The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 205 Bad News

"Feng Ling, I lost...!" The woman in green had just returned to the entrance of the VIP seating area from below the dueling arena, looking utterly dejected, when she saw the man in purple who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Let's go watch the match of their last four core disciples."

Seeing Feng Yuqing hugging himself in a dejected state, Feng Ling smiled gently. He could sense the immense blow the other was suffering, so he didn't offer any meaningless words of comfort.

After staring blankly at the dark passage for a long time, until he caught a glimmer of light shining in front of him, Feng Ling continued his analysis in a deep voice: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!"

"Know yourself... know your enemy..."

A hundred battles...
...Not doomed!?

After these words were spoken, they seemed to have a magical power, constantly buzzing in Feng Yuqing's mind. Then, a faint but tenacious glimmer of dawn gathered in the depths of her heart.

"Mm." Immediately afterward, the tears glistening in the green-clad woman's eyes disappeared, and she nodded heavily, following the purple-clad man into the VIP seating area.

"Boom—!" As soon as Feng Ling and his companion entered through the soundproof wall of the VIP seating area, they heard a series of deafening explosions. They exchanged a glance and quickly took their seats in the back row.

"Hiss! Senior Brother Qiu Bai is actually this powerful?"

As soon as he sat down, all the core disciples around him gasped in shock, and even many elders looked on in horror. As for the inner disciples below, they were already in a daze.

"A single sword to quell the sea!?" The purple-clad man glanced over instinctively and let out a soft exclamation, while the green-clad woman, with a complex expression, looked on in horror. Countless chaotic currents of energy filled the dueling platform, which stretched for a hundred meters in radius.

The white-clad man, standing in mid-air, held a windless blade that shone with a bright blue light. With a cold expression, he manipulated a medium-sized hurricane with a diameter of five meters, tightly strangling and chasing the scarred man who was sometimes blocking and sometimes dodging.

Indeed, it was Li Tian fighting Xiang Qiubai!
These two are practically sworn enemies. They almost got into a fight when they were on stage for a short segment. Now that it's their turn, they're bound to fight to the death.

"Bang!..."

Smoke billowed and sparks flew as the relentless hurricane swept and ravaged, each time it was about to reach flesh and blood, forcing the scarred man to turn back and take the hit head-on, leaving him scrambling and disoriented.

Although occasionally terrifying sword energy would narrowly miss the white-robed man, Xiang Qiubai easily dodged them, clearly indicating that he was still in a state of ease.

"Holy crap! If this continues, isn't Senior Brother Li Tian doomed to defeat?!"

Seeing that the incredibly powerful hurricane was unharmed by the sword light, many of the shocked inner disciples struggled to their senses and cried out in alarm.

The "One Sword to Stabilize the Sea" before us, judging from its appearance alone, is infinitely more magnificent than the one Xu Peng displayed back then.

Not to mention,
The power dynamic between the two.

It’s just...

They're worlds apart!
"Old Liu, your Qiu Bai is probably stuck at the peak of the tenth level, right?"

Just as everyone was staring intently at the stage, the Third Elder turned his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and uttered a sentence. The kind-faced old man who heard the words smiled but remained silent.

"Congratulations, Elder Liu!" Immediately, all the core disciples and elders in the VIP seats seemed to have thought of something and secretly cast envious glances at Elder Liu.

The purple-clad man sitting in the back row had a sudden inspiration. He subtly channeled his spiritual energy onto Xiang Qiubai, and after sensing him for a moment, he whispered to the green-clad woman beside him, "Yuqing, just watch this battle closely!"

"..."

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Feng Ling turned his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Feng Yuqing held her breath, her eyes wide and jewel-like blue, staring intently at the battle unfolding on the field.

Clearly, they were completely engrossed in watching!

"Phew, it seems I was overthinking it!"

Feng Ling exhaled a breath of white air into his palm. He had been worried that Feng Yuqing might see Li Tian being beaten senseless by Xiang Qiubai and then think of "himself" being defeated by Li Tian in one move, which would cause her to have negative emotions.

……

"When will he make his move after the core disciple competition ends?" Just as all the elders were watching the fierce battle on the dueling platform, a man looked at the Jade Purity Sect Master with a glint in his eyes. "Is it tomorrow?" Judging from the progress of the competition, the four remaining core disciples with late-stage tenth-level cultivation—Wu Ye, Xiang Qiubai, Leng Ningshuang, and Li Tian—will have their final result revealed by this evening.

Yesterday at noon, the Jade Purity Sect Master secretly summoned Ling Weiyun's clone and several tenth-rank elders, including Liu Yidao, to the Jade Purity Hall to discuss the plan to eliminate evil.

The initial plan was to take action within three days after the core disciple competition concluded.

However, Feng Ling always felt that the Jade Purity Sect Master had hesitated to make a move before because he seemed to have some concerns, or more accurately, because some emotion was holding him back.

"Whoosh...!" A cold wind brushed past his hair, and then all the sounds outside suddenly ceased. The man in purple was completely calm.

If anyone had noticed him at that moment, they would have found him sitting there blankly, seemingly lost in thought. Unfortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the two core disciples who were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Hey, Mr. Tong! Are you still there?"

"What are you up to now? Didn't I tell you not to bother me if you have nothing to do?"

The moment the thought entered the sea of ​​consciousness, an impatient voice rang out, carrying a hint of annoyance.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask about the specific cultivation levels of the Grand Elder and the others, and whether there are any other hidden experts within the Jade Purity Sect?"

His spiritual energy coalesced into a physical form within his sea of ​​consciousness, and Feng Ling was like a curious child. He had never imagined that someone as uninterested in anything would one day pester others with questions.

"You mean them?" A mental fluctuation emanated from the small island at the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, and then an old man with green hair stepped out from the magical old tree on the island.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Tong waved his hand, and several familiar old faces appeared in front of the man in purple.

"Hmm!" Seeing the purple-robed man nod repeatedly, the green-haired old man closed his eyes, frowned, sensed for a moment, and then disappeared into the old tree.

"White-haired, peak of the twelfth level; black-robed, mid-stage of the twelfth level; white-robed, early-stage of the twelfth level!"

Just as Feng Ling was about to ask a question, Elder Tong's voice slowly came out: "Besides the man in the purple-gold crown in front of us, there is another legendary expert of the fourteenth level within a ten-mile radius. I cannot detect his exact location with my current cultivation level."

"Fourteenth level!?"

Feng Ling's heart was filled with shock. A super strong person, whether friend or foe, was hiding nearby. Compared to the Grand Elder and others, he was even more shocked that they could conceal their true cultivation level in front of the Jade Purity Sect Master.

"In addition, you should also pay attention to that core disciple with a full head of blond hair in the audience. I sensed something strange about him."

"Blonde man?"

Upon hearing this, the man in purple calmed himself down. Then, following the other party's instructions, he sensed the direction and saw a blond, wild man sitting upright on a futon, resting with his eyes closed.

"Hiss~, Elder Tong, are you talking about Wu Ye?"

The man in purple glanced at the wild man with a strange expression using his spiritual power before suddenly asking a question. If even Wu Ye, the personal disciple of the Jade Purity Sect Master, was hiding his true abilities, then this was truly terrifying.

If Wu Ye is "righteous," that's fine, but if he's "evil"...

Within the Jade Purity Sect,
It will probably become even more chaotic!

For some reason, although the two had only met a few times, judging from their daily words and actions, Feng Ling firmly believed in his heart that Wu Ye was the right person.

"..."

Feng Ling's heart was in his throat, but there was still no response. Unable to contain his doubts, he called out again, "Hey, Elder Tong, Elder Tong...!"

"Alright, stop yelling! You little brat, why are you so annoying? I need time to calm down and recuperate!"

Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
