The real encirclement and suppression has just begun.

The next day, Yun Qian told Bai Chuan and Qin Wu everything about Li Xiang.

On that day on the Wuji Platform, Qin Wu did indeed smell that sweet and strange fragrance. However, when the incident occurred at the Li Kingdom's palace, he had not yet joined the Cangmin Mountain sect and was unaware of the fragrance's strangeness, so he was naturally unprepared.

Yun Qian casually handed the Spirit-Hidden Grass to Bai Chuan.

Although Baichuan had doubts, he did not inquire about the origin of the spiritual herb. Instead, he silently channeled his spiritual power and carefully crafted it into four small sachets, one for each person.

On the day of the final showdown of the Immortal Sect Competition, chaos erupted at Tianyan Mountain, and many disciples from various sects were injured.

However, just seven days later, Tianyan Mountain issued another announcement, claiming that it would restart the competition and complete the final contest.

Yun Qian's injuries had not yet healed. When the three of them arrived at Wuji Platform, the elders of Tianyan Mountain were already standing in the center of the platform, loudly announcing the astonishing results of the duel.

What will be the outcome of the duel?

Yun Qian frowned slightly.

That day, the demons launched a surprise attack, and a heavenly tribulation descended. The scene was in complete chaos. How could anyone determine the winner under such circumstances? Logically, the contest should have been restarted.

But Tianyan Mountain has its own set of arbitrary rules. The white-haired elder's voice boomed, each word striking a chord in everyone's heart:

"When Yunqian of Cangmin Mountain and Sifeng of Tianyan Mountain faced off, Yunqian crossed the boundary, and Sifeng won."

"Qin Wu of Cangmin Mountain and Huishan Manor, the manor is outside the boundary, Qin Wu wins."

"The Cangmin Mountain is covered with a hundred rivers, and the Qingyun Mountain is covered with a pure breeze. The hundred rivers flow beyond the boundaries, and the pure breeze prevails."

"Qingyun Mountain Zhao Yuan and Qingyun Mountain Liu Pinji have both gone out of bounds and are considered to have forfeited."

"The duel between Ji Yunxing of Qingyun Mountain and Su Qing of Tianyan Mountain is still undecided, and will continue today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Qian could hardly believe her ears.

The chaos on the Wuji Platform that day was so intense that someone actually recorded who went out of bounds.

Tianyan Mountain's actions are tantamount to treating the Immortal Sect Competition like a child's game!

Not only Yun Qian, but everyone from Qingyun Mountain and Huishan Sect looked astonished.

The first to erupt was Liu Pinji. He strode forward, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "That day, with the demons launching a sneak attack, the heavenly tribulation descending, and the Soul-Devouring Array, how could the outcome be determined in such chaos? Today, the competition should be rematched! Your arbitrary decisions are utterly unfair!"

“Exactly!” Zhao Yuan followed closely. “Tianyan Mountain disregards the safety of its disciples, yet has the leisure to record who crossed the boundary? Since everyone eventually left the Wuji Platform, why was Su Qing the only one allowed to continue the competition?”

The Immortal Sect Grand Competition is a grand event passed down for thousands of years. Even if one doesn't win the championship, achieving a good ranking is still an opportunity to make a name for oneself. They have been cultivating day and night for this battle; how could they easily accept such a hasty and unfair judgment?

However, Tianyan Mountain's arrogance was on full display at this moment. The elder didn't even lift his eyelids, his tone indifferent: "This is the unanimous decision of Tianyan Mountain, the final result. If you are not satisfied, let's fight again in a hundred years."

"What?" Zhao Yuan was so angry that she trembled all over. She was about to argue, but Ji Yunxing raised her hand to stop her.

Ji Yunxing's gaze was icy as he coldly swept across the high platform: "I hope that a hundred years from now, the Immortal Sect Grand Competition can still be held at Tianyan Mountain."

The fact that Tianyan Mountain caused such chaos during the conference and hastily restarted the competition without giving the various factions a chance to rest is such an act that it will probably be difficult for it to gain the approval of the Destiny Stone a hundred years from now.

Heaven's justice is clear and will prevail.

Yun Qian didn't care much about the result. Victory or defeat was irrelevant to her anyway.

It's a pity that we couldn't take this opportunity to completely resolve the Sifeng issue.

The duel resumed, with Ji Yunxing and Su Qing taking the stage simultaneously.

Perhaps enraged by Tianyan Mountain's actions, Ji Yunxing's sword strikes were even more ferocious than usual. As a magic cultivator, Su Qing was completely powerless to defend herself. Before she could even set up an array, she was cleaved out of the boundary by a single sword strike and fell unconscious.

Ji Yunxing stood alone in the center of the Wuji Platform, his face as cold as frost: "In the Immortal Sect Competition, deaths and injuries are not considered. Surely Tianyan Mountain won't disqualify me just because I injured your sect's disciple?"

These words were extremely sarcastic, but Tianyanshan's skin was as thick as a city wall, and he remained completely unmoved. This "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude only fueled the anger.

Yun Qian watched from the sidelines with her arms crossed, recalling the vibrant youthful spirit Ji Yunxing displayed when they first met at the foot of Tianyan Mountain half a year ago. In just six months, he had transformed into a composed and aloof individual.

People must experience injustice and hardship in order to truly grow.

Yun Qian gently closed her eyes. Her body, which had been injured by the heavenly tribulation, was still not fully recovered, and she felt weak after standing for only a short while.

On that day, Yun Qian truly went all out against Si Feng. If Qin Wu hadn't encountered an unexpected situation, Si Feng would have undoubtedly died. Even if he had miraculously survived, with his inner core shattered, he would have no chance of pursuing immortality, let alone continuing to compete.

Therefore, in the end, only Qin Wu and Ji Yunxing remained to compete for the championship.

Before Qin Wu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Ji Yunxing might have been able to put up a fight. But now, the outcome is no longer in doubt.

Qin Wu held the Su Tian in his hand, standing as still as a pine tree.

Ji Yunxing twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile: "Brother Qin, please give me your guidance."

A century later, the Azure Cloud Sword Technique and the Azure Min Sword Technique clashed once again. The duel between the two best of the immortal sects drew the attention of the crowd below.

Yun Qian carefully observed Ji Yunxing's sword moves, and each move was highly skilled, indicating that he had never slacked off in the slightest.

However, under the absolute suppression of his realm, Ji Yunxing ultimately had no power to fight back.

Just as described in the original book, Qin Wu easily won the championship of the Immortal Sect Grand Competition.

Ji Yunxing accepted his defeat wholeheartedly. He stood up, took his sword, and smiled slightly at Qin Wu: "After I go back and cultivate some more, I will come back to compete with you again."

"I'll wait for you," Qin Wu said calmly.

The once-in-a-century Immortal Sect Grand Competition has finally come to an end, with Qin Wu of Cangmin Mountain taking the top spot.

Although Cangmin Mountain has lived in seclusion for many years, its splendor remains undiminished. Qin Wu's Cangmin swordsmanship, displayed on the Wuji Platform, was incomparably sharp, surpassing even the Cangmin disciples of its heyday hundreds of years ago. Everyone tacitly agreed: this young man is indeed a prodigy.

However, the title of champion in the Immortal Sect Competition is ultimately just an empty name. The true revival of Cangmin Mountain cannot be achieved by a single competition.

This Immortal Sect Grand Competition is ultimately just a stage for the younger generation.

Yun Qian raised her eyes and looked at Si Li's hypocritical smiling face on the jade platform hanging high above.

She knew perfectly well that the real crackdown was only just beginning.

The disciples of Cangmin Mountain had not been seen for a hundred years, yet they easily won the championship of the Immortal Sect Competition upon their reappearance. How could this not arouse suspicion?

Is there really a secret technique hidden in Cangmin Mountain that can dramatically increase one's cultivation level?

What will these people do next?
