"Sheng Ning, are you looking for death?!"
The pressure from those at the Golden Core stage is overwhelming.
Xi Zhen's roar not only caused the audience on stage to instinctively bend over, but also nearly made Sheng Ning, the target in the audience, kneel down.
A mountain-like pressure suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, and Sheng Ning let out a muffled groan.
Her will was too strong; she would rather die than kneel before the disciples of the Taixu Sect.
At this moment, the veins in her neck were bulging, her eyes were wide open, and her whole face was scrunched up.
Seeing Xi Zhen heading straight for her, she used the Gatling gun as a crutch to support herself and gave him a smile.
"If you can't beat them, you call for reinforcements. Truly worthy of being the top sect among the four great sects, the Taixu Sect."
Gu Liangcai knelt to one side, his body covered in cold sweat as if he had just been pulled out of a lake.
Hearing Sheng Ning's mocking voice, the secret joy he felt at seeing Xi Zhen avenge him suddenly turned into shame and indignation.
As an inner disciple of the Taixu Sect, he was actually ridiculed by Sheng Ning, who was once a useless person with five elemental spiritual roots and is now a disciple of a small sect.
Gu Liangcai clenched his fists tightly.
Xi Zhen came for Sheng Ning.
As a talisman cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, even if his martial prowess was insufficient, the pressure he released was enough to make Sheng Ning's legs go weak.
Now, in front of so many people, Sheng Ning not only didn't kneel down in public, but he also stubbornly refused to admit his mistake and mocked the inner disciples of the Taixu Sect.
He was filled with rage, like a raging lion.
In the blink of an eye, Xi Zhen had already rushed to Sheng Ning's side.
What did you just say?
Sheng Ning raised her head and met his eyes. His imposing presence made it hard for her to breathe.
Her face flushed bright red, and after a long while, she chuckled softly, "What did I say? Is Fellow Daoist Xi deaf?"
"you!"
New grudges and old hatreds.
Xi Zhen had disliked Sheng Ning from the very beginning.
Now she actually dares to curse him within the territory of the Taixu Sect.
His eyes widened suddenly.
Just as he was about to make a move, he saw the person who had been putting on a show of strength in front of him a moment ago disappear from his sight the next instant.
At that very moment, the disciples on the stage, who had been trembling with fear under the oppressive aura, suddenly rose up in protest.
"What happened? Sheng Ning was just standing in front of Senior Brother Xi a moment ago?"
"Senior Brother Xi, she's behind you!"
"Did she affix a speed-enhancing talisman to her body? Have the talismans drawn by the talisman cultivators of the Invincible Sect become this terrifyingly powerful?"
Yu stood in the center of the crowd. Hearing the uproar, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. "Clowns, frogs in a well."
However, the noise around him was so loud that no one heard him clearly.
Below the stage, Xi Zhen watched helplessly as Sheng Ning suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
Before he could react, a scalding heat was pressed against his neck.
"Fellow Daoist Xi, our duel hasn't even begun yet, why are you in such a hurry to die?"
Upon hearing Sheng Ning's voice, Xi Zhen broke out in a thin layer of sweat on his back.
How did she do it?
They managed to escape from his presence despite his pressure as a Golden Core cultivator, and instantly appeared behind him.
Sheng Ning held up the Gatling gun, pressing the muzzle directly against the back of Sheng Ning's neck.
If she fires a shot here, unless the Taixu Sect is willing to give him a heaven and earth treasure to reshape his flesh and bones, he will either live or spend the rest of his life bedridden and paralyzed.
Her eyes were still bloodshot.
That was caused by her using the Shrinking Earth technique to forcefully activate her spiritual power under pressure.
Now that she has suppressed Xi Zhen, she has also exposed herself.
Standing on the stage, Qin Chuan was stunned by what had just happened, not only by the disciples of the Taixu Sect but also by Qin Chuan himself.
He lowered his eyes and met Su Daiyuan's gaze, confirming something in the other's eyes.
Sheng Ning knows the ancient method of shrinking the earth to an inch.
All of this she acquired after leaving the Taixu Sect.
Feeling a mix of emotions, Qin Chuan glanced at Sheng Ning below the stage.
He still remembered the first and last time he saw Sheng Ning at the Taixu Sect.
She was also very thin, with dry, yellow hair, clearly indicating that she hadn't been eating properly.
Or perhaps the disciples of the Taixu Sect simply didn't give her any food.
The reason for this is that she is a useless person with five elemental spiritual roots.
When Sheng Ning stated that he wanted to leave the Taixu Sect, he did not consider stopping him.
It's truly shameful for a useless person with five elemental roots to remain in the Taixu Sect, even if he's just an outer disciple.
He saw Sheng Ning again during the monster frenzy.
Seeing that she had become radiant after being accepted by the Invincible Sect, he had already noticed her.
In the subsequent sect competitions and when they entered the Demon Realm, Sheng Ning became even more captivating.
It was as if she were the main character on stage, and everyone around her was just an accessory.
The same thing happened this time.
Even though she was already under Xi Zhen's pressure, all she had to do was kneel down and beg for mercy, and Xi Zhen would definitely not be able to do anything to her.
But she did not beg for mercy. Even when Xi Zhen exerted all his pressure on her, she still stood up straight, looking like she was unwilling to admit defeat.
What awaited Xi Zhen was an unexpected counterattack...
"Hey! What are you looking at? Are you mesmerized by my junior sister?"
Qin Chuan suddenly snapped back to reality when he saw a hand waving in front of him. He then saw Yu Ye standing beside him with an unhappy expression.
Seeing that he had come to his senses, he crossed his arms and scoffed, "Regretful? You think my junior sister is better now? It's no use regretting it now."
After saying that, Yu also glanced at Shi Yueyao, who had been hiding behind Qin Chuan and had not spoken to make her presence known, and said, "Your junior sister is not bad either."
A smile played on his lips, but it was a smile that was undeniably jarring.
Guan Yunchuan nodded in agreement beside him, "It hasn't been long, and Fellow Daoist Master has already advanced to the fifth level of the Golden Core stage. His future is limitless, and this is truly a cause for celebration."
He said it was "something to celebrate," but there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face.
Qin Chuan and the others knew how poor Shi Yueyao's talent was, and Su Daiyuan and the others knew it even better.
Previously, Shi Yueyao was able to climb to the ninth level of Qi Refining entirely thanks to the spiritual fruits and pills given to her by Su Daiyuan and the others.
Now that she's joined the Taixu Sect, it's true that large sects have better resources.
But in just six months, she broke through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Golden Core...
Knowing that Shi Yueyao was the one who had used abnormal cultivation methods, Su Daiyuan and the others narrowed their eyes.
The atmosphere offstage was tense, and the atmosphere onstage was equally tense.
Shi Yueyao was furious after being mocked, but since Qin Chuan had just reminded her, she dared not say anything more and could only stomp her feet in anger.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's finish this game quickly and go home to rest."
Finally, Yu Ye spoke up and broke the deadlock.
He stretched and said to Sheng Ning below the stage, "Junior sister, stop playing with the dog and come up for a drink of water. We need to get down to business."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning put away his gun, turned around, and headed straight for the stage, without even glancing at Xi Zhen.
After being teased like a dog, Xi Zhen angrily went up to the stage again after hearing Yu Ye's words.
