"You all…" Hui Ling was getting agitated . She already tried to make use of her master"s reputation, yet these people did not even care to show some respect and insisted on s.n.a.t.c.hing the flag from her . The more she thought about it, the angrier she became . These people did not know what was good for them – they were as irritating as their sect master whose surname was Shen . "You don"t want to negotiate politely . I want to see exactly how skilful you are . "

As she spoke, she waved her hand and a huge red silk appeared in her hands . It was a top-grade immortal weapon . There was rich immortal Qi all around the weapon, and it was littered with remnants of sorcery . With a light flick, the red silk caught on to the edge of Feng Ying"s sword . Hui Ling flicked it away, leaving even the immortal sword in his hands in shambles .

"Feng Ying!" Qi Chengyu was shocked . She quickly flew to support him .

Hui Ling tutted, her expression full of contempt as she said, "Pfft! You want to fight me with this kind of cultivation level…"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a crack beside her . She turned to look and felt something brush past her . The next moment, there was a loud crash . The ground beneath her feet was splitting apart and huge, deep cracks appeared .

Hui Ling quickly retreated several steps . It was only then that she could see clearly . There were eight muscular girls surrounding her . The ground looked like that because one of them punched it . Even the sleeves on the robes Hui Ling was wearing had been torn so that only the top halves remained .

Hui Ling"s expression changed . She looked at the people surrounding her in fear . How did they all change in appearance? "You all… What kind of sorcery are you all using?" Even the top-grade robes that her master had given her could not withstand the blow .

"If fellow immortal does not hand the flag over, we will send you out of this realm . " The girls did not bother to answer Hui Ling"s question . They started to charge forward .

Hui Ling began to panic . She flew into the air to avoid their blows and began to regulate the immortal Qi in her body . The red silk suddenly grew bigger, as if it came alive . It flew toward the girls and around them .

"Be careful, that silk has the Thousand Lightning Array!" Feng Ying exclaimed .

But it was too late . The eight girls who rushed up to fight Hui Ling was already being hounded by the red silk .

Hui Ling laughed mirthlessly . "Pfft! You have all become so ugly, yet you"re still a wreck!" She flicked her wrist once more and a thousand flashes of lightning appeared from the end of the red silk . The lightning bolts charged toward the eight girls . Seeing as they were defenceless, Hui Ling sn.i.g.g.e.red . "I just wanted to obtain one flag, but you were being unreasonable . I"ll keep the remaining nine flags now, then!"

When she finished speaking, the girls" expressions darkened . Is this woman crazy?


"Everyone…" Qi Chengyu sounded anxious . She was going to run forward, but was stopped by one of the disciples .

"Junior Sister Qi, you"re not a body cultivator . Don"t come over . "

Qi Chengyu stopped herself . Hui Ling was already looking at that disciple in confusion .

A first disciple: "Senior Sister, what should we do?"

A second: "Senior Sister Hong said before, Sect Master instructed us not to get violent with female cultivators for no good reason!"

A third: "Unless we have no choice . "

A fourth: "Is this counted as having no choice?"

A fifth: "This is a compet.i.tion . We cannot afford to lose . We need to fight for the sake of our sect"s glory . It"s… counted, right?"

A sixth: "Well then…"

A seventh: "Let"s move!"

An eighth: "Finish her off!"

The immortal Qi around the eight disciples suddenly exploded . There were cracks and crashes . They caught the red silk that was trapping them and broke it into pieces, scattering its pieces onto the ground .

On the viewing platform, three suspicious gazes were focused on Shen Ying .

"You said that!"

"Huh? Did… I?"

"…"

The situation in the crystal had taken a turn for the worse . Hui Ling had initially looked set to win, but now she looked on in disbelief at the useless and broken immortal weapon of hers . How… how could this be? That was a top-grade immortal weapon . Even Golden Immortals could not break it, much less Earth Immortals…

Before she could react, she felt a tug on her arm . The disciple closest to her had picked up a piece of the red silk and pulled it . Hui Ling did not release the red silk in time, and she fell forward .

A fist was coming straight at her face . It was then that Hui Ling tasted fear . She paled and began to panic and shout .

There was a crash, and the defensive weapon around her was activated . The fist stopped just three inches away from her face . She closely avoided this blow, but what looked like a huge spider web appeared around her . They were cracks – signs that the array around her was breaking down .

She looked on as the disciple prepared to punch her again . This time, the blow would really hit her . Hui Ling panicked even more . There was no more innocence or contempt in her expression – only pure fear . She shouted and waved her hands frantically, attempting to run away . Any sorcery she knew was forgotten . Anything she did would be useless against that fist headed right for her face .

"No… No, please! Help! Save me…"

The disciple did not intend to hurt her from the beginning . The disciple changed the direction of her hand and reached for the array flag around Hui Ling"s waist . Suddenly, Hui Ling"s body emitted a bright white beam of light, which became bigger and bigger .

The disciple felt a strange force sweeping past her . Her heart fell, and then she was thrown aside . Even the other disciples who were standing behind her fell over when the bright light swept past them . One by one, they vomited blood .

"Eh?"

Shen Ying, who had been munching on a fruit, suddenly paused and turned toward the crystal .

"What"s going on?" Lonemoon was staring blankly at the crystal as well . What exactly was that beam of light?

"Could it be… some special sorcery?" Xun Shu guessed . It was not unexpected for the Celestial Emperor"s disciples to carry with them immortal weapons that would protect them from coming to any harm .

"…" Lonemoon frowned .

s.h.i.+t! Was it a fair compet.i.tion if they were allowed to bring so many weapons? It was obvious they were competing with their backgrounds as well . If he had known earlier, he would have distributed more weapons to the disciples .

The situation in the crystal once again took an unexpected turn . All of Invincible Sect"s disciples had fallen, and it looked like they were injured as well . It was at that exact moment that the compet.i.tion ended . All of the disciples that partic.i.p.ated were sent out of the mystic realm .

"Master…" Yi Qing turned to face Shen Ying .

"Yes, I saw it . "

"…"

——————

The compet.i.tion ended after one afternoon . The top ten from each group was quickly decided . On average, there were one or two immortals from each country who made it to the top ten for the Stygian Immortal and Mystic Immortal groups alike . As for the Earth Immortal and the Golden Immortal groups… things were a bit more complicated .

The Golden Immortal group"s name list was not too bad . There were four names on it that belonged to Invincible Sect – that was almost half . That"s right, in the last few minutes, Yu Hong and her group managed to steal one more array flag .

Things were much more extreme for the Earth Immortal group . Apart from Hui Ling, everybody else was from Invincible Sect . It was practically a ma.s.sacre . When the name list came out, the various emperors did not know how to react . The body cultivators belonged to the Invincible Sect . It really was a perverted sect full of sword immortals – even their disciples were so freaky .

Lonemoon expressed some disappointment at this result . "Ah, two of our sect members did not make it!"

The emperors: "…"

They only brought 15 people, of which 13 made it to the finals . What more does he want!

(#‵′)凸

Not long after the compet.i.tion ended, the finals began . This was no different from the compet.i.tions that took place in the lower realm . In pairs, the immortals prepared for battle .

Chen Ge gave some instructions to the immortal official beside him, then kept the crystals in front of him . After a few moments, the stone gates that led to the mystic realms below the viewing platform were removed . In their place, four broad stages appeared . Isolation arrays were set up around each stage .

The finals were also conducted in groups . Compared to the initial compet.i.tion, the finals were much simpler . A maximum of two battles were needed to determine the top three immortals .

Lonemoon was betting all on the Earth Immortal group . The more he watched, the darker his expression got . Hui Ling was looking extremely different from the way she did back in the mystic realm, when she was panicking for her life . In the two battles that took place the body cultivator disciples from Invincible Sect lost to her in the final few moments of the battle .

Lonemoon had absolute confidence in the disciples from his sect . It was likely that Golden Immortals were not their match, much less Earth Immortals . Yet, it was incredible the way things were panning out . Hui Ling was a mere Earth Immortal . Although it was obvious that she exerted a lot of effort in the beginning of the battle, she would always just manage to turn her defeat into a victory at the final moment to defeat the body cultivator .

What"s more, she had won at everything from beginning to end . It felt almost like they were imagining Hui Ling"s poor performance back at the mystic realm .

"She"s actually… so capable . " Did she hide her skills on purpose at the start?

"Because it was not her there during the battle," Yi Qing suddenly said .

"Huh? What does that mean?"You all… Hui Ling was getting agitated . She already tried to make use of her masters reputation, yet these people did not even care to show some respect and insisted on s.n.a.t.c.hing the flag from her .
