ring
"Haha, boss is right. Didn't you show us your true colors before? Let us see it too, and see how it feels to touch it?"
Just as Nan Yi stepped onto the suspension bridge, several piercing sounds suddenly rang out from ahead.
He looked up and saw three people opposite him. The one in the lead was covered in all sorts of treasures, making him look like a walking treasure trove.
The two boys following behind him stood on either side, constantly echoing his words, clearly the lackeys of the leader.
Mingxing usually strolled around the Wanxiang Pavilion. Today, he wanted to see if there were any new and interesting items in the pavilion, but he unexpectedly met a stranger.
No, he's not human yet, just a fox, a beast, Mingxing thought casually, tossing the money pouch in his hand.
The money bag made a rustling sound. In addition to carrying many spatial rings, he especially liked to carry ordinary bags that made the sound of spirit stones colliding.
He had disliked the fox opposite him for a long time. Ever since his father mentioned that the sect leader had taken another fox as a disciple, his anger had been simmering ever since.
He had always wanted to become the sect leader's disciple, not only because of her strength, but also because she was the sect leader of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Once he became her disciple, what else would he have to worry about? He could do whatever he wanted within the sect.
Just a few years ago, when his father brought him before the sect leader, he thought he would receive the praise he had heard since childhood, but to his surprise, the sect leader only said that his character was not yet sufficient and she would not accept him.
From that time onward, he even developed a certain aversion to the sect leader. She didn't even glance at him twice before making such a judgment; she was simply blind.
So a few months ago, when he learned that the sect leader had taken on another disciple, he couldn't wait to get the disciple's information.
Only then did they realize that their new apprentice wasn't even human, but a fox.
He looked again at the face before him, which was exactly the same as the portrait he had received months earlier—
It was a face that evoked a strong sense of destructiveness in him.
It's a pity that the fox had been hiding behind the Wuxiang Palace and hadn't come out, so he hadn't been able to find an opportunity.
He gestured to the people around him with his eyes.
Another disciple immediately understood his meaning and shouted towards the opposite side, "What? You don't even dare to show your true form? You foxes are too cowardly, you beasts really are..."
A whooshing sound suddenly rang in his ears. The disciple who was speaking subconsciously looked up and saw a huge shadow about to crash down on him.
He had always followed Mingxing and had never seen things like this before. Within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, most disciples knew that Mingxing had Elder Ming's backing, and therefore treated him with some respect.
For some unknown reason, he suddenly looked in Nan Yi's direction, but all he saw were a pair of extremely indifferent eyes, seemingly devoid of any other emotion.
This sent a chill down his spine.
Standing at the forefront, Mingxing swiftly pulled out a defensive magic artifact from his spatial storage, powerful enough to withstand the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was particularly adept at this.
But whether he forgot or not, the defensive artifact only managed to hold him back.
Just as the fox tail was about to strike, a voice came from afar, "Junior brother! Stop right now!"
The fox tail paused for a moment, but then slammed down on the two stunned people with unstoppable force.
Then, Nan Yi seemed to hear a faint sigh, and immediately afterward, he found that his fox tail could no longer move even an inch.
The two disciples, who had been waiting with their eyes closed, opened them after a long wait for an attack and found a blue lotus at the very bottom of the fox's tail.
Despite her small size, Qinglian bravely held up the entire fox tail.
The two men didn't care who the other person was; since he had come to rescue them, they immediately cried out, "Senior Sister! Don't let him go! He's going to kill us!"
But Chu Li did not look in their direction; instead, she landed lightly beside Nan Yi.
As soon as the voice rang out, Nan Yi knew who it was, but it was precisely because he knew who it was that his expression was so bad.
He said very softly, "Senior sister, are you going to stop me?"
If this weren't within a sect, someone as reckless and arrogant as the person opposite would have died countless times at his hands.
“Junior brother, you are new to the Myriad Elephant Sect and may not know that if you fight within the sect, you will be punished by being sent to your domain to reflect on your mistakes, or even expelled from the sect.”
Judging from the strength her junior brother just displayed, those two were doomed. If she hadn't arrived just in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The rules of the Wanxiang Sect will not make exceptions for anyone.
Nan Yi didn't know why, but at this moment he felt like laughing. Because they were from the same sect, he let the other party say such things.
The fox clan is more accustomed to solving problems through physical action.
A strange sense of disappointment welled up inside him. It seemed that the senior sister of the Myriad Manifestations Sect was nothing special after all, only good at smoothing things over among the disciples.
“There is another option: you can send him a challenge letter and have him fight you fair and square on stage.”
There are often frictions between disciples within the sect, but the Myriad Manifestations Sect usually does not allow disciples to resolve them privately. Therefore, they have set up a special challenge arena, where only battles using domains are permitted.
The challenge arena is not far from the Myriad Elephants Pavilion, and it is a place that many disciples often go to.
At this moment, a rare pair of people were standing on the ring.
"Look, isn't that Mingxing?"
Some familiar faces quickly attracted many disciples.
As Elder Ming's son, Ming Xing already had a certain reputation within the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Furthermore, he had a penchant for robbing people's treasures, and many disciples had been bullied by him.
However, due to his father's influence, most of the disciples simply considered it bad luck and avoided him whenever they saw him in the future.
So seeing him on this kind of challenge arena is a very rare thing.
Everyone was curious about who was so bold as to bring him directly onto the stage.
Mingxing is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If it were just a competition, most people present wouldn't be afraid of him. What they fear is the powerful backer behind him.
"The face across from me looks so new, are they newcomers?"
"No wonder, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. This new disciple probably has no idea about Mingxing's background."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but it did not affect the slightly tense atmosphere on the stage at all.
Mingxing never expected that this person would have such courage to challenge him, but he was never afraid of any challenge, especially since the other party was only at the same Foundation Establishment stage.
The Wanxiang Sect's arena requires battles to be fought using domains; anyone who violates this rule will be considered defeated. He has been in the Wanxiang Sect since childhood and has learned countless domains.
The fox had only been there for a few months and might not even have learned the domain yet. A smug smile appeared on his lips. He was sure to win this arena battle!
But just as his smile appeared, a dark and enormous scene suddenly unfolded before him.
The only bright spot in the scene is the raging flame at the very center.
How is that possible? How could the other side be able to build a domain so quickly?
The flames spread rapidly throughout the area, like wildfire.
Mingxing could already feel flames approaching him. He gritted his teeth, quickly recovered from his shock, reached into his spatial storage, took out an object, and threw it out.
Chu Li stood at the edge of the arena, looking up. The arena was already shrouded in a domain, making it almost impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.
That's how battles in a domain work; only those within the domain can see everything clearly.
Many disciples standing further out waited anxiously for the outcome of the duel between the two.
Who will win?
If the new disciple wins, will Elder Ming stand up for his son?
Chu Li suddenly frowned at this moment. If she wasn't mistaken, someone inside must have used...
However, this arena is meant for disciples to display their true strength, and the use of external objects is always prohibited. Otherwise, wouldn't those with considerable wealth be able to suppress others at will on the stage?
A loud bang suddenly rang out on the stage, instantly drawing everyone's attention. The dark area vanished, revealing two figures inside.
As the smoke cleared, Nan Yi stood calmly on the stage, his enormous fox tail swaying gently behind him, though the fur on it was slightly disheveled.
On the other hand, the other person was not so lucky. His face was blackened by the explosion, half of his hair was burned off, and his clothes were burned with many holes.
The difference in skill between the two was immediately apparent, leaving many disciples below the stage speechless with shock. This new disciple was truly audacious…
Not only did he win, but he also beat Mingxing into such a state. Didn't he know that Mingxing was particularly vengeful?
Although winning was enough for Mingxing to remember this victory.
But at this moment, Mingxing's face was full of disbelief. He clearly... clearly used it... but why couldn't he resist the opponent's domain?
"I want to report him! He violated the rules!"
A finger was extended, pointing in Nan Yi's direction. Nan Yi sneered, flicked his fingertip, and a spark suddenly exploded a few inches in front of Ming Xing's finger.
Mingxing almost instinctively withdrew his hand, but when he didn't feel any warmth, he immediately realized that he had been tricked.
A venomous glare swept across the other side. After this battle, he would never forget this fox. He was determined to expel him from the sect!
Nan Yi naturally saw the malicious look in those eyes, but he was never afraid. If he had to back down even to someone like that, his mental state would probably have been shattered long ago.
Upon hearing Mingxing's voice, a commotion erupted below. The disciples, knowing Mingxing's character, were not entirely convinced by his words.
Chu Li stepped forward, but before she could speak, Ming Xing interrupted her, saying, "I don't believe you. You two are in cahoots. You'll definitely side with him."
Chu Li gazed at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Alright, then who would you like to be the judge?"
Mingxing rolled his eyes. "Let Elder Xi come. She happens to be the elder in charge of the Enforcement Hall."
Elder Xi...
The Enforcement Hall is a place within the Myriad Manifestations Sect specifically for punishing disciples who violate regulations. In principle, the elders residing there are all impartial individuals.
But coincidentally, this Elder Xi is the only elder in the Enforcement Hall who is on good terms with Elder Ming.
“Okay,” Chu Li quickly agreed, then whistled, and a crane swiftly landed in front of her. She patted the crane’s head, “Go find the sect leader and let her witness this together.”
Fang then said to Mingxing, "Nanyi is, after all, the sect leader's disciple. It's not against the rules to have the sect leader come and take a look, is it?"
"Then I need to get my dad here!"
"Please go ahead." Chu Li nodded slightly. This kind of situation—bullying others outside only to be killed in return, and then having to call in elders for support…
They deserve a good lesson.
The world is so big, it won't always be useful to find his father.
But Mingxing was completely unaware of this at the time. After careful consideration, he realized that Elder Xi was on good terms with his father and would definitely stand on their side.
The sect leader was also reasonable and knew that her father was an indispensable elder in the sect—even if the other was her disciple, she would always weigh the two.
His father would definitely side with him, so it was clear that he would win.
The disciples below looked left and right, but they still couldn't understand why a fight would have to involve the sect leader and two elders.
Furthermore, that new disciple is actually the sect leader's eighth disciple, as rumored some time ago?
Some of the female disciples thought to themselves, "As expected of someone from the fox clan, their faces are even more exquisite and beautiful than those of us women."
I wonder if this person already has a partner, and if not, do they have any chance?
To everyone's surprise, the first to arrive was the sect leader.
Her first glance was at Chu Li, and seeing that Chu Li was alright, she breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Upon receiving the news, fearing something might have happened to Chu Li, she immediately used spatial teleportation and became the first to arrive.
The other two arrived soon after, and greeted the sect leader with a cupped-hand salute.
