The master went down the mountain and met the beautiful CEO's fiancée

Chapter 424 Chaoyin Pavilion didn’t come?

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it."

Yun Chen looked Lu Beiyou up and down and found that this guy had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

But he didn't take it to heart at all. When he was in the early stage of Jindan, he was able to fight against Lu Beiyou, not to mention that he was already in the late stage of Jindan now.

Even though the disciples of the Taoist school have a deep foundation, he is not bad either.

If they really fight, it is still unclear who will win or lose.

Lu Beiyou was completely enraged by Yun Chen's nonchalant yet sharp attitude, but he knew very well that this was not the time to take action.

He suppressed the urge to attack immediately and squeezed out cold words from between his teeth: "I hope your strength is worthy of your tough talk!"

He glanced at Zhao Xiruo again with a complicated expression and wanted to say something, but he found that Zhao Xiruo's eyes were always on Yun Chen, and she didn't even look at him.

He gritted his teeth, which eventually turned into a cold snort. He turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and left with a chill that almost solidified into substance, striding away.

That back view was filled with determination and a strong desire for revenge.

Liu Yanran looked at the direction where Lu Beiyou disappeared and curled her lips. "This guy is still so annoying! Junior brother, if you meet him in the qualifying match, beat him to death!"

Shen Nan was relatively calm and reminded him, "Lu Beiyou is a disciple of Yuxu Palace after all. His peak Jindan cultivation should not be underestimated. Junior brother, you still have to be careful."

Yun Chen nodded, his expression calm: "Brother, don't worry, I know what's going on."

He did not underestimate the enemy, but he would never be afraid before the battle.

Zhao Xiruo raised her eyes to look at Yun Chen, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile: "Be gentle when you attack me later. After all, he saved me before."

She naturally stood on Yun Chen's side and believed in Yun Chen. Although she said so, there was no intention of pleading for him in her eyes.

Yun Chen smiled and hugged her in his arms, staring at her with his eyes: "Are you worried about him?"

"Who's worried about him? I'm worried that you might beat him to death, and that would end badly."

Zhao Xiruo rolled her eyes and glared at Yun Chen coquettishly.

Yun Chen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"Yo yo yo...! Junior brother, no showing off your affection. We're all single, no dog abuse."

Liu Yanran, who was standing aside, covered her eyes exaggeratedly, but deliberately opened a large gap between her fingers, looking at the two people hugging each other mischievously, her tone full of teasing.

Shen Nan shook his head helplessly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was already accustomed to Liu Yanran's appearance.

Lin Wan'er stood aside, watching Yun Chen hugging Zhao Xiruo naturally, and Zhao Xiruo's coquettish and dependent look. A trace of envy and loneliness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and put on a decent smile on her face again, but the smile seemed a little lighter than before.

Zhao Xiruo blushed when Liu Yanran teased her like this. She awkwardly broke free from Yun Chen's embrace and glared at Liu Yanran in anger, "Senior Sister Liu!"

Yun Chen was shameless. He laughed heartily, but did not loosen his arm around Zhao Xiruo's shoulders. He said to Liu Yanran, "Senior Sister, you are jealous."

"I'm not jealous of you at all!" Liu Yanran pretended to hit her, but Yun Chen quickly dodged with a smile, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed for a moment.

After the joke, Lin Wan'er reminded him, "The registration office for the challenge tournament is right up ahead. Sister Zhao, let's go over there and complete the paperwork. The qualifying rounds will officially begin soon."

Several people came to the deacon's desk next to the arena. With Lin Wan'er, the Holy Maiden of Taixu Palace, coming forward, the process went exceptionally smoothly.

Zhao Xiruo successfully registered as a challenger and received a jade plate engraved with the word "challenge".

"Holding this jade token, during the first stage of the preliminary round, you can challenge the last-place disciple indicated on the jade disk at any time."

The deacon in charge of registration explained, "If you win the challenge, you will replace their ranking and officially qualify for the subsequent competition."

Zhao Xiruo solemnly took the jade token and held it in her hand, feeling it was heavy. This was not only the certificate for participating in the competition, but also a step for her to become stronger.

After completing the formalities, Lin Wan'er took Yun Chen, Liu Yanran and Shen Nan to their respective arena areas.

Zhao Xiruo's challenge competition needed to wait for the right time, so she stayed in area C where Yun Chen was, ready to cheer him on first.

Yun Chen stood under the No. 7 ring, glanced at the disciples from various sects around him who were ready to fight, and took a deep breath.

The noise from the outside world seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. His mind became completely calm, and the spiritual power in his body flowed like a river. The Nine Dragons Qi lay dormant deep in his meridians, waiting to be released.

After a series of events and a night of deep breathing exercises, he felt better than ever before and was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

"clang--!"

A magnificent bell sound, filled with great spiritual power, spread out like ripples, instantly spreading throughout the entire huge square and suppressing all noise.

The once-in-a-decade righteous ranking competition has officially begun!

As the lingering sound of the bell echoed, the space above the platform fluctuated slightly, and several figures appeared out of thin air, as if stepping out from nothingness.

They just stood there, and the majesty and vastness that naturally emanated from their bodies quickly quieted the originally noisy square. All the disciples couldn't help but hold their breath and look towards the platform in awe.

The person sitting in the main seat is none other than the head of the host Taixu Palace - Lin Xuantong.

He was wearing a black Taoist robe embroidered with a pattern of stars in the sky. His face was gaunt and his eyes were gentle and peaceful, as if they contained an endless starry sky, deep and unfathomable.

Sitting slightly to the left of Lin Xuantong was a man with white hair and a youthful face. He had a ruddy complexion and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He was none other than the head of Yuxu Palace - Yushu Zhenren.

On the right side of Lin Xuantong, the position that should have belonged to the head of the Divine Thunder Palace was now occupied by Elder Lei.

Since the headmaster was not there, he had to attend on behalf of the Divine Thunder Palace. At this moment, his face was solemn and he looked majestic without being angry. There was a faint flash of lightning flowing around him, making him look quite majestic.

Following the leaders and representatives of the three factions are the powerful elders of each faction.

Just by standing there, these people made tens of thousands of monks in the audience feel an unprecedented pressure.

"strangeness…!"

Yun Chen looked at the stage, his eyes flashing... and his brows slightly furrowed.

Zhao Xiruo couldn't help but turn around and look at him.

"what happened?"

"The Chaoyin Pavilion didn't come...! And the South China Sea Xuanyuan Sect didn't come either... Let's forget about the Xuanyuan Sect, it's said that they haven't appeared in public for a long time, but Leng Hanyue said that the Chaoyin Pavilion would come to participate, so why hasn't it come yet?" Yun Chen frowned, his face looking a little ugly.

Chaoyin Pavilion captured his master, and he was hoping to get them to release him.

If you don’t come, how can you save Master?

"Could it be that something delayed him? Didn't Senior Sister Bai say that people from Japan were besieging those participating in the qualifying round." Zhao Xiruo was stunned when she heard that, but she still made a tentative guess.

Of course, the main purpose is to comfort Yun Chen.

She knew how important Ye Wuxin was to Yun Chen.

"I'm not sure, but if Chaoyin Pavilion doesn't come, then... I'm afraid we'll have to go to the South China Sea after the qualifying round."

Yun Chen shook his head and his expression became increasingly gloomy. He had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
