The crowd on the Island looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw more than ten Cultivators descend from the sky, uniformly dressed in Zhao Family white robes.
The one who spoke just now was a Young Cultivator with a cold and stern face, radiating Spiritual Power Fluctuation of Perfected Qi Condensation Realm.
Closely following him were two Foundation Establishment Realm Elders.
Even Li Yuanqing at the Center of the Field, upon seeing these people arrive, had a gloomy expression.
"It's actually Ninth Young Master of Zhao Family, Zhao Chanzhen!"
"Why is he here?"
"People from the Zhao Family?"
"Are they here to cause trouble?"
"The Zhao Family and our Loose Cultivator Alliance have been at peace for decades."
"Why today…"
…
Li Yuanqing's expression turned cold, his eyebrows raised, and he coldly questioned the Zhao Family people, "Ninth Young Master of Zhao Family, what is the meaning of this?"
"Does the Zhao Family intend to interfere in the affairs of our Seventy-Two Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Zhao Chanzhen, facing the Foundation Establishment Cultivator before him, showed no fear and said:
"Heh heh, since this Spirit Island is an Unowned Island, could it be that our Zhao Family cannot participate in the auction?"
"Senior Li, that's a bit unreasonable, wouldn't you say?"
Li Yuanqing sneered upon hearing this, "Your Zhao Family is fighting intensely with the Spirit Feather Sect in the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness, I didn't expect you still have the leisure to come here and auction a Spirit Island that is not worth mentioning."
Zhao Chanzhen's expression became very unsightly upon hearing these words, clearly losing his composure.
"Senior Li need not worry about how the war situation at the front is."
"Our Zhao Family has come here this time, and we are determined to participate in the Spirit Island Contention."
"Let me be clear, if you want to exclude our Zhao Family, that is absolutely impossible."
Clearly, the Zhao Family's attitude was already very clear.
The two Foundation Establishment Realm Elders of the Zhao Family also had sharp glints in their eyes, staring intently at Li Yuanqing.
The Scene suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.
Li Yuanqing was also puzzled, why would the Zhao Family suddenly interfere?
And with such a firm attitude.
To break off relations with the Zhao Family and disrupt the Balance of many years for a not-so-valuable Island.
It was also not worth it.
After weighing it repeatedly, he asked directly, "The Bidding Price for the Spirit Island is already at twenty thousand Spirit Stones."
"Is Ninth Young Master of Zhao Chanzhen going to Bid Increase?"
Zhao Chanzhen saw that Li Yuanqing had relented, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "I think the overall Value of this Island, after assessment, is not worth this price."
"It should be auctioned in another way!"
Li Yuanqing's face twitched again upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "What way do you want to change to?"
Zhao Chanzhen immediately said, "The Cultivation World respects Strength, so naturally, we must see the truth in Combat Method."
"How about this, all Cultivators present who can afford ten thousand Spirit Stones can participate in the Contention for this Spirit Island."
"Life and death are not guaranteed, drawing lots for Combat, the final winner only needs to pay ten thousand Spirit Stones to gain Ownership of the Spirit Island."
"Fair and Just, the final Result will not only be Acknowledged by your Loose Cultivator Alliance, but also by our Zhao Family."
"If you don't even have the Strength to Protect Island, what's the use of auctioning it?"
After Zhao Chanzhen finished speaking, he waited for the Loose Cultivator Alliance's reply.
His words, although seemingly crude, were not without reason.
But in reality, he intended to use his influence to suppress others and take down this Island at the lowest possible cost.
Even if the Spirit Vein is scattered, it is still Second Tier.
These Loose Cultivator Alliance members are all Qi Condensation Family, without Foundation Establishment Cultivators at all, how can they compare with the Zhao Family, which has a deep Foundation.
The Cultivators at the Scene began to discuss among themselves.
They didn't expect such a turn of events.
Li Yuanqing's Expression was also uncertain, and he turned to discuss with the Senior Members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
After a while.
Li Yuanqing returned to Inside the Field again and said to the Zhao Family people, "It is not impossible to decide the final Ownership through Combat."
"However, our Loose Cultivator Alliance also has to add two Conditions."
"Firstly, the Cultivation of the Cultivators participating in this Competition is limited to Qi Condensation Realm, the Combat Sparring should stop when enough is enough, and Human Life must not be harmed, otherwise, the Qualification for Contention will be revoked."
"Secondly, the Spirit Stones to be paid will be increased to fifteen thousand."
Li Yuanqing had obviously seen through what the Zhao Family was planning and directly increased the Spirit Stones by five thousand.
In this way, even if the Spirit Island was Contended for by the Zhao Family, the Loose Cultivator Alliance's losses would not be great, within an acceptable Range.
"Alright!"
Zhao Chanzhen turned his head and exchanged a few words with the two Elders, then nodded in agreement.
The two sides reached a Consistent agreement.
Next, Li Yuanqing ordered people to remove all the Chairs, leaving a larger Wide Open Space in the middle.
"Alright, you've all heard it." "Anyone who has ideas about this Island can come forward to Registration and Drawing Lots."
"This Competition will be judged by this old man, in terms of Safety, you can Rest Assured and Without Worry."
As soon as Li Yuanqing's words fell.
Most of the Cultivators who had just been Bidding Price instantly ran away.
And on the Zhao Family's side, it was actually Zhao Chanzhen who personally took the field. As soon as he entered, the Expressions of the Rogue Cultivators became extremely unsightly.
"Sigh! I didn't expect Zhao Chanzhen to take action himself."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I advise you not to participate in the Contention." Wu Jiang sighed, hesitatingly advising.
Qin Ming frowned, "Does this Zhao Chanzhen have any special background?"
"This person is an Outstanding Person among the Zhao Family's Younger Generation, with extremely high Cultivation Talent, and he is at Qi Condensation Perfection at a young age."
"It is said that he has cultivated the Zhao Family's Primordial Origin Sword Art to the point of Reaching Perfection."
"It's not that I'm being pessimistic, but those Rogue Cultivators who just went to Registration are probably not his Opponents." Wu Jiang explained.
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this.
But he was quite satisfied with this Island, it was very suitable for his solitary Cultivation.
If he went to look for other Islands, he might not find a better place than this.
In a short while.
Qin Ming made a decision.
Fifteen thousand Spirit Stones, he could accept.
As for Zhao Chanzhen… compared to those Core Disciples of the Spirit Feather Sect who died in his hands, he wondered how they would compare?
Subsequently.
Under Wu Jiang's gaze, Qin Ming walked towards Inside the Field.
Wu Jiang instantly froze, "Isn't this, could it be that I didn't express myself clearly?"
…
Qin Ming stepped forward to Registration, drew lots, and then retreated to Outside the Field to wait.
There were not many Cultivators participating in the Combat Method this time.
There were only less than twenty Cultivators.
These were all Late Qi Condensation Realm and Qi Condensation Perfection Cultivators who had confidence in their Strength.
Others probably saw Zhao Chanzhen taking the field, and all gave up on this Contention.
After Drawing Lots, the Competition immediately began.
The Rogue Cultivators who drew the first group of lots began to go on stage for Combat.
For a time.
Splendid Spells flew around the Field.
Causing the Cultivators watching at the Scene to exclaim in surprise.
After all, Combat between Late Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators was rare for these Rogue Cultivators with low Cultivation to see normally.
The Combat quickly determined the outcome.
Among the Cultivators in this Competition, there was actually a Beast Tamer who summoned a Tier One Late Stage Black Panther Demonic Beast.
Equivalent to two against one, he easily won the Combat.
After two consecutive rounds.
A unlucky Ninth Level Qi Condensation Rogue Cultivator drew Zhao Chanzhen.
He was kicked out of the Field after having his arm severed by a sword.
Seeing such a sharp Sword Art, the Cultivators participating in the Combat all changed color.
Next, the Rogue Cultivators who encountered Zhao Chanzhen all declared to abstain.
Qin Ming also took the stage twice, encountering Late Qi Condensation Realm Opponents.
But under the cover of his Divine Sense comparable to Foundation Establishment Realm, the Opponent's Spells were Full of Flaws.
He casually cast a few Basic Spells of the wood element and sent the Opponent away from Outside the Field.
Not surprisingly.
In the Final Round, only Qin Ming and Zhao Chanzhen remained.
Zhao Chanzhen's gaze was solemn as he looked at Qin Ming, who had an ordinary appearance, standing opposite him.
A trace of vigilance flashed across his cold and stern face.
It was true that people cannot be judged by appearance.
Because he had just watched Qin Ming's two Combats, they could be said to be extremely relaxed and effortless, only using some Basic Spells to defeat his Opponents.
It was estimated that his real skills had not even been used yet.
The atmosphere at the Scene instantly reached its peak.
Just when everyone thought.
A Fierce Battle was about to begin.
Suddenly.
The corner of Zhao Chanzhen's eye twitched, and he choked out, "I concede! I abstain."
