Although their discussion was not loud, it reached Lin Xiao's ears.
Lin Xiao frowned in displeasure and his face darkened.
Zhao Wuji stood to the side. Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, he immediately scolded the disciples, "Watch your mouths, or you will be punished according to the sect rules!"
"Yes, senior brother Wuji."
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was angry, the disciples were so scared that they shut their mouths.
Zhao Wuji's cultivation talent was outstanding. He was only in his twenties, but he had already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage. Even the Sect Leader of the Ba Huang Sect did not have such talent when he was young. Therefore, everyone in the Ba Huang Sect thought highly of Zhao Wuji, and had almost tacitly acknowledged him as the next Sect Leader.
Of course, those ordinary disciples did not dare to disobey his words.
However, although they did not dare to say anything on the surface, they were not convinced by Lin Xiao in their hearts. He was just a weakling in the Golden Core Stage who relied on his subordinates. Why was senior brother Wuji so protective of him?
"What's that sound over there?"
Seeing that Zhao Wuji had scolded the disciples, Lin Xiao could not be bothered to argue. He turned his attention to the buildings of the Ba Huang Sect and looked around. At this moment, the sound of fighting could be heard, causing Lin Xiao to raise his eyebrows.
"Oh, there's a competition over there."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji immediately explained to Lin Xiao, "This is our Ba Huang Sect's Ba Huang Grand Competition that is held once every three years. All the disciples of the Ba Huang Sect and the nearby cultivators can participate. The disciples and cultivators who win the competition can receive rewards according to their rankings. The disciple who wins the competition can become master's direct disciple."
Back then, Zhao Wuji also stood out in the Ba Huang Grand Competition and became the direct disciple of the Ba Huang Sect's Sect Leader. From then on, he walked on the path of cultivation that defied the heavens.
After all, cultivation talent was important, but cultivation techniques were also important. If there was no expert to guide them, even if they were extremely talented, they could be buried.
Therefore, the disciples of the Ba Huang Sect attached great importance to this Ba Huang Grand Competition.
The disciples who were talking about Lin Xiao outside were all disciples who were defeated in the Eight Desolation Grand Competition. Therefore, it was reasonable for them to question Lin Xiao.
When Lin Xiao heard about the Eight Desolation Grand Competition, he was also very interested. After all, he had seen so many sect competitions in Xuanhuan novels, but this was the first time he was seeing one with his own eyes.
Seeing Lin Xiao's interest, Zhao Wuji immediately suggested, "Brother Lin, do you want to come with me to take a look?"
"Sure!
Who knows, I might even be able to get some rewards if I go up and spar! "
When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately agreed and joked at the same time.
"You?
Do you think that just because you are the new City Lord of Jiangxia City, others will let you have your way? "
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, a disciple who had just been scolded by Zhao Wuji couldn't help but mock, "The participants of the competition are all masters above the intermediate stage of the Gold Core Stage, and there are many masters of the Nascent Soul Stage. With your cultivation, you can't even stand there for three seconds!"
"Oh?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the disciple. He asked unhurriedly, "What if I win the competition?
What will you do? "
"Just you?"
The disciple obviously didn't believe that Lin Xiao could win the competition. He sneered and said, "As long as you can win the competition, I will kneel down and call you father!"
"I don't have an unfilial son like you."
Lin Xiao shrugged and continued with a look of disdain, "How about this? If I win, you will give me the jade pendant on your waist."
"This …"
The disciple's expression was a little awkward.
This jade pendant was his family heirloom. He had been wearing it since he came of age. If he lost the jade pendant to Lin Xiao, his father would break his legs.
However, he thought about it again. The competition was now in the third round. Those who could stay were basically masters at the late stage of the Gold Core Stage. Lin Xiao was only at the first level of the Gold Core Stage. How could he win?
Thinking of this, he made up his mind and said with gritted teeth, "Fine!
As long as you can win the competition, I will give you the jade pendant!
But let's say this first. You have to win by yourself. You can't ask your dog for help! "
"Of course."
Lin Xiao curled his lips in satisfaction. A gleam of success flashed in his eyes.
The reason why he wanted to use the jade pendant as a wager was because the system had notified him that this jade pendant was a 'Luck Dharma Artifact'. It would be helpful to him after he obtained it.
"Wuji, lead the way."
After agreeing on the wager, Lin Xiao looked up at Zhao Wuji and ordered.
"Damn it!
Who does he think he is? How dare he speak to Senior Brother Wuji like that! "
"That's right. He is only at the first level of the Gold Core Stage. How dare he boast so shamelessly that he will win!"
"Ma Xiaoliu, you made a good bet!
We support you!
You should let this kid know the immensity of heaven and earth! "
"Let's go, let's go and watch the show. Let's see how this kid gets beaten up!"
…
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the surrounding Ba Huang Sect disciples were unhappy. They followed behind Lin Xiao and Zhao Wuji and discussed softly.
Lin Xiao obviously heard these discussions, but he didn't care.
If he could use his hands, he wouldn't use his mouth.
In the upcoming competition, he would let these Ba Huang Sect disciples know what it meant to slap their own mouths.
Seeing Zhao Wuji and Lin Xiao appear, the Ba Huang Sect's Sect Leader, Yun Youzi, walked over. He looked at Lin Xiao and said, "I heard that you destroyed the Nine Nether Sect?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiao didn't waste any time. He looked up at Yun Youzi and said directly, "I want to participate in this competition. Can I?"
"Of course."
Yun Youzi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Originally, he asked someone to invite Lin Xiao over so that he could let Lin Xiao participate in the competition and knock some sense into Lin Xiao. He didn't know how to say it, but Lin Xiao actually took the initiative to say it.
He immediately went with the flow and said, "In the next competition, your opponent is an elite disciple of our sect who has reached Golden Core Level Nine. If you can't do it, I'll arrange another opponent for you."
"Okay, he'll do."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.
This old thing really didn't have good intentions. He was even trying to provoke him?
It was a pity that he didn't care about a Golden Core Level Nine opponent at all. After all, he was a man with a Dog Beating Stick in his hand. He could even smash the head of a Nascent Soul Level Nine opponent. What was a mere Golden Core Level Nine to him?
It seemed that the entire Ba Huang Sect would be disappointed today.
"Senior Brother Buqun, is that the new City Lord of Jiangxia City, Lin Xiao?"
Behind Yun Youzi stood a beautiful girl in red with two braids. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with curiosity. She used her elbow to elbow the Ba Huang Sect disciple next to her and asked curiously.
The Ba Huang Sect disciple that she bumped into stared blankly at her beautiful side profile for a moment before regaining his senses. He solemnly vowed, "Yes, Junior Sister. Don't worry, I will definitely defeat him and bring glory to our Ba Huang Sect!"
