C1390 Replace the Quota
chapter 1390. Position replacement
The competition had begun. Immediately, a white-clothed youth stood up from his seat. He held a slender sword in his hand and leapt into the air, landing on the central battle stage, the Advanced Immortal Emperor realm.
"It's Shao Yi, Son of God of the Shao family's Gu Family."
Some of the old men from Immortal Domain immediately recognized the youth. The Shao family was also an ancient family in Immortal Domain. Their foundation wasn't weak, but they had been living in seclusion all year round, and rarely came out.
"Who do you want to challenge?" Old Man asked.
Shao Yi looked around the crowd and then stopped at a corner. Among the three Intermediate Immortal Emperor present today, Chu Yan, Chi Ao, and Bu Liuxing all looked at Chu Yan.
Sensing Shao Yi's gaze, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they laughed coldly in their hearts, but they didn't find it strange. The so-called competition was to fight for the spots. If one challenged the weakest person and obtained the best spot, he or she would have made such a choice.
"You." Shao Yi pointed his willow sword at Chu Yan and said indifferently.
Chu Yan's eyes also became a little strange. Was he... being treated like a pushover?
But just as Chu Yan was about to get up, Nanyu Nichang's voice faintly sounded, "The person I invited does not accept the challenge."
"This..." At the banquet, everyone revealed a surprised expression. He did not accept the challenge?
Although according to the rules, the princess and the prince could decide whether the person they invited would accept the challenge or not. However, it had been said before that there would not be any princes who would refuse.
This time, entering the Ancient Capital was related to the awakening of the bloodline. Who would not want the person who had teamed up with them to become stronger?
Shao Yi stood on the stage, feeling slightly awkward. However, Nanyu Nichang had already made it clear that the person she invited would not accept the challenge. If he insisted, it would be rude. He simply nodded and continued to circle the crowd.
Chi Ao and Bu Liuxing were also Intermediate Immortal Emperor, but Bu Liuxing and Chu Yan were also Intermediate Immortal Emperor. Naturally, they could not be on the same side.
As for Chi Ao, due to his identity as a major power outside of the Heavenly God Mountain Domain, Shao Yi didn't challenge him.
"You." In the end, Shao Yi chose one of the Eighth Prince's assistants, Expert. He came from the Nine Heaven Immortal Dynasty, and his name was Lin Yu, an advanced Immortal Sovereign.
After being selected by Shao Yi, immortal Emperor Lin Yu's facial expression changed dramatically. There were many advanced Immortal Emperors present, but they chose him instead. Why?
Obviously, they felt that he was weak.
Immortal Emperor Lin Yu didn't waste any time. He stood up and stepped onto the fighting stage. "You will regret your choice."
"Perhaps."
Shao Yi said calmly. His character was quite good. Immediately after, he waved his hand and the slender willow sword unfolded. There was actually a vague dragon transformation intent lingering on his left and right. The clouds curled up and whistled unceasingly.
"His Power of the Heavens and the Earth is very strong." Looking at the fighting stage, Chu Yan sighed in praise, then looked at Nanyu Nichang. "Actually... you don't have to be like this. He might not be able to defeat me. Even if you win, you will have an even stronger general."
"There's no need, I choose you Besides strength, I also trust you. I don't trust anyone else. In the Ancient Capital, strength was crucial. However, if you couldn't trust each other, and had to pay attention to the people around you... It's not worth it." Nanyu Nichang finished speaking and lightly laughed, "Furthermore, I feel that I did not do anything wrong."
Chu Yan smiled bitterly and did not say much. He continued to watch on the stage.
At this time, both sides had already clashed. Shao Yi was using a sword, and he was using a light path. Lin Yu was the exact opposite. He was using a Zhanmadao, and it was an imperial soldier. It was extremely powerful.
"Can a Divine Weapon be used in the competition?" Chu Yan asked in surprise.
"Because the Ancient Capital doesn't limit Divine Weapons, there are no rules for this competition. The strength of a Divine Weapon is also a part of one's strength." Nanyu Nichang said in a soft voice. Chu Yan nodded. This was the truth, and he was now confident. If he could use a Divine Weapon, he would have more trump cards.
As a last resort, with the Evil sword and the bloodline unsealing, his combat strength would increase by another level.
"Shao Yi's sword technique is very tricky, and even strange. Although Lin Yu has a Divine Weapon in his hand, he can't catch Shao Yi's figure, so he's suppressed." Chu Yan said. Everyone nodded, and as expected, Lin Yu was defeated within a hundred moves.
"I apologize for offending you." Shao Yi slightly cupped his hands towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu's face turned even more ashen. Not only was he challenged, he was also defeated. This was simply a disgrace.
When he thought of this, he turned around and looked at the Eighth Prince. The one who could protect him now was... Although he could fight for the spot in the competition, only the Eighth Prince could fight for it. However, just like Nanyu Nichang, if the Eighth Prince did not want to be replaced, it was fine too.
However, the Eighth Prince's eyes were calm as he said with a faint smile. "Lin Yu, cultivate well. Even if you can't help me, I will remember your kindness today and promise you a lot."
"There's no need for that." Lin Yu coldly harrumphed. He didn't have the face to stay in the face of defeat. He turned around and left the banquet. No one tried to stop him.
"Immortal Emperor Shao Yi. In the future, we will be in the same camp. Please take care of us." The Eighth Prince stood up to welcome him.
"You're welcome, eighth Prince." Shao Yi bowed and said.
"So straightforward." Chu Yan said with a bitter smile. Since he was the one who invited them, their relationship was naturally extraordinary. Now that they had lost the battle, he would just give up.
Mo Wen nodded, "It's normal. In the hearts of some princes... They might be looking forward to someone challenging them. After all, they wanted to get rid of the weak ones. Leaving Expert behind will only bring some face. However, it was still better than finding out that they were not strong enough after entering the Ancient Capital. It was better if he didn't have the strength to do so. Entering the Ancient Capital was a matter of life and death. Friendship and the like, sometimes, in the eyes of these people... It's not worth much."
"Indeed." Chu Yan nodded in agreement. At this moment, he understood why the maid had said that no prince would refuse to participate in the competition. This was indeed a good opportunity.
As for Nichang, she looked at Nan Yu. She was probably the only one.
Shao Yi had successfully won the first battle. It was a good start. After that, many Expert went up the stage to challenge. Each of them had their own wins and losses. To be more precise, it was a bit more of a loss.
After all, no one who was invited was weak. Even if they were challenged, they would usually win.
However, there were still some people who were in the same shoes. For example, there was a half-demon Expert who was a descendant of the Snow Ape and the human cultivator. He was born with divine strength, and his strength could break through mountains and rivers, replacing the Ninth Prince's help in the battle.
There was also an Immortal Emperor who specialized in music, and with the music as the formation, he defeated the Thirteenth Prince's assistance.
This was basically the end of the competition. Apart from that, there were also some internal fights. According to the rules that Chu Yan understood, even those who were invited could continue to challenge and replace the Ninth Prince.
For example, the Thirteenth Prince only had Intermediate Immortal Emperor. If Combatant wasn't satisfied with his strength, he could challenge some of the princes' Combatant.
"Dong!" At this moment, another Expert stepped out. He was one of the invitees. He was the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty, an Immortal Emperor, and Jin Yu.
The one who invited Jin Yu was the Sixth Prince, who was also an advanced Immortal Emperor. Logically speaking, there was no need for him to challenge the Sixth Prince. However, he understood that there were many opportunities in the Ancient Capital this time. Without Top Grade Immortal Emperor, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything. Therefore, he stepped forward.
Therefore, if he wanted to replace the Sixth Prince, he would need to choose one of the four Top Grade Immortal Emperor present.
Among them were First Prince, Third Prince, Fifth Prince, and Nanyu Nichang.
First Prince had invited Zi Balong, and the remaining two spots were also Top Grade Immortal Emperor. If he wanted to win, there was not much chance of him winning.
As for the other three, Fifth Prince had invited purple pupil, and Zi Lingshan had invited Top Grade Immortal Emperor as well.
If it was Third Prince, he had some chances. Although the Qi Family was invited, three of them were invited as well. However, Qi Luan was a high grade Immortal Sovereign, and the remaining two were Top Grade Immortal Emperor.
Of course, Nanyu Nichang's side was the easiest to challenge. Without Top Grade Immortal Emperor, there would only be one high grade Immortal Sovereign, and the remaining two were Intermediate Immortal Emperor.
"Is Princess Nichang really not going to participate? The Ancient Capital is not a small place. Why not give someone else a chance, and also give yourself a chance?" Jin Yu said.
"No need." Nanyu Nichang said coldly.
Chu Yan didn't care about the challenge. Except for Top Grade Immortal Emperor, he didn't really care about the challenge. As for Top Grade Immortal Emperor, if he fought with all his might, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fight. However, Nanyu Nichang's attitude was firm, so he naturally wouldn't say anything. There was no need for him to waste his energy here.
"Got it." Jin Yu said with pity. He had the greatest confidence in challenging Nanyu Nichang. If he didn't fight now, only Qi Luan would be left.
Jin Yu turned around and looked at Qi Luan.
Right at this moment, Third Prince said in a flat tone. "The person I invite will not participate in the challenge."
"This..." Everyone blinked, but they were not as surprised as Nanyu Nichang, because this was within reason. The Qi Family was too special. If it was challenged, the Nanyu Immortal Dynasty might not agree.2
Jin Yu frowned. Third Prince did not participate, so only First Prince and Fifth Prince were left. The people they invited were all Top Grade Immortal Emperor.
It was impossible for Top Grade Immortal Emperor to win this battle, but challenging the other princes wasn't necessarily better than challenging the Sixth Prince. This made him feel like throwing a rock at his own feet.
"Third Prince." Right at this moment, Qi Luan spoke slowly. Everyone looked at him curiously, including Third Prince.
"Since he wants to challenge me, just accept it."
"Young master Qi..."
"[No worries.]" Qi Luan shook his head with a smile, "Since I'm here as your assistant, I'm sure I have the strength to fight you. If I don't even dare to fight you, my trip to the Ancient Capital will only bring you trouble."
"This..."
"That's it." Qi Luan stood up and said in a low voice, "I can't hide behind someone like that, can I? It wouldn't be nice to hear it even if it was spread out."
Immediately, countless people looked at Chu Yan. If it wasn't for Qi Luan, no one would have thought too much about it. However, after comparing them, the difference was obvious.
At this moment, not only the fighting stage, even the elders and officials of Nanyu Immortal Dynasty started to look at Chu Yan with unfriendly gazes.
Qi Luan could choose not to fight, but for Third Prince's sake, he chose to fight. What about Chu Yan? Not for Princess Nichang at all?
"It's a pity. Princess Nichang was the one with the best talent and the highest chance of awakening her bloodline this time. She was even better than First Prince, but looking at the person who invited her, she seemed to want to destroy her own future." Some ministers shook their heads in pity.
The key was that these people's discussions were not sound transmissions. Even Chu Yan could hear them and could only smile bitterly.
"Ignore them." Nanyu Nichang said calmly. Chu Yan shrugged his shoulders. It was Bu Liuxing who curled his lips. Fourth brother was very unhappy now. In the central region, he was also a figure that could shake the heavens and earth. He was actually looked down upon here.
