Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 88 Meeting an acquaintance (Part )
No one expected that such a thing would suddenly happen during the competition.

As soon as this elder from a small sect appeared, the entire competition scene that was ready to begin fell into an awkward silence.

However, facing the other party's direct gaze, the representative of the Pure Yang Sword Sect had no way to escape and could only clear his throat and say, "Ahem! As for your matter, we need to consider it carefully."

"Three years and three years, how long do I have to wait?" The elder of the small sect was very excited. "Elder Jian Chun, we have been waiting for thirty years!"

Jian Chun hesitated, "The four sects have all made great contributions to the local people..."

“We are contributing too!”

"The disciples of these four sects are extremely powerful..."

"All our sect's disciples are here this time!" The elder of the small sect's eyes flashed red as he pointed at the idle crowd on the sidelines. "Even without any pre-match preparation, our sect's disciples are willing to compete with the disciples of the four sects in front of everyone. If we lose fairly, then our Xuanfeng Sect will never submit such an application again. But if our sect's disciples are lucky enough to win, we hope that Elder Jianchun and the representatives of the four sects will allow our Xuanfeng Sect to join the Four Sects Alliance!"

Things had come to this point, and Jian Chun could no longer refuse blindly. He could only throw the problem to the representatives of the four sects. After all, they were actually coming for them.

"What do you think? Tell me yourself."

The representative of the Xianyi Sect, who had always been the leader of the four sects, was a chubby, naive-looking middle-aged man. After receiving the ball, he squinted his eyes and smiled, "You want to join the Four Sects Alliance?"

The elder of the small sect nodded, "Yes."

"But after you join, there will be five sects."

"Uh……"

"Then you should consult with the Five Sects Alliance."

"???"

The Lingyun Sect representative echoed, "Yes, this is the Four Sects Alliance. You've come to the wrong place."

"...But I just want to join the Four Sects Alliance!"

"So you mean to squeeze out one of the people present?"

The leader of the Pingding Sect smiled dangerously, "Which one do you want to squeeze out?"

As his voice fell, all the disciples from the four major sects present looked over at once.

This sudden pressure made him break out in a cold sweat even though he was a Jindan stage cultivator.

After all, one careless mistake could lead to the massacre of the entire clan.

"..."

After a moment's stalemate, the elder forced a flattering smile onto his old face.

"Since the atmosphere is quite serious, let's put on a show to liven things up... Let's keep playing the music and competing. We in the Xuanfeng Sect are just joking, haha~"

The atmosphere on the scene thawed instantly.

"It was just a joke, haha."

"This elder, whose name I don't know, is really humorous."

"I was so scared! I thought someone was going to attack our Pingding Sect... I was so scared that I almost wanted to fight him to death."

Listening to the sarcastic laughter around him, the elder lowered his head and a hint of crazy determination flashed in his eyes.

"You didn't seize this last chance! Don't blame me then!"

……

The competition officially begins, with people entering the ring from both sides at the same time.

Lin Jian sat in the audience closest to the ring, with Sun Qinghan, Bai Jingxuan, Chunxue and others beside him.

The other disciples were all three feet behind him, and Elder Tong had already been driven to the referee's seat.

Only the patrolling elders of the small sect frowned in confusion as they looked at the viewing platform, which was supposed to be occupied by only four people. "Irrelevant people, please leave immediately and don't disturb the participating disciples!"

However, they encountered strong protests from the Zhengyang Sect contestants - "What does she, a mortal, know?!"

"You are already in the Golden Core Stage, why are you still bothering with a mortal?"

“…” The elder of the small sect who was subjected to moral judgment pursed his lips, thought about it carefully and agreed.

Competition rules prohibit these contestants from contacting others because they are afraid that they will receive assistance beyond the regulations.

But I have only heard of people seeking help from the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul, but I have never heard of anyone seeking a mortal for guidance.

With the thought that less trouble is worse than more, the elder angrily left with a flick of his sleeves.

Yun Feiyang was left squatting awkwardly on the side, drawing circles on the ground...

On the stage, Ping Sinan and Li Qingyu each bowed.

"Does Li Qingyu have a chance?" Sun Qinghan said seriously.

Although I said it, I didn't expect any feedback.

The conclusion was similar to what they had guessed. The first person to come on stage from Lingyun Sect was indeed Ping Sinan.

Intelligence reports say he practices both sword and seclusion. His techniques combine the elusive qualities of a hermit, while his ability to face enemies head-on is complemented by the sharpness of a swordsman.

Yin Wuya is the face of Lingyun Sect, so it is impossible for him to be the first to appear when the situation is unknown.

However, the result of the first match will have a great impact on the subsequent morale and tolerance, and must be taken seriously, so the second seed’s move can be said to be a foregone conclusion.

Ping Sinan is the second seed among the Lingyun Sect’s participating team!
But even though the prediction was successful, she still felt unsure.

Facing an unknown opponent, who dares to say that they can win 100%?

This terrible competition rule means that every time you encounter an opponent, they are completely unfamiliar. Apart from relying on the understanding of the overall style of the sect, you can only rely on rumors from those who have trained outside and the fragmentary words of some semi-insider disciples.

The combined information, apart from giving them a certain basic understanding of each opponent, cannot be used as the final support for victory.

If you want to win, you can only rely on the on-the-spot reaction and decision-making of each disciple on the field.

Fortunately, Li Qingyu has been working alone outside for many years. Even though he has never faced the reclusive cultivators of Lingyun Sect, he is still very smart in dealing with various methods.

After only a few moves, a hint of joy appeared on her face. "So it's you!"

When Ping Sinan heard this, he panicked and suddenly covered his face with a black scarf, "It's not me!"

Seeing the other person dressed in black, Li Qingyu's eyes lit up, "It's even more like him!"

"It's really not me!" Ping Sinan pulled another black scarf to wrap around his head, and a muffled voice came from below, "You've got the wrong person!"

Li Qingyu grinned and punched the ground. Amidst the ripples, he rushed towards the other party with a knife in hand. "You're the one who stole our Chamber of Commerce's goods! I let you get away last time, but don't try to escape again this time!"

Ping Sinan seemed to be in a panic to fight, but a slender flying sword was flying around, often disappearing in a cloud of black smoke and appearing strangely in another place the next moment.

Although they looked weak in terms of momentum, they were actually attacking and defending each other, and the fight was extremely lively for a while.

This was the first time Lin Jian had seen the Great Senior Sister use her full strength, and he couldn't help but admire her, "What a powerful physical cultivator!"

If Sword Master Qingfeng is the benchmark for sword cultivation in the Jindan period, then Senior Sister Li Qingyu is probably the benchmark for physical cultivation in the foundation-building period.

Her whole body was shining with golden light, like a wanton and ferocious beast. On the field, all she could see was her carrying a knife and attacking like a mud truck.

At the same time, her earth-type spiritual roots were rooted in the earth, and from the echoes coming from the ground, she could always keenly capture the hiding direction of Ping Sinan, who was agile.

Even though she was not very agile in her armor and carrying a broadsword, she was always able to keep a close eye on Ping Sinan who was dodging and maneuvering, and gradually compressed his living space.

However, the secret method of hermit cultivation is indeed unique. Ping Sinan, who was forced into a dead end several times, always managed to suddenly appear in an incredible way, escape and launch a counterattack at the same time.

"Did you see it clearly?" Sun Qinghan asked.

"It's a shadow." Lin Jiantong Chunxue muttered.
