Chapter 124 Shangguan Brothers
Chapter 124 Shangguan Brothers
After looking at the elites from various sects, Chu Xinglan turned his gaze to the big figures in the cultivation world sitting in front of him.
Chu Xinglan had seen most of the people here. He took a closer look at Gong Bowen, the head of the Gong family. Gong Qian was not standing with him.
He hadn't heard from Gong Qian for a while, and he didn't know where Chen Xiu had exiled her to, or whether she had returned.
The person in the family that interested him the most besides Gong Bowen was Shangguan Wei, especially since he had heard that he had failed in his tribulation, he wanted to confirm whether it was true.
To his surprise, the seat belonging to the head of the Shangguan family was occupied by a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
Perhaps because no one spoke to him, his face looked a little ugly at the moment. Next to him sat a young man of about the same age, but his face was pale and he didn't look well. He just sat there quietly with empty eyes.
Chu Xinglan frowned slightly and whispered a message to Chen Xiu who was standing beside him with a serious look on his face.
"Chen Xiu, the head of the Shangguan family didn't come?"
Chen Xiu didn't show it on his face. He glanced at the Shangguan family without leaving any trace, and replied in the same voice transmission: "He said he is still recovering from his injuries and can't come."
"The person sitting on the seat is Shangguan Cheng, the acting head of the Shangguan family, and the nephew of Shangguan Wei."
"The young man next to him is Shangguan Wei's legitimate son, Shangguan Chen."
Chu Xinglan was surprised and couldn't help but look at the two of them carefully again.
Shangguan Cheng has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and judging from his aura, he should be in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, which is higher than the cultivation madman Qi Yu.
As for Shangguan Chen, he was just as the legend said. It was obvious that he was in poor health. Since he had no way to practice cultivation, he was just an ordinary person and seemed out of place here.
Chen Xiu had told him about the Shangguan family before, and they had also discussed the situation of the Shangguan family, but he was still a little surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.
Chu Xinglan asked in confusion: "This... the Shangguan family doesn't have an elder or something? A Yuanying is too weak among the many people in the Huashen stage. He can't hold the place at all."
Chen Xiu did not answer his question, but replied meaningfully: "Shangguan Chen does not look as weak as the legend says, and my master just said that he should have entered the Qi Refining stage now, but he has a magic weapon on him to conceal his aura."
"Master Wuxin from Hanshan Temple and Fairy Yueyao from Yuehua Palace should have noticed it. By the way, Shangguan Cheng probably doesn't know yet, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm."
Chu Xinglan was as shocked as an earthquake, okay? For more than 20 years, the head of the Shangguan family had not found a way to cure his legitimate son. Everyone in the cultivation world knew that Shangguan Chen was a waste, but now he could practice?
How did they do it? Especially during this sensitive period, if the news got out, I'm afraid the entire cultivation world would be shaken.
Before he could recover from his surprise, Shangguan Cheng seemed to be unable to bear the fact that he was the only one being ignored, and spoke with a sullen face.
"Master Xu, it's almost time to start, right?"
Everyone on the field looked over there, but no one responded.
Xu Zhuo smiled and came out to smooth things over: "It's getting late, and I think the disciples below are getting a little anxious waiting. Why don't we let them enter the secret realm first? We'll have plenty of time to catch up."
As soon as the words fell, many people present echoed them.
"Master Xu is right. Let's not let the small talk interfere with our business."
"Yes, let's get started."
"I don't know where this secret realm is now, and how to enter it?"
Chu Xinglan's eyes were always on Shangguan Cheng, and just as he expected, the other party's expression became even uglier.
He sighed secretly in his heart, not understanding why Shangguan Cheng had a bad face. No matter what, in the world of cultivation, strength is always the most important thing.
Especially now that the news has spread that the head of the Shangguan family is seriously injured, although no one says anything, in everyone's mind they are afraid that the Shangguan family may no longer be able to maintain its position as a top family.
No matter Shangguan Cheng wanted to come or was pushed out, he should have been mentally prepared. Now he doesn't look smart enough.
Xu Zhuo smiled and took out a small ball from his sleeve, holding it in his palm to show everyone.
"We at Cangqiong Mountain attach great importance to this exchange competition. This is a secret realm that I personally asked our ancestors to create. It only needs to be placed on an open ground, and the disciples can enter. After use, just put it away."
There was a strong sense of showing off in what he said, and coupled with the fact that Xu Zhuo was obviously very proud but had to pretend to be normal, Chu Xinglan found it inexplicably funny.
The others were obviously very surprised to hear this, and stared at the small ball with burning eyes.
You have to know that the existing secret realms in the world of cultivation all have fixed locations and cannot be moved easily. Some of them even have no way to control the opening time.
Now, Cangqiong Mountain has a secret realm that can be used freely and does not take up space. Everyone is jealous and envious.
Moreover, if Sang Yunqi can make one, he can make two or three. By then, the distance between them and Cangqiong Mountain will only get bigger and bigger.
But Sang Yunqi just sat calmly next to Xu Zhuo, and they didn't dare to have any bad thoughts.
"As expected of Venerable Xing Heng, we have finally seen the world today."
"I think that with Venerable Xing Heng's personal participation, our disciples should have gained a lot from this exchange competition. I would like to thank Venerable Xing Heng for his generosity and selflessness."
Sang Yunqi glanced at the flatterer lightly and nodded casually.
Then he turned to look at Chu Xinglan behind him, and the expression on his face instantly softened.
"Come along and have some fun. I'll be waiting for you here."
Chu Xinglan nodded, jumped off the platform first, and walked to the front of the queue of Cang Qiong disciples in the square.
Seeing this, the others also looked at the disciples behind them, signaling that they could go down.
There was no alchemy event in this exchange competition, so Mu Chen did not come. Team leaders such as Song Ling and Han Feiyu stood in the front of the queue. When they saw Chu Xinglan coming, they greeted him with a smile.
Song Ling leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother Chu, these sects and families really spent a lot of money this time. I don't know how many resources they spent. There are hardly any people in the early stage of foundation building."
"And I just discovered that there are a few shameless alliances. You must pay more attention to us when the time comes. If we really lose, it will be a huge disgrace to Cangqiong Mountain."
The others nodded and looked at him expectantly.
Chu Xinglan was speechless. This competition was not about fighting in a group. Song Ling and Han Feiyu were both cunning people. Would they be afraid of forming an alliance with others?
However, thinking about what might be in that secret realm, Chu Xinglan still kindly gave a reminder.
"Be careful once you enter. I heard from my master that this secret realm is very interesting."
"Don't let your boat capsize in the ditch."
