C610 Late
Taihuang City.
It was located in the center of the eastern part of Taihuang Heavenly City.
It was an ancient tall building.
This tall building was far taller than any other building. It was the location of the Alchemy Ancestor. Unlike the other cities in the Desolate Heaven, the Desolate Heaven City was the most prosperous city in the Desolate Heaven. The Alchemy Ancestor did not only have one in the east side of the city. The Alchemy Ancestor also existed in the other three districts.
The selection of the spots for the grand event was not held in Ya Xuan, but was held by the Alchemy Ancestor.
At this moment, in an empty area in front of the Alchemy Ancestor, a huge and incomparable platform appeared in everyone's sight. This platform was naturally the venue for the grand event competition.
Apart from the platform, the Alchemy Ancestor had also set up a viewing area that could be provided by the three great families. At this moment, not far to the west of the platform... There was a place that was higher than the platform, which was further divided into three areas. In front of each of these three regions, there were neatly arranged and decorated luxurious stone chairs. This region was naturally the place where the people from the three great clans were watching the battle.
After all, even though the rules of the competition were clear, the final outcome would require time to decide. This process would definitely have a long wait.
At that time, the higher ups of the clans would also appear. These positions would naturally be reserved for the higher ups of the three great clans.
However, the cultivators didn't have much of an opinion on this. After all, strength was the most important thing in the Taihuang Heaven City. The three clans had occupied the eastern part of the city for many years. They only looked at the location of the three regions. Their eyes were filled with envy.
To these cultivators, being able to sit at the top of the three regions was far from what they could look up to.
Because these three people, even the weakest one, was already an expert at the Heavenly Source Realm.
Regarding the candidate for the Ghost God Abyss, the Eastern City was not the only place in the Desolate Heaven City to hold a meeting.
The entire four districts of the Tai Huang Sky City would use this method to select the candidates to enter the Ghost God Abyss.
At this time, in the Eastern District of the Desolate Heaven City.
Many cultivators arrived one after another, and those who had arrived earlier could not wait to get closer to the edge of the platform.
"I wonder which family will be the first in this selection competition."
"Such a grand event is rare. It has been a long time since our Tai Huang Heaven City has been so lively."
"Sigh, it seems like there are only sixteen people from our eastern city who will be able to enter the Ghost God Abyss this time. It is getting lesser and lesser."
"I don't know if it is true or not, but I hope this is just to scare people."
"I've heard about it too. Maybe it's because of something. Otherwise, who would be so rash?"
"It can't be. There are only 16 people. If that's the case, even if we enter the east city, I'm afraid we won't be able to reap any rewards."
"Sigh, who told me that the east city is the weakest one in the four big districts. Otherwise, there might be around 40 to 50 people."
"Who cares? This kind of thing isn't something we can worry about. We might as well wait and see if this match is interesting enough."
......
The cultivators who had rushed over began to discuss the battle on the platform. They didn't feel that the eastern city was affected by the lack of people entering.
After all, this kind of great opportunity in the Ghost God Abyss did not just take a fancy to one of the eight days in the next eight days, the Great Void Sky. Instead, it was the Grand Illusionary Sky. It was controlled by the seven Grand Cosmos in the next eight days, and the Grand Desolate Heaven was the weakest Grand Desolate Heaven in the next eight days, except for the Death Pool Heaven. It was already considered very friendly to have over a hundred people qualified to enter.
"Now, the people of the three great clans are all saber Qi. I just don't know which one of the three great clans will be the final winner after the competition."
"It should be the Ouyang Clan. It's said that Ouyang Hai is the best of the younger generation in the entire Eastern City. No one below the Heavenly Dao Realm can compete with him. Furthermore, in the last battle, the final winner was also the Ouyang Clan."
"It can't be generalized. The most important thing is the strength of the cultivators. I see that Zhang Ling Er of the Zhang Clan has an imposing manner that can't be compared to a woman. Moreover, these two have never really fought before. I think that the Zhang family won't be too bad. "
"However, I think that the Lei Family will not be too bad. You must know that in our Tai Huang Heaven City... The Lei Family's cultivation technique is extremely tyrannical. Furthermore, that kid from the Lei Family has never shown himself. This time, he might give us a pleasant surprise. "
...
Many cultivators began to discuss. The topic they were discussing was about the ranking of the competition.
There were even some people who had already placed bets on the side that they thought would win in advance.
However, for the cultivators who were born and raised in the Tai Huang Heaven City, they were not surprised by such a thing.
This was because every time there was a competition before entering the Ghost God Abyss, there would be special staff members of the gambling den coming to take a bet.
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, suddenly, a group of several people walked out from the crowd and headed towards the three areas that were higher than the platform.
This group of people were older than ordinary people, and only a few young people followed behind them. At this moment, they were heading towards one of the three areas, and then they all landed on their seats.
"It's the people from the Lei Family. I didn't expect that the first to arrive would be the people from the Lei Family."
"That's for sure. The Lei Family usually does things in a swift and decisive manner. They'll be able to appear for a short period of time. "
"Then the youngest person below should be Lei Qinghai from the Lei Family."
"Haha, his power seems to have increased again."
"As expected of the number one person in the Lei Family's younger generation. Just a glance at him is enough to make me feel an endless amount of pressure."
"Looks like a fierce battle is inevitable."
...
Many cultivators looked towards the area where the Lei Family was located.
On one hand, it was because the Lei Clan had arrived first. On the other hand, the Lei Clan had arrived first. It was because the Lei Family was the only local power in the eastern part of the city. He did not belong to the Pill Sect. Hence, the overall power of the Lei Clan was slightly weaker than the Zhang Clan and the Ouyang Clan. However, even if it was slightly weaker... There was a limit to it.
At this moment, with the arrival of the Lei Clan members, the crowd started discussing amongst themselves. This caused the atmosphere, which was originally lively because of today's unique day, to become even more lively.
"That Zhang Clan member has also arrived."
Someone suddenly said something. Then, everyone seemed to have a reaction as they all looked towards the crowd.
Then, they saw a group of people walking out from the crowd. They were the members of the Zhang Clan. At that moment, they passed through the crowd and quickly sat down in the area where the Zhang Clan was located.
The one sitting at the front was naturally the head of the Zhang family.
And beside the head of the Zhang family was a woman.
The woman was dressed in white clothes that were as white as snow. Her figure was tall and slender, and her bearing was extraordinary. She was naturally the number one genius of the Zhang family, Zhang Ling Er.
On the other side, there was a beautiful woman. The woman was elegant and elegant. She had a faint smile on her face. With every frown and smile, she looked natural. She was the famous alchemist, Bai Wei.
When such a scene appeared in everyone's eyes, it was definitely a visual feast.
"Zhang Ling Er still has an unparalleled temperament. She is worthy of being called the number one beauty in the east city."
"Although Zhang Ling Er didn't win the first place in the last grand event, she still firmly held the second place in my hands. I wonder if I can break through to the first place this time."
"Lord Bai Wei is in the Zhang family. In addition, Zhang Ling Er's talent in cultivation is rare in the world. With the combination of pills and talent, I'm afraid Zhang Ling Er's power cannot be underestimated."
...
Everyone began a series of discussions with Zhang Ling Er. Compared to Lei Qinghai, who had arrived first, many cultivators were still willing to discuss Zhang Ling Er.
After all, not only was Zhang Ling Er beautiful, she was also not weak. Naturally, she would be sought after by countless people.
Following that, the people of Ouyang Clan also arrived, although they were the last to arrive. However, when they arrived, the entire area instantly became even livelier. In an instant, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented peak.
After all, as the champion of the last Grand Meeting, their faction could be considered as the strongest in the Eastern City.
Very quickly, the members of the Ouyang Clan all entered the three regions.
Ouyang Hai sat below. Although his cultivation talent was extremely high, he was still a junior of the Ouyang Clan. As a junior, it was naturally impossible for him to be at the forefront of such matters.
As soon as Ouyang Hai sat down, his gaze shifted to the Zhang Clan. He didn't pay too much attention to the Lei Clan. The only one he had any doubts about was the Zhang Clan.
However, when his gaze landed on Zhang Ling Er, his expression instantly stiffened as he softly called out, "Something's not right."
He didn't deliberately bear with it. Hence, when he exclaimed in surprise, Ouyang Jie and Ouyang Ying looked at him.
"What's wrong?" The two of them spoke as their gazes paused on him.
"Ling Jian and Ling Yun from the Zhang Family have yet to come over." Ouyang Hai spoke calmly. He did not even turn his head when Ouyang Jie and Ouyang Ying asked him.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jie and Ouyang Ying turned to look at the Zhang Family. Indeed, they saw that there were two fewer people in the younger generation of the Zhang Family.
Immediately, the two of them started to frown.
"Could it be that they have left? Something's not right, right?" The two of them voiced their doubts.
At this time, there were a total of ten seats around Zhang Ling Er's seat. Eight of them were full of people, but only two seats were empty.
One had to know that this pageant was related to the people entering the Ghost God Abyss. It had an extraordinary significance to the entire Tai Huang Heaven City, and there weren't many rules for the pageant. As long as the troops of the three great clans all expired, it could begin. However, the forces of the Zhang Clan had yet to arrive. To them... Obviously, they were somewhat at a loss, as they did not know that the Zhang Clan had done this on purpose. Or was it the intention of the two of them?
After all, both Ling Jian and Ling Yun had participated in the banquet last night. There was no reason for them not to come today.
Very quickly, other than the Ouyang Family, the Lei Family members also noticed this scene. They immediately furrowed their brows.
"This Ling Jian and Ling Yun sure put on airs." Lei Qinghai's gaze swept across the empty seat beside Zhang Ling Er before speaking in a meaningful tone.
Soon, other than the three great clans that were participating in the Grand Meeting, the rest of the cultivators also discovered this scene and immediately voiced their doubts.
They did not know that two people from the Zhang Clan had participated in the banquet last night, but there was no news of them today.
The remaining two clans in the capital of the grand gathering had already expired, but the Zhang Clan had lost two people. Could it be that the Zhang Clan was planning to use such a lineup to pay for the younger generation of the two great clans?
After all, they were exceptionally clear about the rules of the competition. It was not a one on one battle, but a battle of attrition. As long as one of the opponents did not fail, the battle would not be considered to have ended.
Under such circumstances, it was obvious that for them who had lost two young people's fighting strength, they had already lost two people before they had the business to do.
However, these cultivators could only make some sounds of doubt, but they had no right to interfere.
In the seats of the three large regions, the chiefs of the three great clans were all sitting at the head of the seats. At this moment, countless gazes of reverence were cast on them.
To them, the chiefs of the three families had always been the pinnacle existence in the east district. They were respected by everyone. In addition, they were the leaders of their respective forces. With such a high position and status, it made them even more dazzling.
At this moment, they were sitting at the head seat, looking down.
They naturally heard the discussions of the cultivators just now.
The head of the Zhang Clan reacted first, then looked at Zhang Ling Er's position. Then, he saw that there were no figures at the two seats.
"These two people haven't come yet? However, if that's the case, it suits Ling Jian's identity."2
He was indeed somewhat afraid of Ling Jian. Forget about everything else, just the terrifying Divine Sense alone was sufficient to make him not dare to give birth to him.
It was perfectly normal for such a figure to put on airs.
Soon after, he withdrew his gaze.
The Ouyang Clan's Master also shifted his gaze towards Zhang Ling Er. When he saw the two empty spots, his brows slightly raised.
Ouyang Hai had already told him everything that had happened at the banquet last night. When he heard this news, he originally wanted to see what was the difference between Ling Jian and Ling Yun. However, he had never expected that neither of them would come.
"Could it be that the head of the Zhang Family intends to deal with the people of my Ouyang Family with just two fewer people in this competition?"
The head of the Ouyang family turned to look at the head of the Zhang family, who was standing beside him, and said indifferently, "Or should I say it? Your Zhang Clan intends to use such a method to deal with our two great clans? "
When the Ouyang Clan's Patriarch finished speaking, the face of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch instantly sank.
He didn't take Ouyang Family Head's first sentence to heart. However, when he heard the last sentence, his head started to furrow.
The Eastern City's three great families had always been independent. Now that Ouyang Family Head said such words, it was obvious that there was some other meaning behind it. However, Heng Duo's words were directed at the Zhang Family.
"Hmph, when did the matters of my Zhang Clan come to your Ouyang Clan to worry about?" The Zhang Clan's Patriarch spoke with a deep voice, a cold smile on his face. Even in the presence of so many cultivators, he didn't seem to care about the face of the other party at all.
After all, the two great clans had always been at odds with each other. Although they were both support forces of the Pill Sect, the conflict between them was also very intense.
The cultivators of the Tai Huang Heaven City were well aware of this point. Hence, the two of them opposed each other with no intention of hiding anything.
Hearing this, the Ouyang Family Head did not show any signs of anger. Instead, he smiled faintly and did not speak anymore.
"Lord Bai Wei, what is going on with the two of them, Alchemist Ling Jian?" Seeing this, the Zhang family head looked at Bai Wei and asked.
Regarding the battle at the grand event. He had always valued it. Furthermore, entering the Ghost God Abyss would definitely have a huge change in his view of the future growth of the younger generation of the family. He naturally could not treat it as a child's play.
"Previously, I sent someone over. He said that he would come by himself. If I calculate the time, it should be about time now. " Bai Wei said. She frowned. Although that was the case, she did not relax at all. Instead, she frowned and felt nervous.
After that, Bai Wei's beautiful eyes kept looking around, but she quickly looked away. Because in the process, she did not find anyone related to Ling Jian.
As for Ling Jian. She knew how powerful Ling Jian was. If she could participate in this competition, then the Zhang family would definitely be the first in this competition.
However, if the other two did not come at this time, with the Zhang Clan's current line-up, they had lost two young experts at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path. Even if they managed to get second place, it would still be hard to predict. In fact, they might even end up at the bottom of the pack.
"Hmph, if this kid dares to slap me in the face in this sort of situation... I don't care what kind of background he has. I will definitely make him pay the price." The Zhang Clan Head's expression also became displeased. It was different from his usual easy-going attitude. Right now, his mood was extremely terrible.
Upon seeing this, Apothecary Bai Wei could only remain silent.
Ling Jian and Ling Yun were more or less related to her. She was the one who brought him here. If not for her rejecting all objections and recommending him, such a thing might not have happened.
Zhang Ling Er sat on her seat. Although her pretty face was still as cold as before, at this moment, there was more or less a trace of frost on it.
"The battle of the pageant is about to begin. These two fellows... They actually never showed themselves. What the hell are they doing?" Zhang Ling Er said angrily. She was already angry, even though she was only a woman. However, as the number one person in the younger generation of the Zhang family, in fact, his character was extremely arrogant. Even some men couldn't compare with him.
As for the battle of the grand meeting, she also saw it to be extremely important. After all, this was related to her future growth, as well as the powerful development of the younger generation of the clan.
However, she never would have thought that such a thing would actually happen before the grand competition started.
