Fangzheng and another Crane Gate elder led over ten disciples into the competition venue. ¤
Outside the venue, there were buzzing noises. Over a thousand Gu Masters were sitting on the surrounding platforms, discussing in low voices while waiting for the eighth round to begin.
But because there were too many people, even the slightest sound of conversation became very noisy when it was gathered together.
"It's Crane Gate's elder and disciple." Once they saw Fangzheng's group, the surrounding Gu Masters could not help but look at them, their discussions also became hushed.
Compared to the large and small forces, the people of Central Continent's ten great ancient sects were like princes walking among commoners.
"That young man is actually wearing Crane Gate's elder's robe, am I seeing things?"
"Lower your voice, he is a rank five Gu Master, his aura is genuine!"
"What are you making a fuss about, it's not like there aren't Gu worms that can maintain youthful looks …"
"Look, it's Myriad Dragon Dock's disciples and elders."
At the next moment, everyone's gazes were attracted to another group of people.
This group of Gu Masters had twice the number of Crane Gate's members. They were led by four elders, and there were also many elite disciples among the disciples.
"Myriad Dragon Dock …" The Crane Gate elder's gaze froze when he saw this.
Myriad Dragon Dock, one of the ten great ancient sects, had been in the limelight recently. The reason was because of Vicious Lightning Fiend.
Vicious Lightning Fiend might only be a rank six Gu Immortal, but his battle strength was extremely outstanding.
After two years of closed cultivation, he comprehended the immortal killer move lightning deity. After that, he came out of his closed cultivation and roamed Central Continent, challenging countless Gu Immortals along the way. He won most of the time, with few draws. There were few defeats.
The more Vicious Lightning Fiend won, the greater his momentum. Because of the duels, he obtained a lot of resources, causing the number of lightning deities in his hands to increase instead of decreasing, there were already three of them now!
Before he had lightning deities, Vicious Lightning Fiend already had an impressive battle record of fighting rank seven Gu Immortals to a draw.
Now that he had three lightning deities, his battle strength rose even further, surpassing ordinary rank seven Gu Immortals. In his battle record, many rank seven Gu Immortals had lost to him.
With rank six cultivation level. Defeating a rank seven Gu Immortal was a very rare thing. What was especially precious was that Vicious Lightning Fiend defeated rank seven Gu Immortals again and again, he was in the limelight for a while, his sect Myriad Dragon Dock's reputation also rose greatly.
It was to the extent that the whole of Central Continent's Gu Immortal world started to faintly acknowledge Vicious Lightning Fiend as the number one person with rank six battle strength in Central Continent. Some of the Myriad Dragon Dock Elders who were fond of fighting were even more excited. They directly shouted that Vicious Lightning Fiend would be the next Shi Lei, the next Feng Jiuge.
After Vicious Lightning Fiend heard the news … He immediately replied and berated, "Shi Lei is one thing, but Lord Feng Jiuge is not someone I can compare to. Don't say such things in the future! "
In other words, Shi Lei could still challenge him.
Immortal Monkey King Shi Lei was a rank seven Gu Immortal of Combat Immortal Sect, he had outstanding battle strength. However, he was firmly suppressed by Feng Jiuge, unable to turn the tables.
Feng Jiuge, this freak, was hard to come by even in thousands of years. The ten sects of Zhongzhou State had been beaten by him so badly that they could not help but admire and fear him.
He won a series of challenges. This boosted Vicious Lightning Fiend's arrogance, and he began to openly challenge Shi Lei.
Combat Immortal Sect's people were naturally indignant. However, Shi Lei, who had an irritable and direct temperament, strangely maintained his silence.
This instead boosted Myriad Dragon Dock's morale, they felt that Shi Lei had no confidence in dealing with Vicious Lightning Fiend, and was acting like a coward.
Of course, anyone who was slightly familiar with the inside information would know that Vicious Lightning Fiend's challenge was only a probe by Myriad Dragon Dock towards Combat Immortal Sect. Combat Immortal Sect had discovered Starry Sky grotto-heaven, and also discovered Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's dream realm, they had already started to secretly attack it. Because they wanted to draw Gu Immortals' battle strength from all over the place, this huge movement had already been faintly sensed by the other nine sects.
But these secrets were usually only known by Gu Immortals.
Thus, when these elders and disciples of Myriad Dragon Dock saw Fangzheng's group, they were extremely arrogant.
"Oh, it's Crane Gate's people."
"Hehehe, what are you doing here? Are you here to see how your elders will fail? "
"It's no use, our Myriad Dragon Dock's Lord Dragon Chief will definitely be the final victor, there is no doubt about this!"
Myriad Dragon Dock's Gu Masters started mocking and ridiculing the moment they spoke.
The competition between the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent was especially intense, both sides were not on good terms.
Especially when Crane Gate had been weak for a long time, Myriad Dragon Dock's people, who had become stronger, looked down on Crane Gate even more.
Crane Gate's disciples could not help but feel sullen, but they could not retort, they maintained their silence and brushed past Myriad Dragon Dock's people, eventually sitting at their arranged seats.
"Tsk, a bunch of cowards." Someone said in disdain.
Someone even mocked: "Hahaha, as expected of Crane Gate's style."
Crane Gate's people's expressions became even more unsightly.
The spectators saw this and had many doubts, someone asked: "Crane Gate and Myriad Dragon Dock are both part of the ten great ancient sects, why is Myriad Dragon Dock so arrogant?"
Immediately, someone answered: "There are strong and weak sects among the ten great ancient sects. Crane Gate is weaker than Myriad Dragon Dock, this is publicly acknowledged. Besides this, Myriad Dragon Dock's participating Gu Master is too strong, it is that refinement path Gu Master known as Firesmith Dragon Chief! "
"What? Firesmith Dragon Chief is actually Myriad Dragon Dock's Gu Master, isn't he a lone cultivator? "
"Hehe, didn't you see the information dug out by Lightning Information Sect? This Firesmith Dragon Chief violated the sect rules in his early years and was chased out by Myriad Dragon Dock. He is participating in this Refinement Path Convention to obtain a ranking and return to Myriad Dragon Dock! "
"So that's it. It is said that this Firesmith Dragon Chief is already a refinement path grandmaster! Such a person is actually eagerly requesting to return to Myriad Dragon Dock, the rallying power of Central Continent's ten great ancient sects is truly huge … "
Meanwhile, at Crane Gate's side, Fangzheng and the other elders were also quietly discussing.
Fangzheng asked: "I wonder what are the chances of our sect's Elder Yan Tang winning this competition?"
Fangzheng's Gu refinement ability was not good, he barely passed the four questions after going through the training. He successfully registered. But in the end, he was eliminated in the first round.
Fortunately, this was a large competition. This was the most open competition, outsiders were not allowed to watch.
Fangzheng was also an elder of Crane Gate. His status could be said to be noble. This time, Elder Yan Tang was participating in the competition and he had eaten so much food and wine from the other party, he had to come and watch and cheer for Elder Yan Tang.
When Fangzheng asked this, the Crane Gate elder sitting beside him frowned deeply and sighed: "Elder Fangzheng, you know our Elder Yan Tang mainly cultivates fire path, he only cultivates refinement path on the side. As for the other party, Firesmith Dragon Chief. He mainly cultivates refinement path while cultivating fire path on the side. This difference is huge. "
Fangzheng still did not understand, he asked again: "Even so, with Elder Yan Tang's Gu refinement attainment, he should be able to get into the top three."
"Sigh!" The Crane Gate elder shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Elder Fangzheng, you don't understand, after the seventh round of the Refinement Path Convention, the competition after that is a cruel single elimination system. Look at this Demon Expelling Sect competition stage in front of you. Only one Gu Master can win and advance to the next round. "
"What? It's actually like this! "Fangzheng was shocked, after a few breaths of time, he reacted. After all, he had experienced many setbacks, his mind had changed: "Since the opponent is so strong. Then why doesn't Elder Yan Tang go to another competition venue? This Refinement Path Convention does not prohibit participants from moving around. "
"Elder Fangzheng, you are right to think this way. After all, you can advance. Retreating is also a tactical victory. But unfortunately, the other competition locations were also occupied by Gu refinement experts. Moreover … Elder Yan Tang was arranged here. This is also the decision of Crane Gate's higher-ups. "At the end, the Crane Gate elder purposely lowered his voice and whispered.
Fangzheng was shocked, if he still did not understand now, he would be an idiot!
"So the Crane Gate's higher-ups have already abandoned Elder Yan Tang, their goal is to probe Firesmith Dragon Chief's ability?"
In a daze, he thought of his master, Master Tensuru, who had once analyzed this to him — Elder Yan Tang was isolated in Crane Gate, so he invited you to drink, wanting to form a political alliance with you.
"Because he was isolated, he was chosen to be abandoned … Elder Yan Tang must be filled with unwillingness. What if I am abandoned one day? "
Thinking of this, Fangzheng suddenly recalled the painful scene of him being in the blood pool, with blood vines growing all over his body.
Whoosh!
The nightmarish memory surfaced again, Fangzheng's body shook as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"What's wrong?" The elder beside him asked in concern.
"Nothing." Fangzheng wiped his forehead with his hand, and at once, his palm was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
He did not dare to think too much, his heart was flustered and hesitant.
At this time, the elder's voice resounded in his ears: "Participants, enter the arena one by one, the competition is about to begin."
Fangzheng quickly raised his head and looked, only to see over a hundred Gu Masters slowly entering the arena.
Fangzheng quickly found Elder Yan Tang in Crane Gate. The latter was expressionless, but his gaze was filled with indignation and helplessness.
Firesmith Dragon Chief, who was dressed in a red robe, had an arrogant expression as he looked around, not concealing his disdain and contempt towards the surrounding competitors.
"A bunch of weaklings, I will definitely win this round. Quickly start. "Firesmith Dragon Chief did not mind, laughing heartily as he urged Demon Expelling Sect's hosting elder.
The surrounding refinement path Gu Masters, however, did not dare to retort due to Firesmith Dragon Chief's formidable strength. Even Elder Yan Tang in Crane Gate clenched his fists, his face filled with anger, but he remained silent.
"Myriad Dragon Dock will win! Win!! "
"Lord Firesmith Dragon Chief will win!"
Myriad Dragon Dock's group shouted excitedly as if they were injected with chicken blood. Their attitude was arrogant, but the surrounding spectators could only sit quietly and watch this happen.
"Damn it, this is too damn it!" Fangzheng had the temperament of a youngster after all, he gritted his teeth and felt indignant in his heart, "I hate my lack of strength. I really hope someone will appear at this time and defeat this Firesmith Dragon Chief, and beat down the arrogance of these Myriad Dragon Dock people. "
As if responding to the hope in his heart, a figure quietly appeared. At first, he did not attract any attention, but when he stepped onto the arena, countless gazes were immediately cast towards him.
Black robe.
Mask.
Rank five demonic cultivator …
It was Fang Yuan!
Why was he here?
