Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 40 Sect Grand Competition (5)

By the time Xie Jing arrived, Ji Tinghan's competition was already over.

When Jian Muyi saw him arrive, she chattered on and on, gesturing to him about the scene. According to Jian Muyi's description, Ji Tinghan held a pen in one hand and made a hand seal with the other, killing everything in his way, and then got tenth place.

Ji Tinghan was somewhat frustrated because he believed that his talisman drawing would easily get him into the top three. However, the top three were two members of the Wen family, and one was a member of a collateral branch of the Wen family. The rest of them were more or less related to the Wen family. Only he and Linghaizong were among the few talisman cultivators who squeezed into the top ten.

Xie Jing was quite satisfied with the result and, for the first time ever, praised Ji Tinghan. However, his disciples, who were used to Xie Jing's sarcastic remarks, were momentarily unsure whether he was praising or scolding him.

"By the way, where's your senior sister? Isn't the array formation competition over yet? Are Shi Ming and the others over there? Come on, let's go check it out!"

It was clear that Xie Jing was in a good mood and seemed quite satisfied with Ji Tinghan's performance in the competition. Ji Tinghan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xie Jing said he didn't expect them to achieve any good results, he still hoped they would produce some success. He didn't want to disappoint his master.

Xie Jing ignored Ji Tinghan's miscellaneous thoughts and sat down next to Shi Ming without any airs, starting to search for Luo Zai Shui's figure in the bronze mirror.

"Hey? Where's your Uncle-Master Lu?" Xie Jing suddenly realized that his two senior brothers should be with them. Why couldn't he find them?

Xue Xin pointed in the direction of his master: "Master and the others are sitting over there, not with us."

Xie Jing then noticed that the unknown young man from the Wen family was sitting in the main seat, while the elders from other sects and families sat below, and many members of the Wen family were watching their every move.

He clicked his tongue impatiently: "The Wen family certainly has a grand air about them."

"It seems that Junior Uncle hasn't heard about what happened in the recent competition."

"What happened during the competition?"

Shi Ming's words piqued Xie Jing's interest.

Shi Ming carefully reported the events of the past few days to Xie Jing.

Su Wusi seized the opportunity and said to Xie Jing, "Junior Uncle, there was also a strange person just now who kept pulling Senior Sister and saying that she looked like the head of the Luo family and didn't seem like a good person."

Standing to the side, Nie Xushuang gave Su Wusi a deep look, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon hearing Su Wusi's words, Xie Jing immediately inquired about the details of what happened.

Su Wusi and Shi Ming told Xie Jing everything that had happened and what the person looked like.

Xie Jing smiled slightly after hearing this, and patted Shi Ming on the shoulder: "Well done, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Shi Ming wanted to ask him something more, but Xie Jing was clearly unwilling to say more. Since Xie Jing was an elder, Shi Ming didn't press him for details and had to patiently watch the Luo Zai Shui competition.

Luo Zai Shui thought he had arrived at the mountaintop quite early, but little did he know that several members of the Wen family were already waiting there.

Luo Zai Shui's eyelids twitched a few times. The Wen family really had a lot of people. There was one group competing in swordsmanship and another group competing in formations. Moreover, this cheating was far too blatant.

The last great formation at the mountaintop was right in front of her. She looked around but didn't see Chu Yeli, so she casually found a rock and sat down.

The Wen family members gathered together nearby, constantly making sarcastic remarks.

"Isn't this Senior Sister from Xianyun Peak? Why is she stopped here too? I'm afraid she's not going to make it."

"Of course she can't do it. Didn't you see that she's slower than us going up the mountain? Even the gentle young master couldn't break the formation, how could she possibly break it?"

"That's it."

Wenrun, flattered by the praise, burst into laughter, seemingly certain that he would become the leader of the formation.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Luo stood up at the water station, dusting himself off: "Why did you take so long?"

Chu Yeli exhaled a breath of stale air: "I encountered a few formations on the way, and I thought I would just break them casually, which delayed me a bit."

Luo Zai Shui extended an invitation: "Shall we go? Or do you want to rest for a while?"

Chu Yeli straightened his back and stepped forward: "Of course we'll leave now. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, let's see who is the real genius in this array."

Luo Zai Shui smiled knowingly and entered the last great formation with him.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Wenrun's expression suddenly changed: "Let's go! Let's go in too!"

The people behind him began to flinch: "But Young Master Wen didn't... and this formation is a fierce one, said to be unbreakable..."

"What's there to be afraid of! They're in there too, aren't they? I'd like to see how much they can say!"

As soon as he stepped into the formation, Chu Yeli disappeared again, and the surrounding scenery had already changed.

This place seems to be an ancient battlefield, with lone smoke rising from the desert and dust billowing. Long spears of varying lengths are stuck in the ground, and half of the armor and skeletons on the ground are buried in the sand, while the other half are eroded by the wind and sand. A gust of wind rises, carrying sand and stones that slap wildly against your face, and you can almost hear the distant wails.

Luo Zai Shui was seeing such a formation for the first time and couldn't help but feel a little bewildered. This was different from a killing formation, which was full of dangers, and it was also different from an illusion formation, which was ready to trap people here for eternity. On the contrary, there seemed to be no danger here, and it would not trap her forever. She only needed to take a step back to reach the gate of life, but if she took that step back, then she would have failed to break the formation.

This was the first formation that she felt at a loss for how to proceed.

Upon seeing the formation where Luo Zai Shui and Chu Ye Li were located, Xie Jing could no longer sit still.

This is an ancient formation used to suppress the vengeful spirits of those who died in ancient times. These vengeful spirits committed too many sins in their lives and could not be reincarnated, so they could only be suppressed by the formation. If they break this formation, not to mention whether they can survive, even if they do survive, they will be sinners in the world.

Several elders outside the arena recognized it as an ancient spirit-suppressing array. One of them stood up and questioned, "May I ask why the Wen family dared to choose a spirit-suppressing array as part of the competition? If this array is broken, the land will be devastated! What are the Wen family's intentions?"

Wen Lian lazily raised his eyelids and yawned: "Isn't this to test the disciples? This is an ancient formation, and I'm sure no one can break it. Even if it is broken, it will be the disciples of Linghai Sect and Xianyun Peak who broke it, and Linghai Sect and Xianyun Peak should take responsibility. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"you!"

An elder beside him pulled him down to sit and whispered in his ear, "Even we can't break this formation, let alone those little kids. Don't worry, and don't get into a fight with the Wen family."

"What, you too..."

The elders of Linghai Sect and Xianyun Peak below the stage were already sweating profusely. They gripped their sleeves tightly, staring intently at the movements of the two people in the bronze mirror, ready to act at any moment should the mirror break.
