“Our Junior Sister lent him a hand, but it appears that you Moon Sect folks aren’t on par with her abilities. After all, he’s a Paragon Warrior, while my Junior Sister is merely a Martial G.o.d,” Di Hongyun remarked, his tone laced with a mocking grin.
The presence of Moon Sect members had already gotten on his nerves.
Di Hongyun had developed a strong distaste for the Moon Sect disciples, given their relentless pursuit of Wushang Sect members. As a result, he couldn’t care less about their grievances.
The Moon Sect disciples were left speechless and fuming with anger.
Mi Xinghe felt a growing pressure. If both he and his opponent were Paragon Warriors, that wouldn’t be a major issue. However, the prospect of losing to a
Martial G.o.d was an entirely different matter, one he’d rather avoid.
They wanted to respond, but the opportunity eluded them.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Gu Chaoyan smiled with a sinister aura as she sought to overpower Mi Xinghe. Her voice barely audible, she whispered, “I want you dead.”
While those below the stage couldn’t hear her words, Mi Xinghe had undoubtedly caught them.
His expression changed drastically.
He had no knowledge of the woman from the Supreme Sect. Despite suppressing his Paragon Warrior cultivation, she continued to keep him in check. Even if he didn’t win this contest, he didn’t want it to escalate into a life-or-death battle.
Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words, Mi Xinghe instinctively attempted to subdue her, utilizing his top-tier Paragon Warrior abilities.
The Moon Sect disciples were initially relieved to witness his sudden surge in power, deciding to steer clear of this mysterious woman.
However, their relief was short-lived.
A top-tier Paragon Warrior?
The rule stipulated that only disciples below the level of a Paragon Warrior could partic.i.p.ate in the contest, a fact not lost on observers from other schools.
Elder Lin acted swiftly, ascending the stage to intercept Gu Chaoyan. He faced Mi Xinghe, whose power was enough to dispatch Gu Chaoyan effortlessly, yet he found himself compelled to concede in the presence of Elder Lin.
As chatter about the disciples of the Moon Sect filled the air, Gu Chaoyan abruptly pointed towards an object that had fallen from his person and exclaimed, “What is that?”
Elder Lin, curious, retrieved the item and inspected it closely. “Bone-melting powder?” he mumbled.
His gaze then s.h.i.+fted to Mi Xinghe, whose peculiar demeanor raised more questions. This Moon Sect disciple was an outstanding Paragon Warrior, a status that defied explanation. Furthermore, the bone powder hinted at a connection to something sinister.
Had he been a mere Second Heaven Paragon Warrior, a breakthrough could have been plausible. However, he already held the esteemed position of a top-tier Paragon Warrior, a circ.u.mstance that defied all reason. It was increasingly apparent that he had deliberately suppressed his cultivation for the contest, which explained his consistent victories.
“Moon Sect, could you kindly give us an explanation?”
“Your disciple has ascended to the rank of top-tier Supreme Warrior, yet you present him as a Paragon Warrior,” Elder Lin continued. “Moreover, the two disciples from our Supreme Sect who met their demise yesterday were murdered, and a number of our disciples have gone missing.” The crowd awaited a response, tension thickening in the room..
