NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17 - This Ground is Really Slippery
The expressions of the three sects’ elders changed.
They had already realized the seriousness of the matter.
Since Li Changshou had made such a Dao Heart oath, it proved that this matter was true!
The Embracing Moon Sect had indeed only recruited this one new person this year, and that was Xiao Ling’er. But this new person was too outrageous!
The cultivation of the fifth level of the Condensing Yuan realm, was this the cultivation one could have after just one month of entering the sect?
Even in those first-rate sects, there were very few such geniuses! Not to mention their third-rate sects. One month? A new person needing a year to reach the fifth level of the Condensing Yuan realm would be considered very lucky.
Being lucky was not enough.
Their ancestral graves would have to be struck by lightning and set on fire, and they would try to put out the fire but they couldn’t find.
Before they could think of a countermeasure, Li Changshou said again, “How is it? I have already made a Dao Heart oath. Do you still have any doubts?”
Silence.
What doubts could they have!
A Dao Heart oath had been made; this was not just talk unless Li Changshou didn’t want to live anymore.
But what should they do now?
They were once again in a dilemma.
The three sects’ elders were numb.
Damn it, why were there so many ‘tigers’ in a mere Embracing Moon Sect today, and they kept trying to trip them up, making it difficult for them to even step down?
Before they could speak, they heard Wu Xingyun say with a chuckle, “Hehe, Third Brother, you’re wrong. The Peach Blossom Sect, Eight Swords Sect, and Golden Eagle Sect are all big sects in this area. A word is a word. How could they have any more doubts?”
Duan Qingyao said, “Then why haven’t they sent anyone out to fight? Are they afraid?”
Wu Xingyun said, “Don’t talk nonsense. How could the talented disciples of the three great sects be afraid?”
She looked at the three sects’ elders with a half-smile, “Elders, what do you say… is that right?”
This was outrageous!
The three sects’ elders’ faces turned black.
How could they not see that Wu Xingyun and the others were putting on an act? But…
“What should we do?!”
They communicated through their spiritual senses, all feeling that this was a thorny issue.
“If we retreat like this, not only will the purpose of this trip not be achieved, but our own and our sects’ faces will be completely lost. On the contrary, it will make our disciples’ Dao hearts unstable…”
“But if we fight, I don’t see any chance of winning, and we will still lose face. Perhaps, we will even leave some disciples here.”
“This?!”
They were numb.
They were really numb.
But Wu Xingyun and the others took turns at this moment, some playing the red face and ridiculing, some playing the white face and flattering. Back and forth, they made the old faces of the three sects’ elders change continuously, even more wonderful than face-changing.
“This is outrageous!”
“How dare they humiliate us like this?”
“Fight!”
“Don’t forget, according to the agreement, each of our sects sends three people, which is nine people. In a wheel battle, we may not have no chance of winning.”
“That’s right. Moreover, the Eight Swords Sect has someone who came with existing cultivation this year and has already broken through to the Gathering Yuan realm. He is also a sword cultivator. First, let the other few people consume this Xiao Ling’er’s true essence, and then let your Eight Swords Sect take action!”
“With such a wheel battle, she will definitely be killed.”
“This is the only way. Although a wheel battle is not honorable, it is better than being ridiculed by them like this.”
“Good!”
They quickly discussed a countermeasure.
Elder Wang snorted coldly, “How could we be afraid?”
“Wu Xingyun, don’t be sarcastic. If you want to fight, then fight!”
“Originally, we were giving you a chance. After all, according to the agreement, our sect has nine people, and your Embracing Moon Sect only has one. Originally, we didn’t want to bully your Embracing Moon Sect, and we were preparing to cancel this agreed battle.”
“But you are bullying us too much, so don’t blame us for being impolite.”
“Oh?”
However, Lin Fan did not show any politeness and directly exposed them: “Don’t make excuses and waste time. Whether you want a wheel battle or to attack together, just make your move.”
Attack together?
When the three sects’ elders heard this, they really felt that this was reliable. But considering the issue of face, and with so many disciples watching, they could only give up.
“Stop trying to flatter yourself.”
“A mere Embracing Moon Sect disciple, what qualifications does she have to make our three sects’ disciples attack together?”
“So, you choose a wheel battle?”
Lin Fan chuckled. “Ling’er.”
“Yes, Master.”
Xiao Ling’er took another step forward. “Please!”
Although she was a woman, she was not afraid at all. Even in a wheel battle, there was no panic in her heart, only coldness in her eyes.
Those who humiliate my sect…
Should be punished!
At this moment, the three sects’ disciples also gradually realized what was going on.
Everyone could guess that Xiao Ling’er was not simple. Otherwise, their elders would not be so ‘shameless’.
If anyone could confidently defeat her in a one-on-one fight, the elders would not have proposed a wheel battle.
“Her… what is her cultivation?”
A new disciple at the third level of the Opening Xuan realm asked in a low voice.
“I don’t know.”
Within the Peach Blossom Sect’s camp, all the new disciples shook their heads.
They couldn’t see through her!
Some senior brothers from previous years had ugly expressions: “Condensing Yuan realm, conservatively estimated to be above the fourth level.”
“Ah? Even Senior Brother can’t see through her?!”
The senior brother: “…”
Don’t rub salt in the wound, okay?
I’ve cultivated for five years and I’m only at the third level of the Condensing Yuan realm! Even this is already considered top-tier in our Peach Blossom Sect.
Who knew why the new people were so monstrous now?
No, it should be said, how could a Embracing Moon Sect disciple be so monstrous?
Such a monstrous existence should have joined those top first-rate sects or even holy lands. Why would she appear in a small Embracing Moon Sect?
He muttered to himself, cursing his bad luck.
He had a vague feeling.
This time, the three sects were probably going to suffer a loss.
“Embracing Moon Sect, Xiao Ling’er.”
Xiao Ling’er cupped her fists slightly. “Which one will come forward to enlighten me first?”
Everyone: “…”
“No one?”
Xiao Ling’er looked at the Golden Eagle Sect disciple who had been shouting earlier. “Just now, it was this senior brother who said he wanted to snatch the first victory, right?”
“Please?”
The disciple’s mouth twitched.
But after all, he was still young and cared a lot about face. Even knowing that something was wrong, he still stepped forward with a dark face. “Afraid of you?”
At this moment, his own elder transmitted his voice through spiritual sense: “Be careful, this girl is not simple! Remember not to fight her head-on. Find a way to deal with her and just consume her energy. If you can’t defeat her, admit defeat immediately. Don’t ruin yourself!”
The disciple’s face became even uglier.
In other words, he had no chance of winning and was just cannon fodder?
He gritted his teeth. “Kill!”
Boom!
He angrily opened his profound gates. The cultivation of six profound gates was already not weak among the new students of third-rate sects. However, in Xiao Ling’er’s eyes, he was no different from an ordinary person.
With a simple acceleration, without any spell enhancements, it was just a punch.
“Ah!!!”
The difference in strength made the speed of the two sides vastly different.
With just a simple punch, the Golden Eagle Sect disciple couldn’t react at all. He was hit in one exchange, spitting blood and screaming, sliding back dozens of meters before finally stopping.
“Junior Brother.”
“Senior Brother, are you alright?”
The Golden Eagle Sect disciples were shocked.
The elder also had a gloomy face and fed him a pill, finally saving his life.
This disciple was extremely embarrassed, but he was unwilling to admit defeat. “I, I’m fine. It’s just that this ground is really slippery. Everyone, be careful.”
