CHAPTER 368: Qualification to Ascend the Mountain
"This friend, are you also here to watch the battle?"
At this moment, the burly man saw Liu Yu walking over and seemed to have thought of something, his eyes brightening as he spoke up.
"Indeed."
"But looking at the current situation, it seems we might have to return empty-handed."
Liu Yu clasped his hands together and said with some helplessness.
After speaking, he glanced at the White Cloud Temple cultivators blocking the main road, slightly furrowing his brow.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several people around him changed, growing displeased.
"Since our goals are the same, let's discuss a strategy together. This matter may not be without hope."
"I traveled a great distance to watch the battle, and because of the White Cloud Temple's obstruction, I refuse to return empty-handed!"
"My name is Zhao Biao, may I ask how to address you?"
The burly man, Zhao Biao, shifted his gaze and walked over enthusiastically.
"I am Hong Hao."
"Discuss? How shall we discuss?"
"Does the White Cloud Temple really think they can prevent us from ascending the mountain? Can we not force our way through the blockade?"
"After all, the other side has the presence of a nascent soul old monster. Just sending out a golden core master would be enough to sweep aside us watching cultivators."
After a brief introduction, Liu Yu curiously asked.
Zhao Biao smiled mysteriously and looked at the distant White Cloud Temple cultivators.
"The White Cloud Temple is indeed a behemoth, but right now they are on shaky ground and cannot send many cultivators to Tianwang Mountain."
"Moreover, among the cultivators here to watch the battle, there may be golden core seniors as well."
"As long as we unite, can the White Cloud Temple truly keep everyone at the foot of the mountain?"
"When Master Changfeng from the Yuan Yang Sect arrives, and if there is a golden core senior among the crowd, we can bolster our numbers, making it difficult for them to maintain their blockade."
Zhao Biao spoke confidently, laying out his analysis.
To watch the battle on the mountain, he seemed to have put a lot of thought into it.
His enthusiasm was also due to the fact that he saw this "Friend Hong" as being at the peak of the mid foundation establishment stage, which could strengthen their cause.
Though this person appeared to be rough and sturdy, he actually had depth, and upon careful consideration, his analysis seemed quite reasonable.
Liu Yu couldn't help but view him in a new light, nodding and saying, "Friend Zhao is right. If we don't want to return empty-handed, we should indeed unite."
"How about this? Just inform me when the time comes, and I will definitely cooperate."
As he spoke, he waved the folding fan in his hand, maintaining his current persona as a refined young master.
"Good! Friend Hong speaks straightforwardly; I enjoy conversing with straightforward people like you."
"Then it's settled."
With those words, Zhao Biao slightly clasped his hands and then approached another cultivator.
To witness this duel of magic, this man had also put in quite an effort.
Seeing Zhao Biao's actions, Liu Yu shook his head and found a place to take out his meditation cushion and sit cross-legged.
The duel of magic was set to begin tomorrow, whether he could watch it depended on how things developed.
Thinking this, he closed his eyes and feigned a light doze.
On the surface, he appeared to be resting, but in reality, he discreetly opened his hearing, gathering useful information.
The public duel of a golden core cultivator was a rare event, occurring once in a century, so many cultivators from various backgrounds came to witness it.
There were cultivators from Youzhou and Bingzhou, as well as those from other states in Yan Country and nearby nations.
However, most of the cultivators attending such an event were at the foundation establishment stage, with very few being golden core cultivators, and none had been seen yet.
If a golden core master wanted to hide, those of lesser cultivation would not be able to discover them.
