Chapter 59 Is he the Masked Man?

Elder of Shuiyun Sect?

No, it doesn't seem like it.

Elder Ge of the Shuiyun Sect was a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he was a kind old man.

Elder Kong of the Crimson Flame Sect, who appears to be around forty years old and is incredibly robust, doesn't quite look like him.

Moreover, these two sect leaders accompanied the Grand Elder when he entered the Mist Camphor Forest. One person cannot be in two places simultaneously, so these two can be temporarily ruled out.

As for Elder Feng of the Golden Cloud Sect...

Ye Li scrutinized him.

Feng Jingxuan was clearly from a prestigious and righteous sect, yet he possessed a dashing and debonair appearance, often causing female disciples to fight over him.

To stop this disorder, the Grand Elder had ordered him not to speak to female disciples alone.

Lu Ziting had repeatedly warned her not to associate with Elder Feng, so she didn't have many memories of Feng Jingxuan.

At this moment, Ye Li was calmly observing Feng Jingxuan. He was wearing a crimson robe with the collar open to his chest, and his fox-like eyes made the female disciples in the front row blush.

Not only did he not care, but he also smiled and beckoned to her, "Little beauty, it's your turn. Remember not to go easy on me."

Hearing his unrestrained and dissolute manner, Chu Wei, the sect leader of Kongshan Sect, turned cold in his eyes.

Unlike Feng Jingxuan, Chu Wei was always serious and had a cold expression.

Despite his handsome appearance, no one dared to misbehave.

That's why the disciples who came to Feng Jingxuan for the assessment lined up for miles, leaving only a handful of people in front of Chu Wei.

Thinking of the sinister and terrifying masked man, Ye Li chose Chu Wei's team.

Chu Wei's assessment was extremely swift; to sum it up in one sentence, it was about taking the heaviest beating in the fastest time.

Ye Li got to the front of the line in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

She grasped her sword and bowed, saying, "Disciple Jiang Li, please enlighten me."

Chu Wei's dark eyes swept over Ye Li, his brows furrowing slightly, clearly indicating that he felt Ye Li's cultivation level was too low.

"Let's begin."

His voice was deep and somewhat similar to that of the masked man.

Ye Li was deliberately testing the waters, and she used her killer move right from the start.

Chu Wei spun around to dodge and then grabbed her with his other hand.

He had just checked and found that Ye Li had not yet drawn in Qi, so this move was already her limit.

Surprisingly, Ye Li lightly touched the ground with her toes, passed under his arm, and raised her hand to stab him in the back.

The movements were clean, swift, and decisive.

Chu Wei raised an eyebrow slightly. Excellent swordsmanship!

He was born with a sword-like spirit and was a rare dual practitioner of swordsmanship in the Tianmen Sect. Upon encountering such beautiful swordsmanship, he became interested.

Instead of using spiritual power, he sparred with Ye Li using swordsmanship.

The two attacked faster and faster, and the sound of their swords clashing attracted the attention of those around them.

Lu Ziting had just finished an assessment and looked in the direction of the noise. He was stunned by what he saw.

Ah Li?

No, it's not Ah Li, it's... Junior Sister Jiang Li?

The woman was dressed in a gray Taoist robe. Due to the long fight, her hair was slightly loose. She moved gracefully, like a dragon in flight.

Lu Ziting's gaze gradually became somewhat dazed.

Jiang Li is different from Ye Li's aloofness and Su Ying'er's coquettishness. Her mixed temperament, which is both heroic and charming, is more like a combination of the two, making his heart beat faster.

With a loud "ding," Ye Li sheathed her sword and stepped back, saying, "This disciple has lost."

Chu Wei looked at Ye Li with a hint of appreciation, noted down the score, and replied succinctly with two words, "Not bad."

Ye Li didn't think anything of it, but the disciples around her looked like they'd seen a ghost when they heard Chu Wei praise someone.

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

"Did you hear that? Elder Chu actually praised a disciple who was only a nominal disciple."

"It's like an iron tree has finally blossomed."

"However, this disciple's swordsmanship is indeed quite good."

Hearing this, Jiang Mengyao, who was in Feng Jingxuan's line, rolled her eyes. "What's the use of having good swordsmanship? He's just a useless mixed spiritual root."

Let her be smug for a while longer, she'll beat her to a pulp in no time!

On the other side, Ye Li walked a little further away before looking at Chu Wei.

When she fought Chu Wei, she did not discover the masked man's moves.

He used the techniques of the Tianmen Sect, and his aura was that of a normal Daoist cultivator.

However, Ye Li did not let her guard down.

Since he has been able to remain hidden in the Tianmen Sect for many years, he certainly won't expose himself easily.

-

The first round is over, and the second round of elimination matches is about to begin.

Each person finds an opponent within the barrier; the faster they leave the arena, the lower their score.

In order to get more points, everyone wants to pick an easy target with low cultivation level.

Ye Li, a "weakling" who hadn't yet cultivated her inner energy, was targeted the moment she entered the barrier.

But before they could even get there, Jiang Mengyao beat them to it.

Jiang Mengyao scoffed, "Jiang Li, what a small world! When you were so arrogant a few days ago, did you ever imagine that you would fall into my hands today!"

Faced with Jiang Mengyao's provocation, Ye Li remained unmoved, and was even a little puzzled as to why Jiang Mengyao was so proud of the Qi Refining stage.

Can anyone tell her what there is to be proud of in the Qi Refining stage?

When Jiang Mengyao saw that Ye Li didn't speak, she assumed that Ye Li was scared.

She snorted, "Now you're scared? Too late! I'll eliminate you first! Your father cares most about his reputation. Once you're expelled from the Heavenly Gate Sect, I'll definitely sell you and your concubine to a brothel!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Li's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Since she had used Jiang Li's body, she couldn't allow anyone to humiliate her family.

Looking at Ye Li's sudden change in temperament, Jiang Mengyao felt a chill for no reason, but she didn't take it seriously. How powerful could a mixed spiritual root without spiritual power be?

"Thump-"

Accompanied by a drumbeat.

The second round of assessments has begun.

Jiang Mengyao went all out from the start, gathering spiritual power in her hands and launching a fierce attack on Ye Li.

This move will definitely leave her half-dead!

She then took the opportunity to slash her face, so that she could never seduce Senior Brother Wen Yao again!

Jiang Mengyao felt that she was moving quickly, but in Ye Li's eyes, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, it was no different from slow motion.

She simply moved slightly to the left, and Jiang Mengyao missed her target.

He staggered a few steps and almost fell.

Jiang Mengyao missed her first attack and launched another.

Unsurprisingly, they missed their target again.

After several rounds, Ye Li barely moved, while Jiang Mengyao was drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

She pointed at Ye Li, "You bitch! Don't try to hide if you dare!"

Ye Li looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, nodded. "Okay."

Jiang Mengyao's expression was vicious, "Prepare to die!"

She used all her spiritual power.

Off the field.

Yuan Ce, who was passing by after finishing his outer sect assessment, saw this scene and snorted coldly.

She deserved to be beaten to death for refusing to give her senior sister's sword.

However, just as Jiang Mengyao was about to touch Ye Li, Ye Li moved her fingers.

Jiang Mengyao flew out in an extremely smooth parabola and crashed heavily out of the barrier.

"ah!"

Amidst screams, the scorekeeper announced, "Jiang Mengyao is out."

Jiang Mengyao was furious. "How could I be eliminated! I'm at the Qi Refining stage! I'm supposed to enter the outer sect today, what right do you have to eliminate me!"

The disciple said impatiently, "If you're not satisfied, go find the elder yourself."

"Impossible! I couldn't possibly be eliminated. That bastard must have cheated!"

"..."

Yuan Ce frowned. He had been watching her intently, but he couldn't figure out how she had made the move.

Just as he was staring at her, trying to find a flaw, Ye Li, who had finished the first round, casually sheathed her sword.

Yuan Ce, who had been watching the spectacle, was stunned when he saw Ye Li's gesture of sheathing her sword.

This is……

Senior Sister's method of sheathing her sword...

What a coincidence! Jiang Li found her senior sister's sword and she sheathed it in the same way.

Realizing something, his heart began to race.

He then stared intently at "Jiang Li's" gauntlet battle, and the more he watched, the more alarmed he became.

His swordsmanship was taught to him personally by Ye Li, and no one was more familiar with Ye Li's swordsmanship than him.

Jiang Li's moves clearly show traces of Ye Li's style!
