Holding the sword and holding the sister away

The Immortal Ceremony is a grand event on the entire continent, and almost all immortal cultivators are extremely looking forward to the arrival of this day.

There are still three months left before the official start of the grand ceremony, and the crowds of the major forces have already started to leave for the Central Capital early, as if they were afraid that they would be one step too late.

After all, such a big event, we don't want to miss it easily.

At the same time, all the disciples and elders of Shuanghua Palace in the Southern Region were full of excitement and made all preparations. It seemed that they could set off for the Central Capital at any time.

It's just that at this time, the palace lord Fu Yan had gone out and hadn't returned yet, so everyone had to force themselves to calm down.

In the past three years, the disciples and elders who have been selected have undergone special training, and their strength has indeed been greatly improved. For a while, it can be said that the entire Shuanghua Palace is full of fighting spirit.

And Shui Liuqing, who was one of the five elders of Huaxu stage, also practiced in seclusion on her own mountain two years ago.

Time was already tight, and Shui Liuqing knew that it was obviously impossible for her own cultivation to improve quickly, so she purposely retreated to strengthen her natal puppet. Although the current puppet is still far away from the Mahayana stage, but in In the realm of the Great Perfection of the Void Transformation Period, the strength is already considered to be very top-notch.

The only shortcoming of the puppet is that it does not have the quick thinking of a cultivator, and the temporary reaction may be slower. Compared with the Dzogchen cultivator in the transformation period, there is really no difference.

Not only that, during these two years, Shui Liuqing specially refined a second puppet for herself, but because of time and material constraints, the strength of the second puppet was only able to reach the middle stage of virtual transformation That's all.

Of course, it is very good to have the current strength, at least it can help contain the opponent in the battle.

In the Immortal Gate Grand Ceremony, even though it was a one-on-one competition, it was completely in accordance with the rules to bring puppets or spirit beasts.

Shui Liuqing majored in puppet art.

In this Continent of Immortal Cultivation, there is no such thing as fairness. As long as the means are normal, all you see is strength.

In this way, Shui Liuqing has a little more confidence in her participation in the Immortal Gate Ceremony. With the two puppets and herself, no matter how evil and genius she meets, she has the strength to fight.

In the basement, Shui Liuqing looked up at the two puppets in front of her eyes, and couldn't help but exhale deeply.

Knowing that there are not many days until the Zhongdu Xianmen Ceremony begins, she is finally ready now, and it is time to leave the customs.

Thinking of this, Shui Liuqing in the basement didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly put away his puppet with a wave of his hand, and took a breath-regulating elixir by himself, simply consolidating his own strength. Stepped out of here.

Outside the mountain's mansion, the enchantment that Shui Liuqing had set up due to his retreat and practice before disappeared in an instant.

But within an hour, I saw a ray of light flying up from far away, and in an instant, I saw a figure falling straight down, with water flowing outside the mansion of Qingshan Peak.

It was Ming Xi who came.

Because of holding a five-headed snake, Ming Xi also won one of the places in the Huaxu Qi competition. Her experience in the competition is pitiful, so she is naturally a little nervous about this matter.

Fu Yan was often not in Shuanghua Palace, or couldn't find the other party's figure, and Ming Xi was most familiar with Shui Liuqing, and when she realized that the other party had finally left the customs, she ran over immediately.

"Sister Shui, you're finally out!"

In the silent mansion, Ming Xi had just walked in, and before seeing the figure coming out of the clear water, she spoke with a happy face.

Shui Liuqing saw that Ming Xi came in such a hurry, she couldn't help but think of something, and quickly asked: "Are you going to leave for Zhongdu? Ming Xi, wait for me."

Saying that, Shui Liuqing began to pack her things.

Hearing this, Ming Xi was stunned for a second, then regained consciousness in an instant, and quickly explained with a smile: "No, no, sister Shui, don't worry, the palace lord hasn't come back yet, and there are still three months before the grand ceremony begins. "

After hearing this, Shui Liuqing finally came to her senses belatedly. It seems that she had miscalculated the time during her retreat.

Dazed for a moment, Shui Liuqing shook her head helplessly, then quickly beckoned Mingxi to come into her mansion, then entered the room and changed her clothes, and the two sat together under the pavilion in the yard.

Ming Xi casually took a piece of snacks on the table, looked up at Shui Liuqing while eating, and said a little excitedly: "Is Sister Shui already ready for this fairy gate ceremony?"

"It's okay, I shouldn't lose so badly." Shui Liuqing looked at the other party's greedy child, couldn't help smiling, and stretched out his hand to push the plate with the heart forward.

"Big Sister Shui has already broken through to the late stage of Void Transformation. She has been practicing in closed doors for so long, so she must be able to do it." Ming Xi casually ate a piece of snack in her hand, her face suddenly fell down, and she sighed softly and said: "I was I have never participated in this kind of competition before, so I am so nervous, I have tried to break through to the middle stage of Void Transformation in the past few years, but I have failed."

Obviously, when she broke through to the Void Transformation Stage, it was as simple as taking a nap, but these years she has remained in the early stage, thinking about it, Ming Xi is a little depressed.

After saying that, Shui Liuqing on the opposite side couldn't help but chuckled. In fact, Fu Yan had already said that Ming Xi's failure to break through was entirely due to her lack of balance in her mentality, but she really needed to go through some training.

"Don't be nervous, as long as you and Xiao Wu cooperate well, you can definitely win this competition." Shui Liuqing handed the other party another piece of dessert.

Xiao Wu is Ming Xi's five-headed snake.

In fact, the strength of the five-headed snake is not impressive. Basically, few of them will be its opponents during the Void Transformation period. How to coordinate with your spirit beast.

For this reason, Fu Yan specially made a training plan for Ming Xi before.

In the past three years, her cooperation with the five-headed snake has improved a lot, Ming Xi just lacked some confidence.

"Well, I know." Ming Xi settled down, reached out to take the snacks, and said to herself, "I will definitely stabilize my mood before the competition. The Palace Master said that this competition is very difficult." Important, I can't hold back our Shuanghua Palace."

After speaking, she took another small bite of the snack and smiled very satisfied.

Shui Liuqing nodded and said a few words of comfort.

She suddenly thought of Ji Qingjue, Hualing Valley would definitely participate in this Immortal Gate Grand Ceremony. Two years ago, the strength of the other party had been successfully upgraded to the peak of the Great Perfection in the Void Transformation Period. This time the competition will definitely be generous and glorious.

Thinking of something, a happy smile appeared in Shui Liuqing's eyes.

Reaching out his hand to secretly touch the puppet that he and Ji Qingjue used to communicate in his bosom, the corners of Shui Liuqing's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

I don't know if she is still practicing now, Shui Liuqing thought.

After a long while, Shui Liuqing's thoughts slowly came back to her senses, she looked down at the snacks that Ming Xi had almost finished eating, she was not surprised at all, she looked at the other party and asked: "By the way, What happened to the palace lord, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Three months is neither long nor short. After all, at this time everyone has already started to go to the Central Capital, but Fu Yan has not shown up yet, which is obviously a bit strange.

Ming Xi paused, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head truthfully: "I don't know either, Senior Lu just said that we will get up and go to Zhongdu when Sister Fu Yan comes back."

From the looks of it, Lu Xiaowen should know something.

For some reason, Shui Liuqing suddenly thought of the conditions for participating in the Immortal Ceremony. Their Shuanghua Palace still only has Lu Xiaowen as an immortal, and it is probably because of this that Fu Yan went out and did not return.

"Maybe, Sister Fu Yan said before that this problem can definitely be solved." Ming Xi listened to Shui Liuqing's conjecture, paused, and said truthfully.

Shui Liuqing nodded, naturally she did not doubt what Fu Yan said before.

……

Fu Yan's trip was indeed to solve the problem of the immortals in Shuanghua Palace.

But on the way back, Fu Yan suddenly got a message from Bai Yueli, it turned out that the other party's second catastrophe finally came.

Bai Yueli's status is special, so she definitely can't easily pass the tribulation outside. If other immortals find out by accident, someone might cheat secretly. At that time, failure to cross the tribulation will be a minor issue, so the damage to the foundation will be the biggest. trouble.

Moreover, ordinary demon cultivator disciples in the Demon Realm don't know that the Demon Lord has already changed hands. Because of some unnecessary troubles, Bai Yueli can't cross the tribulation in the Demon Realm either.

As a last resort, Bai Yueli could only ask Fu Yan for help.

After all, Fu Yan held the Xu You Yu Seal in his hand, and the space inside formed a world of its own, so he would not have any worries at all. Last time, Bai Yueli passed the tribulation for the first time, and it was in it that Bai Yueli went smoothly.

After getting this news, Fu Yan was naturally happy for Bai Yueli at the first moment, waiting to successfully survive the second catastrophe, thinking that the opponent's strength should be greatly improved again.

The time in Xu Youyu's seal is different from the outside, and Bai Yueli's kung fu for crossing the catastrophe will not delay other things at all, so Fu Yan immediately came to the Demon Realm.

Bai Yueli could already feel that the power in her body was wandering around, and it was estimated that there would be signs of catastrophe soon.

When Fu Yan came, the two of them didn't have any delay, they directly entered the Xu Youyu Seal together, and after seven or eight days in it, there were finally dark clouds gathering in the sky.

"Boom"

The next moment, there was a huge sound of thunder coming from the sky. Seeing this, Fu Yan couldn't help but dodge to make room for Bai Yueli to cross the catastrophe, and at the same time, she hurriedly said: "Senior sister, be careful."

The catastrophe belonged to Bai Yueli herself, just like last time, she still tried not to use half of the original demon lord's power in the process of crossing the catastrophe, and could only rely on Bai Yueli's own power.

"Yeah." Bai Yueli looked back at Fu Yan and nodded, then she moved and appeared in the middle of Xu Youyu's seal.

There was only a "click", and a thunderbolt suddenly struck down straight.

Bai Yueli's expression was concentrated, without any hesitation, she turned her hands over and faced the falling thunder head-on. For a moment, a huge energy fluctuation resounded in the entire sky.

With the previous experience of crossing the catastrophe, this time Bai Yueli went much smoother in the early stage, but as the thunder became more and more powerful later on, she still didn't feel so easy.

"buzz"

Soon, Fu Yan below saw the devilish energy in the sky trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on Bai Yueli's body, her brows subconsciously frowned.

It seems that he is unwilling to miss any second.

Fortunately, every time the thunder fell, Bai Yueli was able to save herself from danger. Apart from the serious consumption of power, she never suffered any harm.

As the time in Xu Youyu's seal passed quietly, Bai Yueli's second catastrophe finally ushered in the last one.

Rumble

Suddenly, there was another muffled movement in the thunderclouds in the sky, and when the last thunder fell, Fu Yan's brows were furrowed again, and she already felt that Bai Yueli's breath was a little unstable.

Moreover, the whole body of this thunderbolt is actually flickering, a blue-white light, just a casual glance, you can feel how terrifying the power contained in it is.

It is not easy to withstand this thunder.

Staring helplessly at the fall of Tianlei, Fu Yan subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but reason still made her stop.

She believed that the senior sister would definitely be able to survive this catastrophe with her own strength!

Thinking of this, Fu Yan couldn't help suppressing the worries in her heart, and then stared at Bai Yueli's figure.

At this moment, beads of sweat were dripping from Bai Yueli's forehead. She had exhausted a lot of strength, but she was not discouraged by it. Her clear eyes were full of determination.

In the next second, she stretched out her hand again, and all the power gathered in front of her in an instant, and the monstrous devilish energy almost drowned half of Xu Youyuyin.

The mighty thunder still descended straight down.

Bai Yueli's figure was like a ghost, rapidly shuttled through her own devilish energy, leaving afterimages in a hurry.

"Bang! Bang!"

Soon, there was a huge collision of forces in the sky. Fu Yan saw Bai Yueli being pushed down little by little, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but twitched.

Bai Yueli didn't think about resisting the thunder once, but bumped into it three or four times back and forth, and finally exhausted all the strength of the thunder.

The robbery is finally over.

At that moment, Fu Yan didn't hesitate at all, and directly appeared in mid-air, and then reached out to hug the exhausted and crumbling Bai Yueli.

"Senior Sister!" Bai Yueli's bloodless face came into view, and Fu Yan couldn't help being startled.

But Bai Yueli forced a smile, and said with some difficulty: "It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry."

Hearing this, Fu Yan could only respond quickly.

In an instant, he had returned to the ground with Bai Yueli in his arms. Fu Yan hurriedly took out the elixir and the elixir, and then helped the latter to eat them slowly.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Yan stared at Bai Yueli closely, and said cautiously: "How is senior sister feeling, can you breathe smoothly?"

Bai Yueli gave a soft "um", slowly supported Fu Yan's arm, and sat up straight, the blood on her face finally eased a lot: "It's nothing serious, it's just a little internal injury."

Fu Yan nodded, it was very common for Du Jie to suffer internal injuries, but she still felt very distressed when she saw the weak figure in front of her.

The two continued to rest on the ground for several hours, and Bai Yueli's breath finally recovered a lot. She could feel the strength in her whole body, as if a transformation had taken place.

"Okay, I'm fine." Bai Yueli stretched out her hand to touch Fu Yan's face, and continued with a smile: "The Zhongdu Fairy Ceremony is about to begin, you should go back to Shuanghua Palace."

Bai Yueli is indeed just a little internal injury, she will be fine after a few days of recuperation, it's not a big problem, Fu Yan also knew that she should go back to Shuanghua Palace, so she couldn't help but replied sullenly: "Yes."

Seeing this, Bai Yueli couldn't help but laugh.

Fu Yan had no choice but to reach out and hold the hand on her face, then put it on her lips and kissed it, raised her eyes and stared at Bai Yueli and said: "Put the Xu Youyu seal here first, the senior sister just broke through , and it will take time to consolidate.”

Bai Yueli did not refuse this proposal.

As Fu Yan said.The power in her body that just broke through has not yet stabilized, and it really needs time to consolidate. Since Fuyan is going to play in the Immortal Ceremony, Bai Yueli has already prepared to go there secretly. If there is no Xu Youyu Seal, I am afraid it will take a lot of time .

In the end, she instructed Bai Yueli to cultivate herself here, and then Fu Yan stepped out of Xu You Yuyin.

Without further delay, she returned to the Shuanghua Palace in the Southern Region without stopping, alone, and finally went directly to Lu Xiaowen's Wenzhi Peak.

Because she wanted to participate in the Xianmen Ceremony, Fu Yan had to show her full strength, so she temporarily withdrew the mind of the puppet avatar early in the morning, and concentrated all her strength.

Just like this, after Fu Yan went out this time, there was no sign of her or her avatar in Shuanghua Palace.

On Wenzhi Peak, Fu Yan said to Lu Xiaowen who was in front of him: "It's time to go."

Seeing that only Fu Yan came back and no other immortals were seen, Lu Xiaowen was a little surprised. He couldn't help but make a final confirmation: "Everything... is it ready?"

"Ready." Fu Yan replied with a smile. He knew what the other party was worried about, and he still had a firm expression on his face: "The other two immortals from our Shuanghua Palace will join us in the middle period."

After saying that, Lu Xiaowen couldn't help but frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

"Then get ready to go." He seemed to respond casually.

After coming down from Wenzhi Peak, Fu Yan did not rush to inform everyone to get ready to go, but took the lead in confirming ten disciples and five elders to participate in this matter.

A group of people had a brief discussion in the main hall.

After confirming that there were no other problems, Fu Yan asked them to go back and inform them. In the morning of tomorrow, they were immediately ready to set off and take the spirit ship to the Central Capital.

The news spread quickly among the disciples.

"The Palace Master is finally back. I heard that tomorrow you can go to the Central Capital to participate in this Immortal Ceremony!"

"I'm finally going to Zhongdu. I can't wait. Everyone says that Zhongdu is a land of outstanding people. People with monsters and geniuses are springing up like mushrooms. Now I have to take a good look!"

"It seems that only our Shuanghua Palace is preparing to participate in the competition in the entire southern region. The disciples of other sects used to watch the fun!"

"..."

All of a sudden, all the disciples couldn't help discussing this matter.

Fu Yan didn't care about these, she returned to her Xingyue Peak on her own, and had a good night's rest.

In the morning of the next day, everyone had gathered together.

Last time they went to the bottom of Youxin Lake, they brought back a lot of resources, and also got a few large spirit ships. This trip to Zhongdu came in handy.

Of course, not all the people from Shuanghua Palace will go to Zhongdu this time. It's not that Fuyan forced some people to stay. It's just that some senior elders or disciples who are obsessed with cultivation have no intention of going to watch the battle.

Except for the people who participated in the competition, whether to go or not is up to one's own wishes.

Not long after, the two large spirit ships were filled with disciples from Shuanghua Palace. Fu Yan raised her eyes and glanced at the crowd, then raised her hand to signal the formal departure.

But at this moment, Lu Xiaowen landed alone in front of the gate of the entire Shuanghua Palace. He paused for a moment, but without any further hesitation, he directly raised his hand, and a huge pillar of light shot out from his hand.

"buzz"

In an instant, there was a huge vibration coming from the entire Shuanghua Palace, and in less than a moment, the shadow on the snow-capped mountain was re-sealed in an instant, and the Shuanghua Palace could not be seen from afar. .

The basic main force is gone, if the corpse gate or other people take advantage of it at this time, it will be over, so Lu Xiaowen directly blocked it again.

Of course, the disciples inside can come out, but if you want to go in, you need to wait for them to come back.

The Immortal Ceremony lasted for a few months at most, but it didn't have much impact.

After finishing all this, Lu Xiaowen quickly returned to the spirit ship of Shuanghua Palace, nodded towards Fu Yan, and returned to his room without hesitation.

The disciples on the spirit boat were all looking forward to this trip to the central capital. Looking at them, Fu Yan suddenly felt that his idea of ​​revitalizing Shuanghua Palace was indeed right.

"Sister Fu Yan!" Ming Xi ran into Fu Yan's room from nowhere, maybe she was very familiar with Fu Yan since she was a child, she still called her elder sister when no one was around, and only called Palace Master outside.

Fu Yan sat at the side casually, raised her eyes and looked at the other party: "What's wrong?"

Ming Xi's expression seemed to be a bit tangled, as if she was thinking about how to speak, but Fu Yan was not in a hurry when she saw her, she just waited for her.

After a long time, Ming Xi finally let out a long breath, looked at Fu Yan and continued, "Sister Fu Yan, this time the Zhongdu Fairy Gate Ceremony, will the Ming family... also go there?"

Hearing this, Fu Yan couldn't help but pause, she forgot that the Ming family is also in Zhongdu.

"Although they won't participate, they should go to watch the battle." Fu Yan still gave the answer normally and truthfully.

Ming Xi actually doesn't want to face the Ming family anymore.

Fu Yan understood this, and said softly: "Don't worry, you are you, and have nothing to do with the Ming family."

Ming Xi took a deep breath, and her eyes became serious: "Well, what Sister Fu Yan said is true, I understand!"

For the Ming family, Fu Yan really didn't take it seriously, after all, the current Shuanghua Palace can support several Ming families.

After nearly a month and a half, they finally arrived in Zhongdu.
