It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

When it comes to the feud between Qu Yingshao and Bai Yingting, it goes back many years.

About 40 years ago, Bai Yingting was only about years old at that time, representing Xunfei Holy Land to participate in the "Four Saints Meeting". At that time, Qu Yingshao was already a well-known immortal, and also one of the six talismans of Hexu Holy Land, holding the tiger talisman.

She was attending the 'Gathering of the Four Saints' as the leader of a team of immortals. After all, it was a grand ceremony that took place once every three hundred years. It concerned the reputation of the major holy places and no one would take it lightly.

Qu Yingshao was one of the best among the six value symbols at that time. He was only half a step away from reaching the peak of the Five Spirits Bloom Realm and being promoted to the Six Qi Root Realm.

The elders were naturally reassured to have her leading the Hexu disciples to participate in the ritual and discussion.

But at that 'Four Saints Meeting', the Hexu Holy Land lost all its face...

There is no other reason.

Bai Yingting was only 40 years old, but she had already reached the Four-star Realm. This was nothing special, and we could only say that Bai Yingting was a genius girl. But what was extremely excessive was that she used the 'White Scale Sword' behind her to block the most critical blow in a crucial battle with the most outstanding disciple of the Hexu Holy Land.

Since she did not draw her sword at that time, she was declared the winner.

But Hexu would not agree... The disciples were filled with righteous indignation and were making a big fuss. Worried about what might happen, Qu Yingshao came up with a plan. She found Bai Yingting and asked her to take off the White Scale Sword and fight the disciple again. Hexu Holy Land would not care whether they won or lost.

This is actually a good idea.

The victory or defeat is not counted, the fighting process is guaranteed to be fair and just, and the venue is chosen by Bai Yingting. The most important thing is that those who are unwilling to fight will be willing to accept it, and no trouble will be caused, thus damaging the harmony between the two holy places.

Although Qingyan and Cangze dynasties are hostile, the four holy places are still quite special as a somewhat detached existence. Just like the 'Jufang Jiuzhushi' can freely play the two dynasties, it can be said to be a privilege.

As long as you are strong enough, you will definitely have various privileges.

Back to Qu Yingshao's mediation, her approach was relatively fair, but she did not know the situation of the Four-Colored Scale Clan at that time.

It was still in the confidentiality stage at that time...

Generally speaking, the status of the White Scale Clan was threatened by the Black Scale Clan. This was because the previous generation White Scale Clan leader, Bai Yingting's mother, was seriously injured after returning from a place.

Although I concealed it and lied about having a minor illness.

However, the Black Scale Clan leader followed him to that place, so he knew that the Demon King was seriously injured, and it was very difficult to heal. Coincidentally, Bai Yingting was very young, and when the Black Scale Clan realized this, they had their own ideas and ambitions.

The White Scale Clan was naturally not unaware of this. After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Bai Yingting's mother often reminded her, and the sentence she reminded her the most was... Yingting, from today on, you cannot leave the sacred weapon of our clan, the 'White Scale Sword', with you for a moment.

Bai Yingting kept her mother's words in mind, so she carried a sword wherever she went.

When the Four Saints met in Huiji, Qu Yingshao asked her to take off her sword and give it to someone else for safekeeping. How could she agree to that? She rejected it on the spot.

Bai Yingting is a genius girl.

But as a forty-year-old immortal in Xiaju Realm, you can see how hard he works. Just think about how old Shengsheng is now?

This can be seen.

Bai Yingting spent almost all her time on cultivation. She was not good at the ways of the world and she was not interested in them. She just wanted to become stronger to help her mother.

so what......

At that time, Bai Yingting's tone of refusal was very blunt.

How abrupt was it? When she heard that the other party wanted to unsheathe the sword herself, she frowned and said only one word - get out!

Who is Qu Yingshao?

The head of the White Tiger Clan, one of the six Hexu symbols, at the age of 800, he was already a peak immortal in the Five Spiritual Realm, and a senior leader. How could he tolerate being yelled at by Bai Yingting to get out in front of countless Hexu disciples and other holy land disciples?

"I have heard that the White Scale Sword is a recast of the ancient Demon-Slaying Sword, and it is extremely powerful and invincible to all demons... Today, may I ask for your advice?"

Qu Yingshao, who is the fifth supreme immortal, calls himself "inferior" in front of the fourth immortal, which shows how weird he is.

She had lost all her face at that time, so how could she not save herself?

Moreover, the White Tiger Clan, as a large tribe of caterpillars, has been declining since her great-grandfather's generation. She is ambitious and vows to bring the White Tiger Clan back to its peak!

If I were to be scolded and leave by the four juniors today, I would probably become a laughing stock when I return.

For various reasons, Qu Yingshao asked for a fight.

In order to prevent people from accusing her of bullying the weak, she allowed the other party to use the powerful sword, the Demon-Slaying Sword! This way, even if she won, no one would be able to say anything.

but.

What Qu Yingshao never expected was...

She lost!

Bai Yingting, who was in charge of the fourth question, drew out the Demon-Slaying Sword and beat her without any chance to fight back. Can you believe this? Not to mention her, even He Xu and the disciples of Tongwu Holy Land who were watching from the audience at that time did not dare to believe it... After all, they were from the Qingyan Dynasty. They were a million miles away. How could they understand the horror of the Demon-Slaying Sword just by hearsay?

Otherwise, why have the White Scales been the most respected clan since ancient times? The Black Scales are not weak at all, and there is a peerless immortal king born. In terms of the overall strength of the entire clan, they have actually surpassed the White Scales clan long ago.

It’s a pity that I have the White Scale Sword in my hand... I have to accept it no matter how reluctant I am!

Although this fight was entirely due to the power of the White Scale Sword and had little to do with Bai Yingting, there is no glory for the loser, and if you lose, you lose.

Besides, it would be fine if the disciple lost the duel, but it would be a shame for the whole sect if the Six Value Talismans you led lost to a small disciple. For this reason, Qu Yingshao took the initiative to resign from the Six Value Talismans status and returned the Tiger Talisman.

But later, her eldest daughter, Nie Baitao, fought hard and took it back.

Of course, that’s a story for another day.

Anyway, at that time, Nie Yingshao was subjected to all kinds of ridicule and neglect. Her former good friends and relatives also left her one after another. Only a few of them did not despise her and continued to associate with her.

Sometimes.

Blessings often go hand in hand with misfortunes, and misfortunes often go hand in hand with blessings. It was because of this pressure that the arrogant Que Yingshao was able to break down and then stand up again. Soon after, he broke through to the Six Qi Roots Realm.

In the years that followed, she had a fortuitous encounter. When she was a thousand years old, she had already achieved the pinnacle of Jufang Yunlu - the Fire-Dwelling Spirit Immortal.

An immortal who surpasses ordinary immortals!

At the age of 1160, he participated in the "Nine Pillars Discussion" held once every thousand years, won the eighth pillar, and was named one of the Three Dukes, becoming the current "Gong Gong" Qu Yingshao.

But...

It was during that "Millennium Discussion" that Qu Yingshao and Bai Yingting had their second feud.

And they became mortal enemies.

......

Bai Yingting was just over 400 years old that year.

A hundred years ago, she relied on her natural talent to achieve the Five Spirits Bloom Realm. This realm requires a deep understanding of the Five Elements, while consolidating the foundation of the Five Qi and creating the Three Huas... Eventually, the Three Flowers gather at the top of the head, the Five Qi converge, and a fairy root is cultivated.

This step is very time-consuming.

Countless peerless geniuses throughout history have had to slow down at this step, because the Five Spirits Realm is all about laying a solid foundation and having a thorough understanding of the Five Elements.

Otherwise, if you want to grow the "immortal root" in the future, it will be a foolish dream.

Chapter 159.5: Guanghan Palace is cold, Su'e is chilled (283/)

Logically speaking, a 300-year-old who has reached the Five Spirits realm is already a rare genius.

Bai Yingting was indeed prepared to take steady steps, consolidate her foundation step by step, and comprehend the five elements. But that year, something unexpected happened...

The previous Demon King of Cang Ze, Bai Yingting's mother, died suddenly.

According to the treatment at that time, because Lou Xiang found a rare herb, Bai Yingting's mother's injuries had been controlled and began to improve...and just when Bai Yingting was full of joy and thought that her mother could recover, the bad news came.

It was said that the Demon King's injuries broke out and he passed away.

Upon hearing the sad news, Bai Yingting almost collapsed, but fortunately Lou Xiang, who was worried about her safety, arrived in time and barely saved her. Later, Lou Xiang took Bai Yingting away under the pretext of medical treatment, but in fact secretly told her that His Majesty seemed to have expected it and left a suicide note.

He was responsible for handing over the suicide note and related items to Bai Yingting after the other party died suddenly.

Prime Minister Lou was born into the Spirit Turtle Clan and has always been loyal to the White Scale Clan. He will certainly not let the late emperor down in taking on this important task.

After bidding farewell to Lou Xiang, Bai Yingting carefully read her mother's suicide note and learned who the potential enemies were.

Simultaneously.

The mother also told her in the letter that she had used a secret method to shed all her spiritual power and preserved it in an elixir, hoping that her daughter could rely on this object to protect herself in the face of countless dangers.

Bai Yingting was not the type of person who thought, "I don't want to inherit a huge fortune. I want to work hard to prove myself." She took the elixir left by her mother as a matter of course. After decades of digestion and practice, she naturally entered the realm of asking the six qi roots.

In the following decades, he crossed the three small realms of 'Juding', 'Yangming' and 'Genshen' and achieved the peak of Qi root!

When he was four hundred years old, Bai Yingting, who had been preparing for the millennium discussion, stepped in.

After my mother died...

She needed the reputation of the Nine Pillars to protect the prestige of the White Scale Clan, and she needed the status of the Nine Pillars to help her clear the obstacles and ascend the throne.

Bai Yingting carried the White Scale Sword on his back and fought against powerful enemies along the way.

Because her own cultivation and realm were similar to those that were forcibly grown through irrigation, she seemed to understand a lot of things, and had only seen and heard about the elixir left by her mother, but had not comprehended them thoroughly... Therefore, her foundation was not solid.

It can only be said that he has barely reached the promotion standard and cannot be compared with those Qi Gen realm cultivators who have been immersed in silver for a long time.

Such a gap was also fully exposed when they used their respective magic skills in the fight.

But, in the end, Bai Yingting still won all the way.

To find out the reason, all the immortals who fought against her could only sigh:

——The White Scale Sword, I am not as good as it is.

However, in the thousands of years of discussion, it is natural to win with immortal arts and magical powers, but it is also acceptable to win with spiritual treasures. After all, in the late stage of cultivators fighting, the importance of spiritual treasures has far exceeded ordinary immortal arts.

Bai Yingting relies on the White Scale Sword, there's nothing wrong with that!

She won consecutive matches and finally made it to the top nine...

At this moment.

The most crucial highlight of "Millennium Discussion" has finally begun. According to Shengsheng, the previous ones were auditions, and the main competition will only begin when only the nine immortal kings are left.

The nine immortal kings will fight each other for three rounds, with two wins in three rounds.

When one reaches the peak of Question Six, although they are in the same realm and even the small aspects are the same, there is still a gap between them. This lies in their respective understanding of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, racial magical powers, and most importantly, spiritual treasures.

This process will not take too much time. Generally speaking, after three rounds of fighting, you will know the difference between each other.

After the nine immortal kings had fought each other, they all knew their respective rankings.

For example, Ming Zun Ming Liuzhan, although she is already 2400 years old, and this is her third time participating in the Millennium Forum, no one dares to look down on her, and most of them will voluntarily admit defeat after only one round of fighting.

The reason is simple: the gap is too big.

If you continue to fight, you will only embarrass yourself.

Every time the Thousand Years Discussion was held, it didn't take long for the Nine Immortal Lords to determine their positions, at most a month. However, the Nine Pillars Discussion fifty years ago dragged on for a full seven years.

Because the eighth and ninth pillars could not be decided... and according to the most ancient covenant, if they could not be decided, they had to continue to be discussed, and the other nine pillars had to bear witness.

Not bad.

The two who had been fighting for seven years were none other than [Gong Jin] Qu Yingshao and [Baidi] Bai Yingting.

Of course, the titles of these two people were only recognized later. At that time, they did not have any titles such as Jin Gong and Bai Di.

......

"Believe it or not."

Bai Yingting said that she came to Donghai to relax, and when she passed by Dongyang Pass, she saw Qu Yingshao committing a crime. Killing innocent people indiscriminately violated the Nine Pillars Oath, and she must give an explanation to the people of the world.

And Qu Yingshao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. The Demon King of the hostile Cangze Dynasty went to the eastern part of Qingyan for fun, and happened to pass by and saw her committing a crime... She had reason to suspect that Bai Yingting was the mastermind behind the incident, who first sent two tribesmen to lure her daughter to death, and then took advantage of her time of revenge to catch her.

of course.

It is also possible that there is a deeper calculation, which would be even more terrifying.

After seizing the Nine Pillars, even the ninth pillar gave Bai Yingting enough prestige, and with the support of old ministers loyal to the Bailin clan, he was able to sit on the throne.

Over the years, the other party has been in that position for a long time, and his scheming and resourcefulness have increased a lot, and he is no longer the Ah Ting of the past.

Meanwhile, as time goes by...

Bai Yingting's foundation was also strengthened. Fortunately, the Millennium Discussion was started fifty years ago. If the battle were to be fought again now, he might be the ninth pillar.

The two fought countless battles back then and knew each other well.

Few people in the world know better than Qu Yingshao how terrifying the White Scale Sword, which was reforged from the ancient Demon-Slaying Sword, is!

"It's no use talking more."

"Bai Yingting, you sent your people to kill my daughter. Today I have to settle the score with you!"

With Bai Yingting around, Qu Yingshao knew that he couldn't do anything to Xia Li and the others.

But as long as we defeat the enemy, those people will still not survive today.
