"This …"
While Xing Jue was puzzled, Dao Yang's face was filled with shock. A sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart.
His attack was not to be underestimated. When his previous attack collapsed, he felt a powerful force.
"As expected of the Vice Palace Master. Dao Yang, you saved me the time of interrogating you."
While Xing Jue and Dao Yang were puzzled, the space in front of Xing Jue squirmed. Then, a familiar figure appeared before him.
"Mr. Pumpkin?"
At this moment, Xing Jue was overjoyed. The person who appeared before him was Mr. Pumpkin, who had been smashed into a puddle of blood by Dao Yang.
However, what delighted Xing Jue the most was that Mr. Pumpkin was not only glowing, but his clothes were also undamaged. This proved that Mr. Pumpkin was indeed powerful.
"You old geezer, you were able to escape my attack?"
After seeing Mr. Pumpkin, although Dao Yang's aura did not change on the surface, his gaze became even more solemn.
"Hahaha, do you really think that you can kill me with your measly Shura Warrior's strength?"
Mr. Pumpkin suddenly burst into laughter. His voice was so loud that it sounded like tens of thousands of thunderclaps. It exploded in everyone's ears and even caused the dark space to tremble.
"You … Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, the previously arrogant Dao Yang's face turned extremely pale. He finally realized that something was wrong.
Mr. Pumpkin had been hiding in the Sacred Alliance for many years. His identity was very mysterious. Among the high-ranking disciples, no one dared to provoke him. Even many elders were afraid of him.
However, Dao Yang was different. He was the leader of the Punishment Department. Even though he knew that Mr. Pumpkin's identity was not simple, he had never taken him seriously. However, at this moment, he had no choice but to face this mysterious old man.
"Who am I? I'll let you meet me. "
Suddenly, Mr. Pumpkin's body turned into a cloud of mist. The mist soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the sky.
At this moment, Xing Jue's vision was filled with white light. Even his soul could not penetrate the mist, and he could not see any changes.
However, the white mist only lasted for a moment. When it dissipated, Mr. Pumpkin had already recovered and was once again standing in front of him.
As for Dao Yang, he was kneeling in mid-air. He did not even dare to raise his head. One could only see that his body was trembling, showing the fear in his heart.
"Milord …" Suddenly, Dao Yang spoke. His trembling voice was clearly begging for forgiveness.
Buzz!
"Ah!"
However, before Dao Yang could finish speaking, Mr. Pumpkin waved his sleeve, and Dao Yang's body turned into a ray of light that entered Mr. Pumpkin's sleeve and was subdued.
"This …"
Witnessing such a scene, Xing Jue could no longer remain calm. A high-level Shura General was actually unable to retaliate. This was enough to show just how powerful Mr. Pumpkin was.
"Xing Jue, let's go."
In the face of Xing Jue's astonished gaze, Mr. Pumpkin only smiled indifferently. At the same time, Xing Jue's body had already involuntarily floated up.
He began to fly out of the Heavenly Cavern at the speed of light. Furthermore, his speed was several times faster than before.
Xing Jue was not surprised by this change, because he knew that this speed was Mr. Pumpkin's true strength.
Under Mr. Pumpkin's lead, the journey that should have taken a few hours was covered in a short while.
After flying out of the pitch-black Heavenly Cavern, a bright sun appeared in front of them. Xing Jue and Mo Wuji had finally returned to the Western Residence.
After leaving the Heavenly Cavern, Mr. Pumpkin slowed down again. He was no longer the super expert, but the unruly old man of the past.
Mr. Pumpkin brought Execution along with him and flew towards a continent with great familiarity.
Before they even got close, they could hear the deafening shouts and see the densely packed figures.
Needless to say, that was the place where the competition for the slots to the main residence was held.
However, when Xing Jue and the others entered the continent and saw the empty competition platform, as well as the hundreds of high-ranking disciples standing on the floating platform, they could not help but feel their hearts tighten.
The hundred disciples were all in high spirits, and their faces were glowing. Xing Jue even recognized three of them.
His beloved Li Xiao Han, Li Xiao Han's good sister Li Yu Ran, and the so-called genius of the Dao Clan, Dao Jingtian.
At that moment, the hundred of them were standing on the platform, and the sea of people around them was letting out endless cheers.
This most likely meant that the competition for the slots to the main residence was over, and Li Xiao Han and the others had successfully obtained the slots.
"Xiao Han and Senior Sister Li have succeeded. That's good too. They entered the main residence before me. Perhaps this is a good thing."
After looking at Li Xiao Han and Li Yu Ran meaningfully, Xing Jue suddenly smiled. Although he had missed this opportunity, he was still happy for Li Xiao Han and Li Yu Ran.
"Big Brother Xing Jue!"
At that moment, Li Xiao Han also sensed Xing Jue's gaze. Ignoring everyone's opinion, she flew off the floating platform and flew towards Xing Jue.
At the same time, Li Yu Ran also flew over with a smile.
"Big Brother Xing Jue, it's great that you're fine. Are you able to control the Blood Talisman Venomous Bugs?"
Li Xiao Han arrived before Xing Jue and examined Xing Jue. When she saw that Xing Jue was fine and full of vitality, she narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly.
Li Xiao Han had been cultivating in seclusion for the past few days. She wanted to use the power given by Lord Dragon Phoenix to make a breakthrough.
When she came out of seclusion and learned that Xing Jue had been harmed by the Blood Talisman Venomous Bugs, she was extremely worried. Now that Xing Jue was fine, she was naturally overjoyed.
"Xiao Han, you've successfully broken through?"
Seeing Li Xiao Han, Xing Jue was also very happy. He could feel that Li Xiao Han had successfully broken through to the Intermediate Asura Fighting Soul.
"Mm, Big Brother Xing Jue, we can finally enter the Headquarters together." Li Xiao Han smiled happily.
"Enter the main mansion together?" However, Xing Jue's face was filled with confusion when he heard this. Confusion appeared on his face.
"Don't tell me that Big Brother Xing Jue doesn't know?"
"But Senior Sister Li clearly told me that Big Brother Xing Jue has already obtained the quota to enter the Headquarters. That's why she asked me to participate in the fight for the quota."
Seeing the change in Xing Jue's expression, Li Xiao Han suddenly understood and looked at Li Yu Ran, who was beside her, with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Pumpkin, didn't you say that Sister Xiao Han and I should participate in the fight for the quota and that Junior Brother Xing Jue has already obtained the quota?"
Facing Li Xiao Han's and Xing Jue's gazes, Li Yu Ran looked at Mr. Pumpkin with an aggrieved expression. So, all of this was Mr. Pumpkin's doing.
"Hehe, you two girls, don't look at me like that. Why would I lie to you?"
"Although the situation has been decided, the quota to enter the Headquarters can still be fought for." Mr. Pumpkin scratched his messy hair and laughed wretchedly.
"Fight? How? Now that the fight for the quota has ended and Big Brother Xing Jue did not participate, are you going to give him the quota? "
After knowing that she had been tricked, Li Xiao Han became angry. If she had not listened to Li Yu Ran and learned that Xing Jue had already obtained the quota, she would definitely not participate in this year's fight for the quota.
This was because even though she had promised Fairy Ying to help her obtain the Five Elements Key, Li Xiao Han was more willing to stay by Xing Jue's side.
"Xiao Han, I think Mr. Pumpkin must have his ways."
Seeing this, Xing Jue smiled and stroked Li Xiao Han's silky hair. He knew that Mr. Pumpkin was very resourceful, so he believed that it was no wonder that Mr. Pumpkin would not trick them. Since he had instructed Li Yu Ran, he must have his ways.
"The way is very simple. Challenge those who have already obtained the quota. As long as you defeat them, you can naturally replace them," Mr. Pumpkin said casually.
"This … Now that the fight for the quota has ended, is there a reason to challenge them?" Li Xiao Han's face was still filled with anger. She felt that his words were nonsense.
"Hehe, how would you know if you don't try?"
"Xing Jue, go. Challenge the person you want to challenge and do what you want to do. No matter how big the consequences are, I will bear them for you."
Mr. Pumpkin's smile did not change as he patted Xing Jue's shoulder meaningfully.
At this moment, Xing Jue's face was brimming with a bright smile. He had already understood the meaning behind Mr. Pumpkin's words.
With a turn of his body, he cast his gaze on another floating high platform. Gathered there were all the upper echelons of the Western Branch Manor.
Other than the Punishment Lord and the Vice Manor Head, there was a grey-robed elder wearing a Bamboo Hat sitting on the seat in the center.
This elder's aura was like that of an ordinary person. Xing Jue could not see through him at all, but for some unknown reason, he gave Xing Jue a familiar feeling.
But without thinking too much, Xing Jue already knew this person's identity. It was obvious that he was the mysterious Manor Head of the Western Branch Manor.
Ever since Li Xiao Han and Li Yu Ran flew toward Xing Jue, Xing Jue had become the focus of everyone's attention. And at this moment, when Xing Jue cast his gaze on the Manor Head, it attracted even more whispers from the crowd.
Because they had a feeling that this fearless kid was going to do something unimaginable again.
As expected, Xing Jue cupped his fists and said to the Manor Head, "Lord Manor Head, disciple Xing Jue has a request."
"What is it? Speak." An old and hoarse voice came from below the Bamboo Hat.
"Lord Manor Head, due to some matters, I, Xing Jue, was unable to participate in the fight for the quota to enter the Main Manor."
"However, disciple does not want to miss this opportunity. I hope that Lord Manor Head can give disciple a chance."
"Impudent! Do you know who you are talking to? You have violated the rules of the Western Branch Manor, and you still dare to ask for a chance from Lord Manor Head? "
However, as soon as Xing Jue finished speaking, the Vice Manor Head who was sitting beside the Manor Head rebuked him fiercely.
When he saw Xing Jue and Mr. Pumpkin appear, the Vice Manor Head knew that his plan had failed. At that moment, he was extremely uneasy. He did not understand why Dao Yang, who possessed such strength, would fail.
However, no matter what, he would not give Xing Jue a chance. That was because he had already promised the Dao Clan. If he failed, even if he was the Vice Manor Head of the Western Branch Manor, he would still face great danger. After all, he had already done something that could not be brought to light.
However, before the Vice Manor Head could finish speaking, the Lord Manor Head waved his hand and signaled him to shut up. Then, he turned to Xing Jue and asked with a smile,
"May I know what kind of chance you want me to give you?"
"If it's reasonable, I can consider it."
"I will definitely not violate the rules of entering the Main Manor. I will enter with my own strength."
Seeing that, Xing Jue could not help but be overjoyed and continued, "Right now, the senior brothers and senior sisters on the high platform are all qualified to enter the Main Manor. Xing Jue feels that as long as I defeat one of them, I will be able to replace him and enter the Main Manor."
"Huu ~ ~ ~ ~"
"What? Xing Jue actually wants to challenge the senior brothers and senior sisters who have already obtained a place? How audacious of him. "
"That's right. Does he think that the rules of the Western Branch Manor are nothing? How could the Lord Manor Head agree to such a childish request?! "
Countless people rolled their eyes at Xing Jue's words. They all felt that Xing Jue was talking nonsense. The Lord Manor Head would never agree to such an absurd request.
That was because it was an unfair request to the disciples who had already obtained a place. No one wanted the things that they had obtained to be snatched away by others.
"Haha, good. Since you are confident that you have the strength, I will give you a chance. Choose who you want to challenge." However, to everyone's surprise, the Lord Manor Head actually agreed to Xing Jue's request without any hesitation.
Such a change not only shocked everyone, but it also caused the Vice Manor Head's face to turn pale.
"Thank you, Lord Manor Head."
Seeing that, Xing Jue bowed to the Lord Manor Head gratefully. Then, he cast his sharp gaze towards Dao Jingtian on the high platform.
