A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

Looking at the disappearing Qu Ling'er, Pei Cangli smiled bitterly. It was just a joke, but he didn't expect that someone would really come to save her.

Si Yunzhou looked at Pei Cangli with a guilty look on his face and said, "Cangli, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that I didn't pay attention for a moment and let her be rescued by someone."

Pei Cangli shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Anyway, the revenge has been taken. The next time we meet, it will be her death."

At the window on the third floor, a Yuanying cultivator volunteered, "My Lord, that female cultivator was rescued by a Yuanying cultivator. Do you need me to take care of her?"

Xuan Shang looked at Pei Cangli below, thinking that Little White Flower was indeed too kind, and said to the Nascent Soul cultivator, "It's all right, let the people below check who rescued the female cultivator."

The Nascent Soul cultivator waved his hand, and soon an evil cultivator took the order and left.

Standing beside Xuan Shang with great respect, he asked, "My Lord, you have invited me here this time. I wonder what instructions you have?"

Xuan Shang glanced at him and asked with some dissatisfaction, "What's going on with Misty Mountain? Didn't the higher-ups tell them not to take action recently?"

The Yuanying cultivator hurriedly explained, "The old ghost himself asked his subordinates to capture the human cultivators in Huanwu Mountain. As you know, Master, after the old ghost was injured, he wanted to recover his cultivation, so he was eager to capture the human cultivators."

"But I heard that all the people in Huanwu Mountain have been wiped out by the righteous disciples, except for the old ghost, so I think he should still be alive."

"He ran away."

"Has the old ghost contacted the Lord?"

"No, but I was there that day. When you find the old ghost, bring him to me."

"Yes, my lord."

"Besides, how are you preparing for the Ten Years Competition?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Everything is ready. We just need to wait for the time to come out."

"During the competition, there is only one thing you need to pay attention to. Anyone who participates in the competition and sees the female cultivator wearing the ice-blue cloak is not allowed to hurt her, and is not allowed to admit defeat directly."

"This... Lord, if you don't allow her to be hurt, why don't you let her just admit defeat? I'm afraid it will make the people below feel awkward."

"If it's difficult, then don't participate. My blood pool just needs a fresh batch of blood."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for the Nascent Soul cultivator to react, a black shadow flashed by and Xuan Shang disappeared from the spot.

Looking at Xuan Shang who had already left, the Nascent Soul cultivator sat down on the ground in fear. The Lord was getting more and more terrifying. Wasn’t the blood pool just changed? Why did he have to change it again?

We can only convey the Lord's intentions. As for what the people below do, that depends on their own choices.

Either enter the Lord's blood pool? Or find a way to participate in the competition, but not hurt the female cultivator, and can't just admit defeat?

Thinking of this, the Nascent Soul cultivator called someone and asked him to investigate the information of the female cultivator privately, so that the appropriate action could be taken.

The day of the ten-year competition soon arrived, and Pei Cangli also joined the team of independent cultivators, where he met Lei Yu who had participated in the previous selection.

I didn’t expect that Lei Yu has also reached the Jindan stage. It seems that he has had many adventures over the years.

After saying hello and receiving his number tag, Pei Cangli went back to the inn first. He and Si Yunzhou and the others exchanged their number tags, and the competition would officially begin tomorrow.

In the four clans' ten-year competition, each clan will send out a corresponding number of people: thirty people in the Qi Refining stage, ten people in the early Qi Refining stage, ten people in the middle Qi Refining stage, and ten people in the peak Qi Refining stage.

The same is true for the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Core Formation Stage, except that each year there are more human participants, so a round of selection is required first.

As Pei Cangli won the first place in the last selection and is now the youngest in the Jindan stage, he can naturally participate directly without taking part in the selection.

On the contrary, the demon clan, ghost clan and monster clan all have a strict hierarchical system, and whoever is asked to participate must participate.

Each tribe will not draw people from the same tribe, so there is no need to worry about meeting acquaintances or friends.

As soon as he returned to his room, Pei Cangli received a message from Cangcang saying that the system had issued a task and that he had to win first place in the competition.

Pei Cangli originally just wanted to understand the fighting styles of various races and improve his practical experience. However, he didn't expect that he would be on a mission now, so he had to plan carefully.

Otherwise, she didn't want to see him getting first place with injuries, and in the ten-year competition, the top three would receive generous rewards.

The competition is divided into three rounds. The first round is a ring competition. There are a total of thirty-six rings, three for the Qi Refining stage, one each for the early Qi Refining stage, the middle Qi Refining stage, and the peak Qi Refining stage.

There are also three stages in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the same is true for the Core Formation Stage.

Then each tribe will occupy an arena, and the tribe that retains the most people within the specified time will be the winner.

Each tribe decides on its own the number of people defending and attacking the ring, as well as the personnel allocation. The other three tribes have already made all the arrangements before the competition.

Only the human race always fails every time when it comes to this round because of dissatisfaction with each other and competition between sects.

This time, the five major sects and the alliance of independent cultivators also made advance arrangements for this, that is, everyone will focus on the Qingying Sect.

After all, they are the top five sects in terms of strength, which is more convincing than anything else. Other sects and independent cultivators have no objection to this.

Pei Cangli was also informed of this rule before the competition. She had no objection to it. After all, having someone to lead is always better than being a group of scattered sand.

In order for her to get first place, the human race must first get first place. Each person’s number plate has a small formation that can show how many opponents each person has defeated during the game, so as to count the points.

Among the ten people in the early stage of Jindan this time, except Pei Cangli and Lei Yu, the others are from various sects, and Si Yunzhou is also among these ten people.

Ji Feng, Mu Yao, and Zhang Zhi are in the team at the peak of foundation building, while Su Yingyue and Liu You are in the middle stage of foundation building.

Si Yunzhou's senior brother, Chu Junmo, is already in the team at the peak of the Jindan stage, and is also a favorite to win the championship this time.

Soon it was the next day, and Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou went up to the early stage of Jindan together.

Everyone in the Qingying Sect listens to Si Yunzhou, and Si Yunzhou looks at Pei Cangli, wanting to hear her arrangements.

Si Yunzhou's behavior made others dissatisfied, especially the people from Suzhu Sect, who felt that Pei Cangli, a casual cultivator, was not qualified to lead them.

Although they were instructed by their master to follow the arrangements of the Qingying Sect, they were not asked to follow the arrangements of a casual cultivator.

Pei Cangli signaled to Si Yunzhou not to worry about her and just follow his arrangements, otherwise the team would fall apart before it even started.

Si Yunzhou had to make his own arrangements. He and Pei Cangli stayed behind to defend the ring. After all, they could cooperate with each other using formations, thus saving manpower, while the others all went out to attack the ring.

No one else had any objection to this arrangement. After all, a formation master was supposed to be on the defensive. This way, once the others ran out of spiritual power, they could return to the formation to rest.

A cultivator from the Suzhu Sect said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you two hide in the formation and don't have to go out, while the rest of us have to go out and fight the enemy? This is unfair."
