More and more disciples were leaving, and many of those who hadn't yet left noticed this and began to wonder: What's going on? Why are we retreating? The competition isn't even over yet, where are we going?
Some people wondered if they had also been attacked by demons, which was why they had to retreat.
But then I realized the chances were so slim. But wait, even if the demons had incredible attack power, they wouldn't force everyone to retreat...
Moreover, all the sect leaders and valley masters are here; who would dare to cause trouble?
They're not vegetarians.
Regardless, Nian Wanzhou's pure spiritual power and the fact that he saved his opponent were still incredibly shocking to them. And now this child actually wants to challenge a Nascent Soul stage disciple?
Seriously, kid, are you serious?
But looking at her serious expression, she didn't seem to be faking it. Judging from her confident demeanor, she might actually win.
"Elder, why don't you let her give it a try? Anyway, this has been the rule in the competition for years, so it shouldn't be a problem," a disciple suggested when he saw the elder was still hesitating.
"Yes, Elder, it's not a life-or-death duel anyway, and there's no loss, so let's just consider it as gaining experience." Someone echoed.
The elder in charge was somewhat moved when he saw that most of the disciples agreed with Nian Wanzhou's challenge of a higher level, but he still had to wait for news from the sect master.
Besides, this is no small matter.
This female disciple's identity is not simple. It's already quite remarkable that the higher-ups have given her permission to participate at her age and in her physique. If something were to happen to her... no one could afford to offend her.
Furthermore, for some reason, Yu Ting suddenly stopped receiving messages and remained silent for a long time, which was unusual. The elder in charge waited for a reply for a quarter of an hour.
While they waited for a reply, the Nascent Soul stage competition had reached its final moments, progressing rapidly in the later stages.
It seems that someone suddenly unleashed their potential, becoming the dark horse of the end, directly knocking the fourth and fifth to unconsciousness and nearly shattering their elixirs.
He suddenly found himself facing off against Wei Wenru, who was about to take first place.
This person wasn't always this powerful; he was an outer disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, something that had never been seen before.
However, this person only said that he received the inheritance during a chance experience, which enabled him to make rapid progress and advance directly from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage.
Some people suspected that he had used some underhanded methods, but the investigation found that he hadn't. On the contrary, he seemed to be a so-called genius who rose to prominence later in life, and he had firmly established himself at the Nascent Soul stage in just five years.
Even the sect leader of the Vermilion Bird Sect had doubts about this. After witnessing the disciple's cultivation, he saw that the disciple was very hardworking and that the inheritance looked familiar, which dispelled his doubts.
He also allowed this person to participate in the competition.
It was this decision that led him to regret it for a long time afterward.
In an instant, the weather changed drastically. Dark clouds gathered over the entire Guixu Sect, just short of a raging storm and a thundercloud descending.
Just when everyone was baffled by this strange phenomenon and was speculating, the result was...
With a loud "bang," everyone's attention was drawn to the Nascent Soul stage competition area, where a disciple had actually taken on three opponents and broken through the barrier.
Black mist and dust filled the air, and the entire Guixu Sect instantly became obscured, making it impossible to see the figures in the distance. All that could be seen was the first female disciple of the Tianji Sect fighting against this person.
The disciples caught in the blast were thrown back, spitting blood. Many were struck by the sword energy and were instantly devoured by the black substance, losing their lives.
It is extremely powerful.
Seeing this, Nian Wanzhou realized that this person was the hidden target of the black mist, and that a fight had already broken out.
"You all, get away from that place quickly, don't go near that person!" In the blink of an eye, Nian Wanzhou shouted using her spiritual power, trying to stop the people around her from retreating.
Before he could finish speaking, a black sword aura suddenly flew over, knocking the elder and several disciples away.
The unidentified black object immediately wrapped around the group, devouring their bodies and spiritual energy. Instantly, they screamed in agony, "Ahhh! Help me! Help me!"
The people around were in a panic, unsure of what to do; they didn't even know what was happening.
"What...what's going on?"
"How...how do I save people? What is that thing?"
"Something that can defeat a child is so strange. Could it be the work of the demons?"
All eyes turned to Nian Wanzhou. Although they wanted to see her save people, they couldn't force her to do so, as they weren't her fellow disciples.
But who knew...
"The rest of you, retreat quickly! I'll protect you as you retreat, hurry!" Nian Wanzhou shoved aside the people who were still in a daze, raised her hand, and a huge protective shield hit her head, directly blocking the black sword energy that followed.
Then she immediately purified those people, absorbing the black, unidentified object and purifying it.
Nan Yu, who was beside her, wanted to help, but unfortunately, he couldn't withstand the sword energy of a Nascent Soul cultivator; he hadn't even formed his core yet. He could only say, "Wanwan, be careful."
The others were nearly scared to death, and while marveling at Nian Wanzhou's strength, they retreated.
"Thanks……"
"Quickly, let's retreat! No wonder the sect leader told us to retreat first, there's a reason for that! Thank you, kid, we'll leave now and won't cause you any more trouble!"
"Thank you!"
Many people are pragmatic; they thanked them and immediately left.
Why is this child able to purify things like this? Are ancient mythical beasts really so unfathomable?
