Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

The venue and rules of each demon tamer competition are different. One competition held in Thunder even turned into a big brawl, dividing all the demon tamers into three matches, with nearly a thousand monsters in each match. Fortunately, the Thunder venue was large enough to accommodate such a swarm of monsters.

Compared to Lei Ting, who took a wild approach, Yuhua's previous rules were much more normal, and this time was no exception. All the demon tamers were evenly divided into ten groups, and each group randomly drew lots. After each round of competition, they were divided into groups and drawn lots again. Each person had three chances. After the third round, the three losers were eliminated. In the fourth round, the three losers and one win and four losers were eliminated. In the fifth round, the four losers were eliminated... and so on, until the remaining sixteen people were divided into two groups after drawing lots. The two groups decided the strongest to enter the final.

A long time after the referee announced the rules of the game, Qin Xiao was still thinking about how it was calculated.

Mo Hanyu, who saw what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, just watch the game. You don't have anyone to support you anyway."

"How come?" Qin Xiao frowned, "Don't you support her?"

“…But she doesn’t need to worry, right?” That’s Taotie.

"What if something powerful appears?" Qin Xiao had just finished speaking when he turned his head and met Qiongqi's gaze and paused.

"You're right." Unexpectedly, Qiongqi nodded seriously, but his eyes were full of the intention to watch the show, "Then let's watch. Anyway, the kid said that he won't let him go up easily."

The game started. Qin Xiao was not very interested in watching the people entering the venue. He didn't feel anything after watching several games in a row. However, he saw Qin Jichen was very excited.

"...Why is he so excited?" Qin Xiao finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"He gambles." Qin Jinyi said with some disdain, "There is always a betting session during every competition, and he participates every time."

Qin Xiao watched a few more shows, but still found them boring.

"The monsters in these matches are not very strong, and neither are their demon tamers." Mo Hanyu whispered beside him, "There is a match in the afternoon. I heard that both sides are very strong. Come and have a look if you are interested."

Qin Xiao nodded: "I saw that there were very few demon tamers participating in Yuhua just now."

"It's normal." Mo Hanyu smiled, "There are many people who have cultivated Qi in Yuhua, and most of them focus on their own cultivation. Few people concentrate on studying magic beasts. Only the Liu family in the imperial capital is considered top-notch."

"Among the four empires, Xingchen's development is the most balanced. Although no one empire is outstanding, no one is at the bottom either. There are seldom wars in Yu Kingdom, and there is no tendency to emphasize military over literature or emphasize military over literature. All kinds of talents have been developed. Lei Ting emphasizes military over literature, and has outstanding demon tamers and Qi cultivators. They believe in governing the country by force, and it is Lei Ting that wins the title almost every session, and this year should be no exception." Mo Hanshang said to them.

Qin Xiao looked at him, nodded to show that he understood, and asked, "What about Wang Qiu?"

“…I don’t really know about that.” Mo Hanshang shook his head.

Qin Xiao turned his gaze to Mo Hanyu again.

"Over there in Wangqiu... the Qi cultivation is better, and they seem to focus more on the development of the sect." Mo Hanyu said with a smile.

"By the way, I just saw that she didn't seem to appear as Thunder." Qin Xiao thought of something else.

"...I can ask her later." Mo Hanyu said softly, "She doesn't have a match today."

The loudspeaker has now gone silent, and is only used to introduce the opposing demon tamers and the outcome of the duel.

Even so, it was still noisy.

Qin Xiao rubbed his brows. The voices of encouragement from all around him kept entering his ears, and he felt a little sleepy.

"...Our country fought very badly." Nangong Huaxue held up his chin, "We were basically crushed."

"Yuhua has too many regulations for managing monsters, and not many people have the energy and money to train those overly ferocious monsters. Naturally, it is not very outstanding." Wang Ji glanced at the scarred monsters in the venue without any expression.

Although Nangong Huaxue had known about this before, she still felt a little frustrated at not being as good as others.

"But I heard that the Liu family has raised a few magical beasts, which are said to be quite powerful, and they are preparing to show their faces in this competition." Wang Ji glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said. "And the Bai family."

"Doesn't the Bai family focus on Qi cultivation?" Nangong Huaxue wondered.

"Who knows what that old woman is thinking..." Wang Ji lowered his eyes, "Bai Shuheng just defeated Xu Qingyun a few days ago, and now he shows up here again."

In Luoyun, both the Bai family and the Xu family focus on cultivating the development of Qi cultivation. Xu Qingyun, a member of the younger generation, is considered the most outstanding one among the new generation of the Xu family.

"Maybe it's directed at you?" Nangong Huaxue stared down and said lightly.

The Wang family has produced many talented people in recent years, but none of them has a Qi cultivator as dazzling as Xu Qingyun or a top demon tamer like the Liu family. I don't know if they are intentionally restrained or if it is really at that level. In any ranking of the major families in the imperial capital, the Wang family can only be ranked in the upper class and cannot be considered the top.

Wang Ji raised his eyes and glanced at her. Seeing that her expression was normal, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Come to think of it... Bai Shuheng and Mo Hanshang are indeed very close." Wang Ji laughed, "If the two families join forces, I really can't handle it."

Although he said that, there was not much fear on his face.

Nangong Huaxue could understand what he meant. Even if the Bai family wanted to do something, it was a conflict between families. These top families were not interested in politics, nor in the power in his hands.

On this side, Yu'er stared at Mo Hanyu with a complicated expression.

He still remembered the scene when he first met Mo Ze - he forgot how long ago it was, but it was a long time anyway.

That day, he was just idle and wanted to chat with Bai Ze, but when he arrived at Kunlun, he did not see Bai Ze. He only saw a child where he often was. The child was sitting alone by the cold pond. The surroundings were cold and quiet, and there was not a ripple on the water.

Before Yu'er got close, the child looked over, his bright golden eyes emitting a cold and sharp light, as if he could see through him at a glance.

Yu'er felt something strange and was about to ask something when he heard a cold and crisp voice.

"He's not here."

The sound reached his ears, but the child's lips did not open.

"Then he——"

"I sent books to humans." The child seemed to always know what he was going to ask. Before he could say anything, he would answer, "And teach them how to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts."

"That--"

"Come back in half a month."

"you--"

"I'm not his descendant." The child said, standing up, tiptoeing in the air, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Yu'er, looking him in the eye, "You can go now."

Yu'er looked at the child in front of him: his face was still childish but full of gloom; his slender white neck was like a lotus root, which seemed to be able to be broken with a little force; his snow-white hair fell to his waist like a waterfall of sweat; his loose white robe hung to his thighs, revealing his straight white legs; his skin was as smooth and delicate as white jade; for some reason, his slender ankles were crossed and wrapped with white silk ribbons.

Yu Er hesitated: "You——"

"I'm definitely not his child." The child frowned, slightly impatient, "You can leave now."

"then you--"

"Mo Ze." Mo Ze answered, his long eyelashes trembling slightly and his face expressionless.

Yu Er was stunned, then he remembered that Bai Ze seemed to have mentioned it to him...

The turbid air that existed at the beginning of the chaos did not condense until the last few thousand years. I think it must have existed for tens of thousands of years, right? I heard that he has the ability to know everything like Bai Ze, but it seems that the evil spirit is too strong, so Bai Ze has always bound him to his side...

Just as Yu Er was thinking, the child in front of him looked gloomy: "Have you thought enough?"

Yu Er: ...

It's not you who peeked into my thoughts and yet you're so confident about it.

Yu'er didn't want to conflict with him, so she left.

Half a month later, Yu'er came again and stared at Mo Ze.

"...He changed his mind on the way and went to Wuxiang again." Mo Ze remained calm.

Yu Er: ...

Yu'er waited for another month, but still didn't see him when he came again.

"He went to the central part. A new mountain appeared there. There is resentment everywhere on the mountain..." Mo Ze had no expression on his face.

Yu Er looked for him several times but didn't see him once. He couldn't help but feel annoyed: "When will he come back?"

"I don't know." Mo Ze was still calm and composed. "If you don't want to wait, you can go find it yourself."

But Yu'er had looked for it before, but found nothing.

"Then I can't do anything about it." Mo Ze said calmly, "You can leave now."

Yu Er stared at him, not knowing what he was thinking, and sat down on the ground: "I'll wait here. Anyway, I've done what I should do with the human. I'll see when he comes back."

Mo Ze didn't seem to like this, but in the end he didn't object. He just said "Suit yourself" and went to bed.

Yu'er is actually a person who can't sit still. He has been annoying Mo Ze for a long time. Finally, one day, Mo Ze couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at him and told him to get out. Yu'er refused, so the two started fighting.

That fight... how should I put it——

Yu'er closed his eyes.

It can only be described as horrific.

Yu Er pouted. If Bai Ze hadn't finally come back to save the situation, he would have been beaten to pieces.

Looking at Mo Hanyu's sunny smile, Yu'er felt very complicated.

Qin Xiao stared at the venue until he felt sleepy. He leaned on Mo Hanyu and fell asleep.

I slept until the end of the game.

There was a break at noon, but because there were too many people in the field, it was too troublesome to move around, so most people chose to eat and drink in the field. Qin Xiao looked at the people moving around him, struggled for a moment and decided to give up and go out. He told Qin's father that he would stay here.

Qin Xiuyun looked at him and said, "Lieju will come to pick us up. We don't have to squeeze in with them."

Only then did Qin Xiao notice the magical beast hovering in the sky.

"……OK then."

Qin Xiuyun and Mo's father were obviously old acquaintances and had made an appointment to have lunch together at noon.

"I heard that the Bai family also participated in this competition."

During meals, several adults sat at one table, and the remaining children sat at another table.

Qin Yunan squeezed onto the children's table.

"Oh, the fact that Bai Shuheng defeated Xu Qingyun a few days ago is still a hot topic. What's the big deal?" Qin Jichen held his chin.

"Is the Bai family going to compete with the Liu family?" Qin Jinyi asked.

"Who knows?" Mo Hanshang picked up a full chopstick of food for him, then turned around and picked up another chopstick of food for Mo Hanyu, "Eat more vegetables."

Mo Hanyu: ...

Qin Jinyi and the others were not interested in these things either. They asked a few questions casually and then stopped, and then talked about interesting things in school.

Qin Xiao didn't understand most of what they said, so he didn't interrupt them, but only chatted with Mo Hanyu occasionally.

"Does she have a match in the afternoon?" Qin Xiao asked.

"Yes." Mo Hanyu nodded, "You can take a look at it then."

Qin Xiao hummed and stopped talking.

Qin Yun'an, who was standing next to him, couldn't get a word in, so he just focused on eating.

After dinner, Qin Xiao and his friends had nothing to do, so they went straight back to the competition venue and sat down to wait for the game.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes, leaned back and began to sleep until he was awakened by a noise in the venue.

"She is in the second game." Mo Hanyu said when he saw him open his eyes.

Qin Xiao nodded and said nothing.

The game started. The afternoon match was obviously more exciting than the morning one, probably because of the difference in strength. The two monsters wrestled with each other, their bodies covered in blood, their flesh exploded, and they looked horrible.

As Mo Hanshang watched, he glanced at Mo Hanyu with some hesitation, but saw that his expression was cold and he didn't look scared at all.

"...What will happen if the monster dies during the game?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked.

"An agreement will be signed before the game." Mo Hanyu replied, "No matter life or death."

In the blink of an eye, it was the second game, and as expected, a familiar figure appeared in the venue.

"Little sister, you're participating in the competition at such a young age?"

Qiu Puyue looked up and saw that her opponent was a man with long black hair. The man had a gentle face, a bright and sunny smile, and a gentle glow all over him.

"Yes, it is."

The audience seats were packed and the noise was deafening. Qiu Puyue was so frightened that her legs went limp. Now that she saw her opponent, she instinctively forced an ugly smile and didn't know what to say.

The opponent seemed to notice her uneasiness and smiled softly at her: "Don't be nervous, this is mainly a duel between monsters. I won't attack you."

"...Well, thank you?" Qiu Puryue asked tentatively.

"Why does she look so useless?" Qin Xiao asked.

"Just be more tolerant." Mo Hanyu closed his eyes, "You know her temper."

"Huh? Do you know each other?" Qin Jinyi was stunned.

"Yeah." Qin Xiao nodded, his face calm, "I met him there."

"How lame!"

"Knock her down quickly!"

"come on!"

The shouts of the crowd broke through the sky. Qiu Puryue was almost drowned by the sound and lowered her head even more.

She shook hands with the man as required. During the shaking, Qiu Puryue's hands were shaking uncontrollably, her palms were full of sweat, and she gave the man a very strange smile.

opponent:……

Are you really okay? Your face turned pale.

According to the regulations, Qiu Puryue took two steps back after shaking hands, and staggered again and almost fell to the ground.

"Yes...I'm sorry." Qiu Puryue even clasped her hands together and bent down to apologize to the uneven ground.

opponent:……

"I remember that girl was someone close to you, right?" In the separate room in the auditorium, Yin Fangyun looked at Qiu Puryue in the audience and smiled at Yin Xihui, "It's your first time seeing such a scene, so it's normal to be scared and unable to stand steadily."

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on him.

"Fortunately, I didn't appear under the name of Thunder, otherwise it would be too embarrassing." Yin Fangyun laughed.

Yin Xihui ignored her and looked at Qiu Puyue who was shaking in the venue. He chuckled as he thought of something.
