"Fine, this is the last chance."
Qingwei seemed to have made up her mind and said, "The ten-year grand competition of sword qi is coming soon. If you can make it into the top three, you can stay."
"what?!"
"You might as well just let him smash his head against the Ancestral Master's Hall and die!"
Cang Gu rushed to Qing Wei, both angry and anxious. "Sect Leader, what are you saying? Compete for the top three? You might say that to Chang Qing, but you want Chu Yang to win the top three? You might as well just kick him off the mountain right now!"
"If anything unforeseen happens in the future, at least I can leave with a complete corpse!"
Xu Changqing quickly stepped forward and grabbed his master.
Cang Gu sprayed his saliva all over Qing Wei's clothes, but after a flash of light, the clothes were clean and new.
Qingwei's eyelids twitched, thinking to herself, "Isn't this exactly what I wanted to do to make him back down?"
Why are you in such a hurry?
If it weren't for his two disciples, Qingwei would have started cursing right now.
Chu Yang had been in Shu Mountain for many years, and Qingwei knew his personality well: cautious and timid, he would never take any risks.
To put it bluntly, it's about being a coward.
Why would someone like that risk participating in the sword qi contest?
The so-called Sword Qi Conflict is an agreement between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect: whoever wins will be allowed to use the name "Shushan" as their sect name for the next ten years.
The Shushan Immortal Sword Sect.
The Shushan Sect won, while the Xianjian Sect lost.
The once-a-decade sword aura competition has a very high casualty rate, especially in the ranking matches where players make it into the final ten.
The top three were almost the only ones to survive to the end, and because of this, the two factions, which originally belonged to the same origin, became increasingly estranged.
In Qingwei's view, Chu Yang would definitely not participate, so she used this as an opportunity to force him to come down the mountain.
"it is good!"
Chu Yang replied.
Qingwei nodded and smiled, "Your choice is wise. In that case, then..."
Her words abruptly stopped, and Qingwei stared at Chu Yang in disbelief.
Cang Gu and Xu Changqing were also stunned.
Cang Gu rebuked in a deep voice, "You want to participate in the Ten-Year Grand Competition? Are you crazy?"
"Master..." Since he hadn't become a formal disciple, Chu Yang changed his words on the spot: "Elder, I'm not crazy, please give me another chance."
Cang Gu was so angry he jumped up and down. "I know your desire for the Dao, but you must know that you can only cultivate the Dao while you are alive. The dead cannot cultivate the Dao."
Qingwei looked at Chu Yang with a puzzled expression, wondering why the child's temperament was different from before. Could it be that he had suffered too much trauma?
Xu Changqing quietly moved to Qingwei's side and whispered a few words in her ear.
Upon hearing this, Qingwei's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Ayang, come forward."
Chu Yang walked over.
Qingwei grabbed Chu Yang's hand, suppressing Chu Yang's body with terrifying magic power, and then chanted incantations.
Cang Gu was shocked. "Sect Leader, what are you doing? Why are you chanting the Demon-Subduing Incantation?"
A moment later, the incantation to subdue demons was finished.
Chu Yang looked at Qingwei blankly.
Qingwei felt a little embarrassed and checked Chu Yang's body and primordial spirit again, but found no problems.
"Thankfully, you're all safe and sound."
Qingwei let go of Chu Yang's arm and turned to glare fiercely at Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing was completely innocent; he had only mentioned the possibility to Qingwei.
It was Qingwei herself who recited the Demon-Subduing Incantation without hesitation.
Cang Gu took a while to react, his blood boiling, and he roared at the two of them.
"Just because he said he wanted to participate in the 10-year grand competition, you think he's been possessed?"
"Is he really that bad?!"
"You guys are too much!!"
Chapter 131: Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil, the Magical Treasure Given by the Sect Leader!
131.
After confirming that Chu Yang was the original, Qingwei and Xu Changqing both breathed a sigh of relief, and Cang Gu's anger could be ignored for the time being.
Qingwei looked at Chu Yang with a serious expression and asked, "I'll ask you one more time, do you really want to participate in the Sword Qi Competition?"
Chu Yang nodded firmly; there was no way he would leave the Shu Mountain Sect!
“Your heart is so determined to pursue the Dao, but alas…” Qingwei sighed and looked up at the sky, then nodded, “Fine, just pretend I never said that before, you stay on the mountain.”
Cang Gu immediately fell silent upon hearing this.
Xu Changqing looked at Chu Yang with delight, knowing that from now on, the sect leader would no longer mention letting Chu Yang go down the mountain.
"Sect Leader, I still want to participate in the Sword Qi Competition."
Chu Yang's voice echoed in the hall, catching the other three off guard!
"You're really pushing your luck! If you keep spouting nonsense to me, I'll slap you even in front of the patriarch!"
Cang Gu's blood pressure was like a rollercoaster today, going up and down more than ten times. He really couldn't take it anymore and wanted to give his unfilial disciple a loving lesson!
Xu Changqing walked to Chu Yang's side and whispered, "Junior brother, know when to stop. Even if the sect leader is kind-hearted, don't keep saying such irresponsible things."
Seeing Chu Yang's resolute expression, which didn't seem like he was just saying things out of anger, Qingwei was moved and asked, "Why is it like this?"
Chu Yang replied, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."
Xu Changqing took a few steps back, looked at his junior brother Chu Yang, who had been with him for many years, and showed an expression of admiration.
Cang Gu stopped getting angry and stared blankly at Chu Yang, feeling that he was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Although my talent for cultivation is limited, my talent for martial arts is not bad."
Chu Yang said confidently.
The cultivation methods of the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect are completely different. The Sword Sect emphasizes entering the Dao through martial arts, first cultivating martial arts to strengthen the body.
The Qi Sect, on the other hand, follows ancient methods, cultivating internal and external alchemy techniques. They refine the golden elixir internally and ingest elixirs externally to sense the Dao of Heaven and generate magical power before considering practicing martial arts and magic.
The only thing the two sects have in common is that they both require entering the world to cultivate, descending the mountain to subdue demons and monsters, and using a chivalrous heart to help people in the world.
This is the core concept of the Shu Mountain Sect, and it will not disappear because of the conflict over sword energy.
"Martial arts?"
Qingwei was skeptical. If Chu Yang really had martial arts talent, then it was the Qi Sect that had delayed his cultivation all these years.
"Changqing, why don't you spar with your junior brother?"
Qingwei waved his whisk, and the four figures in the main hall disappeared at the same time, instantly appearing in a deserted bamboo forest.
We can't exactly let them fight in front of the portrait of the patriarch, can we?
Xu Changqing achieved mastery of Qi cultivation at a very young age and spent a considerable amount of time practicing martial arts; he was also a martial arts genius.
Qingwei felt that as long as Chu Yang could withstand twenty moves, he would be able to protect himself in the sword qi competition.
He bent down and picked up two bamboo leaves from the ground, throwing them to Chu Yang and Xu Changqing respectively. The bamboo leaves transformed into two bamboo swords in mid-air and landed in the hands of the two men.
"Stop when you've made your point."
Before the fight began, Cang Gu suddenly spoke.
Xu Changqing, understanding the unspoken message, respectfully replied, "Master, rest assured, I will not harm Junior Brother A-Yang."
Cang Gu glared at him angrily.
Xu Changqing scratched his head blankly, wondering what he had done to upset his master.
"Senior brother, I'm about to draw my sword."
Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh, and tapped the bamboo beside him with his sword to remind Xu Changqing.
Cang Gu was clearly only offering a hint behind his back, but he insisted on saying it out loud, making others feel awkward.
Xu Changqing possesses emotional intelligence, but not much of it. Fortunately, he is upright and has a childlike heart.
"Junior brother, please draw your sword."
Xu Changqing was on high alert and did not reveal the slightest flaw. It was not because he valued Chu Yang so much, but because he was used to the teachings of his master and elders.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he still needs all his strength.
