For a moment, Su Yu's ears were filled with the sound of the chess pieces being put away. It was even more exciting than setting off firecrackers.
Su Yu was speechless.
When he left, all the disciples were still training seriously. He only went over to talk to them for a while. How did everyone become like this?
Were they all possessed?
Su Yu tried to make his expression look more natural. "What are you doing?"
After Jiujiu put down the black chess pieces to form a five-piece, she answered Su Yu while putting away the chess pieces. Her expression was natural as if she was chatting. "We are playing five-in-a-row. Uncle, are you done?"
Jiujiu's calm look gave the other disciples of the Xuantian Sect a lot of courage. It seemed that playing five-in-a-row in front of the Faction Master was not a big deal.
The people who were hurriedly putting away the five-in-a-row immediately calmed down like Jiujiu. Some people even continued to play five-in-a-row while Jiujiu was talking to Su Yu.
Su Yu was speechless.
Su Yu said, "The faction competition is about to begin. Are you playing five-in-a-row?"
When he first experienced the faction competition, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. Now they were playing five-in-a-row?
This time, were they confident that they could win first place, or did they give up because they had no hope of winning first place?
After putting away the chess pieces, Jiujiu waved her hand to put away the chess pieces on the chessboard. Then she said, "I heard the other disciples were nervous, so I suggested playing five-in-a-row to relieve their emotions."
Su Yu was skeptical. "Is that so?"
Did five-in-a-row have such an effect?
However, it seemed that no one was nervous anymore. Could it be that five-in-a-row really had such an effect?
Jiujiu nodded seriously and added, "Uncle, what did you say just now? Why do you look so upset? Did they bully you? Uncle, don't worry. In this competition, we will definitely defeat the other factions. We will let them enter the arena vertically and leave the arena horizontally. "
Su Yu was speechless.
Although there was nothing wrong with what she said, why did it sound like a bandit?
The Xuantian Sect was a righteous sect. Why were their disciples baring their fangs and brandishing their claws like bandits?
Su Yu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and told Jiujiu, "The Celestial Faction's disciples found a strange cave, which was filled with abundant Spiritual Energy. It was ten times more abundant than the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Vein."
Jiujiu was Wuche's disciple and had once cultivated on a spirit vein. She was very clear about how abundant the spiritual energy on a spirit vein was. The spiritual energy in that cave was actually ten times more abundant than the spirit vein?
All the sects on the Grandmist Continent were built on top of spiritual veins, and there were limited spiritual veins on the Grandmist Continent. Moreover, the largest spiritual vein was occupied by the Black Sky Sect. There was no spiritual vein in the world that was denser than the Black Sky Sect's spiritual vein. There was obviously something fishy about that cave.
"There's something wrong with that cave."
Su Yu nodded. "According to the Liuxian Faction, when their disciples cultivate inside, they can advance quickly. But, after three days, their Spiritual Energy will dissipate, and their Spiritual Roots will disappear. Then, they will become ordinary people.
The Liuxian Sect hopes that after the Sect Tournament, we can go with them to investigate. "
Hearing Su Yu's words, Jiujiu subconsciously squinted her eyes.
The spirit vein would only help people cultivate, and it definitely did not have such a strange effect. Moreover, the way in which the spiritual energy increased seemed somewhat familiar. This method was very similar to some of the demonic cultivation techniques that Jiujiu knew of.
Jiujiu suspected that the cave could be a trap set up by a demonic cultivator.
However, to be able to set up such a dense spiritual energy trap, Jiujiu instantly thought of a suspect. That suspect was a demonic cultivator who had already ascended.
Thinking about how the Liuxian Faction was on good terms with the demonic cultivator, and how it was also the Liuxian Faction that discovered the cave, Jiujiu had enough reasons to suspect that the cave could be a trap set up by the Liuxian Faction and the demonic cultivator together.
Du E was extremely narrow-minded. Sacrificing a few of the faction's disciples to capture all the other factions in one fell swoop was a very profitable transaction.
It was something that Du E would do.
After making a mental note of Du E in her heart, Jiujiu agreed with Su Yu. "It's very strange. After the faction tournament, can I go with you?"
That place was so dangerous, and Su Yu's first reaction was to refuse. However, just as the words of refusal were about to come out of his mouth, he suddenly remembered that Jiujiu had been in the Xuantian Sect for so many years. Apart from the Tianxuan Secret Realm, she had never left the Xuantian Sect.
This time, with him and the other faction masters going together, nothing would happen. Thus, he nodded and agreed to let Jiujiu go with him.
However, he did not know how long he would be gone this time. Su Yu was afraid that he would not be able to make it back in time, so he sent a telepathic message to Du E, hoping that he could come to the Liuxian Faction as soon as possible. After the faction tournament, he could escort the remaining disciples back to the Xuantian Sect.
The faction tournament would be held soon.
The faction was divided into three arenas for the outer sanctum disciples, inner sanctum disciples, and direct disciples.
The outer sanctum disciples were the first to compete.
If the outer sanctum disciples performed well and were valued by the faction elders, not only could they be promoted to inner sanctum disciples, but they also had the chance to become direct disciples of the faction elders.
There had been such an example a few hundred years ago. Now, that disciple had become an elder of the faction.
Because of this precedent, the outer sanctum disciples' competition had always been the most exciting. All of the outer sanctum disciples tried their best to defeat each other in order to gain a chance to rise to the top.
However, because the resources of the outer sanctum disciples were limited, all of the disciples' cultivation levels were also very low. In Jiujiu's eyes, these people's competition was simply a competition between rookies.
However, even if they were rookies, there were still stronger rookies.
And that rookie was the outer sanctum disciple of the Xuantian Sect, Meng Che.
Although Meng Che was only at the later stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was very handsome. His white robes and black hair, coupled with his cold and noble expression, were very eye-catching even among the inner sanctum disciples.
Because of Meng Che's handsome looks, even the eldest senior sister, who was not very interested in the inner sanctum's competition, could not help but bring Jiujiu along to cheer for Meng Che.
In the words of the eldest senior sister, Meng Che was not only the most powerful rookies, but also the most good-looking one.
Such an outstanding rookie had to be supported.
Jiujiu, "…"
No matter how many prefixes there were, he was still a rookie.
Meng Che had three spirit roots: water, wood, and earth. None of these three spirit roots were good at fighting. When he fought, he relied entirely on his wood and water spirit roots to drag out the opponent. Only the disciples in the competition now were not that good. If they met a slightly stronger inner sanctum disciple, they would be defeated within ten moves.
Jiujiu glanced at them and lost interest. She picked up the sketchbook she bought on the way and started reading.
Although fiendish cultivators were rampant in the human world, because of the brainwashing words of the Emperor, the commoners' lives were very harmonious. There were even entertainment activities like sketchbooks.
The sketchbook in Jiujiu's hands was a story about a scholar, a beauty, and a female ghost. Although the plot was old-fashioned, it had a different feel to it.
After Jiujiu finished reading the first page, she heard a round of cheers. She looked up and saw that Meng Che had won another round.
Jiujiu looked at the disheveled Meng Che and then looked at her eldest senior sister, who was glowing. The corner of her mouth twitched as she said, "Meng Che can't hold on for much longer."
