Chapter 34 - The Heartbroken Holy Maiden

Chapter 34 The Heartbroken Holy Maiden

Somewhere at the foot of Qiong Ming Peak was chosen as the venue for the spar between Jade Rabbit and Shen Xiangling.

That night when she was caught by Bai Lian, Jade Rabbit didn’t show her true abilities at all because she was afraid of Bai Lian and An Lan’s power.

Tonight was different. Under the temptation of the Thunder Sprout, the foodie rabbit made up its mind to end the battle quickly.

In order to not attract the attention of unrelated people, Jade Rabbit and Shen Xiangling restrained themselves from using moves with a large attack range.

This happened to give Jade Rabbit room to unleash its strength.

Initially, it still had to deal with Shen Xiangling for a while before it could get close. Now, it easily passed through the red fog in front of it and kicked Shen Xiangling, who had thrown out the long red silk, to the ground.

This change happened too quickly. Shen Xiangling fell to the ground and didn’t recover for a long time.

She had lost?

The most unacceptable thing was that the rabbit squatted on the rock and didn’t continue attacking, as if it was waiting for her to get up before fighting.

This meant that the rabbit didn’t treat her as a threat at all!

A great sense of humiliation surged in his heart.

Shen Xiangling received news from the sect elder an hour ago. The elder asked her to test Bai Lian’s strength in private.

When she suggested a challenge, the Sect Master of the Immortal Du Sect quickly agreed.

Shen Xiangling felt smug.

It wasn’t that she had never thought that she might lose to Bai Lian. After all, Bai Lian had the title of “natural saint”.

But to her surprise, she hadn’t even touched Bai Lian’s hand before losing to Bai Lian’s spirit pet…

A rabbit!

Moreover, she was beaten up by this rabbit!

Shen Xiangling’s mentality was about to collapse.

If her spirit pet was already so powerful, how strong was she herself?

Nascent Soul?

Moreover, it was very likely that she wasn’t at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

It had to be known that Bai Lian was only 18 years old!

She had finally become the Holy Maiden of the Azure Sect, but in the end, not only did she not narrow the difference between her and Bai Lian, but she also discovered that her strength was completely not on the same level.

Shen Xiangling felt despair. Her imagination couldn’t keep up with the speed at which Bai Lian became stronger. Even if the Holy Son of the Azure Sect came, it was impossible for him to be Bai Lian’s match.

Many years later, she would definitely be completely pressed under Bai Lian, who had grown up, and she would never be able to make a comeback.

Even the Azure Sect might not be able to escape such a fate.

“Ji ji!”

Jade Rabbit looked at Shen Xiangling lying on the ground in confusion.

It waited for a long time, but Shen Xiangling still didn’t stand up.

It should have won, right?

With this thought in mind, Jade Rabbit ran happily towards the top of Qiong Ming Peak.

At this moment…

In the main hall of Yun Luo Peak.

Jue Yunzi and the others were watching the battle between Jade Rabbit and Shen Xiangling intently.

The moment the Holy Maiden fell, the elders gasped.

“Too, too shocking!”

One of the elders asked Gao Yi, “You’ve interacted with Bai Lian several times. How strong is her true strength?”

Gao Yi shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know.”

He had already overestimated her as much as possible, but he realized that he had still underestimated her.

If the heavens didn’t give birth to Senior Sister Bai, the Immortal Du would be like a long night!

It was so terrifying.

Jue Yunzi smiled bitterly. “Perhaps only Junior Sister An Lan knows.”

“Hurry up and invite Junior Sister An Lan!”

Jue Yunzi said, “She left the Immortal Du Sect a few days ago. She said that she was thinking about something and suddenly planned to find another junior sister for Bai Lian in advance. I can’t contact her at all now.”

IIII

There were many question marks on the elders’ heads.

What was wrong with An Lan?

In the past 300 years, she was the only one on Qiong Ming Peak. Why is she so diligently taking in disciples recently?

Jue Yunzi shook his head. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Bai Lian’s actions are ultimately a little frivolous. She let her spiritual pet fight. This time, it’s a huge blow to the little girl from the Azure Sect. We should think about how to deal with it. That barbarian from the Azure Sect won’t let this

go!”

“This is indeed a headache.” Gao Yi frowned. “If only Junior Sister An Lan was here. Whether it’s reasonable or not, that barbarian would still want to avoid her.”

As they spoke, Shen Xiangling stood up shakily.

She wanted to turn and leave, but for some reason, she walked to the top of Qiong Ming Peak.

Jade Rabbit hugged a purple spiritual grass that flickered with electric sparks and nibbled around.

Bai Lian wasn’t idle either. She was focused on dealing with the malt candy in her hand.

“Why are you here?”

Bai Lian was stunned.

Could it be that she still wanted to challenge her forcefully?

She quickly realized that something was wrong. Shen Xiangling’s pupils dilated, and her eyes were dark. She looked like she had been played.

“Ah, this…”

It would be troublesome if she had traumatized the Holy Maiden of the Azure Sect!!!

Bai Lian felt a little guilty.

She looked around and pointed at the stone stool opposite her. “Sit!”

Shen Xiangling sat down.

Bai Lian hesitated for a moment before handing over the malt candy she had licked halfway. She would give the Holy Maiden some benefits first!

Shen Xiangling subconsciously received the malt candy.

She took a bite.

Crack.

Even the wooden stick holding the malt candy was bitten off.

Bai Lian reminded him, “You can’t eat the stick.”

“Oh.”

Shen Xiangling reached out and took out the broken wooden stick. She stared at the stone table in silence. After a long time, she asked, “Why are you so strong?”

Bai Lian nodded.

To be able to speak normally, it looked like the Holy Maiden had not been completely destroyed. She should still be able to continue using it.

Bai Lian said, “Good question!”

This was easy to settle. She could just brag about herself.

Of course, Bai Lian didn’t dare to tell Shen Xiangling the truth.

“Do you recognize this thing?”

Bai Lian pressed her heart.

“A girl…”

Before Shen Xiangling could finish speaking, Bai Lian interrupted her sternly. “It’s your heart!”

It was the Glass Heart gifted by the system!

Even if she was questioned by Shen Xiangling, who was much stronger than her, Bai Lian could still remain calm.

“You have mental demons!” Bai Lian spouted nonsense.

Shen Xiangling remained silent. Bai Lian’s eyes were really sharp.

She was embarrassed to mention this to outsiders. She almost couldn’t transcend the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation because of her mental demons.

Today, she suddenly lost to Bai Lian’s spirit pet. Her heart was already completely in a mess.

“In the end, cultivation is still about the heart. It doesn’t matter if your aptitude is poor, you just have to pile up resources. But if your heart is in chaos, how can you obtain true intent from the thousands of temptations in the world? How many geniuses have fallen in the three disasters because their willpower is weak?”

Shen Xiangling smiled bitterly. “I understand.”

Bai Lian said, “So you’re incompetent as a Holy Maiden, or rather, this false reputation has burdened you. Although you’re strong, in my opinion, you’re inferior to my junior sister who’s only in the Qi Refinement Stage!”

IIe

“My junior sister was born with a crippled spiritual root and underwent training, but she never thought of giving up…” Bai Lian began to brag.” My junior sister’s starting point is lower than all immortal cultivators, but I believe that under the guidance of this firm heart, in less than ten years, she will definitely shake the East Divine Continent and become an immortal cultivator stronger than me!”

Not only was Shen Xiangling stunned, but the elders who were still paying attention, as well as Xiao Jinse, who was tossing and turning in bed, were also stunned.

So, in Senior Sister’s eyes, she was actually such a powerful person?

Xiao Jinse’s heart trembled.

Senior Sister Bai was like a mother!

It was a long night, and she couldn’t sleep.

Shen Xiangling stared into Bai Lian’s eyes.

Those eyes revealed convincing sincerity.

But it was this gaze that suddenly made her feel unconvinced.

Was she inferior to Xiao Jinse?

No.

She wanted to prove it to Bai Lian.

Shen Xiangling stood up, and vitality returned to her eyes. “Let us wait and see in tomorrow’s competition!”

Eh, she hasn’t even started to mend the other party’s broken heart… Why did the other party suddenly return to normal herself?

Bai Lian was puzzled. She said, “Then let’s wait and see.”
