Chapter 421: The Return of the Senior Sister

Chapter 421: The Return of the Senior Sister

The inner gate of the Sword Sect, a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

On the straight upward steps halfway up the mountain, two figures were walking side by side towards the Sword Ancestor Hall on the top of the mountain.

It was none other than Xu Xing and Bie Xue Ning.

"Sister, why did you want to go out for a walk today?"

Usually he would go to the Sword Master Hall to look for his senior sister.

Bie Xue Ning is actually a person who doesn't like to move much. When she has nothing to do, she usually stays in the Sword Master Hall, just like Ning Ruo usually likes to stay in the laboratory.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this same "attribute" that she and Ning Ruo had been able to get along well over the years and even built an ascension platform together.

"I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, so I came out."

Simply put, it's 'I am happy to', there is no other reason.

"What's the situation outside the world?" Bie Xue Ning asked casually.

Previously, Junior Brother had re-deployed his sword spirit body and sorted out the situation outside the realm, but the third ascender had never appeared.

"There are a few who meet the requirements, but we still need to examine them."

The realms that have been explored now are only those nearby. It is not easy to find someone like Li Ming, who has a talent and a top-notch mind, and whose own realm is at the level of returning to the void and perfection.

We can find a few people like Chen Yan.

If it were before, maybe they would have been able to "ascend".

But now it is no longer possible.

Xuan took advantage of his years of seclusion to refine the will of heaven and lay out the infinite chaos realm. The surrounding area is almost like a sieve!

Admittedly, his main purpose was to plant the 'Anchor', but maybe he just dropped some idle chess pieces?

For example, the 'Xuan Xiang Tian Gui Hua Cang Ritual' in the Xuan Xiang Realm.

So you can never be too careful.

Bie Xue Ning nodded slightly, and then talked about another matter: "Xian Ning will be returning to the sect soon."

After this she paused before continuing.

"Xiao Ke is now in charge of all matters in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall."

The rotation of the Star Domain Guardians is the responsibility of the Sword Holding Hall, but all arrangements after their return are made by the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

The governor of Dongzhen Realm and the head of Miscellaneous Affairs Hall must show up in person.

Yan Ming is in seclusion, and Jing Hai's personality is not suitable for taking care of the miscellaneous affairs hall.

After discussion between the sect leader, the heads of each hall, and the four elders, it was decided to postpone Li Ke's guarding mission and let her take charge of the affairs of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall first.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Li Ke knew that he was the most suitable candidate, so he did not refuse.

This time the star field's defense change was a coincidence.

Li Ke and Xu Xianning...they have never gotten along well.

However, it hasn't reached the point where they consider each other as rivals.

As for the reason, Li Ke himself is a very strong-willed person. Since the first day he entered the school, he has always wanted to catch up with and surpass Xu Xianning.

But after so many years, the two have competed many times, but Li Ke's goal is still at the stage of "thinking".

But Xu Xianning usually behaves rather dull, and her shortcomings would be pointed out directly after each competition.

Li Ke listened carefully at first, but as his cultivation level gradually improved, he just... listened carefully while getting angry.

Simply put, it's a bit embarrassing.

As the number of times increased, he became a little obsessed and wanted to surpass Xu Xianning in everything.

"Isn't this quite interesting?" Xu Xing said with a smile, "And didn't Jiuyu also want to meet her 'senior sister'?"

"That traitor..."

The traitor said that he was the eldest disciple of the Sword Master lineage, and that meeting the eldest senior sister of the Sword Master lineage was a very serious and important matter.

And she actually thought that in her heart.

"never mind."

Just as my junior brother said, these things are also very interesting.

While chatting and laughing, the two had already arrived in front of the Sword Ancestor Hall.

Without stopping at all, he walked straight in.

Bie Xue Ning glanced around casually, originally just to take a look to see if there were any changes, but when she saw the 'e-sports room', she stayed for a while longer.

So he looked at Xu Xing.

"It was the work of my traitorous disciple and the suggestion of my senior sister's traitorous disciple." Xu Xing said.

Yes, my junior fellow apprentice also has a "traitor".

Bie Xue Ning chuckled and said, "At least, Junior Brother's 'rebellious disciple' listens to you very much."

Unlike his 'rebel', who weighs 100 kilograms, has 40 kilograms of rebelliousness, and is 60 kilograms of abstraction.

Speaking of which, no matter what's going on on the spiritual web, she usually has a calm and aloof demeanor that doesn't allow strangers to approach her.

The chuckle at this moment was like the first melting of winter snow, making the entire Sword Ancestor Hall a little brighter.

Xu Xing paused, and then said: "Although he is a little naughty, Jiuyu is very hardworking after all. My traitor is much lazier."

Although Jiuyu has many goals, such as showing off in front of others, becoming the leader of the sect, etc...

But the reason why she is practicing diligently now is not only to achieve these goals, but also to make herself less powerless when facing some choices or accidents...

It's quite good to realize this at such a young age.

In short, after the accident in which Bie Xue Ning and Xu Xing fell out of the Taixuan Realm together, she has truly matured a lot.

As they talked and walked, the two arrived at the deepest part of the Sword Ancestor Hall.

Looking around, you can see a hazy and magnificent halo flowing, and tiny dots of light flickering on and off, like stardust rotating around the Milky Way.

A nebula seemed to be contained in the incredibly vast space.

There is a bright red light inside, just like the main star, harmonious and yet sharp.

It seemed as if it had an invisible pulling force, pulling the colorful light spots around it, as if they were constantly rotating around it like planets.

Thousands?

Thousands?

The light spots flickered, making it difficult to tell how many there were.

At first glance, it may seem chaotic, but if you stop and look carefully, you will find that there is a pattern in it.

The core is the red light in the middle.

In essence alone, this 'nebula' is even more amazing than the real sea of ​​stars!

This is a node of the 'Taixuan Immortal Network' built on the basis of the power of true immortals. The red light in the middle is even better than the immortal power he had used to show off to Yuan in the Righteous Alliance.

The star sand seeping out from the cracks in the jade bricks flowed silently under her feet. Bie Xue stared at the reflected nebulae in the room, analyzing the rules governing their operation.

As for this scene?

It may be difficult for ordinary people to see her, but she is a true immortal.

If you want, you can hold the sea of ​​stars in your arms.

"Yes, this 'Tai Xuan Xian Net' is indeed sophisticated."

Her junior brother had previously told her how to create the nodes of the Taixuan Immortal Network.

But she was not good at this kind of creative thing after all. There was still a certain gap between seeing it with her own eyes and just listening to the method and deducing it on her own.

"Ning Ruo thinks it's too sophisticated, so she wants to make it simpler."

"Oh?" "One move affects the whole body. The purer and simpler it is, the more difficult it is to reverse the impact." Xu Xing also looked at the red light in the middle. "After the test of this Immortal Sect Competition, perhaps we can figure out the direction of improvement."

"Ah."

"..."

For a moment, there was silence, with only the sound of stardust flowing in the room.

Xu Xing looked at Bie Xue Ning who had an indifferent expression, and suddenly felt that she looked better when she smiled.

……

……

Two days later, there was only one week left before the Immortal Sect Competition officially began.

The leaders of the major immortal sects had obtained all the information about the Xuanxiang Realm before, but after much discussion, they finally chose a rather simple and crude set of rules.

The venue for this competition is a complete world!

The situation is complicated, and overly complicated rules may in turn limit the performance of the contestants...

At the same time, with the end of the selection competition, the list of participants from each sect was also announced on the spiritual network.

There are three groups: Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul and God Transformation.

Each group and each sect has fifteen people, all of whom are selected based on their age and realm. They are all geniuses among geniuses.

Except for the Jindan and Yuanying stages where there were many new faces, the vast majority of participants in the Huashen stage group were old faces from the previous session, with only a few newcomers.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Ruohan did not participate in the previous Immortal Sect Competition, so he is considered a stranger.

At the same time as the list was announced, all the major immortal sects, the Righteous Alliance and even some other forces also opened their handicaps, with different odds.

This is a rare, relatively fair gamble that relies entirely on luck.

Nowadays, most practitioners know a thing or two about divination.

Even if you are not good at it, you can still spend money to find someone to tell your fortune on the Internet. Online fortune-telling business has been very popular in recent years.

This makes the gambling industry very uncomfortable.

As for causing trouble for those fortune tellers?
The two largest online divination brands, one is backed by Tai Shang Dao Zong, and the other is backed by Zheng Dao Alliance.

But the Immortal Sect Competition is different. It involves the seven major immortal sects, and whoever counts will be unlucky.

If you rely purely on luck, at most you will get to know some information about the contestants and have a better chance of success.

However, because the competition screen this year is not open to the public and there are not as many options as in previous years, you can only buy a ranking.

Even so, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm. Who doesn't have the dream of getting rich overnight?
Just when the popularity of the Immortal Sect Competition was at its highest.

The inner sect of the Sword Sect.

Li Ke was waiting quietly with a deputy hall master in Tongxuan realm and several deacons of the miscellaneous hall.

Of course Chi Jiuyu was also there, and he also brought Zhang Yunlu along.

Today she specially wore the Sword Sect disciple uniform, which she rarely wore on weekdays. She held her own natal sword in her hand. The style of the scabbard matched the sword very well. She also got a feather crown from somewhere and tied up her hair.

You know what, although he is usually very abstract, he now looks like a dashing swordsman, quite presentable.

Oh shit!

This ungrateful fisherman!

Li Ke cursed inwardly. She really wanted to hang up this pretentious guy and give him a good beating!
I've been so nice to her, but I've never seen her so serious!

No!

When this is over, I'll find a reason to hang her up and beat her up!
It just so happens that she is going to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition, so it’s time for her to “train”.

Chi Jiuyu didn't know at this time that the 'Master of Hidden Needle Sword' was full of ill will towards her. She was holding her mobile phone and reading the announcement jointly issued by the seven major immortal sects.

As a super-qualified player who made an "exception" to enter the God Transformation group this time, her avatar is unique.

Unlike her usual smiling face, she looked quite serious in the announcement, and she even imitated Bie Xue Ning and pretended to be a little indifferent.

So handsome!
The most important thing is that other people’s avatars are just simple avatars, but her avatar has a pair of golden wings on the edge, indicating her unique identity.

"Xiao Yunlu, look at these wings! Aren't they beautiful?"

Chi Jiuyu happily held up his cell phone and showed off in front of Zhang Yunlu.

Zhang Yunlu took a look and said, "It looks good."

"..."

She smacked her lips, feeling that Zhang Yunlu was being perfunctory, but she knew that Zhang Yunlu was not being perfunctory.

In fact, the pair of golden wings next to the avatar were added by her when she personally went to see the sect leader and asked him to do so.

emm...

Although Junior Master-Uncle was always thinking about his position, this request was harmless after all, and it could also promote the Sword Sect to a certain extent.

So Du Ruoheng agreed.

The reward equivalent to the first place in the Nascent Soul group was given. It was such a small matter that the other sect leaders had no reason to disagree.

"Sister, as a contestant who has entered the God Transformation group with super qualifications, it seems that there are extra rewards?" Zhang Yunlu finally gave her the opportunity to continue showing off.

"Alas, after all, according to the original group division, I should go to the Nascent Soul group, but then there would be no suspense in the competition." Chi Jiuyu sighed, "There is no other way, we can only go to the Spiritual Transformation group to give them a chance."

This dead fish is really good at pretending!

Li Ke had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually keeping an eye on the two of them.

"By the way, Xiao Yunlu, have you placed any bets?"

Chi Jiuyu clicked on the "Gambling" interface of the Longxiang Qingtian Sect, which also had the avatars of contestants from various sects.

"This is a great opportunity to make some money!"

"Want to buy from Senior Sister?" Zhang Yunlu also took out her cell phone.

However, Chi Jiuyu's answer surprised her: "Oh no! Why buy me? It's a complete loss of money. I can't beat those old guys."

Her answer was quite direct, which surprised Zhang Yunlu.

Is this still my senior sister?

"I don't even buy one myself. If I want to buy one, I'll buy one from the Nascent Soul group. I'll recommend a few to you."

Without a clear self-awareness, how could she have completed so many tasks?

As the first in the Yuanying group in the previous session, and a landslide first, she has a relatively clear understanding of the strength of the contestants in the Yuanying group.

I can't say it's completely accurate, but it's easy to estimate.

"it is good."

Just as Zhang Yunlu was listening to Chi Jiuyu analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the contestants in the Nascent Soul group, Li Ke's voice was heard from the side.

"coming."

coming?

Chi Jiuyu paused, put away his phone immediately, signaled with his eyes, and looked up at the sky.

Boom-!
With a dull sound, a big hole was torn open in the clouds, and the sky suddenly turned dark red.

A torrent of terrifying aura swept down, but stopped in an instant. Everything in the void seemed to be drained, making people suffocate.

The omnipresent and erratic spiritual energy was completely suppressed at this moment, and dyed into scarlet color.

A strong smell of blood filled every corner. Among all the people present, except Li Ke, everyone's magic power, soul, and even the way they practiced were suppressed to the point of almost disappearing.

Even the deputy hall master at the Tongxuan level was no exception.

boom!
Like a meteorite with a long tail of flame, it broke through the sky and crashed down in the direction of the few people! (End of this chapter)
