Chapter 384 Steady
Many outer disciples were also dissatisfied:
"Yes, Senior Brother Yuan, the sword did collide head-on with the cold iron dart, but it remained unscathed. Shi Yan was right!"
"Shouldn't Master Xiao explain what's going on with the sword in his hand?"
"Miss Yun's immense strength is one thing, but secretly helping to undermine fairness in the competition is another! We won't accept this until this matter is made clear!"
"Shut up!" Yuan Si said with a cold face, looking disappointed.
"Young Master Xiao's swordsmanship is exquisite. Not a single strike of his strikes collides head-on with the cold iron dart! If you were to improve a little more, you wouldn't have mistaken where his sword tip lands; it always lands on the dart's handle!"
"Hiss..." The outer disciples all widened their eyes.
"Is this still possible?"
"Is this... something an ordinary person can do?"
"Since Senior Brother Yuan said so, it can't be wrong..."
"Don't doubt it anymore. Look carefully at the brothers and elders in the inner sect. Why don't they question it?"
"Oh my god... If that's true, then wouldn't he be stronger than many of us outer disciples just based on martial arts?"
"Be more confident, you are stronger than most outer disciples... Well, work hard at training!"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips coldly, not surprised by the result at all.
Even if Xiao Changheng is just an ordinary person, he is still the top fighter among ordinary people!
On the other hand, in today's world where spiritual energy is depleted, the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are no longer as strong as they used to be. Although Xiao Changheng has no natural physique, his physique is no worse than that of the Qi Refining Stage. Challenging the next level is nothing for him.
Even if Shi Yan was placed in the outer sect, he would be just an ordinary guy. However, he relied on his insignificant Xuanmen status to suppress ordinary people. He deserved the humiliation he brought upon himself.
"Impossible! No...Poof!!!" Shi Yan was devastated and refused to accept the truth. His blood boiled and he vomited another mouthful of blood.
Yun Qingqing was too lazy to look at him anymore, she just looked at Yuan Si and said calmly:
"It seems he is unwilling to accept reality. Then the matter of apologizing and expelling him from the Seven Stars Hall will be left to you."
"Yes." Yuan Si responded respectfully.
Xiao Changheng turned around and walked towards Yun Qingqing.
Shi Yan finally realized that what was more terrifying than being defeated miserably by an ordinary person in public was that he actually had to kneel at the highest point of the mountain gate to apologize to that person!
And he will be expelled from the Seven Stars Palace!
He bit his teeth until they bled, and there was madness in his eyes. He suddenly took a deep breath, jumped up and rushed towards Xiao Changheng.
"You piece of crap! Why should I apologize to you? Never!!!"
"Let's die together!"
Xiao Changheng turned around suddenly and saw that Shi Yan's face was distorted. He was very familiar with this scene and reacted immediately.
This person couldn't bear the blow and wanted to self-destruct and take him to death with him!
The elders and many inner disciples present also reacted and exclaimed in surprise!
"No! Stop him!"
"He's only at the Qi Refining stage, how could he know how to self-destruct?"
"Stay away!"
"Lord!"
"Ancestor, please save them!"
In the chaos, I don’t know which elder shouted "Master", but it was drowned out by the noise and no one noticed.
Everything happened in a flash. Xiao Changheng only felt that two figures suddenly flashed in front of him one after another, and the next moment he heard Yun Qingqing's angry shout.
"court death!"
A formation appeared out of nowhere, holding Shi Yan tightly. A moment later, there was a loud noise like muffled thunder, and a dazzling light shot out from the formation, causing everyone present to close their eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the golden light in front of Yun Qingqing had dissipated, and there was nothing left except a dark mark on the ground.
The disciples were in an uproar.
Behind Yun Qingqing and in front of Xiao Changheng, stood Yuan Si, who was still holding his hand gestures and had no time to perform any moves.
Everyone was shocked, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Great Elder's eyes were filled with tears, and he thought to himself that he was worthy of being the master. If he had been there today, he would not have been able to stop the self-destructing beast so easily, and there would have been casualties.
Yun Qingqing turned and walked towards the elders, her eyes cold:
"There's something wrong with Shi Yan's soul. His evil thoughts have been amplified. Someone must have tampered with his soul."
The incident happened suddenly and no one else could react, but Yun Qingqing saw it clearly.
At the moment when the smoke from Shi Yan's self-explosion dissipated, a wisp of black air clearly overflowed from between his eyebrows and disappeared in a moment.
"What!" The great elder and the others were shocked.
"Someone actually attacked our sect's disciples! Investigate! This must be done thoroughly!"
Yun Qingqing was not vague and said directly:
"It's not a brilliant trick, it's just hidden in the dark and difficult to detect. Everyone from top to bottom will go through it, and there will be no omissions."
"Yes!" Several elders bowed in agreement and immediately began to arrange follow-up matters.
Yun Qingqing slowly breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take Xiao Changheng back to the villa first.
But he heard that among the crowd of outer disciples, the topic gradually shifted from the self-explosion incident to Xiao Changheng.
"Then again, Young Master Xiao hasn't even drawn Qi into his body, yet he possesses such strength... He actually has no aptitude for cultivation at all. This is truly a pity!"
"What's so regrettable? Your innate strength determines the upper limit of your cultivation. Without it, even if you are the best among ordinary people, you will still be useless in the end. This is fate!"
There were also many outer sect female disciples who sighed quietly:
"To be honest, this Young Master Xiao's appearance and temperament are truly top-notch. Although his talent is a bit lacking, he is able to surpass those in the Qi Refining Stage with his martial arts, which is actually quite good."
"Really? I can understand why Miss Yun chose him as her husband..."
"Anyway, ordinary people can't be Dao companions, and their lifespans are short, so it's okay to make do with them before choosing a Dao companion..."
Yun Qingqing frowned and turned to look at Xiao Changheng. Sure enough, she saw him standing there with his eyes lowered, expressionless, as if he was unaware of the discussions around him.
But how is that possible? This person's hearing is the most acute!
Yun Qingqing summoned Dawn and threw it into the air, then pulled Xiao Changheng up:
"Come back with me!"
After saying that, he took him onto the sword and flew directly into the air towards the villa in the back mountain.
After flying for a while, she always felt a little awkward.
After thinking about it for a while, she realized that Xiao Changheng behind her was just pulling at the corner of her clothes vaguely, and he was as far away from her as possible in the limited space.
She felt unhappy and said coldly:
"Hold it steady, or it will affect my flying sword."
The man behind him didn't move.
Yun Qingqing gritted her teeth in annoyance and suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Even though Xiao Changheng was extremely powerful and had an excellent sense of balance, he still couldn't keep his balance and his chest hit her back directly.
Yun Qingqing took his hand and placed it on her waist, and reiterated:
"Hold it steady."
Realizing that this person had finally obeyed, she resumed flying forward on her sword.
But not long after, a man's deep voice suddenly rang in my ears, accompanied by warm breaths:
"Can we... go to Wanling Pond first?"
Yun Qingqing frowned and hesitated for a moment before carefully asking:
"Why did you go to the Lingtan alone today?"
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment and whispered:
"You've already guessed it, haven't you?"
