Chapter 36

As the whispers spread, people who had not paid attention to the situation here began to look in this direction.

At this moment, Nan Xi reached out and caught the paper crane that was flying slowly towards her. When she saw it, her expression suddenly changed and she showed a little joy on her face, which made everyone speculate.

What made the Tianyun Sword Sect's eldest disciple so happy?

Nan Xi walked forward, staring at everyone's gaze, and came in front of Qi Qian, with a slight blush on her face.

Behind her, Luo Tingyun had already unsheathed his sword, and several of his disciples were surging with spiritual power, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

The onlookers' gazes shifted from Nan Xi to the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect, and for a moment they could not tell what was going on.

Someone explained, "The Yuxu Sect is a sect that has risen in the past hundred years. It is located next to the Tianyun Sword Sect, and there has always been a grudge between the two sects."

So everyone looked at Nan Xi who was walking forward, and then looked at the imposing disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect, and they understood.

It turned out to be a provocation!

Looking more closely at the Yuxu Sect disciples, each of them seemed to have good aura and cultivation, but they were somewhat inferior to the people from the Tianyun Sword Sect. Although their cultivation was similar, four of the direct disciples were already over fifty years old.

Even though he can be considered a genius, he is still far inferior to the Tianyun Sword Sect.

So everyone was amazed, "If it weren't for the fact that these disciples from the Tianyun Sword Sect were born late, how could these disciples from the Yuxu Sect dare to act so arrogant in front of them."

The person who just gave the science popularization explained the reasons for the two accumulated grievances. He who provokes first becomes the loser. At this time, everyone agrees with this provocative behavior.

Nan Xi stood in front of Qi Qian, thought about her words, lowered her voice, and had joy in her eyes.

"Ah Qian, is what you just told me true?"

The onlookers narrowed their eyes and immediately felt something was wrong. "Why is the tone so intimate?"

Then someone gave another explanation, briefly talking about the love-hate relationship between Nan Xi and Qi Qian. Suddenly, the onlookers were confused.

"What did you say? The chief disciple of Tianyun Sword Sect likes this chief disciple of Yuxu Sect? He is still obsessed with her even after being rejected many times?"

Someone took a deep breath and said, "This kind of thing... is really hard to say."

Everyone has figured out the situation, but now it is unclear again.

"So where is this now?"

Nan Xi was acting, her eyes only focused on Qi Qian. Seeing that he remained silent, she continued, "Of course I believe you. If there is anything later, you can tell me."

"I am naturally happy to be with you."

When these words came out clearly, those who didn't know about those things before suddenly widened their eyes.

Nan Xi actually likes Qi Qian?

Qi Qian's expression softened a little and he looked towards Nan Xi, as if he was about to speak, but something unexpected happened in that instant.

A Jindan-stage cultivator suddenly emerged from the crowd, sword in hand and with a strong aura, he walked straight towards Nan Xi.

This is near the entrance to the Dibai Secret Realm. The secret realm has not yet been opened, but due to the rules, cultivators over a hundred years old will stay away from here, in case their presence becomes an obstacle to the disciples when the secret realm is opened.

Therefore, when this Jindan stage cultivator made his move, no powerful person was able to stop him in the first place.

Nan Xi was also in the Jindan stage. Although she was not allowed to practice during this period, she often practiced swordplay and studied martial arts and swordsmanship. Her cultivation had long been stable, so she would definitely not be in a weak position.

Therefore, she reacted the moment this Jindan stage cultivator made his move.

[The storyline says that I am a hero saving a beautiful woman, and it also says that I am in a weak position, but it does not explicitly describe that I fled in a panic and embarrassed myself, so now I just need to show that I am slightly weak.]

Nan Xi stepped back suddenly, and under everyone's gaze, she dodged the attack with extremely beautiful movements.

Her movements caught people's attention and amazed many people.

This time, it is very beautiful.

At the same time, Qi Qian frowned and raised his sword to prepare to meet the attack, but suddenly he heard the sound of swords colliding, making a very crisp sound.

Looking closely, Luo Tingyun had just retracted his sword and stood in the front, confronting the Jindan-stage cultivator, while Qi Zhao stood in front of Nan Xi, taking both the Jindan-stage cultivator and himself into his eyes, his eyes extremely cold.

The voices around suddenly became noisy.

"What happened?!"

"Fuck! It's beautiful!"

"What's going on with this guy? Why did he suddenly attack Nan Xi?"

This is beautiful. First, it means that Nan Xi dodged beautifully, second, it means that Luo Tingyun blocked beautifully, and third, it means that the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect reacted beautifully.

Led by Qi Zhao, the rest of the direct disciples were just a step slower, but they also gathered around Nan Xi in the blink of an eye, facing the Jindan stage disciple together with Nan Xi as the core.

The sword formation of Tianyun Sword Sect is famous. As long as it is used well, it is not a fool's dream to build the foundation and cut the golden elixir.

The Jindan stage cultivator glanced at Wu Zhuo vaguely and had some thoughts of retreating.

If Nan Xi was alone, he would definitely not be afraid.

But these are seven disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect who can use sword formations, and they are the best group of disciples in Tianyun Sword Sect.

In his early years, he had fought against other disciples of the Tianyun Sword Sect. Although he severely injured the opponents, he did not gain any benefits.

Nan Xi was the slowest to react among everyone.

In other words, she was the slowest to understand the situation. After she dodged the attack from the Jindan-stage disciple, she was sure that her performance was not shameful, and she had already anticipated what would happen next.

It was nothing more than her dodging constantly, and then making a move and shining brilliantly.

By then, all the people who are facing Qi Mi will have a completely new understanding—a genius who can deal with Jin Dan with Foundation Building and not fall behind.

Someone will pay attention to him, be jealous of him, and put him on the same level as the most cutting-edge geniuses, and he will receive attention in the entire cultivation world.

But the current situation is very different from what Nan Xi expected.

Her fellow disciples, fellow junior brothers and sisters, reacted as quickly as possible, standing around her and confronting the Jindan stage cultivator.

Although no one took any action, their momentum had already overwhelmed the opponent, and they all moved to the side, becoming even more dim.

Who can still remember what Nan Xi just said to Qi Qian at this moment? It's nothing more than the least important love.

The Jindan stage cultivator had already begun to think of retreating, and then he looked at Wu Zhuo again, who shook his head at him secretly. He understood what he meant and prepared to retreat.

Nan Xi reacted at this time and asked the system, "Do I need to continue with this plot?"

She was not worried because there was nothing wrong with her performance just now, and the reaction of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples was beyond everyone's expectations.

The deviation in the plot is not the responsibility of Nan Xi.

The system's voice fell a little slower, […It seems there is no chance for a unified performance. ]

Even the system was a little confused about the current situation. Not only was the plot deviated, it couldn't even understand why these Tianyun Sword Sect disciples could react so quickly and choose to protect Nan Xi.

...Could this be the bond between fellow disciples?

Nan Xi's eyes flickered, [This time the plot went wrong and it has nothing to do with me, so I just need to maintain my character image from now on, right? ]

Hearing Nan Xi's thoughts, Luo Tingyun and others tilted their heads slightly.

At this point, they almost knew what the character settings were, but the relationship between the plot and the punishment was still unclear. If Nan Xi destroyed the so-called plot, she might be punished, but what happened just now was almost their subconscious reaction.

Hearing Nan Xi's words at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.

System answer: [Yes, please maintain your character, I will resolve any plot deviations.]

Nan Xi responded, "I understand."

Just by hearing Nan Xi's voice, everyone had some idea in their minds. Luo Tingyun turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Nan Xi, his voice was flat but with a hint of intimacy.

"Master Sister, we can't let him go."

Nan Xi came back to her senses, thought about what the system said, frowned slightly, and nodded, "Okay."

[One of my personal characteristics is that I don’t often reject people. 】

When the Jindan stage cultivator saw the momentum change, he took a step back, turned around and ran.

But since the decision had been made, the group quickly caught up. The speed of the Foundation Establishment Stage was definitely not as fast as that of the Golden Core Stage.

Nan Xi was in the crowd. His mind suddenly changed and he used the steps he had practiced before to mobilize his spiritual power. In just a moment, he stopped the Jindan stage cultivator.

The speed was so fast that almost no one had time to react. When they looked again, they found that the seven people had already stopped the Jindan stage cultivator. With Nan Xi as the core, the sword formation had already started to operate.

The shadows of swords were clearly visible behind them, and they attacked the Jindan stage cultivator simultaneously.

"clang--"

The sword of the Jindan stage cultivator was unstable and flew out of his hand. After flying for a distance, it fell to the ground, making a sound of falling iron.

In just a short while, Li Yunzheng and the Great Elder arrived. The pressure from the Tribulation Crossing cultivator directly suppressed the Golden Core Stage cultivator. The opponent could not hold on for even a second and fell to his knees, unable to raise his head.

He was so frightened that his bones and muscles were numb, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, please spare my life, Your Excellency, please spare my life..."

Li Yunzheng was able to see what had just happened. Knowing that the disciples had done a very good job, Li Yunzheng simply crossed her arms and asked nonchalantly, "Why? You had the guts to assassinate my disciples just now, but now you are so spineless?"

At this time, the disciples had already put away their swords. Nan Xi looked at Luo Tingyun, then at Qi Zhao, and then at the other fellow disciples and sisters. He was moved by what he realized belatedly.

[Do you guys love me so much? You guys reacted so quickly and helped me? ]

[Oh yeah, there's also this idiot. I saw him exchanging glances with Wu Zhuo just now. No wonder Qi Qian has such good luck. The Yuxu Sect is paving the way for him.]

Li Yunzheng kicked the monk casually.

"Tell me why you attacked my disciples. Confess and I will let you off."

The man trembled even more violently and glanced towards Wu Zhuo subconsciously, but under the pressure, he still spoke quickly.

"I am under the protection of..."

He uttered only half a syllable of the word "禦" when his eyeballs suddenly bulged, his spiritual energy became disordered, and he vomited blood the next moment. The Jindan-stage cultivator who had been so awe-inspiring just now now had a pale face and a wolfish posture.

Li Yunzheng's eyes deepened, but a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Oh, there's a conspiracy, huh? What's it about?"

Li Yunzheng's eyes glanced towards Yuxu Sect. Although she was smiling, her expression was extremely cold.

Nan Xi was so excited that she couldn't help but complain to the system.

[I said it was a conspiracy of the Yuxu Sect. Qi Qian is not the real son of destiny. Why should we protect him? ]

The crowd was shocked.

“To be sure!”

"You have such a vicious heart to hire someone to assassinate Nan Xi at this critical moment!"

"This is totally unrighteous!"
