"I heard that you want to torture me?"

Mi Xingli heard this voice and couldn't help but raise her head, coincidentally making eye contact with Zhao Ning.

For a moment, their eyes met.

From Zhao Ning's eyes, she saw a hint of amusement, a touch of politeness, a bit of caution, and a trace of indifference.

It was that precise.

She couldn't help but feel confused.

Although she did have the intention to snatch the position of the prince's wife, she hadn't put it into practice. Even if she occasionally got closer to Ying Wuji, a man shouldn't be able to sense it, right?

Even Hua Chao only had occasional suspicions.

After she casually explained, Hua Chao dismissed her doubts.

So why did Zhao Ning have a hidden hostility towards her?

No!

Mi Xingli suddenly thought of a saying. Actually, men are very childish. Those who have little experience in love, when they encounter a woman they like, their first reaction is to provoke her!

It's normal to deliberately show hostility.

Although Prince Ning is indeed a rare talent, he is burdened with political affairs all day long. He got married at a young age, but he only appears on rare important occasions, and their marital relationship doesn't seem that good.

And look at Xiang Ding's miserable appearance.

This confrontation clearly has an element of showcasing skills.

Like a peacock displaying its feathers.

Could it be...

Could it be...

No way?

I'm not interested in being the prince's concubine!

Originally, she wanted to challenge Zhao Ning.

But now...

Mi Xingli quickly picked up Xiang Ding and hurriedly said, "No, no! Your Highness, the prince misunderstood. Thank you for your help, we'll leave first!"

After speaking, she quickly left with Xiang Ding.

Bang.

Back at her seat, she threw Xiang Ding on the ground.

Mi Xingli smiled and asked, "General Xiang, how did it go?"

"He's very strong!"

Xiang Ding lowered his head, looking somewhat defeated.

Mi Xingli laughed, "How did he defeat you? I didn't really see it just now."

Xiang Ding thought she was mocking him, so he could only honestly answer, "In terms of strength, he is not inferior to me. The Chongli Sword is heavier than my own sword, but he can wield it freely.

The lady is right, relying solely on bravery and martial skills is not enough. I made a mistake!"

Mi Xingli nodded.

The whole Kingdom Chu knows that Xiang Ding is a stubborn person, and only the lady can rein him in.

But Mi Xingli knows that it's not because of personal charm.

It's because her grandfather is Xiang Ding's master, and he has been beaten by her since childhood, so he has to bow down to her.

Since breaking through the fetal transformation realm, she has embarked on a different path.

In terms of blade-to-blade combat, she can no longer easily suppress this little brother.

So, Xiang Ding is going through a rebellious phase.

Fortunately, Zhao Ning intervened in time, so this little brother can have some peace for a while.

However...

Her gaze shifted to Zhao Ning.

This little brother is also outstanding among the second-grade spiritual fetuses, so it's normal to lose to Zhao Ning.

But to lose so thoroughly, it was beyond her expectations.

These wounds, they are like works of art.

Is Zhao Ning... really just an ordinary first-grade spiritual fetus?

Unconsciously, another day ended.

The fifth round only lasted for a day.

In summary, there is only one sentence: first-grade spiritual fetuses are invincible.

After it ended.

Ying Wuji went directly to find the old man and discuss matters related to Jiang Leqing with him.

After all, Jiang Leqing is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang royal family and an important hostage left by the Tian family. It is not easy to keep her detained in Kingdom Li.

Moreover.

Ying Wuji wants to meet her, but he has to defeat Nangong Yu first.

They discussed in the main hall of Chongli Palace.

In the side hall, Qing Xu Daoist and Han Juan were also present.

Usually, Qing Xu Daoist would go back to his own residence as soon as it ended, but this time he was stopped by Han Juan.

Because he was certain that his master would not be able to rest assured and would go to another place instead.

Han Juan sat cross-legged on a cushion, supporting her head with her right arm. "Master, promise me, don't go to the gambling house, okay?"

Qing Xu Daoist was a little impatient. "If I don't go to the gambling house, what about my one thousand taels?"

Han Juan asked back, "Aren't you afraid of losing another one thousand taels?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Qing Xu Daoist lowered his voice. "Disciple, I can only say that you don't understand the gambling house!"

Han Juan helplessly said, "Master, I don't understand the gambling house, but I understand you! You gambled with the woodcutter in the mountains, and you lost hundreds of bundles of firewood, right? City people are more cunning, you can't outsmart them."

"Nonsense!"

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Qing Xu Daoist couldn't help but say, "That's because those woodcutters don't know anything. Can a brute defeat a master?

This time, Ying Wuji personally made a move for the first time. Although he won, it completely matched everyone's previous impression of him, sneaky and cunning, not daring to confront head-on.

In the eyes of the world, Nangong Yu is the real genius. And his opponent today, his performance is almost identical to Ying Wuji's.

There will definitely be a lot of people betting on Nangong Yu's victory this time, but those Yang Zhu's faction of poor people will definitely compete with me for business.

I still have to focus on the details.

There will definitely be more people betting on Nangong Yu's victory, and a small portion will bet on Ying Wuji winning another battle with today's tactics.

But I am still confident that Ying Wuji will win with his swordsmanship!"Nangong Yu's formation was enough to force out his true strength, and close combat swordsmanship was his only way to win.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and then he started to babble some incomprehensible words like "no one understands gambling better than me."

The hall was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Han Juan knew he couldn't stop him, so he asked the last question.

"If you lose again, how will you explain it to your master?"

"In my life, there is no word called 'lose'."

Qing Xu tidied up his things.

With a "whoosh," he disappeared into the side hall.

Han Juan shook his head and returned to his sword.

...

The next day.

Chongli Palace became lively again.

After five rounds of competition, there were only a dozen or so people left out of the five hundred, but there were still many people watching.

After all, this Sword Immortal Conference gathered various geniuses.

Although these geniuses were slightly immature compared to true masters, they had unlimited creativity.

Watching their peak battles.

You can always learn something new.

Of course.

Except for Ying Wuji's matches.

Because when Ying Wuji appeared, it was only for the show.

Fortunately, the show was not bad, and it was always the opening act, which could always bring joy to the audience.

Otherwise, someone would curse.

Just treat it as watching a play.

I don't know what kind of performance Ying Wuji will bring today.

Even if he is completely defeated by Nangong Yu, it should still be entertaining!

Last time, he completely defeated Ji Su and performed a dog-walking show with lightning chains.

This time... maybe it will be Nangong Yu's ghost-catching game?

Qing Xu glanced at everyone and saw that they were relaxed, without the determination to watch the battle of sword masters, they all looked like they were waiting to watch a play.

He couldn't help but find it somewhat ridiculous.

This time, he was the only one betting on Ying Wuji's swordsmanship to win.

He would make a fortune.

He turned his head and looked at Nangong Ling, "Nangong brother, how is your son's swordsmanship?"

Nangong Ling raised his eyelids and hinted, "Since he came to participate in the Sword Immortal Conference, my son has naturally studied swordsmanship for a while. He can't just sit back and do nothing after a few rounds and lose face in the Sword Immortal Conference!"

Zhao Ji: "..."

Ying Wuji: "..."

Qing Xu stroked his beard and pondered, "Nangong brother seems to be insinuating someone, who could it be?"

Zhao Ji also looked puzzled, "In our Sword Immortal Conference, it seems that there is no such shameless person, right?"

Qing Xu loudly said, "Ying Wuji!"

Ying Wuji: "???"

Why are these old folks so petty?

They just exposed me in public like this?

He stood up, feeling a bit dissatisfied, "Master, what do you mean by this? I have fought five matches, and in four of them, I relied solely on swordsmanship to win. I even sealed my sword spirit, making all the heroes of the world fear me. I ask you, who in this world can surpass me in swordsmanship?"

Zhao Ji: "..."

Nangong Ling: "..."

Everyone present: "..."

Qing Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "Young friend's swordsmanship is indeed rarely seen in my lifetime. I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to remind the young friend that the match is about to begin, so don't get too excited."

"Oh! It's time to enter the arena!"

Ying Wuji grinned, didn't expect to be tricked by this old master.

It made me feel like I was being provoked.

He didn't want to argue, so he jumped directly into the Hanguang Formation.

Only then did Qing Xu stroke his beard and smile, "In this match, Ying Wuji against Nangong Yu!"

Nangong Ling said in a deep voice, "Yu'er, go!"

"Yes!"

Nangong Yu responded solemnly and entered the Hanguang Formation with a serious expression.

This time, it was only him from the Ji clan.

The Wei and Han families had already declined in strategic position.

This was the best opportunity for the Nangong family to rise. Among the entire Ji clan, the Nangong family's strength was not weak, but they didn't have their own fiefdom.

Zhou Tianzi had already promised that as long as one of the Two Saints was killed, he would find a way to grant a piece of land to the Nangong family.

Although it would only be a small piece, it allowed for legal expansion, which was the hope of the entire Nangong family.

In addition, there was the position of the leader of the Ji clan.

And Nangong Yan's deep-seated hatred.

This match.

Was a kill!

Qing Xu saw his resolute killing intent and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If he couldn't force Ying Wuji to draw his sword this time.

Then it would be unreasonable, right?

Finally, the old master would win a bet.

He smiled and said, "Begin!"

This time, Nangong Yu didn't hold back at all. His Five Elements Formation had already been exposed last time, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

Strike first!

In the instant the word "begin" appeared, he quickly spread the Five Elements Formation across the entire grassland, using his earth-based body as the foundation. This way, even if Ying Wuji immediately turned invisible, he wouldn't be completely unable to find Ying Wuji's whereabouts.

However...

Ying Wuji didn't turn invisible, but instead looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Nangong Yu immediately frowned and drew his Gongque Sword with a "clang" sound.

He looked at Ying Wuji indifferently, "You may not have understood the situation. If you don't turn invisible, it's no different from offering your neck for slaughter!"

Ying Wuji smiled, "I actually think that Brother Nangong won't kill me!"

Before Nangong Yu could react.

He directly took out a cluster of pure essence mixed with strands of true energy from his pocket.

Nangong Yu: "..."

A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.Although he quickly hid it, the slightly trembling breath exposed his inner unrest.

Ying Wuji smiled, "Private chat?"

Without any hesitation.

Nangong Yu transmitted his voice, "Okay!"

Outside the scene.

Nangong Ling's face changed drastically.

Although Nangong Yan's mission this time was not issued by him, he still closely monitored her actions.

Shortly after the failure of the Muye Monument in the Capital of the Great Ming, all her true energy clusters disappeared at the same time.

Nangong Yan's true energy was very strange, even he, a Wushen realm expert, couldn't figure it out or destroy it. So this situation only represented one possibility.

That is, Nangong Yan is dead.

But if Nangong Yan is dead, where did this true energy come from?

He felt like he was in trouble.

But only Qing Xu Daochang could transmit his voice into the Hanguang Formation.

Being anxious wouldn't help him. He couldn't just rush into the Hanguang Formation in front of everyone, right?

Inside the formation.

Nangong Yu's voice trembled slightly, "Where is my sister?"

Ying Wuji smiled faintly, "She is giving birth to my child. She told me her Embryo Refining Technique and insisted on helping me awaken the Zhuanxu Emperor's body!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Nangong Yu glared angrily.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but show a smile. He had always thought that Nangong Yan's words were mostly to say something outrageous to gain the trust of the Li King's family.

But after capturing Nangong Yan, he called various appraisal masters.

The result was that there were indeed signs of a miscarriage.

And the Embryo Refining Technique was real too.

Now, looking at Nangong Yu's reaction.

It was confirmed.

He shrugged, "Why are you talking nonsense? If she can help you achieve the Earth Virtue Body, why can't she help me achieve the Zhuanxu Emperor's body? Why are you so special?"

Nangong Yu's eyes turned red, "Can you be the same as me?"

Ying Wuji spread his hands, "What's different between us officials?"

"You, you..."

"You tell me, what's the difference between us!"

"I..."

Nangong Yu gritted his teeth, "I am her master's assigned task, what about you?"

Ying Wuji, "Hiss..."

What the hell!

What the hell!

What the hell!

What did I hear?

Ying Wuji could tell that Nangong Yu had some calculations, but not many.

After all, as a genius raised in the Zhou King's family, although there were factions within the Zhou King's family, there was basically no open struggle.

A genius raised like this, it was understandable if their mental strength was weaker.

But what the hell was this "master's task"?

Nangong Yan didn't say anything either!

He smacked his lips and asked, "Is her master the Parallel King?"

Although Nangong Yan was tricked by Nangong Ling to come here, she came here to complete a legitimate mission.

She was not Nangong Ling's person.

And she actually had a master.

Apart from the Parallel King, he couldn't think of anyone else.

This younger brother of Zhou Tianzi, he played around a bit too much, right?

At first, he suspected that Nangong Yan was the Parallel King's person, but Nangong Yan stubbornly denied it.

This...

Nangong Yu became anxious, "What did you do to her..."

"Wait a moment!"

Ying Wuji rubbed his head, "Give me a moment to think!"

My CPU is burning.

Nangong Yu took a deep breath, "What are you planning to do to her?"

Ying Wuji spread his hands, "Can't you see? I want you to admit defeat!"

Nangong Yu gritted his teeth, "If I admit defeat, will you let her go?"

Damn it?

So straightforward?

Ying Wuji was at a loss, "If you leave behind some good techniques, I can let her go!"

Nangong Yu quickly said, "I can give you good things, but don't let her out. My father will definitely kill her. Even if she manages to escape, she will go back to find that beast, the Parallel King!"

You can continue to keep her locked up, as long as she has good food, good drink, and a good place to stay. The techniques can be negotiated. As long as you swear in blood to do your best to let her live well."

Ying Wuji, "..."

The situation was developing as he had expected.

But the process seemed a bit off.

Originally, he wanted to use Nangong Yan's life and the reputation of the Nangong family to blackmail him.

How did it turn out like this?

Wait a moment!

Let me think for a moment.

Nangong Yu became anxious, "Are you planning to go back on your word?"

Ying Wuji grinned, "I don't plan to go back on my word..."

Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Later, I will use the Five Elements Formation to create a towering broken wall. You pretend to be invisible and use your Thunder Technique to attack me a few times. I will force you into a cave. We will have twenty breaths of time there. It's enough for you to make a blood oath. At that time, I will give you a puppet, and I want to see my sister."

Ying Wuji, "Okay..."

He had a premonition.

He might witness a big drama on the spot.

With a definite answer, Nangong Yu took a step back and shouted, "Ying Wuji! Die!"

The next moment.

The entire grassland rumbled.

The originally slightly undulating ground surface was instantly distorted and hideous.

The wild grass grew rapidly and entangled towards Ying Wuji.

At the same time, Nangong Yu's long sword flew out and headed straight for Ying Wuji's heart.

Ying Wuji was not flustered either. Stepping on the Seven Star Steps, he calmly moved away, and after breaking free from the entanglement, he directly disappeared.

But Nangong Yu did not lose track of him and chased after him on his flying sword.

The sound of the sword's hum and thunderous roar intertwined.

The onlookers outside couldn't help but exclaim.I didn't expect that after these two people communicated through voice transmission, they would burst out with such a strong killing intent.

Finally, there is a taste of immortals fighting!

The sound of bombardment continued, and the long sword chased closely.

The Five Elements Formation continued to close in.

Ying Wuji seemed to still be moving around.

But the space was getting smaller and smaller, and finally Ying Wuji was forced to a broken wall with a hole pierced by sword energy.

In the blink of an eye, several sword energies approached.

Ying Wuji's figure was finally forced out, he gritted his teeth and directly drilled into the hole.

"Good death!"

Nangong Yu shouted loudly and immediately retracted his long sword, rushing in.

Everyone: "..."

Too intense!

It's really too intense!

Qing Xu Daoist: "Good! Good! Good!"

Finally, he can fight Wuji up close with swords!

Although the process is a bit strange!

But in such a small cave, it's not suitable to fight without using a sword, right?

However.

Inside the cave, it was quiet.

No one knew what happened inside.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

...

Just at the fifteenth breath.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Countless thunderous sounds exploded in the cave.

Immediately after, a charred figure flew out.

Nangong Yu's eyes were about to split: "Ying Wuji, you, you... I'm not willing!"

His voice was extremely miserable, as if he wanted to kill Ying Wuji and then die.

Then his head tilted.

And he fainted directly.

Everyone: "..."

They were all confused, what's going on?

Why did they rush into the cave?

Why did they stay silent for a while and then get blasted out?

Why?

"Heh! You stupid fool, you fell for it, didn't you?"

Ying Wuji's figure also quickly rushed out, holding his sword and wanting to cut off Nangong Yu's head.

Nangong Ling's face changed drastically.

Fortunately, Qing Xu Daoist reacted quickly.

Although Wuji's last move used a sword.

But if someone gets killed, where would the face of the Daoist go?

It's not worth it for a thousand taels.

He stretched out his right hand, and a one-zhang-wide handprint illusion appeared in the Hanguang Formation. Two fingers held Wuji's sword.

"Spare him for now! He fainted, so naturally he lost. Why hurt someone's life?"

"That's right! You're right!"

Ying Wuji smiled and laughed it off, reluctantly sheathing his sword, and reluctantly left the Hanguang Formation.

This last part.

Was purely his own improvisation.

Otherwise, Nangong Yu would be highly suspicious.

Nangong Yu is not slow-witted, but he lacks experience in writing scripts, missing a way to wrap up the logic.

He touched his chest and found a straw doll lying quietly inside.

It seems that as long as he controls Nangong Yan, the Li royal family will have another pawn.

The illusion of the big hand in the Hanguang Formation also lifted the charred Nangong Yu and placed him in front of Nangong Ling.

Nangong Ling looked extremely nervous. After checking, he found that Nangong Yu was not seriously injured. It was just that his meridians were paralyzed. He finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Daoist!"

"No need to thank me!"

Qing Xu Daoist smiled and waved his hand, but his heart was bleeding.

A thousand taels from an old Daoist!

He really doesn't understand.

In such a small space, why didn't the two of them use their swords?

Instead, they stayed silent for so long and Nangong Yu was blasted out by the Thunder Law.

He looked at Ying Wuji and couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"

Ying Wuji smiled slightly, "Daoist, I'm really sorry that I can't answer your question. If I say it, it won't work in the next round!"

Qing Xu Daoist choked for a moment, then waved his hand, "Next round! Next round!"

The following few rounds were also quite intense.

Those who could enter this round were not mediocre.

But it has to be said that there is still a gap in strength.

Most of the people here have just broken through the Embryonic Transformation Realm, and even the swords they carry were temporarily forged for the Sword Immortal Conference. Therefore, the grade of their Ling Embryo is the biggest influencing factor.

Except for Ying Wuji, who consecutively defeated two first-grade Ling Embryos.

Zhao Ning, Mi Xingli, and Ying Wuque, although they all went through some twists and turns, they basically won with overwhelming strength.

It was another person who caught Ying Wuji's interest.

That is Jiang Leqing, whom Mi Xingli mentioned.

This woman.

Her way of fighting is extremely monotonous.

Completely relying on illusion to overwhelm her opponents.

Her weapon is a slender sword, but this sword has never stabbed anyone. Its function is completely similar to a musical instrument.

When true energy is infused, a melody will sound.

Then her opponent will fall into a drowsy state and sit cross-legged.

And she will be affected in the same way.

The two of them just sat cross-legged like this.

After a while.

Her opponent will vomit blood and faint.

Every match is like this, the only difference is the time it takes for the opponent to vomit blood and faint. The stronger the opponent, the longer they can hold on.

It must have become more difficult.

But after Jiang Leqing wakes up, her spirit is surprisingly vigorous. Not only did she not consume any energy, but she even replenished some.

No one knows what her opponent went through.Because she has fought a total of six opponents, none of them have awakened yet. If it weren't for the fact that their spirits were checked and there were no problems, they would have probably caused trouble at the embassy of the Qi Kingdom.

This girl.

Her methods are really strange!

After this round, there were only seven people left out of more than ten.

Except for Ying Wuque, who had good luck and advanced without a fight, the remaining people still had to fight three more rounds.

The seventh round.

Ying Wuji against Jiang Leqing.

Tian Boguang against a dual-wielding swordsman who had just joined the Yan Kingdom.

Zhao Ning against Mi Xingli, and the winner would fight Ying Wuque.

The situation has become quite clear.

Qing Xu Daoist looked up at the sun and smiled faintly, "Today's matches will end. Starting from tomorrow, there will be two matches every day. Four days later, the ownership of the Hanguang Sword and the Mohist's energy of the Four Daoist Schools will be decided. Everyone can go back and rest!"

The recent matches have become increasingly intense.

If they continue to have matches every day, they won't have time to rest.

Although it's only noon now.

But...

"Daoist!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, "This arrangement is very good in my opinion. However, everyone is eager to obtain the Hanguang Sword. If possible, I think we can start a little earlier."

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.

Their gazes fell on a woman.

Jiang Leqing?

Ying Wuji's gaze slightly narrowed, feeling that this woman was even more mysterious.

She meditated continuously and defeated six opponents in a row, directly overwhelming them. Even if he had more tricks up his sleeve, he couldn't help but feel uncertain.

Especially from the information revealed by Mi Xingli, Jiang Leqing might have connections with the Tian, Jiang, and Wei sects.

The reason why she could still survive well might be related to her manipulation of destiny.

This woman.

Seems to be eager to fight him.

Qing Xu Daoist became interested, "Oh? Princess, what is your suggestion?"

Jiang Leqing smiled, "I just think that after the first four matches, everyone's energy consumption is similar. It's only noon today, so if the three of you feel that you still have the strength to fight, why not start today and save everyone from waiting for another day?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Boguang spoke, "I have no objections. We all have the heart of a swordsman and naturally hope to see the true appearance of the Hanguang Sword as soon as possible. It's just a little true energy consumption, nothing to worry about!"

Ying Wuque also spoke, "The three of you are truly outstanding heroes. This young master also agrees. Such boldness is truly admirable.

The Sword Immortal Conference is a rare grand event in the world of swordsmanship, and those who come are naturally the top geniuses.

Pursuing fairness in the competition is a good thing, but it seems too restrained.

Swords!

Are used to kill!

On the battlefield, no one will show mercy because of your condition.

If you hesitate because of a little true energy consumption, then you are truly a laughingstock!"

His words were calm and resounding.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It seems to make sense!

Ying Wuji sneered.

How come even this guy is trying to provoke him? He's using all these tactics, obviously pre-arranged.

He is becoming more and more certain that Jiang Leqing is targeting him.

It just so happens that this dual-wielding swordsman has joined the Yan Kingdom and is also a member of the Jiang alliance, making it easy to form an alliance.

But...

Is this the intention of the Tian or Jiang family, or is it the plan of the Wei sect?

And why is the Qian Kingdom getting involved?

This is Ying Wuque's intention.

Or is it the intention of Lao Bi Deng?

He feels that there is a big net slowly closing in on him.

Damn it!

The Daoist really harms people.

One "Grand Trend" and one "Second Saint" have directly pushed him to the forefront?

It's like a free courtesan in a high-class brothel.

Anyone who comes has to have a go at him?

And now they're trying to morally manipulate him again?

Everyone's gaze.

Fell on him.

But Ying Wuji didn't feel any pressure at all, he just smirked, "You guys are all rough people, of course you won't get tired. I've never touched the spring water with my ten fingers from childhood to adulthood.

I've even defeated two Spirit Embryo experts in a row. I'm really tired!

I want to go back and sleep.

Although I'm not talented.

I am the strongest advocate of the transformation method in the world, the honored guest of the Great Li Academy, and a guest of the Mohist Guild.

Still a laughingstock?

Who in this world dares to laugh at me?

All of you who are morally manipulating me are naive and rigid.

Those who participate in the manipulation are all insignificant people!

No political achievements, no military achievements, not even any military merits, yet dare to talk about the battlefield?

Manipulating me?

Disgusting!

Disgusting!"

Jiang Leqing: "..."

Tian Boguang: "..."

Ying Wuque: "..."

Everyone present: "..."

No one expected that Ying Wuji wouldn't fall for their tricks at all and would directly curse them in front of everyone.

The people who had just spoken were all left with stiff facial muscles.

Ying Wuque's expression became extremely ugly.Although his achievements and military exploits are indeed inferior...

But this person?

Doesn't he have any manners?

The people from the Li Kingdom present felt relieved.

It's still the son-in-law!

This taste is right!

Why did they try to morally kidnap our son-in-law with all those rotten fish and shrimp?

Is our son-in-law someone with morals?

"Father King! Your son requests to rest in the side hall!"

Ying Wuji sneered, saluted Zhao Ji, and then confidently entered the side hall.

Leaving behind a group of people who failed to kidnap him, they looked at each other.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Wuji was just burned by the Nine Flame True Fire, so he's a bit hot-tempered. Please forgive him, everyone."

Qing Xu Daoist also waved his hand and said, "Since someone is unwilling, let's stick to the original plan. Disperse!"

The crowd then dispersed.

Jiang Leqing glanced at the side hall of Chongli Palace. She had heard from Jiang Taiyuan before that Ying Wuji was not easy to handle, but she didn't expect him to be so difficult.

Does he really have no manners at all?

She sighed lightly and could only leave.

In the side hall.

Ying Wuji was a little anxious. Although he had a stack of trump cards in his hand, he couldn't really figure out Jiang Leqing's intentions and didn't know if he could use his cards to kill her.

Since he didn't know, he should prepare more cards.

After a while.

He saw Zhao Ji coming over and quickly greeted him, "Father King, save me!"

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said, "Save you from what?"

Ying Wuji put on an anxious look and said, "You saw it too. Jiang Leqing and her group want to harm me. I don't really understand this illusion thing, so I'm a bit panicked!"

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Then forfeit!"

"No!"

Ying Wuji quickly said, "I defeated two Spirit Embryo experts. How can I back down because of a little girl?"

Zhao Ji looked at him with disdain and said, "Then what do you suggest?"

Ying Wuji scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Can we borrow all the treasures of the Great Li that can resist illusions?"

"Hmph, I knew it!"

"Father King, won't you lend them to me?"

"Lend! Of course, lend!"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Since it's a loan, will you return them?"

Ying Wuji felt greatly humiliated and said, "Of course I will return them! Don't you know my character?"

A trace of cunning flashed across Zhao Ji's face and he said, "You need to sign a promissory note!"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Unable to bear it, Zhao Ji shook his head. This kid was still as greedy as ever!

But regardless of his dislike, he still had to lend them.

Although the freeloading failed.

But borrowing them temporarily for self-protection was still not a problem.

After putting all the things in his pocket, Ying Wuji felt much more at ease. He then took out the puppet given to him by Nangong Yu and discussed the strategy against the Nangong family.

After that.

It was a night of rest.

...

A quiet night passed without any incidents.

It was surprisingly peaceful, with nothing happening.

The silence made Ying Wuji somewhat puzzled.

He didn't understand why there was a difference between starting the battle at the normal time and starting it a day earlier.

Why was Jiang Leqing so anxious?

So anxious that she didn't hesitate to reveal her intentions.

He couldn't figure out this question.

But it didn't matter whether he understood it or not.

Now he had countless treasures and a stack of trump cards in his pocket.

He didn't believe that Jiang Leqing could do anything.

Compared to Jiang Leqing, he was more worried about the Qian royal family. He didn't know what they wanted to do.

If it was Ying Wuque's personal decision, it would be fine.

But this possibility was unlikely.

Without the consent of Lao Bi Deng, Ying Wuque wouldn't dare to do anything.

So what was Lao Bi Deng's plan?

Why did he join forces with the people from the Qi Kingdom?

Was it just to let Jiang Leqing eliminate me and make way for Ying Wuque?

When the sun had just climbed up the mountain.

The seventh round was about to begin.

Ying Wuji looked towards Jiang Leqing in the distance.

And coincidentally, he found that Jiang Leqing was also looking at him.

Their eyes met for a moment.

She smiled and nodded at him.

Ying Wuji snorted and turned his head, ignoring her.

Qing Xu Daoist glanced at everyone and said calmly, "In this round, Ying Wuji will face Jiang Leqing."

Seeing Ying Wuji stand up, Zhao Ning said in a deep voice, "Wuji, be careful!"

"Don't worry!"

Ying Wuji smiled. Although he was a cautious player and didn't want to do anything uncertain, he couldn't be timid because of it.

He took a deep breath and directly stepped into the Hanguang Formation.

Jiang Leqing lightly laughed and also stepped in.

This time, the scene was by the seaside.

The sky was blue, and the sea was clear.

Even the sand on the beach was extremely pure.

The environment was really good.

For a moment, Ying Wuji even thought he had come to Phuket for a vacation.

"The young master probably hasn't seen the sea before!"

Jiang Leqing smiled gently. Her gaze was pure and charming, as if she was looking at her lover.

Ying Wuji didn't answer immediately, in case this was part of an illusion.

His spirit turned into tentacles and spread out. Even if Jiang Leqing used illusions, he could withstand them for a while. During this time, he could directly use his thunder technique to kill her.

Ready for everything, he sneered, "What's so special about it? Everyone has seen it before."

"I guess you've seen it in your dreams!"

Jiang Leqing smiled, "Sir has been living in the two countries of Qianli for a long time, and the scenery you have seen must be different from our country. Sir dreams of seeing the sea, so I thought you might want to appreciate the scenery of our country. I wonder if Sir has noticed that I actually came here for you."

"I noticed!"

Ying Wuji sneered, "You were just one step away from drugging me and taking advantage of me!"

Jiang Leqing's face stiffened, and she said softly, "If Sir likes it, it's not impossible! As long as the Jiang clan can restore the country, we will bring half of the Qi country as a dowry!"

Ying Wuji sneered, "Then I'll be honest too. Actually, I am Houyi. I haven't had enough shooting because there are too few suns. As long as you let me shoot once, I will give you the last sun."

Jiang Leqing twitched her mouth, "Sir is really joking!"

Ying Wuji said, "So is the princess!"

Damn it.

You want to freeload while I work for your Qi country.

What a joke!

At this moment.

The long-awaited "start" finally arrived.

Before the words fell.

Ying Wuji disappeared directly, his hands formed seals, and five thunderbolts struck Jiang Leqing directly.

Jiang Leqing couldn't dodge in time and was immediately struck, screaming in pain, with most of her clothes burned off.

This was the first time she was injured in the Sword Immortal Conference.

But just when everyone thought that Ying Wuji had taken the opportunity to win.

A rhythmic sword chant sounded.

Ying Wuji's face changed drastically.

Because his spiritual sense had no response, but his head had already started to spin.

What's going on?

He felt a little panicked.

Although Tianhu's Dream Invasion mainly focused on dreams, it was also one of the top-level illusions.

But Jiang Leqing's methods seemed to have surpassed the scope of illusions.

Forced into an illusory realm.

It felt similar to Han Juan.

This thing...

Seems to be a rule!

In just a moment, Ying Wuji's originally clear consciousness fell into chaos.

And Jiang Leqing, the caster, also fainted at the same time.

Outside the formation.

Everyone's faces changed.

Although Jiang Leqing was struck by the thunderbolt, the subsequent development was exactly the same as the previous few rounds.

What kind of illusion is this?

Why is it so domineering?

Zhao Ji and Zhao Ning's faces were filled with worry. Yesterday, they prepared many treasures to resist illusions for Ying Wuji, but none of them worked today.

Within the illusion, dense fog lingered.

A vast expanse of whiteness.

Ying Wuji stood in the middle, memories in his mind appearing uncontrollably.

In just a moment, it seemed as if his entire life's experiences were replayed.

But it was strange.

The illusion was still a vast expanse of whiteness, and there were no corresponding scenes appearing due to his recollections.

This memory seemed to be trying to evoke his emotions.

But Ying Wuji suppressed it tightly, remaining calm from beginning to end.

After the recollection ended.

The dense fog seemed to have dissipated slightly.

He faintly saw something in the fog.

As he approached, he saw a mirror.

To be precise, it was a series of mirrors.

These mirrors were the only objects that appeared in the illusion.

Arranged neatly.

Endless in sight.

Just within his line of sight, there were no less than a million mirrors, which looked particularly daunting.

"This..."

Ying Wuji fell into contemplation.

This illusion scene was very unrealistic, but it gave him a very real feeling.

At least with his profound knowledge of illusions, he couldn't find any unreal aspects.

In other words.

This illusion didn't seem like an illusion.

He couldn't find any flaws, and naturally couldn't find a breakthrough.

Mirrors.

They were the only things in this illusion, and they must also be the most dangerous things.

Ying Wuji didn't want to look.

But it was also the only thing that could find the flaws.

If he didn't look at the mirrors, he wouldn't have any evidence that this was an illusion, and it would be uncertain when he could break free and leave.

Although according to previous observations.

Jiang Leqing would be in a coma with him.

But what kind of precious thing was Jiang Leqing?

Was she worthy of an exchange with me?

"Let's see what kind of monster you really are."

Ying Wuji took a deep breath and walked over with big strides.

He threw a punch.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound.

The mirror shook.

A barely visible crack appeared.

This crack was very small and couldn't be seen without getting close.

But the change in the mirror did not bring any changes to the illusion, and the other mirrors remained intact.

"It's quite sturdy!"

Ying Wuji pondered for a moment. This mirror was the embodiment of the spirit, and its mental strength was slightly lower than his, but not by much.

Smashing one mirror after another would eventually break them, but it would take a lot of effort.

There were so many mirrors here.

He was afraid that he couldn't afford to waste that much time.

He glanced into the mirror and found that it was empty, with nothing inside.

"Is there a connection between the mirror and the mirror passage in Mingdu?"Ying Wuji was puzzled. The conclusion that his spirit was stronger than the mirror gave him some confidence. Just a mirror couldn't reveal much.

He walked towards the inside, but the mirror showed nothing.

However, when he walked towards the outside, he found images in the mirror.

There was a stranger, wandering in the same mirror-filled, vast white space. Occasionally, the stranger would pass by Ying Wuji's line of sight, looking out blankly.

His gaze was fleeting, his expression anxious.

"This..."

Ying Wuji walked towards the outside again, looking at several mirrors in succession, all the same.

All were strangers.

Ying Wuji frowned slightly, continuing to search.

Finally.

He saw a face he had seen before.

This face was Jiang Leqing, the opponent he met in the third round.

Ying Wuji remembered.

This person was trapped in the mirror, so he was unconscious?

He wasn't sure.

But he decided to call this person out and ask.

So he threw a punch.

It missed...

"Hey? What the hell!"

Ying Wuji felt it was really strange.

He quickly tried other mirrors with images, all the same.

It was a bit weird!

He seemed to have a vague understanding of something.

So he quickly walked to the blank mirror.

This time.

There was an image in the mirror, but it was a bit blurry, like a mosaic.

But the mosaic was slowly dissipating, and the image was becoming clearer and clearer.

Ying Wuji quickly switched to the mirror he had just cracked, and the image was completely clear at this time.

He laughed.

The person in the mirror also laughed.

Their expressions were identical.

Was this just an ordinary mirror?

Ying Wuji just stood there quietly, and the person in the mirror also stood quietly.

He didn't notice anything unusual.

Too normal.

Normal to the point of being eerie.

"Interesting!"

Ying Wuji shook his head and switched to another intact mirror.

He stood in front of it.

Still no change.

"How strange!"

Ying Wuji looked a bit troubled, both annoyed and puzzled.

His left hand slowly touched the mirror.

Just as he made contact with the mirror.

A glint of ecstasy finally flashed in the eyes of the person in the mirror.

The left hand of the person in the mirror moved faster than Ying Wuji's.

It reached out of the mirror.

Grabbing Ying Wuji's hand and trying to pull him in.

The force was strong.

Plus, the mirror was tilted.

Anyone would be caught off guard.

But.

Ying Wuji looked even more excited, his body leaning back quickly, making a pulling motion.

The person in the mirror clearly didn't expect Ying Wuji to react this way.

And its strength was clearly weaker than Ying Wuji's, unable to pull Ying Wuji in no matter what.

But the mirror was like a quagmire.

Ying Wuji couldn't pull it out either.

But he had a way.

He immediately freed his right hand.

And started to smash the mirror furiously.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

One punch after another, the cracks were small, but they appeared one after another, quickly covering the entire mirror.

Finally.

In the horrified eyes of the person in the mirror.

The mirror shattered with a loud bang.

Ying Wuji grabbed it and pulled it out.

The person from the mirror stumbled and sat on the ground.

Ying Wuji: (〝▼皿▼)

Person from the mirror: (°Д°)

It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket.

Although there's no extra update, it's not easy to write 11,000 words on average every day during the Spring Festival.

The relatives are almost done visiting, I'll stock up on manuscripts, and strive for a big wave in February.
