Chapter 104: Replace the crystal piece hidden under the Taoist robe, for her...
Xu Lian was injured and unable to use his spiritual power. After shouting that, Zhou Su, who was accompanying him, had to fly over on a sword to stop Chen Tian.
The Baihong Sword, carrying spiritual power, penetrated the spell-cast talisman paper and nailed it to Chen Tian's feet. At the same time, Song Xinghe, who had already sat down, quickly crossed the crowd and stood in front of Chen Tian.
Chen Tian didn't expect that his action, which he thought was covert, was discovered by more than one person. He was stunned for a moment, and instinctively put the silver needles in his hand back into his sleeve.
The Tianyan disciples gathered nearby noticed the commotion here, and their attention, which had originally been attracted by the situation on the stage, was finally temporarily diverted here.
Countless eyes looked at him, making Chen Tian furious and panicked. He could only muster up his courage and glared, "Of course I'm here to watch the competition. But you, what are you doing blocking my way? I was just punished once, and now it's over. Can't I even watch the ceremony?"
Xu Lian arrived slowly, and just now she came up to him. Upon hearing what he said, she displayed her usual arrogant and sarcastic attitude and sneered.
"If you were just watching the Dharma Assembly, that would be fine. But Brother Chen, you're not just watching the Dharma Assembly; you're actually harming a fellow disciple."
She didn't raise her voice intentionally, but because many people around were paying attention to her, they all heard it and immediately began to discuss it in low voices in confusion.
"Chen Tian from Taiqing Peak? He seems like someone who can do it."
"Really? They're from the same sect. I can't believe someone in Tianyan would be like this."
"It would be really embarrassing if the people from Taixu Sect and Wuding Sect heard this!"
"With so many people here today, how could we possibly keep it a secret?"
Chen Tian was furious and panicked, and retorted arrogantly: "You, you still remember that I am your senior brother? How could you treat your senior brother so rudely! When did I ever hurt my fellow disciples? Don't slander me!"
Song Xinghe didn't say anything, but pulled out the Baihong Sword that was stuck diagonally in the ground, and took off the expired talisman paper in front of him.
Now, they all saw clearly that it was just an ordinary talisman paper. This kind of talisman paper could be used to break any restrictions set up to prevent people from being disturbed. It didn't mean anything.
Chen Tian obviously knew this as well, and immediately revealed a sinister and smug smile: "Why, is there any problem with this?"
One would have thought that the three of them would show annoyance on their faces, but Xu Lian remained calm. She lowered her voice and squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Back hall."
Chen Tian's face suddenly turned pale.
At the same time, on the circular trial platform, Mu Fuyun was still sitting behind the red line, trying hard to regulate his breathing and stabilize his realm.
The thick clouds on the horizon rolled over and stopped above where she was, continuing to absorb the surrounding mist and clouds, becoming thicker and thicker.
"Advance again!?" Hongying was standing next to the trial platform. He was closest to it and could see it most clearly. He couldn't help but scream in shock.
"Mu Fuyun has advanced again!"
"Did she poke the spiritual vein? What kind of speed is this! I'm afraid even the Taoist Master Lingshan back then wasn't this fast!"
Everyone was amazed and stunned by the sudden change before their eyes.
Xiao Yan stood beside Hongying, shaking his head with a dull look in his eyes. "What a sin! Don't you think it's destined by heaven? Fuyun and Liang Huailian competed twice, and he advanced twice. Liang Huailian... is very lucky for our Fuyun!"
Liang Huailian: "...Do you think you speak softly?"
Xiao Yan covered his mouth with his hand, knowing that he had said something wrong again and was afraid of offending Liang Huailian again.
But at this time, even if she wanted to, she was powerless.
He was holding on with all his might on the field just now, and now he braked halfway, as if all his breath was lost. He swayed for a moment after the red line and fell down.
The moment her back touched the stone, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Mu Fuyu who was not far away.
It’s really... fate!
She closed her eyes, feeling a surge of annoyance. Did she have a pair of blessed hands? In just two matches, she had already let her opponent advance twice!
Even Liang Daoheng in the stands secretly punched his palm to express his regret.
At this moment, he and his daughter doubted themselves. Could it be that his enthusiastic encouragement was directed at the wrong person?
Only Mu Fuyun himself knew that this time, it might not be a breakthrough in realm.
This time, her Qi Sea was too dry, and she had just advanced two levels from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage. It was not as stable as those who had practiced for several years or even decades to break through.
On the surface, the natural phenomenon was a sign of a breakthrough, but she knew that if she was not careful, the building she had just built might collapse, and all her previous efforts would be wasted.
At this time, she had to concentrate completely and not be distracted at all.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at her, wanting to see what the outcome would be, but at the same time they noticed movement near the bamboo forest behind them.
"You are slandering me!" Chen Tian was so frightened that he spoke without thinking. He stared at Xu Lian with his eyes, and quickly exerted force with his hands hidden in his sleeves, trying to crush the silver needle that he had not thrown out before.
Song Xinghe stepped forward quickly and grabbed his wrist.
Without using any spiritual power, relying solely on brute force, he was forced to raise his hand weakly.
Several silver needles fell to the ground, making a very slight noise, but many people could hear and see it clearly.
Judging from the thickness, length and width of those silver needles, they were obviously used by medical practitioners to pierce the blood vessels of monks, either to seal or unseal. In short, they were not as ordinary as the talisman paper, and were simply irrefutable.
Zhou Su frowned and said, "Brother Chen, I saw it all just now. You threw it towards Mu Fuyun, so don't quibble."
"It's her!" In panic, Chen Tian instinctively wanted to shift the blame to someone else, "It was she who made me—"
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand covered his mouth. His face turned red with anxiety, but he couldn't say a word.
More and more people are paying attention to the situation here.
During a competition, such an unexpected change suddenly occurred, making them not know whether to watch the advancement on the stage or the confrontation below.
Song Xinghe stood where he was, staring at Chen Tian, wanting to hear him say that name.
The knife hanging over my heart was about to fall, but Qi Yuanbai's old and serious voice came to my ears.
"Today is a Dharma Assembly, and all the sects and schools are here. Don't make things worse here."
In one sentence, the master's attitude was revealed.
Song Xinghe closed his eyes, suppressing the anger and grief in his heart. He turned around and glanced at Mu Fuyun who was still on the stage. He gritted his teeth and whispered to Xu Lian and the others, "Go to the back hall."
Several people then took Chen Tian and left the trial field on their swords.
When everyone saw that the excitement on this side was gone, they couldn't help but feel disappointed and had to turn all their attention back to Mu Fuyun.
In the stands, it goes without saying that several sect leaders and elders could naturally guess that it was Qi Yuanbai who instructed Song Xinghe to take the person away first.
After all, family disgrace should not be made public. In such an occasion, it is really inappropriate to cause internal strife and intentional harm among one's own disciples.
Liang Daoheng, who had been feeling extremely frustrated, found an opportunity to vent his frustration and couldn't help but say, "It seems that things inside Tianyan aren't as peaceful as they appear on the surface."
Master Hongmeng smiled and stroked his beard, neither agreeing nor refuting.
Qi Yuanbai coughed twice and said calmly, "Tianyan is not a small sect. It's a big place, so there will always be some surprises."
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Elder Qin.
Elder Qin knew that it was his disciple who caused the trouble, so no matter how much he wanted to protect him, he could not say anything in front of so many people. He could only sit aside with a stern face and lowered eyes, not saying a word.
Jiang Hanqiu ignored the undercurrent between them and just looked at Mu Fuyun below. Seeing that she looked a little weak, he quickly signaled to Yun Ni and the others to form a formation around Mu Fuyun to prevent her from being disturbed by the surrounding affairs.
She already cared about her disciples, and since she had previously accepted Xie Hanyi's request, she naturally had to take responsibility.
Liang Daoheng looked at the situation and rolled his eyes. He suggested, "It's rare to see someone suddenly advance during a competition. In my opinion, this competition can't go on for now. Why not stop here for today? We can continue the rest of the competition tomorrow."
He said this not for Mu Fuyun, but for his daughter Liang Huailian and his disciple Xu Qinyi. One more day of rest means one more chance of winning.
True Man Hongmeng stood on Liang Huailian's side and would not object.
Qi Yuanbai had this intention, so he said, "Since that's the case, then let's do as Sect Leader Liang says."
Soon, the news spread and the disciples who were watching the game were very disappointed. They should have dispersed, but they kept looking back in the direction of Mu Fuyun.
Thunderclouds were circling above her head. Yun Ni and the others formed a circle around her, sat cross-legged, and blocked out the noise for her.
However, this time, she was too tired to go to the thunder-dispelling stone formation in Xizhao Pavilion.
I can only rely on myself to get through it.
"Mu Fuyun, hold on for me." Zhan Yao stood by without moving, repeating these words silently in her heart, and quietly clenched her hands hanging by her side.
Besides her, many others were worried about this.
At this moment, the rolling thick clouds were split in half by a dazzling golden light, like a sharp knife of light. Immediately afterwards, there was earth-shaking thunder, which wrapped around each other and struck towards Mu Fuyun's head.
"ah!"
The disciples were all stunned. Some of them even covered their eyes with their hands, unable to bear it and dared not look at the scene.
Even Mu Fuyun's consciousness became blurred for a moment.
She thought that she was too tired and her body was on the edge of its limit, and she was probably in great danger.
Unexpectedly, apart from the initial numbness and pain that hit my heart, the expected collapse did not come.
Once, twice, it happened all the time.
Could it be that someone has found a magic weapon to block lightning?
She couldn't help but open her eyes to see what was going on.
A faint, white mist was rising from his chest and quickly dissipated into the air.
It was the piece of crystal hidden under the Taoist robe that suffered for her.
