Junior sister took first place again

At three quarters past noon, seventy-two bronze bells in the Xingchen Sect roared simultaneously, and six people from the Xuanling Sect walked towards the teleportation array in the morning light.

Lan Ying deliberately fell half a step behind, and the green jade medicine cauldron intentionally or unintentionally blocked Ning Jiasheng's open goal on the left - this was a show of force given to the new commander by the five of them.

"Senior Sister Lin, do you want to preheat your formation flag in advance?" Shi Yan carried the heavy bronze pestle on his shoulder, and the hidden power shook the blue bricks on the ground so hard that they cracked.

Yesterday, the chief monk of Yuhua Peak suddenly appeared with this strange senior sister, and at the same time informed the other two chief monks that the Xuanling Sect’s team would be adding one more person.

That would have been fine, but this senior sister who came in with connections was the team leader and even gave up the chief position to Senior Brother Mu Zhao.

They are all direct disciples of the five peaks of Xuanling Sect, and none of them are not related.

And they can represent the sect in battle, and everyone has strong strength.

Therefore, the five people naturally refused to accept it.

Even though he had tried it again just now, it was still not enough to gain the approval of Lan Ying and other elite disciples.

Ning Jiasheng seemed oblivious, his fingertips brushing against the jade plaque at his waist. Gilded seal characters stretched across the air, forming a hundred-foot-long golden plaque:

The Xingchen Sect's 388th Immortal Sect Competition, the team competition - Jiuyao Lianheng, has officially begun.

Participating teams: 1,339

Competition Location: East China Sea Fantasy Land, Seventy-two Floating Islands (Three Thousand Sword Testing Platforms)

Rules of this game:

1. Each island hides a Five Elements Divination Slot

2. Gather all the metal, wood, water, fire and earth to advance

3. Chaos Tide Devours Three Islands Daily

4. Those who break the jade token will be eliminated immediately

Current countdown: 6 days and 11 hours

Six people from Xuanling Sect landed on Jingzhe Island.

"The tide comes from the northwest. Jingzhe Island is in the southeast, so it's safe three days before the tide."

Ning Jiasheng suddenly spoke, and the map of the East China Sea that appeared on the back of the jade token made everyone's pupils shrink slightly - this was clearly the "Nine Heavens Myriad Things Chart" secretly passed down by the Xuanling Sect, which could not be seen by anyone other than the direct disciples.

Mu Zhao's Dragon Roar scabbard trembled slightly, and the former chief finally spoke: "Senior Sister Lin, do you also study the Xingchen Sect's deduction technique?"

"I understand a little bit." Ning Jiasheng stepped into the teleportation array, and the twelve black iron flags spontaneously formed a nine-square grid. "For example, is there someone spying on the Xun position right now? - Junior Sister Qiu?"

Qiu Rumo flipped his wrist and shot out an invisible needle. The sound of metal clashing was heard in the void, and half of the scorpion's tail glowing green fell down.

"The Shadow Scorpions from the Qingming Palace." Mu Zhao's sword hadn't been unsheathed yet, but the sword energy had already crushed the other two lurking poisonous creatures. "They're targeting us."

Ning Jiasheng sighed slightly and shook his head, "I'm not talking about them."

As soon as he finished speaking, three flames flew out from his fingertips, followed by three Sky-Peeking Butterflies specially made by the Star Sect falling down, with the hexagrams still lingering on their wings.

The air suddenly became silent, and the five people had complicated expressions in their eyes. None of them noticed these sky-peeking butterflies.

Fortunately, this awkward situation did not last long. Purple mist rose from the scorched earth of Jingzhe Island, and Lan Ying's medicine cauldron suddenly hummed as a warning.

"Thousand Machines Poison Miasma, a Jindan cultivator can't survive more than twenty breaths."

She deliberately looked at Ning Jiasheng. How long can Senior Sister Lin's formation last?

Twelve formation flags were driven into the scorched earth. Three hundred and sixty-five jade talismans flew out of Ning Jiasheng's sleeves. "That's enough to find the center of the formation."

The jade talisman fell to the ground and formed a hexagram, which was actually the most basic Bagua formation used to reversely deduce the earth veins.

Shi Yan suddenly jumped up and punched Ning Jiasheng's left arm, "Let me do it!"

But the moment he touched her sleeve, she was pushed back three steps - a golden armor shadow appeared around the girl, which was clearly Yuhua Peak's Jindan stage secret skill - Xuanling Body Protection Technique.

"Have you guys had enough of the commotion?" Ning Jiasheng pointed his finger at the northeastern fissure without even turning his head. "Junior Brother Wen, determine the earthquake's location."

Wen Yan's six-line plate glowed faintly, and the taciturn junior brother suddenly made a hand gesture: "Thirty feet underground, there are remnants of an ancient formation, it seems..."

He glanced at Mu Zhao, "Sword formation."

Mu Zhao's Dragon Roar Sword suddenly unsheathed three inches, its energy cleaving the poisonous miasma. Half of the Chixiao Sect's standard sword tassel, still stained with fresh blood, was revealed beneath the scorched earth.

Following the sounds of fighting, they rushed to the Deadwood Forest, where they encountered seven members of the Azure Dark Palace encircling the Chixiao Sect. A swarm of poisonous bats from a black-robed monk had already torn through the crimson sword formation, and the leader, a bone whip protruding from his sleeve, was swiping towards the throat of their leader, Su Che.

"Kan position, Water Dragon's Roar," Ning Jiasheng suddenly called out. Mu Zhao instinctively swung his sword, and by the time he reacted, the sword energy had transformed into a turquoise wave, clearing away the poisonous mist.

Qiu Rumo's silver threads seized the opportunity to entangle the three Chixiao disciples, but Shi Yan remained where he was, "Why should I save them?"

"The Qingming Palace stole the earthen scepter." Ning Jiasheng flicked out the broken wings of a poisonous bat that were stuck on the formation flag, and Lan Ying's medicinal powder immediately revealed a yellowish-brown glow.

"And the Chixiao Sect..." She looked at the broken jade on Su Che's waist, "They have the wooden stick clue we're looking for."

Lan Ying suddenly turned the medicine cauldron upside down, and a clear light enveloped everyone: "Watch out behind you!"

Twelve shadow puppets emerged from the ground, their fingertips tempered with the Bishui Sect's special Soul Sealing Powder.

After repelling the Qingming Palace, the two teams faced off on the spot. Su Che wiped the blood from his lips and said, "We will not cooperate with any sect."

"Cooperation? No, it's a deal." Ning Jiasheng showed the jade token, the tidal countdown accelerating. "The Jingzhe Island array core requires medicinal cultivation and elixir fire, and you..."

She transformed a sword and suddenly stabbed it at Su Che's left sleeve. Half of the charred lightning-struck wood fell off with a sound. "Take the key to the formation."

The Chixiao Sect's sword formation suddenly rose, but was suppressed by the Dragon Trapping Formation that Wen Yan had set up earlier. Mu Zhao held his Dragon Roar Sword across Ning Jiasheng's body. "When did you discover this, Senior Sister?"

"When we landed on the island, the earth veins flowed in an unusual direction. Jingzhe Island, which should be a wood island, has remnants of fire spirits."

Ning Jiasheng's fingertips ignited a faint flame, melting the bark of the lightning-struck wood in front of everyone's shocked gaze. "And Junior Sister Lan's medicine cauldron..."

Lan Ying suddenly groaned, and the green flames in the cauldron surged uncontrollably towards the wood core. "It's the Scarlet Sky Sword Intent! You've marked the lightning-struck wood!"

"Same here." Su Che suddenly chuckled, and the broken jade pendant lit up with runes. "The fake earth sign that Qingming Palace snatched away should now be in the hands of Bishui Sect."

At midnight, Lan Ying's elixir fire finally melted the shadow of the wooden stick. When the seven black-robed figures arrived as promised, Ning Jiasheng crushed the talisman in his hand.

"Get into formation!"

Twelve formation flags activated the earth's veins, and the entire island suddenly flipped over. The Qingming Palace Saint's poisonous thread entangled the stone pestle, but was instead pulled into the core of the formation. "The Xuanling Sect is going to break the rules and kill people to seize the lottery?"

"The rules only say that whoever breaks the jade token is out." Ning Jiasheng raised his hand to catch the falling real wooden stick, and Mu Zhao's sword energy just cut off the opponent's jade token tie at this moment.

When everyone in Qingming Palace was enveloped by the golden light of transmission, the earthen sticks in their arms had already fallen into the hands of Xuanling Sect through teleportation.

"Happy transaction." Su Che took the wooden slab and the jade token of Chixiao Sect lit up with golden light.

Ning Jiasheng frowned as he watched the receding tide—scales were faintly reflected in the black fog.

Wen Yan suddenly pressed the cracked hexagram plate. "Something's wrong. After the tide swallowed the island, the concentration of spiritual energy is increasing..."

Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed in the air, and on the golden list, small scarlet words appeared below the original rules:

Warning: A team has collected three signs and started the second stage of the trial. The beasts at the center of all island formations are about to awaken.

"Don't waste time here, go to Fire Island."

Ning Jiasheng slapped the earthen stub into the jade token without hesitation. The moment the teleportation array lit up, everyone saw the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth - controlling the island formation and the transposition talisman at the same time, this... is really the Jindan stage of cultivation?
