Lu Baishuang turned her head and glanced at Ji Tianxing.
She wanted to explain, but when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back.
She didn't know what to say.
Should she tell Ji Tianxing that she didn't want to see others slander and slander him, so she stood up for him?
She just wanted to protect his reputation and innocence. She didn't consider her own situation at all?
Even though she thought so, she didn't want to say it out loud.
She didn't want Ji Tianxing to think that her care and protection was equal to the love between a man and a woman.
She didn't want Ji Tianxing to think that she had ulterior motives and was deliberately trying to get close to him.
Even though she had some inexplicable feelings in her heart, she also had her own dignity and principles. She didn't want to be looked down upon by Ji Tianxing.
After a while, Yuan Zhen, Qin Zheng, and the Sky City Lord arrived together and landed on the Skyview Platform.
Yuan Zhen was quick-witted. When he saw the expressions of the Martial Saints, he guessed that something unpleasant had happened.
But he didn't ask too much, so as not to affect the Shenwu Sacred Assembly.
"Everyone, today there are 28 young Martial Saints gathered together. They will enter the Void Platform and participate in the Martial Arts Competition.
No matter how mysterious and bizarre their words are during the Martial Arts Competition, in the end, they have to rely on their powerful strength to be convincing enough.
So, I'm looking forward to the performance of the young Martial Saints on the Void Platform. "
Yuan Zhen said with a smile, his tone full of expectation.
"The Martial Arts Competition will be conducted by drawing lots. Two pairs will fight. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated.
Twenty-eight young Martial Saints will participate in the competition. Only the top five will be rewarded.
As for the people in the square, you can also watch the competition through the eight illusory light screens.
Everyone, I hope that this Sacred Assembly can be held smoothly and have a happy ending! "
As his voice fell, the Martial Arts Competition officially began.
The hundreds of thousands of warriors in the square all showed excitement and expectation, cheering and shouting.
Qin Zheng and the Sky City Lord personally opened the array of the Skyview Platform.
Suddenly, the eight directions of the Skyview Platform lit up with dazzling silver light, forming eight huge light screens.
Every light screen showed a pitch-black void.
It was the Void Platform.
Then, Yuan Zhen personally used a secret technique, waving his palm and shooting out a dazzling golden light into the Heaven Viewing Platform.
Suddenly, the sky above the Heaven Viewing Platform lit up with a resplendent golden light, forming a ten-meter-tall door of light.
On the golden door, there were mysterious and profound array patterns that emitted powerful spatial fluctuations.
Yuan Zhen took the lead and flew into the sky, stepping into the golden door of light.
Qin Zheng and the Sky City Lord followed closely behind, followed by the six veteran Martial Sages.
After they all entered the door of light, Yuan Chong led the young Martial Sages into the door of light one after another.
"Shua!"
Ji Tianxing and Lu Baishuang entered the door of light one after the other. They felt a flash of light in front of them, and then they found themselves in the cold, dark void.
The two of them stood still in the void and raised their heads to look ahead. They saw Yuan Zhen, Qin Zheng, and the others standing on a white light disc with a radius of ten thousand feet.
The disc formed by the white light looked like a square, but it also looked like a spatial array.
The ground was solid, as tough as a Divine Artifact.
In the center of the white light disc, there was a shining golden door, leading to an unknown place.
Except for Ji Tianxing and Wenren Jiusheng, it was not the first time for the others to come to the Void Platform.
Groups of three to five people were standing on the white disc of light, discussing with each other through telepathy.
Yuan Zhen, Qin Zheng, and the others were busy counting people and making preparations.
Seizing this opportunity, Ji Tianxing looked around and sized up his surroundings.
In front of the white light disc was a vast and boundless void.
It was dark and cold, without a trace of Spiritual Qi.
However, at the edge of the void, there was a huge golden light screen, which had a radius of five hundred miles.
The golden light curtain was like a huge ball of light that floated quietly in the void.
The five hundred miles of void inside the light ball was the famous Void Platform, which was the arena for the martial arts competition.
The void outside the light ball was boundless, full of unknown dangers.
In the entire Void Platform, there was nothing but the white light disc under everyone's feet.
Ji Tianxing knew that when the martial arts competition began, the Martial Saints on the platform would fight fiercely in the void.
The rest of the Martial Saints would watch the battle from the white light disc.
The battle in the void would be projected on the eight light screens in Wangtian City Square through the array, for hundreds of thousands of martial artists to watch.
However, the scene on the white light disc would not be projected.
After a short few minutes, Yuan Zhen and Qin Zheng were ready.
Not only did they prepare to draw lots, but they also activated the defensive array of the white light disc to ensure that the aftermath of the battle on the Void Platform would not affect the others.
Yuan Zhen held 28 jade slips in his hand and said to the crowd, "Okay, the 28 young Martial Saints participating in the martial arts competition, get ready to draw lots.
To ensure fairness, Lord Qin and I will not participate in the drawing of lots. We are only responsible for hosting and supervising the martial arts competition.
The matter of drawing lots will be left to the six Martial Saints! "
After saying that, he waved his right hand and threw the 28 jade slips into the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
After a few breaths, the 28 jade slips spread out and lined up in the air.
Each jade slip recorded a young Martial Saint's name, age, strength, and other information.
The Covered Island Master cupped his hands and bowed to the crowd. He said with a smile, "For the first round of the Sacred Assembly, I will draw lots first. Good luck!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and shot out 14 golden lights toward the 28 jade slips.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the 28 jade slips were divided into 14 pieces and floated in front of him.
He picked up the jade slips in front of him and announced loudly, "For the first round, Martial Saint Chenyue will fight against Martial Saint Tianchang, Martial Saint Bai Shuang will fight against Martial Saint Tianxin …
Martial Saint Yuanchong will fight against Martial Saint Ru Feng, Martial Saint Tianxing will fight against Martial Saint Lu Que, Martial Saint Qingshan will fight against … "
As the Covered Island Master announced the names of the Martial Saints one after another, the expressions of the more than 20 Martial Saints became interesting.
Some of them looked indifferent and calm. Some of them were full of confidence and smiled.
Naturally, there were also some who frowned and looked serious.
After all, there was a lot of chance in the drawing of lots.
If one was lucky and met a weaker opponent, he would be able to advance to the second round of the competition.
However, if the Martial Saints were unlucky and met a stronger opponent, they would be defeated in the first round and leave the competition.
Lu Baishuang frowned and quietly looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd. Her eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness.
Ji Tianxing noticed this and asked secretly, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the drawing of lots?
