Wan Guiyi, Wu Xiaofan, Lou Wucheng, and the others sat down with their heads bowed in shame, as if all their strength had been drained away.
Just seconds before, they were burning with fighting spirit against Zaun, feeling that such a person was worthy of being their opponent.
But now they realize that they are not worthy to be each other's opponents.
At the same time, they felt a sense of unease. Each of them was an absolute prodigy in their sect, believing themselves to be second to none among their peers. Even if there were differences, they should be on the same level. But they had run into Zu An...
Is this monster even human?!
"Ah Zu is so handsome!" Qiu Honglei excitedly grabbed Yun Jianyue's arm and shook it, her excitement as if she wanted to share with her the pride of having her man.
"Nothing special, nothing compared to when I went in and out of Zishan seven times back then." Yun Jianyue said with some disdain, but secretly thought to himself, this kid is indeed quite handsome.
But in my memory, the sword energy from Zaun's move was cyan, how did it turn into gold?
In fact, Zuan was also puzzled by this. Ever since he exceeded level 70, the color of the sword formation had changed automatically, but he didn't investigate it further. As long as it looked cool, that was all that mattered.
Yan Xuehen's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of regret creeping into her heart. She shouldn't have let Chu Yan go into seclusion today; she must be very upset to find out she missed this moment.
Well, I did this for her own good. Otherwise, if she saw Zu'an hugging Pei Mianman so intimately, she would probably be furious.
In the imperial camp, Zhang Zijiang said smugly to the guards around him, "I just said that our Lord Zu is a peerless master. How could a mere Taoist elder be a match for him?"
Xie Daoyun, standing to the side, thought to herself, "That's not what you just said. You're worried to death."
However, she was in no mood to care about such things at the moment. She simply rested her chin on her hand, looked at the man with a smile in her eyes, and thought to herself that Brother Zu was really handsome. Of course, he would be even more handsome if he wasn't holding another woman in his arms.
"How can this guy be so amazing!" Unlike the excitement of the others, the people on Lihentian's side were all as if they had lost their parents.
After all, they were previously on the opposite side of Zaun.
Cai Yu, who had previously looked down on Zu'an and thought the other party was afraid to accept his challenge, turned red and white in turns, and finally threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
The opponent's cultivation level was far higher than he had imagined; what use was there for him to practice swordsmanship?
The young monk from Wuyou Temple, who had been practicing abstinence from lust, glanced at Master Jianhuang and asked, "Master, could you have withstood that move just now?"
The master of pornography censorship smiled slightly: "There is no conflict between your master and Benefactor Zu, so why should we consider such a question?"
"Master, you're cheating."
"That's called playing a veiled attack."
...
At this moment, Zu An landed back on the ground and presented the blushing Pei Mianman to Master Huo Ling: "Master, Miss Pei has suffered a great loss and needs to rest and recuperate."
Given the current public scrutiny, it is not advisable to expose their relationship for the time being.
"Okay, thank you, young master." Master Huoling also came to her senses and hurriedly took Pei Mianman away, while taking out a large amount of Biluo Palace's healing medicine and feeding it to Pei Mianman.
At the same time, he secretly glared at Wan Tongtian. If Wan Tongtian had done that for him back then, the two of them wouldn't have had such lifelong regrets.
Zu An then turned around and scanned the crowd: "I think Miss Pei won fairly and squarely just now, so there's no need to investigate anything else. What do you all think?"
The expressions of the various sects in the arena became extremely complicated in an instant. Those who had just supported Guan Chouhai were now hesitant. Now that Biluo Palace had the support of Zu'an, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious in a real conflict.
Zu'an's cultivation is unexpectedly strong, and he also represents the imperial court. There's no need to clash with him.
Guan Chouhai's expression shifted between light and dark, but this matter concerned the honor of Lihentian, and he could not back down.
I thought to myself, "Your move just now was indeed very powerful, but I don't believe that someone so young could defeat a Grandmaster!"
Just as he was about to say something, Yun Jianyue said with a smile, "I also agree with what this Lord Zu said. Miss Pei won just now only because everyone saw it with their own eyes. There's no need to dwell on other things."
Guan Chouhai's expression changed. Kongming Island hadn't expressed its opinion until now, but it had suddenly spoken in support of Zu'an.
However, I'm not necessarily afraid of a mere empty island.
Just as he was about to speak, a clear, cold voice rang out: "The matters on the arena should be resolved by the two sides themselves. If the elders of every loser come out to cause trouble, this Daoist Grand Competition will lose its original meaning."
Everyone was shocked, never expecting that Yan Xuehen, who was always as cold as an iceberg, would actually speak up, and that her attitude was different from that of Elder Li of Baiyujing.
“Something’s strange. This Ice Stone Woman is being far too nice to Zu’an. It’s not like her at all.” Yun Jianyue stared at Yan Xuehen with a thoughtful expression.
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I feel like you treat Azu better, Master? It's not like you. For example, just now you came out to support Azu even before Abbot Yan."
"How can they be the same? I'm doing this all for you!" Yun Jianyue almost jumped up.
"Really? I thought it was because you and Abbot Yan had gone through the chaos with him on the demon race's side and had become friends," Qiu Honglei said with a smile.
"That's part of the reason too." Yun Jianyue felt a little guilty, and avoided looking into her eyes, changing the subject, "Let's wait and see how things develop."
At this moment, Wang Wuxie stepped forward and said, "Master Yan is right. We elders should not participate in the arena competition. Brother Guan, let your nephew Zhiyin rest well. With his strength, he should be able to compete for a spot later."
Seeing Zu'an's strength, he was initially hesitant, but now that even Yan Xuehen had spoken out, he naturally went with the flow, while secretly reminding Guan Chouhai and Li Hentian that there was still a chance.
