C424 Challenge
C424 Challenge
Although the matter just now was left unsettled, no one dared to underestimate this mysterious referee.
"The eleventh battle!"
Just like that, the first round of the competition quickly ended and nothing similar happened.
In total, nearly 160 young elites had participated in this Cultivator's Gathering, so the first round had involved around eighty matches. In about two days, half of the unqualified contestants had been eliminated.
This time, there were quite a few people that Qin Yun knew. Even Nangong Hao had participated in the competition, but Qin Yun still adhered to the principle of fairness and would not side with anyone.
In the evening of the second day, under the announcement of Sect Master Bai Ze, the Changbai Kingdom, after a night of rest, the second round of the competition would begin tomorrow morning.
After the first round of the competition, the biggest topic of discussion was still this mysterious referee.
Qin Yun's strength was obvious to all and he did not even bother to pay for the experts on the Heavenly Rankings.
In order to not expose his identity, Qin Yun rested in his room alone with his eyes closed. He cultivated the Dragon God Technique.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Qin Yun, who was closing his eyes, slowly opened them.
The footsteps stopped at the door, "Brother Long Jiu, Sect Master invites you to the banquet." Protector Bai's voice came from the door.
"Going to the banquet?" Qin Yun fell into deep thought. After all, it was an invitation from Long White Sect Master, so he could not reject it.
Qin Yun slowly stood up and walked to the door. He pushed it open. "Lead the way."
The matter from the past two days was naturally clear to Protector Bai. His attitude towards Qin Yun was also much more respectful than when he first arrived.
"Please." Protector Bai gestured an invitation and led Qin Yun to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall of the Long White Sect was grand and grand. It looked simple on the outside, but it was luxurious on the inside.
During this banquet, not only did Bai Ze invite experts from the Heavenly Rankings and the Divine Rankings, he also invited all the Sect Master s over. The entire banquet hall was extremely lively.
The banquet style of this banquet hall was very traditional. It was similar to how the ancient emperors treated their guests. Each person took a table, placing themselves within the banquet hall.
"Come, brother Long Jiu, come sit." The moment Qin Yun appeared, Shi Zheng called him over.
There was an empty spot beside Shi Zheng that was just for Qin Yun.
When the Sect Master saw Qin Yun sitting beside an expert of the Heavenly Rankings, they could not help but look up at him again. This was a form of recognition from the experts.
On Qin Yun's left was Shi Zheng. On his right was a middle-aged man dressed in white.
This white clothed middle-aged man was called Nie Hong and was ranked tenth on the Heavenly Rankings. He was also the highest ranked person on the Heavenly Rankings and was only second to the two experts on the Divine Rankings.
As the master of the house, Bai Ze naturally sat at the head of the table. As for the Southern City Lady and the Green Robed Saint, they sat on both sides of Bai Ze.
After more than ten minutes, all the Sect Master s and guests had also arrived, and the banquet had officially begun.
"I've already said a few polite words earlier in the day. At night, I, Bai, won't be long-winded anymore. I'll toast everyone and then everyone can do whatever you want." Bai Ze smiled at the crowd and downed the cup in one gulp.
Everyone knew that Bai Ze was speaking politely and no one would really be casual about it. Everyone raised their wine cups and downed it in one gulp.
Although Qin Yun was wearing a mask, the Dragon God Mask could be disassembled into two parts.
A faint golden light flashed across Qin Yun's face as the lower half of the mask disappeared. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
This wine was extremely fragrant, and after drinking it, it gave off a refreshing feeling.
"That's right." After finishing the wine, Qin Yun nodded to himself. Suddenly, the voice of the late Master Hui Yun sounded. Then, Green Station Mountain.
"Brother Shi, why is no one from Green Station Mountain here?" Qin Yun said to Shi Zheng beside him.
Without waiting for Shi Zheng to reply, Nie Hong smiled and said, "Green Station Mountain is a buddhist land, they naturally disdain participating in this kind of competition. Not only Green Station Mountain, even Kunlun didn't send anyone."
After Qin Yun heard his words, he looked around and confirmed that he had not come.
"Does that mean there are no more people on the Earth Board, Heaven Board, and Divine Board?" Qin Yun said with a frown.
"How is that possible? There are a lot of Karakorum Savant on the Heavenly Ranking, but there are only a few. They're all on the Divine Ranking." Nie Hong laughed as he drank his wine.
"That's right, there are a total of twenty people on the Divine Seal Decree, and Kunlun is one of the top sects amongst them." Shi Zheng laughed.
When Qin Yun heard what the duo said, he gave a vague nod.
At this moment, an ear-piercing voice resounded in Qin Yun's ears. "Country bumpkin, you don't even know such basic things."
The few of them bent towards the sound. Sitting diagonally across from them, Yan Zhangdong looked at Qin Yun with disdain as she slowly drank her wine.
"Even a country bumpkin is better than someone with a bad character like your grand-disciple! With Yan Wu's blessings, I am afraid Shi Li will not have the chance to participate in the following matches. " Qin Yun answered coldly.
"Pah!" With a sound, the wine cup in Yan Changdong's hand crumbled into dust as she shouted at Qin Yun with a deep voice.
"What did you say!?" Do you dare to say it again!? "
Shi Zheng, who was sitting beside Qin Yun, gritted his teeth as he thought of the fact that Shi Li was still lying on the bed and could not recover in a short period of time.
"Brother Yan, enough! I'm not going to pursue this matter any further, you should go back early and educate your granddisciple! " Shi Zheng said coldly.
When Yan Changdong heard the hidden meaning behind Shi Zheng's words, she could only bear with it. After all, this matter was done in shame by her own side.
"Everyone, there's going to be a sparring competition in the future. If you have fire, you can endure it for now. At that time, why not fight it out with me?" The corner of Nie Hong's mouth curved into a smile.
"Brother Nie, don't get involved in this mess." Bai Ze said to Nie Hong as he heard their conversation.
"I feel that what he said makes sense. I think it's time to change the rankings on the Heavenly Rankings!" Qin Yun stared at Yan Changdong and said.
Upon hearing Qin Yun's blatant provocation, Yan Changdong sneered and said, "Let's make a deal. After the convention, let's have a showdown!"
With that, he picked up the jug of wine beside him and drained it clean.
Qin Yun smiled as he stood up. He raised the wine cup in his hand towards Yan Zhangdong and finished it in one gulp before sitting down.
"Alright, I'll be a witness for the two of you when the time comes, haha!" Dressed in white clothes, Nie Hong also laughed and raised his wine cup.
"Don't leave us with this good news. Count us in." The remaining three experts of the Heavenly Rankings also raised their wine cups and said.
"And me." The azure-robed Sage Lord, Xi Qiu, laughed as well.
The Long White Sect Master, Bai Ze, saw this scene. There was no use speaking any further, he could only help out the situation. "Since that's the case, let's both be witnesses. Here, cheers!"
