Chapter 694: The Qualifier
The Jiuzhou Empire
Capital City
In the arena.
Royal Family Grandstand
This time, because it was a qualifier between the top sects of Dongxuan and the top sects, many people had come to the palace. There were nine eunuchs of the same rank as You Rujin, and each of them had two or three young princes or princesses by their side. In front of these thirty people, there was an old eunuch. His face was wrinkled and drooped, as if he was about to enter a coffin. He looked lifeless.
This person was the first-rank gold-robed eunuch in the palace who was closest to the Jiuzhou Emperor, Fu Hu.
Beside him stood a few people of different ages. These people were all princes who were ranked in the top eight. Some of them were already very old, but as long as the Jiuzhou Emperor did not abdicate, they would still be princes even if they were a thousand years old.
Apart from that, the entire battle arena had been surrounded by the constables of the Black Jail Sect, in order to prevent any sudden incidents.
In the audience, aside from the commoners of Capital City, there were also more than a hundred local nobles. There were thousands of people, occupying the best grandstands.
Ye Mingyu stood on the grandstand of the Black Jail Sect, with Chief Constable Yang Ben beside him. Previously, because of the matter between Ning Qi and Yuan Yi, Ye Mingyu had caused Yang Ben to lose face. After he returned, he had been severely punished. Therefore, when he saw Ning Qi in the grandstand of the Cloud Rising Clan, a bone-deep killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Fu Hu glanced at Yang Ben indifferently. Their gazes happened to meet in the air. There seemed to be a tearing sound, and a bolt of lightning flashed.
Then, Fu Hu turned his head with a smile and looked at You Rujin. His eyes moved slightly.
You Rujin was shocked, and a trace of unease rose in her heart. Could it be that Eunuch Fu Hu had seen through her remolding of her body? Oh, if I had known, I would have handed in my resignation earlier!
"Eunuch You, after this, I will go to your residence."
Fu Hu smiled faintly.
The other second-rank silver-robed eunuchs all looked confused when they heard this. At the same time, a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes. They did not know why Eunuch Fu Hu would suddenly want to go to You Rujin's residence. Could it be that You Rujin had done something great recently?
But they did not seem to have heard of it.
You Rujin smiled bitterly in her heart. It seemed that things had really been exposed. Otherwise, why would Fu Hu suddenly want to go to his mansion? There were no treasures in his mansion …
Thinking of this, You Rujin secretly glanced at Ning Qi and began to plan.
On the viewing platform of the Cloud Rising Sect.
Nu Tao glanced at the empty seats not far away and sneered at Deng Tong, "The guys from the Jade Pill Sect are always the last to enter. Even the first and second ranked Heavenly Star Sect and Golden Spirit Valley don't have such arrogance."
Deng Tong chuckled, "Let him be."
After saying that, he looked at the Sky Star Sect and the Golden Spirit Valley not far away. When the two leaders saw Deng Tong looking at them, they smiled and nodded politely.
Looking at the inner sect disciples behind them, there were at least three peak Dou Huangs who had entered the ninth Life and Death Stage. Deng Tong sighed in his heart. The strength of the other party's sect was indeed much stronger than that of the Cloud Rising Sect.
Thinking of this, Deng Tong looked to the other side. That was where the Luminous Jing Sect was. The Luminous Jing Sect could be said to be the Cloud Rising Sect's fellow sufferers. In every ranking competition, the two would take turns to sit in the last place. Deng Tong's eyes suddenly became incomparably serious. This was because he saw with his own eyes that behind the leader of the Luminous Jing Sect, Jiang Feiliu, stood a peak Dou Huang who had entered the ninth Life and Death Stage!
Other than him, the remaining inner sect disciples' cultivation was similar to that of the Cloud Rising Sect. The strongest among them was only a peak Dou Huang who had entered the seventh Life and Death Stage.
"Deng Tong, this time, your Cloud Rising Sect will be sitting in the last place again."
Jiang Feiliu smiled and transmitted his voice to Deng Tong.
"Elder Jiang, I remember that your Luminous Jing Sect doesn't even have a peak Dou Huang who has entered the eighth Life and Death Stage. Where did you find this little guy?"
Deng Tong transmitted his voice with a face full of suspicion.
"Haha, why do you care? Anyway, he is now an inner sect disciple of my Luminous Jing Sect. "
Jiang Feiliu transmitted his voice proudly.
Deng Tong knew that the other party had obviously found external help. The peak Dou Huang who had entered the ninth Life and Death Stage seemed to be much older than the average inner sect disciple. His aptitude should not be too good. However, he had cultivated for a long time and did not seem to be in the top 100 of the Dragon Rankings.
"Oh, this is really a two-pronged attack. The bet with the Jade Pill Sect and the competition with the Luminous Jing Sect, sigh …"
Deng Tong sighed again in his heart.
As the time approached, the disciples of the Jade Pill Sect, led by Huang Haitao, finally arrived at the arena. They sat in the spectator's stand beside the Cloud Rising Sect.
"Hahaha, the timing is just right. Deng Tong, have you prepared the fifty thousand Middle Spiritual Crystals?"
Huang Haitao laughed loudly at Deng Tong.
Deng Tong's face turned green. "We'll talk about it after the competition. Elder Huang, it is still too early to talk about this."
"Oh, that's true. I have to make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, your Cloud Rising Sect disciples will not be able to meet the disciples of my Jade Pill Sect."
Huang Haitao mocked.
According to the rules of the ranking competition, the sects that were ranked at the bottom would compete first and then fight their way up. The Jade Pill Sect was ranked third. If they wanted to meet the disciples of the Jade Pill Sect, they had to defeat thirty-two sects in a row. That was why Huang Haitao said this.
"It's about time. Cloud Rising Sect, Luminous Jing Sect, are you ready?"
Elder Zhou Tianxing, who was ranked first among the top thirty-six sects, stood up with a smile and looked at Deng Tong and Jiang Feiliu.
"The Luminous Jing Sect is ready."
Jiang Feiliu said in a clear voice.
Deng Tong took a deep breath and nodded. "The Cloud Rising Sect is also ready."
"In that case, the two of you can send your disciples to the arena. According to the rules, two out of three matches will win."
Zhou Tianxing smiled slightly.
Just as he finished speaking, the peak Dou Huang, who was behind Jiang Feiliu, appeared in the arena.
"Eh? A peak Dou Huang who has entered the ninth stage of life and death? "
"The Luminous Jing Sect actually has such an inner disciple. Could he be outside help?"
"Looking at this young man's appearance, I don't have any impression of him. He shouldn't be in the top hundred of the Dragon Ranking. I estimate that he is over sixty years old!"
Everyone knew that the ranking of the Hundred Xiao Clan took into account the factors of age and training time. The younger one was, the higher one's cultivation was, and the higher one's ranking would be.
Some old Dou Huangs who had stayed at the ninth stage of life and death for over a hundred years didn't even have the qualifications to be ranked on the Dragon Ranking. This person should be one of them.
"I wonder who the Cloud Rising Sect will send."
The sect leader of the Celestial Phoenix Sect thought to herself in a corner of the viewing platform. Beside him sat two Dou Zong level elders, ten three to nine star Dou Huangs, and dozens of Dou Wang level disciples. Qin Yao, Ling Yan, Ling Mu, and Ling Xiao were also among these dozens of Dou Wangs.
