"Heavenly Sword Sect arrives! Last year's ranking: Second place!!"
The same stirring spiritual sound rang out, and another enormous flying boat came into view.
Dongfang Xu originally planned to go outside and experience the cheers of the people, but now they were all shouting the name of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"What bad luck!" He flicked his sleeves and returned to the flying boat.
He said indignantly, "So what if you're ranked one place higher than us? What are you pretending for? After this sect competition, we'll definitely crush you under our feet!"
On the other side, on the flying boat of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Sect Leader Mingxi and Young Sect Leader Meimei stood at the very front of the flying boat, their bodies as straight as pine trees. The breeze blew their dresses, but they remained unmoved.
Even with the loud cheers from below, their expressions remained serious, showing no sign of relaxation.
In recent sect competitions, the Heavenly Sword Sect has consistently held the second position in the cultivation world.
The members of the Heavenly Sword Sect are all upright and honest, cultivate with exceptional diligence, and are single-mindedly devoted to the Dao.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "righteousness turning into evil".
Unfortunately, the Flying Cloud Sect, the number one sect, was simply too powerful, leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect in second place.
"They're here! They're here!"
The cheers for the Heavenly Sword Sect were quickly drowned out by other voices.
People pointed at the slowly approaching flying boat in the sky, their voices almost cracking with excitement.
A huge flag fluttered in the wind aboard the flying boat, bearing the three large characters "Flying Cloud Sect".
The number one sect in the cultivation world today!
"Flying Cloud Sect has arrived! Last year's ranking: First place!!!"
As soon as the announcement was made, the cultivators on Fengling Platform erupted in cheers, one wave after another.
Countless cultivators from various sects gazed at the flying boat with envy and longing.
"Flying Cloud Sect! Flying Cloud Sect! Flying Cloud Sect!"
"Master Lingxiao! Master Lingxiao! Master Lingxiao!"
It's not just because of the Flying Cloud Sect, but also because of the number one cultivator, True Person Lingxiao.
Their status in the cultivation world is evident, and this combination makes their position even more secure and unshakeable.
Inside the Flying Cloud Sect's flying boat.
The disciples and elders were used to such scenes and remained calm.
Bai Mumu and Shen Daochen were together, and Shen Daochen smiled as he introduced her to the various competition venues in Fenglingtai.
And encourage her, telling her not to put too much pressure on herself.
"You've performed exceptionally well during this period of leading the team," Shen Daochen praised. A strange glint appeared in his eyes when he mentioned this, but he quickly concealed it.
Bai Mumu always performed her missions exceptionally well when leading a team, but the only drawback was that a disciple would always die unexpectedly.
In the past few months, more than ten disciples have been lost.
However, trials and tribulations always involve both opportunities and crises; it can only be said that they were unlucky and had no one to blame but themselves.
Shen Daochen sighed silently in his heart, looked at Bai Mumu, and his gaze turned to one of relief.
"Your strength has already broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. With the help of the Listening Cold Pearl and your senior brothers, taking first place shouldn't be a big problem."
"Father, don't worry about me. I'm confident. But you, Father," Bai Mumu said coquettishly, clinging to Shen Daochen, "Father, you also have to participate in the Elders' Competition. Are you ready, Father?"
"You silly child, your father isn't old yet," Shen Daochen scolded playfully. "Besides, your master is still here. With your master around, the elders' competition is just a formality for your father."
The elders' competition was essentially an opening performance; the elders from each family merely touched on each other's strengths, and these old folks were well aware of their own abilities.
The main stage for the sect competition should still be given to the emerging forces of these sects.
"Alright, go find your master and senior brothers." Shen Daochen waved to Bai Mumu.
"Yes, daughter obeys." Bai Mumu replied sweetly.
When he turned around, he had already changed his expression, which was somewhat creepy.
In the past few months, she has been busy leading the team on training missions and has not had much time to interact with Feng Heyun and the others.
However, she could clearly sense that the people were intentionally distancing themselves from her, and their favorability towards her had decreased.
So what? She'll still win in the end.
She smoothed her hair, a strange smile playing on her lips, and then, as if she hadn't noticed anything, she walked briskly into Lingxiao Zhenren's room.
"Master, senior brothers." The voice was as usual as it greeted everyone in the room.
"Mu Mu is here?" Lingxiao Zhenren, who was meditating, opened his eyes.
"Disciple greets Master."
After their conversation ended, the room fell silent, creating a strange atmosphere.
Master Lingxiao frowned, looked at Feng Heyun and the others who remained silent, and said coldly, "Why didn't you respond when your junior sister greeted you?"
Bai Mumu looked at them with a wronged and puzzled expression, "But what did Mumu do to offend these senior brothers?"
Under the oppressive gaze of Master Lingxiao, Feng Heyun could only force a smile, "No, it's just that my senior brothers were distracted."
"Don't you guys agree?" He frantically winked at the others.
Only Luo Chu cooperated with him, saying, "Yes, junior sister, don't overthink it."
Wen Xuan and Lu Shiqing, who had just fought, were now sitting together, heads bowed, only uttering a soft "hmm" in response.
Ever since returning from Shen Sangruo's cave, Wen Xuan has been in this dejected state.
The once gentle and refined gentleman now had a look of worry in his eyes.
Lu Shiqing's condition seemed even worse; his face was extremely thin, and his lips were somewhat pale.
If he hadn't repeatedly assured Master Lingxiao that he would give his all in the sect competition, he wouldn't have been allowed to participate in the competition in his current state.
"Alright, I believe my senior brothers didn't do it on purpose, Master, let's just let this matter go." Bai Mumu pleaded for them.
Lingxiao Zhenren then said nothing more.
Feng Heyun and Luo Chu looked at Bai Mumu, who was as innocent and kind as ever.
A mix of emotions welled up within me.
But considering what she had done, even if she just wanted more attention from them, it was still her who drove Chen Sangruo away.
The feeling of guilt that had just arisen in my heart vanished without a trace.
Let's leave it at that for now. They definitely won't treat her the same way they used to.
Bai Mumu seemed oblivious to their complicated gazes, and naturally sat down in her seat, preparing to close her eyes and cultivate.
At this moment, Wen Xuan raised his head and walked up to Bai Mumu.
"Junior Sister, come outside with me for a moment, I have something to say to you."
"Okay, let's go, Second Senior Brother." Bai Mumu's expression was so normal it was almost unnatural; she agreed immediately after Wen Xuan spoke.
The two walked out of the room and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bai Mumu then asked, "What does Second Senior Brother want to tell me?"
