The highlight of the Nine Sects Alliance was originally the competition between the Nine Sects on the Winter Solstice.

But the rich and noble sons exchanged their respects, and it was obvious that there was no dark horse to fight the nine sects alone. As long as the monks who had the opportunity to come to the Iron River Valley were basically here today; the monks who could not come also stayed before various magical instruments, waiting for the start of the showdown.

The warm winter sun shines on the mountain walls of the Tie River Valley. The surrounding area of ​​Baijiantai is crowded with people, and many new faces appear. Cheng Jiujiang and Song Chi both came to hear the news. Relying on the identity of Song Chi's inner gate of the Tie Lin Mansion, they occupied a good place on the side and looked forward to it.

Before the time came, the elders of the Nine Sects were arriving one after another.

Shangguan Lingye and a few girls came to the semi-hanging attic on the height of the cliff and sat down.

Jiang Yi and Wu Qingwan had just talked about some topics that were difficult to explain. At this time, their expressions were quite strange. They rarely sat on both sides of the attic, drinking tea without saying a word.

As a maid, Leng Zhu didn't speak, so she couldn't speak nonsense, so she could only look around strangely.

Tang Jingwen stood at the window, rubbing the fluffy and soft dumplings in his hand, looking at the crowds below, and spoke:

"There are so many people, and there are probably many real gods in it."

Shangguan Lingye leaned against the window, his plump buttocks were half sitting on the windowsill, his posture was a little lazy, and responded:

"There are many monks in the Immortal Realm, but those with advanced Taoism are all arranged in the private room. Those who can stand below and watch are actually not considered immortals."

Only those who enter the Wuzhu can control the world and begin to leave the category of mortals, so the monks above the Wuzhu can be called "Immortals"; however, that is just an ordinary person's opinion. In the eyes of the masters of the Nine Sects, even they are just people with higher Taoism.

Tang Jingyun was not very interested in the Tao of practice, and he seemed to understand it but didn't understand it. He looked at the many buildings on the cliff, wanting to see what the real gods looked like.

On the cliff, the attic is connected by a flying corridor. It is true that the elders of the Nine Sects can fly and escape from the earth, but others can also see clearly. They jump up and down in front of fellow Taoists of the same generation, which is a bit unstable, so this occasion is to walk with their feet like Shangguan Lingye.

After Tang Jingyan swept two rounds, his eyes focused on a group of monks who were going up the mountain. Half of the more than ten monks were women, and the leader was a lady in a peach-colored skirt. She dressed among many decent masters and looked like a witch, but it was not very evil when she looked closely.

The elders of the Nine Sects and even Qing Kui are mostly male, and few female cultivators can reach this position, which is naturally eye-catching.

Tang Jingyan glanced at him and asked, "That woman is also an immortal? She is dressed so beautifully."

"Ji~"

Tuanzi nodded and said that he was saying "slutty and slutty".

Shangguan Lingye turned around and glanced at him. Tang Jingwen was talking about Mrs. Hua Zhun in a pink dress with a streamer on her wrist, which really looked a bit gorgeous.

Behind Mrs. Hua Zhu were more than ten direct disciples and sect deacons who came to Taohuatan this time; the leader was a young disciple with a feminine face, wearing a white dress and holding a peach blossom fan. Although he was a man, he looked pretty and was frowning and listening to the teacher's teachings.

Shangguan Lingye wanted to eavesdrop on the tactics, but he couldn't hear them at all, so he explained:

"Mrs. Hua Zhuang of Taohuatan is hundreds of years old. Since the Peach Blossom Lord has hidden himself, she has been managing the house. It is said that she is a peach blossom spirit cultivated by the peach blossom tree, so she likes to wear pink skirts."

Tang Jingyan was stunned: "What does the Empress mean is she a fairy?"

Shangguan Lingye shook his head and said:

"In the path of practice, when you grow up like a human being, you are a human being, according to human rules. There are actually many spiritual creatures that have been cultivated into human form in the nine sects, but they don't like to be regarded as aliens and never indicate their identities, so they are just guessing. Strictly speaking, aren't they also birds?"

Tang Jingwen shook her head quickly. She never thought she was a bird, nor could she do it. She looked at Mrs. Hua Zhu curiously and asked again:

"Will peach trees bloom and bear peaches?"

The dumplings 'chirped' twice, as if saying 'Birds can't lay eggs even if they become humans', but Tang Jingyan bounced them down.

Shangguan Lingye thought about this issue before explaining:

"All spirits can achieve enlightenment, and carp can directly cultivate into divine dragons. In fact, there is no need to become a human-like appearance; becoming a human-like appearance is equivalent to being reborn and practicing according to human-like methods. The trees bloom and bear fruit for reproduction, so they should not produce peaches, and the possibility of having children is greater."

Tang Jingyan nodded in a vague way: "Oh... I feel weird when I marry a tree. If a man picks peach blossoms and eats peaches, in her opinion, is it similar to a monster eating a child?"

"The peach blossom pot specialty is peach blossom brew and fairy peach. There should be no such taboo. I don't know much about the specifics."

Tang Jingwen nodded slightly and wanted to ask about something else, but he heard a warm noise coming from below:

"Look, here we are here!"

"Left Sword Immortal..."

Leng Zhu hurried to the window when she heard the sound, Jiang Yi and Wu Qingwan also got up and squeezed over...

----

The warm sun shines brightly in winter, sprinkling on the heads of thousands of monks outside the Iron Mansion.

Zuo Lingquan was wearing a black robe, with a sword hanging on his waist, and slowly walked across the long avenue between the crowd, and arrived before the Octagon Gate Tower.

When the weak side challenges the power, the people watching the fun will always stand on the weak side and cheer for him at this time.

Today must be a tough battle. Zuo Lingquan's goal is to at least defeat Shang Siming; Wolong and Nine Dragons are rumored to be too powerful, and it is difficult to surpass the three-day special training. Before he recklessly produced the "Sword 2", all he could do was to force Wolong out and see how big the gap was.

With Zuo Lingquan's arrival, the elders of the Nine Sects also appeared one after another.

Nangong Yue was still the referee, sitting in the middle of the high platform, with two more platforms beside him, stacked into a small hill, and a "Heaven Emperor Order". You can find Tiandi City to exchange for a magic weapon.

The elders of the nine sects sat on the high platform, and Li Chongjin and Qiu Fengqing were all among them.

At this moment, the one who most wanted Zuo Lingquan to wear the nine candied haws was the Yunshui Sword Pond that had lost all his face a few days ago.

After all, if Zuo Lingquan loses directly in the second game, it means that Yunshui Sword Pond ranks last in the ninth sect; if Zuo Lingquan can defeat a few more companies, Yunshui Sword Pond will naturally be more balanced in his heart. The distance in his heart is probably - it's not that my family can't beat, but that you can't beat, so no one can say anything about anyone.

Under the gaze of Li Chongjin and others, Zuo Lingquan walked to Situ Zhenhan, handed over the sword in a familiar way, and stood on the anti-cheating formation.

In just one moment, Zuo Lingquan's cultivation level was not improved, and the test results were no different.

As Zuo Lingquan's inspection was over, Taohuatan Hyacinth, holding a peach blossom fan, landed outside the Octagon Gate Tower and walked into the detection formation.

I saw Hyacinth inserting the wooden stick into the ground. The surrounding area turned into quicksand, and four walls rose from the ground and instantly turned into a cage.

There are reliefs of the barbarian bull on the surface of the wall, about meter thick, standing on the earth like a small city, even the top of which quickly closed, surrounding the hyacinth.

Zuo Lingquan rushed to the vicinity and raised his hand and made a sword.

But he was not sure about the defense of the earth wall. He did not waste his true energy and used the "Sword Yi", but used the "Wind Swallowing Remnant Cloud" of Yunshui Sword Pond to tentatively attack.

I heard a sword sound from "Sa".

The ground in front of Zuo Lingquan was lifted up by the sword energy, and the dense sword net followed closely behind and pressed towards the earth wall.

Crack--

In front of everyone, the sword net fell on the relief of the manta, slashing hundreds of fine sword marks more than inches deep, but that's all.

Under the control of Hyacinth, the damage was quickly compensated in an instant and recovered as before in the blink of an eye.

Zuo Lingquan flew away and frowned when he saw this scene. With the defense of the earth wall, he could pierce it with a sword, but he might not seriously injure the hyacinth behind him. If the five swords go down and cannot be killed, he will be defeated with all his might.

The monks watched the monks saw Hyacinth wrapping themselves into a huge iron turtle. The situation was in a stalemate. After a moment of stunned silence, they began to swear:

"Aren't you cheating?!"

"Where is this kind of fight?"

"Come out if you have the ability!"

...

Jiang Yi and others were also furious when they saw it.

Qiu Fengqing frowned, looked at the woman in pink dress not far from the high platform, and spoke:

"Madam Hua Zhuang, isn't Guizong Qingkui's playing style a bit..."

Mrs. Hua Zhu smiled at the corner of her eyes, not caring at all:

"I am not a Taohuatan, and I don't have the habit of fighting head-on when encountering problems. This is not a foul. Can't I fight like this?"

Qiu Fengqing sighed and had nothing to say.

In the sword worship platform, Hyacinth was huddled in the turtle shell, but there was no intention of stalemate with Zuo Lingquan. Seeing that Zuo Lingquan could not break the defense, he began to raise his hand to pinch his fingers.

Zuo Lingquan was holding the sword and trying to break through the wall, but he saw the thunder clouds above his head beginning to condense, and countless blue and purple lightnings flowed through the dark clouds, making a crisp sound of "crackling" sound.

Wood produces fire, and fire produces earth.

The three five elements controlled by Hyacinth are already understood.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Lingquan quickly flew over the river, raised the river water, condensed a semicircular ice slaughter on his head, wrapping himself in it.

"shock!"

A low shout came from the earthen wall, and then thousands of thunder fell, hitting the ice wall, bringing up countless broken ice.

The earth-shaking sounds and lightning were shocked to the watchman's retreat half a step back.

However, the lightning strike lasted for a moment and did not break the ice wall.

Zuo Lingquan maintained the ice wall to block the lightning strike and secretly thought about countermeasures; the earth wall is composed of the five elements of the earth, and in fact, the control can be cut off with the "Demon-Sealing Sword Formation" and then break the wall.

But the Demon-Sealing Sword Formation must be kept against the stronger Shang Siming, and it will be missed when used on Hyacinth, so you still have to be smart.

Hyacinth found that lightning strikes were difficult to break, so they quickly changed their strategies and controlled the ground below, so that the river that was already not wide quickly closed.

The Hyacinth is extremely tricky in position, and is located in the upper reaches of the river, blocking the river and naturally breaking the flow.

Zuo Lingquan controlled the river water to turn into an ice wall to block lightning strike, and needed to continuously replenish the crushed ice wall with water flow. If there was no water source, the ice wall above the head would be consumed soon.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan did not stalemate with Hyacinth anymore. He secretly made a move and used Professor Shangguan’s “Greedy Wolf”, poured his true energy into the river water, and then condensed an ice shield on his arm, leading the river water that was about to be cut off, and rushed directly to the river bank.

The elders of the Nine Sects could see the details clearly. When they saw the unique skill of the inner sect of Tielu Mansion, they frowned slightly and looked at Nangong Yue with some strangeness.

Nangong Yue was also quite surprised, but he didn't say anything.
To be continued...
