Chapter 222 Preparations Before Training
However, seeing Liu Xin like this, Zheng Xie's dead fish eyes did not fluctuate, and he only said: "Is it okay if you don't participate?"
As if she had expected Zheng Xie to say that, Liu Xin directly replied, "No."
"why not?"
"Because you promised me."
"Then I regret it."
"Talking doesn't count, it's not a man."
"Hehe, I just became a woman."
"Not even women."
"But I find it troublesome."
"It's good for you if you win."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Zheng Xie's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's the benefit?"
"Let you be promoted to the Life Decision Realm within three years."
"Three years?" Zheng Xie looked at Liu Xin suspiciously, and asked, "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
"Huh?" Liu Xin's astonishment flashed by, but she quickly continued: "No, no, how could it be?"
"Oh? Really not?"
"Of course, you have to trust me."
"That's it! Well, I can promise you, but I still have conditions." Zheng Xie rolled his eyes and said.
"What conditions?" Liu Xin asked.
"I want [-] million True Profound Stones."
Hearing this sentence, Liu Xin's old blood almost spurted out: "Why don't you grab it!"
"Snatch? How rude to scramble, I think I'm better than being strong." Zheng Xie twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Why? I don't agree! If I don't agree, you can find someone else! Anyway, I don't want to participate."
"Oh, you really think I can't cure you!" Liu Xin said angrily.
"Master Liu Gu is serious. To seek the greatest benefit for oneself, isn't that what you taught me?" Zheng Xie said with a smile.
At this moment, Liu Xin was really speechless by Zheng Xie's words, but she quickly recovered and said, "Okay, okay, I really can't beat you, just tell me honestly, what do you want to do to participate? "
Naturally, Zheng Xie didn't really want [-] million True Profound Stones, he just wanted to know more information, or get more real benefits, so in the next breath, he asked, "Tell me first what is this big campaign going to be?" what?"
"The big election can be said to be a big gathering of the six major forces..." After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "As I just said, it is held every 500 years, divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Let's try..."
"In short, the one with the most victories in the end is No.1, and it is also the head of the six major forces in the next 500 years. This is naturally more than just a title. As long as you get this No.1, except for every 100 years, the other In addition to paying tribute to the corresponding items from the five factions, they can also ask No.1, No.4, and the two factions of No.5 when they get No.5, a condition that they must absolutely agree to... ..."
"Must I agree?" Hearing this, Zheng Xie seemed surprised.
"That's right." Liu Xin nodded.
"So cool? What about No.2 and No.3?" Zheng Xie asked with a hint of interest.
"No. 2 can ask the faction that No. 1 didn't choose to agree to a condition. No. 3 doesn't have to pay or give. It's the safest ranking." Liu Xin explained.
"I see, it's quite tempting, but what if No.4 and No.6 don't want to?" Zheng Xie immediately asked a very realistic question. After all, this kind of ranking may not be convinced by all forces. Trouble is not out of the question.
"It's impossible to be unwilling, because the host is one of the most powerful cultivators in the Profound Sky Realm. If you don't fulfill the contract, then this person, regardless of the power this person belongs to, will be quickly wiped out by him. " Liu Xin said, there seemed to be some fear in her tone.
And to make Liu Xin become such a person, Zheng Xie understood how powerful that person was, but he was just curious that the baby Zheng Xie's question was not over. After turning his head, he continued to ask: "Then what is the purpose of this big campaign?" What? How do I feel, you have to participate, and you have to fall into it?"
"It should be for the stability of the Profound Sky Realm! After all, the six major forces usually have conflicts. If this conflict can be resolved in other ways, it can also make the Profound Sky Realm more peaceful." Liu Xin said.
"Is that so? Then it seems that the host still cares about the Heavenly Profound Realm..." Zheng Xie couldn't help muttering.
"Who knows? Maybe there are other reasons. Anyway, no one thinks about it now. Every time it's close to the big election, they just care about how not to be the last three, or how to become the top three." Top three." Liu Xin said realistically.
"It's natural. The loser becomes the subordinate, and the winner becomes the king. There is no shortage of people who become kings in any era, let alone you people with great influence." Liu Xin said with great experience, Although these experiences of his were also given to him by Liu Xin.
"Okay! Do you have any questions?" Liu Xin said.
Zheng Xie thought about it for a while, and after a thought, he said again: "How long will it take for this big campaign to start?"
"Three years!" Liu Xin replied.
"What about the conditions for participation?" Zheng Xie asked again.
But at this time Liu Xin hesitated for a while, and suddenly became silent unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Xie's eyes flashed, as if he had noticed something, he asked immediately.
Until the end, Liu Xin sighed, shook her head and said, "I didn't expect you to be asked this question, okay! Then I'll tell you."
"Huh?" Zheng Xie was suspicious.
Liu Xin continued: "Whether it is the upper, middle, or lower levels, the number of participants is limited to two people, and the cultivators who participate in the upper level competition must be in the spiritual realm or the Taoist realm, and the middle level competition is only allowed. Practitioners from all over the world will participate, and the final lower-level competition..."
"Could it only be a cultivator at the Life Decision Realm?" Suddenly, Zheng Xie asked.
Not caring about being interrupted, Liu Xin nodded and said, "That's right."
"Oh oh oh, what a routine!" At this time, Zheng Xie said with a clear face: "If you want me to participate, you must have my realm reach the final state, but now I only have the original state, so the three In a few years, even if I don't agree to you, you will still let me be promoted to the Life Decision Realm, and in this case, my conditions will be completely useless!"
There was no reply, Liu Xin just rolled her eyes.
"Hey, hey, you're so immoral! What about mutual trust? Sigh!" Zheng Xie said with a sad face.
"Pretend, keep pretending!" Liu Xin said, squinting at Zheng Xie.
Feeling Liu Xin's contemptuous eyes, Zheng Xie coughed dryly twice, and asked another question: "But why didn't you call your subordinates? Why did you have to call me?"
"For those who participate in the lower-level competition, the major forces have an unwritten rule, that is, only disciples can participate. In the past ten years, due to my absence, the situation in Huangnu Valley has deteriorated. Some people who are loyal to me While maintaining the order of Huangnv Valley, the high-level executives also have to resist the erosion of all parties, so there is no chance to recruit new disciples." Liu Xin said helplessly,
"It really doesn't sound very good." Zheng Xie murmured.
"Yeah." Liu Xin nodded, and continued: "Although Huangnvgu has recruited some casual cultivator disciples after I came back, some of these disciples have reached the perfection of the original state, or the half-step survival state. But a few months is not enough for me to trust them, do you understand?"
"I'm not a fool. Of course I understand that this big campaign is too important. How could you entrust such an important matter to people you don't believe in? If some of them are spies sent by the other five major forces, you will not If you choose this person carefully, then basically the victory of the lower class will become negligible." Zheng Xie said very understandingly.
"That's right, just choosing you directly to participate in the competition will definitely attract dissatisfaction from many people in Huangnu Valley, so in order to dispel their dissatisfaction, I decided to hold a competition in the valley first in two years and let them see you strength." Liu Xin said again.
But Zheng Xie frowned when he heard these words, and he said, "Hey, hey, this is not good! Although I don't know what level I will be able to cultivate in two years, but I am a big man, go fight Are those women a little bit of that? What's more, I don't seem to have promised you this matter yet? "
"Come on? I don't know what virtue you have? I've told everything now, and it's time for you to fulfill your promise. If you break the contract...Hmph!" Liu Xin said with a twitch of her mouth.
Seeing this, Zheng Xie broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately showed a look of obedience, but afterward, he pretended to say: "Uh... what about my conditions?"
"There are no [-] million True Profound Stones!" Liu Xin resolutely refused.
"Okay then! But other than that..." Suddenly, Zheng Xie, who had spoken here, immediately became serious in his eyes that seemed to be joking: "I have one more condition!"
As if feeling Zheng Xie's earnestness, Liu Xin was startled, and then asked: "What conditions."
Zheng Xie said directly: "If we become No.1 or No.2, if Li Mozong becomes the last three, and it is within our options, then I think you can give me the right to ask. "
"Huh?" Hearing this, Liu Xinxiu raised her eyebrows, because she really didn't expect Zheng Xie to say such a condition. Although he also investigated Zheng Xie's affairs in Li Mozong, he only knew that he had sentenced Li Mozong. She didn't know the specific reason for it very clearly, but Zheng Xie's condition at the moment made her guess a little.
"That is to say, if we fail to become No.1 and No.2, or if Li Mozong is not in the bottom three, your condition will be forfeited, right?" Liu Xin asked after thinking about it.
"That's right, I already said that I would do one thing for you, so this is a condition that shouldn't be raised. It's just that there are some things that I have to mention, so there is nothing I can do about it." Zheng Xie became more and more serious .
As for this, Liu Xin seemed generous, she smiled lightly, and said: "Since it is something you must do, then I have no reason to stop it, okay, I promise you."
"Hey, thank you!" Zheng Xie smiled and looked at each other.
"Okay, now that the deal has been concluded, from the day after tomorrow, I will train you even more inhumanely, you have to be ready!" Liu Xin said with a gloomy look.
When seeing Liu Xin like this for the first time, Zheng Xie was really a little scared, but now he doesn't have any fluctuations in his heart at all, and even wants to laugh a little.
Whenever there are only three years before the election, all forces will start preparations for this, because whether three years is long or short, it can give people a sense of oppression, and it can also give people time. All in all, these three years are a very important stage, and if you don't make good use of the power of these three years, there is only one end, that is, you must lose.
The night slowly became thinner, which indicated that the dawn of the next day was coming soon.
During this day, many people did not sleep, such as Liu Xin, but also many people slept soundly, such as Zheng Xie. Those who don't know what to do are more idle than the governor, which is almost the same reason.
Thus, the sun rises and the hour of the hour comes.
Today, because Liu Xin wanted to gather all the people in Huangnv Valley, in order to prevent accidents, the high-level officials of Huangnv Valley decided to close the valley for a day, and even drove out all the men who were stranded yesterday, making Huangnv Valley take a break. The child has become much cleaner.
Then, under Nangong Ya's call, within two hours, they all came to the Phoenix Terrace.
The Phoenix Terrace is a huge open space platform that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and at the very front of this platform, there is a black attic with a height of about six meters.
This black attic looks very important, outside it there are three women who are at the sky-watching level silently guarding it, and looking around, there are hundreds of life-defining auras permeating here, it can be seen that if someone does something to this black attic What, or what do you want to do to the people in the black attic, I'm afraid you won't survive.
At this moment, Liu Xin was standing calmly on the balcony at the highest point of the black attic, looking down at the densely packed crowd, her expression was extremely calm, and it seemed that there was still a touch of arrogance spreading from her body, as if showing that she was a The powerful momentum of the lord.
She came here today to announce two things. The first thing is that two years later, she will hold the Grand Competition in the valley, and the winner will participate in the big election with her. I hope that everyone in Huangnu Valley can take advantage of these two years. It was time to practice hard, and as soon as this remark came out, everyone below suddenly boiled, including the three Skywatchers who were guarding her, and they also became calm.
The second thing is that if someone wins the big election, then she will give a reward, but as for what kind of reward, Liu Xin didn't say, this made everyone's curiosity rise to the limit.
on the other hand.
In the open space in the front yard of the compound, the unknown strong man and Zheng Xie stood facing each other, and at this moment, they could also vaguely hear the excited and tender voices of those women.
The nameless strong man was called by Liu Xin in the morning, but his purpose of coming here was a bit strange, to help Zheng Xie make preparations before training, this was really unheard of.
"Is there still preparation work before training? Is she teasing me?" Zheng Xie asked involuntarily as he looked at the unknown strong man.
But the nameless strong man didn't answer Zheng Xie's question, he just said: "That's what she said, if you don't believe what I said, you can ask her after the preparations are over."
Zheng Xie naturally knew that only Liu Xin would do such a thing, so he didn't believe it, but he was rather surprised, but it also made him understand one thing, if you deal with Liu Xin every day, you must go beyond common sense. Otherwise, it must be me who was injured.
"Oh! Forget it." Zheng Xie sighed in his heart, but after thinking about it, he also had doubts about this "preparation work", so soon, he asked the unknown strong man: "Then what are you going to do?" ?”
"What are you doing?" However, Zheng Xie's words made the unknown strongman also have doubts. He raised his brows and asked very abruptly: "What are you doing? Didn't she say that after I came here, I can only tell you clearly that we need to prepare, and after you understand, will you tell me what to do?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Zheng Xie was taken aback, his eyes became more and more surprised, but immediately, he understood that Liu Xin not only wanted to see his own jokes, but also wanted to tease this "honest" unknown strongman Interviewer: "This... this guy..."
The nameless strong man is naturally not an idiot. Seeing Zheng Xie's reaction, he immediately realized that he had been fooled by Liu Xin, but he just laughed at himself and said, "It seems that if I want to adapt to this Valley Master, I still need to be able to get used to it." For a while!"
"Hmph, heh, I advise you not to get used to it, otherwise you will definitely regret it." Zheng Xie advised kindly.
"Huh? Why?" asked the nameless strong man.
"Why? How can I tell you? I can't say the specific reason, but getting to know someone is very painful. Not only can't sleep well for half a day, sometimes I can't even eat well, and even taking a bath is not reassuring. Wash, it's just too bad!" Zheng Xie said bitterly after turning his thoughts.
But looking at a nameless strong man like Zheng Xie, he saw something else. He smiled slightly and said softly: "It seems that you and her have a good memory!"
"Come on! Is it beautiful? It was a nightmare! It's just that in this nightmare, I got what I wanted." Zheng Xie said, suddenly recalling the life of that year.
"Did you get what you wanted?" The nameless strong man murmured, "It's really good!"
At this time, Zheng Xie seemed to have nothing to say, and after he stabilized his mood, he returned to his previous dead fish eyes, and said, "Okay, since it's a farce, then let's do it like this! I I'm leaving!"
After finishing speaking, Zheng Xie wanted to go back to sleep, after all, the nightmare would come again from tomorrow, and he wanted to take advantage of this spare time to take a good rest.
But to Zheng Xie's surprise, he had just taken two steps when the nameless strong man immediately stopped him: "Wait!"
Zheng Xie paused, looked at the unknown strong man hesitantly, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The nameless strong man was silent for a while before he said: "Because the owner of the valley gave me the order to do some pre-training preparations for you, so I think it's better for me to complete this task."
"What?" Zheng Xie frowned in confusion, but at this moment, a feeling of cheating suddenly appeared in his heart.
"It's okay!" The nameless strongman continued: "Although I don't know exactly what the preparations are, but since I don't know, then don't think about it. I will help you fix one... Don't worry! You Don't thank me."
"Crazy! It's all right! Thank you for your size!" Zheng Xie, who had reacted, yelled.
"Then, let's start now!" said the unnamed strong man, and after completely ignoring Zheng Xie's scolding, he took out his broken sword.
"Hey hey hey! What exactly do you want to do?" Seeing the appearance of the broken sword with terrifying power, Zheng Xie narrowed his eyes and was at a loss in his heart.
"It's nothing." As he spoke, the unnamed strong man gently waved the broken sword in his hand, causing a cyan halo to center on him and quickly spread around, enveloping Zheng Xie. .
The diameter of the aperture is about nine meters, like an enchantment. Seeing this aperture, Zheng Xie seemed a little dazed, and subconsciously asked, "This is... what?"
"My initial sword encirclement, that is, the enchantment formed by sword energy, is not very strong. You only need to break through this sword encirclement to complete the preparation, and then I have completed the task." The tone of the unnamed strong man remained indifferent. Said.
Hearing this, Zheng Xie let out a light snort, and with a slight movement of his thoughts, he seemed to understand something, and he relaxed, and said, "What! It turns out that I want to have an explanation for myself! That's right, this should be yours. The first task, if you can't even complete this, how can you mess around in the future?"
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand very well, in short, as long as I break this sword circle, it's all right?" Zheng Xie asked.
"En." The nameless strong man nodded, walked out of the sword enclosure, and looked at Zheng Xie quietly outside.
At this moment, in Zheng Xie's heart, he already thought that the reason why the nameless strong man did this was just to complete this task. Maybe so, he looked at the cyan halo surrounding him, and he was not as afraid as before. After all, he felt that , the nameless strong man is not the kind of person who likes trouble.
"Okay! Let's break this sword fence now!" A flash of determination flashed by, Zheng Xie moved his hands, and saw the appearance of earth arrows and fire bows, and the blue fire also appeared on his left shoulder. .
"Huh? The soul technique of the Soul Celestial Clan? And the secret technique of Li Mozong? This kid..." The nameless strong man thought with a little surprise in his heart.
And in the next breath, Zheng Xie pulled the fire bow into a full moon state, making the soil arrow directly turn into a three-color arrow, and then, facing the sword circle in front of him, he shot the arrow in his hand without hesitation. arrow.
In an instant, the arrow shot out, roaring and resounding, and touched the blue sword circle without any suspense.
But at the same moment, the thing that surprised Zheng Xie seemed to happen in his eyes. He saw that the extremely swift and violent arrow of the three colors, under the power of the green sword circle, was actually within the blink of an eye. If it didn't survive, it immediately turned to ashes until it was scattered with the wind.
So Zheng Xie, who saw this scene... was stunned.
