YM778.TV Chapter 1265: Competition, Fight!
Su Xiaoxiao got into Granny Nie’s carriage.
Wei Ting followed.
Granny Nie asked, “Why are you up here?”
Wei Ting glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. “My wife.”
“Little Ting!”
It was the Palace Lord’s voice.
Wei Ting opened his mouth. “Mother, I’m here.”
The competition was based on the sect.
As the youngest son of the Palace Lord, he naturally had to ride in the same carriage as his Mother Palace Lord and Father Duanmu.
As for Su Mo, Wei Liulang, and Jing Yi, they sat in another carriage.
When it was almost noon, they arrived at the South Island Dragon Mountain.
The venue of the martial arts competition was halfway up the mountain. The Xiahou family’s palace was in the east, and the martial arts arena was in the west.
The foot of the mountain was already filled with carriages and martial artists who were about to go up the mountain.
Just like the one-month-old ceremony, the four major sects had the priority to go up the mountain. The straw shed where the carriages were parked was also separated from the other sects.
“We’ll go up first.”
The Palace Lord said to Su Xiaoxiao, Su Mo, and the others.
Wei Ting looked at Su Xiaoxiao worriedly. “Why don’t you come with us?”
Su Mo stood beside Su Xiaoxiao and counterattacked Wei Ting. “What’s the use of going up first? You can’t stay and peel walnuts for Sister.”
Wei Ting muttered, “Su Mo, come out and fight!”
Wei Ting, the Palace Lord, and Wei Xu went up the mountain.
After that were the other large sects.
Su Xiaoxiao met Lu Aotian and waved at him.
Lu Aotian looked at her and Granny Nie in surprise, then at Wei Ting and the other two, who had already walked away. “You… you’re…”
Su Xiaoxiao waved the pair of cards in her hand.
Lu Aotian was dumbfounded.
After going up the mountain, the four sects were qualified to stay in the Xiahou family’s palace. The rest would have to set up tents at the foot of the mountain.
However, considering Granny Nie’s contribution to treating Xiahou Yi, Xiahou Qing also got someone to invite Granny Nie and Su Xiaoxiao to stay with him.
Xing’er went to place her luggage while Su Xiaoxiao and Granny Nie went to the martial arts arena to draw lots.
Wei Ting was already waiting there.
“Are you done?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“I’m done,” Wei Ting said. “Eleven, the other eleven hasn’t been drawn yet.”
Su Xiaoxiao said awkwardly, “It can’t be me, right?”
That would be too unlucky to have to eliminate one of their troops in the first round.
She reached into the box and drew a stick.
“Ten… One… Phew! It’s one!”
Wei Ting muttered, “Are you very happy to be mischievous?”
Wei Ting had been standing here for a long time. He remembered everyone who had drawn.
He said, “Your opponent is Saintess Red Lotus of the Lotus Sect.”
“She?”
Su Xiaoxiao had an impression of this person.
On the night that the major sects attacked the Hundred Flower Palace, Saintess Red Lotus barged into the Flying Cloud Palace with the disciples of the Lotus Sect and fought with the Saintess for a long time.
In the end, she was saved by an elder of the Lotus Flower Sect.
Although she did not witness the battle between the two of them with her own eyes, according to Jing Yi’s memories, the Saintess Red Lotus’ martial arts were extremely high. Even the Saintess had to spend a lot of effort to defeat her.
The two of them arrived at the side so that the people behind could continue drawing lots.
Wei Ting said, “Your luck isn’t very good.”
“You make it sound like you’re very lucky.” Su Xiaoxiao gave the lottery platform a look.
“Eleven?”
The purple-clothed man looked at the lot in his hand and threw it calmly on the table.
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes. “Hidden Sword Villa, thevPurple Marquis.”
That night when they attacked the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Purple Marquis was also there. He fought back and forth with Ji Minglou.
Although it should be noted that Ji Minglou had consumed too much energy in advance; the Purple Marquis was definitely not Ji Minglou’s match at his peak.
However, it was undeniable that Purple Marquis was definitely an existence that made people shrink back.
Su Mo, Wei Liulang, and Jing Yi were in a chaotic battle. There was no need to draw lots. It would be over after they went up.
After the two disciples of the Fire Slaughter Sect finished drawing their lots, Lu Aotian immediately came over to ask the two of them if they had matched them.
Lu Aotian said, “We drew 8 and 10.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m 1, Wei Ting 11.”
“Phew!”
Lu Aotian let out a long sigh.
10 and 11 were only one number away. He needed a candy to calm down!
Seats were set up on three sides of the arena. The best viewing spot was the observation platform opposite.
Xiahou Qing, Xie Jinnian, and the four elders of the City Lord Manor came.
On his left was the Assassin Alliance, and on his right was the Heavenly Jade Hall, but he selfishly arranged for the Hundred Flowers Palace to be here.
He wanted to see Ling Yun, but he quickly realized to his disappointment that Ling Yun didn’t come at all.
The Heavenly Jade Hall was on the other side of the Flower Palace.
Madam Ji’s face was cold. “Why is the Hundred Flowers Palace here this year? They even snatched our Heavenly Jade Hall’s observation platform the moment they arrived!”
Ji Minglou had no objections. Perhaps he didn’t listen at all. From time to time, his gaze would pass through the jade bead curtain to look at the Palace Lord sitting on the futon.
Su Xiaoxiao was the first to appear.
The Palace Lord’s mind was filled with her beloved daughter-in-law, so she couldn’t be bothered with Ji Minglou’s gaze.
However, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
She frowned.
Wei Xu stood up and changed seats. He sat down on the other side of the Palace Lord.
His tall body was like a mountain, completely blocking the Palace Lord.
The corners of Ji Minglou’s mouth twitched.
Xiahou Qing gave a speech and said some official words before announcing the start of the martial arts competition.
The four elders of the City Lord Manor were the judges of this martial arts competition.
Elder Li announced the rules of the martial arts competition. It was not a stop. Instead, swords and sabers had no eyes. One was responsible for his life and death.
After one side admitted defeat, the competition ended.
After one party left the arena, the competition ended.
If one party fell to the ground and lost their combat strength, the other party would win.
If both sides fell to the ground and could not get up, they would both be eliminated.
After the competition ended, those who continued to pursue and fight would be regarded as provoking the rules of the competition and would be killed by the Elder Council.
“Excuse me, excuse me…”
Lu Aotian passed through the crowd and squeezed to a row of luxurious observation platforms. He said to the guard, “I’m looking for the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace!”
Palace Lord said, “Sect Master Lu, please.”
The guard let him pass.
Lu Aotian stepped onto the observation platform and sat down on the left side of the Palace Lord.
He looked up and met Ji Minglou’s gaze.
He glared fiercely. “What are you looking at!”
Ji Minglou’s eyes hurt as he gasped and turned around.
Lu Aotian turned around again and opened the bead curtain. He cupped his hands at Xiahou Qing and Xie Jinnian. “City Lord, Second Young Master.”
Xiahou Qing nodded slightly.
Xie Jinnian smiled.
As the guards of the Xiahou family rang the gong, the first match officially began.
Saintess Red Lotus used her qinggong and leaped up.
Exclamations instantly erupted below the stage.
“It’s Saintess Red Lotus of the Lotus Sect!”
“She’s Sect Master Lian’s proudest disciple. It’s said that she’s the next sect master! Who’s so unlucky to go against her?”
“That’s right. She almost beat the Assassin Alliance in the martial arts competition three years ago!”
“I saw it on the drawing platform just now. Saintess Red Lotus’s opponent seems to be the successor of the Jin family!”
“The descendant of the Jin family? Who is it? I’ve never heard of him!”
“You’ve heard of Granny Ghost, right? She’s her successor!”
“I admit that Granny Ghost is very powerful, but with all due respect, I don’t think highly of her successor. If the other party had some ability, she wouldn’t be completely unknown on the island. I bet that Saintess Red Lotus will win this round!”
