She just appeared out of nowhere? And completely unharmed! That's a restricted area! She, a freshman, trespassed into the restricted area for half a month, and yet, she didn't die? Not only did she not die, but she was also completely unharmed?
His cold gaze swept over the bewildered faces of the group, and he crossed his arms, slowly saying, "I heard you're spreading rumors that I'm dead?"
A powerful aura emanated from them, and the oppressive atmosphere made them afraid to utter a sound.
Wow, what a powerful aura! How could such an aura appear in a new disciple?
More importantly, even some cultivators at the Spirit Emperor Realm couldn't see through Jun Liuyue's cultivation level.
Either her cultivation level was concealed by some magical artifact, or her cultivation level was far above theirs, so they simply couldn't see through her!
"Jun Qing, you're not dead!" Murong Xue's voice suddenly rose. "You... how could you still be alive!"
Her eyes were filled with shock, then, as if remembering something, she sneered, "You weren't actually in the forbidden zone at all, were you! You deliberately disappeared for half a month, making us think you went into the forbidden zone for training? Jun Qing, your methods are far too despicable!"
"Oh? May I ask why I would do this?" Liu Yue raised an eyebrow.
"Naturally, it's to make us think you're amazing for trespassing into a restricted area," Murong Xue sneered, with an expression that said she had already seen through it all.
After news of Jun Liuyue's intrusion into the restricted area spread, it did indeed inspire a lot of admiration.
Many people regard Jun Liuyue as a role model, not only because of her high talent and good cultivation, but also because of her great courage!
However, five days later, public opinion suddenly changed!
Many people think Jun Liuyue is a fool who overestimates himself, but now Jun Liuyue, who disappeared for half a month, has suddenly reappeared.
Murong Xue strongly suspected that Jun Liuyue had never even entered the restricted area!
Although she had never been to the forbidden zone, it was filled with countless magical beasts and even demons.
No matter how powerful Jun Liuyue is, she's still just a little girl in her teens.
She came out unharmed, which made it hard not to be suspicious.
“That’s right, Princess Murong is right.” Qi Zixian stepped forward. “Since you entered the forbidden area, why didn’t you hunt down any demons to generate spiritual power and climb the Azure Cloud Ranking?”
Qi Zixian's words immediately sparked a discussion among the crowd.
"Qi Zixian, what nonsense are you spouting! How difficult is it to get on the Azure Cloud Ranking? Do you think you can get on it just by going through one trial?"
Ouyang Chen couldn't help but say.
"Really? That's true. Not everyone is as capable as Princess Wan, who has already reached the third place on the list at such a young age," Qi Zixian said proudly, as if she herself had climbed the Qingyun List.
Upon hearing this, Feng Wan playfully retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. I was just a little luckier."
“Luck and strength go hand in hand, unlike some people…” Qi Zixian glanced at Jun Liuyue with disdain, “arrogant and conceited, extremely arrogant.”
"Oh? Is being third on the list something to be proud of?" The girl raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Hahaha." Qi Zixian seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "The third place on the list requires 10,000 spiritual power points. I bet you didn't even make it onto the list, did you?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
So what if someone is exceptionally talented? Isn't that just too arrogant?
Even Princess Renwan was never this arrogant and conceited.
"Wait, the Qingyun Ranking seems to have been... updated?"
At that moment, a gasp rang out from the crowd.
"Number one on the list, wait! Number one on the list is Jun Qing!?"
"Am I...am I imagining things?"
"Jun Qing? Jun Qing is number one!? How is that possible!!!"
Boom! The refresh of the Qingyun Ranking was like a thunderclap exploding.
Everyone stared at Jun Liuyue in shock.
The girl tilted her head and smiled: "This Azure Cloud Ranking is nothing special."
A casual remark, when it reached everyone's ears, was absolutely infuriating! This was the most authoritative list in Canglan.
She actually said...it's nothing special? It's true what they say, comparisons are odious!
"Jun Qing, did you cheat?!" Qi Zixian couldn't believe it. In just fifteen days, she had actually climbed to the top of the list?
"How is this possible! It's impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Qi Zixian sneered, "The Dean and Elder Jingxuan are both your masters, you..."
"Stop talking," Feng Wan said in a low voice.
"You mean my two masters helped me cheat?"
"I...I didn't mean that."
Qi Zixian was startled; she almost blurted it out.
She couldn't bear the consequences if she offended the Dean and Elder Jingxuan because of this.
She glared at Jun Liuyue with resentment.
"You brat!"
Jing Xuan rushed over as soon as he learned that Jun Liuyue had appeared, and was delighted to see his disciple arrive unharmed.
Jingxuan was overjoyed.
"Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Cough cough cough, Master, you're holding me so tight I can hardly breathe..."
Liu Yue's lips twitched. This old man...
She didn't die; she was probably strangled to death.
"Hehe, wasn't I just too excited?" Jing Xuan reluctantly let go of her hand. "You brat, are you hurt anywhere? Don't push yourself! Also, where have you been for the past two weeks? I was so scared, and your headmaster was so worried he couldn't eat. You brat, you really made me so worried!!"
"Master, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Liuyue said helplessly.
"No injuries."
"That's good, that's good." Jing Xuan finally felt relieved.
"You shouldn't participate in this Spirit Realm Trial yet." The Spirit Realm is extremely dangerous, and he was worried about her entering it immediately after just coming out of the forbidden zone.
