"Che Qingtian, right? You want to challenge the City Lord's position? "Elder Wu Ming looked at Che Qingtian with a dark expression and asked in a low voice.
"You can't decide this. Wait until your City Lord comes out of seclusion," Che Qingtian said slowly.
"If you want to challenge our City Lord, you have to pass the three tests of Tianji first," Elder Fu said angrily.
"Three tests of Tianji?" Che Qingtian raised his eyebrows, clearly interested.
"Tianji City will set up three tests and send an elder to guard each test. You will also send three people to challenge the tests. As long as you can win two tests, you will pass," Elder Fu said.
"Alright, but what are the rewards and punishments after winning the three tests? You won't let us fight for nothing, right? "Che Qingtian looked around and asked with a shrug.
"If you can win … you can enter the Tianji City's Elder Council and participate in the city's decisions," Elder Wu Ming said after a pause.
"Haha, Elder Council? What's the use of that? I want the City Lord's position! "Che Qingtian said with a smile.
"After you join the Elder Council and become an elder in charge, you will have the right to challenge the City Lord. If you don't dare, then please leave. I won't see you out, "Elder Wu Ming said slowly.
"Alright, I agree," Che Qingtian said after a moment of thought.
"You dare to accept without even asking about the contents of the test?" Elder Wu Ming asked with a frown.
"You can't win in the Art of Hiding." Che Qingtian didn't look arrogant. His expression was calm as if he was saying something that was natural.
"Hmph, a bunch of wandering barbarians dares to speak so arrogantly," Elder Man Jie said with a cold snort.
"What are you talking about? Who are you calling barbarians?"
"We are the orthodox. You are the traitors!"
As soon as he said that, the people on the other side were enraged.
"The three tests will be Soul Duel, Armed Duel, and Art of Hiding. Each side will send three people to compete," Elder Wu Ming said to stop them from arguing.
"What are Soul Duel, Armed Duel, and Art of Hiding?" Che Qingtian asked as he raised one hand to stop the people cursing behind him.
"Soul Battle, as the name suggests, is a battle where the participants compete with the power of their Souls to determine the victor," Elder Wu Ming explained.
"For Yanshi, the strength of one's soul is an important indicator to determine the winner. This competition is indeed very revealing. Not bad." Che Qingtian nodded.
"Armed melee is a competition of Yanshi's skills and techniques in crafting Yanshi's armor. As for the Yandou, Yanshi will personally take part in the battle, controlling the Yandou Armor. "Elder Wu Ming continued to explain.
"Alright, we'll do as you say," Che Qingtian said.
"Since that's the case, then from tomorrow onwards, we'll have a match every day for the next three days to decide the victor. Before that, please move Mechanical City out of the city, "Elder Fu said with a displeased expression.
"Preposterous! We are returning to our own sect. How can we be kicked out?" The white-haired old woman was enraged once again.
Elder Wu Ming stopped Elder Fu and said, "Everyone, it's still not clear who's right and who's wrong. It's not appropriate for the mechanical city to be hung on the city wall. Why don't we temporarily lower it to the North Court?"
Che Qingtian thought for a moment and nodded.
"In that case, everyone, please follow me," As Elder Nameless spoke, he began to lead the way.
Elder Fu and Elder Man Bo both snorted coldly and turned to leave. Elder Wu Ming saw this and only sighed inwardly. He did not argue with the two.
Only Elder Mo Wang followed behind him and led Che Qingtian and the others to the North Court.
The North Court was in the north of Tianji City. It was an open garden with a large open space beside the lake in the garden. Che Qingtian lowered Mechanical City and placed it there.
"Fellow Che Qingtian, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hope that everyone can stay here and rest before tomorrow's competition," Elder Wu Ming reminded.
"Don't worry, Tianji City will be mine sooner or later. I'm not in a hurry to do anything unnecessary at this time," Che Qingtian said with a calm expression.
"Then I'm relieved."
After saying that, Elder Wu Ming bid farewell to them and left with Elder Mo Wang.
However, they hadn't walked far when a person caught up to them. It was the round-faced young girl named Qing Hu who held the emerald green lotus in her hand.
"Fellow Qing Hu, is something the matter?" Elder Wu Ming asked with a frown.
"Nothing, I just wanted to apologize to you," Qing Hu said with a smile.
"What are you doing?" Her apology confused Elder Wu Ming and Elder Mo Wang.
At this moment, the girl covered her mouth with the back of her hand and said in a low voice, "I'm really sorry. Hou Shan is used to being rude and Old Lady Qiang is also used to having a bad temper. I hope you can be magnanimous and not argue with them."
With that, the girl waved at them and turned to leave.
Elder Wu Ming and Elder Mo Wang saw that she was naive and lively, and their dissatisfaction lessened slightly.
After leaving the North Court, Elder Wu Ming immediately called for the disciples of Tianji City and ordered them to send more people to keep a close watch on this place.
"Do you want me to keep an eye on this place tonight?" Elder Mo Wang asked.
"No need for now. Leaving some disciples here is just to let them know that we're restricting their activities. It's like drawing a line. If they do anything strange, we'll have a reason to deal with them. However, we still have to pass down the order to be prepared for battle, "Elder Wu Ming said.
"You let them stay in the city to make it easier to control them, right?" Elder Mo Wang said with a smile.
"If Elder Fu and Berserker were half as smart as you, I wouldn't be as depressed as I am right now. For the next few days, just in case, let's seal off the upper city first. We'll stay in the temporary residence in the lower city, "Elder Wu Ming said after a moment of silence.
As the two were talking, their expressions suddenly changed and they looked in the same direction at the same time.
In the sky near the ground, there was a large patch of golden light shooting up into the sky. At the same time, there was a strong fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
However, the aura quickly retracted until it disappeared.
"Who's in seclusion to break through?" Elder Wu Ming asked in confusion.
"That direction … seems to be Shen Luo," Elder Mo Wang said with a frown.
"Oh, he should be trying to break through to the Middle-stage of True Immortal, but he doesn't seem to have succeeded." Elder Wu Ming nodded.
After that, the two didn't pay too much attention to this matter and continued to rush back together. The situation was a little complicated now. They still had to discuss with Elder Fu and the others about the three tests of Tianji tomorrow.
…
At the same time, Shen Luo was sweating profusely. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, feeling the aftertaste of his cultivation.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
"It seems that it's still not enough. The time is still too short. Even with the help of the Red Lotus Fire Pill, there's no way to break through immediately. Fortunately, the bottleneck has loosened a little. I believe that it won't be difficult in a few days, "Shen Luo thought to himself with a smile.
Then, a cool breeze surrounded him and mist rose. His clothes quickly became clean and dry.
He stood up and went out for a stroll. When he learned that the Young Master was still in seclusion to refine the jade pillow, he planned to continue his seclusion the next day and try his best to break through to the Middle-stage of True Immortal before the jade pillow was repaired.
However, when he heard that Che Qingtian and the others had challenged Tianji City and that the three tests of Tianji would be held tomorrow, he suddenly became interested and planned to go and watch.
