Not long after I left, I met Jiang Dongcheng. He could be considered the person I was most familiar with in the Corpse Yin Sect. I wanted to ask him to go with me to the temple, but he seemed to have something urgent to do. After saying goodbye to me, he went in the opposite direction.
I was baffled. Jiang Dongcheng was also one of the participants of this competition. Why would he head in the opposite direction when the time set by Palace Head Liu was almost up?
I pondered for a moment, then threw this trivial matter aside and continued to walk to the middle hall.
By the time we reached the middle hall, most of the others had already arrived. Only Jiang Dongcheng wasn't there, but Hall Master Liu didn't seem to mind. He roughly nodded his head and then led us out of the middle hall. We headed towards the upper hall of the Black Zombie Cave. This year's competition would be held in the upper hall.
When I arrived at the Upper Hall, I looked up and was slightly surprised. The size of the Middle Hall wasn't small, but the Upper Hall was several times larger than the Middle Hall. The entire area in front of the Upper Hall was cleared, and it was the size of three basketball courts.
As it was only the preliminary round of the competition, the venue was very simple. Three arenas were placed in a row in the empty space. Behind the arenas was a row of judges' seats. At that moment, there were already three judges seated there.
The one sitting in the middle was Palace Master Liu. As for the other two, one of them was an old acquaintance of mine. It was Lord Hu, whom I had met when I infiltrated the Corpse Sect.
Judging from their seating arrangement, it was highly likely that these three were the three Hall Masters of the Black Zombie Cave. However, it was unknown when this Lord Hu had become a Hall Master. Moreover, from his appearance, he seemed to be a Upper Hall Master.
As I stared at the rostrum, I walked up the stage with the other members of the Black Zombie Cave. We stood according to our status and waited for the drawing of lots.
"This competition is an internal competition of our Black Zombie Cave. The rules are very simple. Two people will draw lots to fight, and the winner will enter the next round."
Just as everyone stood still, Lord Hu's voice came from the judging panel, "I hope that everyone will take this competition seriously. Anyone who wins in the first round will have the opportunity to enter the Upper Hall to cultivate for three days. If you can enter the top 100, you can cultivate for ten days and will be rewarded with a Profound Yin Leaf.
Of course, if there was a reward, there would also be a punishment. If someone clearly had a higher cultivation than his opponent, but was unable to win … hmph!
Then, be prepared to be refined into a corpse puppet! "
Facing such an important competition, the hearts of the Corpse Sect disciples were already very serious. After hearing Palace Master Hu's words, everyone's expressions became even more serious. Some people couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear.
For the disciples of the Corpse Sect, there was no punishment more severe than being refined into a corpse puppet.
I couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of the Corpse Sect. At this moment, all of the disciples present had opened five acupoints or higher and were under the age of 24. In the outside world, these young talents could be considered outstanding talents, but here, they were like pigs that were being raised. Their lives and deaths were decided by someone else's words.
'I wonder that Corpse sect disciples be so ruthless. have have have the Yang Clan've at Corpse as I Sect to be Long. in with the sect. under the Corpse sect to the Sect to the Clan.'ve with the disciples in the Corpse sect would to be under the disciples.
This Sect members in and the Sect's disciples had the stage. Sect was the Dragon to be the the Sect of the sect. under the Dynasty. in was. was.
I let my imagination run wild as I followed the crowd out of the stage and down the stage.
After we left the stage, the first round of the Sect Competition had officially begun.
I looked around. What Jiang Dongcheng had told me before was true. This was only the first match, but I could already see a disciple of the Corpse Sect being torn apart by his opponent's corpse puppet. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel.
I subconsciously sighed. They were all pitiful people who had been oppressed by the Corpse Sect to cultivate with all their might. In the end, it was just to provide bodies for those old monsters who had cultivated for many years. It was absurd and sad.
While I was thinking this in my heart, the other disciples of the Corpse Sect didn't have the same thoughts. Almost all of them were staring at the battle on the stage and cheering from time to time. The more brutal and bloody the scene was, the more it stimulated the tyranny in their hearts.
"Ah!
Isn't this Martial Uncle Wang Lin?
What's wrong?
Are you scared by this kind of scene? "
At that moment, a strange voice came from my side. I turned my head and saw that Xu Wei had unknowingly appeared next to me and was looking at me with a sinister expression.
Jiang Dongcheng had already warned me to be careful of his revenge. Although I didn't really care about it, if it wasn't necessary, I didn't want to have a deep grudge with someone whose father was a Celestial Master.
I smiled at him and didn't say a word. I turned around and walked away.
Who would have thought that Xu Wei would stick to me like a piece of dog skin plaster. He followed me all the way while saying, "Martial Uncle Wang, don't be afraid. This is just the beginning of the competition. When Martial Uncle Wang goes on stage, the scene will be even more exciting than this."
Hearing his words, I frowned and stopped walking. I turned my head to look at Xu Wei as anger rose in my heart.
This guy really didn't know what was good for him. Did he really want to die?
I still didn't reply to him, but I started to think about whether or not I could get rid of this annoying guy.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I really couldn't do anything to this guy. His father was a Celestial Master. Under absolute power, there was no way he could scheme.
If I killed him, his father would find some clues sooner or later.
Moreover, this was the Corpse Sect. At that time, I wouldn't even have a place to escape.
Whatever, I could only deal with it when it came. In short, I wouldn't let him succeed.
Coincidentally, Jiang Dongcheng appeared not far from me. I walked around Xu Wei and walked towards Jiang Dongcheng.
This time, Xu Wei didn't follow me. He just smiled at me and walked in the opposite direction.
When I arrived in front of Jiang Dongcheng, I didn't say anything. He worriedly asked me, "Martial Uncle Wang, why did Xu Wei follow you?
Does he have some kind of scheme? "
I shook my head. "Don't worry about him. This is the sect's competition. The entire sect is concerned about it. What kind of scheme could he have?"
"But …" Jiang Dongcheng seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he didn't say anything. In the end, he told me not to forget what I had promised him and let me go.
Not long after this small interlude, it was my turn to go on stage. Just as I was about to go on stage, Xu Wei took the lead in the next stage.
I was startled. Could it be that Xu Wei could really manipulate the drawing of lots?
Xu Wei stood on the stage and gave me a strange smile. Following the referee's signal to start, Xu Wei finally withdrew his head and waved his hand. His corpse puppet suddenly rushed out.
With a tearing sound, Xu Wei's Undead Hag actually tore off an arm from its opponent's Undead Hag in a single exchange.
His opponent's cultivation level was around eight sealed acupoints. He was smart. Seeing that his corpse puppet was seriously injured, he knew he couldn't win and took the initiative to surrender.
It was a pity that his opponent was Xu Wei, who didn't care about his surrender. A wind blade made of yin energy flew out of his hand. Together with his corpse puppet, he actually cut the opponent's body into several pieces.
After killing him, Xu Wei's expression didn't change at all. Instead, he turned around and laughed at me.
Without a doubt, he was demonstrating his strength to me.
I didn't pay attention to him and turned to call for the Sacrificial Evil Spirit. Then, I walked to the other stage.
My opponent was already standing on the stage. He was a skinny youth. With a glance, I could see that his cultivation level was around seven sealed acupoints. It wasn't high, but his corpse puppet wasn't ordinary. On the surface, it looked like a normal black zombie, but with a sweep of my perfect Glory of Knowledge, I found that his corpse puppet's cultivation was actually at the middle stage of Glory of Knowledge.
Middle stage of Glory of Knowledge!
According to what Hall Master Liu had said, this person should have already entered Purple Zombie Cave, but he was participating in Black Zombie Cave's competition. This was clearly illogical.
What was even more illogical was that I didn't know this black-clothed youth, but as soon as we met, he stared at me. His expression was exactly the same as Xu Wei's just now.
I sighed slightly. I understood that this was probably Xu Wei's method to deal with me.
Sure enough, it was just as Jiang Dongcheng said, Xu Wei would retaliate against me in public, but I didn't think that he would find outside help. It was probably because he lost to me before that he lost the confidence to defeat me.
