C611 First Battle
"These two people are probably cheating food and drinks, right?" Jiang Taishen also noticed this scene and immediately raised his eyebrows. A mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "I have already said that these two people are unreliable. Looks like it is indeed the case."
"At this moment, you still want to say such sarcastic words. Why didn't you say it in front of the two of them at that time?" Zhang Ling Er slightly frowned. She was already in a bad mood, but after hearing this, immediately, she berated Zhang Ling Er heavily.
When Jiang Taishen, who was berated by Zhang Ling Er, heard this, his expression slightly stiffened. He knew that Zhang Ling Er was in a bad mood at this time, so he naturally wouldn't continue to anger Zhang Ling Er like this. Instead, he strangely chose to shut his mouth.
However, although he remained silent, he was actually very excited in his heart. After all, his relationship with Ling Jian wasn't good. It made him very happy that he could make Zhang Ling Er so angry at him.
In his opinion, Ling Jian was indeed considered an arrogant and despotic existence. If it wasn't for the Ghost God Abyss, he would have killed him a long time ago.
...
Another ten minutes passed. During these ten minutes, many cultivators had gathered around.
At this moment, all the cultivators had gathered around the platform. They were all looking forward to the start of the upcoming grand competition. As the grand competition of the Tai Huang Divine City, they were obviously unwilling to miss even a second.
At this moment, in the midst of everyone's anticipation, the Ouyang Clan's Patriarch first swept his gaze across the crowd. Then, his gaze landed on the Zhang Clan's Patriarch and the Lei Clan's Patriarch as he spoke indifferently. "Two Clan Heads, the time has come. Let the Grand Meeting begin."
"Let's begin. If we drag this on any longer, I'm afraid we'll have some objections." The Lei Family Patriarch said calmly.
The Zhang Family's Patriarch's expression was gloomy and cold. He looked at the two empty seats beside Zhang Ling Er and said with a displeased expression, "Since that's the case, let's not dampen everyone's mood. Let's begin."
"Since the Zhang Family doesn't have any objections, let's start immediately." Upon hearing this, the head of the Ouyang Clan smiled knowingly as his gaze landed below. Naturally, when he saw that there were still two empty seats beside Zhang Ling Er, he couldn't help but feel delighted in his heart. He immediately grinned and stood up from his seat.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
The Ouyang Clan's Clan Head spoke indifferently. Although he said that, it was because of the infusion of spiritual energy. The sound waves instantly spread out like a tidal wave, spreading out in all directions. Everyone present could hear him clearly.
As the voice faded, the cultivators around the platform began to quieten down, before they turned to look at the Ouyang Clan's Patriarch with anticipation in their eyes.
Besides them, the people of the three great clans became even more solemn. Unlike the unimportant cultivators, they were members of their clans. They were extremely important to the quota of the three great families to enter the Ghost God Abyss.
Although they might not be able to participate, it must be known that... The people participating this time were all at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path among the younger generation of the family. If one looked at it from a long-term perspective... If there were a lot of people entering the Ghost God Abyss this time, then the younger generation would be able to grow up completely in the future. They would become incomparably powerful.
"Regarding the competition of the pageant, I think everyone should already be very clear about the rules."
The Ouyang Clan's Patriarch's gaze swept over everyone present as he spoke in an indifferent tone. "As usual, this time around, we will still use the same method of battle. As long as there is still one participant who has yet to fall... This battle can't be considered a failure. "
"In the previous battle, the Ouyang Clan was first, the Zhang Clan was second, and the Lei Clan was third. Therefore, this time, the first battle was between the Ouyang Clan and the Zhang Clan. The second battle was between the Zhang Clan and the Lei Clan. The last battle was between the Lei Clan and the Ouyang Clan."
"This is only the first round. After the first round ends, the second round will be held. The second round will also be held in the same order. The loser of any side will be eliminated, and the winner will choose to continue fighting or to recuperate."
"Until the last round, the winner of that clan will be the final victor of this battle."
"As for the number of people that can be ranked, I don't need to say anything. In any case, the number of people in the four regions is the lowest. However, we must seize this opportunity. Even if it's the least number, we can't let down our imposing manner."
"Therefore, the battle of the grand event will now begin. The first battle of the first round, the Zhang Clan and the Ouyang Clan, please send someone from the two great clans to participate."
At this moment, following the words of the Ouyang Clan's Patriarch, the surroundings had clearly become deathly silent. Almost all the cultivators held their breaths, their eyes filled with anticipation. The Zhang Clan and the Ouyang Clan were both factions supported by the Pill Sect. These two great clans... Now, they were finally going to face each other.
At this moment, all the cultivators' gazes swept across the area where the two great clans were located without blinking. For the first battle, victory was the most important. After all, a battle of this scale would more or less affect the momentum of the following battles. No one wanted to lose momentum at such a time.
If they lost the first battle, then the people who appeared later would definitely feel tied up because of the outcome of their families. It would definitely affect the people who participated later on.
Regardless of the cultivators who were not participating in the competition, they were aware of this fact. Even the people of the three great clans were extremely clear about it.
After the Ouyang Clan's Patriarch finished speaking, he returned to his seat. Then, his gaze passed through the area below and saw the area where Ouyang Hai was.
Although the battle at the grand meeting was fierce, it was still only a battle between the juniors of the Heavenly Spirit Path. The number one person in the younger generation of Ouyang Hai's clan naturally played an important role in this battle.
Not long after, the Ouyang Clan immediately sent someone to participate in the first battle of the seats.1
Ouyang Ying, who was seated beside Ouyang Hai, slowly stood up from her seat. After taking a few steps, her figure leaped and landed on the platform.
"Ouyang Ying of the Ouyang Clan represents the Ouyang Clan for the first battle. I hope that the Zhang Clan can enlighten me." Ouyang Ying smiled as she spoke. Her gaze shifted towards the Zhang Clan's seat. There was an unconcealed playfulness in her eyes.
"What? Could it be that the Ouyang Clan has made a mistake? Ouyang Ying has already appeared in the first battle. Could it be that she wants to give the Zhang Clan a heavy blow?"
In the area where the Zhang Clan was located, when the crowd saw that it was Ouyang Ying, their expressions changed slightly.
Similarly, Zhang Ling Er's gaze sank.
As one of the top three rankers in the younger generation of the Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Ying's combat strength was indeed incomparably tyrannical. Even compared to the number one Ouyang Hai, her actual combat strength was more than enough to surpass the many peak Heavenly Spirit Dao cultivators of the Grand Desolate Heaven City.
With her strength, she should have been used as a trump card to fight. Who would have thought that it would be the first shopping mall?
"Which one of you plans to make a move?" Zhang Ling Er lightly swept her gaze over the people beside her. Her gaze didn't have much fluctuation. She knew that this match couldn't be avoided, so she could only choose.
As his gaze swept across them, everyone's gaze shifted away. Surprisingly, they all fell into silence. Obviously, no one liked to be Ouyang Ying's enemy.
After all, Ouyang Ying wasn't an ordinary expert at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path. If they chose such a person as their opponent, they would have to take some risks. After all, it was very difficult for anyone at the same cultivation level to obtain many benefits from him.
"All of you made a solemn vow before coming here, yet none of you dare to go now?" Zhang Ling Er's expression was quite displeased, and a wave of uncivilized hellfire arose in her heart. She didn't expect that in the first battle, the people on her side would actually perform so badly.
She didn't know if it was because they were too weak or because Ouyang Ying had scared all of them.
"Miss Zhang, I'll take care of this battle."
As the crowd fell into silence, a faint voice was heard all of a sudden.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Ling Er hurriedly turned her head to look. Then, she saw Jiang Taishen greeting her.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Jiang Taishen." Zhang Ling Er's expression instantly turned for the better, and a trace of excitement appeared on her face. At this moment, the way she looked at Jiang Taishen also underwent a few major changes and became filled with gratitude.
After all, if no one came out, it would be a joke.
On the other side, Jiang Taishen was delighted in his heart. He had been paying attention to Zhang Ling Er's every move. Naturally, he also noticed the trace of excitement on Zhang Ling Er's face. Although his expression remained unchanged, he actually felt as if he had eaten honey in his heart.
The reason why he participated in this grand competition was to get close to Zhang Ling Er and now he had done it.
And now, he had aroused Zhang Ling Er's favorable impression and received even more attention. To him, this was also an opportunity.
"This Ouyang Ying is the second person in the younger generation of the Ouyang Clan, second only to Ouyang Hai. Her strength and scheming are both extraordinary. You must not be careless." Zhang Ling Er reminded Jiang Taishen.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhang. I know her information very well." Jiang Taishen felt warm in his heart when he heard that. He hurriedly cupped his fists and greeted Zhang Ling Er.
After that, he didn't speak anymore. Instead, he moved his body and headed towards the tall platform.
"Zhang Family's Jiang Taishen, please enlighten me." Jiang Taishen slowly said. He looked at Ouyang Ying, who was standing opposite him, and the seriousness in his eyes grew.
Only after getting closer did he realize that Ouyang Ying was indeed extraordinary.
Although he had never fought Ouyang Ying before, he had never fought her. However, he was very familiar with Ouyang Ying's information. As the second ranked disciple of the younger generation of the Ouyang Clan... If he didn't have any true abilities, he would never have achieved such an achievement.
"Jiang Taishen, who is this? Why have I never heard of this before?"
"His surname isn't Zhang. Could he be someone invited by the Zhang family?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't the Zhang family being too arrogant in front of the Ouyang family's second genius?"
