Chapter202

Zhou Peng had a headache. However, he had no intention of explaining. Standing on one side, he looked at them coldly without saying a word. Lin Yan and the others snickered. Although they had just arrived at the inner sect, they had long heard about Yan Xin and Yan Bing, the twin sisters of Lieyang Palace. Elder sister Yan Xin is an iceberg beauty. Younger sister Yan Bing has a fiery temper and is known as the Fiery Fairy. "Big Brother Zhou is really amazing. He has taken them all down." "That's right. Look who Big Brother Zhou is." The four of them whispered to each other, completely unaware of the gunpowder smell permeating the surroundings. Yan Bing stared at Yi Qianhan with hostility. Although Yi Qianhan's cultivation was inferior to Yan Bing's, her aura was not weakened by half. "Yang Han!" Suddenly, Lin Yan looked into the distance and shouted in a deep voice. Everyone immediately turned to look. Yi Qianhan also looked coldly. Her heart was filled with intense killing intent. Yan Bing was also startled. She took a look at Yi Qianhan and then followed her gaze. Looking at a disciple of Tianyang Palace, she muttered, "Have a grudge against him?" "Finally appeared." Zhou Peng gave an evil smile, and there was a trace of ferocity in his eyes. Not far away, Yang Han followed behind Nangong Lie. His expression was numb, and his eyes were extremely bright. Beside him, Nangong Yan held his arm, looking completely intoxicated. At this time, Yang Han was no longer the same Yang Han as before. Entering the Heavenly Outer World, his cultivation speed increased explosively. He was favored by a grand elder and accepted as a closed-door disciple. After months of intensive cultivation, his strength had reached the eighth level of entering emptiness. His terrifying cultivation speed. Yan Xin was startled when she saw the look in Zhou Peng's eyes. She took a look at Yang Han in the distance and remembered his appearance. There was another whisper on the square. "The people of Tianyang Palace are here. The lineup is even stronger than before." "Who is that new person?" "You don't know this, do you? He is the son-in-law of Nangong Lie, the master of Tianyang Palace. A few months ago, he was sent to the Heavenly Outer World for cultivation. Now his strength has greatly increased. I heard that he was noticed by a grand elder and is a popular candidate to enter the top ten this time." "I can't stand people who rise to power through women. Are they still men?" "Haha... You're just jealous." ... After the people of Tianyang Palace took their seats, Yang Han also looked around with his eyes, looking for something. When he saw Zhou Peng, anger welled up in his heart, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes. The tragic massacre of the Yang family seemed to have happened just yesterday. Hatred filled his heart. The whole family died at the hands of Zhou Peng. Suffering in grief day and night also made him learn to be patient. Before he had absolute certainty, he would never act rashly. So much so that he initially wanted to use the hands of the Qitian Sect to get rid of Zhou Peng. When he saw Zhou Peng again, he secretly rejoiced that the useless people of the Qitian Sect had not succeeded. Otherwise, he would have no chance to personally kill his enemy. At the eighth level of entering emptiness, with the protection of metal essence, his strength was several levels higher than that of disciples of the same level. His strength was extraordinary. Moreover, he also obtained a magic treasure that a grand elder had refined for many years. He was confident that it was enough to deal with Zhou Peng. "Zhou Peng, I hope you don't be eliminated too quickly." "First you, then the Zhou family. I want your entire Zhou family to be completely wiped out..." Yang Han's heart was filled with hatred. Nangong Yan beside him felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver secretly. Nangong Lie was also startled and didn't say much. "If possible, I beg you to help me and kill him. As long as you kill him, I can exchange my body." Yi Qianhan looked at Zhou Peng extremely seriously. With her strength, there was no hope of killing Yang Han in her lifetime. But as long as Yang Han was alive for one more day, her hatred would deepen by one day. She wanted Yang Han dead. Yan Bing was startled. Looking at Yi Qianhan, she was about to say something but saw deep hatred in her eyes. At that moment, she suddenly trembled and said involuntarily, "Husband, just help her." "Uh?!" Yan Bing suddenly blurted this out and was startled by herself. After saying it, she felt a little regretful. Zhou Peng gave a faint smile. Looking at Yi Qianhan, he said, "Even if you didn't beg me, I would still kill him." Soon after, the disciples of the eight palaces arrived one after another. The central square is built in a gossip formation. The eight palaces are in eight directions respectively. While ordinary inner disciples surround the square, just like an ancient Roman colosseum. Only here it is extremely huge. If viewed from high above, it is like a Tai Chi Eight Trigrams formation. Among the eight divine skills, the strength of Nanyang Palace is the strongest. Sword King Wu Yue comprehended the sword intent of divine power. One sword can cut down everything. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Void Breaking Realm and is only one step away from the Qiankun Realm. Next is Tianyang Palace. Nangong Lie is Long Xiaotian's most proud disciple. After Long Xiaotian became the sect master, Tianyang Palace was taken over by him. Among the forces of the eight palaces, Tianyang Palace is Long Xiaotian's direct lineage force and naturally has very powerful resources. This is the reason why Yang Han can enter the Heavenly Outer World for cultivation. Then there are Kunyang Palace, Qianyang Palace, Diyang Palace, Longyang Palace, Jinyang Palace, and finally Lieyang Palace. The eight palaces are the mainstay of Qianji Sect. Except for Lieyang Palace, any palace has a thousand disciples and possesses powerful strength. In the annual top one hundred disciple ranking competition, each of the eight palaces can only send ten disciples. However, these eighty people occupy more than one hundred places in the top one hundred. In addition to the forces of the eight palaces, the strongest belong to the Qitian Sect and then the Wutian Sect. Although Qianji Sect does not recognize them, the power of the Qitian Sect is developing rapidly, so much so that the masters of the eight palaces have to be careful. Then there is the Wutian Sect. The ability of the young master of Wutian has attracted a lot of attention. As for how powerful the forces of the Qitian Sect and the Wutian Sect are, probably only the young master of Qitian and the young master of Wutian themselves know in their hearts. Zhou Peng doesn't know much about the power of the Qitian Sect, but the power of the Wutian Sect is definitely beyond imagination. The army of ninth-level demonic beasts is an extremely terrifying existence. Otherwise, Qianji Sect might really be destroyed. "Boom..." Above the central square, the thick clouds suddenly dispersed, and the Heavenly Outer World faintly appeared. Looking into the distance, it was like a small island suspended in the air. Groups of cranes were flying. The spiritual energy was thick. Under the sunlight, it seemed to be flying down from the sky, making people involuntarily yearn for it. After the clouds dispersed, an old man with white hair hanging down to his chest and wearing a white robe slowly descended from the Heavenly Outer World. His immortal bones were proud. Just like a fairy descending from heaven. Behind him were ten white-clothed disciples. All of them had wooden expressions and shining eyes. They were extremely majestic. The disciples of the Heavenly Outer World are personally selected by the sect master. It is like Long Xiaotian's personal guard. However, they are all the first batch of disciples who entered the Heavenly Outer World with Long Xiaotian. Their potential and talent are one in a thousand. Many of them have now stepped into the Void Breaking Realm in terms of cultivation. They are the most powerful in combat among inner disciples. Many people were secretly stunned. What was the meaning of this move? Everyone had a question mark in their hearts. "Does the sect master also send disciples to compete for the first place?" "What on earth is Long Xiaotian up to?" ... Some people whispered to themselves, staring at the white-haired old man floating down from high altitude, frowning slightly. In previous years' disciple ranking battles, no one from the Heavenly Outer World had ever participated. Looking at the situation this time, they must be participating. Is Long Xiaotian interested in the top one hundred ranking competition? Or does he have another purpose? The white-haired old man is named Murong Haoyue and is the grand elder of Qianji Sect. Except for the sect master, he has the greatest power. He gently landed and stood on the arena in the square. Stroking his beard, he gave a faint smile and had an expression of no desires and no demands. Then he said, "It's another annual disciple ranking event. There are many outstanding disciples again. It's a great fortune for Qianji Sect..." A long speech of nonsense. It's almost the same every year. Some newcomers listened with relish. Some palace masters and elders just picked their ears and showed impatient expressions. The grand elder of Qianji Sect has an extremely high status, but the status of the masters of the eight palaces is not low either. At the end of his speech, Murong Haoyue turned to look at the ten disciples who had come down with him and then said loudly, "Today, the sect master also sends disciples to participate in the ranking competition and also increases the rewards." "Sure enough." "Is Long Xiaotian going to make a move?" "Is he trying to use them to strike our forces?" Some palace masters' faces changed slightly, and they secretly concluded that Long Xiaotian's move must be a purge. There was a lot of discussion among the crowd. In the direction of Lieyang Palace, Shen Yan's face also sank, and her eyes narrowed slightly. Zhou Peng's eyes were filled with fanaticism. "Ding." The system prompt sounded. "The first stage of the SSS-level task is activated. Kill at least three of Long Xiaotian's disciples." "Reward 8,000,000 experience and obtain one-tenth of the space of the space ring..." The super SSS-level task in the system has finally been activated. Zhou Peng was shocked. One-tenth of the space. That means he can use one-tenth of the mountain of treasures? Zhou Peng was excited. On the arena, the ten disciples from the Heavenly Outer World were all glittering bosses. In addition to these, there were many people in the crowd whose names were red and flashed with a faint light. They were all disciples of the Qitian Sect and the Wutian Sect. "This should be the first step of the task." Zhou Peng secretly became excited. His fists were slightly clenched. However, they were either at the Void Breaking Realm or at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. To kill them, he must use some means. He secretly planned. Not long after, Murong Haoyue announced the start of the competition. Then four boundary masters walked onto the arena. They placed a small black tripod in each of the four corners and then activated them simultaneously. Immediately, a huge halo appeared on the arena. Looking at the colorful halo, Zhou Peng immediately thought of the protective mountain formation of Jingxinzhai. After the boundary was set up, the battle list appeared on the black stone slab on one side of the square. Everyone looked over and there was a commotion. "Today will definitely be a tough battle. The glory of Lieyang Palace depends on you to fight for it." Shen Yan stood up and made a final mobilization. When Long Xiaotian sent disciples to participate in the battle, her heart was extremely disappointed. It would definitely be extremely difficult to enter the top ten. If she couldn't enter the top ten, she wouldn't get the metal essence qi. This was a fatal blow to her. Shen Yan walked up to Zhou Wei. In a low voice, she said, "If you can enter the top ten, Lieyang Palace will support the Qitian Sect in the future." Zhou Wei's pupils suddenly shrank. He was extremely shocked. Looking at Shen Yan, his lips trembled slightly. "Mas...ter..." "You don't need to say anything." Shen Yan smiled faintly. "As long as you can enter the top ten and help me get a pot of metal essence qi. I will give up the position of palace master and recommend you to be the palace master of Lieyang Palace." "Boom..." It was like a thunderclap in Zhou Wei's heart. "Give up the position of palace master..." He was extremely shocked. His face changed. Looking at Shen Yan's serious expression, he nodded heavily. Said, "Master, I will definitely go all out." Then he said, "Master, I will go discuss with the young master." Since she already knew that he was from the Qitian Sect, Zhou Wei didn't need to hide it anymore. He sneered in his heart. "When I become the palace master. Zhou Peng, your doom will come." As long as the young master of Qitian is willing to help, it won't be too difficult to enter the top ten. Moreover, he has the cultivation of the Reincarnation Realm and entered the top ten in the last session. After Zhou Wei left, Shen Yan showed a mysterious smile. Then she walked up to Zhou Peng. Looking at Yan Bing and Yan Xin, she said, "Zhou Peng. As long as you can enter the top ten and get a pot of metal essence qi for me. The things between you and Yan Xin and Yan Bing, I will pretend nothing happened and will never pursue it." "Uh?!" Zhou Peng was stunned. His heart was shocked. Without thinking much, he nodded and said, "Disciple will definitely go all out." Shen Yan smiled satisfactorily and sat back in her seat. She was extremely nervous. The metal essence qi was extremely important to her. "Second Senior Brother, what did Master tell you?" Yan Bing came over and asked softly. Yan Xin also pricked up her ears and listened nervously. The master must have assigned some important tasks first to Zhou Wei and then to Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng gave a faint smile. "Nothing." At the same time, his eyes narrowed and he looked at Shen Yan's back. Secretly thinking in his heart, "Shen Yan, what secret are you hiding?" From the first meeting until now, Shen Yan gave Zhou Peng a very peculiar feeling. On the surface, she was approachable and indifferent to worldly affairs. In fact, she was a woman who was extremely deep-hidden. Zhou Peng didn't know what she wanted. But the metal essence qi was very important to her. Extremely important. Although he didn't hear the conversation with Zhou Wei just now, it must be the same as him. She offered generous conditions. The purpose was to obtain the metal essence qi. Guessing secretly but still unable to figure it out, Zhou Peng was secretly annoyed and became more vigilant of Shen Yan. After the boundary on the arena was set up and the battle list came out, a law enforcement referee walked onto the arena and announced the battle list. "Liu Shuanghan vs. Lei Feng..." As soon as the list was read out, there was an uproar on the square. The first match was Liu Shuanghan, the young master of Qitian Sect and the champion of the last session. Many people began to feel sorry for Lei Feng. So pitiful. Liu Shuanghan walked out step by step from the crowd. His expression was expressionless as if he was a walking corpse. When he stepped onto the arena, he swept his cold eyes around and with a contemptuous smile, he said faintly, "Everyone will die." His voice was not loud. The power of breaking the void made his voice not encounter any resistance. Every word was transmitted clearly and everyone could hear it. "Presumptuous." On the elder's stand, an elder suddenly stood up and stared coldly at Liu Shuanghan on the arena with an angry expression. Many people were angry, but they didn't scold him. The power of the Qitian Sect should not be underestimated. Offending Liu Shuanghan at this time is extremely unwise. Liu Shuanghan sneered again and didn't say any more. His opponent, Lei Feng, stepped onto the arena step by step like thunder. He was as strong as an ox. His muscles burst out. His two thick eyebrows pointed straight into the sky. He held two Thor's hammers in his hands. There was lightning flashing on the hammers. He stared at Liu Shuanghan and said faintly, "Who lives and who dies is not certain yet!" Lei Feng is a disciple of Jinyang Palace. He is at the Reincarnation Realm and has remarkable strength. The two huge hammers in his hands are even top-grade immortal artifacts. His thunder-based skills are very powerful. Liu Shuanghan sneered again. The violent aura on his body emanated. He shouted coldly, "Die!" His body suddenly disappeared. The powerful aura inside the boundary pressed down overwhelmingly. Lei Feng's expression changed. Just as he was about to protect his chest with the double hammers, he felt intense pain from behind. Immediately after, his body cracked little by little. Strong light shot out from his body. He looked at the cracks all over his body with extremely terrified eyes and let out a hysterical shout. "Boom..." His body exploded and died, turning into dust. Not even a single bone was left. Liu Shuanghan stood in his original place with disdain on his face. The square around was quiet. You could hear a pin drop. Many people hadn't even reacted yet. It was as if it hadn't started yet. Everything happened so fast that they had no mental preparation at all. "Liu Shuanghan!!!" The master of Jinyang Palace roared like thunder. His whole body was filled with anger. The aura emanating from him soared into the sky. His voice broke the silence on the square. Then there was an intense discussion. The disciple ranking battle adheres to the principle of stopping when appropriate and minimizing casualties. But Liu Shuanghan unleashed a powerful attack as soon as he came up and didn't even leave a whole body. No wonder the master of Jinyang Palace was furious. Liu Shuanghan showed a cold smile and said faintly, "This is just the beginning."
