The moment Leng Qingqiu entered the three-meter range, Chu Ci's nine-colored light column went straight to the crystal ball in the other's hand.

"Ah!" With a scream, the crystal ball fell heavily to the ground.

Then, all the illusions around began to gradually become thinner, and finally slowly dissipated without a trace.

In a short period of time, all the giant dragons, magic weapons and monsters that had appeared before disappeared, and only Leng Qingqiu appeared with a look of astonishment on his face.

The crystal ball in Leng Qingqiu's hand is called the Phantom Crystal Bead. Anyone affected by it will have their spiritual power exhausted. However, what she did not expect was that Chu Ci could detect the abnormality so quickly and even launch a counterattack.

After everything was over, Chu Ci glanced at the dagger in Leng Qingqiu's hand and said, "Fairy Leng's methods are indeed impressive. I admire you."

At the same time, Chu Ci noticed that the stage was in a mess. The original rows of benches had been reduced to pieces. Everyone stood on one side, their eyes all looking towards him.

It seems that apart from those monsters just now, everything else including the people in the audience are actually illusions. Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh at the other party's superb illusion skills.

Leng Qingqiu quickly recovered from his shock, turned around to pick up the crystal bead that had fallen to the ground, and quietly put away the dagger. Then he said with a smile on his face:

"No, no, Fellow Daoist Chu is still more skilled. I admit defeat."

After saying this, without waiting for Chu Ci to answer, he turned around and walked down the platform.

She had originally planned to kill Chu Ci with a single blow while his spiritual power was exhausted. But now that Chu Ci had reacted, she naturally could not show any murderous intent. Moreover, once the illusion was broken, she had no confidence of winning, so she simply admitted defeat.

As Leng Qingqiu walked off the stage, the white-robed butler also stood up and walked to the center, clapping his hands and laughing:

"My fellow Taoists really opened my eyes. Although I am a Jindan cultivator, I feel inferior to them."

After saying this, he turned around and whispered a few words to a little boy beside him. After hearing what he said, the little boy immediately left the hall in a hurry.

The white-robed butler turned around and said to everyone, "Since the competition is over, please take a break. Miss Wanying will be here shortly."

At this moment, Bai Bing on the No. 1 platform suddenly said, "Are you interested in fighting with me?"

Chu Ci was stunned and turned around in surprise, and found that Bai Bing was actually asking him. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Bai Bing spoke.

Just as Chu Ci was hesitating about what to do, he heard the white-robed butler speak:

"No, no, this competition is over now. Any private competition is against the rules. If Miss Wanying finds out and punishes me, I can't afford it!"

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. If these two people fight, if someone dies, it will be a huge loss for the second young lady. Therefore, the white-robed butler will never allow such a situation to happen.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Chu Ci turned to look at Bai Bing again. Bai Bing's eyes were uncertain, as if he was considering something. After a moment, he spoke:

"If that's the case, then forget it. When Fellow Daoist Chu recovers, we can fight again when we have some free time."

After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Chu Ci, turned around and jumped off the No. 1 ring, returning to the Yan State team.

Chu Ci didn't know why the other party had such a strong interest in him, but when he saw that the other party had already walked down from the stage, he jumped down as well.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Song Henian immediately came up to him with a smile on his face, saying: "Haha, I knew that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Today I see that it is true. Those people of the same level as you are just mediocre people in front of you, and they are not even a match for you!"

As he spoke, Song Henian's eyes glanced at Leng Qingqiu, revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

Then he lowered his voice and said to Chu Ci: "Brother Chu, what happened just now? I saw you attacking randomly on the stage by yourself, smashing all the tables and chairs into pieces, and you almost hit me several times, which scared me a lot! Could it be that the little girl named Leng played some tricks?"

After hearing what Song Henian said, Chu Ci was certain that he was the only one who could see the hallucinations just now. He thought it should be related to the strange light emitted by the crystal ball for the first time.

Chu Ci thought for a moment and said, "At first I was indeed fooled and trapped by an illusion. I wonder what Daoist Fellow Leng was doing at that time?"

Song Henian curled his lips and said, "She has been near you with a dagger in her hand, as if she is looking for an opportunity. I think she has ulterior motives."

"Oh?" Chu Ci frowned when he heard that.

At this moment, a green light suddenly floated in from the door, and a clear female voice sounded.

"I wonder which three fellow Taoists won this competition?" It was Wanying who spoke.

After Wanying asked, the white-robed butler hurried forward and said respectfully: "The final winners are Bai Bing, Chu Ci and Shen Sanlang." After saying that, he handed over a red gem the size of a goose egg.

Wanying reached out her hand, gently held the gem, closed her eyes, and began to sense it with her heart.

Chu Ci followed her gaze and saw the Shadow-Cai Stone!

It is said that this item can record scenes that occur within a certain period of time. It is truly a rare treasure.

I believe that the competition process between the few people just now has been recorded in full.

After a while, Wanying slowly opened her eyes and said softly:

"Other Taoist friends may leave first. Taoist friends Bai Bing, Chu Ci, and Shen Sanlang, please stay for now. Taoist friend Leng Qingqiu, please wait for a moment."

After hearing this, everyone walked out of the hall, and soon only these few people were left.

Wanying waved her hand and someone brought over a few plates.

"This is the mid-grade spirit stone I promised to several fellow Taoists. As for the other things, our business alliance will need some time to collect them. Please rest assured that we will be able to collect them all before the competition."

Chu Ci looked at the tray in front of him. There was a storage ring on the tray. He reached out and put the ring away.

Wanying continued, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. There is less than half a year left until the end. I hope you can stay here and practice during this time."

"Stay here and practice? That won't work. I have other things to do." Upon hearing this, Shen Sanlang expressed his objection on the spot.

Wanying continued, "Don't be anxious, Fellow Daoist Shen. Please listen to me. The election of the next patriarch of the Song family is of great importance and involves huge interests. You may not feel anything yet, but in fact, several candidates are secretly competing with each other. Our opponents are also very powerful, and you are all on the side of the second lady. For our opponents, as long as they kill a few foundation-building cultivators, they can win the next game. Think about what the other party will do?

So I can tell you responsibly that as long as you leave the Zhenwu Kingdom Red Horse Merchant Alliance, you will most likely be hunted down immediately."
