Nine Yang Sword God

The confrontation between talisman masters was about who drew the talismans stronger than who, and it was even harder than who drew the talismans.    

    

Victory and defeat were quickly decided in the third match. The crowd in the square erupted with deafening cheers. Because the victor was already decided, the Symbol Master from the Hidden Dragon Gate had won.    

    

With this, the fifteen matches were over. The Saint realm sect had won eight rounds, and the Hidden Dragon Gate had won seven.    

    

Although the Sacred Domain was still in the lead in the Hidden Dragon Palace, there were still six rounds left. The runemasters would fight three rounds and the cultivators would fight three rounds.    

    

One could see that runes masters were also very important. After all, in this world, the most important thing was cultivation, so putting aside the fact that cultivation was the most important thing, runemasters were the most respected and rare amongst the side businesses.    

    

Having runemasters fight in a showdown between seal masters, array masters, refiners, alchemists, and beast tamers was not without reason. One could also see the importance of rune masters.    

    

At this moment, on the high platform.    

    

The three elders of the Saint Sect were the Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder. On the other hand, the Hidden Dragon Gate had many people accompanying them; other than the Vice Sect Leader, there were also the Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, and Eighth Elder.    

    

Since this year's Hidden Dragon Gate was the host, their attitude naturally couldn't be weak.    

    

The Saint realm grand elder was a rather thin looking old man. His eyebrows were raised, his cheekbones were high, and his chin was slightly pointed. His eyes exuded a proud luster.    

    

"Deputy Sect Leader Mo, our Saint's Sect has already won eight rounds. This year, I'm afraid our Saint's Sect will win once again." "If we were to win once more in the Saint realm, it would be four consecutive victories. To be able to obtain so many treasures from the Hidden Dragon Gate for four years in a row would really be quite embarrassing."    

    

The Elders of the Hidden Dragon Gate frowned, their eyes filled with anger.    

    

Deputy Sect Leader Mo smiled and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Victory is commonplace in war. If the Hidden Dragon Gate loses, then the Hidden Dragon Clan will be unable to handle it. But the match was not over, the result was not yet clear, who was the winner was still unknown, why did Great Elder Liu have to be so hasty to come to a conclusion? Would this seem to be too hasty? "    

    

Great Elder Liu smiled slightly and said, "This rune battle has always been a strong point of our Saint realm sect. As long as we can win three rounds, the Hidden Dragon Gate will never have a chance to turn the tables again. Even if we can only win two rounds, as long as we can win even one match in the final round, it will still be our victory.    

    

Vice Sect Head Mo laughed and said: "Great Elder Liu is still as confident as ever. But no matter what, we should let strength speak for itself."    

    

"Alright."    

    

The six Elders laughed. "Then we'll wait and see. Let's see how the results are."    

    

While they were talking, the sixth round of competition had already begun.    

    

The sixth round of the competition was between rune masters. There were a total of three rounds, one for the fifth-ranked rune masters, one for the fourth-ranked rune masters, and one for the third-ranked rune masters.    

    

In the first match, the Hidden Dragon Gate and Saint realm would each take a fifth step rune master, and the two would compete to condense a fifth step rune, a fifth step defensive rune, and an offensive fifth step rune. Whoever used the least time, Heaven Stones, and Spirit Stones would be the one to win.    

    

The one who came out of the Saint Sect was a young woman dressed in black. Her face was cold, and she looked very cold.    

    

The Hidden Dragon Gate had sent out a disciple of the Dark Symbol Master Pavilion who had become a protector.    

    

The duels soon began.    

    

The two of them condensed their spirit inscriptions together, and the hourglass also began to count.    

    

Whoosh.    

    

Spiritual energy and streams of light appeared continuously from the center of the plaza. Everyone's eyes were fixated on the scene, wanting to see who was faster and who needed the least spirit stones to condense the spirit inscription symbol.    

    

Very quickly, the woman in black condensed the first rune. When the woman in black condensed the third rune, the protector of the Hidden Dragon School only condensed two.    

    

There was no doubt that the black-clothed girl from the Saint Sect was condensing at an even faster speed. Therefore, the next item to be competed in was who used the least spirit stones and Heavenly Stones.    

    

Not long after that, the protector of the Hidden Dragon School also condensed three spirit inscriptions, and the competition ended.    

    

The Saint realm sect and Hidden Dragon Gate had sent one person to check the amount of spirit stones and Heavenly Stones left over. After that, they would register the results and make a public announcement.    

    

"The Saint realm sect's Tai'e was the fastest to condense the three spirit inscriptions, using the least amount of spirit stones."    

    

"Hidden Dragon Gate disciple Ouyang Zhu has used the least amount of Heavenly Stones to condense three spirit inscriptions."    

    

"Combining three deciding factors, Saint Sect disciple Taia Li wins!"    

    

Hearing this sentence, the square was immediately filled with dejected voices.    

    

The six Great Elders on the high platform were all smiles as they said, "Deputy Sect Master Mo, like I said just now, our Saint realm sect specializes in inscription symbol condensation. Now that we've won the first round, if we win the next two rounds, we might not even need to start the seventh round."    

    

Even though Vice Sect Leader Mo was also smiling, he was extremely agitated in his heart.    

    

If the Hidden Dragon Gate lost again, not only would it be a joke, but it would also lose a lot of treasures after losing for three years. If they lost another year, the Hidden Dragon Gate would also lose big time.    

    

How could a wager between two great sects be an ordinary thing?    

    

Even the high and mighty Deputy Sect Master Mo felt heartache.    

    

No one wanted to lose. None of the members of the Hidden Dragon Gate wanted to lose, especially those from the Saint realm.    

    

But there was no other way. Vice Sect Head Mo also knew clearly in his heart that the Saint realm sect was indeed very strong when it came to condensing spirit inscription symbols.    

    

Could it be that the Hidden Dragon Gate will still lose this year?    

    

Vice Sect Head Mo could no longer remain calm.    

    

"..."    

    

At this moment, the four Tianxue cranes flew through the Hidden Dragon Gate and into the Ten Thousand Beast Hall.    

    

After getting off the Heavenly Snow Crane, Chu Qu looked around and asked curiously, "Eh, what's going on? Why is it so quiet today, with no one around? "    

    

Qin Shi was also puzzled. "This is neither the time for sermons nor the time for rest. Isn't Hidden Dragon Gate too quiet?"    

    

As he spoke, Chu Qu brought Jiao Qianxue into the Ten Thousand Beast Hall with her.    

    

Not long after, Chu Qu and Jiao Qianxue rushed out excitedly.    

    

Chu Qu said loudly, "Brother Qin, I know why there is no one at the Hidden Dragon Gate! "Have we forgotten one thing? Today is the day of the competition between the disciples of the Saint realm and the Hidden Dragon School!"    

    

Qin Ye's brows suddenly rose, and said: "That's right, how could I have forgotten about this? Let's go take a look! "    

    

"..."
