Chapter 64 Peeping into the Soul
"Ruoqian".
Suddenly a gentle voice came from the stands. Everyone turned to look and saw a woman dressed in a silver dress, with graceful figure and extremely beautiful appearance.
"Cousin, you're out of seclusion?" Bai Ruoqian ran over excitedly, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly, "Did you come here especially to watch my competition?"
"yes."
"You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage?!"
"Um."
"That's great!" Bai Ruoqian was naturally very proud. The Bai family would have another powerful member, and she would have more support in the future.
"And what about my brother-in-law?"
"He has also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and is currently discussing important matters with the sect leader of Qingyue Sect."
"Oh." Bai Ruoqian's eyes gleamed. Her brother-in-law had not only reached the Nascent Soul stage, but was also the chief elder of the Qingyue Sect. Wouldn't the Qingyue Sect be under her control from now on?
Their conversation was naturally overheard by many cultivators, who couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought that Fairy Qingyi would actually reach the Nascent Soul stage and even become a Daoist couple with Chen Yici? What a twist of fate!"
"What are you saying? The two of you are a match made in heaven. What is there that you didn't expect?"
"My fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but back then, Chen Yici was exceptionally talented, and many fairies were infatuated with him. However, the woman he loved was not Bai Qingyi, but someone else."
"No way? Fairy Qingyi is so stunningly beautiful, who could possibly surpass her?"
Seeing his deliberately mysterious expression, one of the cultivators urged, "That's right, stop being so mysterious and tell us!"
The middle-aged cultivator sighed, "Naturally, it's one of the 'Twin Beauties' from back then, Cheng Rou of the Cheng family! This woman was not only exceptionally talented, but also an unparalleled beauty! It's just a pity..."
"What's the pity?"
"Beauty is often short-lived. She actually died at the hands of her good friend Yu Zheng. This matter caused quite a stir back then. Don't you all remember it?"
"Oh! The Yu Zheng you're talking about, isn't she the traitor that Qingyue Sect ordered to be hunted down back then?"
"Yes, that's her!"
"Aren't they twin sisters? How could they be so ruthless?"
"Hey, who knows?!"
...
The conversation in the audience made Yu Xian'er, who was in the preparation area, pale. Nan Muyin held her hand with a worried expression and said softly, "Xian'er, don't take it to heart."
"Yes, Brother Yin, I'm fine..."
Suddenly, Bai Qingyi spotted Yu Xian'er, walked over to her, nodded, and smiled, "Sister Xian'er, how have you been these past few years?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er was taken aback, stood up and bowed, saying, "Sister Qingyi, I'm fine..."
"When I arrived after hearing the news about what happened back then, you had already disappeared without a trace..."
"It has nothing to do with Sister Qingyi; leaving home was a decision made within the clan."
"Sigh..." Bai Qingyi's face showed sadness, and she reached out to pat her shoulder, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to come and find me, okay?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Sister Qingyi."
Bai Qingyi chatted with Bai Ruoqian for a few minutes before leaving, leaving behind a chorus of whispers. Many people began to fawn over Bai Ruoqian.
"Junior Sister Bai, this tournament championship is definitely yours!"
"That's right, we'll definitely cheer you on later!"
"It's too early to say that, fellow disciples, please don't speak recklessly." Bai Ruoqian concealed the smugness in her eyes, picked up her tea, and leaned back in her chair.
"Hmm, at least you have self-awareness, not bad!" Not far away, Yu Qianling leaned back in his chair, raised an eyebrow at Ye Luo and smiled, "Junior brother, bring back a championship later for fun!"
"Don't worry!" Ye Luo said confidently with a smile.
"Where do you get your confidence from?" Su Yuyuan sneered, curling her lip.
“It’s innate,” Ye Luo grinned.
Su Yuyuan: "..."
Bai Ruoqian put down her teacup, her eyes flashing with murderous intent. She sneered, "I hope your life will be tougher than your mouth later!"
As a bell rang, the people who had been chatting outside quickly returned to their seats to watch the match, and the final of the rookie group individual arena began.
"The Illusory Sound Sect will face off against the Heavenly Wind Sect. Disciples from both sides, please come forward for the duel!"
Bai Ruoqian lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew onto the arena. She looked at Lan Yu opposite her and smiled confidently, "Please!"
Lan Yu had naturally heard of her reputation, and his heart grew heavy. He returned the greeting, saying, "Please!"
Bai Ruoqian's gaze narrowed slightly as she summoned her sword and swiftly unleashed several sword beams at her. Then, she flashed forward, intending to kill her at close range.
Lan Yu moved nimbly, holding the flute in front of her, blocking all the attacks and creating some distance between them.
Bai Ruoqian relentlessly pursued her, leaving Lan Yu with no choice but to activate her talisman. A green vine shield suddenly appeared, its tough tendrils protecting her inside.
Bai Ruoqian frowned slightly, quickly took to the air and formed a sword array, the golden sword light blasting towards the green vines outside.
After bombarding it for a long time, Bai Ruoqian found that the green vine barrier was completely undamaged. She stopped attacking and was pondering whether to use an attack talisman when suddenly a strange flute sound came from inside.
Bai Ruoqian sneered, intending to use her divine sense to dispel the suppression, but she underestimated the power of this illusion and fell into Lan Yu's illusion.
Within the illusion, Lan Yu carefully observed everything, attempting to find the key to defeating Bai Ruoqian.
Suddenly, a black mist filled the surroundings, and a chilling laugh rang out. The terrifying pressure sent shivers down her spine. She sensed something was wrong and tried to leave the illusion, but unexpectedly, she was tightly bound by the black mist.
"Let me go!"
Heart Soul Guide: "Hehehe, since you're here, there's no need to leave!"
"I...I give up...let me go!" Lan Yu said in a trembling voice, her face full of terror, as she struggled desperately, trying to return to her body.
However, at this moment, she was completely unable to move due to the black aura surrounding her, and after struggling for a while, she gave up.
Bai Ruoqian looked at her and sneered, "You ignorant fool, daring to pry into my heart, you deserve to die!"
"Bai Ruoqian, how dare you!"
In a moment of quick thinking, Lan Yu angrily retorted, "If you kill me, do you think the Illusionary Sound Sect will let you off?!"
"Who said I was going to kill you?" Bai Ruoqian's face was full of sinister intent. "The Soul Guide is yours!"
"Hehe, I couldn't be happier." The black mist enveloped Lan Yu, continuously drawing power from her soul. She let out a painful wail. Unfortunately, those outside the illusion were unaware of what was happening and were still excitedly discussing the battle.
However, the sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect seemed to have noticed something amiss. He took out Lan Yu's soul jade slip and was so frightened that his pupils trembled slightly. He suddenly flashed into the arena, broke through the green vine barrier, and saved the dying Lan Yu.
"What... what's going on?" The spectators looked at each other, completely bewildered.
"Yu'er! Yu'er!" Shuiyun held her pale-faced disciple and patted her cheek anxiously.
At this moment, Bai Ruoqian also opened her eyes, pretending to be clueless about the scene before her, and said, "What... what happened to me?"
