#942 - Chapter 942: Fake Romance
"Hehe, what a... what a coincidence," Ji Changsheng said with a simple and honest smile.
Tang Mengxue was amused by Ji Changsheng's naive appearance, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Mengxue, let's go ~" Her purple-clad companion called out to Tang Mengxue.
"I'm leaving first. Be gentle in the competition tomorrow, Brother ~"
Tang Mengxue trotted towards her purple-clad companion.
Ji Changsheng stood there dumbfounded, the girl's "Brother" had captured his heart. Even though the girl's figure had disappeared, her pleasant voice still echoed in Ji Changsheng's ears.
Chen Haoran came over and called Ji Changsheng to return to their room, but Ji Changsheng did not respond.
"Seventh Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother," Chen Haoran called out while waving his hand in front of Ji Changsheng's eyes.
"Oh, okay," Ji Changsheng replied, snapping back to reality.
"Seventh Senior Brother, are you not feeling well? Why is your face so red?" Chen Haoran felt that something was wrong with Ji Changsheng; his face was flushed.
"Oh, it's too hot in this hall. Let's go back quickly," Ji Changsheng changed the subject and pushed Chen Haoran back to their room.
After the participating disciples had all left, only the heads of the various sects and peaks remained in the hall.
"The Xuanwu Meet is not just for the disciples to learn from each other; all of you in charge should also actively participate. Come, pick a number plate," Luo Yangtian held a separate meeting for the heads.
The number plates for the heads were different from those of the disciples, being smaller in size and made of jade.
Ye Kong, Yao Zidan, and the others all drew number plates.
After returning to Liuyun Pavilion, Ye Kong opened his treasure pouch, and rows of treasures appeared before him, dazzling his eyes.
"Rainfall Sword?" Ye Kong took out the Rainfall Sword from his treasure pouch.
This was a sword that was four feet nine inches long, felt heavy in the hand, and had a sharp blade. Ye Kong thought that this sword was similar to an ordinary sword, so after taking a look, he put the Rainfall Sword back.
Ye Kong was too lazy to look at these treasures one by one, so he directly called the disciples to Liuyun Pavilion and allowed them to choose for themselves.
"Wow ~" The disciples received Ye Kong's instructions and arrived at Liuyun Pavilion, where a table full of treasures met their eyes.
"Master! Is... is this for us?" Xi'er asked excitedly.
"Yes, but these magical treasures all have spirituality. I called you here to give you a chance. If a magical treasure is willing to go with you, then take it. It's a fair competition," Ye Kong nodded, allowing the disciples to choose for themselves.
The disciples looked at the treasures before them, each of them shining with golden light, clearly a treasure!
A dark, shiny, and dazzling bead attracted Ye Hongxue's attention.
"Eh! This bead looks nice!" Ye Hongxue reached out to take the Heavenly Poison Bead.
The Heavenly Poison Bead avoided Ye Hongxue's hand and flew up. Ye Hongxue was not convinced and reached out again to grab the Heavenly Poison Bead, but it dodged her.
Ye Hongxue directly cast a spell, and light blue elements formed a small cage, trapping the Heavenly Poison Bead.
Ye Hongxue happily picked up the Heavenly Poison Bead.
"Ah ~" Ye Hongxue's scream attracted the attention of the others.
The bead fell to the ground with a clang, and Ye Hongxue's right hand became swollen, with cyan and purple symptoms appearing on her palm.
Ye Feng immediately took out his portable needle kit, opened it, took out a fine needle, and pricked Ye Hongxue's arm, then used his spiritual power to force out the poison from Ye Hongxue.
"Xiaofeng, thank you," Ye Hongxue touched Ye Feng's head with her left hand.
"This bead is the Heavenly Poison Bead, containing infinite space and possessing the strongest poison and purification power. It can use the power of purification to refine all things and can also produce special induction to the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. But this bead also integrates the power of the Myriad Tribulations Wheel. When used to the extreme, it can launch a world-destroying poison, causing myriad tribulations to have no life!" Ye Kong introduced the Heavenly Poison Bead without exaggeration.
"So powerful! Let me try," Wang Xuan directly activated his spiritual power after listening to Ye Kong's introduction and grabbed the Heavenly Poison Bead.
The Heavenly Poison Bead was suspended in the air under the control of Wang Xuan's spiritual power. Wang Xuan was straining even his eyebrows because he could only control the Heavenly Poison Bead, but the Heavenly Poison Bead was unwilling to approach him.
Wang Xuan didn't believe it and directly activated his full body spiritual power. The light blue light on his hand became brighter and brighter, but the Heavenly Poison Bead still hovered in place, not approaching Wang Xuan at all.
The disciples had been watching nervously, Wang Xuan's strength in Xiaoyao Peak was in the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and he would definitely be able to subdue this Heavenly Poison Bead.
However, the Heavenly Poison Bead suddenly began to rotate, and black light emanated from the bead, absorbing the spiritual power from Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan felt that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was instead controlled by the Heavenly Poison Bead and was constantly absorbing the spiritual power from his body.
Ye Kong stretched out his hand, used his luck, controlled the Heavenly Poison Bead, and put it back in the box, and Wang Xuan was able to escape.
"Thank you, Master," Wang Xuan clasped his fists to thank Ye Kong, and then slipped back behind the disciples.
"Master, I'm afraid no one in our Xiaoyao Peak can subdue this treasure," Ji Changsheng shook his head, this treasure was too powerful!
The other disciples felt that there was no hope and turned to look at other treasures.
Xi'er had been watching silently, her eyes fixed on the box containing the Heavenly Poison Bead.
Ye Kong, who was standing aside, noticed Xi'er, but did not speak, but there seemed to be a curve at the corner of his mouth.
As if sensing her mind, the box opened by itself, and Xi'er's eyes widened.
The Heavenly Poison Bead flew out of the box spiritually, circled Xi'er a few times, and then stopped in front of Xi'er.
Xi'er looked at the bead in front of her and raised her right hand as if possessed, extending her index finger to touch the Heavenly Poison Bead.
At the moment the two came into contact, the Heavenly Poison Bead radiated brightly, and a beam of light shot out from the middle, straight into the sky.
Everyone in the entire Xinghe Sect saw this sky-piercing beam of light and did not know what emitted such a powerful aura.
The light of the Heavenly Poison Bead disappeared and floated down. At the moment of falling, Xi'er reached out and caught it.
"Xi'er, not bad, the Heavenly Poison Bead is actually willing to follow you!" Bai Wuchen happily praised Xi'er.
The other disciples did not expect that Xi'er could subdue the Heavenly Poison Bead.
"Okay, okay, there are others, go and see the others," Ye Kong asked the others to try the others.
Ye Kong then turned around and gave Xi'er a thumbs up. Xi'er was extremely happy to get the treasure.
In the end, the Rainfall Sword chose Ye Xiaoyao, the Misty Entangling Heaven Belt identified Mu Qianqian, Ye Hongxue subdued the Intention-Leading Bell, and Ye Feng obtained the Golden Bow Silver Bullet.
Some were happy and some were sad, and the other disciples who did not get the treasure looked depressed.
"Okay, disciples who have not subdued the treasure, don't be discouraged. Compete well tomorrow. Master will return to Xiaoyao Peak to give you a surprise!" As soon as Ye Kong said this, the other disciples had expectations again, and excitedly returned to their rooms to prepare for the Xuanwu main competition tomorrow.
