Chapter 1402: Qing Cong Out of Retreat
Chapter 1402: Qing Cong Out of Retreat
“Our Di Family is being courteous. The compensation we offer is more than enough. May I know why you aren’t unwilling to give up this place? Once people know that we are fighting for the settlement in this place, it will definitely attract other families. They may think that there is something special in this valley. By then, if another rich family meddles in, none of us will get this valley. I believe you guys don’t want such a situation to happen, right?” The thin man rolled his eyes and continued.
Qing Gu’s face turned gloomy. Although the thin man’s words were just guesswork, once this matter got serious, there was a great possibility that things would change.
Hearing the words, the square-faced burly man also had a solemn look.
After all, his purpose was to take down Moyun Valley as the new foundation of the family. If somebody else took advantage of his hard work, that was not worth it.
“Elder Di You is right, but no matter what, we Qing Family will not give up this place. If that happens, you and I just try our best to fight for it. Let destiny decide who will get this place.” Qing Gu pondered for a moment, but he said with a firm tone.
“Elder Qing Gu is really wise and brave as rumored. But I have another solution. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?” The square-faced burly man nodded slightly to the thin man, then he said with a faint smile.
“Elder Di You, please tell us.” Qing Gu said with a flash of his eyes.
“We won’t be able to reach a conclusion if we keep arguing endlessly. We cultivators naturally speak based on our strengths. Why don’t we have a contest to decide the ownership of Moyun Valley? No matter which side loses, they will strictly abide by the agreement and give up this place.” The thin man said with a serious expression.
Hearing the thin man’s words, Qing Gu was shocked. Qing Fang and Yan Shan also had ugly expressions.
Di Family’s Tian Luo Technique was a well-known fire attribute technique for fighting. Moreover, the Di Family had 2 Celestial State later stage and 2 intermediate stage demons, which were obviously stronger than the Qing Family.
In terms of fighting skills, the Qing Family would definitely lose more than win.
“Are you scared to take the challenge? Or do you think that the Qing Family’s technique is inferior to ours?” Di You saw the changes in their expressions, then he said sarcastically.
Hearing Di You ridicule the Qing Family’s technique, Qing Fang and Yan Shan were furious, but they did not speak. They just set their gaze on Qing Gu.
Qing Gu’s eyes flickered for a while, then he said, “Okay, since you want to solve this conflict with a contest, we will naturally agree to it. However, can you tell the specific details of the contest?”
Seeing that Qing Gu agreed to the contest without hesitation, Qing Fang and Yan Shan were started. They wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Qing Gu’s gaze.
“Haha, Elder Qing Gu is really straightforward. As for the contest… we will send 3 contestants from our families. It’s a best of 3 matches. This Moyun Valley will belong to the winner.” Di You laughed and said almost without thinking.
“Okay, we will do it according to your suggestion, but the venue of the contest must be determined by us.” Qing Gu nodded and said.
Di You was startled when he heard this. He was originally a scheming person. When he heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. However, he had already proposed the contest details, so he couldn’t refuse to let the Qing Family choose the venue.
“Then where does Mr. Qing Gu want to set? Let me be clear in advance, our Di Family is practicing the fire attribute technique. If mister chooses to compete in a place with extremely cold air, it will be unfair. If this is known by the others, you will ruin the reputation of your Qing Family.” Di You said after pondering for a moment.
“Hmph, we Qing Family naturally won’t choose that kind of place. Don’t worry, the venue will be set in Moyun Valley. After 3 days, we will decide the winner.” Qing Gu said lightly.
“Okay, it’s a deal!” The square-faced burly man, Di Long, was relieved to hear that the venue was set in the Moyun Valley. He stood up and said.
There was no cold place in Moyun Valley. Although the Qing Family must have their own plan to set the venue here, he wasn’t too worried as he had higher strength.
Di You and the other 2 members of the Di Family stood up, emitted a brilliance of red light at the same time, and revealed proud and provocative looks. The entire hall was full of red lights. The surrounding temperature also increased.
“See off the guests!” Qing Gu was astounded, but he remained calm. He stood up and said coldly.
“We won’t bother you guys! I’ll let you stay here for a few more days and enjoy your last time.” The 4 of Di Family looked at each other with a smug look, then Di Long laughed out loud and said arrogantly.
The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so they didn’t stay any longer.
Seeing the members of the Di Family leave, Qing Gu and the other 2 still stood in the hall.
Qing Gu was silent as if he was thinking about something. Although Qing Fang and Yan Shan had something to say, they didn’t speak for a while.
“You guys can say what you are thinking.” Qing Gu turned around, looked at them, and said with a faint smile.
“Elder Qing Gu, please forgive me for being blunt. Why did you agree to fight with the Di Family to determine the ownership of Moyun Valley? The Di Family is powerful. I’m afraid we will lose more than win this battle.” Qing Fang hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“How could I not know that the Di Family is stronger than us, but if I don’t agree to it, the Di Family will definitely not give up. If this matter is really known by other families, it will attract other forces to covet Moyun Valley. Then, our situation will be even worse.” Qing Gu said with a sigh.
Qing Fang frowned and said something, but Yan Shan had already stretched out his hand to stop him.
“It’s useless to say that now. Now that we have agreed to fight, does Elder Qing Gu have any good plan to win the contest? Elder Qing Gu must have something in your mind to set the venue in Moyun Valley.” Yan Shan asked with scorching eyes.
“Elder Yan Shan is right. This battle will determine the future of my Qing Family, so I won’t be careless. The reason why I set the venue in Moyun Valley is that I really want to take advantage of the location here.” ” Qing Gu said with a faint smile.
“Location advantage?” Qing Fang showed a hint of doubt.
Yan Shan was also taken aback. Immediately, he blurted out, “Does Elder Qing Gu mean to use…”
“Yes, I plan to build the arena on top of the Three Illumination Hall. We will integrate the water vapor of the Three Illumination Water into the arena with an enchantment… The Three Illumination Water is beneficial to our technique. If we fight in this arena, our chances of winning can be increased by 30%.” Qing Gu immediately explained his plan.
Yan Shan and Qing Fang couldn’t help but be overjoyed when they heard this. This was indeed a doable plan.
“Elder Qing Gu’s plan is clever, but the Di Family will definitely find out about it. Will they use this as an excuse to make trouble?” Yan Shan said worriedly after being happy.
“They have already agreed to fight in Moyun Valley. Even if they use this as an excuse, we will have something to prevaricate, so you don’t have to worry.” Qing Gu snorted and said.
Qing Fang and Yan Shan nodded without saying anything.
“Then what about the candidates for the contest? Could it be the 3 of us?” Qing Fang asked again.
Qing Gu pondered for a moment before saying with a sigh, “This battle will decide the future of my Qing Family. Although I don’t want to do this, I’d better ask Elder Qing Cong out, then Elder Yan Shan and I will participate in it too.”
When Qing Fang heard this, his face changed slightly, but he didn’t say much.
Ever since Elder Qing Cong resigned as family master, because his lifespan was about to end, he had been retreating for many years.
However, Qing Cong at the Celestial State later stage had solid strength. Qing Gu was also at the Celestial State later stage. With the help of the Three Illumination Hall, the Qing Family had a good chance of winning.
“Yes.” Yan Shan clapped his hands and agreed.
The three discussed some details, then Qing Fang and Yan Shan immediately left the hall and started to build the arena above the Three Illumination Hall.
After the 2 left, Qing Gu looked into the distance and sighed in his mind.
If Liu Ming is here, with his strength, this Di Family is nothing against us.
For this contest, although he arranged this strategy, whether they could beat Di Family was still uncertain.
…
3 days passed in a flash. In the depths of Qing Family Manor, a green arena with a size of 300 meters was built above a white building. The arena was surrounded by more than a dozen huge green stone pillars.
The arena was neatly paved with large green bricks. These green bricks were as jade-like in color and as solid as iron. They were extremely precious materials at first glance.
A thick column of white light shot out from the white building below, supporting the green arena. Rays of white light emanated from the stone pillars around the arena, forming a semicircular white light curtain.
At this moment, it was just dawn, but the Qing Family Manor was already full of people.
The fight with the Di Family had already spread within the family. It was related to the future of the Qing Family, so the disciples had gathered near the arena in the early morning. There were nearly a thousand people in a short period of time.
There were 4 figures standing near the arena. They were the 4 Celestial State elders of the Qing Family. Among them, there was a silver-haired elder, who was Qing Cong, the previous family master of the Qing Family.
The aura he exuded was more refined than before the retreat, but he still hadn’t broken through to the Celestial State peak stage. There was even a faint death aura emanating from his body, which clearly showed that his lifespan was ending.
Although Qing Cong had been in seclusion for more than a hundred years, he had been in charge of the Qing Family for many years. Most of the disciples in the family still recognized him. His appearance naturally lifted the spirit of the disciples around.
However, Qing Gu and the other 3 elders didn’t care about the Qing Family’s disciples around the arena. They all looked a bit gloomy, but Qing Cong had a calm expression on his face.
TL: If Qing Cong makes a suicide move, the Qing Family will guarantee to have 1 win, right? Can they win this contest without Liu Ming?
