(Thanks to Yingying’s friend for his reward, today’s first update is delivered!)

This man walked out with great strides, it was Ximen Jie.

"What? A life-and-death battle?" Everyone present was shocked.

Although the ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Sect repeatedly emphasized that the disciples should unite, they actually knew that not only were there competition and secret struggles between the peaks, but also factional struggles within each peak. And these struggles could not be completely eliminated. Therefore, when the Heavenly Demon Saint Ancestor established a sect, a rule was set: when the conflict between two people within the sect was irreconcilable, they could propose a life-and-death struggle to the sect.

There is no need to bear any responsibility to kill the other party in a life-and-death battle, and the other party’s master and brothers are not allowed to seek revenge from the winner, and the revenge will be eliminated if the person dies.

A life-and-death battle can be proposed by both parties at the same time, or by one sect, and the other has the right to agree or refuse.

However, according to the practice of the Demon Sect, if both sides have equal strength, the rejection party will often be considered a timid coward and be looked down upon.

After hearing this, Cai Kaiwei also frowned and said, "Nephew Ximen, what kind of grudge do you have with Jiang Chen? You actually have to resolve it by fighting life and death?"

Ximen Jie said with a righteous look on his face at this time: "A month ago, Jiang Chen beat my junior brother Yuan Cun seriously injured, without any guilt, and even threatened that there was nothing extraordinary about the Demon Corpse Peak. His words and deeds were an insult to my Demon Corpse Peak. Although Ximen Jie was not talented, he was willing to fight to the death for the reputation of this peak! Therefore, for the dignity of my Demon Corpse Peak, his disciple solemnly proposed: We must fight a life-and-death battle with Jiang Chen!"

"What? Jiang Chen, who cleans the garbage, has done such a thing?"

"This kid with mixed spirit roots is really good! I dare to say that my Demon Corpse Peak is so great!"

"Haha, Demon Soul Peak is really talented! A disciple who swept the garbage with a mixed spirit root can become the first in the small exam! It's not surprising that he can do such a thing!"

After hearing this, hundreds of disciples from other peaks below the field started to talk.

Most of the disciples of Demon Soul Peak knew the situation at that time. After hearing this, they were all so angry that their teeth clattered, thinking that this was really the evil man who complained first.

Wu Chuan immediately turned red and shouted: "Ximen Jie, are you shameless? It was obviously Yuan Zunyipinxiang Restaurant who tried to tease our Senior Sister Zheng, and even injured Senior Brother Yan... Senior Brother Jiang was just fighting back in self-defense!"

"Yes! If you want to insult the mountain where others are, Yuan Cunxian scolded people, saying that there is no one in our Demon Soul Peak, and that no cat or dog can stand out..."

"Yes! It was because Yuan Cun first scolded us Demon Soul Peak, and Senior Brother Jiang called back and said that Demon Soul Peak was nothing great... Ximen Jie is so good at being overwhelmed!"

Among the disciples of Demon Soul Peak, except Ding Lei, all experienced the incident a month ago, so naturally they were all indignant.

Of course, the disciples of Demon Corpse Peak were not to be outdone and also scolded them back, and the scene immediately became a quarrel.

"Haha, it turns out that these little guys are having such a play!" Several ancestors laughed.

The Demon Corpse Ancestor and the Demon Soul Ancestor were both embarrassed and could only laugh dryly, forcibly concealing the anger in their hearts.

The two were not very harmonious at first, but this time they heard the other party's disciples insulting their mountain peaks, and they were also very angry. They looked at each other and saw anger from each other's eyes.

Cai Kaiwei has not experienced the incident a month ago, so he naturally doesn't know which side is right, but since both sides looked angry, he secretly guessed that he was afraid that they would have acted too much.

"Okay! Everyone, calm down! Now is the time for the Yinling Pool competition, not the time to make you quarrel. You have to quarrel, wait until the game is over!" Cai Kaiwei said in a deep voice.

Although his voice was not loud, it felt a sense of oppression, which made the disciples of the two peaks feel a sharp pain in their minds, and the scene immediately became quiet.

"Jiang Chen! Ximen Jie from the Demon Corpse Peak just now proposed to change this competition into a life-and-death battle. I wonder if you are willing?" Cai Kaiwei asked Jiang Chen solemnly.

He was also a little dissatisfied with Ximen Jie's actions, because Ximen Jie had already reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, and Jiang Chen was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so the gap in strength was too obvious.

Ximen Jie was also afraid that Jiang Chen would not agree, because both sides had to be willing to fight for life and death. His cultivation level was higher than Jiang Chen's third level, and Jiang Chen also had sufficient reason to refuse.

So he quickly said before Jiang Chen answered: "Jiang Chen, if you are timid and afraid of death, just refuse! Anyway, I know that there are cowards on the Demon Soul Peak, and you are useless and useless. In the future, the people of your Demon Soul Peak will walk around when they see the people of our Demon Soul Peak!"

As soon as Ximen Jie said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. This was a public face of everyone in the Demon Soul Peak.

After hearing this, the Demon Soul Ancestor also narrowed his eyes and said in a sharp voice: "Ximen Jie, you are very brave! You dare to insult my Demon Soul Peak in front of so many people!"

Ximen Jie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, his eyes turned black, he could not see anything, his legs became weak, and he almost knelt down.

"Damn! Demon Soul, you are too much! The predecessor of the Golden Pill Stage attacked a junior in the Qi Refining Stage!" The Demon Corpse Ancestor immediately let out a heavy roar, and instantly interrupted the Demon Soul Stage's mental attack.

The Demon Soul Ancestor also knew that there was the Demon Soul Ancestor and so many of them were watching, so it was impossible for him to attack Ximen Jie again. But he said with anger: "Demon Soul, listen to what your disciples said! He not only insulted Jiang Chen, but also insulted my entire Demon Soul Peak!"

"Hehe! Brother Demon Soul, if your disciple wins the battle of life and death, wouldn't he be angry for you? This is a big thing that makes you feel a big fuss! What are you still worried about? It just depends on whether he has the courage to take on this battle of life and death!" The ancestor of the Demon Corpse said with a slight smile.

At this moment, everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Chen to see what answer he would give.

Although several other ancestors knew that Ximen Jie was acting like this, he was completely bullying the small. He, a disciple from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, proposed a life-and-death battle to the disciples from the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage. If it were under normal circumstances, the sect probably might not agree.

But now he has pulled Zhang's tiger skin to maintain the reputation of the mountain he is located. He has insulted the people on the Demon Soul Peak just now. If Jiang Chen refuses, he will confirm what he said: Demon Soul Peak is a coward and coward. In such a public eye, the Demon Soul Ancestor will lose all his face.

But if Jiang Chen takes on the life-and-death battle, he will basically lose. After all, it is very difficult for disciples from the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage to defeat the cultivators from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Those who know the inside story also know that Jiang Chen has only been in the art for three years, but Ximen Jie is a casual cultivator and has been practicing outside for more than ten years. His cultivation, magic weapons, and combat experience are far higher than Jiang Chen.

Liu Yang was also secretly proud of his heart. Ximen Jie's words were taught to him according to his father's order. Now it seems that it has indeed forced Jiang Chen and the Demon Soul Ancestor into a desperate situation, forcing them to face the battle.

"Jiang Chen! Let's fight! My Demon Soul Peak has never been afraid of death! And you, a junior brother from the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, will not be embarrassed to be defeated by the senior brother from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage!" After a moment of silence, the Demon Soul Ancestor finally said in a deep voice.

Everyone guessed at this time that the Demon Soul Ancestor was planning to sacrifice Jiang Chen to protect his face. After all, it is not surprising that Jiang Chen lost. The difference between the two of them is indeed a bit big. But if the Demon Soul Peak first place in the small test, they would not dare to face the challenge, and it would be too embarrassing to spread.

After all, the head can be cut off, blood can flow, and ambition cannot be lost. Under such provocation of Ximen Jie, if the champion of the Demon Soul Peak's test still dares not take the challenge, the disciples of the Demon Soul Peak are afraid that everyone will not be able to raise their heads in the sect.

On the contrary, if Jiang Chen bravely responded to the battle, even if he was defeated and died, his cultivation was just inferior to others, and others would not be able to say anything. After all, if a disciple from the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage competed with the disciple from the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, he would definitely be defeated.

"Okay! Ximen Jie, I'll take over the life-and-death battle you proposed!" Jiang Chen said word by word. A hint of sharpness also appeared in his eyes.

To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for Ximen Jie before, because it was very common to help his relatives and not help him. But Ximen Jie's actions just now were obviously to kill him. And a person who was so hostile to him, naturally Jiang Chen would not leave him in the world.

"Ah! Senior Brother Jiang, don't agree! Your cultivation is so big that Ximen Jie is just deliberately trying to kill you!" Zheng Yiran's beautiful eyes were already filled with tears. After all, Jiang Chen and the group of people from the Demon Corpse Peak made enemies to save her.

Wu Chuan also clenched his fists and was very angry. Although he belonged to Liu Yang's sect, Jiang Chen saved them without grudges, and now he is in a crisis of life and death because he offended the people of the Demon Corpse Peak.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the disciple Liu Yang was determined to deal with, whom everyone looked down upon, was the one who truly took responsibility for the Demon Soul Peak.

Cai Kaiwei sighed lightly. Although he felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Chen, he was helpless in the face of such a life-and-death battle.

So, he had to wave his hand and said, "Okay! You can go to the ring to compete! Life and death are determined by fate! The living person can become the fourth person to enter the Yin Spirit Pool to soak!"
