They are the women standing behind me.

"I've heard of the well-known names of Fellow Daoist Fang and Fellow Daoist Qiao."

Qiu Changsheng smiled and said, "It is because of Qin Xiaoyou that we are able to get to know each other today."

“People can naturally connect with each other through other people.”

Fang Yuanwang finished speaking with a smile, staring at Qiu Changsheng and saying straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I want to fight you!"

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I feel the same way!" Qiao Yuesheng followed suit.

Qiu Changsheng nodded and asked, "Is it private, or do you want to spread the news as well?"

Fang Yuanwang and Qiao Yuesheng exchanged a glance. Fang Yuanwang took a deep breath and asked in a negotiating tone, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going to go to the Chamber of Commerce and spread the word. We'll wait until tomorrow morning, travel 100,000 miles north of this city, set up a large formation, and then enter it for a battle. How do you think?"

"Friend Fang, don't you want to make some preparations?"

"Just ask Daoist Brother Qiao to borrow something to temporarily enrich yourself."

Fang Yuanwang said this with a smile. After the two sides discussed it, Fang Yuanwang went to the Chamber of Commerce, and soon another piece of news spread.

Tomorrow morning, Fang Yuanwang and Qiao Yuesheng will challenge Qiu Changsheng.

After hearing the news, many people decided to watch the battle and take a good look at Qiu Changsheng's fighting ability. If he couldn't beat Fang Yuanwang and Qiao Yuesheng or won with great difficulty, how could Qiu Changsheng possibly defeat Qin Wudi?

There is no need to waste time watching such a foreseeable battle.

……

Qin Xingyuan returned home under the stars and asked Hua Wanning, only to find out that Li Sujin had gone back long ago. He contacted Li Sujin through a sound transmission note, and she said they could talk about it tomorrow and there was no rush.

So Qin Xingyuan first went to fight with Baili Zhishi's Yinian, and then fought with Hua Wanning until almost dawn. Then he got out of bed and went out. Qin Xingyuan contacted Li Sujin and came to a place.

There are not many cultivators walking on the streets in Xiuxian City now. It is very rare. It seems that the entire Xiuxian City has suddenly become much emptier. They have probably gone to the place where Fang Yuanwang, Qiao Yuesheng and Qiu Changsheng fought and are waiting.

Qin Xingyuan didn't have to wait long before Li Sujin, wearing a loose robe, came.

The two looked at each other. Li Sujin blushed slightly and smiled awkwardly, saying, "I believe no one wants something like what happened yesterday to happen again."

"But no matter what, I've gotten a great deal."

Qin Xingyuan took out a storage bag and said, "Senior Li, let's not waste time talking. This is an apology for you. Please accept it."

Li Sujin took it and put it away, then said calmly, "Then, this matter is over. No one should take it to heart or mention it again. What's done is done."

"Senior Li, you think so clearly?"

"After all, I've talked to you about this before, and I'm somewhat fond of you. So, I think I have some affection for you. So, even though it's a little awkward, I don't feel like I've been disadvantaged."

"..."

Qin Xingyuan smiled and said, "I think Senior Li may not be as sincere as he appears to be."

"That's natural. If it had no effect at all, wouldn't I be treating you like a piece of stone? It's just... like I told you that day, you and I are not from the same world. And regardless of whether you're interested or not, I can't become your Taoist partner. I have the Sun Moon Palace behind me, and you've been there before. You know it very well, no need to explain."

Li Sujin nodded slightly and admitted, "No matter how small the sect is, it is still my home. They have been so kind to me, raising me and teaching me. I need to repay the sect. I can't abandon my sect for a man. I'm not your senior sister, nor am I a female cultivator from a powerful family like Flower Fairy. I have many responsibilities that I must shoulder."

She paused at this point and continued, "To be honest, even if I loved you deeply, and not just had a passing fondness for you, I would never be with you or stay by your side forever. So no matter how you feel about me, if you don't like me, that's best, but if you do, don't say it. If I have to choose between you and my sect, I will only choose my sect. Unfortunately, if we had feelings for each other back then, we could have been Taoist companions, but times have changed. I'm no longer a woman, but a Supreme Supreme within the sect. I have the responsibility for the entire sect."

Qin Xingyuan nodded, "I don't like Senior Li."

"That would be great. If we meet again in the future, we can still chat like we did today."

Li Sujin smiled faintly and asked more lively, "Where is the Flower Fairy?"

"I can't get up yet."

"..."

Li Sujin was stunned when she heard that. What on earth would it take to make it so that she couldn't even get up?

Isn’t it said that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is damaged by plowing?

She opened her red lips, but didn't know what to say, so she could only ask, "I also heard that Qiu Changsheng and Qiu Da Neng are going to fight someone. Are you going to go over and take a look too?"

"Ah."

Qin Xingyuan nodded.

"I...was also somewhat interested, so I decided to go and take a look."

Li Sujin said aloud: "Then I'll go first."

After she said this, she flew away from Xiuxian City.

When Qin Xingyuan returned home, he saw Hua Wanning still soundly asleep. He called out to her twice, and Hua Wanning finally opened her eyes drowsily. She asked in a rather lazy, hoarse voice, "What, what happened?"

"Wan Ning, do you want to watch the fight?"

"I need to sleep and recharge my batteries."

Hua Wanning muttered weakly, "Otherwise, how would I have the energy to fight you tonight until dawn?"

So Qin Xingyuan kissed her red lips, and after she fell asleep again, he went out and came to the place where Fang Yuanwang, Qiao Yuesheng and Qiu Changsheng fought.

There are so many people here.

Someone saw him and immediately shouted, "Qin Wudi is here to watch the battle!"

Upon hearing the voice, everyone in the audience immediately looked at Qin Xingyuan.

"He is indeed the center of attention wherever he goes."

Liu Ruyuan, who was standing beside Li Sujin, sighed a little, then said with a half-smile, "And I previously invited Senior Li to go to the mountain waters to watch the battle between Gai Shanhe and Han Yingsong, but Senior Li wasn't interested. I didn't expect him to be quite interested in this battle?"

Li Sujin looked at Qin Xingyuan and just smiled softly, then continued: "Since it's close, and we don't have to travel far, so it doesn't hurt to come and take a look."

……

Chapter 444: Strong men gather together

……

While Li Sujin was talking to Liu Ruyuan, Fang Yuanwang, who was praised for having some of the style of the former Sword King and was now dubbed the "Little Sword King", had already stepped into the formation and started fighting with Qiu Changsheng.

A battle broke out immediately.

Qiu Changsheng fought with Fang Yuanwang for more than a thousand rounds before completely defeating Fang Yuanwang. Then he followed Qiao Yuesheng into the battle and fought for almost a thousand rounds again, and Qiao Yuesheng was defeated.

Of course, everyone present knew that in this kind of competition, unless there was a grudge, Qiu Changsheng would give face even if he could crush them, and he fought with Fang Yuanwang and Qiao Yuesheng for a long time.

That's why people privately talked about Gai Shanhe and Han Yingsong being unruly after their battle.

"As expected, it is difficult to transcend small realms when the realm is high."

"Fang Da Neng and Qiao Da Neng are both top figures in the late stage of the Spiritual Severing Realm, but isn't Qiu Da Neng a top figure in the small perfection of the Spiritual Severing Realm? So it's normal that they can be suppressed."

"From this point of view, Gai Shanhe and Gai Daneng are quite formidable. They defeated Han Daneng without any difficulty by crossing a small realm. It's true that not everyone can cross a small realm."

"Oh, what's the big deal about crossing a small realm? Look at Qin Wudi, who is in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm..."

There are all kinds of sounds.

Liu Ruyuan, Xie Jianan, Li Sujin, and the others also looked at Qiu Changsheng, while Tang Zhenzhen asked Qiu Li, "Brother Li, if both sides are top-tier figures, then the gap in realm is truly difficult to bridge. Hmm... what do you think are Qin Wudi's chances of winning against Qiu Changsheng?"

"If Brother Qin's strength is similar to when he fought Xuanyuan Fenghua, he naturally has no chance of winning."

Qiu Li continued, "But I absolutely don't believe that Brother Qin is just standing still and making no progress at all."

Then everyone dispersed and returned to Xiuxian City.

This battle also caused quite a bit of heated discussion, and it was considered a "warm-up" before the battle between Qin Xingyuan and Qiu Changsheng.

Because of the fighting power displayed by Qiu Changsheng and the fighting power shown by Qin Xingyuan in his battle with Xuanyuan Fenghua, the outside world is particularly looking forward to this battle.

If things go wrong, Qiu Changsheng might be able to completely suppress Qin Xingyuan, stopping Qin Xingyuan's path to the realm of distraction.

As time goes by, the day of the battle between Qin Xingyuan and Qiu Changsheng is getting closer and closer, and the heat of the battle is getting more and more intense instead of decreasing.

When some monks were discussing who had a better chance of winning the battle on the street, someone saw someone and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Wang Yangpai, Wang Da Neng?!"

Many people looked over.

Wang Yangpai is as handsome as jade, with clear eyes and a smile on his face, looking approachable.

"Wang Da Neng actually came to watch this battle?!"

"Back then, Gai Da Neng and Han Da Neng had a fight in the mountain and water area. Wang Da Neng was so close but he didn't even go to see it. I didn't expect him to come all the way here now?!"

"As expected, Qin Wudi's name is loud and attractive enough."

Everyone was talking about it, and someone even stepped forward, raised his hands and clasped them together, "Greetings, Wang Daneng."

Wang Yangpai nodded slightly.

"Wang Da Neng, who do you think has a better chance of winning in a battle between Qin Wudi and Qiu Changsheng?" the man asked curiously.

"I just came to see what I didn't know."

Wang Yangpai smiled gently with a pleasant expression, and seemed to have noticed something. He slowly turned his head and looked. Not far away, there was a young man who was 1.9 meters tall, tall and mighty, with a majestic appearance. He had double pupils, a stern face, and stared at him with cold eyes.

Wang Yangpai asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Gai Shanhe, did you come here specifically to look for me?"

Everyone here was shocked when they heard the sound.

Gai Shanhe, who is invincible in all the human domains and at the same level, is recognized by almost everyone as the most powerful person at the minor perfection level of the Spirit Severing Realm!

They met here?!

Gai Shanhe spoke directly and mockingly, "Were you afraid of losing before? So you didn't dare to come?"

Wang Yangpai smiled and said, "Lose to you?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Fellow Daoist Gai, you have an unrivaled appearance, so you don't take anyone else seriously?"

"I don't even care about heaven and earth."

Gai Shanhe spoke bluntly, "I defy the heavens and crush the earth! I aim to ascend to the heavens! You are merely a stepping stone on my way there! I've even come to you today, openly challenging you. Don't you intend to accept this battle?! If you do, I will forever despise you, a coward!"

Wang Yangpai clapped his hands and said bluntly, "Fellow Daoist Gai, if you can defeat Qin Wudi, I will fight you. I've given you the conditions. If you can do it, I will take action..."

He paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and softly uttered two words, "Crush you."

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they heard.

Gai Shanhe looked at Wang Yangpai, who was squinting his eyes, and felt as if countless huge waves were crashing down on him. His mind was frightened and trembled violently. He subconsciously took a step back as if to avoid danger.

He knew that Wang Yangpai was very strong, probably even stronger than he could have imagined!

"I can't possibly challenge a cultivator who's only in the early stages of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Since you don't dare to fight me, don't make so many excuses. But if you dare to fight me, I'll naturally make you understand that no one can ever claim to be able to crush me. I'll make you understand how ridiculous you are!"

Gai Shanhe said this in a cold voice, then walked forward, brushing past Wang Yangpai and said coldly and firmly, "You will definitely lose to me! It's only a matter of time!"

He said this and strode away. The people in front of him dispersed and made way for him. No one dared to block him.

After that, the news spread immediately and swept across the entire Xiuxian City.

When Wang Yangpai met Gai Shanhe, even though Gai Shanhe openly provoked and mocked him, Wang Yangpai still did not engage in battle. But not long after, someone spread the news that Bian Wujiang, a top-notch and well-known figure in the realm of distraction, made a high-profile appearance in this immortal cultivation city.

Even people who have reached the minor and major perfection in the Spiritual Severing Realm keep appearing one after another.

It was as if all the famous and powerful people of this great era gathered in this city to witness the battle between Qin Xingyuan and Qiu Changsheng with their own eyes.

Many young people were extremely excited. They didn't expect to see so many celebrities this time.

When many other major domains and forces heard the news, the big figures of the sects also brought their young people here quickly to let their young people broaden their horizons and recognize the big figures of higher realms. By the way, they used this opportunity to make friends with the young people from other places and help them expand their personal networks, etc.

A month is not a long time. When the day came, Li Sujin and Hua Wanning came together to the place of battle.

Li Sujin looked at Hua Wanning, whose face was rosy and shiny, with a faint charm in her eyes. She looked weak and dazed. She really wondered if Hua Wanning was still having a "crazy battle" with Qin Xingyuan half an hour ago?

Li Sujin naturally saw that there were a lot of people here, including a large number of people in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and even many well-known figures in the Spirit Severing Realm gathered here. There were also many cultivators whose realms she could not see through. They were probably in the Hedao Realm, or maybe the Tribulation Realm?

No matter what, the scene was indeed spectacular and shocking, with a lot of people and extremely lively.

Not long after, Qiu Changsheng and Qin Xingyuan came together.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I hope you can defeat Qin Wudi and stop him from reaching the Spirit Severing Realm!" someone joked.

Someone else cheered him on, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, come on! Show the might of the Spirit Severing Realm!"

Bian Wujiang asked Wang Yangpai beside him, "Who do you think is more promising, Fellow Daoist Wang?"

He didn't hear Wang Yangpai's voice, so he turned around and found that Wang Yangpai was staring at Qin Xingyuan with an extremely solemn expression.
