Mustika Naga's
Suspicions

The disciple was part of Chang Gui's accomplice, he simply wanted to get rid of Long Guan with the bone-squeezing poison. The effect is not directly, but will gradually be felt when the accumulation of sufficient amount and time.

In the end, the competition between Sects would only be the grave of Long Guan. One of the rules states that participants are not prohibited from committing murder as long as it is possible. The presence of Long Guan had indeed been awaited by Chang Gui for a long time, since the Wang Family was annihilated there was a share of Long Guan in the event. As for the Star Sword Sect, he would take care of it at a later date. Without him having to go to Long Guan, a good opportunity came with him. Long Guan only ushered in his death.

When dealing with Wang Yushan in Dengfeng City, Long Guan found out that he had a teacher named Chang Gui. As a senior Elder, it was certainly not difficult for Long Guan to know about the identity of the person. According to Long Guan, knowing the enemy well is thirty percent of the determinants of victory on the battlefield.

Before leaving for the Eternal Peak Sect, Long Guan had noticed things that could endanger him. The concern of the Sect Chief, Chan Fan towards the attitude of the Elders of the Eternal Peak Sect was well-founded. Through a brief memory, Long Guan began to understand the reason he was included in the competition between Sects.

"Tokay! Geck!" there was a knocking on the door.

Long Guan who was at the resting place immediately came out, the room given by the Eternal Peak Sect was indeed quite spacious. Each room is reserved for each student, and get a special service.

"Excuse me, I'm about to deliver a banquet to eat" said a young man wearing the uniform of the Eternal Peak Sect.

"Please enter" Long Guan said politely.

The student then entered and placed the dish on the table neatly. He worked with professionals, at first glance no one would suspect him if he had bad intentions towards Long Guan.

After he finished doing his duty, he immediately withdrew and passed leaving Long Guan.

Each participant received the same treatment, this was the standard of service provided by the Sect organizers. After the disciple left, Long Guan immediately checked the banquet given earlier. He found some snacks and tea that was still warm.

He carefully checked the food and drink he had just served. With the methods he had learned from the Book of Medicinal Kings, it was not difficult for him to detect an irregularity. At the moment he doesn't want to be careless, being careful is certainly better.

Long Guan's guess did not miss, what he was worried about happened. This was the territory of Elder Chang Gui, he was notoriously cunning. The food and drinks served contained a very terrible poison. At first glance it does not smell because it does not have a striking color and smell.

But the poison indicator shows if the food and drink contains toxins, it looks like bone-weak toxins. Long Guan tried to guess, in terms of poison he was indeed not very expert.

Long Guan smiled calmly, he did not let out an exaggerated expression. He will follow this game until the end. He wants to get more clues leading to a goal, who is the real mastermind and what goals will be achieved.

The competition was still running for three more days, only the Star Sword Sect had arrived earlier. Currently Long Guan was in a place similar to a dormitory, the placement was neatly arranged and each had its own room. Not much he did, occasionally he went out to chat with the other nine students. Although both came from the Star Sword Sect, Long Guan was not too close to them.

Right now was the perfect moment to get to know each other, they were all senior disciples of the Star Sword Sect. Their ages were in the range of thirty to thirty-five years. Indeed this competition was devoted to the senior disciples who had unlimited strength. From Long Guan's vision, the other nine people were Deacons.

"We all cannot possibly have hope" replied one of the senior disciples who was at the Fifth Universe realm.

"Why indeed?" asked Long Guan curiously.

"Didn't you know?" said the senior disciple with a slight frown.

"About what? after I finished my mission I was only in the Alchemy Hall making Pills and potions" Long Guan said in an explanation.

"Huh"

It was seen that the senior disciple let out a short sigh. He was named Tong Zhi the representative of the First Hill and was Chan Fan's previous disciple.

"Right now there have appeared some genius disciples in the big sects, they all have the strength of our Sect Elders" he said helplessly.

In this competition it is very cruel, I have followed him in the past period, there are always dead" said Tong Zhi.

Then his mouth started to lift back up, he slowly explained to Long Guan.

"Among the geniuses that came along, it could be said that Wu Xin was the strongest participant, he had almost reached the heavenly realm at his not yet thirty years old. Besides everyone knew, if Wu Xin was among the extremely ruthless people. Wu Xin from the Eternal Peak Sect, as the host he was rumored to have strength that was close to the Heavenly Level. His extremely mysterious strength made people reluctant to come into contact with him.

While the Ice Phoenix Goddess gained second place, she was known as Matriarch Xiu Juan's personal disciple. His strength was already at the Ninth level of the Universe, there were even rumors saying that his strength was barely far away with Wu Xin.

Not inferior to the two geniuses, this time Patriarch Meng Tian's Thunder Storm Sect Chief sent his son. Meng Gao was the best disciple in his Sect, at the age of twenty-seven he was already in the Eighth Universe realm. Even he possessed extremely deadly secret techniques, in the past few years his strength had increased by leaps and bounds"

Only the Star Sword Sect had no genius disciples, only the name Liu Xianzhong who was in the Seventh Universe realm was a mainstay. His work in the martial world began to be known since several times he carried out missions, so he was the only disciple who was rumored to be the hope of the Star Sword Sect.

As for Long Guan, no one knew him. His recent presence in the Star Sword Sect, did not make his name famous. His action of defeating the Black Cockroach Bandit on Mount Song was also not exposed, at that time he did not hide it neatly.

Only, Long Guan's name was quite familiar to Elder Chang Gui's ears, his action of wiping out the Wang Family did not escape his monitoring. Only Long Guan would pose a real threat in this inter Sect competition.

After hearing the explanation from the senior disciple, Long Guan only nodded slowly. His only concern was the Ice Phoenix Goddess named Xie Annchi, He was certain that the person in question was the same Xie Annchi, the woman Long Guan had been looking for while in the Spiritual Realm.
