Chapter 122 First Place

Ye Luo concealed her strength, catching everyone off guard. Even Bai Ruoqian, the leader, took the lead in running away, and the rest of them instantly lost their fighting spirit.

"Tsk!" Seeing that things were going badly, Shen Bi crushed the jade slip without saying a word, abandoning them and being the first to withdraw from the competition.

Su Yuyuan watched as the person beside him disappeared, cursing inwardly but helpless. He gave Yang Shen a wink, and the two of them crushed the jade slip and left the secret realm.

The remaining dozen or so disciples looked at each other for a moment, shook their heads, and chose to concede defeat, thus ending the team battle prematurely.

A short while later, Ye Luo and his group had just emerged from the secret realm when they heard deafening cheers. The scene made him momentarily think it was some kind of large-scale fan meeting.

"Wow, they're quite enthusiastic..."

So Ye Luo grinned, spread his arms and ran around the field, leaving the disciples speechless. How could there be such a shameless person?

The result of this competition was completely unexpected. Peach Blossom Valley won first place, giving those major sects a real slap in the face.

We're back!

Cen Feng waved excitedly, "Master, aren't we amazing?"

Ming Cang was beaming from ear to ear, looking at his disciples with a face full of satisfaction. "Hmm, impressive! You all did a great job, living up to the reputation of Peach Blossom Valley!"

Cen Feng chuckled: "Can I have a whole roasted lamb today?"

Eat! You can eat as much as you want!

"Yay! Yay!"

At this moment, Mingcang saw Ye Luo looking around, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Luo, thanks to you this time."

"That's right! I wiped them all out in one go, hahaha!" Ye Luo put her hands on her hips, looking a little smug, and asked, "Master, how powerful is my formation?"

"Amazing, you're the best!" Ming Cang's eyes showed affection, and tears welled up in his old eyes. "Alright, let's celebrate properly later!"

"Yay! I'm going to drink my fill!"

Yu Qianling's face was full of excitement. She pushed Ming Cang from behind and said, "Master, let's go, let's go back quickly, I can't wait!"

"Alright, alright, oh dear, you little brat, don't push your master..."

Mu Tai watched Ming Cang and the others leave, then looked at the kill leaderboard for this team battle—

Ye Luo scored 320 points;

Bai Ruoqian scored 180 points;

Yu Xuan scored 160 points;

Yu Qianling scored 120 points;

Nan Muyin scored 110 points.

Du Jiaoxi scored 99 points;

Shi Yi scored 82 points;

Cen Feng scored 74 points;

Ling Shu scored 62 points;

Ji Xuan scored 53 points;

...

Mu Tai's lips twitched involuntarily. Four of the top ten students were from Peach Blossom Valley, and Ye Luo's score in first place was simply overwhelming...

"I never expected that kid to actually be a formation cultivator. What incredible luck Ming Cang had..."

These disciples are all so outstanding that he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Oh, are you envious now?" Shangguan Lin teased from the side.

"Hmph, the pot calling the kettle black, aren't you the same?"

Shangguan Lin remained noncommittal, but sighed, "It seems that Peach Blossom Valley is on the verge of a resurgence. I suddenly feel a strange sense of anticipation."

Mu Tai stood with his hands behind his back and sighed, "Indeed, that's a blessing for the Immortal Alliance..."

At this point, all preliminary matches have concluded.

Peach Blossom Valley won first place in the preliminary round of the sect competition with a total score of 888.

The second place goes to the Tianfeng Sect;

The third place is Xuanwu Palace;

The fourth place is Qingyuemen;

The fifth place is Zhan Zong;

The sixth place is Huanyinmen;

The seventh place is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The eighth place is the Beast Taming Sect;

Ninth place is the Valley of Oblivion;

The tenth place is Qingyangmen.

...

The top ten sects will hold their final competition in Wangxian City a few months from now.

The spectators, still somewhat unsatisfied, gradually left.

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect in the arena were overjoyed to see the overall rankings on the crystal tablet.

When they were eliminated, they had given up hope of making it into the top ten, but Ling Shu managed to keep their spot.

"Junior Sister, you're amazing!"

"That's right!" Ling Shu said with her hands on her hips, looking a little smug. She added, "It's all thanks to my brother Ye for carrying me, otherwise I would have been bullied terribly! You all have to be more respectful to him from now on!"

"Hehe, that's right, that's right... How could I not listen to my junior sister!"

"By the way, junior sister, quickly release your spirit beast so we can have a look!"

Ling Shu chuckled and patted the spirit beast pouch. Two miniature golden-striped tigers and a silver-horned celestial python flew out, drawing envious glances from the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Junior Sister, how did they advance to the next level?"

"I don't know either... Maybe they have good aptitude, and they suddenly advance when the time is right!"

"..."

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect clearly did not believe it. Without a divinely bestowed opportunity or a spiritual object to assist in the advancement, it would be impossible for a spirit beast to advance, let alone two spirit beasts advancing at the same time.

"Junior Sister, stop hiding it and tell your senior brothers!"

"Really, I'm not lying to you!"

"Shu'er".

"Daddy!" Ling Shu rushed over and hugged Ling Qiu tightly. "Daddy, look at my little flower and little fire! They've both advanced!"

Ling Qiu watched them, his eyes flickering slightly, and nodded affectionately. "Alright, the competition is over now. Go back to the inn and pack your things. We'll return to the sect tomorrow."

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Ling Qiu watched everyone leave, then strolled down the street with Ling Shu. He watched her squatting at a stall fiddling with trinkets, and patted the top of her head.

"You should learn more from your sworn brother, instead of just playing all day long."

Ling Shu pouted and sighed, "Brother Ye is a cultivation fanatic, how can I compare to him?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Qiu chuckled, "Then we should get closer to him and spend more time with him. Judging from this experience, he will be a reliable older brother."

"Um!"
