Chapter 155.
Wang Dust and Pang Zitong hurriedly put away their bench melons and sat upright without looking away.
Before the Dharma Discourse began.
The dojo that housed nearly two thousand cultivators was in an uproar.
Some of these Sunset Peak inner disciples were talking, some were laughing and having fun.
There were even people spraying each other!
In such a situation, the two people hiding at the edge of the corner getting high wouldn’t even attract the attention of bystanders.
But now a Violet Mansion Elder had just ascended the Dharma Discourse Stage.
The Divine Sense of the Violet Mansion Elder was extremely powerful, and any movement at the scene could not escape his perception.
So it was best to be honest under this Elder’s eyes.
Otherwise, if you are pulled out to kill the chicken and monkey, don’t cry foul!
The entire dojo quickly became quiet.
Everyone was sitting squarely on the futon, listening to the elder’s speech with a serious face.
No one dared to jump out and be a prick at this time.
Just after an incense stick had burned out, a rumbling sound entered the ears of all the disciples.
One could only see the Dharma Discourse Stage trembling violently, and the piece of rock that was the main component began to move its position.
The sound came precisely from the rocks and stones rubbing against each other.
In a moment’s effort, the upper part of the Dharma Discourse Platform slowly unfolded in all directions.
While its height decreased, the area of the top platform continued to expand.
In the end, it even formed the structure of an inverted pyramid, still standing steadily above the dojo!
According to the rules of the Peak Vein Dharma Discourse, disciples who wished to compete for the position of the top ten needed to climb onto this gigantic Dharma Discourse platform, and then challenge the representatives who had participated in last year’s Sect Competition by name.
If the challenge succeeded, it was natural to take their place.
If one failed, then one would have to pay out five hundred Hoon points to the victor!
The challenged could also refuse, provided that he voluntarily gave up his representative status.
The position of the top ten is reserved for those who are able to do so!
In addition, disciples who are amongst the top ten will automatically be granted the status of a true disciple and enjoy comparable treatment.
In short, for cultivators with ambition and strength, the Peak Vein Discourse and Sect Competition was undoubtedly a path to heaven!
“Lu Hong!”
What everyone didn’t expect was that only after the Purple Mansion Elder announced the start of this year’s Sunset Peak Dharma Discussion, a green-shirted cultivator leapt onto the Dharma Discussion Stage and shouted in a deep voice, “Come up here and suffer death!”
The entire audience was in an uproar!
Who is Lu Hong?
Sunset Peak’s chief true disciple and one of the Peak Vein representatives who participated in the Sect Competition last year.
He was a direct descendant of the Lu Family of the Purple Mansion, and at only twenty-two years of age, he had already practiced the Great Circle of Qi, and it was rumored that he was likely to break through the orifices and open the Mansion this year.
Many people speculated that Lu Hong would attempt to break through the aperture and open the mouth for the first time after participating in this session’s Sect Competition.
Regardless of whether he could succeed or not, there was no doubt about his high cultivation talent.
Because of his noble birth, coupled with his outstanding talent, Lu Hong was very popular among the more than two thousand inner disciples of Sunset Peak, with a large number of fans gathered around him.
In the past, there were people who challenged Lu Hong at the Dharma Conference, but they all ended in failure.
Who had expected that the first top ten disciple to be challenged this year would be Lu Hong, who was known to be the strongest!
However, when everyone saw the challenger’s appearance, many people’s faces changed.
“It’s Zhao Huai’an.”
Pang Zitong, who was sitting next to Wang Duan, snickered, “This is going to be a good show!”
The feud between Zhao Huai’an and Lu Hong was already an open secret in Sunset Peak.
Lu Hong’s suppression of this “fortunate” disciple had long been known to everyone!
All along, it was Zhao Huai’an who had been suppressed to the point where he couldn’t raise his head.
He even disappeared from the sect.
There is no way, no matter the strength and cultivation, or identity and power, Lu Hong can crush Zhao Huai’an.
It was just that the rules of the sect were strict, plus the Sect Leader had once opened his mouth for Zhao Huai’an.
That was why he was able to survive.
But everyone believed that sooner or later, this loose cultivator from the outer regions was going to completely disappear!
As a result, when he reappeared, he brazenly took the stage to punch Lu Hong in the face!
And none of the cultivators present were fools.
Since Zhao Huai’an dared to openly call out Lu Hong, whose strength greatly exceeded his own.
Unless he is tired of living.
Otherwise, he must be in possession of some kind of killer weapon that is sufficient to deal with cultivators who have reached the full circle of qi cultivation!
On the Dharma Discussion Stage, Zhao Huai’an, who had called out the battle by name, revealed his aura and battle spirit, confirming such speculation.
“Good guts!”
In such a situation, where could Senior Brother Lu Hong Lu still sit still!
He immediately let out a stern shout and followed suit, leaping onto the Dharma Discourse Stage.
He formed a confrontation with Zhao Huai’an!
“Eldest brother is mighty!”
Those inner disciples who followed Lu Hong around shouted for him.
However, no matter how many they were, they couldn’t go up and help Lu Hong surround Zhao Huai’an, so these chaotic shouts instead seemed a bit ridiculous.
Zhao Huai’an smiled coldly and met Lu Hong’s gaze, not knowing how many swords and shadows were hidden in each other’s eyes!
The Purple Mansion Elder who presided over this Sunset Peak Dharma Discussion said in a deep voice, “Discuss the Dharma and ask questions, point by point.”
As soon as his words fell, a layer of nearly transparent barrier instantly surfaced on the four edges of the Dharma Discourse Platform.
The protective spell formation arranged inside the high platform had been activated!
This spell formation could not only protect the spectators on the dojo, but also save the opponents on the stage from death doom.
And the moment the protective spell formation was activated, Lu Hong and Zhao Huai’an moved at the same time!
A brilliant sword light instantly flashed the eyes of all the cultivators present.
Before everyone could react, Lu Hong flew out backwards like a kite with broken strings, blood spurting wildly from his mouth.
He crashed heavily into the spell formation barrier, then bounced back down and fell on the spot!
Eh?
The dojo was silent, countless cultivators were dumbstruck and couldn’t believe their eyes.
Elder brother Lu Hong Lu, defeated like this?
He actually didn’t even receive a single move from Zhao Huai’an and was directly knocked out of the game!
The vestments Lu Hong was wearing were shattered, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state, struggling to get up, only to fail miserably in his efforts several times.
It was not until several of his juniors came back to their senses as if they were waking up from a dream that they rushed onto the stage to escort Lu Hong to the main hall for treatment.
Now everyone’s attention was focused on Zhao Huai’an.
Only to see this young cultivator holding a long sword, standing proudly on top of the Dharma Discussion Stage, his face cold and imposing.
It shook the hearts of several female cultivators at the scene!
“Zhao Huai’an wins.”
As the Violet Mansion Elder announced the results of the competition, the disciples present suddenly realized that the pattern of power in Sunset Peak was afraid to see a huge change!
And at this moment, Wang Chen was also looking at Zhao Huai’an who had just won a glorious victory.
It felt as if the other party was a bit different from the Zhao Huai’an he used to know.
This person’s body seemed to be covered in a dazzling aura.
It was difficult for people to see his true face!
Wang Chen vaguely sensed the existence of something called “luck”.
