"Ha ha……"

Lan Ting laughed and said, "Boy, don't underestimate yourself. Not to mention your ability to resist demons, just the thousand-year internal energy you gained from absorbing the inner elixirs of demon gods and demon saints this time, if you can master it, it will be rare in the world, and your internal energy will be deeper than that of us old guys!"

Chen Qingzhou was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, disciple, I absolutely don't dare!"

Duan Tiannan also smiled. "This is a great thing. Why should we be afraid? You may not know that the Dragon City Competition has been held for 999 times, but no sect has ever won the championship for two consecutive years. This shows how fierce the competition is."

Chen Qingzhou was shocked again. From what he said, it seemed that the master not only wanted him to participate, but also gave him a great chance of winning! No wonder the master gave him the Yang-locking Ring, a treasure that had been with him for more than 40 years. Wasn't it just to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible?

He suddenly felt guilty, "Master, three leaders, this disciple... this disciple is not very knowledgeable and just stumbled upon this by mistake. I'm just a little bit lucky. Don't hold out too much hope..."

At this point, Duan Tiannan's smile faded and his tone softened. "Qingzhou, we also know that you are under a lot of pressure, but you are now an elder of Tianci. There are some things I must tell you."

Chen Qingzhou realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded, and listened attentively.

"This Dragon City Competition is different from the previous ones, because one year from now will be the day when the demon fire burns the city. This time in Nanman, I believe you have also felt the cruelty of the battle between humans and demons, and it will be even more cruel when the demon fire burns the city. So our five major sects and the two commanders of Dragon City have already discussed it. The sect that wins the championship in this Dragon City Competition will become the leader of all human forces in Zhongzhou and have full command of the upcoming demon fire burning the city."

Chen Qingzhou nodded secretly, it turned out that there was such an agreement.

Duan Tiannan continued, "You should understand that fighting a war requires a lot of considerations. Although casualties are inevitable, the deployment of troops and the strategies and tactics used all determine the casualties, which has a decisive relationship with the commander."

After hearing this, Chen Qingzhou completely understood that no matter which Xuanmen won, when commanding the war, they would definitely favor their own disciples tactically, so that more lives of their fellow disciples could be saved.

Chen Qingzhou immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "Please rest assured, Sect Master and the three leaders. In this Dragon City Competition, even if my life is gone, I will strive to be the champion!"

Duan Tiannan nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, I'm glad you understand our painstaking efforts. Time is running out. Don't come down the mountain these days. Practice well. If you have any questions, you can come to me directly."

Chen Qingzhou nodded heavily, "Thank you, Master!"

……

In the next three days, Chen Qingzhou did not dare to relax at all and practiced hard day and night. He really had to try his best to win this Dragon City Competition, because if Tianci was to command the war, he would definitely have certain powers, so that he could better control the situation and create conditions for the half-demon army to win.

But if the championship was won by other sects, I would probably be a cannon fodder vanguard general at most. At that time, let alone controlling the situation, I don't even know if I can survive the first day.

At noon that day, Tianci went to Haotian Palace.

Sect leader Duan Tiannan sat at the head of the hall, the three peak leaders were neatly dressed, Chen Qingzhou and other elders were also in the queue, all of them had serious expressions, no one spoke loudly in the hall, it seemed they were waiting for some distinguished guests.

Not long after, a disciple outside the hall said in a loud voice: "Please invite the eminent monk from Jinchan Temple to enter the hall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall monk walked in. He was strong and sturdy, more than three meters tall, with protruding temples and a domineering and fierce expression, like a bandit who had shaved his head. It was Yuan Chong, one of the "Three Saints of Golden Zen".

At this moment, he was holding the Vajra Subduing Demon Stick on his back and the magical weapon Huangdi Fachan in his right hand. His steps were steady yet agile, and his breath was deep and long-lasting.

This Huangdi Dharma Zen originated from the Tianci Sect. It was given to Abbot Dujian by Sect Master Duan Tiannan. It seems that it has now been passed on to the young disciples.

Yuan Chong took a few big strides and came to the center of the hall from the end. When he came in front of Duan Tiannan and other senior masters, he did not perform the usual greetings. Instead, he suddenly moved several feet to the right. It was not known whether this was a unique etiquette of Jinchan Temple.

When everyone was beginning to doubt, a fair-skinned little monk suddenly appeared where Yuan Chong had been standing. His big eyes were clear black and white and as bright as snow. He looked around as if he was very curious, like an ignorant child from a wealthy family who had been ordained. It was none other than Yuan Xin, another of the "Three Saints of Golden Zen", a famous precocious child.

The young monk Yuan Xin smiled, put his palms together and saluted, saying: "I am Yuan Xin, a young monk, and I would like to greet all the great masters of the Tianci Sect!" Although his voice was not very babyish, it naturally had the childish tone of a child.

Yuan Chong stood aside, but did not say a word. He just echoed the little monk with an "um", still looking serious and angry.

Duan Tiannan was a man of great accomplishment, so he naturally did not take it as an offense. He nodded, flicked his sleeves, and said with a smile, "You two great monks have come from afar, please take a seat."

All the chief elders smiled and nodded, returning the greeting.

Especially Chen Qingzhou, he waved slightly towards the young monk Yuan Xin, knowing in his heart that the next Dragon City Competition would be hosted by the thousand-year-old Jinchan Temple.

Yuan Xin put his palms together to express his gratitude, and was about to sit down. Unexpectedly, the guest chair given by God was about one meter high, and the chair was too big for him. Yuan Chong on the side stretched out his big hand like a giant spirit palm. The little monk smiled and lightly jumped, standing on one foot on his junior brother's palm. Yuan Chong then gently pushed his senior brother down to the seat steadily.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but smile. It seemed that although Yuan Xin was young, he was able to be the master of King Kong Yuan Chong.

After Yuan Xin sat firmly, he adjusted his ill-fitting golden robes and said with a smile, "I am here today on the orders of our abbot, Master Du Jian, to present the Dragon City Decision card. I would like to ask Master Duan to review it."

Yuan Xin spoke appropriately, and despite his young age he was calm and composed when facing the master of Xuanmen.

The Dragon City Competition will not be held until three months later. Although it is still too early to present the name card now, it can also show the importance that the Jinchan Temple attaches to the Tianci School, especially since the champion of the previous session was Tianci disciple Xuanyuan Changqing.

Duan Tiannan opened the name card and read it carefully. Seeing that no one in the hall was talking, Huo Kaishan took over the situation and asked, "Delivering the name card is certainly important, but I believe that ordinary disciples of your temple can also do it. Besides, the two nephews just returned from the battle with the Nanman. Why did you travel thousands of miles to Tianshan this time?"

Huo Kaishan asked what was in the minds of the people in Tianci. The "Three Golden Zen Saints" are the outstanding young people who have been vigorously cultivated by the entire temple in recent years. They are probably too busy with their cultivation on weekdays, so how could they have the time to come and deliver a letter?
