Immortal Lord Changli calmly withdrew his gaze.
"Master, what were you looking at just now?" This subtle movement was noticed by Shen Sangruo.
"Your former master was trying to probe us with his divine sense, but I blocked it." Immortal Lord Changli didn't give True Person Lingxiao any face and said it directly.
Upon hearing that it was Lingxiao Zhenren, Chen Sanruo instantly lost interest.
"It's not just him; it seems your former senior brothers are causing trouble too," Immortal Lord Changli added.
When Feng Heyun and the others were mentioned, Shen Sanruo simply gave an indifferent "Oh".
"What former senior brother?" Song Weiyan leaned closer.
The other three were also very wary and surrounded them.
"Don't bother with them, just focus on the competition," she said calmly, without giving the central platform a second glance.
"I remember, didn't her former masters and senior brothers dislike her? Why would they react like this?" Qingluan Fairy asked, puzzled.
She had learned the general outline of Shen Sangruo's matter from Immortal Lord Changli.
I am very puzzled by the current actions of that group.
“You don’t understand.” Immortal Lord Changli leaned against Immortal Lady Qingluan. “They call this a prodigal son returning home, suddenly repenting.”
“They really cared. The way they looked at us was as if they wanted to devour us alive.”
They didn't treat her well when she was alive, they did those outrageous things to her, and even endangered her life several times. Now they want her to go back?
"How despicable." Qingluan Fairy opened and closed her lips, slowly uttering two words.
Su Xiyu exclaimed "Huh?" with a disgusted expression, "They don't still think our junior sister can go back, do they?"
Bai Ruoan recalled how Feng Heyun and Lu Shiqing had broken down in front of them last time, and said seriously, "Very likely."
"Dream on," Ye Huai said coldly.
"Don't they know that Junior Sister's feelings for them have long been extinguished? What unrealistic dreams are they having?" Song Weiyan said sarcastically.
After thinking it over, Shen Sanruo realized that Lu Shiqing knew, but he had been deceiving himself and refusing to believe it. She guessed that, given his personality, he probably wouldn't tell anyone else about it.
“Most of them probably don’t know,” she said.
"What a pity." Song Weiyan shook his head. "We should have told them so they could give up completely."
“Don’t waste too much time on them; they’ll find out sooner or later,” Shen Sangruo said.
Her goal this time is the sect competition, so she doesn't have time to get entangled with them.
The group walked to the preparation area and sat down, waiting for the sect competition to begin.
"Next up is the elders' competition, Master, you'd better do your best," Song Weiyan said to Immortal Lord Changli. "Even if we don't steam buns, we should still try to prove ourselves."
It's not just for the grand competition; if they fight to the very end, they will inevitably clash with the Flying Cloud Sect's team, which includes True Person Lingxiao.
Even if Lingxiao Zhenren's strength surpasses Changli Xianjun's by a small stage, he cannot lose his momentum.
"What are you saying? It's as if I, this immortal lord, am bound to lose to him." Immortal Lord Changli rolled his eyes at Song Weiyan, clearly dissatisfied with his words.
Even without Song Weiyan's reminder, he would still have a good time with Lingxiao Zhenren in this elders' competition, and it would definitely be a big fight.
His disciple is not someone anyone can bully, not even Lingxiao Zhenren, who was once her master!
"Why are you only cheering for your master? I also have to participate in the elders' competition!" Wuwei Daoren said unhappily. "Is that old bastard standing at the front the sect leader of Feiyun Sect? I've disliked him for a long time."
A fierce fighting spirit also gleamed in the old man's eyes.
Everyone accurately identified their opponent.
"He is." Shen Sanruo nodded and raised her fist to Wuwei Daoist, "Go for it, Sect Master."
Then he looked at Qingluan Fairy, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Fairy, you can do your best too."
"Mmm," Qingluan Fairy replied softly.
Half an hour later, all the teams participating in the sect competition arrived at Fenglingtai.
The spirit voice loudly announces:
"The sect competition is about to begin! All teams, please prepare for the competition."
Then, a person appeared on the competition platform in the center of Fenglingtai, and her huge projection appeared in the sky at the same time.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The solemn and majestic voice of True Monarch Gu Ci, amplified by spiritual power, reached everyone's ears.
The Fengling Terrace fell silent immediately.
Ancient Virtuous Monarch is highly respected in the cultivation world, and she has presided over all the sect competitions in the past.
She continued, "Welcome everyone to this sect competition."
"The rules for the sect competition have been distributed to you."
With a wave of her hand, the Ancient Virtuous Monarch conjured a spiritual paper in everyone's hands, the words written with spiritual power shimmering with a faint light.
Shen Sanruo looked at the rules above, and they weren't much different from the previous year's.
There are three items in total, and each item is scored based on the ranking of the competition. The final ranking of the sects is determined by the cumulative points of each sect.
"I believe you have finished reading. I would like to remind you again that I hope all sects will abide by the rules."
"I won't waste any more words. Next, the elders' competition will begin."
"Please send the elders from each sect to the stage for the competition." Gu Ci Zhenjun pointed to the dozens of competition stages around her.
Multiple matches can be held simultaneously, which can speed up the process of the competition.
The rules of the elders' competition are that the sect leader leads two elders in a team competition.
The opponents will be randomly selected for the competition, and the winners will advance until only one sect remains.
The first place gets 15 points, the second place gets 10 points, the third place gets 5 points, the fourth and fifth place get 3 points, the sixth to tenth place get 2 points, and the eleventh to twentieth place get 1 point.
Ninghua Sect drew the Biyue Sect in the first round.
The Taoist Master Wuwei, Immortal Lord Changli, and Fairy Qingluan are about to enter the stage.
Shen Sangruo and the others cheered them on.
The three people sent by the Azure Water Sect were a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and two early-Nascent Soul cultivators.
The three members of Ninghua Sect were at different cultivation levels: Immortal Lord Changli was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Daoist Wuwei and Fairy Qingluan were both at the early-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
It can be said that its overall strength has taken a significant lead.
The people of the Biyue Sect thought they had gotten a great deal, after all, what kind of strength could a sect that couldn't even gather enough people have?
They're just here to give them points.
But when they faced the three members of Ninghua Sect and sensed their strength, they were completely dumbfounded.
Even with just a move from the Taoist Master Wuwei, the three members of the Biyue Sect were knocked off the competition stage in a single strike.
There were many teams competing at the same time, not to mention that the Flying Cloud Sect was competing in the same round as them.
Apart from a small number of people who focused on Ninghua Sect's decisive move, the vast majority of people were watching Feiyun Sect's team.
It takes ten years to see Master Lingxiao make a move!
The Flying Cloud Sect sent Shen Daochen, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Lingxiao Zhenren, and another elder at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
