Chapter 181 Aristocratic Family Competition

Chapter 181 Aristocratic Family Competition
Yue Qiuchan estimated the time. According to the plan, Zuo Qiuming should have left the outer city smoothly, so there was no need for him to delay any longer. He sneered, clasped his hands together, and all the energy in his body surged out, condensing into a crescent moon. Under the reflection of the crescent moon, Yue Qiuchan's body disappeared out of thin air.

The three wild beasts attacked empty-handed.

The Qingyang County Magistrate's face changed, and he quickly threw out a magic mirror. After he cast a spell into the mirror, the mirror lit up with a bright light with a hum. The magic mirror turned around the inner city, but did not find any trace of Yue Qiuchan.

He actually let the person escape alive.

The Qingyang County Magistrate was furious.

He immediately issued an order that no one in the inner or outer city was allowed to step out of the house, whether it was day or night!
The massive search lasted for nearly half a month.

The entire county was searched back and forth more than ten times.

But still no trace of the Moon Cicada was found.

Obviously.

Yue Qiuchan has left the county town.

There is an old cave halfway up Pangu Mountain, a hundred miles away from the county seat.

In the cave.

A man is sitting cross-legged in meditation.

This person was Yue Qiuchan who escaped from Qingyang County.

meet as planned.

After Zuo Qiuming comes out of the county town, the three of them will meet here.

but.

Half a month has passed.

There is no news about Zuo Qiuming at all:
"What's going on? Could it be that Zuo Qiuming escaped on his own after learning the location of the Yuanshi mine?"

Owns a mineral stone vein.

After that, there will be resources for cultivation, and there will be no need to live on the edge of a knife in the Shadow Gate.

According to Zuo Qiuming's temperament.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

When searching for the memory of Li Huwei, the traitor of Qingyang County City Guard, the other party had never come into contact with Zuo Qiuming, but in the courtyard, he smelled the remaining breath of Zuo Qiuming:
"traitor!"

Yue Qiuchan cursed softly.

at this time.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of wind at his waist.

A spell was cast on the lit communication jade talisman, and a cold voice came:
"Leng Wutian's soul tablet has been shattered, and Zuo Qiuming has not returned to the Shadow Gate."

In the shadow gate.

Only the two-star shadow guards are qualified to leave behind the soul card.

of course.

Yue Qiuchan didn't believe that Zuo Qiuming had fallen into the hands of the imperial court. If that were true, the imperial court would have already dispatched troops to the location of the Yuanshi mine. However, the gates of Qingyang County had been closed for the past half month, and they were still searching for them.

This can be seen.

It must be the traitor Zuo Qiuming who wanted to take the Yuanshi mine for himself:
"You better not get caught by me!"

Qingyang County was closed for half a month.

Fu Shaoping was therefore forced to stay in the inn. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he followed the order of the Qingyang County Magistrate and did not step out of the room for half a month. During this time, the Qingyang County Magistrate came once and asked them how they discovered the massacre at the Mo Mansion.

Fu Shaoping and Pi Xiu had already agreed on their statements.

The most important thing is.

When County Magistrate Cui led the team to capture Zuo Qiuming, he did not bring Fu Shaoping and the other two with him.

and.

After County Magistrate Cui arrested Leng Wutian, he could not get anything out of him even after torturing him in the Demon Suppression Tower. Fu Shaoping and the other two were even less aware of the situation. The Qingyang County Magistrate only asked a few questions as a routine. He knew that Fu Shaoping had a friendship with the Qinglian County Lady, so he did not make things too difficult for him.

Pi Xiu was frightened for a long time.

Wait until the city gates open.

After finally embarking on the journey home, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Brother, we should not get involved in these big cases in the future. If we are not careful, we may lose our lives."

After returning to Qingniu Town.

Yihongyuan has already opened and is doing very well.

Qingniufang City is also back on track.

After Fu Shaoping returned to Fu's Villa, he announced that he would go into seclusion for cultivation. He came out a month later and went to Huainan Prefecture with his tenth grandfather Fu Zixu to participate in the competition of the top ten families in Huainan.

These days.

I searched everywhere for Zuo Qiuming in Yingmen but couldn't find him.

The final clue fell on Fu Shaoping, because the two of them had reported the case before, but after a month of waiting, Pi Xiu did not show any abnormality, and Fu Shaoping never came out after entering the secret room. All signs showed that the two of them had no idea of ​​the specific address of the Yuanshi mine.

Follow Fu Shaoping to Huainan Prefecture.

Yue Qiuchan could only give up and told his subordinates:
"From now on, you don't have to wait in Fu's Villa anymore, and you don't have to keep an eye on that Pi Xiu."

They had other cases to follow up, so they could only say that the Yuanshi mine was not meant for them and they missed the opportunity.

Long distance teleportation array.

When Fu Shaoping was teleported again, his condition was much better than the first time. Because of the improvement of his mental strength, he did not feel any discomfort.

The person guarding the teleportation hall happened to be from the Cui family.

The death of County Magistrate Cui.

The Cui family sent people to investigate and found out that everything was caused by Fu Shaoping's report to the police. The Cui family became more and more unfriendly towards the Fu family.

and.

County Magistrate Cui is the son of Cui Tianming, who guards the Teleportation Hall.

Therefore.

Fu Shaoping appeared in the teleportation array.

Cui Tianming's face immediately darkened, and he stared at Fu Shaoping with resentment. If it weren't for his tenth grandfather Fu Zixu who was beside him, he would have been unable to resist teaching Fu Shaoping a lesson first.

Wait for Fu Shaoping to leave the teleportation hall.

Cui Tianming immediately picked up the communication jade talisman and said quickly:
"Qiu Min, Fu Shaoping has arrived. Remember, in the aristocratic family competition, you must not let him leave alive, otherwise your father will not be able to rest in peace in his grave!"

Fu Shaoping just stepped out of the teleportation hall.

A handsome man with a handsome face came up to them immediately, smiling brightly:
"Grandpa Ten, Shao Ping, you've worked hard on your journey. Welcome home!"

The person who came was Fu Shaoqing, the third-generation seed player of the Fu family. He was a few years older than Fu Shaoping and was from the second branch of the family. His great-grandfather was the only Yuandan realm expert among the Fu family’s ancestors.

The last time Fu Shaoping returned to his homeland.

limited time.

In addition, Fu Shaoqing was away on a family mission, so this was the first time the two met.

Fu Shaoqing said enthusiastically:
"Shao Ping, I have heard a lot about your great achievements. Now that I have seen you in person, I can see that you are truly extraordinary. I believe that in the upcoming Aristocratic Family Competition, you will be able to lead Shao Hong and me to achieve excellent results!"

"Brother Shaoqing, thank you for your praise."

Fu Shaoping spoke modestly.

Fu Shaoqing was born in the second branch of the prosperous family. He thought that the other party was somewhat rebellious, but he never expected that he was a modest gentleman who made people feel warm and at ease. As soon as he opened his mouth, he took the initiative to give up the captain's position in the next family competition.

So far.

My impression of Fu Shaoqing.

He still felt good. Tenth Grandfather Fu Zixu threw out the wine gourd and wanted to take them back to the clan's home, Luofeng Mountain.

Fu Shaoqing asked:
"Shaoping, I heard that you came and went in a hurry last time and didn't even visit Huainan Prefecture. Do you want to go around the prefecture first?"

"No, let's return to our tribe first."

Before leaving, Fu Shaoping had asked his tenth grandfather Fu Zixu to communicate with the clan leader to confirm the date of his return. The clan leader should be waiting in the clan now. After all, the aristocratic family competition is coming soon. It is obviously very important to know what rules will be adopted and who will participate this time.

He has to get hold of this information first.

Also.

He hadn't seen Pan'er and Ningning for several months and missed them very much.

I don’t know how they are doing in the tribe and whether they have adapted.

along the way.

Fu Shaoqing talked freely.

but.

Unlike Pi Xiu who was a chatterbox and only cared about his own complaints, Fu Shaoqing obviously adjusted the topic according to Fu Shaoping's conversation and reaction. Once he felt that Fu Shaoping was not interested, he smoothly moved to the next topic. Although he was a few years older than Fu Shaoping, his conversation was more comfortable than some patriarchs of small families.

Conversation room.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Luofeng Mountain, the home of the Fu family.

Tenth Grandfather Fu Zixu's wine gourd fell in front of the door of the conference hall. Inside the hall, Clan Leader Fu and a group of elders who were discussing the matter immediately stopped talking. Tenth Grandfather Fu Zixu took out his identity jade talisman and entered a spell, and the protective light shield of the conference hall dissipated instantly.

Tenth Grandfather Fu Zixu brought Fu Shaoping and Fu Shaoqing into the hall.

inside the hall.

A young girl in a light green robe nodded slightly to Fu Shaoping. She was standing behind the fifth elder. She was obviously Fu Shaohong from the fifth house, another seed disciple of the third generation of the Fu family.

Except for her.

There were no other young people in the hall.

Chief Fu said to Tenth Grandfather Fu Zixu:
"Uncle Shi, you must have been exhausted from the journey. Please take a seat. Shaoping, come over here."

Patriarch Fu waved to Fu Shaoping.

This action immediately changed the expressions of the elders in the hall.

Generally speaking.

Only the candidate for clan leader, commonly known as the young clan leader, can stand beside the incumbent clan leader.

Fu Shaoqing, who was standing behind the second elder, froze in smile, but recovered in an instant.

Manchus from top to bottom.

The most popular candidate for the young clan leader is Fu Shaoqing, but even so, Fu Shaoqing has never been able to stand by the clan leader's side.

The second elder, who was his grandfather, was obviously unhappy.

His spiritual sense swept over Fu Shaoping.

The body was shocked:
"Shao Ping, have you already reached the peak of the Earthly Realm?"

Last time we met.

The other party had only entered the Earthly Realm not long ago.

Even if their clan helped to prepare the Earthly Evil Qi, the refining of Earthly Evil Qi was not as simple as the refining of Heavenly and Earthly Qi, and the higher the quality, the higher the difficulty of refining. The other party actually reached the peak of the Earthly Yuan Realm in just three or four months, which was really astonishing.

This statement came out.

The elders immediately focused their spiritual awareness on Fu Shaoping.

"This"

It really is the pinnacle of the Earth Element Realm.

In other words.

As long as he was equipped with auxiliary spiritual medicine to refine a portion of Tiangang Qi, Fu Shaoping would be able to enter the Tianyuan realm and be on par with them, but the other party was only in his early twenties. If the other party really entered the Tianyuan realm, he would be the youngest Tianyuan realm expert in their Fu family in hundreds of years.

The elders looked at each other and were surprised and happy.

No wonder the patriarch wanted to recruit him to his side.

Not only did the other party successfully marry into the Ye family on his own, but he also discovered an ancient cultivator's cave in Qingniu Town and brought back a puppetry inheritance stone tablet for the clan. Both of these events were great achievements and had a great impact on the development of the Fu clan.

nowadays.

The other party's talent in cultivation is also so outstanding.

It's really surprising.

Chief Fu was very satisfied with everyone's shock, because he kept in touch with Fu Zixu and was aware of Fu Shaoping's situation. After Fu Shaoping stood still, Chief Fu spoke:
"The Aristocratic Family Competition will be held in ten days."

“Different from the past”

"This year's competition will be even bigger, both in terms of the number of participants and the schedule."

"The entire competition schedule has been tentatively decided to be divided into the preliminary round, semi-finals and finals. However, this time the competition questions were not set by our ten great families, but were entrusted to the elders of Qingyang Sect. Therefore, the past experience can only be used as a reference for us."

"The reason why we went to so much trouble to invite the elders of Qingyang Sect"

"It's because it involves the once-a-century resource allocation for the Huainan Prefecture's shops, the Chuncheng Mountains, and the Xiaodongtian Ruins!"

"Although the scale of previous competitions was not small, it is nothing compared to this one."

"If our Fu family can achieve good results in this competition, then in the next hundred years, our cultivation resources will be much more sufficient, and our family will be able to produce a few more Yuandan realm masters, or even Yuanying great cultivators above that!"

Fu Shaoping's ears twitched.

Above the Yuandan is the Yuanying!
This was the first time he heard of it.

but.

As far as he knew, Nascent Soul cultivators at this level rarely appeared in public, and there were only one or two in each city.

The Nascent Soul realm is still too far away for him. He is currently still in the Diyuan realm. He will wait until he reaches the Yuandan realm.

but.

It turned out that this time's Aristocratic Family Competition was a distribution of benefits that only happens once every hundred years. This was really beyond his expectations. It can be seen that the competition in this Aristocratic Family Competition is more intense than before.

Patriarch Fu glanced at Fu Shaoping, Fu Shaoqing, and Fu Shaohong one by one:
"This is about the century-long plan of the Fu family. Remember, the three of you represent the Fu family. In the competition, there is no question of who will come first. You must move forward hand in hand. Do you understand?!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

Fu Shaoping and the other two responded loudly.

Patriarch Fu nodded slightly in satisfaction, and after giving a few words of warning, he changed the subject and said:
"In this family competition, the clan will distribute rewards based on your performance. If you can enter the top ten, you will be rewarded with a first-class Tiangang Qi, the top five will be rewarded with a second-class Tiangang Qi, the top three will be rewarded with a third-class Tiangang Qi, and if you can win the championship, you will be rewarded with a fifth-class Tiangang Qi!!"

Tiangang Qi is more scarce than Disha Qi.

First class is extremely rare.

They dared not even think about the fifth-grade quality of Tiangang Qi.

Therefore.

This statement came out.

Fu Shaoping and the other two were visibly excited.

Chief Fu continued to throw out a major bomb:
"In addition to the rewards from the clan, the top ten families will also distribute rewards to the top ten contestants. The generosity of the rewards is definitely not comparable to what our clan can offer. So, even if it is for your own sake, you must go all out in this competition and seize this rare opportunity."

Everyone in the clan can give out rewards of Tiangang Qi.

The rewards given by the ten great families together are unimaginable.

Fu Shaoping's heart was pounding. It would be great if he could make it into the top ten while keeping his life safe.
