Chapter 654 White Invitation
Although Jia Ruoyan was smiling at the moment, no one dared to provoke her easily.
Several powerful sect teams had a tacit understanding not to attack each other, nor did they plan to start a war with Jia Ruoyan.
The time of burning incense passed quickly, and finally there were only five sect teams left on the field. Among them, only Tianxiangju still has three monks present, and the other four sects only have two monks present.
Obviously, Tianxiangju became the target of public criticism, and they themselves were aware of this. After a while of whispering, they selected a monk from Tianxiangju to withdraw from the venue.
At this point, there are still five sects with a total of ten monks left on the field, and the selection of the top ten has finally been settled!
Although Zhuang Zhengqi only had a faint smile on his face, he was really happy in his heart.
He originally expected Muzhou to play and win a top ten spot for him, but he didn't expect that it would be Jia Ruoyan, a dark horse, who would help him win an invitation.
"Muzhou is exaggerating, but the strength of the two Zhang Daniu brothers should not be underestimated. It seems that I will have to be more considerate in the future so that they can serve our sect willingly!" Zhuang Zhengqi thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, Jia Ruoyan had come down from the ring and was standing behind Liang Yan very obediently. The veteran of the Ningyang Sect stepped forward again and announced to everyone the ownership of the twenty invitations.
Among them, the top ten monks each received one, and the five sect leaders at the end each received one. The remaining five were awarded to those monks who performed particularly well.
As a small sect with not very strong power, the Huxin Sect was able to get three invitations, which made many people look at Zhuang Zhengqi in a new light.
As for Zhuang Zhengqi himself, he had already arrived in front of Liang Yan and Jia Ruoyan. With a smile on his face, he held his hands towards them and said, "The magical powers of the Zhang brothers and sisters are indeed extraordinary. This time our Huxin Sect has become famous in one fell swoop. It’s up to you two to help!”
Jia Ruoyan pursed her lips and smiled, while Liang Yan shook his head and said: "The sect master has given you too much praise. Since my brothers and sisters have joined the sect and received the sect's offerings, we will naturally contribute to the sect."
Zhuang Zhengqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "It's really valuable for Elder Zhang to have such an idea. As for the invitation, the one your sister got, naturally belongs to her, and the one from Elder Sheng, I mean Give it to Elder Zhang, and then our sect will compensate Elder Sheng from other places."
When Sheng Chi on the side heard that he was going to hand over his invitation, his expression immediately changed. You must know that those who hold the invitation will have the opportunity to read the legendary Yellowstone Book. Although the chance of enlightenment is very small, it is still an opportunity after all.
However, he also knew that he had benefited from Jia Ruoyan, and Liang Yan had saved his life, so he couldn't say anything against it and could only nod helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Sect Master, it doesn't have to be like this. In fact, our brother and sister had some adventures four years ago and have already received an invitation."
"oh?"
Zhuang Zhengqi was happy when he heard this, but then he said: "I wonder if Elder Zhang can take out the invitation and let me wait and see. After all, Huangshi Mountain released the news in advance, and many forged invitations have appeared in Nanchui in recent years, especially some After all, for a small and remote country, being able to go up to Mount Huangshi to read the Yellowstone Book is a great opportunity!"
"You can do anything!"
Liang Yan didn't take Zhuang Zhengqi's words to heart at all. After all, the invitation in his hand came from Yuan Jiuling, a monk with half a foot in the golden elixir. There was no reason to deceive him.
He took out a small sandalwood box from his storage bag and pushed the lid open, revealing the jade-white invitation inside.
As soon as the invitation appeared, Zhuang Zhengqi and Sheng Chi's expressions immediately changed, and they both showed expressions of disbelief.
Liang Yan looked on, puzzled, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong with this invitation?"
Zhuang Zhengqi was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Elder Zhang, who did your invitation come from? Didn't he make it clear to you at the beginning?"
Liang Yan shook his head. At first, Yuan Jiuling only said that he would use this thing to repay his help, but he did not explain what it was at all. He even found out about the usage of the invitation later.
"Elder Zhang, your invitation is different from ours." Sheng Chi said slowly from the side.
"no the same?"
Liang Yan had a look of doubt on his face, just as the monks in robes on the stage had already started handing out invitations. When he raised his hand, twenty rays of earth-yellow light appeared in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the Ningyang Sect monk flicked his sleeves, and the twenty invitations turned into twenty earth-yellow streams of light, flying in different directions, and three of them were in the direction of the Huxin Sect.
Zhuang Zhengqi raised his hand and took the three invitations into his hand. Only then did Liang Yan see clearly that the invitations these people had received were all khaki.
Only my invitation was as white as jade!
"How could it be? He shouldn't have lied to me."
Now it was Liang Yan's turn to look unbelievable.
When he helped Yuan Jiuling obtain the golden elixir, it was supposed to be a huge favor. However, as Yuan Jiuling, anything he could bring out could benefit Liang Yan endlessly. He should never be deceived about this matter. He is right.
"Elder Zhang, don't be discouraged. In fact, the invitation in your hand is genuine, but it is rarer than ours." Zhuang Zhengqi guessed what Liang Yan was thinking and immediately explained.
"Oh?" Liang Yan felt a little relieved after hearing his words, but immediately asked curiously: "Is there anything different about this white invitation?"
Zhuang Zhengqi did not answer his question immediately, but asked: "Elder Zhang, does he know about the 'Hundred Fruit Feast'?"
"I've definitely never heard of this particular cultivator."
Zhuang Zhengqi nodded slightly and said: "Elder Zhang is not from Xu Kingdom, so it is normal that he does not know about this matter. It is a long story. In fact, the Yellowstone Heavenly Book on Huangshi Mountain was discovered by an outsider monk three thousand years ago."
"Extraterritorial monk?"
Liang Yan's heart moved. Although he didn't know what Zhuang Zhengqi said had anything to do with the invitation in his hand, he was still quite curious about this person, and then asked: "This person's cultivation and magical powers must have exceeded the Golden Core realm." , why do you still come to our land in the south?"
"Because this person is good at deduction. He once calculated a fortune for himself. He can only survive the disaster in this southern place."
Zhuang Zhengqi smiled slightly and said: "So, this man traveled far away from the Sea of Fallen Souls and came here all the way. Later, he accidentally discovered a strange stone on the Yellowstone Mountain and sat in front of the stone for three years before he finally realized the magical power. , broke his own disaster."
"And on his whim here, the orthodoxy he left behind is today's Huangshi Gong lineage!"
