Master, you go first!

Therefore, after the first day of competition, Yin Deren was asked by Zhu Mo for questioning.

"You said that female cultivator is from a very small sect?"

"Well, Elder Zhu, that person's location is a small sect called Lingxue Mountain Sect in the southwest of the Nanduan Mountains.

She is the peak master of Fengmai in the sect, so she has some strength. There are only a few thousand people in their sect.

But the last time I invited him to participate in the competition, their sect actually had a mountain-protecting formation, and the level was not low. "

"Oh, a small sect with several thousand people can create a mountain-protecting formation, that's pretty powerful." Zhu Mo nodded slightly, seeming to be thinking about something in his mind.

"That's true. The last time was the sect competition two years ago. At that time, she was building a foundation and her strength was already very strong. She seemed to have good skills and spiritual skills."

"Okay, I have my own arrangements after this competition. Please step back." Zhu Mo expressed his understanding and asked Yin Deren to step back.

Yin Deren obeyed the order and retreated respectfully.

Before leaving, Zhu Mo threw him an olive branch. Let Yin Deren talk to him if he thinks about Lingyun Immortal Sect.

Yin Deren happily said hello. He planned to ask Zhu Mo to take him to Lingyun Immortal Sect after the competition was over.

For Zhu Mo, having one more Yin Deren was just one more disciple at his disposal, and it was nothing at all.

The next day.

The competition continues.

As for the knockout rounds, a full 64 will advance this time.

Then there is a duel between two. As for rewards, there are rewards for the first 16. There is no sect competition like that of small sects, with only the top few.

And the rewards are relatively better. If you can get into the top eight, you can get good rewards such as techniques and weapons.

So if you want to reach the finals, you have to play six games.

Gu Jiu looked at the contents of the rewards. He was not very interested. Basically, those things were not as good as what his sect could produce now.

He whispered to Shen Nian in the audience,

"Master, do you want those rewards? Or do you want rankings?"

Shen Nian thought for a while and said,

"Actually, I don't even want it. Do you believe it?"

"Hehe, then let's not give up. Can you accept failure in the first game?"

"Yeah. I think it's quite boring. Those things are not as good as what you made now, and they are not attractive to me."

"Well, aren't you happy to have an apprentice?" Gu Jiu said cheekily.

"What do you think?" Shen Nian smiled knowingly.

The way the two of them were muttering caught Zhu Mo's eyes on the stage, and Zhu Mo was worried.

When the competition started, Zhu Mo said something to the ancestor of the sect next to him.

The opponent Shen Nian matched this time was Yin Deren.

After taking the stage, Yin Deren also put on a more serious posture. After all, he watched the entire fight between Li Yuzhu and Shen Nian, and knew that Shen Nian should not be underestimated.

However, after just a few moves, Shen Nian started to fake the match.

Seeing Yin Deren perform a move that was not very powerful, Shen Nian paused when he jumped up, activated the black shield, calculated the strength, just enough to offset the attack, and at the same time ejected himself out of the field.

Yin Deren won the competition inexplicably. Shen Nian, on the other hand, returned to the auditorium calmly.

All the Guangming Sect disciples in the audience cheered and said hello. And only Yin Deren himself knew that the other party was letting off steam, and it was exaggerated.

Naturally, these little tricks couldn't be hidden from Zhu Mo on the high platform. He thought for a while and said a few words to the ancestor next to him. The ancestor nodded.

Shen Nian just sat in the audience. Gu Jiu gave her a thumbs up and continued to pat the rainbow fart.

"Master, you lose so elegantly. It's amazing."

Shen Nian covered his mouth and laughed when he heard this.

However, she smiled and then stopped, her expression serious.

Gu Jiu was still grinning and pretending that the angle of her flattery was perfect. Little did he know that at this time, Shen Nian was being heard from the ancestor of the Lingyun Immortal Sect.

"Girl, come to Lingyun Immortal Sect after the competition. We, Elder Zhu, are going to accept you as a direct disciple. We will give you three days to make a settlement with the disciple next to you. Don't come to our sect and cause trouble. Remember. No, don’t think about rejecting it. This is a notification, not an invitation. If you don’t want the people around you to get into trouble, it’s best not to be clever.”

When Shen Nian listened to the message, he felt bad for a moment. Looking back at the high platform blankly, Zhu Mo smiled and nodded at her.

At this moment, Shen Nian had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't want to go to Lingyun Immortal Sect. But the other party has made the matter so clear. If she refuses or runs away, the other party will definitely cause trouble for the sect.

Moreover, the other party particularly emphasized Gu Jiu beside her, and she did not want anything to happen to Gu Jiu.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, making Shen Nian's face turn pale immediately. He sat there with his eyes blankly watching the monks on the stage beating back and forth without blinking.

Gu Jiu had fun by himself for a short while and found that something was wrong with Shen Nian. He waved his hand in front of her eyes,

"Master? What's wrong? You won't regret losing the competition, will you?"

Shen Nian was brought back to consciousness by Gu Jiuhuang. Showing him a bitter smile,

"No, it's okay. Let's watch the competition. After that, go back to the sect as soon as possible."

"Oh well."

Although Gu Jiu felt it was a bit strange, he didn't know what was strange, so he listened to Shen Nian and continued to watch others compete to gain some experience.

By the time everyone finished the competition, it was already very late and the sun had set.

Originally, Gu Jiu was bored and wanted to return to the sect early, but the people from the Guangming Sect said that the mountain protection formation would not be opened before the competition was over, so he had to wait until the competition was over.

After it was over, it was too late to check the time, so Patriarch Yuan asked the two of them to ride on his flying sword, and soon returned to the sect.

"Ancestor, it's so good to transform into a god. This speed is really amazing. I thought it was amazing when the sect master took me along. You are really a unique child, you can't even see the afterimage." Gu Jiu sighed.

"Hmph, then you should practice more diligently, and you can do it in the future."

Patriarch Yuan hummed twice, sent them back to Danfeng, and then left for the Library Pavilion.

Back at his residence, Gu Jiu shook his head and said with a smile,

"Master, are you motion sick? Why do I feel a little dizzy?"

"It's okay, let's go and rest."

After saying that, Shen Nian went up to the second floor alone, went back to his room and closed the door.

Gu Jiu stood alone in front of the small villa and was stunned. What was going on? Normally, Shen Nian would not go back to the room so simply. At least he would go to the study on the second floor to read a book before resting.

Not knowing why, Gu Jiu went back to the rooftop terrace of his building. He didn't want to sleep yet. It was night, but not too late. Ancestor Yuan's flying sword was so fast that it didn't take half an hour to get back from the Guangming Sect.

He lay down on the rocking chair and looked at the stars in the sky. He felt a little depressed and didn't know what was going on.

Maybe Shen Nian's abnormal behavior would have affected him later today, but he didn't know it yet.
