Chapter 176: Kongchan Selects Generals (Updated, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Sun Yanwan walked around the area but couldn't find Lu Shuangfeng and Wu Zhi. Worried that his two friends had been targeted by "evil people," he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Lu, Brother Wu, the enemy is attacking."

He called out a few times, and Lu Shuangfeng and Wu Zhi reluctantly responded, shouting, "We are here."

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed and shouted, "We were just surrounded by six people, and I couldn't handle it alone. Now that we've gathered together, we should go back and give those enemies a lesson."

Lu Shuangfeng finally believed that Sun Yanwan had not tricked them into coming out to practice martial arts, and shouted, "What are their characteristics?"

Sun Yanwan discussed the six people's appearances and added, "They claim to be from Yuntai."

Lu Shuangfeng was a little suspicious and said, "Yuntai is the place where the Dalang Dynasty supports masters. If they are really from Yuntai, why would they come here in the middle of the night?"

When the three of them got together, Sun Yanwan was no longer afraid of the six masters. They returned to their resting place, but the six people were gone.

Wu Zhi used her Qing Gong to circle the area and whispered, "Southeast, where Yan Wan said he fought someone, there are indeed two very shallow footprints. The left one is blurry, probably from a hard fight with Yan Wan, venting his inner energy. This person's inner strength is extremely authentic, and he's not from the Demonic Cult."

"There are also traces in the other five directions, but because their Qinggong skills are extremely high, the traces are very subtle."

"Judging from the six footprints, if the three of us team up to face these six, the outcome will be 40-60, with the three of us counting as 40."

Sun Yanwan thought for a moment and said, "The green-robed man I'm fighting should be a second-rank man, but I'm confident I can force him to retreat within fifty moves. As for whether I can kill him, it depends on whether he makes any mistakes."

"I don't know about the others, but the man in green robe is not the leader, so his martial arts skills should not be the strongest."

"They said they wanted to capture Yang Diao'er, but why would Yang Diao'er come with us? This is just an excuse."

Ever since Monk Kongchan told him that Zhang Yuanqiao was injured in the challenge to Yang Wuji, Sun Yanwan has been feeling a bit worried, fearing that Beiyan or the Demon Cult might target him. He thought to himself, "After I pick up Mr. Han Shi, I'll find an excuse to leave the court and take them to hide in Songyang Mountain."

"There are at least ten Grandmasters in Songyang Mountain. Even if the Grandmaster from Longzang Temple comes, I'm afraid he will return empty-handed."

Lu Shuangfeng was also somewhat bewildered by this matter. With a serious expression, she said, "Now in Northern Yan, the Demon Cult is trying to stir up trouble. The ancestor of the Great Lang Dynasty is also in a state of uncertainty. The originally relatively balanced martial arts world is about to be disrupted. We all need to be careful."

Wu Zhi was slightly excited. He worked as a constable in Chongyang City. Although his life was comfortable and he could help people, he always felt that it was not the world of martial arts he had imagined. He was invited by Sun Yanwan to Luojing to solve a case, but before he could show his skills, the case was closed. Every day he lived was like a drunken dream. Instead, he had some inexplicable anticipation for the upcoming turmoil in the martial arts world.

Yang Diao'er curled up into a tiny ball and used the tortoise breathing technique to slow down her breathing and heartbeat to an imperceptible level. Even Sun Yanwan and others who were nearby did not expect that this little princess of the Demon Sect would hide in a carriage.

At this time in Luojing, Monk Kongchan looked helpless. Hundreds of files were piled in front of him, each of which represented a young master of the Dalang Dynasty.

The palace was extremely angry about Alanta's attack on the ancestor, but somehow they suppressed the matter and instead started to push for the battle for the throne with all their strength.

The task of presiding over the battle for the tripod naturally fell on the shoulders of Monk Kongchan.

No one could invite them, no matter whether it was the old owner of Youjian Villa or Da Ku of Shaochan Temple.

Even Monk Kongchan thought the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty was probably dead. Even if he wasn't dead, the old man refused to show up, and even the current emperor was helpless. The three supreme masters were unlikely to show up, let alone the five great masters.

Yang Wuji was promoted to the highest level, and just had a decisive battle with his ancestor on the top of the Forbidden City, where he was wounded and defeated.

Before leaving, he had a fight with Zhang Yuanqiao, and the result was that Yang Wuji's injuries worsened, and Zhang Yuanqiao returned to Songyang to recuperate.

Taoist Xuanming is the national teacher of Nanxia, ​​how could he care about Dalang's affairs?

The Sword God Hu Qingdi has not revealed his whereabouts for many years. Even if he finds this person, he will not mention the Dalang royal family to fight for him.

After all, Monk Kongchan still holds an official position, so he is the most suitable candidate, no doubt about it.

Monk Kongchan was quite troubled about how to select candidates from hundreds of young people to participate in the battle for the tripod.

The Innate Realm is easier to deal with. There are only seventeen people on the list of geniuses. Excluding the geniuses from Beiyan and Nanxia, ​​and the older geniuses, there are only seven people to choose from. At most, we can find five or six alternatives who will be promoted to the Innate Realm after the age of twenty. The range is not that large.

The five people below the Xiantian realm are more difficult to deal with. Monk Kongchan can only circle out those who are of the right age and are in the first-grade realm. There are at least seventy people in total. It is a very troublesome task to select the five most suitable ones from these seventy people.

Originally, the Great Lang Dynasty could only mobilize the elites within its bureaucracy and military, and had no power over the elite of the various factions. The major factions were unwilling to send their young disciples to participate in the battle for the throne. However, this time, the Great Lang Dynasty was determined to fight to the death, offering ten cities bordering Northern Yan as a prize for the battle. It also demanded that Northern Yan offer ten cities as a matching bet, and Northern Yan had already agreed.

The royal family of Dalang has officially issued an edict, promising that whoever wins the battle can get the city of Beiyan as a reward, and the family will be able to inherit it forever for generations.

When this decree was issued, all the major sects immediately flocked to it and sent the information of their most talented young disciples to Luojing like snow. Even Monk Kongchan couldn't help but admire that there were so many talented people in Dalang.

Monk Kongchan sighed and picked up a pile of smaller files. The first one ranked was his good disciple Shi Si. As Shi Si was ranked second on the list of geniuses, she was bound to be selected.

Monk Kongchan was the first to pick it out, put it aside, and wrote Shi Si's name on a piece of white paper.

The second one was in the Xiantian realm. He hesitated for a long time and took out Zhang Qingxi's file, but did not put it together with Shi Si's, nor did he write Zhang Qingxi's name. After all, he was the fourth prince, and he could not decide whether he could participate in the battle for the tripod.

Monk Kongchan finally took out the file of Tao Xuanzhang of the Songyang Sect. This person was one of the Twelve True Disciples and one of only two among the Twelve True Disciples to be included in the Tianjiao List. He was five or six years older than Zhang Qingxi, but still met the requirements for the battle for the tripod.

After selecting two people, Kong Chan quickly chose the third person. Since Shaochan Temple and Songyang Sect both had people selected, how could Youjian Villa be left out?
The third person is the disciple of Mu Xianyuan from Youjian Villa.

Although Monk Kongchan hesitated for a long time about the fourth and fifth candidates, he quickly decided on them. Next, he also selected five candidates for the Xiantian Realm competition.

When they arrived at Xiantianxia, ​​Monk Kongchan suddenly threw down his brush and said, "Let's have the imperial palace choose once first."

After making this decision, Monk Kongchan felt slightly relieved.
