Finally, Bai Mumu's frost power was just one step away from being fully accumulated!
Song Weiyan also made a move at this moment.
However, to almost everyone's surprise, amidst the intense attention, Song Weiyan took off running as fast as she could and recklessly headed out of the arena.
And a voice drifted on the wind: "Who wants to fight you? Do you think I'm stupid?"
All the cultivators and sects were dumbfounded.
Only Zhu Huaqiao and Chen Zhouxing nodded, expressing their high praise for such behavior, and agreeing that it resonated deeply with their thoughts.
Bai Mumu's eyes were also filled with astonishment and disbelief.
In the final round of the sect competition's individual disciple contest, Song Weiyan actually chose to desert?! Doesn't he fear bringing shame upon the Ninghua Sect?!
His timing was impeccable; he stepped off the stage just as Bai Mumu finished charging up her power.
The rules of the competition stipulate that if one side falls off the platform, the competition ends and they can no longer continue attacking.
Song Weiyan gave a sly smile, "It's a real pity that I didn't get to witness Fellow Daoist Bai's ultimate killing move!"
She had spent countless spiritual energy to accumulate this move, only to be told that her opponent was gone and her move was useless.
Just like before, she tried so hard to win him over, but in the end, she failed at the last minute.
Bai Mumu felt a surge of anger rush to her head, burning away all her reason.
"How dare you play me!"
She will not let him go! Today, Song Weiyan must die by her hand!
The accumulated frost storm, carrying a biting cold, immediately swept towards Song Weiyan!
The sudden turn of events caused many people to gasp in surprise.
When Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren saw her so openly violating the competition rules, their expressions both changed.
In the end, Bai Mumu did not manage to harm Song Weiyan in the slightest.
Her frost storm was easily stopped by the Ancient Virtuous Lord who was guarding her side; with just a wave of his sleeve, the storm dissipated.
"Insolence!" Gu Ci Zhenjun's voice was calm, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.
The overwhelming pressure caused Bai Mumu to instantly collapse to the ground, powerless to resist, and slowly brought her back to her senses.
Song Weiyan patted her chest, still feeling a lingering fear. "That scared me to death! I have no grudge against Fellow Daoist Bai, why did you want to kill me?"
"I'll handle this matter. You can go back and wait a bit."
"Alright." Having received Gu Ci Zhenjun's signal, he quickly left this place of trouble.
The next moment, two streams of spiritual energy shot out simultaneously, neutralizing the pressure from the Ancient Virtuous Monarch, and Bai Mumu was finally able to stand up.
But her face was filled with resentment and venom. Everyone in Fenglingtai watched as she was forced to the ground. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?!
"This is my daughter's first time participating in the sect competition. She is unfamiliar with the rules and hopes that True Lord Gu Ci will forgive her." Shen Daochen landed in front of True Lord Gu Ci.
Lingxiao Zhenren helped Bai Mumu up and took her away from the competition platform.
This behavior made Gu Ci Zhenjun frown, his expression clearly displeased.
The dissatisfaction with Bai Mumu has escalated to a dissatisfaction with the entire Feiyun Sect.
Bai Mumu's disregard for the rules was bad enough, but these two followed suit and acted recklessly.
"The rules in the spiritual book are written clearly and plainly. Could it be that Sect Master Shen's daughter is illiterate?"
Ancient Ci Zhenjun held an extremely high position in the cultivation world and was not afraid of the power of the Flying Cloud Sect, so naturally he would not give Shen Daochen any face.
“Young people can act impulsively all the time.” Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Daochen couldn’t lash out, so he could only continue to make excuses for Bai Mumu.
Under no circumstances should we allow Gu Ci Zhenjun to actually punish her.
"As the young sect leader, she acts so recklessly. Is this Sect Leader Shen's principle for employing people? I would like to remind Sect Leader Shen not to ruin the future of a sect because of personal feelings."
Gu Ci Zhenjun's calm expression revealed no emotion.
The last sentence, however, implies that Shen Daochen gave Bai Mumu preferential treatment.
Shen Daochen was always seen as fair, just, upright and incorruptible, but after being spoken to like this by Gu Ci Zhenjun, a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"There's no need for True Monarch Gu Ci to worry about the Flying Cloud Sect's affairs."
"I certainly have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Flying Cloud Sect, but I am in charge of all matters related to the sect competition," Gu Ci Zhenjun replied coldly.
"Since Sect Master Shen is protecting her so much, then so be it. Her mistakes will be borne by the entire Flying Cloud Sect. As for how you handle things internally, that's up to Sect Master Shen to decide."
"The Flying Cloud Sect violated the competition rules. As punishment, future team competitions for its disciples will be subject to corresponding restrictions." The voice of True Monarch Gu Ci was amplified by spiritual energy to every corner of Fengling Platform.
The scene immediately erupted in an uproar.
This punishment is crucial to the outcome of the sect competition, so it cannot be considered insignificant.
Since the Flying Cloud Sect began participating in the sect competition, it has never been punished for violating regulations, let alone for such a severe punishment.
This is a great disgrace to the Flying Cloud Sect.
The members of the Flying Cloud Sect all looked grim, and their gazes toward Bai Mumu were filled with dissatisfaction.
"The Flying Cloud Sect accepts the punishment. If there are no other matters, I will leave." Shen Daochen said with a stern face.
"Please go ahead."
He snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves back to the Flying Cloud Sect's preparation area.
No matter what, Bai Mumu earned fifteen points for the Flying Cloud Sect, and she is his biological daughter, so it is only right that he protects her like this.
As for the punishment, Bai Mumu was leading the team in the team competition, and he had confidence in them, so it was not worth mentioning.
But after turning around, he heard the discussions among the cultivators, and Shen Daochen couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased.
The words of True Monarch Gu Ci involuntarily came to mind: "Hmph, Mu Mu is the young sect leader he carefully selected. His judgment is never wrong."
Perhaps there's a reason behind it? He's seen through Bai Mumu's character.
Thinking this, his gaze inexplicably drifted towards the direction of Ninghua Sect.
No matter how much Shen Sang acts up, it's only within the Flying Cloud Sect. But Bai Mumu is so inconsiderate at such an important occasion as the sect competition...
How will she react to this?
Are they gloating, thinking he should have chosen her as the young sect leader instead?
However, the truth is that Shen Sanruo didn't even glance in their direction, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.
She was watching Song Weiyan vividly recount what had happened during the competition, listening with great interest.
Shen Daochen's face suddenly darkened, and he turned his head back, thinking, "You heartless thing."
The second group's final ended in such a dramatic way.
Thanks to Bai Mumu's loss of rationality, not many people discussed Song Weiyan's "desertion in the face of battle".
"Oh dear, I just said it casually, who knew she had such a weak mentality and got so agitated right away." Song Weiyan said with feigned helplessness, "You have no idea how terrifying the look she gave me was."
"The restrictions on the Flying Cloud Sect team competition can be considered a slight compensation for the five points I lost."
"It's alright, I'll go and get those five points back right away," Shen Sangruo said with a smile to Song Weiyan.
It's a blessing that Song Weiyan returned safely.
