Chapter 118: A surprise attack
Li Qingqing was silent, then used a soundproofing sheet before speaking.
"Master, you think there's a traitor in our sect, which is why the Sect Leader is missing, right?"
The Spiritual Kitchen Peak Master nodded, "Yes. I don't want to guess this way, but this is my intuition."
He had luckily avoided many crises by relying on this intuition, and before this, he had not had such a strong intuition for a long time.
Because of this, he did not tell Elder Wu earlier that he wanted to go with them to find the leader.
Even before Elder Wu came to find Xiao Li, he advised Elder Wu not to go, thinking it might be a trap, but he couldn't persuade him.
Li Qingqing pondered for a moment and then said, "Master, our sect ranked second in the ranking competition, so we can also compete first in the Top 100 Challenge, right? If we can participate first, we will arrange it as soon as possible. If we can finish it early, we will leave Zhongzhou as soon as possible."
Precisely because she has a strong enemy like Fu Changye ahead of her, she must let her apprentice participate in this top 100 challenge.
The Spiritual Kitchen Peak Master nodded, "They can participate first. But the prerequisite is that no one wants to challenge Yi Hai Pavilion, which ranks first in the sect ranking competition, first, and the challenged person is in Zhongzhou and agrees to accept the challenge early."
"Then let's go discuss it with the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion."
Li Qingqing's only requirement is that her apprentice be on the list, with no limit on the ranking.
The master of Lingchu Peak was actually also worried about the safety of the headmaster, so he quickly went with Li Qingqing to find the master of Yihai Pavilion.
The head of Yihai Pavilion had actually received the news that the leader of Jiuling Sect had been ambushed and disappeared. After knowing the purpose of Li Qingqing and the others' visit, he quickly helped coordinate and arrange the challenge match.
That afternoon, Li Qingqing received the list of participants in the Top 100 Challenge tonight.
What surprised Li Qingqing was that Hua Xiao, the disciple of the master of Yi Hai Pavilion, was only ranked 57th on the top 100 list.
Many of the people ahead of him did not participate in this Baiji Tower Sect Ranking Competition.
Ye Bei pointed at Ding Peng, who was ranked 97th on the list and said, "Master, I want to fight him."
"Have you thought it through?" Li Qingqing asked softly.
Ye Bei nodded, "Yes. I've thought about it."
"Then you should be prepared." Li Qingqing did not give him too many instructions to avoid causing him psychological pressure.
Soon Lu Tingbai also said: "Master, I want to challenge Lu Xufeng who is ranked 66th."
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment. "You want to challenge sixty-six people at once? Aren't you being too strict with yourself?"
Lu Tingbai's lips curled up slightly, but he still explained, "No. Master, you don't know, Lu Xufeng and I are from the same clan, and we don't usually get along. Although he ranks higher, I know his body movements and skills very well, and I am confident of winning."
Most importantly, he just wanted to beat Lu Xufeng.
After hearing what he said, Li Qingqing nodded and helped him write the name of the opponent.
Because it was a temporarily arranged warm-up match, only three matches could be arranged in one night. In order to avoid being abrupt, Yi Hai Pavilion arranged a challenge match, and the other two places were for Li Qingqing.
Although it was a warm-up match and was arranged at the last minute, in the evening, there were quite a few people going to the Top 100 Challenge venue to watch.
The competition venue is very large, with stands large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. The battlefield is also very large, and there are several large protective formations to prevent damage from spreading.
Li Qingqing, Pavilion Master Yi Hai and others sat in the first row of the viewing area, having the best viewing angle.
The game has not started yet, and more people's attention is focused on the top 100 heroes list that is lit up on the battlefield.
The one hundred names that appeared above were all shining, mysterious and domineering.
This is a symbol of strength and the goal that many people strive for.
The first challenge was initiated by Hua Xiao from Yihai Pavilion, challenging Shen Yan, who was ranked 50th on the top 100 list.
As soon as the list came out, many people started placing bets.
Because the odds were opened to Li Qingqing and her friends, Li Qingqing also placed a bet, investing 100 top-grade spirit stones, betting on Hua Xiao to win.
Pavilion Master Yi Hai smiled and said, "You seem to be optimistic about that boy Hua Xiao."
Li Qingqing smiled slightly, "Let's make our stance clear first. I hope he wins."
Pavilion Master Yi Hai glanced at Hua Xiao, who was standing nearby waiting for his turn. "Did Xiao'er hear that?"
Hua Xiao immediately turned around and bowed, "Yes. I will definitely work hard to live up to the expectations of Master and Lingqin Peak Master."
After Hua Xiao came on stage, the very handsome Shen Yan also came on stage.
The two of them standing together have a balanced aura and are equally good-looking, which is very pleasing to the eye.
But as soon as the two started fighting, Shen Yan's body suddenly grew bigger and stronger like a beast. Hua Xiao looked like a poor little thing in front of him, only reaching his knees, as if he could be crushed to death with one kick.
Li Qingqing took a deep breath and then became nervous.
Fortunately, Hua Xiao was quite strong and was able to dodge the attacks narrowly every time and then attack again casually.
However, Shen Yan's skin became thick and tough after he transformed into a beast, and Hua Xiao's sword could hardly really hurt him, so the battle lasted for a long time.
It was not until an hour later that Shen Yan's transformation into a beast ended. Hua Xiao took advantage of the moment when Shen Yan was weak and defeated the enemy with one move, ending the challenge and winning by a narrow margin!
When Li Qingqing received the 1,000 top-grade spirit stones she won from the bet, she was surprised for a moment.
This is too easy to earn!
The second match was between the little-known Ye Bei and the long-famous Ding Peng.
Many people had no expectations for this game, so when placing bets, most people bet on Ding Peng to win.
In order to support her apprentice, Li Qingqing directly invested a thousand top-grade spirit stones.
In order to show his support, the master of Lingchu Peak also deposited a thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Even the leader of Yihai Pavilion invested a hundred top-grade spirit stones.
Everyone originally thought that this challenge would take a long time, but as soon as the two of them came on the court, Ye Bei actually defeated Ding Peng instantly with a single move of the Nine Profound Sword Technique.
This scene shocked everyone, and many people stood up in astonishment.
Even Li Qingqing was surprised.
Ye Bei loves kendo and has been learning the first move of the Nine Profound Sword Technique, but she did not expect that his sword moves could be so powerful and that he could defeat Ding Peng with one move.
The viewing area was quiet for a while before some people started clapping wildly.
"Oh my god, am I dazzled? Is this the end?"
"What kind of sword technique is this? I just saw a flash of white light and it was over..."
"Phew! You saw a flash of light, and I lowered my head and rubbed my eyes, and then you said Ding Peng lost..."
"The main point of this is to take people by surprise..."
"Ding Peng is still too careless..."
Ding Peng on the stage was also confused.
He got up from the ground, his eyes were a little black, his clothes were torn in several places, his blood was boiling, and he had no idea what had happened.
He wasn't even ready yet!
"That doesn't count! I wasn't even prepared! You attacked me by surprise!" Ding Peng gritted his teeth in anger and glared at Ye Bei.
Ye Bei said expressionlessly, "Now that I'm on the challenge stage, there's no such thing as unpreparedness. Thank you for your patience!"
