Chapter 739: A Trial
Since the "Beast Control Sect" is located in Gunzhou and needs to rely on the breath of the three demon clans, even though he is a human monk, Master Ran Yu obviously intends to be neutral for the time being and has not rashly joined any party in the situation at hand.
All the masters present knew this very well.
Moreover, the Beast Control Sect has been operating on the border of Gunzhou for many years, and its power is not small, so people should not be too forced.
This is the saying that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
At this moment, Yunzhou sword cultivator Nalandeng, who had been silent all along, suddenly showed an impatient expression and said:
"Who is this last person holding the treasure map? How dare you make me wait here for more than a month!"
Hearing this, the fox demon Yueqing in the opposite demon clan's camp chuckled and said:
"When the old ghost tomb of Tianfeng appeared, there were seven copies of the treasure map. In the end, only four copies were left in Gunzhou, and the remaining three copies were scattered across Jiuzhou! From this, it is not difficult to infer that the last treasure map is destined to be In the hands of you humans!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fang, the young leader of the wolf clan on the side, couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"That's right, you human monks are really troublesome. They are so troublesome when you come here to rob a tomb! If it weren't for the treasure map needed to open the tomb as a guide, I would have led people in!"
As soon as these words came out, the ghost girl opposite could not help but frown slightly, but she did not get angry on the spot.
On the other hand, Nalan Teng's whole body was surrounded by sword intent, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
But Master Ran Yu, who had always remained silent, couldn't help but stand up and smooth things over:
"Fellow Taoists, please be patient. When the treasure map first appeared, one of its volumes fell into the territory of Qingzhou, but I don't know who got it.
But now that we are all gathered here, I think this person will feel the treasure map in his hand, so he will come to join us! "
After hearing this, the ghost girl remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking secretly.
Even the sword cultivator Nalandeng calmed down his aura, and a hint of fear quietly flashed deep in his eyes.
After all, although the Nine Provinces Ranking is famous all over the world, the strength of some hidden masters cannot be underestimated.
For example, the three young masters of the demon clan in Gunzhou are the best among them, but because of their status as demon cultivators, they do not bother to participate in the ranking of the Human Race Tianji Pavilion.
But there is no doubt that with the strength of Kong Xuan, Yue Qing, Xiao Fang and others, it is not impossible to be in the top ten of the list, or even compete for the top five.
Therefore, before seeing the treasure hidden in the mausoleum, neither Wraith Chi Nu nor Nalan Teng were willing to take the lead in betraying each other.
However, when the atmosphere in the court fell silent again, Kong Xuan, who was tall and elegant, suddenly said with meaning:
"I heard that some time ago, a mysterious masked man appeared in Qingzhou and had a battle with the deadly scholar. I wonder if it has something to do with the treasure map!"
As soon as these words came out, all the experts present frowned slightly.
The Master of the Beast Control Sect, Ran Yu, had a strange look in his eyes and said with profound meaning:
"If that's the case, I don't know whose family the treasure map ended up with!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a violent sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded from the horizon, and a dazzling golden light pierced the sky.
And the person who came had no intention of covering up at all, and just came to the sky above the Kujue Valley in such a swagger.
As the golden light slowly descended, a tall monk wearing a plain robe and a white mask was gradually revealed. It was undoubtedly Qin Tian who had concealed his appearance.
Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of everyone outside the valley, and in an instant there were heated discussions:
"Who is this person? He is so brave. He dares to break into the valley so forcefully!"
"Look at this outfit, why does it look a bit like the masked man that has been rumored recently?"
"The six masters can gather together and wait. This masked man has such a big air! Hehe! Now there is a good show!"
"It's not that simple to get a share of the pie from the six masters! But in this way, our chances of fishing in troubled waters are much greater!"
"Haha! What this demon brother said is very kind!"
................................................................. ..
At the same time, inside the dry valley.
Looking at Qin Tian landing in the sky, the eyes of several experts present flashed, with a hint of surprise hidden in them.
After all, now that the Masked Man appears here, it is self-evident what this means.
The deadly scholar who ranked fourth on the prestigious list was actually one move away from the master of chess, and was snatched away by a little-known masked man. This is somewhat unbelievable!
But now that the facts are before our eyes, there is no room for doubt. Moreover, the experts present were not ordinary people, so they reacted quickly.
Only the white-faced Wuchang of Gui Mingyinshan couldn't help but frown slightly, and was secretly confused in his heart.
Just because the masked monk in front of her at this moment actually gave her a vague feeling of familiarity, as if she had seen him before.
Qin Tian, who was on the side, looked around calmly at first. Even when he glanced at Bai Mian Wuchang, his eyes did not pause at all. Then he calmly raised his hands and saluted, and said in a very hoarse tone:
"Fellow Taoists, you are very polite. I wasted a little time on my way here. I hope you can forgive me!"
As the words fell, the experts present did not react, nor did they have the slightest intention to return the favor. Instead, they all looked at him with scrutiny.
Nalan Teng on the side snorted coldly, and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone:
"You are so arrogant that you made us wait here for more than a month. Do you think that after a few moves with that deadly scholar, you can look down on the heroes of the world?"
As he spoke, Nalan Teng's sword intent suddenly burst out, forming a fierce momentum, and rushed straight towards Qin Tian.
Such a probing move is not a fatal move, but if the latter fails to deal with it properly, he will inevitably make a fool of himself in public.
It should be noted that rumors are just rumors after all. All the masters present are outstanding in the same level. Who is not arrogant? Naturally, they will not easily accept a person of unknown origin to enter the treasure land to share a piece of the pie.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the strength is not recognized, the masters do not mind joining forces to kick the weak out first, so as to ensure the maximum benefit!
Seeing this situation, how could Qin Tian not know the deep meaning?
Moreover, before coming, he had anticipated these things, otherwise he would not have shown up in a high-profile manner as a masked man.
Therefore, facing the imposing sword intent, Qin Tian did not change his expression, nor did he have the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, he stood calmly in the same place.
But the strange thing was that when the seemingly sharp sword intent approached Qin Tian's body, it was suddenly offset by a domineering artistic conception power in an instant, and it was difficult to do anything at all.
On the other hand, Nalan Teng's face changed slightly, and his body could not help but take a step back, with a little shock in his eyes.
After all, as a sword cultivator, no one knew better than him what the domineering artistic conception power just now represented.
For a moment, seeing the difference in the field, the expressions of the masters present also became solemn.
But at this moment, Xiao Fang in the demon camp suddenly said with a face full of arrogance:
"You are a traitor, take my move and try!"
He said so, but Xiao Fang's movements were not slow at all. He had already punched out almost as soon as he finished speaking, turning into a blurred afterimage, and attacked Qin Tian at a very fast speed.
In an instant, a terrifying aura of a body-refining cultivator swept over like a storm.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown slightly, and then he lowered his waist and dismounted without hesitation, punching out without dodging or evading.
However, unlike Xiao Fang's pure physical strength, his punch not only contained the power of the star pattern, but also the five elements of true essence.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a dull loud noise, smoke and dust rose in the field in an instant, and a large pit appeared directly on the ground, and fine cracks spread rapidly around.
As for the figures of a man and a demon, they retreated separately.
However, due to Qin Tian's weaker physical cultivation realm, even with the power of true essence, he inevitably suffered a small loss in close combat, and his body retreated several feet away.
But even so, such a result still attracted the attention of many masters.
After all, the demon race is known for its strong physique. Qin Tian, as a human cultivator, can fight against the weaker one in close combat, which is already precious.
At least from this, it can be seen that the rumor that the masked man is practicing both magic and body is basically true!
"Do you have any objections?"
While speaking, Qin Tian's expression was as calm as ever, and there was no trace of joy or anger.
The arrogant Canglang clan Xiao Fang on the opposite side snorted with an unhappy face, and returned to the camp somewhat angrily.
Seeing this situation, the masters also completely put away their contempt, and hurriedly bowed politely in return, which was considered to be a formal recognition of Qin Tian's strength.
The latter also regained his previous composure, as if nothing had happened, and reacquainted himself with everyone.
Only the Beast Taming Sect Master Ran Yu Zhenren, who didn't know what he was thinking of, quietly flashed a strange color in the depths of his eyes, but he hid it very deeply and didn't show it at all.
After a while, when the atmosphere in the field eased a little.
The eyes of the Nether Soul Chi Nu flashed, and she actually showed a rare smile, and said in a very kind voice:
"Fellow Daoist Mask is quite powerful, and it is indeed well-deserved! After the treasure land is opened later, we are all human cultivators, and we must form an offensive and defensive alliance to compete with the three major demon tribes!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he seemed to be humble and said:
"Fellow Daoist Nether Soul is right, and we will advance and retreat together later!"
