"I am Feng Ge, the imperial son of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Greetings, fair ladies."
Feng Ge appeared in front of the two women, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.
"What brings you here, Young Master Feng?"
You Rongqingyan asked in a languid voice.
Feng Ge, being rather guileless, said directly, "Ladies, I would like to have a friendly spar with Brother Chi Yuan. Would you be so kind as to introduce me?"
You Rong Qingyan narrowed her beautiful eyes, looking at Feng Ge thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that your Heavenly Phoenix Clan is very secretive about information."
Feng Ge was puzzled by these words and asked, "What do you mean by that, Fairy?"
"It's nothing. I won't stop you from sparring with the young master, but you'd better be prepared to get beaten up. The young master is not someone you can easily bully."
You Rongqingyan said calmly.
"Really? Then I'll really have to see if he can beat me up!"
Feng Ge showed disdain. He was the imperial son of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, with the cultivation of the seventh level of the Spirit Sect and the combat power close to that of a half-step Venerable. How could Rong Qingyan say that he would be beaten by Chi Yuan, who was at the peak of the Spirit Emperor?
That's a joke!
Do you think the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is some kind of country bumpkin?
This woman has absolutely no idea about his abilities!
...
Guigu Jue Di is located near the heart of the region.
A genius disciple of the Moon Reflection Sect at the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm is engaged in a fierce battle with a Rakshasa Ghost King at the initial stage of the Spirit Sect realm.
Because his cultivation techniques and spiritual skills were exactly what ghosts could do, Qiu Guangyu's combat strength, though barely reaching the threshold of the Spirit Sect, completely overwhelmed the Rakshasa Ghost King. After a fierce battle, it seemed he was about to kill it.
Qiu Guangyu felt a surge of anticipation. He detected a rather strong spiritual energy fluctuation on the Ghost King, and if all went as expected, killing it should yield some good treasures.
Sizzle!
Just as Qiu Guangyu was about to kill the Rakshasa Demon King, a terrifying sword aura containing an aura of death suddenly swept past from the side, instantly splitting the Rakshasa Demon King in two and killing it on the spot.
Qiu Guangyu's expression suddenly changed. He had fought for so long and was almost able to kill the Ghost King, only to have it stolen by someone else?!
"Who did this?!"
Qiu Guangyu's face flushed red. He roared and looked behind him, whereupon a young man with a cold face and an aura of annihilating sword intent appeared.
The sacred land of Cangming, the tomb of Emperor Li Cangling!
Qiu Guangyu's pupils contracted, and his mood sank to the bottom. If it were a Spirit Master from his own sect, he could call on others to settle the score, but the other party was the Imperial Prince of the Holy Land. How could he afford to offend him?
"I did it, do you have a problem with that?"
Li Cangling glanced at Qiu Guangyu as if he were an ant, then reached out and took the treasure dropped by the Ghost King into his hand, raising the corner of his mouth slightly and saying, "A low-grade sixth-rank pill, not bad."
This is... a Six-Turn Profound Yang Pill?
Qiu Guangyu's eyes turned red when he saw the pill. The properties of this pill were perfectly matched with his cultivation technique. If he had the help of this pill, his chances of breaking through to the Spirit Sect would be at least 50%. But now it had been snatched away by Li Cangling. He was so angry!
"Your Excellency is a prince of the Holy Land, yet you engage in such acts of plunder. Isn't that beneath your dignity?"
Qiu Guangyu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.
"I killed this ghost, so the reward should naturally belong to me. How can you say it was looting?"
Li Cangling shrugged.
"I discovered this first! I fought this fiend for a long time and was about to kill it, but you interfered. What is this if not robbery? Does the Holy Land's imperial son think he can bully others like this?"
Qiu Guangyu retorted indignantly.
Watch your words!
A dangerous glint flashed in Li Cangling's eyes, and he sneered, "Does this trial stipulate that you can't snatch things? If you're not as skilled as others, who can you blame? If you're so capable, you can snatch it back, or have your sect elders snatch it. I'm always ready to oblige!"
Having said that, Li Cangling ignored Qiu Guangyu and continued searching for treasure at the next location with his divine sense.
Qiu Guangyu was so angry he felt like spitting blood, but he was helpless. What good would it do to bring in his elders? The entire Yingyue Sect couldn't afford to offend such a behemoth as the Cangming Holy Land. Even if they could take it back, who would dare to do so?
On the other side, Li Cangling seemed to have taken a liking to snatching opportunities from others, specifically targeting those lone Spirit Emperor disciples. Seeing their exasperated yet helpless expressions filled him with immense pleasure, finally finding some amusement in this tedious trial.
Those disciples whose opportunities were stolen were all furious. Although the trial did not stipulate that one could not steal the opportunities of others, in the past, those who participated in the trial were all members of the sect. In order to avoid incurring public wrath and becoming the target of public criticism, the major peaks and pavilions had long had a tacit agreement that one could not steal the opportunities of others.
However, this rule only applies to members of the same sect. Li Cangling is neither a disciple of the Yingyue Sect nor from the Cangming Holy Land, so he is not afraid of offending anyone. Therefore, this rule does not apply to Li Cangling.
"What should we do? Are we just supposed to swallow our anger and keep quiet?"
Xu Jingyuan, a true disciple of Longyue Pavilion, looked unwilling.
The Spirit Emperor realm has limited activity area on the sixth level. It's considered lucky if he can find even one opportunity. Now that it's been snatched away, where is he supposed to find the next one?
"What else can we do but swallow our anger?"
Qiu Guangyu's chest was filled with resentment, but his tone was weak, and he had already begun to consider withdrawing from the trial.
Li Cangling, that scoundrel, robs anyone he sees. Even if he finds another opportunity, it will most likely be snatched away again. So why bother looking for it? Rather than continuing to suffer, it's better to leave sooner rather than later. Anyway, the last level has nothing to do with them, the Spirit Emperor level.
Xu Jingyuan and the other three were dejected upon hearing this. The sixth floor was the only place where they could obtain treasures of the sect level, and they were counting on making a fortune here. Now they were going to leave empty-handed. How could they be willing to accept this?
Those damned geniuses from the Holy Land!
The crowd clenched their fists in humiliation and resentment. Because of Li Cangling's evil deeds, they also hated the other geniuses of the holy lands. After all, before the trial, these high and mighty geniuses of the holy lands had forced Chi Yuan to prove his innocence. They were probably just like Li Cangling, so they had reason to hate him because of him.
"Look, it's Fu Feng... Uncle-Master Fu Feng."
At this moment, someone pointed in the direction of the Ghost Valley Forbidden Land, where a young couple was flying over at a leisurely pace; it was Chi Yuan and You Rong Qingxian.
Upon seeing this, the five people stepped forward and greeted the two with the respect due to disciples.
“Uncle-Master Fufeng, I know many people suspect that you have been possessed by a demonic cultivator, especially those geniuses from the holy lands who can’t stand seeing others stronger than them. But not everyone doubts you. At least I believe in you!”
Qiu Guangyu said earnestly that he had not intended to ask Chi Yuan to help him retrieve the pills; he simply wanted to establish a good relationship so that his trip to the sixth level would not have been in vain.
"Uncle-Master Fufeng, I believe in you too."
"Me too!"
“Those geniuses from the holy lands are all scoundrels! They speak so righteously, asking you, Martial Uncle, to prove your innocence, but everyone knows they are coveting your opportunities.”
"That's right, Uncle-Master, you must not do as they wish, or it will surely bring you great disaster!"
