Li Xi didn't speak. Her jade-like hand slowly stroked the zither and glanced at Tang Xiu. The zither's sound was like a long stream of flowing water, slowly entering one's heart. Everyone had an expression of enjoyment. Although they did not know why Miss Li Xi was playing the zither during the martial arts competition, it was not easy to listen to Li Xi's zither, so everyone was intoxicated. Only Nangong Luobing frowned slightly. She felt that the music was not simple. She looked at Shang Yu, who was also full of leisure, and her heart tightened.
"Don't listen."
Shang Yu was stunned." Why?"
Nangong Luo Bing was about to explain, but unexpectedly, the sound of the zither suddenly became more urgent, like the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, making everyone's hearts start to become a little anxious and restless.
Tang Xiu was also a smart person. He knew that the zither was Li Xi's weapon, and she wanted to use her internal energy to fight against it. He gathered his internal force and wanted to take the sword to enter. However, the sword couldn't enter Li Xi's body at all. As soon as he approached, the zither music seemed to have a life of its own and bounced Tang Xiu back.
Tang Xiu didn't dare to be careless anymore. Since he wanted to fight with his internal energy, he would accompany him to the end. Thinking of this, he threw away his sword and sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest and fight with his internal energy.
When the people below saw this, they naturally knew what was going on. They did not dare to be careless and secretly used their strength to resist the increasingly rapid sound of the zither. Only Ge Shuyi, Chu Ji, and the others who had better internal energy cultivation still had a normal expression on their faces, as if they did not hear the harsh sound of the zither.
Everyone stared blankly at the two people on the stage. Perhaps it was because Tang Xiu's internal energy wasn't low, but the sound of the zither slowly became like flowing water, as thin as silk, and faded into one's heart. Meanwhile, Tang Xiu, who was sitting opposite him, had beads of sweat on his forehead and wet his clothes. He suddenly heard that the zither music was no longer as urgent as the sound of a thousand horses galloping. He understood that although Li Xi's zither skills were very good, it was still inferior to his own internal energy!
Thinking of this, he felt a little smug. Even his attention was a little loose. His heart was empty, as if there was a flash of white light. A fishy smell came from his heart and straight to his throat. Tang Xiu's face was full of pain. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
It was as if a pot had exploded and was boiling. They originally thought that Tang Xiu would win, but now it was a dramatic ending. When the last note disappeared, Li Xi stood up and hugged the zither. He bowed slightly to the crowd and returned to Ge Shuyi's side.
"Hahaha, Xi 'er's zither skills are getting better and better.”Ge Shuyi couldn't help but smile as he looked at Li Xi and rewarded him.
Li Xi's face was expressionless as he stood beside Ge Shuyi with his head lowered. There was a hint of resentment hidden in his eyes.
Ouyang Xiong looked at the fallen Tang Xiu and felt very unhappy. He originally wanted to make him his own man, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by the Leaving Moon Sect.
"Men, carry him down." Helplessly, Ouyang Xiong had to continue managing the situation.
Immediately after, two people came up from the stage and wanted to carry Tang Xiu down to treat him, but unexpectedly,
Alliance Master, he…he's dead." One of them spoke with a trembling voice.
"What?" Everyone was shocked. The Martial Arts Circle Convention had always stopped at a certain point, and no one had ever lost their lives. They did not expect that someone would die as soon as the Moon Leaving Gate arrived.
Nangong Luobing flew up to the stage and looked at Tang Xiu's body. Her eyes were enlarged and her pulse was damaged. It must be an internal injury. Li Xi's attack must have damaged his heart and there was no way to save him.
"His heart meridian has been damaged. There's no way to save him." Nangong Luobing said lightly and flew back to her seat. He wondered what trick Li Xi had used to make the zither sound so lethal.
When the people below heard Nangong Luo Bing's words, they were even more shocked. If the Holy Doctor said that there was no hope, then there really was no hope.
Tang Xiu was the eldest disciple of the Clear Spirit Sect. When the Clear Spirit Sect saw that their Eldest Brother had passed away, they were extremely sad and hated the Moon Parting Sect to the bone.
" Alliance Master Ouyang, you have to give Qingling Sect an explanation. The Martial Arts Circle Convention has always been about stopping when necessary, but this vicious woman actually took my Eldest Senior Brother's life. Alliance Master, please investigate this matter.”The second disciple of Qingling Sect, Tang Li, stood below the stage and shouted.
"Yes, yes. Please investigate, Alliance Master." Everyone from Qingling Sect agreed.
"Everyone, please calm down. This old man will naturally give you an explanation.”Ouyang Xiong comforted.
"Sect Master Ge, look." Ouyang Xiong turned to Ge Shuyi and passed the question to him.
" I think…" Ge Shuyi said two words and stopped talking. He looked around and finally stopped at Tang Li.
In this competition, there was an accidental injury. However, Young Master Tang died because he was seriously injured. How can you blame the Moon Leaving Sect for being too harsh? My Xi 'er is only playing the zither. It's only Young Master Tang's fault that his martial arts are not up to standard.”Although Ge Shuyi was smiling, his words were not cold.
"Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about? Everyone saw that my eldest senior brother died at the hands of that demoness.”Tang Li glared at Ge Shuyi and gritted his teeth.
"Young Hero Tang, please don't spout nonsense. Did my Xi 'er kill him with a sword or stab him with a knife?”Ge Shuyi looked confused as he asked everyone.
"Yeah, he didn't. It's true that this Tang Xiu's martial arts was too weak, so he died.”Everyone was discussing animatedly. When Tang Li heard this, the anger on his face grew even stronger. He turned around and knelt down in front of Ouyang Xiong.
"Alliance Master, you have to make the decision on this matter. Don't let a monster ruin the martial arts world's customs.”
Ouyang Xin's heart trembled. He was a little dissatisfied with Tang Li's faint threat to him. However, he did indeed hate Ge Shuyi in his heart. To think that Ge Shuyi had worked with him in the past, but now, he wanted to ruin his position and not give him any face as the leader of the martial arts world.
"Sect Master Ge, Young Master Tang really died because of your girl.”Ouyang Xiong's voice carried the dignity of the Alliance Master. His meaning was clear. He wanted Ge Shuyi to hand over this girl.
"Hehe, Alliance Master Ouyang, I heard that Miss Lin Ruoyu was also poisoned by Ye Xiangqi a few days ago! Fortunately, the Valley Master of Pure Ice Valley was here, so he was able to keep his life. Ye Xiangqi was vicious and was forgiven, but my girl only relied on her own ability, and Young Master Tang died because he was not as good as her. Yet, you want to punish my girl. Isn't this unfair?”Ge Shuyi's tone was very light, but it was very threatening.
" You…" Ouyang Xiong was furious, but he could not say anything.
When everyone heard Ge Shuyi's words, they slowly sided with him. It was true that Tang Xiu's skills were inferior to his, but if Ouyang Xiong really spared Ye Xiangqi and punished Li Xi instead, it was indeed a bit of a cover-up.
"Everyone, listen to me." Just as everyone was discussing, Zhang Zhongshou stood up and raised his hand to stop the discussion.
"In my opinion, this competition is about martial arts and internal energy. Young Master Tang's skills were indeed inferior to others, and his internal energy was insufficient, which was why he unfortunately passed away.”
"Yes, yes." When the people below saw that the current prime minister said so, they also echoed.
"Could it be that my eldest senior brother died in vain?”Tang Li was still unwilling to back down.
"Alliance Master…"
Tang Li wanted to say more, but Ouyang Xiong raised his hand to stop him.
"Lord Zhang is right. Going up to the martial arts arena is going to the battlefield, so you can't blame anyone else. If you are not convinced, Tang Li, you can represent your Qing Ling Sect to compete with Miss Li Xi again.”Ouyang Xiong finally made his decision.
"..." Tang Li naturally saw the battle between his Eldest Senior Brother and Li Xi. Even his Eldest Senior Brother was not her opponent, so how could he deal with her?
"Hmph, my Qingling Sect won't let this go. Let's go.”Tang Li then left with the first-generation disciples, carrying Tang Xiu's corpse behind him.
The cold wind blew past and blew away the tense atmosphere. Everyone looked normal again, as if Tang Xiu had never existed.
Ouyang Xiong walked forward and raised his hand. The crowd fell silent.
" The Martial Arts Circle Convention has come to an end. The ten people we have decided to send to Ethereal Peak are Lord Zhang's son, Zhang Xingyan; Maple Feather Pavilion's Lin Ruoyu; Dian Cang Sect's Sword Snatcher; Jiyue Brothel's Chu Ting; Xuanqing Sect's Feng Feiqiu; Qingmu Gong's Nan Muyin; Jade Universe Sect's Jiang Xi; Pure Ice Valley's Nangong Luobing; Bai Sect's Gong Qianjia; and Li Xi from the Moon Leaving Sect. Ten days later, we will set off for Ethereal Peak.”
" Good, good, good…" The people below clapped excitedly regardless of whether they could go or not. Once the Martial Arts Circle Convention ended, another batch of martial arts heroes would appear!
Nangong Luo Bing looked at Chu Ji, who was standing opposite her, and a provocative smile appeared on her face. Ten days later, the dangerous journey would begin. Then, he stood up and left.
Chu Ji watched Nangong Luobing leave, and her eyes darkened. She looked at Shang Yu, who was standing beside her, and clenched her fists. Then, she left with Chu Lin. They still had to meet up with Chu Yin. Chu Yin had just snuck into the restaurant and hadn't found anything yet. Unexpectedly, Ge Shuyi stood up for her. She wondered what he was planning.
