Everyone had just arrived at this place.
They were surrounded by an empty stone plaza. A huge tortoise that was more than ten meters long and several meters tall was lying in a corner. It looked extraordinary.
On top of the tortoise's head was a huge "Li" character.
Shu Xian stood at the side of the giant tortoise's legs, facing off against the many sects.
Although they were all from the lower three grades sects, the chief disciples were at least at the four-vein level. Moreover, the chief disciples here were all experts from their respective districts.
There were five entrances to the plaza, and each entrance corresponded to the disciples from the five districts.
On Lu Sheng's side, Huang Sicheng walked in front, followed by Li Xiuying and Lu Sheng. After them were the disciples from the other sects.
There were four groups of people at the other four entrances. Even Peacock Mountain's own team was not standing with Shu Xian.
"What's going on?" Huang Sicheng frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him.
A middle-aged man among the Taoist guides replied cautiously.
"The people who arrived earlier had some disputes due to some quarrels. Peacock Mountain's Lord Shu Xian had just broken through, but for some reason, she was isolated by her own sect. Then, it turned into an internal fight, and this fight spread to the other sects …"
Huang Sicheng was secretly happy when he heard this. His gaze wandered, and he quickly found Shen Youyou's figure in the crowd.
Last time, it was this woman who beat him back as soon as he left the district. If there was a chance this time, he would definitely take revenge.
As they were talking, there was trouble on the other side.
A slovenly Taoist with disheveled hair slowly walked out.
"So, Shu Xian, you also broke through. What a coincidence, let's spar and see if your Peacock Secret Technique is stronger or my Sunblade Secret Technique is stronger."
"Yuan Ba?" The wind around Shu Xian's body quickly stopped. Her expression became slightly serious. Clearly, the other party's agreement gave her quite a bit of pressure.
"Make your move, don't dawdle!" Yuan Ba pulled out a copper bell hammer from behind him and pounced towards Shu Xian.
"Wind!!"
Three feathers on Shu Xian's back suddenly lit up, and the violent wind turned into a grey tornado that ruthlessly rushed towards Yuan Ba.
"Bang!!"
The tornado was smashed by Yuan Ba's hammer, and his forward momentum was also blocked. Shu Xian took the opportunity to pull away.
The two of them started fighting without saying a word. The people from the other sects were also happy to watch the show.
But after a while, someone from the Heaven Lotus Sect came forward to make peace, and the two of them reluctantly stopped.
The Heaven Lotus Sect had specially sent out a Daoist, who stood in the middle of the square and loudly introduced the rules of the next round.
"The rules this time are still the same." The Daoist said loudly, "To calculate the number of wins, there will be people who will count. Everyone can choose to go alone or gather together. Whether it was a group battle or a one-on-one battle, it was all up to them. The outcome of the battle would be decided by the entire sect, unless the sect itself admitted defeat or all of its members were defeated. Otherwise, it wouldn't count as a loss. Each sect can have a maximum of three participants. "
The change in the rules caused a slight commotion among the many sects. Some people began to stare maliciously at the opposing sects that they had a grudge against, while others did not care because of their high cultivation. Instead, they looked at the opponents of the same level that they had always valued.
Lu Sheng, He Xiangzi, Li Xiuying, and the others were together. Lu Sheng acted as the field protector, guarding Li Xiuying all the way through the challenges.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuying won consecutively and won two rounds. The opponents seemed to have no desire to continue fighting. When they met her, they casually dealt with her a few times and then admitted defeat.
And Li Xiuying was not surprised at all, as if she had expected it.
"Don't be surprised," Yue Shengya smiled beside Lu Sheng, "This is the battle that our Eldest Senior Sister is truly good at. Even before the battle started, Eldest Senior Sister had already defeated many of her opponents. "
Lu Sheng thought about it again. Wasn't it the same as him? Victory or defeat didn't have to be decided by force.
The sects quickly began to challenge their opponents. After Li Xiuying won all the battles, Lu Sheng took He Xiangzi to the side and sat down, quietly watching the battles.
He did not challenge the other sects, and the other sects would not bother him for no reason. Saving his strength to deal with the challenges later was the most important thing.
One by one, the first seats of the sects began to fight. The irrelevant people all left the field, leaving only the three strongest people of each sect.
At this time, Shu Xian and Yuan Ba were fighting again. Within a certain range around the two, there was a large amount of empty space.
The fierce wind and the copper hammer whistled, constantly colliding. Looking from afar, it felt very powerful, and the surrounding people did not dare to approach.
"We're just going to fight like this?" He Xiangzi asked dumbly. Because she had never been out of the district, she was also confused. She looked at the chaotic scene and did not know what to do.
Lu Sheng took out a bottle of sour plum soup from her backpack, opened it, and drank a mouthful.
"With the people of the Heaven Lotus Sect recording it, you can challenge any opponent you like. The rules are already messy and rough, so naturally it will be a chaotic battle, "he replied casually.
They found a shady place at the edge of the square to sit down and rest, drinking the sour plum soup while watching the battle as if they were watching a show.
It was strange. Everyone here was obviously strong, so when they fought, it should be like lightning striking the ground, with a huge momentum and shocking destructive power.
But when the people in front of them fought, the momentum was much weaker than usual.
The giant turtle lying on the square was slightly emitting a distorted invisible wave, suppressing the power of everyone's secret techniques.
Even if a powerful secret technique hit the ground, the degree of damage caused by the floor tiles was far less than the usual damage caused outside.
Lu Sheng glanced at the giant turtle thoughtfully.
The two sat for a long time before someone finally came to challenge them.
"Zhao Cheng from the Great Yin Yang Sect, here to challenge the two from the Prime Devil Sect." The person who came was a young boy of about 15 or 16 years old. He looked smart, and his aura was relatively weak. Obviously, he wanted to challenge Lu Sheng and He Xiangzi to win.
Or rather, he was sent by the sect behind him to test the waters.
Hearing this, He Xiangzi immediately stood up.
"So it's the Little King of Hell from the Great Cloud Sect, Zhao Cheng. My name is He Xiangzi, and I'm here to …"
Before she could finish, she was pressed back down by Lu Sheng.
"We admit defeat," Lu Sheng said to Zhao Cheng seriously.
"Ah?" Zhao Cheng was about to draw his saber and fight, but he didn't expect Lu Sheng to say this. He was instantly dumbfounded.
The other party said that he admitted defeat so casually. This didn't seem like the attitude of someone who came to participate in the competition at all. Which sect didn't use all kinds of methods to make their own sects reach a higher rank? But Lu Sheng was different.
"This … alright …" He was helpless. What else could he do since the other party had already admitted defeat? He could only retreat.
If he admitted defeat five times, he would automatically lose the right to challenge others. His goal of winning would also be achieved.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Lu … this …" He Xiangzi didn't understand what Lu Sheng was thinking at all. She was confused.
Lu Sheng sighed. He knew that He Xiangzi didn't understand the situation the Prime Devil Sect was in.
The problem the Prime Devil Sect faced now wasn't the ranking. In fact, after entering the second stage, the number of wins they had already surpassed the previous Prime Devil Sect. They were no longer at the bottom, and could easily stay at the 60th place.
Because at this stage, Huang Sicheng and the others who came with them couldn't win more than a few matches. Their main force would be crippled by the first and second seats of other sects. This caused their ranking to be no different from the first stage.
So it didn't make a difference whether they fought or not.
What Lu Sheng was really worried about were the Wandering Gods who secretly attacked them. After losing three Snake level experts in the Prime Devil Sect, it would be strange if they didn't go crazy. They definitely wouldn't let them go easily.
As for the ranking, as long as the inheritance wasn't cut off, they could just fight for it in the future. It didn't matter.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, we just need to find Bai Qingtang and hold her back to fulfill our promise to Li Xiuying."
Lu Sheng looked at the people from Ice Valley.
Li Xiuying and Yue Shengya both met their real opponents. They weren't the kind of opponents that had been arranged outside the arena, but the real experts of the sects who attacked them.
Both girls were in a tough battle. It seemed that defeat was only a matter of time.
Lu Sheng looked past them and at the people from Peacock Mountain.
Peacock Mountain's clothing was very special. Most of the disciples were female, and they all wore purple with a peacock fan-like pattern on their back.
Bai Qingtang's characteristics were very obvious. She was the most beautiful woman in the whole Peacock Mountain. Apart from Eldest Apprentice Sister Shu Xian, she was also the strongest woman.
Lu Sheng looked at her from afar, confirmed her identity, and stood up.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, wait here and don't run around. If someone comes to challenge you, just admit defeat. There's no point in fighting. Those who can come here are all stronger than you. There are also many who are weaker than you. "
He Xiangzi was a little helpless, but she also understood that Lu Sheng was right, so she could only nod.
"Okay, then where are you going, Junior Apprentice Brother?"
"Me? I'm going to try and see if I can complete the deal with Li Xiuying. "Lu Sheng stretched his body and walked toward Peacock Mountain.
"Eh? Wait, I'm going too! "He Xiangzi hurriedly stood up and followed.
…
At this time, outside the square, in the pavilions of Jasper Palace, the higher floors were filled with disciples of the lower three grades sects who came to watch the battle.
The people here were all sects that had lost in the division battle.
Inside one of the pavilions, by the window.
"Look over there!" Chen Yunxiang suddenly exclaimed. Zhan Kongning and Zhan Hongsheng were attracted by her and looked in the direction she was pointing.
"Isn't that … Prime Devil Sect's Junior Apprentice Brother Lu Sheng?" Zhan Kongning said in surprise.
"That arrogant Lu Sheng who thinks he's so great?" Zhan Hongsheng was also shocked. "He could actually get out of the division and enter the second stage?"
She felt that it was unbelievable. Even she and her brother were eliminated.
They were in the same division as Yuan Ba. Yuan Ba was a top expert at the same level as Shu Xian, and he had just recently broken through to Seventh Vein.
He was not someone a Sixth Vein expert like Zhan Kongning could fight against.
There was a huge difference between Sixth Vein and Seventh Vein in the Realm of Bind. Whether it was the toxicity of the Dark Devil Power, or the increase in overall attributes such as speed and strength, there was a qualitative difference.
"Did I see wrongly?" Zhan Hongsheng was a little unwilling.
Zhan Kongning smiled bitterly. "I didn't see wrongly. It really is Brother Lu." He was also in disbelief. "Maybe … maybe the sects in the divisions that the Prime Devil Sect was assigned to are weaker …"
"That's true. I know that the notoriously weak Ice Valley is in the same division as them." Chen Yunxiang nodded.
She and Shu Xian were in the same division, but they were eliminated by that woman immediately. There was no luck.
"Maybe the other divisions were all defeated by the strongest, and they just happened to avoid picking up the scraps?" Zhan Hongsheng said sourly.
"Maybe … it's starting. Brother Lu is going to make his move. He seems to be going to Peacock Mountain," Zhan Kongning said in a low voice.
