Chapter 17: Slippery Ground
Chapter 17: Slippery Ground
The three elders' faces turned grim as they realized the gravity of the situation.
Since Li Changshou had made such a solemn Dao Heart Vow, it proved that this matter was indeed true!
Lan Yue Sect had only recruited one new disciple this year, and that was Xiao Ling'er. But this new disciple was just too outrageous!
A Fifth-Stage Essence Condensation Realm cultivation after just one month of joining the sect? Even in those top-tier sects, such Heaven's Pride are rarely seen! Let alone us, a third-rate sect, one month... Even if a new disciple takes a year to reach the Fifth Stage, it's still an occasion to burn high-quality incense.
Burning high-quality incense wouldn't be enough.
They'd have to have their ancestral graves struck by lightning, and when they tried to put out the fire, they'd find it impossible!
Before they could come up with a plan, Li Changshou spoke again, "How about it? I've made my Dao Heart Vow. Do you still have doubts?"
"..."
Silence.
Who would still have doubts now?
With the Dao Heart Vow spoken, it wasn't just empty words. Unless Li Changshou didn't want to live anymore.
But what should they do now?
Once again, they were stuck in a difficult situation.
The three elders were stunned.
Why was it that a small sect like Lan Yue Sect had so many 'tigers' today, constantly getting under their skin and making it difficult for them to back down?
Before they could speak, Wu Xingyun laughed and said, "Hehe, Elder San, you're mistaken. Taohua Sect, Bajian Gate, and Jinying Sect are all major sects in this region. Their words carry weight. How could there still be doubts?"
Duan Qingyao asked, "Then why haven't they sent people to take action? Are they afraid?"
Wu Xingyun replied, "Don't talk nonsense. As esteemed senior disciples of three sects, how could we be afraid?"
She turned to the three elders, her smile fading, "Elder, what do you think... is it not so?"
How unreasonable!
The three elders' faces darkened.
They could see that Wu Xingyun and the others were playing a game, but...
"What should we do now?!"
They communicated through divine sense, all feeling the difficulty of the situation.
"If we retreat now, not only will we fail to achieve our goal, but we'll also lose face with our sect. On the contrary, our disciples' Dao hearts may become unstable..."
"But if we take action, I don't see a clear advantage. We'll also lose face, and some of our disciples may even be left here."
"What?!"
Stumped.
Completely stumped.
Just then, Wu Xingyun and the others took turns to provoke them. Some mocked with sarcasm, while others feigned innocence, one after another, changing their expressions faster than a face-changer, making the situation even more entertaining.
"How unreasonable!"
"How dare they humiliate us like this?"
"Fight!"
"Don't forget, according to the agreement, each of our sects will send three people, making nine in total. With a rotating engagement, we might still have a chance."
"That's right. Moreover, Bajian Gate has a new disciple who has already broken through to the Essence Condensation Realm and is a sword cultivator. Let him tire out Xiao Ling'er's true essence, and then you, Bajian Gate, can take action!"
"With this rotating engagement, we can surely defeat her."
"That's the only way. Although the rotating engagement isn't honorable, it's better than being mocked like this."
"Good!"
They quickly discussed their strategy.
Elder Wang let out a cold harrumph, "Do you think we're afraid?"
"Wu Xingyun, stop being so ambiguous. If you want to fight, then fight!"
"We were giving you a chance. After all, according to the agreement, our sect has nine people, while Lan Yue Sect only has one. We didn't want to bully Lan Yue Sect, and we were even considering canceling this battle."
"But you've gone too far. We won't show mercy now."
"Oh, stop the preamble and save time. Whether it's a rotating engagement or all at once, just make your move."
“...”
All at once?
Upon hearing this, the elders of the three sects found it somewhat plausible but, considering their pride and the fact that so many disciples were watching, they had no choice but to abandon the idea.
"Stop flattering yourself."
"You, a mere disciple of the Moon Grasp Sect, what qualifications do you have to make us, the disciples of the three sects, attack together?"
"So, you’re choosing a rotating engagement?"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Ling'er."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Ling'er stepped forward again, "Please."
Though she was a woman, she showed no fear at all. Even in a rotating engagement, she remained calm and collected, her eyes cold and sharp.
Those who insult my sect...
Shall be punished!
At this moment, the disciples of the three sects gradually realized what was going on.
Anyone could guess that Xiao Ling'er wasn't simple, otherwise, their own elders wouldn’t act so ‘honorably’ if she were easy to defeat. If anyone could beat her in a one-on-one, the elders wouldn’t suggest a rotating engagement.
"What… is her cultivation level?"
A new disciple at the Open Profound Third Level asked in a low voice.
"Unknown."
In the Peach Blossom Sect camp, all the new disciples shook their heads.
She's a mystery!
However, an older disciple looked grim and said, "Essence condensation, at least Fourth Level."
"What? Even you can’t see through her?!"
The older disciple: "..."
Don’t bring up the things I can’t handle, okay?
I’ve been cultivating for five years, and I’ve only reached Essence Condensation Third Level! That’s already considered top-notch in our Peach Blossom Sect.
Who knows why the newbies are so monstrous?
No, it should be said, why is she, a disciple of the Moon Grasp Sect, so monstrous?
Such monstrous beings should belong to those top-notch sects or even holy lands, not a small sect like the Moon Grasp Sect.
He felt a sense of foreboding.
A vague feeling arose.
This time, the three Sects might be in trouble.
...
"Xiao Ling'er, disciple of the Moon Grasp Sect."
Xiao Ling'er bowed slightly, "Who will step forward to give me a lesson?"
Everyone: "..."
"No one?"
Xiao Ling'er looked at the disciple of the Golden Eagle Sect who had been shouting earlier, "Just now, wasn’t it this senior disciple who said he wanted to take the lead?"
"Please?"
The disciple’s lips twitched.
But being a young man, he valued his pride greatly, even knowing it might be unwise, he still stepped forward with a grim face, "I’m not afraid of you!"
Right at that moment, his elder used soul sound transmission, "Be careful, this woman is not simple!
Remember, don’t engage in a direct confrontation, try to outmaneuver her and wear her down.
If you can’t handle it, immediately admit defeat, don’t harm yourself!"
The disciple’s expression darkened further.
In other words, I have no chance of winning, I’m just cannon fodder?
He gritted his teeth, "Attack!"
Boom!
He angrily opened his Mystic Gates, his cultivation at the Six Mystic Gates level, which was already considerable among the newbies in the third-rank sects, but in Xiao Ling'er’s eyes, he was no different from the ordinary.
A simple acceleration, without any additional techniques, just a punch.
"AHHH!!"
The disparity in strength made their speed worlds apart.
Just a simple punch, the Golden Eagle Sect disciple couldn’t react at all, hit in a single move, spouting blood and screaming, sliding back dozens of meters before finally stopping.
"Junior Brother."
"Senior Brother, are you okay?"
The disciples of the Golden Eagle Sect were greatly alarmed.
The elder also fed him a pill with a stern face, ultimately preserving his life.
This disciple was embarrassed beyond measure, but his mouth refused to admit defeat, "I, I’m fine, it’s just that the ground is really slippery, everyone be careful."
