Chapter 304: Contest between Disciples
The moon was high in the sky, casting a clear light. A man wearing a hood stood under the pear tree in Xianyunju, while Xianyunju was completely dark.
After a long time, a figure walked in from outside the yard. It was Lingxiang.
Seeing Lingxiang approaching, the man hurried forward and bowed. Lingxiang gave him a little support and asked, "Is it done?"
The man took off his hood after hearing what was said, and it turned out to be Luo Li.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the fairy," Luo Li said with difficulty.
Lingxiang didn't seem annoyed, and just comforted her softly, "I don't blame you, it was indeed too hasty." Then she sighed, "Since it can't be done, then we can only leave it to fate..."
Luo Li's eyes flickered, and he hesitated as he spoke, "Did you really mean what the fairy said that day?"
Lingxiang looked at the full moon in the sky and nodded after a long time.
That day in the Wuji Palace, the Dust-Seeing Mirror showed Lingxiang the future events, and Yuan Qing was in imminent danger.
Seeing Lingxiang's serious expression, Luoli sighed and took something out of his arms.
"My cultivation is shallow, and I am unable to fuse the two spirit beads into one object, but I have accomplished half of what the fairy asked for."
Halfway done? What does that mean?
Lingxiang took the thing in Luoli's hand and found that it was wrapped with a thick layer of cotton cloth, and some light spots could be vaguely seen seeping out of it.
"With my ability as a little demon, I can only use the Fire Spirit Pearl to this extent. However, if it is what the fairy said, this is enough. However, it will not stop on its own after three years. I need the power of the Water Spirit Pearl to take it back."
"That's enough," Lingxiang said, pulling out an object from her Qiankun bag. It was the Divine Tiger Pattern Mirror. "But if I do, I'll have to bother you to go there again later and help him solve the mystery."
Luo Li quickly bowed and said, "I have no choice but to fulfill my mission to the people!"
Lingxiang smiled and then went into the house.
…
Since returning to Yuanqing, Taoist Chi Yanzi has been placed in Lingyun Pavilion. It was precisely because of this that Maidong, who was supposed to be confined to the courtyard, was allowed out, also to allow her to look after Chi Yanzi.
Maidong was quite conscientious in taking care of Chi Yanzi, although he would occasionally forget to bring medicine and water. Fortunately, with the help of Lingxiang Dan medicine, Chi Yanzi was almost recovered, so one or two mistakes were not a big deal.
Moreover, after experiencing the last battle, Chi Yanzi more or less understood what Fairy Tumi meant by "a worthy death", so he was somewhat forgiving towards a little girl like Maidong.
It is normal for children to be naughty. Who doesn’t come from that period?
Looking at Maidong who was in a daze, Chi Yanzi smiled kindly, but he didn't know that Maidong was complaining in his heart at this moment: Lingxiang, that damn girl, didn't even come to look for her after returning to Yuanqing.
Since Maidong returned to Yuanqing, she has been ordered by Master Fuyin to stay in the disciple courtyard, so she had no idea about the visit of the head of the Supreme Sect.
Guan Chen was on duty a few days ago. He kept in mind the instructions of Master Fuyin and kept his mouth shut. He didn't tell Mai Dong anything. Even when she asked, Guan Chen just said he didn't know. No matter how Mai Dong tried to cheat, it was of no use.
But today is different. Today Guanlan is guarding Lingyun Pavilion. When Master Fuyin was about to go to Wuji Palace, he was not in Qiuyun Peak, so he did not know what Master Fuyin had instructed him to do, and Guanchen did not tell him either.
It was for this reason that Maidong had extracted information from Guanlan early this morning, and was now thinking about how he could sneak out and join in the fun outside the Wuji Palace.
However, although Gangguo Guanlan did not know the instructions of Master Fuyin, he knew that the division of spirits was no trivial matter, so he only said that Elder Fucang set up a competition arena on the martial arts stage outside the Wuji Palace, but did not mention anything else.
Speaking of bustling, it was indeed lively outside the Wuji Palace. Last night, Cheng Yu defeated Bai Qing in a battle that was really interesting to watch, so early this morning, the area around the martial arts arena was crowded with people.
After yesterday's battle, Hui Yan also realized how powerful Cheng Yu was. He couldn't help but admire him. The young elder was so young, but his ability to judge people was really good.
The disciple who came to compete today was a thin one named Du Ruo from the Tai Shang Sect. He stood on the stage holding a seven-foot-long sword. He looked dignified and extraordinary. He was the direct disciple of Master Lieyang.
"Oh~ Are we going to have a personal lesson today?" Lingxiang said nonchalantly while cracking pine seeds and crossing her legs. She looked just like those dandies down the mountain.
Hui Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips - this is the elder of a major sect? But he couldn't say much, after all, he wasn't from his own sect, so he turned his head away, out of sight, out of mind.
Long Qi felt that Lingxiang's behavior was intentional. Although Lingxiang's behavior had been eccentric in the past, it was considered to be well-behaved. This was the first time he had seen her act so absurd. Thinking about it carefully, Lingxiang seemed to be very strange these past two days. Although she looked the same as usual, her eyes were different from usual.
There seemed to be a sadness between Lingxiang's eyebrows that was different from the past...
Sad? What is she sad about?
Long Qi was baffled. Ever since returning to the sect, Lingxiang had been acting strangely. Not only had she driven him and Xinyi out of Qingwei Peak for no apparent reason, but she had also deliberately provoked conflict between the two sects. While Lingxiang's actions were erratic, they were never without purpose. So, why had she acted this way?
And yesterday, she actually left the martial arts arena quietly, which was not her style of watching the fun.
What is Lingxiang planning?
Long Qi felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was. He suddenly remembered the dream he had when he was living in Ding'an. In the dream, Lingxiang had a resolute expression on her face...
Just as Long Qi was lost in thought, a burst of applause erupted from the audience of the martial arts arena. He then came to his senses and looked at the two people on the stage.
Du Ruo was good at using the Xuanmen sword, and had learned all the true skills from the real person Lieyang. Just now, he used the move of Yaksha exploring the sea, sweeping straight to the lower body of Chengqi, and the sharp momentum was like a chill wind.
Cheng Yu had just dodged a move, but Du Ruo followed up with another one. He was unable to dodge for a moment and had to use the Thunder Stick to block in front of him.
The two weapons collided, sparks flew, and a piercing eagle cry rang out. What Cheng Yu hadn't expected was that the man before him, though thin, was as strong as he was. After several blows, Cheng Yu felt a tingling pain in his palm.
Not only that, Cheng Yu had never seen Xuanmen swordsmanship before, and for a moment he was unable to see through the flaws in it. In addition, Du Ruo's attack was swift, and for a moment he could only parry, retreat or dodge, and he had no chance to calm down and think of a countermeasure.
But even though Cheng Qi was retreating step by step, the man's attack did not stop. He pressed forward with one move after another, putting him in a tough fight.
If this continues, I won't be able to keep up with the physical strength. Just dodging and parrying is not a solution. I have to fight back to have a chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Cheng Qi swung his long stick, opened the sword, turned around and kicked, and while Du Ruo was dodging, he distanced himself from him.
As soon as he stood still, Cheng Qi took a breath, then lowered his body and hit the ground with his long stick.
After a few dull sounds, Lingxiang on the seat grinned, "The Crazy Demon Stick Technique is a good way to deal with the Xuanmen Sword Technique."
