Pei Lang's fox-like eyes, like black gemstones, were curved in a smile. He put one hand on his hip and held the round, broken-mirror pill he had just received in the other, deliberately twirling it between his fingers. The sunlight shone on the pill, reflecting an alluring halo.
"Ouch~"
"Isn't this the Tianyan Sect, the leader of the righteous path in our Lingzhou, with abundant resources and a profound foundation?!"
"What, just standing here admiring the scenery?"
"Oh~~"
At this point, Pei Lang deliberately feigned sudden realization, his smile becoming even more wicked: "You were so indignant just now, pointing your finger at Shen Zhaozhao and cursing her. Now that the city lord is giving away Breakthrough Pills for her sake, you're getting greedy? Your eyes are practically popping out of your sockets? Too embarrassed to accept them?"
He held the Mirror-Breaking Pill in his hand and deliberately waved it under the nose of the nearest male disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, letting the pill's fragrance waft out: "Isn't it supposed to be a top sect in Lingzhou? Aren't you supposed to throw all sorts of elixirs and miraculous medicines at us like they're free spirit stones?"
"What, so your sect leader only smashed that good-for-nothing, but didn't smash a few of you 'pillars of the family' too?"
"Oh dear~ Look at you poor little things~"
Pei Lang, facing the group of Tianyan Sect disciples whose faces were ashen and who dared not speak out, made a mocking, dog-teasing sound: "Suck suck suck~"
"How about this, you all wag your tails for me, bark like dogs, and make me happy. Maybe then, I'll take pity on you and feed you this Breaking Mirror Pill?"
"Pei Lang! You've gone too far!"
"You bastard!"
The faces of the disciples of Tianyan Sect instantly turned from green to purple, and the veins on their foreheads throbbed. They wished they could draw their swords on the spot and chop this bastard into mincemeat.
But when he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't pull it out even a fraction of an inch.
beat?
Pei Lang's strength is already superior to theirs, not to mention that he has the Chixiao Sect backing him!
scold?
Shen Zhaozhao is now known as the "Immortal Lord of the Cloud Pavilion," and even the city lord kneels before her!
Yun Wan'er felt a metallic sweetness rise to her throat again, and her vision blurred.
She clenched her fists tightly, suddenly raised her head, her neck stiffened, like a drowned rat forced into a corner but still trying to maintain its pride. Her voice was shrill and distorted with extreme anger and humiliation: "Pei Lang! Don't be so arrogant here! My Tianyan Sect... my Tianyan Sect doesn't lack these Breakthrough Pills!"
Immediately, she took a deep breath, as if using all her strength to support this final declaration, her gaze sweeping over Shen Zhaozhao with deep-seated resentment: "It is you! Immortal Lord Yunji is a dignified immortal lord of the upper realm, yet you disregard the heavenly rules and wantonly interfere in the affairs of my lower realm's secret realm!"
"What do they think of the laws and principles of Heaven?!"
"We must report this matter to our sect leader, who will surely hold an altar ceremony, burn a petition, and appeal! We request that our founding ancestor of the Heavenly Evolution Sect—Immortal Lord Qingming—report this matter to the celestial venerables of the upper realm, so as to uphold the celestial laws and serve as a warning to others!"
The moment the words "Immortal Lord Qingming" were uttered, the disciples of Tianyan Sect grasped at the last straw, and their dejected spirits instantly lifted!
yes!
They also have their ancestors!
Well, although we don't know what the situation is like in the upper realm, what Junior Sister Wan'er said is intimidating and enough for them to get their revenge!
However, this newly formed bluster deflated instantly when it met Pei Lang's gaze, which looked at him as if he were an idiot.
They had some idea of their ancestor's situation in the Immortal Realm. It was rumored that he held a sinecure in the Nine Heavens, in charge of some minor document recording in the mortal realm, and his status was far less illustrious than that of Immortal Lord Yunji.
Clearly, if I continue to stand here and let Pei Lang's sharp tongue pierce through me, I might even have my last bit of dignity torn off and trampled!
"snort!"
Yun Wan'er naturally thought of this. She forced herself to maintain her last bit of "unyielding spirit," flicked her sleeve forcefully, and threw out a polite remark: "Chixiao Sect, Pei Lang! And Shen Zhaozhao... If you have the ability, wait until the elders of my Tianyan Sect come out of seclusion, and we'll see who's the real deal in our sect competition!"
Before the words were even finished, the group from Tianyan Sect seemed to have oil on their feet. With a flash of inspiration, they darted away faster than startled rabbits, transforming into several streaks of light and fleeing in panic without looking back!
The speed was as if they were afraid that if they slowed down even for a moment, Pei Lang would catch up and hurl eight hundred more insults at them.
Pei Lang had just opened his mouth, ready to unleash his silver tongue, capable of infuriating the living and bringing the dead back to life, when all that remained before him was a trail of smoke and a cloud of dust.
"Holy crap?! They...they got away?!"
Pei Lang felt a lump in his throat, his handsome face turning red. Pointing at the streak of light disappearing into the horizon, he jumped up and down, cursing, "Tianyan Sect! If you've got the guts, don't run away! Come back and fight me another three hundred rounds—!!!"
The junior disciples of the Crimson Cloud Sect, seeing their senior brother spinning around in anger and venting his frustration at the air, silently covered their faces and quietly took two steps back.
Senior brother, although the other side is quite rude, your behavior... seems to be hurting the reputation of our Crimson Cloud Sect too!
The turmoil in Rift Valley ultimately ended with the Tianyan Sect fleeing in disarray, the city lord paying a hefty sum to avert disaster, and everyone reaping a windfall of benefits.
Back in Yunqi City, Shen Zhaozhao's highly anticipated "Spirit Core Lottery" finally came to an end.
When the three golden characters "Li Chengfeng" appeared on the screen, the chief disciple of Yunmiao Sword Sect, who was preparing for the civil service exam, was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Senior Sister Shen! From now on, the entire Yunmiao Sword Sect will follow your lead! If you point east, we will never go west! If you tell us to refine pills, we will never draw talismans! You are the eternal light and the only god of our Yunmiao Sword Sect! I'll go to the ancestral hall and set up a longevity tablet for you! There will be plenty of incense offerings!"
Holding the heavy bag of spirit cores, Li Chengfeng's eyes welled with tears. Looking at Shen Zhaozhao, his eyes were so devout that he could have converted on the spot.
The other Yunmiao Sword Sect disciples were even more excited. Judging from their demeanor, if the venue hadn't been limited, they could have dug a temple for Shen Zhaozhao on the spot.
Pei Lang, Mo Yan, Su Qinghe, and Li Chengfeng, the four finalists of the newcomer competition, have now been determined.
Shen Zhaozhao patted the bulging storage bag at her waist, which contained a full 1500 high-grade spirit stones, and prepared to make her retreat with satisfaction.
Yun Wan'er slunk back to Tianyan Sect, and it seems that there will be no further changes in the finals because of her. Pei Lang's fate, that silly dog, has thus been safely overcome.
“Shen Zhaozhao”.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Pei Lang, seeing Shen Zhaozhao preparing to run away, was the first to approach her, his foxy eyes gazing at her expectantly: "Aren't you going to stay and watch me dominate the competition and win the title of champion in the newcomer competition?"
Shen Zhaozhao smiled, flicking her fingers against the storage bag, producing a melodious clinking sound of spirit stones colliding, which made Pei Lang dizzy: "No, after all—"
