"In the Elysium Association, Qian Er and Sister Qin finally walked the same trial path as Brother Liu, and Long Xuan also went with him. We witnessed the strength of Brother Liu with our own eyes. Especially the alien race monsters that suddenly appeared at the end, most of them were killed by Brother Liu. It can be said that he has great credit. As for Long Xuan, he seems to have been trapped. In the end, it was the messenger of the Heavenly Palace who rescued him. " Ouyang Qian winked at Ouyang Qin on the side, signaling her not to talk back, then she spoke.
When the middle-aged man in purple robe heard the words, he was about to refute, but he was stopped by the elegant man. He said with a spurious smile,
"Elder Xin and Qian Er, one recommended Long Xuan, and the other recommended Liu to complete the task for our family. Each has its own reasons, and I am also in a dilemma. How about this, it is better for Liu and Nephew Long to have a public competition. Whoever wins will get the right to use the Exquisite Wall. This is the fairest way. After all, with regards to the matter of the main family, the stronger the external force, the more confident we will be. "
Ouyang Qian and her sister were delighted when they heard the words. They turned to look at Liu Ming with hope in their eyes.
"Since Master Ouyang said so, I naturally have no objection." Liu Ming agreed after hesitating for a while.
It was not surprising that this matter would develop to this point.
Although he heard from Ouyang Qian that Long Xuan had mastered a powerful mystic art, with Liu Ming's current strength, if he used all his strength, not to mention the Crystallization Period, he could even defeat the later stage Jin Dan cultivator.
"Master, it's not appropriate to do this. The previous decision was made by the elders after all. "Ouyang Xin's face became ugly, and he turned and bowed to the elegant man.
"Elder Xin, although the power of the elders is not small, according to the rules of the family, the master also has the right to question it. Besides, the last decision to cooperate with the Demon Mystic Sect seems to be made when I am not in the family. I have made up my mind, so you don't have to say more. If there are any elders who are dissatisfied, just come to me. As for the time of the competition, let's set it to be tomorrow. "The scholarly man replied with a chuckle.
"I wouldn't dare! Since the Patriarch has already made a decision, I will go and inform the Long Xuan. I hope this Liu won't disappoint me. I'll take my leave first. " After Ouyang Xin's expression changed a few more times, he finally agreed with a smile that did not reach his eyes. Then, he cupped his fist at the elegant man and strode out.
"Please don't take offense, Liu. Elder Xin's temper is just like that." The scholarly man nodded at Liu Ming with a helpless expression.
"Not at all. It's just that my visit was a bit abrupt." Liu Ming smiled noncommittally. There was not the slightest hint of abnormality on his face.
"Qian 'er, you take Nephew Disciple Liu to rest. Don't neglect him. Bring him to the Xuan Yuan Platform at noon tomorrow." The elegant man took a deep look at Liu Ming, then he turned his head and instructed Ouyang Qian.
"Don't worry, Patriarch. Qian 'er and Brother Liu are old acquaintances. I will definitely make the appropriate arrangements." Ouyang Qian hurriedly replied with a smile on her face.
Liu Ming also bowed to the scholarly man before leaving the main hall with the Ouyang sisters.
After everyone had left, the main hall sank into silence.
The scholarly man sat on the main seat with one hand gently stroking the back of the chair. His eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, a figure silently appeared in a flash. It was another purple-robed person who had suddenly appeared beside the scholarly man.
This person's chin and cheeks were covered with a thick black beard. He wore the same robes as Ouyang Xin. From his attire, he should be an elder of the Ouyang Clan.
The Ouyang Clan Patriarch did not show any surprise at the appearance of this mustached man. He only nodded slightly.
"You heard the conversation just now?"
"Thank you, Patriarch!" The mustached man bowed and said something without any head or tail. His voice was like a large bell.
"It's just a use of the Exquisite Wall. Elder Ying doesn't have to take it to heart. However, it's not good to let outsiders use our clan's sacred object. It's easy to cause criticism within the clan. This matter can't be repeated. "The Ouyang Clan Patriarch waved his hand lightly.
"I understand!" The mustached man's face changed slightly as he replied respectfully. His voice couldn't help but be a little lower.
"What do you think of this Liu Ming? After all, Long Xuan is also an outstanding disciple of the Demon Mystic Sect. His strength can't be underestimated." The Ouyang Clan Patriarch's tone slowed down as he asked.
"Although I haven't seen Long Xuan before, Liu Ming just casually took Elder Xin's Soul Killing Stab. Not to mention other aspects, just in terms of mental strength, he has definitely reached the level of Jin Dan cultivator. It seems that Yin Jiuling has accepted a good disciple." The mustached man said with admiration.
"In that case, the competition between the two of them is still worth watching. Everything will be decided by the result of the competition. After all, it involves the clan's interests. In the end, it's always good to be stronger. Elder Ying, do you understand what I mean? "The Ouyang Clan Patriarch said as he looked at the mustached man in front of him again.
"I understand. Everything will be decided by the Patriarch." The mustached man cupped his hands and said.
The Ouyang Clan Patriarch nodded and muttered to himself.
The mustached man's eyes flashed as he suddenly asked another matter, "Oh right, Patriarch, that little girl with the surname Sha … Is she really a descendant of Ouyang Ming?"
The elegant man's eyes suddenly sank as he replied after a while, "Looking at her appearance and demeanor, she faintly has some of Ouyang Ming's charm from back then. I think she should be a blood relative of his."
"It's really a pity. With Ouyang Ming's talent, if that incident didn't happen back then, by now …" The mustached man said with a regretful tone.
The Ouyang Clan Patriarch sighed and interrupted the mustached man's words, "Regarding Ouyang Ming, the elders have already made a decision. It's better not to talk about it."
The mustached man replied in a low voice.
…
On the other side, Liu Ming, accompanied by Ouyang Qian and her sister, returned to the Guest Pavilion. After saying goodbye to the two girls, he walked directly into the quiet room.
Ye Hao saw his dignified expression and tactfully did not disturb him. He obediently sat on the bed and silently muttered a few incantations. It was some of the most basic breathing techniques that Liu Ming had asked him to memorize in the past few days.
Liu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He carefully thought about what he had seen and heard today in his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, he sighed and opened his eyes again.
Although there were many twists and turns in this visit to the Ouyang Clan, there was finally some progress in the matter of the Exquisite Wall.
It seemed that the key was still the battle with Long Xuan tomorrow. As long as he personally defeated this Demon Mystic Sect disciple, with the Taiqing Gate behind him, he was not afraid that the other party would go back on their words.
As for the promise of help to the Ouyang Clan, it was secondary compared to the need to break through the Pseudo Pellet Stage bottleneck as soon as possible.
A strange light flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. After thinking for a while, he began to really adjust his breathing and recharge his energy.
At the same time, in a secret room of a tower on the top of a beautiful peak of Jade Dream Mountain, two figures were sitting opposite each other.
One of them was a middle-aged man in a purple robe. He was the elder of the Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Xin. Sitting opposite him was an ugly young man in a black robe with small eyes and a flat nose.
If Liu Ming or the Ouyang Qian sisters were here, they would definitely recognize this person at a glance. He was Long Xuan of the Demon Mystic Sect.
After more than ten years, this person's appearance had changed quite a lot. What was particularly eye-catching was that his hair color had turned dark green. There seemed to be traces of green flames attached to it, which looked extremely strange.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there would actually be someone who came to borrow the Exquisite Wall. It was even that Liu Ming of the Taiqing Gate. What a coincidence." Long Xuan's eyes flickered as he smiled eerily.
"The marriage between our two sects had originally been approved by the Elders Guild. It could be said to be a matter of course. I never thought that at the last moment, this Liu Ming would suddenly come to interfere. He is really abominable!" Ouyang Xin narrowed his eyes and said with a sigh.
"Elder Xin, don't worry. If it was during the Tianmen Meeting back then, I would be a little afraid of this Liu Ming. But now, hehe, during the competition tomorrow, I will naturally make him kneel and beg for mercy." Long Xuan said with extreme confidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange green cold light flashed in his eyes. The tip of his hair suddenly made a few crackling sounds. There was a faint green flame, which made his originally ugly face look even more ferocious.
"Since Martial Nephew Long is certain that he will definitely win, that is naturally the best. As long as you can defeat Liu Ming tomorrow, naturally leave the matter of the marriage to me. "Ouyang Xin said with a chuckle.
But for some unknown reason, every time the purple-robed middle-aged man thought of the scene of Liu Ming withstanding his God-Killing Thorn, he felt a burst of unease in his heart, although he was extremely confident in Long Xuan.
"Then I will have to trouble Elder Xin. When the time comes, I will naturally fulfill my promise to Elder Xin." Long Xuan said with a laugh.
The night was silent.
At noon the next day, in a scenic valley in the Jade Dream Mountain Range.
The grass and trees in the valley were verdant, and the flowers were like brocade. Bursts of refreshing fragrance drifted with the wind. White rabbits and deer ran back and forth between the bushes, and the clear chirping of birds could be heard in the air. It was a pleasant scene of paradise.
This was one of the famous nine peaks and nine valleys of the Jade Dream Mountain Range, Oriole Grass Valley.
In the center of the valley stood a rectangular platform.
This platform was about ten feet from the ground, and it occupied an area of about ten acres. It was built with a kind of greenish-black rock. This was the Black Stone, which was also a type of metal ore. It was known for its sturdiness and durability. However, this ore could not be used to forge spirit tools or magic tools. It was usually used to build buildings.
There were many greenish-black stone pillars erected around the platform. They were also made of Black Stone, and there were many green spirit inscriptions engraved on the surface.
This platform was the place where the disciples of the Ouyang Clan usually practiced their magic power. It was called the Mysterious Origin Platform.
