Chapter 211 Clouds for the Sky
The time has not yet arrived, and the disciples of each family have spread out in four directions, leaving the center of the venue clear. At this moment, the elders of each family are greeting each other in that open space.
Lin Xia keenly discovered that the atmosphere between the elders of the Zhou family and the Shangguan family was a bit subtle, and they didn't pay much attention to each other.
As relatives by marriage and both from the same Cang Qiong Continent, such a relationship is really strange.
However, Lin Xia did not remain confused for too long, as an elder from the Ji family stepped forward, nodded to the elders from various families, and then stood in the middle of the venue.
This elder is the fifth elder of the Ji family, named Ji Changyuan. He has a high status in the Ji family and is very powerful. He is the leading elder of the Ji family in this competition.
He is also the elder with the highest cultivation level among all the elders in the field, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
As the organizer of this competition, Ji Changyuan is the strongest security sent by the Ji family.
Ji Changyuan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Hello fellow Taoists! I am the fifth elder of the Ji family. Welcome to my Yaoguang City!"
"I believe you all understand the importance of this competition. Each of you disciples is fighting for your own clan. You should be clear about what to do."
"Okay, now let me explain the rules of this competition again."
"Later, all disciples will step onto a teleportation array according to their respective families' locations. This teleportation array will randomly teleport each family's disciples to any location on Feixian Island. That will be the starting point of your competition."
"Also, there are twenty checkpoints on the island. Every time you clear a level, you'll get a prize. The family that gets the prize will receive 100 points."
"The monsters and spiritual herbs on the island have also been divided into points according to their levels."
"Regardless of which family the disciple comes from, the prizes won, the monsters killed, and the spiritual herbs picked will all belong to the original disciple. The Ji family will not interfere. We will only calculate the points. The subsequent ranking will be assessed based on the total points earned by the disciples of each family."
"Remember! Act within your capabilities! And don't intentionally harm anyone's life!"
Ji Changyuan looked around and continued, "Also, during the competition, the elders of each family must not take action unless the life of a disciple of their family is at stake!"
As soon as Ji Changyuan finished speaking, the monks below began to talk among themselves, rubbing their hands, eager to show off their skills.
With the elders protecting them, they wouldn't die anyway, and they could get prizes and cultivation resources. What cultivator wouldn't be tempted? And they could also contribute to the family.
The same is true for the disciples of the Shangguan family, except Shangguan Jingyu and Shangguan Yanxi.
One was in a state of disarray and confusion; the other was in shock and confusion, filled with murderous intent.
Lin Xia stood there expressionlessly, feeling the two gazes coming from different directions, clenching her hands, thinking about her next plan in her mind.
At this time, Ji Changyuan made another move. He waved his hand, signaling the disciples to be quiet. "Now, each family will send one disciple up to receive the photo stone."
An elder of the Shangguan family who was standing in front of the Shangguan family team turned around and looked at Shangguan Jingyu. Seeing that he looked like his soul was wandering outside the three realms, he hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shangguan Yanxi. Seeing that he also looked absent-minded, he shook his head with some tiredness and sent Shangguan Yanyan up.
This photo stone is extremely important and has a special mark on it. It will be given to the leaders of each family to record all the performances of the family on Feixian Island so that the points can be calculated later.
Originally, the leader of the Shangguan family was Shangguan Jingyu, but now he was replaced at the last minute.
After distributing the photo stones, it was time for the disciples from each family to enter the teleportation array, and the competition was about to begin.
However, this time, there was a problem with the teleportation array prepared by the Ji family.
"What's going on? Why is there no response?"
"It seems that there is a problem with the teleportation array over there."
"That's not right! This spiritual light, the formation has clearly been activated?!"
……
Seeing that the formation prepared in advance had no response, the disciples started talking again. The faces of several elders of the Ji family turned visibly ugly. Wasn't this a slap in the face of their Ji family?
Not only that, the elders from various families who had come to Feixian Island for the final check-up were also a little confused, as everything was obviously fine before.
In the crowd, an elder from the Shangguan family stepped forward to inspect the situation. His expression was grim as he said, "There's something strange. The formation has been tampered with, leaving it in a hollow state. Furthermore, judging by the technique, the person who tampered with it must be of a very high level of skill."
Upon hearing this, Ji Changyuan's face darkened. Who on earth was this person? Why would they do such a thing on their Ji family's territory?
Is he grudge against the Ji family and specifically targeting them, or is he targeting some other family on the scene?
Ji Changyuan was a little confused for a moment.
At this moment, the clouds that had been hanging over everyone's heads began to move.
Ji Changyuan immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, "Be careful, there are people in the clouds!"
It was not until then that everyone realized that the clouds above their heads had not changed at all. It was obvious that someone in the clouds had been paying attention to the movements below. It was frightening to think about it.
The man above the clouds had obviously made the noise on purpose, but now that he was exposed, he simply stopped hiding.
The clouds were broken, and an old man with a white beard appeared to everyone's astonishment.
"Who are you? Why are you targeting my Ji family?" Ji Changyuan asked sternly when he saw the old man appear.
Seeing the old man appear, Lin Xia was so shocked that her eyes widened in the crowd. It was because she knew this old man.
Moreover, in Lin Xia's opinion, it was impossible for this person to appear here.
This old man was none other than Master Yun, who had his apprentice Yun Cong teach Lin Xia how to refine weapons in the weapon refining shop in Tieshi City.
No, it should be teaching Xia Lin. At that time, Lin Xia was wanted, so he had been in contact with Yun Cong and Master Yun as Xia Lin.
Lin Xia had always thought that Master Yun was a native of Tieshi City, but she was surprised to see him appear in Tianyan Continent.
Master Yun did not answer Ji Changyuan's question, but stood in mid-air and looked in the direction of the Shangguan family.
The cultivators' gazes also shifted to the direction of the Shangguan family, following Master Yun's gaze.
The difference is obvious at first glance.
Except for the younger generation of the Shangguan family, all the elders of the Shangguan family changed their expressions drastically, obviously recognizing the old man standing in the air.
"Shangguan Qian, what's going on?" Seeing this, Ji Changyuan threw the question to the elder of the Shangguan family. In a hurry, he actually called Shangguan Qian's name.
Shangguan Qian: “…”
"Hahahaha!" Seeing Shangguan Qian's silence, Master Yun in mid-air burst into laughter. "What's the matter? Don't you recognize me? Or are you afraid to admit it? Do you, the Shangguan family, think that by killing my entire Yun family, you can hide everything you did?!"
"You...you are Yun Weitian?!" Ji Changyuan asked suddenly as if he had thought of something.
