Among the three outer sects, Qing Sect and Hai Sect did not have many transactions due to their geographical location.
However, although there were not many transactions, the relationship between the two sects was still good.
The reason was simple.
Although the three outer sects were called the ten sects of the Central Region together with the seven sects of the Central Region, in fact, the seven sects of the Central Region did not recognize the three outer sects and did not treat them well.
Under such circumstances, the three outer sects were more united. Although they did not have much contact, they were generally more supportive of each other when there was a problem.
Therefore, this battle between Qing Sect and Hai Sect was more or less a friendly battle.
Of course, this was the Life and Death Arena after all. Once they lost, they would die. The reason why it was called a friendly battle was that both sides had a tacit agreement beforehand. No matter who won, both sides could only send experts who were at or below the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm.
There was still a gap between the three outer sects and the seven sects of the Central Region in terms of experts above the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm. Moreover, this was the real top combat power. Therefore, the two sects could not avoid this internal battle, so they had to minimize the losses. If experts above the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm were not sent, it would be a good thing for both sides.
In order to increase the friendship between the two sects, the two sects even agreed that no matter which sect won, they would give 30% of the rewards to the other party as compensation.
On the surface, it seemed that the two sects really wanted to have a friendly battle.
In fact, both Qing Sect and Hai Sect wanted to win very much.
After all, once they won, it meant that fewer people would die. Once they won, it meant that they would get more rewards.
Therefore, although it seemed that the two sects were relatively friendly to the outside world, in fact, both sides wanted to win very much. After all, everyone wanted to get more benefits!
The reason why Lin Xiao was called by Xu Tianchong for so long was, of course, for a purpose. This purpose was to let Lin Xiao send people to fight for Qing Sect.
Lin Xiao certainly did not refuse.
After all, his relationship with Xu Qingruo was there. Helping Qing Sect was also helping Xu Qingruo.
Moreover, Xu Tianchong also gave Lin Xiao a lot of benefits!
Of course, this benefit didn't refer to Xu Qingruo. Although the two of them worked together, they had one thing in common, and that was that neither of them involved Xu Qingruo.
As for the cooperation between Lin Xiao and Xu Tianchong, it was also about Youzhou Province. Therefore, they talked until midnight.
After all, like what Lin Xiao said when he met Xu Tianchong for the first time, Qingzhou Province and Bing Province were only separated by Youzhou Province.
…
The next morning, after arriving at the arena, Xu Qingruo kept pestering Lin Xiao. She asked, "Hurry up and tell me, what did you discuss with my father yesterday? You were so sneaky and stayed until midnight!"
This …
After letting out a bitter laugh, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Of course it's about you. How did your father and I discuss betrothing you to me?"
"Shameless," Xu Qingruo said shyly.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, asked shamelessly, "Then tell me, are you willing or not?"
Xu Qingruo had nothing to say. Even if she was willing, she couldn't say it in this kind of situation.
The two of them were in a deadlock until the first round of the life and death arena officially began. Xu Qingruo rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao and said faintly, "Okay, you know my intentions. Don't force me to say it in the future."
Seeing Xu Qingruo's shy appearance, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile. However, at this time, Lin Xiao didn't continue to tease Xu Qingruo.
Because the first round's lot had been drawn, the Hai Sect would send people to the arena first.
Generally speaking, the first to send people had a higher chance of winning. After all, they were already prepared. Of course, the second to send people would be at a disadvantage. After all, it was impossible for the people they brought to be very strong in every realm.
As for the discussion between Lin Xiao and Xu Tianchong, Lin Xiao would fight two rounds for Xu Tianchong. However, in order not to arouse the disgust of the Hai Sect, Sun Wukong couldn't go on stage.
After all, Sun Wukong was too strong. Once he went on stage, it would completely destroy the balance of the arena. Moreover, it might also intensify the relationship between the two sects. However, Lin Xiao didn't care. In addition to Sun Wukong, Lin Xiao's subordinates who could go on stage were Yang Jian and Master Tongtian.
Both of them were very powerful in their respective realms. With the addition of the iron-patterned ant army, it was impossible for them to lose.
However, due to the restrictions of Master Tongtian and Yang Jian's realms, even if they went on stage, Lin Xiao could only fight against experts at the third and fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Of course, for Xu Tianchong, it was more cost-effective to let Lin Xiao's two people go on stage.
Soon, the realm of the first person from the Hai Sect was exposed.
He was at the third level of the Golden Immortal Realm, the nephew of the Hai Sect's master. He was very talented. Not only in the Jiao Province, but even in the Central Province, his name was widely spread. In fact, his realm could have broken through long ago. However, for this life and death arena, he had been suppressing his realm in order to win for the Hai Sect.
In order to raise the morale, the Hai Sect also sent him on stage first.
"Nephew Lin Xiao, I'll have to trouble you with this!" Looking at Lin Xiao, Xu Tianchong chuckled.
At this time, Xu Tianchong knew that Lin Xiao had the iron-patterned ant army. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to rashly let Lin Xiao fight. After all, without knowing the true strength of Lin Xiao, if he rashly let him fight, although it wouldn't be his people who died, it would be the Qing Sect's points.
For Xu Tianchong, winning four out of seven matches was something he couldn't afford to lose!
"No problem, leave it to me."
Glancing at Xu Tianchong, Lin Xiao chuckled. Then, he called Master Tongtian, who had been summoned in advance, in front of him.
"Is the person in the arena confident?
If you don't have to use the iron-patterned ants, try not to use them! "Lin Xiao cautioned cautiously.
Glancing at Lin Xiao, Master Tongtian slowly extended three fingers.
"What do you mean?"
Looking at Master Tongtian, Lin Xiao was a little puzzled. In the past, Master Tongtian wouldn't be so deliberately mystifying.
After hesitating for a moment, Master Tongtian slowly explained, "My Lord, you shouldn't doubt my strength. The meaning of my three fingers is very simple. Within three swords, I will take his life."
This …
Hearing Master Tongtian's words, Lin Xiao and Xu Tianchong both fell silent.
One had to know that the other party was an illustrious existence in the Central Province. Moreover, he was the first to be sent on stage, which showed that he was confident in winning. But now, Master Tongtian wanted to end the battle within three swords. Wasn't this a little too arrogant?
