Chapter 416 The Eve of the War
The reason why the Seven-Star True Lord agreed so quickly was naturally related to his selfishness.
There are only a limited number of late-stage Jindan cultivators who can arrive at Liuhua Island within a month, so Lin Xuyan and Liu Wushuang from the Liangyi Sect will all participate in the battle. If the Soul-eating Old Demon can eliminate one of them, the Seven-Star True Monarch will certainly support it.
After all, these five duels were proposed by the Sangyu Kingdom, and the chance of the other party hiding evil intentions is very high. These five duels may not be ordinary dangerous. Therefore, whether it is Lin Xuyan or Liu Wushuang, if any one withdraws from the duel, it will be very harmful to the Liangyi Sect. All a good thing.
Lin Tiannan frowned: "I don't know who Soul Eater Daoist fellow Taoist will challenge to fight the golden elixir?"
"There is no limit to your thoughts."
The soul-eating old devil looked indifferently.
"Me?"
Not far away, Nian Wuya's eyes were sharp: "Old Soul-eating Demon, are you really so confident?"
"Hmph!"
The soul-devouring old devil smiled: "Nian Taoist friend is a hero in Xia Kingdom's immortal world, but I will never show mercy."
"So good!"
The two of them were instantly at war with each other.
Lin Tiannan gently flicked his sleeves: "Fellow Taoist Liuyun, please arrange a formation and let the two Jindan Taoists fight."
"Okay."
Outside the bamboo forest on the main peak, True Lord Liuyun set up an isolation and barrier formation to allow two golden elixirs to duel. Four Nascent Souls entered to watch the battle, while the rest were isolated. This battle was about the moves and details of the new combatants, so It will be a private duel.
……
"Senior Brother Ning..."
On the side, Liu Wushuang pursed her red lips: "Will Nian Wuya win?"
"Hard to say."
Ning Daoran shook his head.
"Why?"
Lin Xuyan said: "Brother, Nian Wuya and I have fought against each other in the past few days. This person's swordsmanship is extremely profound. Even if I use all my strength, I may not be able to say that I will win."
"It's very simple."
Ning Daoran said: "During the battle with True Lord Sanhua, Nian Wuya was injured and his vitality was damaged. This damage cannot be recovered in ten years or so, and the Soul-Eating Old Demon is a demon." Xiu, I know his methods better than you. In terms of fighting skills and fighting experience, Nian Wuya may really be inferior to the Soul-Eating Old Devil.”
"That's it..."
Lin Xuyan was slightly stunned.
In this case, if the Soul-Eating Old Devil challenged him, he would probably have little chance of winning.
Liu Wushuang bit her red lips and stopped talking.
After about a cup of tea, the formation dispersed.
Nian Wuya's face turned slightly pale, and he walked out of the formation with a long sword in his hand.
"Brother!"
Several Wanhua Sword Sect disciples stepped forward: "How?"
"Failed."
Nian Wuya looked pale and said: "I have humiliated the master..."
"Thinking of fellow Taoist."
Ning Daoran directly transmitted the message: "The soul-eating old devil is cunning by nature and has many hidden methods. Even if his combat power is not as good as yours, he can still defeat you with his methods, so don't worry too much about the outcome of this game. You lose." , but it is not necessarily weaker than him. In the future, you will have to hone your practical experience. Besides, the Soul-eating Old Demon is also fighting for the Xia Kingdom's Immortal Realm, the same."
"Thank you, Brother Ning..."
Nian Wuya felt much better and smiled.
……
Time flies, day by day passes very fast.
The worries in Ning Daoran's heart were getting more and more intense, and the smell of the conspiracy was getting stronger and stronger, but he still couldn't guess what kind of plot the Sangyu Kingdom had.
Late at night, on a cliff.
Four Nascent Souls stood tall, and Ning Daoran sat on a huge rock with his arms folded, and said: "Is there a possibility that although the monks sent by Sangyu Kingdom are late Jindan monks, in fact this Jindan In the later period, the monks have already achieved enough to become Ning Ying, so they broke through the ranks in the competition, were promoted to Nascent Soul, and then defeated our Golden Core to win?”
"The idea is far-reaching, but it is absolutely impossible."
Lin Tiannan smiled silently and said: "From breaking the pill to condensing the infant, and then consolidating the Nascent Soul, this process takes at least a year. Besides, when condensing the infant, there is a high probability that thunder tribulation will be triggered. If you break the level in the battle, you will be caught by the thunder tribulation. It is a nuisance, which is more conducive to the opponent's sneak attack. This is tantamount to seeking death and is absolutely impossible."
"That's it..."
Ning Daoran frowned: "Then I really can't understand why Sangyu Kingdom did this."
"Perhaps, it's just that Sangyu Kingdom wants to save its last face?"
True Lord Liuyun said: "In the battle of Liuhua Island, the main force of the monk army of the Sangyu Kingdom was extremely seriously damaged. If they retreated at this time, they would not be able to explain to the Sangyu Kingdom, so they came up with these five duel strategies. , in this way, after losing, they can pay some treasures and spiritual stones as compensation, and retreat to the Sangyu Kingdom."
"There is indeed a possibility."
The Seven-Star True Monarch said: "But if they seek defeat, the price they have to pay is too high. Three spiritual treasures, twenty magical treasures, plus ten million spiritual stones, this is not a small amount of money."
"Compared to the destruction of the entire sangyu country's immortal world, this price is considered small."
True Lord Lingfu also agreed with True Lord Liuyun.
"Little friend Ning."
Lin Tiannan said: "Are you worried about losing?"
"I'm not worried about that." Ning Daoran shook his head: "Even if our Xia Kingdom loses, there will be no loss. From now on, we will not invade each other with the Sangyu Kingdom, but I don't understand what they want to plot?"
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that you want to take advantage of this battle to kill a few more of the Xia Kingdom's golden elixir geniuses, so that there will be a gap in the Xia Kingdom's world of immortality?"
"Humph~~"
The Seven-Star True Lord smiled and said: "How can I, the golden elixir genius of Xia Kingdom, be so easy to kill?"
"Same."
Ning Daoran said: "By the way, why did the Soul-Eating Demon suddenly decide to participate in these five duels? After all, he is a person who can't afford to be early. Could he have some agenda? For example, the Soul-Eating Demon has actually been there for a long time. We have already fallen into the arms of Sangyu Kingdom. This battle is actually to make our Xia Kingdom lose a game in advance, so as to facilitate the situation of Sangyu Kingdom retreating completely?”
"Young friend Ning, you are worrying too much."
Lin Tiannan said with a smile: "The purpose of the Soul-Eating Demon's participation in this duel is actually to gain a favor from Lin. Firstly, he hopes that Lin can convince Ning Xiaoyou to turn the war with the Soul-Eating Demon into friendship. Secondly, the Soul-Eating Demon wants to To rebuild the Soul-Eating Cult, he chose Kunpeng The Broken Star Mountain, a fourth-level low-grade spiritual vein in the fairy city, hoped to buy Broken Star Mountain with a sum of spiritual stones, so he decided to use the head of a late-stage overhaul of the Sangyu Kingdom's Golden Pill as a certificate of submission, so he had a substitute for Nian Wuya. Participate in the competition.”
‘I’m going to…’
Ning Daoran secretly cursed, the Soul-Eating Old Devil was really useless and couldn't afford to be early, damn, his plan turned out to be here!
"Little friend Ning."

Lin Tiannan said sternly: "If the old soul-eating demon can win this battle, are you willing to put aside your grudges and turn the hostility between you and the soul-eating demon into friendship? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. Lin will not force this matter. After that, Xiaoyou Ning will ask After killing the old soul-eating demon, this city lord turned a blind eye and pretended not to know about it.”
"That's fine."
Ning Daoran said: "There is no life-or-death grudge between the Soul-Eating Old Demon and me. If he wants to resolve the grudge, Ning is willing to nod."
"Yes."
Lin Tiannan flicked his sleeves, and a storage bag floated over, saying: "There are one hundred thousand spiritual stones in this bag, which was handed over to you by the old soul-eating demon Tuo Lin."
"Okay."
Ning Daoran accepted it immediately.
In fact, it's not because of greed for money, it's just that I don't want to make any more enemies in the Xia Kingdom's immortal world. If a demon like the Soul-eating Old Demon targets him, it might be quite troublesome. I'm not afraid of this person, but the Chaos Sect is extremely afraid of this person.
……
A few days later.
The two sides exchange lists of contestants.
Late at night, the lights were brightly lit in the living room, and Lin Tiannan and Qixing Zhenjun came to see everyone participating in the war with a list of names.
A piece of tissue paper floated down on the table, with the names of the five people from the Sangyu Kingdom written on it: Chi Laogui, Honglu Zhenren, Jing Tiancheng, Bubai Taoist, and Huo Canzi.
Ning Daoran frowned. Although he had killed many monks from the Sangyu Kingdom, he didn't know much about the well-known figures in the immortal cultivation world of the Sangyu Kingdom. Of these five people... he didn't know more than half of them!
"Hmph, people like Old Ghost Chi have already come into play." Lin Xuyan said: "In the past few battles with me, when did Old Ghost Chi not run away with his tail between his legs?"
Lin Baoping and Liu Wushuang chuckled.
"Don't underestimate the enemy."
Ning Daoran frowned and said, "What if Old Ghost Chi hides something?"
"Yes, brother taught me a lesson!"
Lin Xuyan has a humble attitude.
On the side, the soul-eating old devil frowned, but he didn't know why this genius of the Liang Yi Sect was so respectful to Ning Daoran.
"Who is Master Honglu?" Ning Daoran asked.
"A casual cultivator from Sangyu Kingdom, there is not much information about him."
The Seven-Star True Monarch said: "I only know that this person has all his tricks, is cunning and insidious, and..."
He glanced at the Soul-Eating Old Demon beside him and said: "It is somewhat similar to Soul-Eating Taoist Fellow."
The soul-devouring old devil was a little embarrassed: "Senior is so complimentary..."
"Who is Jing Tiancheng?" Ning Daoran asked.
"Never heard of it."
Lin Tiannan shook his head and said: "There is no information about this person in Kunpeng Immortal City. It is very likely that he is Jin Dan who changed his name. If you meet this person, you must be careful."
Everyone nodded.
Lin Xuyan said: "I know Taoist Bubai. He hid his head and tail in the previous battles and was extremely careful. His combat power is relatively ordinary in the late Jindan stage."
"Sangyu State sent this kind of thing out? What do you want?" Ning Daoran fell into deep thought.
"Is it really just a formality to give this victory to my Xia Kingdom's Immortal Realm?" Lin Baoping was speechless.
"Where's Huo Canzi?"
Ning Daoran said: "Have you ever heard of this person?"
"Never."
Lin Tiannan shook his head: "I'm afraid it's also someone who changed his name. I'm afraid this person's specific identity will only be known in three days."
Ning Daoran was silent.
What a miscalculation!
After all, the people in the Xia Kingdom's immortal world are still too upright. If they had known it earlier, they should have used some tricks. Everyone should not reveal their true identity. They should change their Taoist names or something to report to them. They didn't give the other party any preparation. It was a miscalculation. It was really a miscalculation. !
However, there is no point in regretting this matter. It is just a matter of taking it one step at a time.
……
Three days later.
One treasure boat after another rose from Liuhua Island. Ning Daoran and the other five people were protected by several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and rushed from Liuhua Island to the distant Banyue Island. At the same time, he glanced around and sensed that there was something hidden in the darkness. There were several Yuanying auras that were vaguely visible. Lin Tiannan must have stepped up his efforts and invited more Yuanyings to participate in the battle. If the Sangyu Kingdom had taken measures to deal with it.
Soon after, the treasure boat broke through the clouds and landed on a desert island. There were like clouds of monks from both sides watching the battle. The center of the desert island had been renovated and countless viewing seats had been built. It seemed that both sides valued these five duels. , there were even many reporters from the Cultivation World newspaper, with their photo balls ready to record everything at any time!
