Chapter 176 Challenge
"you…"
"what…"
"this…"
Wan Daoxuan and the other two were all shocked and speechless.
As soon as the senior sister spoke, Guan Yingjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt that it would be more reliable for the senior sister to do it herself, but he was embarrassed to say "If I can't do it, you have to do it."
The three were not surprised by Mulan Qingqing's strength, but by her relationship with Wang Sheng.
Tang Zhen tried to ask, "Mulan, is it appropriate for you to have a public showdown about your relationship with him?"
Li Shanshan also asked: "Yes, it won't have any impact on your relationship, right?"
Mulan Qingqing: "It's okay, as long as you don't worry that I will let my hands go."
It's true that the three of them did have concerns in this regard. They had seen this woman protecting her man before, and they were worried that she would not dare to take strong measures and thus suffer losses in everyone's interests.
In a competition of strength, whether you dare to really take action may very well be the key to victory or defeat.
It is natural that you would be unwilling to fail to get the fat meat that is placed at your doorstep.
As for whether Wang Sheng would let them off, they didn't care. It would be better if he could, but the question was, did that scumbag look like someone who would let them off?
Now that Mulan and Qingqing took the initiative to point this out, the three of them felt embarrassed and looked like mean people.
Wan Daoxuan said hypocritically: "You worry too much. We still have confidence in you in this regard. You are a person who can clearly distinguish between public and private affairs."
Li Shanshan: “That’s right.”
Tang Zhen: "It would be best if you could help."
What else can we do if we don't say this? Even Guan Yingjie is not sure, how can they do it? It would be so embarrassing if they lose their interests and lose face.
Guan Yingjie could guess what they were thinking, and snorted, "Alright, stop saying things that are not what you mean. You can rest assured that since my sister has taken action, she will not disregard the interests of the sect, and will go all out and show no mercy."
This made the three of them feel much more relieved.
However, Wan Daoxuan still looked at a loss for words and said, "Brother Guan, what you said, how can we not believe Mulan?"
Then he waved his hand at everyone, "Okay, let's not say anything hurtful. He said that we can choose the time and place. Let's discuss the time and place. Mulan, when and where do you think you can better display your strength?"
Mulan Qingqing: "Whatever, if he doesn't choose, I don't have to choose either."
She was also quite proud and confident that no one among the participants from Shengshenzhou could be her match. Wang Sheng's statement that they could choose the time and place was a bit offensive to her pride.
She really wanted to see how capable Wang Sheng was. She didn't believe that she could be inferior to him in fighting.
Wan Daoxuan waved his hand again, "Don't, we know your relationship, but there's really no need to compete for face on such a matter. You can't be casual. Don't you know whether you are good at night battles? If you are good at night battles, let's fight tonight. If you are not good at night battles, let's wait until dawn. We are not mean people, and we can't be careless when there are so many people competing for interests."
Tang Zhen also said: "That's right. If Wang Sheng was just an ordinary person, we could treat him lightly. But now that we know he is extraordinary, it would be too rash to treat him lightly. We must never underestimate the enemy."
Guan Yingjie interrupted, "Let's wait until daybreak. It will be clearer when we can see the things. We can put it in the open space on the back of the mountain."
As a fellow disciple, he naturally knew the strengths and weaknesses of his own disciples.
The other three thought so too, and seeing that Mulan Qingqing had no objection, the matter was settled.
Wan Daoxuan and the other two then left together...
Xiang Lan'er is here.
It's not for any other reason, I just want to see how Shi Chun ends up.
After all, she came here with a mission in mind. Before the conference officially ended, she also wanted to observe a little more to see if there would be something that she had not discovered before, so that she could make a definite conclusion for the final summary.
After hearing the report, Wu Jinliang went to pick up the person in person. On the way, he asked Lan'er about the situation. Wu Jinliang did not hide anything and informed her of the current situation.
After entering the cave, she just nodded slightly in response to the greetings from Chu Jingtang and others, still looking depressed and taciturn after experiencing a huge shock. Now that she was among the crowd here, she had to continue acting.
Just after they sat down here for a while, Mai Zhanzhang came running over and said to Shi Chun, "Boss, Wan Daoxuan and his men are here. They said they accepted your challenge and asked you to go out and talk."
Shi Chun: "Why can't you just come over and say what you want to say? Why are you making people run around?"
Director Mai Zhan said, "That's what I said. They said that some things are better to be made clear and confirmed in public to avoid any reversals."
A smile appeared on Shi Chun's lips. He was so sure that it seemed that Mulan Qingqing had done it.
Without any pretense, he got up and left.
Except for the one who was guarding the Insect Crystal, everyone who could get out of the cave followed out to watch the fun.
In the end, a group of rabble led by Shi Chun, and a group of Xuanzhou elites led by Wan Daoxuan and three others, faced each other with a distance of ten feet between them.
Upon learning that Wang Sheng was a master, the attitudes of Wan Daoxuan and the other two changed genuinely this time. The hidden arrogance disappeared, and their smiles became more genuine.
Shi Chun didn't say anything and waited. There was no need to go around on the other side. Wan Daoxuan looked around and officially announced: "Brother Wang, Miss Mulan has spoken. This time, the rest of us will not participate. She will personally take over your tricks and compete with you!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Most of the elite troops were very excited, feeling that they had won. Some people were secretly skeptical. Because of Mulan Qingqing's relationship with Wang Sheng, would she suppress her fiancé in public? How would they get along in the future?
The mob was obviously frightened. No one thought that the leader could be a match for Mulan Qingqing.
Xiang Lan'er, who was watching from the sidelines, took a closer look at Shi Chun and knew that he had been preparing for the showdown with Mulan and Qingqing for a long time, and the situation had actually come to this point.
Shi Chun said, "Time and place."
Wan Daoxuan waved his hand and pointed behind him, "Over the two mountains, there is a large open space. After daybreak, we will have a competition there. Both sides should gather their troops and bring all the insect crystals. The winner will take all. After the competition, everyone will leave together and officially end this competition. What do you think, brother Wang? Do you have any questions?"
Shi Chun: "No, that's fine, let's do it this way."
Wan Daoxuan then said loudly to everyone: "The two sides will fight to determine the winner and end the dispute. The loser will have no regrets and must not make trouble again. Do you have any objections?"
Many people at the scene looked at each other in confusion. Some were still troubled, but in the end no one spoke.
After waiting for a while and seeing no one speaking, Wan Daoxuan said decisively, "Okay, since no one objects, it's settled! Let's all go and have a rest."
He waved his hand, signaling the end of the party, then politely bowed to Shi Chun, turned around and left.
Shi Chun also turned back to the cave. When he passed the cave entrance, he said to the guard, "I need to rest and recuperate. No one is allowed to enter without permission."
That's it. I don't want to bother with that bunch of rabble anymore. There's nothing for them to do anymore. I'll just go hide in the cave and have some peace and quiet.
"Okay." The guard at the door responded, let in those who could enter, and immediately blocked the entrance of the cave.
Soon, Director Mai Zhan, who wanted to find out more, was stopped outside.
Outside another cave, Mulan Qingqing stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the distant starry sky.
After Wan Daoxuan and the other two arrived, they reported, "It's settled. Nothing unexpected happened."
Mulan Qingqing nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Before leaving, Wan Daoxuan added, "I heard that it was you who accepted the challenge. Wang Sheng seemed very calm and didn't react at all."
Mulan and Qingqing didn't react at all. The three of them looked at each other and left.
Not long after they left, Mulan Qingqing also returned to the cave, sat cross-legged, unsheathed the long sword at her waist, pulled out a white handkerchief, and repeatedly wiped the sword with her slender fingers. The golden purple light flickered coldly on the sword...
The parade ground in the royal capital was already bustling before nightfall, and it was bustling like never before inside and outside the palace.
Outside the training ground, there were all kinds of luxury cars, all kinds of precious beasts pulling the cars, and all kinds of noble people coming and going, which made people from small sects dizzy. It was truly an eye-opener.
It was the last day of the conference. Not the entire city was in an uproar, but at least half of it was. The most exciting moment was about to come. There were too many people who wanted to come in and watch the excitement, but most of them were not qualified.
Accompanied by Elder Ke and Yin Huixin, Wukang Mountain's head, Bian Jixiong, walked into the training ground gate for the first time, and couldn't help looking around along the way.
Only three people from each sect could enter. When the sect leader came, the disciple from Wukang Mountain could only wait far away outside the venue. Although the training ground was large, its size was limited after all.
He was not the only sect leader who came here this time. There were also leaders from various sects whose disciples were attending the meeting. Most of those who could come came.
Even in the royal capital, it is extremely rare for so many leaders to gather together.
Elder Ke had just led Bian Jixiong to the Shengzhou seating area and was about to take him to the Wukangshan seating area along the aisle when a rather majestic voice called out, "Bian Jixiong."
When several people heard the sound, they looked and saw an old man with a fairy-like appearance, snow-white clothes and gray hair in the front, who raised his hand and waved.
Bian Jixiong was startled. He recognized Wu Handong, the great elder of Jieyun Mountain. His status was second only to the head of the sect. He did not dare to neglect him. He immediately turned around and walked out of the aisle. He walked quickly to the front row and greeted them, "Elder Wu is here, and Elder Lin is here too."
Neither Wu Handong nor Elder Lin beside him stood up. As the elder of the largest sect in Shengzhou, their weight was not comparable to that of the leader of a sect like Wukangshan.
Of course, he is not usually so arrogant, but this time he was obviously dissatisfied.
Wu Handong started questioning in front of everyone, "What's wrong with you Wukang Mountain? You teamed up with my Jieyun Mountain at the beginning, but why did you all run away? I heard that you attacked people from Shengzhou and even went to Xuanzhou to work hard. You Wukang Mountain are so two-faced, what do you want to do?"
Bian Jixiong had already heard about the relevant situation from Elder Ke. As soon as he heard the situation, he knew what his daughter was thinking. She actually dared to disobey the sect's decision. Not only was he furious, but then there were the two traitors, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang. He could hardly hold back his knife to clean up the sect.
Putting aside other things, he would definitely kill Shi Chun and Wu Jin if he returned, regardless of whether he could calm the anger of the Domain Lord or not, he had to do it in front of the Domain Lord to see. The old sect leader also meant that, so he could no longer care about his original plan.
He was the leader of a sect after all, and was scolded in public by the elders of another sect. With so many people from other sects watching, he felt a little embarrassed, with his face turning red and white. However, he did not want to lose his temper in public.
Not only did he have to endure it, he also forced a smile on his face, "My disciples are not doing well, I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I heard that the disciples of Jieyun Mountain performed well this time, and it seems that they have already pocketed a lot of Insect Crystals?"
In the face of questioning, he instead praised the other person in public, which quickly resolved a lot of embarrassment and showed his courage, which attracted attention.
Wu Handong stroked his beard when he heard this, and he looked a little smug. "I don't know either. I heard that Bai Shuchuan performed quite well and has a chance of winning the championship in Shengzhou. Well, that's too far-fetched. As long as he doesn't bring disgrace to Jieyun Mountain, that's enough."
