C608 Yaxuan in the Middle of the Lake
The man in white immediately cupped his hands and said. Although he was angry with Ling Jian and Ling Yun, he didn't show it at this moment.
Zhang Ling Er nodded slowly when she saw this. Then, she looked at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man in white and said coldly, "As long as no one provokes me, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble."
After Zhang Ling Er received their vote, she looked at the middle-aged servant.
As long as they could work together in the battle of the pageant, that would be enough. As for the Ghost God Abyss, even as the number one person in the Zhang Family's younger generation, she didn't dare to say that she could still have such power.
Now, these people listened to her because she needed her power to enter the Ghost God Abyss.
However, if they were to enter the Ghost God Abyss, no one would choose to selfishly contribute in front of many opportunities.
The middle-aged servant quickly brought two carriages over.
Zhang Ling Er and the only remaining woman in the scene boarded the first carriage. As for the rest, they were all in the first carriage.
The two carriages quickly left the Zhang Clan Estate and headed towards the region where the grand event was held.
Along the way, the two carriages didn't stop at all. They didn't stop at all.
But even so, the expression of the white-clothed middle-aged man on the way was still somewhat unsightly.
This journey could be said to be torturous for him.
Sitting opposite him were Ling Jian and Ling Yun.
At this moment, everyone in the huge carriage was silent. It was as if they had formed some sort of tacit understanding. A faintly discernible feeling of depression spread from within.
"Hmph, luckily the Zhang family's eldest daughter is here tonight. Otherwise, I will definitely make you pay the price for your arrogance." After an unknown period of silence, the middle-aged man looked at the Ling Jian duo, and his voice was indescribably cold.
"Is that so?" Ling Jian's gaze was cold as he locked onto the middle-aged man. He smiled and said, "Since you think you're very powerful, why don't you attack now? Let's fight."
"Do you want to die?" The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled indifferently and said, "You seem to intentionally plot against me to attack so that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family can expel me from the quota. I'm sorry, I'm not that scheming."
"That's right. You don't dare to make a move, so why do you have to be so disgusting with your mouth full of shit?" Ling Jian said with a faint smile.
However, just as he finished speaking, it caused the man's expression to become extremely gloomy.
"You're courting death." The man found it somewhat difficult to speak. His face was flushed red, and the blood traces in his eyes could not help but climb up.
Although he was only an external helper recruited by the Zhang Family, his reputation in the Tai Huang Heaven City wasn't low either. When had he ever suffered from this kind of bird's breath?
"You should be aware that you were invited by the Zhang Family. Otherwise, I will kill you today." Ling Jian Han said.
His voice was indifferent, and his tone was unusually calm. It was as if killing someone was like eating and drinking to him.
However, the middle-aged man felt even more uncomfortable at this moment. He was waiting for his eyes to be fixed on Ling Jian. This little beast had actually insulted him in front of so many people. This was absolutely a great humiliation.
Inside the carriage, the other cultivators looked at the two of them as if it had nothing to do with them.
Although they were all people of the Zhang Clan who had participated in the pageant, they actually did not have much contact with each other.
Furthermore, they all had their own thoughts, and they were all fighting against each other.
It was obvious that they were not fully interested in the battle between the Zhang Clan. After all, if the Zhang Clan failed to secure the first place, none of them would have the chance to enter it.
If they managed to secure the last place, they would only have two spots, thus the qualifications of the Ghost God Abyss would not fall onto them.
If Ling Jian, Ling Yun, and the middle-aged man were all eliminated now, even if they ended up in third place, their chances would increase significantly.
However, the middle-aged man did not make a move. Regarding this point, the surrounding cultivators were not surprised at all. After all, they were all here for the purpose of entering the Ghost God Abyss. That was why they had helped the Zhang Clan. If they were to be eliminated now... They wouldn't have come.
"Kid, we'll meet in the Ghost God Abyss." The middle-aged man looked coldly at Ling Jian.
He had already made up his mind to enter the Ghost God Abyss and kill Ling Jian if there was an opportunity.
Ling Jian also looked at the middle-aged man coldly. He also had an indescribable killing intent deep within his heart towards the middle-aged man's unconcealed killing intent.
If not for the Heavenly Dao Treasure within the Ghost God Abyss, he could have killed this man right now. However, he also knew that it was not the time yet.
In the end, both parties did not engage in any hot energy collisions. However, the cultivators in the carriage knew that if they left the group... The two sides would definitely not let this matter rest, and there would definitely be a battle between the two of them.
At that time, it would not matter who lived or died.
...
The meeting was held in an exquisite pavilion in the east side of the city.
This pavilion covered an extremely vast area and did not belong to the three great clans. However, once someone was willing to pay a high price, this place would become a temporary owner.
Tonight, this place was destined to be the territory of the Ouyang Clan.
Similarly, this was also the location where the grand gathering would be held.
Very quickly, the Zhang Clan's carriage arrived in front of Ya Xuan.
As the number one person in the Zhang Clan's younger generation, it was naturally very easy for Zhang Ling Er to enter Ya Xuan. She didn't even need an invitation card.
However, others couldn't. They could only obediently take out the invitation card and carry out layers of inspection before entering.
With Zhang Ling Er in the lead, everyone entered Ya Xuan. After walking through a long corridor and turning a corner, the scene in front of them instantly became boundless.
It wasn't a building that occupied a huge area, but a lake that occupied an extremely large area.
Within this lake, there was an exquisite elegant pavilion. Looking from afar, one could see that it was enormous. At this moment, within the elegant pavilion in the lake, the lights were waning and human figures flickered. Obviously, this was the place where the grand event was held.
The pavilion wasn't very far from the lake, but after everyone walked in, just now, they could sense an indescribable pressure. Suddenly, a pressure was transmitted from Ya Xuan, who was at the heart of the lake. It caused them to feel a peak Heavenly Spirit Dao. They were unable to directly ascend to Ya Xuan.
This should be the origin of Ya Xuan. It was said that this was once a place for a Heavenly Dao expert to recuperate. It was just that this Heavenly Dao Realm expert perished later on, but his aura remained. Even if it was later treated as a place for a banquet, no one chose to leap into it.
On one hand, it was out of respect for Ya Xuan's original owner, and on the other hand, it was a test for every single person that came here.
"Everyone, follow me into Ya Xuan."
Zhang Ling Er stood at the front, and at this moment, her imposing manner brushed past her face. A strand of black hair fluttered in the wind. Before he finished his words, her figure leaped up and flew out like an immortal. He landed lightly on the surface of the lake, but it was not over yet. After her figure landed on the surface of the lake, it was as though she had gently tapped on the water. She charged towards Ya Xuan, who was at the center of the lake.
The green-clothed girl beside her naturally didn't dare to be disappointed, and she quickly rushed towards the center of the lake. However, no matter if it was movement technique or speed, they couldn't be compared with Zhang Ling Er. Obviously, in this aspect, it also showed that her strength was inferior to Zhang Ling Er's.
When the remaining eight people saw that the two girls had already moved forward and forth, they naturally couldn't continue to give in. Among them, the middle-aged man was the most. He was the first to step forward, and his speed was as fast as lightning. At the same time, it also showed that his strength was indeed extraordinary.
The rest of them were all deceiving themselves and using their own methods. It was as if they were all showing off.
Very quickly, everyone had already entered Ya Xuan. Although they were different in speed, they were still intact in the end. Clearly, although this Ya Xuan possessed some pressure, it was not to the extent that he was powerful to the point of making them all suffer.
Zhang Ling Er didn't turn around. When she heard the sound of the wind behind her, she prepared to step into Ya Xuan.
But at this moment, the cultivators that walked over behind her suddenly cried out in alarm.
Zhang Ling Er's originally calm expression was slightly stunned. She muttered in her heart, Could it be that there are still people who haven't come over? While she was thinking, she had already turned around. Then, her willowy eyebrows fiercely knitted together.
What did she see?
On the surface of the lake, there were still two figures rushing over. They were Ling Jian and Ling Yun.
The two of them were merely walking on the water. Compared to what they had done previously, it could be said that they were extremely well-behaved.
"Haha, this is too funny. They are actually walking on the water." When the middle-aged man saw this, he immediately became big and small. He hated Ling Jian and Ling Jian the most. At this moment, when he saw an opportunity, he immediately began to gossip.
To them, even though the lake's center, Ya Xuan, was the place where Heavenly Dao experts had cultivated, it was still somewhat impossible to make a Heavenly Dao expert look bad.
However, this point could also display the combat strength of everyone. This was probably what the other two great clans thought as well. And the reason why they had put in so much effort to show themselves earlier was not to let others see... It was to show their strength.
And they were all members of the Zhang Clan. Naturally, it was impossible for them to be too ordinary because of the lake heart. Otherwise, when they fought with the other two clans, they would be the first to lose their imposing manner.
After a moment, Ling Jian and Zhang Xuan also ascended to Ya Xuan.
"The two of you are a little slow. Let's make the best use of our time and head over." Zhang Ling Er said with a slight frown when she saw the two of them land.
Without waiting for the others to react, she led the way.
Everyone's gaze swept across the two of them and then withdrew. However, there was a trace of playfulness on their faces. Apparently, they felt that the two of them were in the limelight.
However, neither Ling Jian nor Ling Yun had any expression on their faces. They all followed after her.
There were many figures in Ya Xuan. They were the members of the Ouyang Family and the Lei Family. At this moment, they were all gathered together. The Ouyang Family was the host. Naturally, they couldn't be late, and the Lei Family had always been full of risks. Naturally, it was impossible for them to end up in the end.
Seeing the arrival of the Zhang Clan members, Sister Ying from the two great clans came over.
"Ling-er, you guys are a little slow this time." In the Ouyang Clan, a young man spoke.
The young man had an exceptionally handsome appearance. He wore a long green robe and had an extraordinary bearing. His name was Ouyang Hai, and he was the leader of the Ouyang Clan this time around.
"Other than a few accidents on the way, that's all." Zhang Ling Er spoke in an indifferent tone.
Although the Zhang Family and Ouyang Family were both from the Alchemy School, they were two completely different bloodlines.
She and Ouyang Hai were about the same age and strength, but the relationship between the two of them was similarly not very good.
At this moment, when she heard that it was Ouyang Hai who spoke, her tone was also stiff and cold.
"Oh? There was actually an accident? Why are there so many accidents in your Zhang family now?" The young man called Ouyang Hai raised his eyebrows. After which, his eyes landed on the group of people from the Zhang clan. However, his gaze soon turned to Ling Jian and Apothecary Ling Yun, who were standing behind the crowd.
He had some understanding of the other people because they were all from the Tai Huang Heaven City. Hence, he had some understanding of their strength.
However, Ling Jian and Ling Yun, these two unfamiliar faces, caused Ouyang Hai's expression to change slightly.
He had always been cautious and cautious when doing things. He was even more vigilant when it came to things that he did not know much about.
"Who are the two of them?" Ouyang Hai frowned and asked Zhang Ling Er.
As one of the three sides of the competition, although this was the first time Ouyang Hai had come into contact with these people from the Zhang Clan, however, he had already known the power of these people a long time ago. He knew them very well, but regarding Ling Jian and Ling Yun... He's a complete stranger.
This was normal. After all, even Zhang Ling Er, who was leading the team, only found out about the change tonight. No matter how fast the Ouyang Family inquired about the news, it definitely wouldn't be this fast.
However, he knew that if he asked this, Zhang Ling Er would definitely keep her mouth shut.
Thus, he immediately scanned the two of them with his senses. When he realized that Ling Yun was only at the First Heaven of the Heavenly Spirit Path, a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Tsk tsk, it's only the First Heaven of the Heavenly Spirit Path. Could it be that there really isn't anyone in the Zhang Family who can do it this time?" Ouyang Hai couldn't help but laugh strangely. His gaze was extremely cold. If that was the case, the Zhang Clan might as well just send out their numbers. If that was the case, it would be more dignified.
After all, the participants of the grand event this time had all reached the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path. As for these cultivators, they would be f * cking deciding on the number of spots to enter the Ghost God Abyss.
"It seems like your Zhang Family is aware of your own limitations. I didn't expect you to be prepared to give up so early." Ouyang Hai continued to tease them. Regarding this point, even the people from the Lei Family who had come with him couldn't help but laugh.
Other than them, all the other cultivators who saw Ling Yun started laughing. Their gazes became unusually playful.
"The Zhang Family really knows how to choose people this time. I didn't expect that even a Heavenly Spirit Realm Level 1 cultivator would come."
"Just this kind of power? Could it be that it's also for the sake of participating in the battle?"
"If that's the case, we might as well just admit defeat. After all, if that's the case, it wouldn't be shameful to lose."
"Hahaha, this is too interesting."
...
The surrounding cultivators were all laughing out loud, as if they were watching a show.
Hearing the unbridled discussions of these cultivators, no matter how well-mannered Zhang Ling Er was, at this moment, her expression was extremely gloomy.
She was a little annoyed by Ling Yun's cultivators.
However, even so, she didn't have any intention of acting up. After all, as the representative of the Zhang Family, Ling Yun represented the Zhang Family this time. If she were to face Ling Yun's accusations in front of so many people, she would probably end up as an even bigger joke.
"Our Zhang Family naturally has our Zhang Family's requirements for choosing people. We don't need your concern." Zhang Ling Er snorted coldly and looked at Ouyang Hai with an unfriendly gaze.
"Haha, of course I know that. However, I was just joking with you just now. However, your Zhang family really made me feel surprised this time." Ouyang Hai said with a smile.
Despite this, the surrounding cultivators were able to enter this place. Those who weren't experienced were all laughing to themselves. Ouyang Hai didn't have the slightest sincerity in his words. He was just putting on a perfunctory act and mocking them even more.
The cultivators behind Zhang Ling Er also had a slight change in expression.
However, only the middle-aged man had a strange expression on his face. When he saw Ling Jian and Zhang Ling being looked down upon by the Ouyang Clan, for some unknown reason, his heart inexplicably burned with excitement.
Even though both of them belonged to the Zhang Clan, however... The conflict between him and Ling Jian was rather huge. If he still couldn't be excited about the two of them under such circumstances... Would he have to see the two of them slap the faces of the Lei and Ouyang Families before laughing?
"Ah! Why are it the two of you?" At that instant, a cry of alarm could be heard from behind Ouyang Hai.
Ouyang Hai's eyebrows immediately raised. Even though he had a strong mental strength, he could not help but be frightened by the words that came from behind him.
Damn it, who would like to be shocked?
In the next instant, he turned his gaze behind him and saw a young man walking up. His eyes were fixed on Ling Jian and Ouyang Hai.
"Little Cruel, do you know the two of them?" When Ouyang Hai saw that it was Ouyang Jie behind him, he did not get angry. Instead, he asked.
"I met them yesterday at the city gates." Ouyang Jie naturally knew who Ling Jian and Ling Jian were.
"That's right. Even though this person's cultivation base was only at the first level of the Heavenly Spirit Path, his true combat strength wasn't inferior to the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path. That's why he's very strong. " Ouyang Jie added.
He had fought with Ling Yun at the city gate. He naturally knew about Ling Yun's combat strength. If the two of them were to fight to the death, he wouldn't have killed him with a stone fist.
"Little Jie, you fought with them?" When he heard this, Ouyang Hai's expression turned serious. He was still mocking Ling Yun earlier. However, he had never expected that someone would come and slap his face so quickly. Furthermore... The key was that this person was a member of the Ouyang Family.
"Naturally, it's a battle of life and death, but it's not a battle of life and death. However, his strength is something that Muyong suspects, so our Ouyang Clan must be careful of this person." Ouyang Jie spoke.
He had no intention of hiding anything from them.
Even though this would affect his reputation, as a genius of the Ouyang Clan, the high education he received was not something that ordinary people could compare to. At this moment, the most important thing was to consider the overall situation.2
