The name Lu Xuan also sounded familiar to Pei Ling, but before he could think about it carefully, Li Ping had already said to himself: "Lu Xuan from the Eastern Region was once the disciple of Luo Qiao, the first elder of my Southern Region."

"He was originally a secular beggar. He became Luo Qiao's second disciple after being recommended by Luo Qiao's elder disciple. Before Luo Qiao's death, he was highly trusted and cultivated."

"In terms of cultivation, he is vaguely considered to be the number one person under Luo Qiao."

Speaking of this, Li Ping couldn't help but secretly sigh and said, "If something hadn't happened to Master Luo Qiao and his apprentice, our Southern Territory wouldn't be worried from top to bottom during this outer sect competition... That's all, let's not talk about this. In short, Luo Qiao

After Qiao's death, all his disciples died one after another, but Lu Xuan took the opportunity to defect to the Eastern Region, and in turn became our enemy in the Southern Region."

"According to the information from the Territory Lord, Lu Xuan has most likely already established a foundation!"

"He can be called one of the strongest disciples in this outer sect competition!"

"This person must be stronger than you. So whether you can make it into the top three depends on your luck."

"If you confront him in advance, it will be difficult for you to improve your ranking. In fact, if he targets my disciples in the Southern Region, he may deliberately prevent you from entering the top ten."

Pei Ling listened solemnly.

Foundation Establishment Stage... Pei Ling suddenly looked solemn. He has not fought against any Foundation Establishment monks until now. If compared with Han Sugu, then the monks at the ninth level of Qi training, including Tang Nanzhai at the time, were

In front of the other party, he is like an ant!

Although with his current strength, he could easily defeat Gong Zhiyan, who was stronger than Tang Nanzhai back then, he still thought that he could not reach the level of Han Sigu...

Of course, Han Sigu has not yet completed the foundation building of the Heavenly Way. Not to mention the ordinary humane foundation building, even the underground foundation building is far inferior to it. There is no way that there is such a monster at the outer gate this time, otherwise the domain

It’s impossible for the Lord and the elders not to know!

So I should still have hope!

Thinking of this, Pei Ling said in a deep voice: "I still need the two kinds of sword energy from last time, the more the better!"

Li Ping nodded slightly: "Okay!"

※※※

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the sword energy provided by Li Ping, Pei Ling's sword spirit improved quickly, but there was still a long way to go before he could achieve success.

But the time for the outer sect competition had come, so he had no choice but to stop practicing, leave the inner room, and go see Li Ping.

"The Territory Lord asked me to wait until we meet at the Elder Pavilion." Li Ping was in a good mood when he saw him, and said, "Let's go."

After a while, in the spacious hall of the Elder's Pavilion, except for the maids and servants standing by, there were less than ten people sitting sparsely, and the atmosphere was solemn.

When Li Ping entered and saw this scene, his expression changed slightly: "What's wrong?"

In order to prevent Pei Ling from being poached, he arrived at the right time.

Logically speaking, everyone from other peaks should be here at this time. After all, the Territory Lord will also come today. Who dares to make the Territory Lord wait?

"Something happened between Xuan Qingqing and Duanmu Mingyan." Elder Guishou Peak said solemnly, "Elder Guiling Peak and Guiliu Peak failed to protect them well. They were just punished by the domain leader to guard Gu Yuan for a hundred years. They are not allowed to leave even half a step without an edict!"

Li Ping was shocked and asked: "What happened?"

"Xuan Qingqing was attacked by a fellow junior sister and was seriously injured and dying." The elder of Feitou Peak said softly, "Duanmu Mingyan was suddenly attacked by a high-grade talisman, the Soul-Calling Flag, and his vitality was severely damaged. In addition..."

He glanced at Qin Qing beside him.

At this time, Li Ping and Pei Ling discovered that Qin Qing's face was a little pale, and Shen Zhe, not far away, also had a slightly messy aura.

The elder of Feixuan Peak continued slowly, "Qin Qing and Shen Zhe were both subjected to similar schemes. Fortunately, they were rescued in time. They only suffered minor injuries and were harmless."

After saying this, he and the elder of Ghost Hand Peak looked at Pei Ling and asked in a deep voice, "How is Pei Ling?"

Li Ping was stunned for a moment, then turned to Pei Ling: "You..."

"Disciple is fine." Pei Ling shook his head and was very surprised. A total of five disciples won the Southern Region selection, but except for himself, all of them were attacked. Xuan Qingqing and Duanmu Mingyan were even unable to fight?

"It's good that you're fine." The three elders breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Li Ping frowned: "Then what should we do now? We can't just let the three of them fight against the five disciples from other domains, right?"

"Of course it's impossible." The elder of Guishou Peak smiled coldly, "The Territory Lord has already learned about this matter, and has now gone to the Sect Master to express my grievances from the Southern Territory."

The elder of Feishou Peak nodded slightly: "Just wait for now, the domain master should be here soon."

Pei Ling's face changed slightly after hearing this conversation. Is the Southern Territory okay? The safety of the carefully selected disciples who represent the Southern Territory cannot be guaranteed?

So is it dangerous for me to stand here right now?

After all, he is the number one in this year's Southern Region selection! He is also the number one in passing the test without taking the exam!

I just changed my mind and realized something, so I felt relieved and calmed down.

At this time, Qin Qing and Shen Zhe looked at each other, and suddenly walked up to him and bowed and saluted: "Senior Brother Pei, please take care of me for this competition!"

"That's right." Seeing this, the elders of Ghost Hand Peak and Feishou Peak were not displeased. Instead, they nodded slightly and agreed, "Pei Ling, although our two peaks didn't have any affection for you in the past, the outer sect has a great competition. You and I are all the proud ones of our southern region, so we should advance and retreat together."

"As long as you are willing to support Shen Zhe, I will decide the rewards after he enters the outer sect and compete for the top ten. You can choose half of them at will." The elder of Ghost Hand Peak then promised, "If you are willing to come to Ghost Hand Peak, …”

Li Ping's face darkened: "You bastard! The Territory Lord has something to say. The competition is about to begin. You are not allowed to act in private, so as not to disturb the Tianjiao's mood. How dare you act recklessly like this!? Could it be that you don't take the Territory Lord's words seriously? "

The elder of Guishou Peak twitched his face, and then said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "I made a mistake, but the promise just made is absolutely valid."

The elder of Feixuan Peak looked on with cold eyes, and then slowly said: "I, Feixuan Peak, are the same."

Pei Ling didn't expect these two peaks to be so relaxed. He laughed dumbly and nodded slightly: "If I have the strength, I can."

After all, if things couldn't be done, he wouldn't be able to take risks for Qin Qing and Shen Zhe.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Pei!" With these words, Qin Qing and Shen Zhe were relieved. Although they did not witness it with their own eyes that day, they were later mentioned by the elders of their respective mountain peaks about Pei Ling's power.

If it were normal times, if I heard that a genius was born in Huaiyin Peak, which was at the bottom of the mountain, with amazing talent and strength, I might feel jealous.

But now the outer sect competition is coming, and the competition is not about selection. The future of this domain needs to be considered, and casualties will be controlled. The outer sect competition, which is held every ten years, is originally to select new blood for the Holy Sect that can really impress. So I never care about the cruelty of the process, I just want to be able to hone the rough jade that is most worth polishing.

With their wealth and life at stake, how can they be jealous? They wish that the genius of their domain would become stronger and stronger, and they also wish they could embrace the genius of their domain as soon as possible.

At that moment, Qin Qing took the lead to pick up the teapot next to him, poured a cup of tea for Pei Ling, and said diligently: "Senior Brother Pei, please drink tea."
Chapter completed!
