felt that the short and fat man in front of him made him angry just by looking at him, so he replied coldly: "If my Chunzi faction can win the first place, I won't bother Elder Wang to eat radishes and worry about it, you still have to think about how to make your own Dongzi faction not be at the bottom, as far as the old man knows, your Dongzi faction is only the last female disciple left, and if you want to catch up with Elder Feng's Qiuzi faction, I'm afraid it's hanging!" ”

Wang Chu was furious, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but when Zhao Bailian saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay, what kind of identity are the two elders, how can they quarrel endlessly on such an occasion? ”

Seeing Zhao Bailian come out to dissuade him, Wang Chu, who had already swore dirty words to his mouth, had an old red face, puffing up like an angry frog, but he didn't dare to confide the words in his mouth again.

Zhao Bailian couldn't laugh or cry at this, so she had to say comforting words again: "Elder Wang, you have to be calm in everything, don't be angry, it's not worth it, there are six or seven hundred disciples of the Dongzi Sect, if you don't preside over the overall situation, how can it be good?"

......

The breakout competition finally kicked off under everyone's gaze, but as the competition progressed, the results produced one by one were somewhat unexpected, but they were reasonable.

In the first game of the breakout competition, an outer disciple of the Chunzi Sect won.

In the second game of the breakout match, an inner disciple of the Chunzi Sect won.

At this point, the Chunzi faction has been able to determine that in this selection competition, they won the first place with an almost crushing absolute advantage, and they can be regarded as successfully retaining the No. 1 to No. 8 Little Lotus Peaks.

Seeing that Song Yu already had a smile on his face at the moment, Wang Chu's violent temper in his stomach was almost about to emerge again, but seeing Zhao Bailian looking at him, he could only give up in the end, so he scolded in his stomach, "It's really a villain." ”

Seeing that the five places have been taken away by the Chunzi faction, Han Yu and Feng Yuanshan inevitably feel a little anxious in their hearts, although in the competition on the day, the Xiazi faction was promoted by one more person than the Qiuzi faction, but in the first two rounds of the breakout competition, the disciples of the Xiazi faction lost two people one after another, and none of the Qiuzi faction drew the first and second games, therefore, in the next three breakout matches, there were only three people left in the Xiazi faction, one from the Dongzi faction, and one from the Chunzi faction, and only three people from the Qiuzi faction were left because Li Ku was no longer able to play.

The third breakout match officially began.

Among the disciples who were drawn to this scene, there were two disciples of the Qiuzi faction, and a disciple of the Xiazi faction, without the slightest surprise, under the joint offensive of the two of the Qiuzi faction, although the disciples of the Xiazi faction were stronger in their personal strength, they were still invincible with two fists and four hands, and finally regretted defeat, and then under the initiative of a disciple of the Qiuzi faction, another disciple of the Qiuzi faction won.

Seeing this, Feng Yuanshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't relax in the slightest, after all, they had only just equaled the number of people in the Xia Zi Sect.

Fourth Breakout Match.

Compared with before, the situation is relatively more anxious, because among the three people who were drawn to this scene, one is a disciple of the Chunzi faction, one is a disciple of the Xiazi faction, and one is Xu Hui of the Dongzi faction.

Watching Xu Hui play, Xu Yan and Qiu Yuanjin in the preparation area tightened their attention, but the gap in strength was too obvious, and in this round, in the end, the inner disciple of the Chunzi Sect won without any suspense. And the appearance of this result also made all the disciples of the Xia and Autumn factions hold their breath at the same time, because in the fifth breakout match, only the last inner disciple of the Xia Zi Sect and the last inner disciple of the Qiu Zi Sect were left.

As the competition continued, time passed quietly, and Xu Yan, who finally comforted Xu Hui and didn't let her continue to shed tears, looked up at the sky after vacating his body, and found that it was Shen Shi at this time, but fortunately, the last breakout match was about to take place.

Fifth Breakout Match.

It is different from the previous four games, because it is a one-on-one competition, and the significance of this competition is also extraordinary, it will mean that in this selection competition, whether the summer character faction has five people to qualify, or the autumn character faction has five people to qualify.

The competition has finally begun.

In the battle square, the sword qi was flying, and in the face of this battle, the two inner disciples showed their real housekeeping skills, and they no longer had the slightest clumsiness.

For a while, the two of them had their own offense and defense, opening and closing, the mysterious sword styles emerged in endlessly, and the strong sword qi was stacked wave after wave, which was an eye-opener.

Xu Yan felt that the strength of these two people was indeed good, although they could not be compared with Li Ku, they were undoubtedly stronger than Ma Ming and Zhang Shuji he had met before.

And in the end, this competition lasted for more than half an hour, and after the strength of the two people who fought was exhausted, it still ended with the disciples of the Xia Zi faction narrowly winning half a move, and this result also made the Xia Zi faction safely keep the original eight Little Lotus Peaks.

In the viewing area, Han Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, and Feng Yuanshan was gloomy face, but he quickly took away this cold expression, and instead turned to Han Yu and congratulated him: "I didn't expect that in the end, your Xia Zi Sect was even stronger, congratulations to Elder Han." ”

When Han Yu heard this, his face was stunned, and he immediately reacted, and hurriedly replied: "Where is it, Elder Feng is too humble, my Xia Zi Sect can win this time, it is purely a fluke, alas, if it weren't for Li Kuxian's nephew meeting Xu Yanxian's nephew in advance, it would be really hard to say who would win or lose." ”

When Feng Yuanshan heard this, he smiled with an ugly face and stopped answering.
