The unfortunate sect that was targeted was the Yuxing Sect.
The Yuxing Sect's departure was extremely grand, with twenty people leading more than twenty spirit pets. Their movements were much louder than those of other sects. If it were a matter of being easily discovered, they would certainly be the first to be caught. Of course, the main reason was that the Lianfeng Sword Sect's carpet search happened to be spotted.
As they approached, Shi Xuan instructed, "I'll return the favor and repeat our previous tactic. However, based on the situation last time, we can divide our men into two teams and intercept them from two different directions."
"Alright!" Lu Wenxing had been in a state of extreme excitement, and his eyes lit up when he saw that a fight was about to break out again.
The entire Lianfeng Sword Sect was filled with fighting spirit, and even He Weiqing, who was usually timid and quiet, began to be eager to try.
The nineteen people quickly split into two teams and waited in two different directions.
Just like last time, Shi Xuan directly flew down from the sky on his sword and dropped pills to attack, scattering their team.
The Yuxing Sect's forces were even larger, and with the addition of some uncontrollable spirit beasts, the explosion caused even greater chaos, with everyone scattering like birds and beasts, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
Meanwhile, the few people picking off the remaining enemies on the periphery were also busy having a great time. The disciples of the Yuxing Sect never expected that they would be defeated in this way.
Mi Sui felt a sense of inexplicable grievance. In the first match of the solo battle, she was eliminated by the demonic cultivator Fan Mingzhu, and in the team battle, she was defeated by Shi Xuan.
The moment he was blown away by the exploding pill, Mi Sui saw Shi Xuan riding a sword in the sky and immediately released his flying spirit pet, the Lightning Eagle.
The Lightning Eagle is the fastest flying spirit pet. It suddenly darted out and charged towards Shi Xuan. With its sharp beak, it looked like a dagger hurtling towards him.
Shi Xuan unleashed the Concealed Edge Sword to block the Lightning Eagle, while he descended at full speed back to Red Hair's side.
Everyone has a spirit pet. The Lightning Eagle's combat power is greatly reduced once it lands. One red-haired creature can take on five of them.
Seeing that Shi Xuan was about to descend, the Lightning Eagle was also very anxious and wanted to speed up, but the Concealed Edge Sword was right in front of it, attacking it from time to time. It also had to dodge the attacks of the Concealed Edge Sword, and its speed dropped suddenly.
When Lightning Eagle looked at Shi Xuan again, Shi Xuan had already landed on the ground. Beside her, a red-feathered creature the size of a small mountain was staring at it menacingly, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Lightning Hawk, realizing the difficulty, immediately turned back to Mi Sui's side.
Mi followed the Lightning Eagle and saw Shi Xuan standing there with Red Hair in the distance, looking relaxed, as if to say that it didn't matter who came, and they were ready to fight at any time.
Mi Sui really wanted to go in. He was so angry that his face turned red and his hair was about to stand on end after they were defeated. But when he looked at the terrifying spirit pet beside Shi Xuan, then at the sword in her hand, and then at the fact that there might be disciples of the entire Lianfeng Sword Sect around her to come to her aid... the difference in strength was too great. Going in would just be like offering himself up as food. It would be a waste of time. So he gritted his teeth and turned around to retreat.
Shi Xuan was still calling after him, "Hey, why are you leaving? Aren't you going to fight anymore?"
Mi retreated even faster, disappearing in a flash.
The audience outside was thoroughly amused and expressed great sympathy for Yu Xingzong's plight.
"Mi Sui's expression didn't seem to indicate that she wanted to thank Shi Xuan."
"Perhaps I was too moved, so moved that I almost cried!"
"Why don't we go to the exit and see if the disciples of the Yuxing Sect are very happy and moved?"
"They might get so agitated about being sent out that they'd want to hit someone, so be careful."
"Then forget it, let's just admire it from afar."
...
The Yuxing Sect's score dropped drastically, while the Lianfeng Sword Sect rose again, and was already in first place, now it is far ahead.
The disciples of Langya Sect and Luoyin Sect, who had not yet been attacked, knew what Lianfeng Sword Sect had done just by looking at the changes in the scores.
Both sects knew that Shi Xuan possessed the Exploding Pill and had taken precautions against it. Now that both sects had been attacked by the Lianfeng Sword Sect, they had further strengthened their defenses against Shi Xuan.
The two teams from the Lianfeng Sword Sect collected all the points from the Yuxing Sect and regrouped.
Lu Wenxing said cheerfully, "Junior Sister's method is simple and effective. Let's go fight... no, let's send the disciples of the next sect out."
"We will still send it, but this method is no longer suitable."
"Why?" Lu Wenxing asked, "It's so simple and effortless, it'll be over in a flash!"
“I think they must already be on guard,” Shi Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, “We need to try a different approach.”
"I'll do whatever Junior Sister says," Lu Wenxing said excitedly, with two streams of blood flowing down his nose.
Lu Wenxing felt something flowing down his nose, and when he reached out to wipe it, he realized it was his own nosebleed.
Shi Xuan noticed his unusual behavior immediately and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Were you injured in the battle just now?"
Lu Wenxing covered his nose and shook his head: "How could that be?"
"So how do you feel right now?" Shi Xuan asked.
“I feel…” Lu Wenxing paused, as if to experience it first, before saying, “It’s hot one minute and cold the next…”
If it's not due to injury, then it can only be due to the individual's own condition.
"Don't resist," Shi Xuan probed a little into Lu Wenxing's meridians with his divine sense and found that there was indeed a conflict between fire and ice in his body. There was a fire spiritual power and a cold spiritual power clashing, to the point that they were incompatible.
Looking closer and expanding the scope of the search, wait a minute? Second Senior Brother... he seems to have gained an additional ice spirit root!
In the past, when she increased her spiritual roots, it was because she was struck by lightning or blown by the wind, there was always a reason. As for her second senior brother, Shi Xuan was certain that he had never come into contact with any ice-attribute spiritual power since they entered the secret realm.
So where did his spiritual root come from?
But the most urgent task now is to solve the problem inside his body; investigating the cause can wait.
Lu Wenxing looked rather unwell; the conflict between the ice and fire spiritual roots could be fatal if not handled properly.
Shi Xuan quickly took out two pills that she had previously refined to stabilize her spiritual root and gave them to Lu Wenxing.
It seemed like this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he probably had no idea what was wrong with him.
After taking two pills, his condition was temporarily relieved, and his two spiritual roots gradually recovered.
But these are only temporary. Having an extra spiritual root, and one that clashes with it, is a problem that must be solved, or there will be endless troubles.
Lu Wenxing recovered quickly and immediately became energetic again. He jumped up and down a couple of times and said impatiently, "Junior Sister, hurry up! We should go and escort the next sect member out safely!"
Gu Liangce stared at him with a dark expression. The people around him hadn't even looked away from their worried gazes yet, and he was already in a hurry to beat someone up...
