“Oh my god, he actually won.”
“That’s impossible. How did he win? Zhao Jun is two levels higher than him.”
“Maybe Zhao Jun underestimated him, or maybe he has some special magic treasure.”
They weren’t the only ones who were shocked. Even the major sects on the platform were shocked.
Su Qingyun’s expression changed slightly when she saw who she was fighting. She murmured, “So it’s him.”
The other disciples were curious. One of them asked, “Why? Junior Sister Su, do you know this person?”
Although Su Qingyun was the last to enter the sect, she was quite talented, and her cultivation progress was extremely fast. Therefore, she was heavily nurtured by the Yaochi Holy Land and became the youngest and most favored Junior Sister.
Su Qingyun’s expression was a little complicated, but it soon turned indifferent. She replied, “This man was once my fiancé. Later, I came to break off the engagement. In a fit of anger, he made me agree to fight a decisive battle with him in a year’s time.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately revealed disdainful looks and gazes.
“Does he think he’s worthy of you? How dare he think of getting Junior Sister Su without taking a good look at his status? He’s simply delusional.”
“This kind of person really doesn’t know his own limitations.”
“What kind of ability does he have? And what kind of ability does Junior Sister Su have? She doesn’t even need to use her full strength to deal with him. The so-called one-year agreement is just asking for humiliation.”
After listening to Su Qingyun’s story, everyone took it as a joke.
After all, Lin Yuanheng was now at earth rank level six or seven, while Su Qingyun was already at sky rank. There was a huge gap between the two of them, a gap that he would never be able to surpass.
The other sects also treated it as a joke and looked at Lin Yuanheng a few more times. Even Ye Xuan entered their field of vision.
Li Zhe from the Misty Illusory Manor was so shocked that he almost stood up from his chair. He gritted his teeth and said, “Senior Brother, this is the person. He was the one who injured me the last time.”
Bai Haoyu’s expression changed slightly, but he still looked at Ye Xuan without saying anything. He asked, “Are you sure? Don’t get the wrong person.”
Li Zhe recalled what had happened last time and how he had been miserably defeated by Ye Xuan, and his expression turned a little ugly.
“There’s no mistake. I’ll recognize him even if he’s turned to ashes.”
These days, the Misty Illusory Manor had not given up on searching for the whereabouts of that stone. After all, it could possibly come from the Penglai Immortal Island and was extremely important to them.
But there were so many people in the capital, and they had no idea of Ye Xuan’s origins or whereabouts. Finding him was like finding a needle in a haystack. Just as they were about to give up, who would have thought that they would actually run into him at the sect returning ceremony?
At the same time, Mo Jianming was also shocked.
Wasn’t this the young man who had given him the soul-returning pill that night?
He was probably too agitated, so much so that his Sword Qi leaked out. Although it was not easy for others to detect it, it could not escape He Jiantian’s eyes.
After all, his cultivation wasn’t low, and he was quite accomplished in the way of the sword. He couldn’t help but look at Mo Jianming curiously.
“What’s wrong, Elder Mo?”
Mo Jianming quickly calmed down and replied, “Nothing.”
He couldn’t go to find Ye Xuan rashly. As the grand elder of the Sword Sect, it was suspicious for him to look for a low-level cultivator in public. He had to find another time.
Ye Xuan didn’t know that in such a short time, he had already been remembered by several people.
He had considered the possibility of being recognized at the sect returning ceremony, but he had disguised himself very well when he went to the auction, so no one had seen his true appearance.
Apart from the powerful old man who had saved him, Ye Xuan observed the other person. The old man’s eyes were clear, just like the cold sword intent on his body. He didn’t look like a rascal who would act out of line.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin! You didn’t see the faces of those from the Green Peak Sect just now, but you’ve helped us get back at them. Let’s see if they’ll dare to be so arrogant again.”
Lin Yuanheng received a warm welcome from the people of the Tai Qing Sect. His victory was undoubtedly a cardiac stimulant, which was injected into everyone’s bodies. They were now also full of confidence for the next competition.
Because of Lin Yuanheng, the entire Tai Qing Sect suddenly emerged and was noticed by other sects. The others could not help but start to pay attention to the Tai Qing Sect’s battles.
After all, only by knowing one’s enemy and oneself could one win every battle. However, what happened next shocked everyone again.
Except for Lin Yuanheng at the beginning, the rest of the people of the Tai Qing Sect had never fought an opponent, and no one could win.
“I thought they had a lot of power, but it seems like they’re only mediocre after all. I guess they were lucky to be able to defeat Zhao Jun from the Green Peak Sect.”
“I’m dying of laughter. With this kind of strength and standard, they still have the nerve to participate in the sect returning ceremony.”
“Your cultivations are so low that you can’t even compare to us who are outer sect disciples. I think you’d better go back and cultivate. Don’t make a fool of yourself here.”
On the other hand, the Green Peak Sect, who had lost the first round, did not dare to underestimate their opponents anymore. They won continuously, forming a sharp contrast with the crushing defeat of the Tai Qing Sect.
“You guys won against our eldest senior brother. Even if you win, it’s an unfair victory. You must have used some despicable means. How shameless.”
“This is a real fighting arena. You won’t be able to use those crooked ways. Soon, you’ll reveal your true colors.”
The people from the Tai Qing Sect clenched their fists when they saw the arrogant Green Peak Sect trying to slander them. One of them from the Tai Qing Sect said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Our Senior Brother Lin clearly won with his own strength.”
The people from the Green Peak Sect laughed out loud, “I think this strength you’re talking about is just you relying on your tricks. You’ve lost so many rounds, so your strength is obvious. If you have the ability, then win one round for us to see.”
The people of the Tai Qing Sect couldn’t say anything to refute them. In fact, they had been losing all this time, and they had lost all their confidence. Now, facing the provocation of the Green Peak Sect, they were in no mood to deal with it.
