Yi Taiqing smiled, while Ying Xuanzi's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "How do you know?"
Ying Xiaoxiao is his daughter. It's naturally uncomfortable for both her father and the sect leader to hear Xiang Yun say to her face that she will lose.
" Qingzhu was just testing Ying Xiaoxiao's abilities, trying her best to force Ying Xiaoxiao to use all her strength."
"Didn't you see that Qingzhu was only using the Green Lotus Sword Song over and over again?"
"And Ying Xiaoxiao, she should have already used the Three-Flower Heavenly Dipper Sword, the Heavenly Cloud Sword, and the Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Sword... Doesn't her frequent changes in moves mean she's not doing well?"
Xiang Yun chuckled, "Do you really think Qingzhu only knows the Green Lotus Sword Song?"
Ying Xuanzi also fell silent.
After all, they've been dealing with the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace for so many years.
Naturally, they knew that the Green Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace was not just the Green Lotus Sword Song.
Then Ying Xuanzi looked at Xiang Yun.
Ying Xiaoxiao could tell that Ling Qingzhu's cultivation level had only just entered the Three Yuan Nirvana stage when she arrived.
He could naturally see it too.
Now, the Nirvana Qi within his body is almost overflowing, clearly indicating that he is forcibly suppressing the breakthrough.
Only a few days have passed.
Ling Qingzhu was going to the Desolate Hall every day, which means that Ling Qingzhu's situation was entirely due to Xiang Yun.
This Xiang Yun guy is not only strong himself, but he can also help others cultivate?
'He is powerful himself and can also help others cultivate...'
Ying Xuanzi wondered to himself when the Primordial Hall would possess such martial arts.
Or rather, this type of martial art is extremely rare.
While some martial arts do conform to the principles of Yin and Yang, most of them are unorthodox martial arts that involve either absorbing Yang energy to replenish Yin or vice versa.
Or perhaps, there is indeed a legitimate Yin-Yang principle.
But it's not that efficient!
If everything Xiang Yun said before is true, then it is indeed necessary to clarify things with Hong Wuji and Yi Taiqing as soon as possible.
Now, because of Xiang Yun and Ling Qingzhu's relationship, the two sides have become somewhat allied.
Moreover, the Dao Sect now needs something from Xiang Yun.
'trouble.'
Ying Xuanzi actually didn't have much aversion to having connections or even alliances with the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace and the Primordial Hall.
They even said they were happy to see it happen.
After all, the pressure on the Dao Sect from the Yuan Sect was simply too great.
The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, a force no less powerful than the Dao Sect, has been wavering between the Dao Sect and the Yuan Sect.
If an alliance could be formed with the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, then the strength of the two sides' high-level leaders would be balanced.
If the Primordial Hall is added, its strength is already comparable to that of the Yuan Sect.
However Ying Xuanzi wanted the Dao Sect to take the lead in this alliance, and in his view, it was only right and proper, as the Dao Sect was the strongest among the three parties.
But now it seems...
Once an alliance is formed, the Primordial Hall will likely take the lead.
It's obvious that Yi Taiqing will support the Primordial Hall because of Ling Qingzhu.
As for Hong Wuji, who is brainless, he naturally wouldn't have the brains to manage these things.
Needless to say, this alliance will definitely fall into Xiang Yun's hands.
I'm alright.
If we wait until the next generation, they'll probably be completely controlled by Xiang Yun, and the Dao Sect might not even exist anymore.
We'll have to discuss it with Xiaoxiao and Huanhuan later.
At this point, the outcome of the match on the stage was about to be revealed, and the cheers from both sides gave a general idea of the result.
The cheers from the Dao Sect disciples grew quieter, while those from the Primordial Hall grew louder, sounding as if Ling Qingzhu were a disciple of the Primordial Hall.
Because Ying Xiaoxiao was already in a very difficult situation.
"If that's all there is to it, you've already lost."
Ling Qingzhu spoke calmly, the wind from the sword blowing past her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and a slight smile on her lips.
The next moment.
A clear shout rang out.
" The Green Lotus Blossoms!"
The longsword in Ling Qingzhu's hand hummed, and azure light rapidly condensed on its blade.
What was originally just a phantom image of a budding blue lotus suddenly bloomed at the tip of the sword.
The petals unfolded layer by layer, each one wrapped in an extremely sharp sword light. Azure light burst forth from the center of the flower, cutting through the surrounding air with a fine hissing sound.
Ying Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted, and she spun her long sword rapidly.
The sword flowers of the Heavenly Dipper Three-Flower Sword condensed once more, and the three sword flowers arranged in a triangular formation in front of him, attempting to block the blooming blue lotus.
But the moment the Azure Lotus made contact, the three sword flowers couldn't even withstand a moment's pressure. They were crushed by the petals and vanished into countless fragments of azure light in the air.
Ying Xiaoxiao's expression changed, and she retreated rapidly.
At the same time, he swung his longsword swiftly, and the Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Sword shot out, dozens of thunderous sword beams slashing towards Qinglian with a booming sound.
The lightning sword beams struck the lotus petals without leaving a trace. The lotus continued to fly towards Ying Xiaoxiao at its original speed, and the air currents generated by the spinning petals plowed deep trenches into the arena floor.
Ying Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and poured all her Yuan Power into the longsword. A dazzling blue light burst from the tip of the sword. That was her last resort, the strongest move of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture that she now possessed.
The Clouds Break and Heaven Opens.
With a thrust of the sword, a pillar of azure light struck the blue lotus directly.
The blue lotus paused slightly, its petals closed for a moment, and then suddenly burst open.
The exploded lotus petals transformed into countless sword beams, pouring down on Ying Xiaoxiao like a torrential rain.
Each sword beam precisely bypassed her vital points, landing on her shoulders, arms, thighs, and waist.
In the blink of an eye, Ying Xiaoxiao had more than a dozen bloody marks on her body, her clothes were torn, and blood was seeping out.
The force of the sword's impact sent him flying backward, his feet leaving two long tracks on the arena.
Finally, he knelt on one knee and planted his long sword in the ground to barely steady himself.
The arena was completely silent.
Ling Qingzhu sheathed her sword and stood there, the blue light flowing around the blade before dissipating.
"Thank you for your kind offer."
Ying Xiaoxiao raised her head, finally letting out a bitter smile. She leaned on her longsword to stand up, cupped her hands, and said, "I have lost."
The steward, regaining his senses, quickly announced loudly, " Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu wins!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the disciples of the Primordial Hall erupted in thunderous cheers.
" Fairy Ling is mighty!"
"No wonder the young master has taken a liking to him!"
" The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is also excellent!"
Many disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace also cheered.
Especially those disciples who had a decent relationship with Ling Qingzhu, all wore smiles on their faces when they saw their Young Palace Master defeat the senior sister of the Dao Sect Heavenly Hall with overwhelming force.
Ying Huanhuan stood below the stage, her little face puffed out.
Although she was somewhat unwilling, there was nothing she could do; Ling Qingzhu was indeed stronger than her sister.
She turned her head and glanced at Xiang Yun sitting on the seal. The guy was propping his chin up with a smile on his lips, which made her even angrier.
On the other two peaks, the arenas with stakes of seven yuan or more and those with stakes of four to six yuan also saw their victories decided.
The first place winner with a score of seven or above was Ning Chen from the Primordial Hall. In the finals, he encountered Yuan Fang from the Dao Sect Heavenly Hall, and the two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds.
Finally, relying on the fifth level of the Primordial Battle Body and the explosive power of the Battle Body Totem, Ning Chen punched Yuan Fang out of the arena.
The first place winner among those ranked four through six was Hong Bin of the Primordial Hall, the son of Hong Wu.
In the finals, he blocked the sword attack with his Battle Body Totem and then unleashed a close-range burst of power.
He defeated a Six Yuan Nirvana disciple of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace within three moves.
The top three finishers across the three levels are Ling Qingzhu, Hong Bin, and Ning Chen.
