How could he not see that Bai Langfei had clearly backed down but was still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat? So he asked Qiu Chuji to give him a way out. Otherwise, how could he have immediately jumped on the bandwagon as soon as Qiu Chuji spoke?
"Young friend Boyang, it's only been a short time since we last met, and I didn't expect your skills to have improved so much. Congratulations!"
When Qiu Chuji saw Li Boyang make his move, a hint of joy flashed across his face. He realized that Li Boyang's strength had broken through to a new level.
"It was just luck. As for Master Qiu, your condition is..."
Qiu Chuji's condition was not bad; in fact, it was better than Li Boyang had ever seen him in. This was what worried him the most, and it only proved one thing.
Qiu Chuji was experiencing a final burst of energy before death. He had already taken the pills made from the Linglong Grass, and although he had regained his peak combat strength, he was truly not far from his demise.
"Life and death are preordained, young friend Boyang, there is no need to worry."
Qiu Chuji knew that Li Boyang had figured it out. Indeed, in his current state, he could only hold on for three more days at most. If he couldn't kill Shi Le Jizu after three days, he would be powerless to save the day.
“Young friend Boyang, this is Chen Yun, the head of the Tianshan Sect, this is Wu Bingyun, the Sword King, and this is Master Yunhe.”
Qiu Chuji pointed to three figures that Li Boyang did not recognize and introduced them.
Seeing the three nod at him, Li Boyang also politely said:
"I've heard so much about you."
After Qiu Chuji finished his introduction, he continued:
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin."
"The reason I invited everyone here today is to talk about the experts on Meng Yuan's side, and at the same time, to discuss how to deal with them."
Qiu Chuji didn't call everyone here to start a fight immediately. Instead, he wanted to introduce the top figures in the Mengyuan martial arts world and discuss each person's opponent.
"Chief Bai, you're the one who gathered all the intelligence, so you should speak."
The Beggars' Sect has disciples scattered throughout the country, making it arguably the most capable intelligence-gathering group. Therefore, the intelligence for this operation was primarily provided by the Beggars' Sect.
"Then I'll take the challenge without hesitation."
Bai Shijing took out several scrolls of portraits that he had prepared beforehand and hung them in front of everyone.
"If our Beggars' Sect's intelligence is correct, there are currently about ten Mongol martial arts masters hiding in the palace."
The Beggars' Sect leader pointed to one of the portraits and said:
"The strongest one goes without saying, it is Shi Le Jizu, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who has reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Among those present, I am afraid that no one except Master Qiu is his match."
“I will naturally deal with Shi Le Jizu. Chief Bai can say that the others are fine.”
No one cares about this. This is the only Mongol master who is beyond discussion. Shi Le Jizu is the only master among the Mongol masters who has achieved the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. Only Qiu Chuji can deal with him. Anyone else but Qiu Chuji will be defeated.
"Besides Qiu Chuji, there are two other strong figures in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty: one is the Night Demon of the Snow Crystal Palace, and the other is Chi Bilie of the Temple of the Sun."
Chi Bilie is Li Boyang's old rival, and he knows how difficult he is to deal with. Even now that he has broken through to the Qi Refining Mist stage, he can't guarantee whether he can beat Chi Bilie. He will only know after they fight.
Li Boyang still had some recollection of the Night Demon. In the original Wudang world, there was an incident where Zhang Junbao went to the Night Demon Cave of the Snow Crystal Palace to steal the Snow Silkworm.
As a result, Zhang Junbao was discovered by the Night Demon and was chased by him without any power to fight back. In the end, Qiu Chuji intervened and saved Zhang Junbao. This shows that the Night Demon was also a powerful person, no less than Chi Bilie.
To survive Qiu Chuji's attack, one must at least be at the Qi Refining to Mist stage.
Seeing this, Qiu Chuji said, "Chief Bai, who do you think can take on these two?"
Bai Yujing paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I can only deal with one of them. You can figure out the rest yourselves."
These two were clearly very troublesome. As soon as Bai Yujing, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, finished speaking, everyone else frowned and no one responded.
Clearly, they all felt that facing these two people was a bit risky, so they all chose to remain silent.
Aside from Qiu Chuji, who was destined to face Shi Le, the greatest expert of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Junbao, who had recently broken through to the Qi Refining Realm, and Bai Langfei, the master of Peach Blossom Island, whom they had already fought, Li Boyang knew nothing about the strength of the others around the campfire.
However, one can roughly judge a person's strength or weakness from the choice of their opponent.
For example, Bai Yujing, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, dared to accept either Chi Bilie or the Night Demon, which means that his strength is no less than that of his opponent.
The others all frowned, clearly unsure of how to deal with the two, which meant that Bai Yujing was probably the second strongest person present, after Qiu Chuji, assuming they weren't even there.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Qiu Chuji asked again:
"Chief Bai is a man of noble character, which I admire. There is another person among us, fellow practitioners, who is confident in his ability to succeed?"

Chapter 143 On the Eve of the Great Battle
As soon as Qiu Chuji finished speaking, everyone turned to look at their fellow practitioners on the left and right, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, Qixiazi, the leader of the Kongtong Sect, slowly said:
“Master Wuyun, the Emei Sect’s Extinction Sword Style and Absolute Sword Style are unparalleled in the martial arts world. Why don’t you be the one to resist Chi Bilie?”
The two had clashed over the selection of a supporter for the prayer meeting, so Qixiazi directly nominated Abbess Wuyun.
The Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Wuyun, gave a cold laugh and said stiffly:
"Old man Qi, your Seven Injury Fist is quite famous in the martial arts world, why don't you go and fight it yourself?"
He knew his own limitations. Although he had never fought Chi Bilie, he knew that Chi Bilie dared to challenge Qiu Chuji, and he was aware of Qiu Chuji's strength.
