Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 304 Unexpected
At the end of the day's competition, only four people were left in each group. For some groups, the winners were basically certain if nothing unexpected happened. In the evening, Yunmeng sent someone to invite Wuzhan.

Wuzhan arrived at the Ruixin Palace, and Yunmeng asked, "Sir, you promised to give an explanation to the Xiandao Academy. Do you have any suspects?"
Wuzhan replied: “Not yet.”

Yun Meng said: "This happened in my Huangshan, and the moves used were indeed my Huangshan's. It has nothing to do with my Huangshan. I don't know how you want to investigate, sir. I will fully cooperate with you."

Wuzhan said: "Master, please rest assured. Xiandao Academy is coming for me. If I can't provide sufficient evidence, they will bite me tightly and will not admit that it was Huangshan who did it."

Yun Meng said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but there are only three people in Huangshan who have this level of cultivation, including me. Although Senior Brother Linya is a bit straightforward, he is not someone who is easy to mess with. Junior Brother Jingxu was injured during the competition, so it couldn't be him. Then there is me. I was here communicating with Master Feijian and Master Shilifang until late last night. The two of them did not leave last night and can testify to each other. So I suspect that the Xiandao Academy deliberately framed you."

Wuzhan said, "It shouldn't be possible. There's no need for them to frame Longquan's most proud disciple. The murderer must be someone else. And the murderer didn't mean to frame me. He was just accidentally encountered by Longquan and his disciples. They were afraid that their tracks would be exposed, so they had to kill to silence them. Longquan must have escaped by luck."

Yun Meng exclaimed: "Sir, you said that the murderer was lurking in my Huangshan and secretly learned my Huangshan swordsmanship, but I can't understand why he did this?"

Wuzhan said: "That depends on whether there are any rare treasures in Huangshan and whether the murderer knows about it!"

Yun Meng pondered for a while and said, "How could there be any rare treasures in Huangshan? It's nothing more than the Thousand Peaks Sword passed down from generation to generation, and the sword technique 'Quan Feng Chao Ri' that has been passed down from generation to generation." He changed the topic and asked, "Could it be the work of the Ni Tian Sect?"

Wuzhan said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but the junior reminds the master to be careful. The murderer has only been alarmed and has not yet revealed his purpose. I think it will be soon."

Yun Meng said: "Thank you for your reminder, sir. I will definitely pay attention to it!"

After Wuzhan left, Yunmeng sat in a chair and fell into deep thought. The night was relatively peaceful.

……

On the fifth day, there was a competition for first and second place in each group. Luo Yuying from Group A miraculously defeated Shaohua and ranked first and second.

There was no suspense in Group B. Miaoxin finished first in the group as all her opponents gave up. Danxue finished second in the group as she only lost one game.

In Group C, Qin Moyao defeated Xiang Yuanxing and Miaohui with absolute strength, but Miaohui lost to Xiang Yuanxing and was eliminated.

In Group D, Yu Guizhou defeated Xu Bai of Yuliushan and won first place in the group, while Xu Bai came second.

In Group E, Xia Kexin gave up directly. The battle between Zhulang and Wei Ziyou attracted much attention because neither of them had ever fought. Wei Ziyou used his unique skills of Mount Lushan repeatedly to shock the audience, but they were all broken by Zhulang's sword. Finally, Wei Ziyou chose to admit defeat.

In Group J, Mu Lingxue and Yun Chu were both undefeated. People thought this competition would be very exciting. However, Yun Chu chose to give up. The reason was that even if she won, she would have defeated Yu Guizhou from Group E, and would have to face Zhu Lang from Group E in the end. It would be better to give up and save some trouble. The key point was that Yun Chu did not want to help Qin Moyao.

In Group G, Danpu defeated Hengshan Qiyi with absolute advantage.

In Group Xin, Bai Haotian defeated Changshan Leiyun, and Su Qiaoqiao was eliminated after two losses.

Disciples from famous families made it into the top 16, which was a decent bit of face and was also within expectations.

When the competition was over, Lie Feng came to Wuzhan and said contemptuously, "Sir, you have been sitting here peacefully for a whole day without checking the real culprit. Are you ready to admit it?"

Wuzhan said: "It seems that it is none of your business whether I check or not. If you are worried, you can check it yourself."

Lie Feng shouted angrily: "Do we still need to investigate? It's obvious that you are the murderer!"

Yun Meng came over and said, "Fellow Daoist, calm down. Since the master promised in front of everyone to find out the real culprit, he must have his own way. Fellow Daoist, just be patient for a few more days and you will know the result."

Lie Feng said: "Okay, if he runs away, I will definitely ask you for him in Huangshan!" After that, he waved his sleeves and left.

……

On the sixth day, there was only one venue in the center of the dojo, with a total of eight rounds, with eliminations taking place in turn, because from then on it would be a competition among the strong, and every round was exciting. Those who were eliminated did not leave, and although they could not go on stage, they could gain knowledge, which was of great benefit to their future practice.

What was unexpected was that Luo Yuying actually eliminated Huangshan disciple Dan Xue, and Mu Lingxue eliminated Lushan disciple Wei Ziyou. Although the two were also the masters of a sect, they were only small sects with a little fame. How could they be compared with Huangshan and Lushan sects with rich heritage? Moreover, Dan Xue and Wei Ziyou were already at the level of immortals. Looking around the world, how many such young immortals can there be? More importantly, the two had not shown such strength before, so how could they suddenly surge to such a level?

Yunmeng, Feijian and others had a vague guess as to what was going on. They looked at Ye Xiaoxiang who was dozing off with her eyes squinted on the other side. She was obviously not interested in the result.

Ye Xiaoxiang's purpose of coming here was very clear, he wanted to recruit famous families to join the Nitian Sect. Lie Feng had already revealed it when he appeared. The rapid increase in the cultivation of Luo Yuying and Mu Lingxue must be related to the Nitian Sect.

When the two joined the alliance, they were not taken seriously. After all, they were a small sect and were dispensable. But now they have to be taken seriously. If one of them wins the championship and is promoted to the leader of the alliance by extraordinary means, then this conference on Taoism will become a conference for joining the sect, and these famous sects will all be calculated by the Anti-Heaven Sect.

However, the two did not say anything, and others could not say anything. Fortunately, the next people they will face are Miao Xin of Taishan and Zhu Lang, a disciple of Mr. Li. It is certain that it will be difficult to defeat the latter two. Zhu Lang's opponent is Yun Chu, who gave up directly. Although she gave up, Yun Chu had not lost a single game, and her strength was still unknown.

The battle between Yu Guizhou and Xiang Yuanxing was the most intense, with constant cheers. Both of them used their unique skills and fought for more than a hundred rounds. Yu Guizhou narrowly defeated Xiang Yuanxing, which made Tianshan Sect Leader Xuelian look very unhappy because all her disciples were eliminated.

Bai Haotian's victory was overwhelming, and the Huashan School became famous. Xia Kexin cried out in joy. During the competition, she had been worried for a long time on the sidelines, and her tears were almost coming out. How could she not be excited at this moment? When Bai Haotian left the stage, she jumped in front of Bai Haotian like a skylark, and walked back holding his hand. It was very sweet. This was her choice, and her choice was very correct.

Wuzhan stood up to congratulate him. Huashan Xuanqing was very kind to him. Bai Haotian was so outstanding that he was no less pleased than the other Huashan disciples present. However, he did not want to tell them that he was still alive. He could only wish them the best in his heart.

In other matches, Miaoxin defeated Shaohua with his sword "Sunrise Soaring", Qin Moyao defeated Xu Bai with "Ten Thousand Valleys Flying Flow", and Danpu defeated Leiyun.

……

Just when Wuzhan was about to leave, he suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes behind Lie Feng staring at him. This was not a simple peeping, it was as if there was an invisible light that illuminated his entire soul, and it had a strong magnetic force that made Wuzhan feel as if he was carrying a mountain, as if his bones were pierced by needles, and he could hardly walk. This level of cultivation was no longer at the level of an immortal. Wuzhan felt the powerful pressure from the other party.

Wuzhan swayed twice and was about to fall backwards. Zhulang reached out to hold him up, not knowing why his master suddenly became weak. Yunchu was frightened when she saw that Wuzhan's clothes were soaked with sweat. She asked anxiously, "Master, are you okay?"

When Qin Moyao saw Wuzhan fainted for unknown reasons, she hurried forward and asked with concern, "Sir, why did this happen?" Yunmeng and Feijian also came over to ask.

Wuzhan leaned on Zhulang's shoulder and spoke after a long while. He said weakly: "Maybe it's a relapse of my old illness. I'll be fine after a rest. Zhulang, help me go back."

At this time, the man behind Lie Feng was heard to sneer. Qin Moyao looked over and saw that the man was wearing a white robe, with a handsome face and an imposing manner. From what she saw, he looked young, but if she looked carefully, she could see that he had a temperament that was definitely not what he should have at this age. He was extremely cold.

Qin Moyao could tell from his eyes that Wuzhan’s abnormal weakness was directly related to him. She glared at the man fiercely. After all, she didn’t know the truth and couldn’t question him.

Wuzhan walked back to the house with Zhulang's support. When he passed in front of that man, the corners of Wuzhan's mouth curved for a moment, but no one noticed.

The man in white saw Wuzhan approaching and said to Liefeng with a smile, "This kid is not as scary as you said. I just peeked at him and he became so embarrassed. Killing him is as easy as stepping on an ant."

Lie Feng said: "Sir, please do not underestimate him. What is scary about this kid is not his cultivation, but his brain. If I could kill him, I would have killed him long ago."

……

After returning to the house, Zhulang saw that everyone had left, so he whispered to Wuzhan who was lying on the bed, "Why did Master suddenly faint just now?" He always believed that Wuzhan was a powerful being and it was impossible for such a thing to happen without any reason.

Wuzhan opened his eyes and said calmly, "The man in white behind Liefeng is using his soul consciousness to spy on my cultivation. His soul consciousness is too strong for me to bear. If I guess correctly, he should be an immortal from heaven, and his cultivation is two realms higher than Liefeng's."

Zhu Lang said in fear, "Two realms higher, which means that person's cultivation is at the level of a Daluo Jinxian?"

"It shouldn't be bad."

Zhulang's eyes focused, "How could a Golden Immortal with such strength easily descend to the lower world? Are they going to take action?"

"It shouldn't be that fast. Maybe he is similar to Xu Shi, and wants to plunder some rare treasures in advance?"

Zhu Lang said: "Exotic treasures, where can they find the exotic treasures they want in the lower world?"

Wuzhan said slowly: "Some rare treasures are born from the womb, and they are not only found in the heavens. They only occupy one state, so how could they have all the scattered rare treasures? Moreover, it is not clear where many unknown ancient wars took place. Many rare treasures have become unknown after their deaths. For example, Taiyi's finger bones were salvaged from the sea by them."

"Is there any rare treasure in Huangshan?"

Wuzhan said, "I asked Master Yun the other day. Although he said no, I don't think his expression is true. Huangshan has such abundant spiritual energy, and Emperor Xuanyuan once lived in seclusion here. How could it be that simple?"

Zhu Lang asked, "Do you need to remind Master Yun?"

"I have already reminded him. Perhaps it is because of my identity that he is always wary of me. I originally wanted to convince these famous cultivators to fight for it when the 'holy war' comes, but I was wrong. They have become accustomed to a comfortable life and only think about immortality. When faced with injustice, they choose to endure it."

"Zhu Lang will follow Master till death!"

"And me!" Yunchu came in with the medicine and smiled. Although she only heard one sentence, it was what she wanted to say. She came to the bed and continued, "This is the medicine I made according to the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. Maybe the fire was too fast. Master, please taste it."

Wuzhan sat up and said, "I pretended to faint, otherwise that person might have been able to detect my soul power. You don't have to drink this medicine." In fact, he hated taking medicine. He had been taking medicine since he could remember, and he had been taking medicine for nearly twenty years. He didn't even know what bitterness was. Now he finally didn't have to take medicine anymore. You can imagine how he felt when facing medicine.
