The Formidable Woman in White
"Gentlemen, Lang Sandao is willing to step onto the stage and fight me for a woman. Don't you, who all want to marry the princess, want to show your strength? Or are you afraid of losing?"
The woman in white spoke softly, but her tone carried an unprecedented arrogance and provocation.
However, the cultivators present did not go up on stage but instead whispered among themselves.
This woman in white is a Nirvana expert, and they are not masters like Lang Sandao who have already achieved that level, so naturally they dare not go on stage.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a masked man stepped onto the arena.
The woman in white smiled as she saw the newcomer and said, "These days, are there still people who come to Yunluo Island to participate in a martial arts contest for marriage, but dare not show their true faces?"
The masked man said, "My name King Yashan. I'm sure everyone here has heard of me."
These words immediately drew gasps of surprise from the crowd below the arena.
"King Yashan, one of the four great kings of the Backer Sect, is said to have fallen off a cliff while seeking enlightenment on Yashan, which disfigured his face. However, he also grasped the true essence of the Backer Sect and eventually became a King and Marquis. I didn't expect him to come here."
"The Backer Sect is the only Human Race Half-Saint power in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Profound Continent. Even they couldn't resist Princess Miao Yu's charm?"
"..."
A glint of excitement flashed in the white-clad woman's eyes. "Finally, a worthy opponent! I'd like to see if you're good enough for my princess."
"I'm not here to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband; I'm just here to broaden my horizons."
The King Yashan spoke in a very calm tone, yet it gave people a sense of unshakeable authority.
Below the arena, Chu Feng heard the name "Backer Sect" and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "I didn't expect there to be Backer Sect in the Profound Continent."
"Brother, the Backer Sect is just a small force; it's normal that you haven't heard of it before."
Great Sage Golden Wing did not take the Backer Sect seriously.
This casual conversation between the two stunned Kong Yi, who was standing nearby.
Although the Backer Sect is not a holy land, it is no less powerful than Yunluo Island.
Such a powerful sect is nothing but a nobody in the eyes of these two. Could they be from a holy land?
Important figures from the Holy Land would not appear in such a small setting.
Kong Yi now understands that the white-clad woman's appearance on stage today was to help Princess Miao Yu filter out those who were not qualified to participate in the martial arts contest for marriage.
After all, on such a lively occasion, there's no need for some nobodies to go on stage.
"We are both King and Marquis, and we are not able to fully utilize our abilities here. How about we fight in the air?"
The woman in white was not intimidated by the other party's identity; instead, she smiled and asked.
"Can."
After saying this, King Yashan leaped into the sky, followed closely by the woman in white.
Everyone's gaze followed the two as they looked up at the sky, and soon, the sounds of fierce fighting echoed from above.
The two fought fiercely for an hour.
The King Yashan descended from the sky onto the arena, followed closely by the woman in white.
The former bowed to the woman in white and said, "Your magical power is extraordinary, Fairy. Yashan, am humbled and admit defeat."
After speaking, King Yashan stepped down from the arena, and the crowd felt even more respect for the woman on the stage.
The woman in white said, "Let me rest for a moment. You can send someone to continue the challenge later."
No one objected to this. This arena competition was a series of battles, and everyone was already at a great advantage by taking turns fighting such a fairy. If they didn't even give her time to rest, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
A moment later, the woman in white regained her energy and spirit, and soon King and Marquis from a Half-Saint power stepped onto the stage to fight her.
Several hours later, it was dawn.
The woman in white defeated three King and Marquis in succession, shocking countless people.
Even the people from the sacred site on Yunluo Island were alarmed.
In a tavern opposite the Heroes' Platform, a middle-aged man looked at the woman in white on the stage and said indifferently, "This Yunluo Island is really interesting. They say that everyone has a chance to participate in Princess Miao Yu's martial arts contest to find a husband."
"By doing this, isn't she clearly telling the world that her Princess Miao Yu will only marry the Great Sage?"
His attendant said, "The Seventh Prince is absolutely right; the women of Yunluo Island are just not very bright."
The Seventh Prince continued, "Have you found out exactly how many holy land forces have come to Yunluo Island this time?"
The attendant respectfully reported, "Seventh Prince, there is your eighth cousin from the South Sea Dragon Palace, the young patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and the young patriarch of the Great Peng Clan."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince subconsciously narrowed his eyes and muttered, "It seems there are quite a few people who want the Phoenix Essence!"
The attendant laughed and said, "Those fellows are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs. With your intervention, Your Highness, who in this world, except perhaps Saint, can rival you?"
The Seventh Prince was quite pleased with his attendant's flattery, but still smiled and said, "You're going a bit too far. Even Saint can't rule the world without stepping out of the Qiankun; I can only call myself the second Great Sage."
The attendant said, "Although the Great Sage Qiankun is only Half-Saint, everyone regards him as Saint. Therefore, the Great Sage in the world should be you."
The conversation between the two in the tavern went unnoticed by anyone.
All eyes were on the arena, quietly awaiting the appearance of the next master.
Seeing that no one had come up on stage for a long time, the woman in white laughed and said, "It seems that the guys who came to participate in the martial arts contest to choose a husband are nothing special. I advise you to just watch the show quietly and not come up on stage in a while. If you can't even beat a minor King and Marquis like me, what qualifications do you have to compete with a group of Half-Saint?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Golden Wing subconsciously nodded slightly. Although the little girl's words were sharp, they still held some truth.
His actions were witnessed by the woman in white on the stage.
"You, the one with the golden feathers on your head, you also think what this fairy says makes sense, don't you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes turned to Chu Feng and his group.
Great Sage Golden Wing never expected that this little girl would actually draw hatred towards him.
However, he wasn't afraid of anyone's gaze. "That's absolutely right. Those King and Marquis shouldn't interfere on the Half-Saint Stage."
"Cut..."
A chorus of discontent erupted from the surrounding crowd.
"You act like some Great Sage."
"So you're just like everyone else, here for the fun."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Golden Wing couldn't help but chuckle, saying with a smile, "I am indeed here to join in the fun, but even King and Marquis are not worthy of my attention."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it; his words only made the people around him even more unhappy.
"Since you're so strong, you must be invincible. Why don't you come up on stage and let us see your strength?"
"Exactly, exactly. We don't think there's anything wrong with what you said; we just want to broaden our horizons."
"..."
As everyone chimed in with their opinions, Great Sage Golden Wing was about to unleash his overwhelming power, the white-clad woman on the arena spoke first, "Fellow Daoist, since you are so confident, how about letting this fairy witness the True Essence of the Great Dao?"
The room fell silent after he finished speaking, everyone looking at Great Sage Golden Wing with schadenfreude...
