Chapter 854: Xuanyuan Platform

“During the Tianmen Convention, Qian’er and Sister Qin walked on the same trial road as Brother Liu in the end, and Long Xuan was there. We had seen Brother Liu’s strength with our own eyes. Especially when dealing with the alien creatures in the end, they were killed by Brother Liu. He had the greatest contribution. As for that Long Xuan, he had been trapped until he was saved by the envoys of the Sky Palace.” Ouyang Qian hinted Quyang Qin beside to stop arguing, then she said.

The middle-aged man in a purple robe heard the words and was about to refute, but he was stopped by the elegant man as he said with a half-smile,

“Elder Xin recommended Long Xuan and Qian’er recommended Nephew Disciple Liu to complete that major matter of our own family. Each of you has your own reasons, so it’s hard for me to decide. Why don’t we let Nephew Disciple Liu and Nephew Disciple Long have a match. Whoever wins will get the chance to use the Clear Exquisite Wall. This will be fair to everyone. After all, the major matter of our family needs to entrust someone that is more powerful.”

Ouyang Sisters were overjoyed by the decision. They turned to look at Liu Ming with hopes in their eyes.

“Since the Ouyang Family Master said so, I naturally have no opinion.” Liu Ming hesitated slightly before agreeing.

He wasn’t surprised that it would develop as such at this point.

Although he heard from Ouyang Qian that Long Xuan had cultivated a powerful mystic art, but with Liu Ming’s current strength, if he went all out, not to mention the Crystallization Period, he could even win against the Real Pellet State later stage cultivator.

“Family master, it’s not appropriate to do this, right? This is decided by the elders after all.” Ouyang Xin’s face suddenly turned unsightly, and he turned to the elegant man, bowed and said.

“Elder Xin, although the elders have great power, according to the family rules, the family master also has the right to question it. Moreover, the deal with the Demon Mystic Sect was decided when I wasn’t around. I have decided, so you don’t need to say more. Also, if which elder isn’t convinced, ask him to come to me. As for the time for the match, let’s set it at tomorrow.” The elegant man heard the words and replied with a sneer.

“Don’t dare! Since the family master has made a decision, let me inform Long Xuan. I hope that this Nephew Disciple Liu will not let us down by then. I will leave first.” Ouyang Xin’s expression changed a few more times, then he agreed with a reluctant smile. After cupping his fist, he walked out.

“Nephew Disciple Liu, don’t get offended, Elder Xin is this temper.” The elegant man nodded at Liu Ming, seemingly helpless.

“Not at all, junior’s visit is a little bit abrupt this time.” Liu Ming smiled casually.

“Qian’er, please take Nephew Disciple Liu to rest. Don’t be negligent. Take him to Xuanyuan Platform tomorrow at noon for the match.” The elegant man took a deep look at Liu Ming, and he turned to Ouyang Qian. There was a cry.

“Don’t worry, master. Qian’er and Brother Liu are old acquaintances. I will definitely arrange this properly.” Ouyang Qian hurriedly stepped forward and agreed with a smile.

After Liu Ming bowed to the elegant man again, he left the hall accompanied by Ouyang Sisters.

After everyone left, there was silence in the hall.

The elegant man sat on the main seat while stroking the back of the chair as if thinking about something.

At this moment, a figure appeared silently. Another man in a purple robe suddenly appeared beside the elegant man.

The man’s chin and cheeks were covered with thick black beards, and he wore the same robe as Ouyang Xin. It seemed that he was also an elder of the Ouyang Family.

The Ouyang Family Master wasn’t surprised by his appearance. He just nodded slightly,

“Have you heard the conversation just now?”

“Thank you, family master!” The man with a beard bowed and said something that didn’t make sense. His voice was as loud as a bell.

“It’s just 1 chance to use the Clear Exquisite Wall, Elder Ying doesn’t need to worry about it. However, it is not good for people outside of our family to use our sacred objects as it is easy to arouse conflicts within the family. This matter cannot be repeated.” Ouyang Family Master waved his hand lightly.

“Understood!” The man with a beard was shocked slightly, and he replied respectfully with a lowered tone.

“What do you think of Liu Ming? Long Xuan is also an outstanding disciple of the Demon Mystic Sect. His strength shouldn’t be underestimated.” The Ouyang Family Master eased his tone and changed the topic.

“Although I haven’t seen Long Xuan, Liu Ming just easily defended Elder Xin’s ‘Soul Slaying Thorn’ that he has fully mastered. Not to mention other aspects, his mental power has definitely reached the level of the Real Pellet State cultivator. It seems that Yin Jiuling has accepted a good disciple.” The man with a beard said in admiration.

“In that case, the match between them is a bit worth seeing. Then everything will be decided by the result of the match. After all, family interests are involved, so a candidate with more power is always better. Does Elder Ying understand what I mean?” Ouyang Family Master said as he looked at the man with a beard in front again.

“I understand. I will follow family master’s decision.” The man with a beard said while cupping his fist.

The Ouyang Family Master nodded, then he became silent again.

“By the way, family master, the little girl surnamed Sha… Is she really a descendant of Ouyang Ming?” The man with a beard suddenly asked about another thing.

“Looking at her appearance and demeanor, they resemble Ouyang Ming back then. I think she should be his daughter.” The elegant man’s eyes suddenly turned gloomy, then he replied after a long while.

“It’s really a pity. With Ouyang Ming’s qualifications, if that didn’t happen back then, he…” The man with a beard said with regret.

“Regarding Ouyang Ming, the elders had already made a decision. It’s better not to discuss it anymore.” The Ouyang Family Master sighed and interrupted the man with a beard.

“Yes!” The man with a beard replied in a low voice.

…

On the other side, Liu Ming, accompanied by Ouyang Sisters, returned to the Reception Pavilion. After the 2 women left, he walked directly into his room.

Seeing his solemn expression, Ye Hao didn’t disturb him, just sitting on the bed obediently and chanting a few chants silently. It was the most basic breathing exercises that Liu Ming asked him to recite in the past few days.

Liu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, thinking about what he saw today in his mind.

After a while, he sighed softly as he opened his eyes.

Although there had been many twists and turns during this visit to the Ouyang Family, the Clear Exquisite Wall’s matter seemed to be going his way now.

It seemed that the key was tomorrow’s battle with Long Xuan. As long as he defeats this Demon Mystic Sect’s disciple with his own hands, with the Taiqing Sect as his backer, he was not afraid that the other party would renege the deal.

As for the promise of helping the Ouyang Family, it was of secondary importance as compared to breaking through to the Pseudo Pellet State as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, he started to adjust his breath and recharge his energy.

At the same time, in the secret room of a certain tower on the top of the beautiful Xuanmeng Mountain, 2 figures were sitting opposite each other.

One was the middle-aged man in a purple robe, Ouyang Xin; the man in a black robe in front had an ugly face.

If Liu Ming or Ouyang Sisters were here, they could recognize this person at a glance, it was Long Xuan from the Demon Mystic Sect.

Over the past 10 years, the appearance of this person had also changed quite a lot. What was particularly noticeable was that his hair color had changed to dark green as if they were attached with green flames. It looked extremely strange.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect someone else to borrow the Clear Exquisite Wall, and it is even Liu Ming from the Taiqing Sect. This is also a coincidence.” Long Xuan’s eyes flickered, and he smiled ghastly.

“The marriage between your sect and our family had already been approved by the elders, but I didn’t expect Liu Ming to mess this up at the last moment. This is really annoying!” Ouyang Xin squinted and sighed.

“Elder Xin, don’t worry. If it were the Tianmen Convention back then, I would be a little afraid of Liu Ming. But now, hehe, I will make him beg for mercy in the match tomorrow.” Long Xuan was extremely confident.

After he spoke, a strange green glow flashed in his eyes. His hair suddenly exploded with faint green flames. His original ugly face looked even more eerie.

“Since Nephew Disciple Long is confident, it is naturally the best. As long as you defeat Liu Ming tomorrow, I will handle the marriage smoothly.” Ouyang Xin said with a smile.

But for some reason, although the middle-aged man in a purple robe was very confident in Long Xuan before him, he felt unsteady in his mind whenever he thought of the scene where Liu Ming defended his Soul Slaying Thorn.

“Then I will trouble Elder Xin. By that time, the item that our sect promised will be given to you.” Long Xuan said with laughter.

At tomorrow, in a scenic valley in the Xuanmeng Mountain Range.

The verdant plants in the valley, the flowers blooming like a cotton, the refreshing fragrance of flowers wafting in the wind, the white rabbits and deer skipping back and forth in the bushes, the the sound of birds singing in mid-air; this was a scene of a paradise.

This was the Yingcao Valley, 1 of the famous 9 peaks and 9 valleys in the Xuanmeng Mountain Range.

In the center of the valley, there was a rectangular platform.

This platform was about a dozen meters away from the ground and covered an area of ​​about 10 acres. It was built with a kind of green-black rock. This was black bitumen, which was also a kind of metallic ore that had great sturdiness. But this ore couldn’t be forged into weapons, so it was generally used to build buildings.

There were many green-black stone pillars around the platform, which are also made of black bitumen. Many green spirit patterns were inscribed on the surface.

This platform was where the Ouyang Family’s disciples usually practiced with each other. It was the Xuanyuan Platform.
