Chapter 228 Yu Xuan's Dilemma

As soon as the group from Peach Blossom Valley arrived at the preparation area, they were told to go on stage to draw lots. Ming Cang gestured to Nan Muyin, and then walked up to the stage with practiced ease.

Xiao Huan was extremely nervous, almost kneeling down and pleading, "Senior Brother, please draw a blank lot!"

"Try your best."

Everyone couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, as the eldest brother had never had much luck and the chance of drawing an empty lot was almost zero.

Sure enough, a short while later, Nan Muyin walked back from the stage, touched her nose and smiled, "I drew the Xuanwu Palace."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huan looked disappointed. Although everyone was somewhat prepared, their expressions still became serious. This meant that they would have to fight two more matches before they could have the final arena battle.

They are outnumbered and have no replacements. If anyone gets injured or their spiritual energy is depleted, it will be extremely detrimental to their subsequent matches.

Shortly after, the elder judge on the platform, having finished his preparations, announced the results of the second round of group assignments—

"In the first group, Peach Blossom Valley will face Xuanwu Palace; in the second group, Battle Sect will face Illusionary Sound Sect."

"The Tianfeng Sect got a bye this time and directly entered the top three."

"First group of participants, please get ready. The competition will begin in fifteen minutes!"

Yu Qianling was extremely excited at this moment, laughing and waving to Yu Xuan in the distance, "Yu Xuan! We've finally faced off!"

The disciples of Xuanwu Palace naturally heard this as well, and their faces showed embarrassment.

Ever since Yu Qianling spent a few days at Xuanwu Palace, they had all been deeply impressed by this warlike woman. They couldn't help but sigh; it seemed a fierce battle was about to ensue.

Yu Xuan stared at her without replying, his expression complicated as he clenched his fists. He used to think Yu Qianling was a worthy opponent, and it was also to eliminate the demons in his heart that he looked forward to fighting her.

But now, his state of mind is different...

"Xiao Xuan."

Mu Tai naturally saw through his thoughts, and sat upright in his chair, saying seriously, "Don't forget, you are not only a disciple of Xuanwu Palace, but also the future master of Xuanhu Palace. Love between men and women is important, but the overall situation must be taken into account."

"Your father sent you to the mortal realm to gain experience, and I don't want you to go back empty-handed, do you understand?"

Yu Xuan looked at his master beside him and nodded solemnly, saying, "Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

A quarter of an hour later, the male cultivator from Xuanwu Palace jumped onto the stage. Ming Cang saw that his cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so after thinking for a moment, he said to the person behind him, "Ruyan, you go first."

Lan Ruyan was stunned for a moment, "Me?"

"The other party is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. You should go and try it out as a training exercise."

"Yes." Lan Ruyan responded and flew onto the stage, bowing to the disciple opposite her, "Peach Blossom Valley, Lan Ruyan."

"Xuanwu Palace, Hua Yansheng, fellow Daoist, be careful!"

As soon as Hua Yansheng finished speaking, he held the long sword in his hand and used a strange movement technique to kill her in an instant.

Lan Ruyan was greatly alarmed and hurriedly summoned a sword, quickly engaging him in combat. Immediately, the sound of "clanging" rang out, accompanied by dazzling firelight.

"Sect Leader, can Junior Sister win?" Bai Wan asked nervously, looking at the stage.

"It might be difficult. She lacks experience in matches and might not last a quarter of an hour. You should prepare to go in and take her place."

"yes."

As Ming Cang predicted, Lan Ruyan was knocked off the stage in no time.

Seeing this, Bai Wan stepped forward to help her up and slowly walked back to the Peach Blossom Valley's preparation area. Lan Ruyan looked at everyone, her eyes reddening, "I'm...I'm sorry...I couldn't win..."

Ming Cang smiled and said, "It's alright, just do your best. Please sit down."

"Um……"

Yu Xian'er stepped forward to check her pulse, took out two pills and gave them to her, saying softly, "It's alright, don't cry anymore."

A resolute look appeared in Bai Wan's eyes. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew onto the arena, saying, "Peach Blossom Valley, Bai Wan."

As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned a flying sword and attacked. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged several blows, and for a time the two were evenly matched.

Bai Wan quickly formed a magic seal, and the flying sword instantly transformed into several flying swords, all heading towards Hua Yansheng on the opposite side.

Under this fierce attack, he was overwhelmed and forced to step down, thus suffering defeat.

"I didn't expect that even she could successfully establish her foundation. Could it be that Peach Blossom Valley really has some kind of cultivation secret?" a male cultivator from the Qingyang Sect exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you know her?" a female cultivator asked, her tone tinged with a hint of jealousy.

"I don't know her... I just had a slight grudge against her back in the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Mansion, so I have some impression of her."

"The Swallow Feather Fractal Sword! Interesting...really interesting!" Bai Ruoqian suddenly crushed the teacup in her hand, startling everyone around her.

Su Yuyuan looked puzzled, stepped forward to tidy her up, and said, "He's just a small fry, why get angry? It's not worth it at all."

Bai Ruoqian ignored him, her gaze fixed on Bai Wan, a smile on her face as she sneered, "You're right, they're all worthless bastards, I'm going to rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Junior Sister, let your senior brother go with you."

Bai Ruoqian glanced at him, a captivating smile playing on her lips. "Then let's go."

Watching the two leave, Lü Xuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of confusion as she asked, "Hey, where are Senior Brother and Junior Sister going? They have a competition later!"

Fu Zhenghan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Let them go. Call them over later."

"Oh..." Lu Xuan ate the pastries on the table, her face full of envy as she muttered softly, "Sigh, their relationship is so good. Senior brother brings junior sister a midnight snack every night, but he has never brought me one..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shen's expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he looked into the distance. At this moment, the sudden exclamations around him pulled him back to reality.

He looked at the arena, where, following Bai Wan, Jian Yu was also knocked off the stage. A disciple of Xuanwu Palace had defeated two people in a row, which excited the other disciples of Xuanwu Palace.

"Xiao Huan, it's your turn to go on stage." Ming Cang grabbed Xiao Huan and threw him onto the stage, giving him no chance to "escape to the bathroom".

This scene left everyone speechless for a moment, and then they burst into laughter.

Xiao Huan scrambled to his feet in a fluster, glancing nervously at the viewing area before bowing to the Xuanwu Palace disciples opposite him and saying, "Peach Blossom Valley, Xiao... Xiao..."

"Alright, with your cowardly appearance, you'd better get off the stage now to avoid embarrassing yourself later." The male cultivator from Xuanwu Palace had a look of disdain on his face.

"Hehe, I'd like to..." Xiao Huan chuckled dryly, bending over. "Then, let's hurry up and finish this quickly so we can call it a day."

"Hmph, fine, this is really exhausting." The male cultivator was full of arrogance, using his fingertips to control his flying sword to attack, but at this moment he lost his target.

Xiao Huan disappeared.
