Chapter 374: with translation of chapter title
376. Chapter 369 Li Half-Saint also nurtures temple gods, Xixi is the calamity of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect 【Seek monthly ticket】
The fine rain is most hazy, the spring breeze brushes the willows.
The pattering spring rain fell upon the Second City, upon the large canopy erected and expanded on the white jade plaza, emitting a dull sound.
Above the center of the plaza, two strands of divinity intertwined like a scroll unfurling, projecting the images of two figures.
One is an adorable six-year-old girl, the other is a maiden Daoist in a cyan Daoist robe, very solemn.
If one were to say that this Peach Banquet Triumph, the most surprising thing might be the daughter of Li Half-Saint.
At only six years old, she displayed extraordinary bearing; not to mention her outstanding performance at the Dragonet Prelude, she obtained eighteen strands of the Queen Mother West's divinity with an almost crushing posture, crushing one after another disciple from various Divine Sects and clans who participated in the prelude.
And at the main banquet of the Dragonet Triumph, this six-year-old girl actually persisted until the third round.
Many even harbored the wish that Xixi could advance to the fourth round, even the fifth.
After all, a six-year-old girl participating in her first Peach Banquet Triumph and managing to reach the last one or two rounds—how thrilling, how surprising that is!
In the gambling houses set up in Shendu, the bets on Xixi reaching the fifth round have even reached a very high proportion!
Thus, the martial cultivators from various prefectures rushing to the Third City eagerly await this six-year-old little girl Xixi to display unparalleled dominance, sweeping away everything.
Unfortunately…
Encountered the Dragonet of the First Divine Sect of Dàjǐng!
Dàjǐng has eleven Dao, each a Divine Sect.
And among the various Divine Sects, naturally there are differences in rank.
The Purple Mansion Divine Sect of the Celestial Master Dao is universally recognized as the first Divine Sect, not only because the Sect Leader of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, who ranks first on the Divine Register, asserts the boundless, suppressing several Divine Sect sect leaders with dazzling battle achievements single-handedly.
Moreover, it is due to the reputation the Purple Mansion Divine Sect has earned in past Peach Banquet Triumphs.
Each Peach Banquet Triumph, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect dispatches only three heroes and three Dragonets to participate, and ultimately they always place in the top three, reaping abundant Peach Banquet spoils.
Therefore, people actually hold reverence for the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.
"It's over…… it's the Purple Mansion Divine Sect…… this girl's luck is ultimately limited."
"What luck? By the third round of the Peach Banquet Triumph, look who remains—who isn't the first Dragonet of each major Divine Sect?"
"One can only say it's inevitable; better to meet early and lose early, so the loss isn't too great; if one later passes the third round and continues to challenge, only to encounter an unbeatable opponent and lose, that would be the most painful."
……
In the Third City, some lament, some gloat, some sigh with myriad feelings.
Many believe Xixi's advancement to the third round is due to 'draw luck,' not having faced any strong opponent, giving this six-year-old lass an illusion.
And this first match of the third round will directly shatter the little lass's notion.
Lü Taibai sat behind the desk, a hint of gravity appearing in his eyes.
Not far from him, Lü Qingxuan clenched his fists: "Xixi…… it's her, you must be careful, she is truly strong!"
This unlucky child Lü Qingxuan encountered the third Dragonet of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Zhang Yunhuang, in the first round; the huge disparity in strength almost drove him to autistic withdrawal.
Lü Qingxuan naturally knows Zhang Yunhuang is strong, having personally experienced it, but he cannot articulate wherein lies the strength, because…… Lü Qingxuan lost too quickly.
"Did she beat you? Rest assured, Great Emperor Xixi will get your face back for you!"
Xixi had a morsel of delicacy cooked by the imperial palace's chief chef stuffed in her mouth, chewing with a munch-munch sound; hearing Lü Qingxuan's words, she patted her little chest, producing a slap-slap sound.
Xixi ate another piece of meat, clapped her hands, leapt out from behind the desk, and walked toward the center of the white jade plaza under the gaze of all.
On the other side, the maiden in the cyan Daoist robe, her expression cold and solemn, floated forth.
Her cloth shoes lightly tapped the white jade ground; her whole person seemed to tread on wind, landing at the plaza's center, her cyan Daoist robe swirling, her gaze lightly falling upon Xixi.
"Primordial Origin Divine Sect, first Dragonet, Li Nuanxi!"
Xixi placed her hands on her hips, lifted her head, and announced her name.
"Purple Mansion, third Dragonet, Zhang Yunhuang."
The maiden in the Daoist robe slightly nodded and spoke.
Xixi narrowed her eyes, becoming solemn, for she sensed a threat from this maiden Daoist.
This person is truly strong!
With a clench of her fingers, Xixi's hand directly produced a pink immortal-engine Gatling; sparks burst beneath her feet, she stepped on two golden-light wind-fire hell lotus wheels, and rose into the air.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yunhuang's hand suddenly produced a peach-wood sword; gripping it, she lightly sliced the air, as if the air itself were torn apart, like a black mountain ridge wrapped with a fierce wind that rends the air.
The sword qi, entwined with divinity, howled forth.
Zhang Yunhuang's black hair flew wildly, she stared strangely at Xixi, actually erupting with an unimaginably massive battle intent.
"Come on, little lass."
"Let me see, you little lass praised by the sect master…… just what formidable ability do you possess!"
……
……
Primordial Origin Divine Sect main banquet area.
Lü Taibai looked toward Li Che, his eyes showing gravity: "Xixi is likely to encounter a formidable opponent."
"This little Daoist, her cultivation is truly not weak; although she is only a third Dragonet, her qi and blood have already reached the Innate Grandmaster level, and her divinity has also reached the Primordial Appearance realm, giving birth to a Primordial Spirit……"
"This is a difference in realm."
Li Che, upon hearing this, also rarely became solemn.
"Overall strength, indeed considerably surpasses Xixi……"
"Xixi ultimately suffers from being too young; this Zhang Yunhuang is fourteen, having reached this height, can indeed be called a genius, yet compared to Xixi she still falls short, for Xixi is merely six years old."
Li Che nodded: "Xixi being young is also unavoidable……"
Li Che raised his gaze and looked toward the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's main banquet area; only five silhouettes sat there.
The leader was a Daoist in a purple robe, appearing quite aged, yet he gave Li Che a sense of profound mystery; merely meeting his gaze, one felt as if their very mind would be seen through.
That is Zhang Wuji, sect master of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect……the person ranked first on the Divine God Ranking.
Lü Taibai noticed Li Che's gaze and introduced.
This person……is very strong, unfathomably strong!
Although rather ordinary in martial arts, his mastery of divinity—no, I should say the entire Purple Mansion Divine Sect's mastery of divinity—belongs to that extremely delicate kind, far surpassing our agility.
Lü Taibai said.
Upon hearing this, Li Che immediately showed a hint of curiosity.
It seemed he felt Li Che's gaze; the seated Daoist with a whisk draped over his arm immediately looked over, kind-eyed and benevolent, giving a gentle smile.
Li Che slightly nodded, also returning a gentle smile in response.
Since the other party greeted him with a smile, Li Che naturally would not put on a sour face.
Between Li Che and the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, there really isn't any major conflict; thus, gaining more friends is best, and there's no need to make himself enemies of the whole world.
Purple Mansion Divine Sect's main banquet area.
The old Daoist slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering slightly: 'Good, a Li Half-Saint……'
Master, what's wrong?
Beside Zhang Wuji, a youthful Daoist in black robes suddenly asked in puzzlement.
At the upcoming Heroes' Assembly, if you encounter this Li Half-Saint, do not hold back……if you hold back, you will suffer a crushing defeat.
Zhang Wuji stroked his beard and said.
This Li Half-Saint seems also to be participating in the Heroes' Assembly; in the pre-banquet, his displayed strength was merely passable……but that's all it was. The black-robed Daoist burst into laughter mixed with tears.
With the cultivation of Divine Fetus One God Transformation, wanting to win the Heroes' Assembly is extremely difficult; I came aiming for victory, hoping to obtain a nine-thousand-year ginseng peach to feed my temple deity……
Zhang Wuji glanced at the black-robed Daoist: 'Do not judge victory or defeat by visible cultivation……'
Also, do not underestimate this Li Half-Saint.
The old Daoist felt on him an aura somewhat similar to ours……
That black-robed Daoist's expression changed slightly at once.
The same aura as ours? Could he also……
Rearing a temple deity?
……
……
White Jade Plaza, above the main seat.
Two tables were placed side by side.
The tables were laden with a bounty of delicious dishes, fine wine and good food.
Moreover, rosy flat peaches were piled into a small mountain on the plates; if they wished, they could eat peaches at any time.
Behind these two tables sat the two noble persons hosting this Flat Peach Assembly.
The Emperor of Dàjǐng and the Empress of Dàjǐng.
Their tables were placed quite close, even nearly joined together.
On the Emperor of Dàjǐng's visage, a mist formed by vital energy and divinity obscured his features, and a mountain-like awe-inspiring pressure constantly surrounded him.
By his side was the Empress, dignified and splendid in bearing, with an absolutely beautiful visage.
Your Majesty, this girl is the newly accepted divine talisman disciple of Qi Sha, taught in the Way of Divine Talismans; it is heard that Qi Sha greatly favors this child, even wounding the Dragon Princess Consort of the Prince Pacifying Rebellion in the street for her sake.
The Empress lifted her sleeve with her soft hand, picked up a spiritual fruit, placed it in her mouth, and her gaze fell upon Xixi and Zhang Yunhuang stepping onto the White Jade Plaza as she spoke with a smile.
Although the Emperor's expression was indiscernible, he seemed to give a light smile, emitting a chuckle: 'Xuan Qisha, that little girl……as her uncle, I haven't seen her in many years.'
Ever since my sister passed away, this girl……sigh.
As the Emperor spoke on, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The Empress's eyes flickered, she gave a light smile: 'Your Majesty, rest assured, after all we are kin; some things, once past, are past; Qi Sha will not blame you.'
The Emperor gave a soft sigh: 'I hope so.'
The two then fell silent, speaking no further.
Suddenly.
The Emperor turned his head toward the Empress, raised his hand, and pointed at Xixi on the White Jade Plaza.
He spoke softly: 'My Empress.'
'What do you think of this girl……how is she?'
Huh?
The Empress's movement stalled momentarily; she turned her head to look at the Emperor.
Your Majesty……
What do you intend to do?!
? ￠O
……
……
On the White Jade Plaza, the central area where the banquet tables are arranged is utterly empty.
Two figures, under the gaze of countless onlookers, suddenly struck out and clashed!
Flat Peach Assembly Young Dragon Assembly, third round, first match.
It can be said to be a battle that is the focus of myriad eyes.
The first is a little girl who, at six years old, broke into the main banquet of the Young Dragon Assembly, and the Young Dragon clash of the Dàjǐng's foremost Divine Sect.
It simply tugs at the heartstrings of far too many people.
The gate of the Third City was already blocked to the point of being impenetrable, and the city tower above was also filled with martial artists gathered to watch the battle.
They stretched their necks and widened their eyes.
Many attendants closely watched the battle scene, holding paper and brush, ready to record the fight and send it to taverns in the Ninth City, Eighth City, Seventh City, and other cities of Shendu, so that storytellers could embellish and narrate it, adding excitement to the betting.
Buzz——
Xixi's chubby face instantly lit up with a brilliant gleam, and her two eyes, like black dates, sparkled.
Under her feet, the Hell Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel spun at high speed, scattering sparks; Xixi dashed through the air, each landing of her feet precisely striking the golden wheel, which lifted her body.
In her hand, the pink Immortal Craft Gatling, with its six metal tubes engraved with divine patterns, seemed to turn red-hot like a branding iron in an instant, spinning rapidly.
The Spirit Wood Crossing Crows of maximum firepower instantly burst wildly from the barrel.
Bang bang bang——
The golden light poured out, like the sharpest flying sword between heaven and earth, cutting through the heated air.
The blast struck the black peach wood sword held by the maiden Daoist who was performing the sword salute on the spot, Zhang Yunhuang!
However,
In Zhang Yunhuang's Niwan palace, a red dot like a red date appeared and spread.
Then, an invisible divine ripple spread out, like a woven great net, enveloping her body.
In a single breath, Xixi fired three hundred Spirit Wood Crossing Crows, all of which were frozen in midair—the imagined explosion did not actually happen!
Xixi's eyes narrowed.
Yet she saw the maiden Daoist step forward with her cloth shoe, and instantly, like a theater curtain being drawn aside, the frozen Spirit Wood Crossing Crows were wrapped in the curtain and pulled apart.
The Daoist's figure turned into an arrowhead, shooting forth!
"So fast!"
Xixi's pupils contracted.
A pressure like mountains and seas surged suddenly from the Daoist's body—this was the sense of oppression brought by the unity of heaven and man!
This Daoist... is a Grandmaster of the Innate Heaven!
Xixi had just broken through the Divine Gang Realm, and there was still a considerable gap between them, yet the little girl showed no trace of fear or retreat!
She clenched her fingers, and scorching flames surged outward, rolling heat as if a hidden fire lotus blossomed and exploded around her.
She grasped a blazing black long sword—this was the Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword!
This was a gift from Lü Taibai, a mythic weapon; the other, the Hell Lotus Yin Divine Sword, remains in Li Che's grasp.
The Daoist leaned forward, slanting her grip on the black peach wood sword, swiftly drawing a phantom across the White Jade Plaza; her cloth shoe tapped down, and her whole body rose with the spreading invisible air wave and the rising pillar of energy, soaring upward, sword in hand, she slashed toward Xixi.
The Immortal Craft Gatling could not restrain this Daoist; Xixi realized she faced a formidable opponent.
She put away the Immortal Craft Gatling, gripped the Hell Lotus Sword, and struck down fiercely.
One large and one small figure collided!
The Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword clashed with the peach wood sword, but the Daoist's figure instantly became extremely supple, like a soft wild grass, brushing past Xixi's sword tip.
Xixi gripped the Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword, and her aura rose steadily!
Buzz buzz buzz——
The prestige of the mythic weapon continuously spread and surged downward, causing the Daoist Zhang Yunhuang of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect to feel immense pressure, though her expression changed little.
She stepped down, the air wave gathering like a solid platform beneath her feet, lifting her body as if walking on level ground.
Xixi gripped the Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword, fully unleashing the gang energy of a Divine Gang Grandmaster; even with the aid of the Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword, her strength increased considerably, yet each sword qi she unleashed was easily dodged by Daoist Zhang Yunhuang.
The two, one above and one below, crossed swords in midair.
The Hell Lotus Yang Divine Sword and the black peach wood sword constantly collided, sword qi filling the sky, intertwining and clashing with incessant metallic ringing.
In Zhang Yunhuang's Niwan, as if a great red date were planted, divine fluctuations suddenly arose.
The sound of clanking chains rang out.
Then, as if an oil-paper lantern rose from behind her.
The oil-paper lantern was connected by chains; the chains extended all the way to Zhang Yunhuang's spine, as if driven into it, achieving complete linkage with her spine!
While Xixi glared angrily, her heart startled, she instantly saw clearly that the oil-paper lantern was not a lantern at all, but a shrine housing a seated deity holding a sword to slay demons!
The deity's divine power surged wildly along the chains linking the shrine, continuously pouring into her body.
Boom——
Vast divine power and prestige came crashing down!
At this moment, Zhang Yunhuang's divine aura rose steadily, reaching the peak of the Yuan Phase, her primordial spirit boiling to the extreme!
It was as if Zhang Yunhuang, at this moment, had become the deity!
Gripping the peach wood sword, she lightly brushed two fingers along the blade, and the peach wood sword emitted a brilliant resonant hum.
"Little girl, have you heard that the deity... is invincible among equals!"
The words finished.
Zhang Yunhuang's expression suddenly rolled in midair; instantly, a wide blue Daoist robe billowed up in the air above the White Jade Plaza.
The blue Daoist robe swirled, blocking the line of sight between her and Xixi.
The peach wood sword in her hand suddenly floated upward; Zhang Yunhuang's eyes were icy cold as she ruthlessly slapped the palm onto the peach wood sword.
She wanted a quick victory, for this girl kept giving her a sense of extreme unease, though she did not know where it came from; but according to her experience, a swift decision is always correct!
Bang——
Brilliant hardness exploded.
Instantly piercing the Daoist robe, the peach wood sword suddenly burst open, revealing a hidden cold-edge sword concealed within the peach wood!
Hiding the sword within the peach wood!
Her body twisted in midair; behind her, the shrine linked by chains continuously had its divine essence drawn by her, so Zhang Yunhuang maintained the posture of an inverted sword.
A flick of the sword sent two dazzling sword arcs flying at extreme speed, their trajectories indiscernible, slashing toward Xixi like a butterfly wearing flowered robes.
The sword qi tore the azure great robe to shreds!
The mighty sword qi and killing intent merged into a single sword, as if an angered temple god thrust forth a blade.
Xixi felt as if her whole body had been frozen solid.
This concealed-sword, killing-drive technique surprised her; the Daoist nun's methods were truly divine, and this sword made Xixi feel as if she stood at death's door.
Xixi gritted her teeth, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in her right hand, which she hurled forward violently.
Zhang Yunhuang's sword qi instantly struck the golden brick.
Behind Xixi, a divine apparition appeared: an eight-armed, three-headed invincible hell lotus!
It seemed as if a divine apparition with eight arms and three faces glared, letting out a long roar, and Xixi's right hand again emitted a trembling sound.
Purple flames surged and howled; the Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Tip Gun auto-triggered, seized in Xixi's one hand, a reverse twist, and the air was instantly bored out a rolling motion.
Four mythic weapons—truly a full set of divine gear!
Xixi gripped the Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Tip Gun, lashing out with a whip-like strike and a fierce horizontal thrust!
A turn of her body, and she thrust the spear forward as swift as thunder.
In an instant, above the White Jade Plaza.
In a breath, the air boiled; the once moisture-filled heaven and earth seemed to have its vapor evaporated in an instant.
Next, a purple great serpent coiled out from behind Xixi, roaring, and slammed fiercely into the sword thrust by Zhang Yunhuang.
Zhang Yunhuang's eyes suddenly burst with brilliant radiance—the temple god's divinity fully lent to her!
This is the secret art of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect!
The god arrives!
Suddenly—
Zhang Yunhuang stiffened all over, gazing at the divine apparition behind Xixi, as if she saw that apparition slowly open its eyes, two black lotuses slowly rotating within its pupils.
Then, a pressure as if freezing everything descended like a mountain‑toppling torrent.
Zhang Yunhuang felt that, for a quick victory, the borrowed temple god's power seemed to be sucked back in an instant by the god within the shrine.
An emotion emanating from the temple god's shrine surged into Zhang Yunhuang's heart.
Panic, terror, despair…
That emotion!
It almost simultaneously transmitted to Zhang Yunhuang's body, making her feel utterly stifled.
A crisp crack sounded!
The chains snapped!
The chains linking to the shrine exploded, Zhang Yunhuang hanging in midair, and all the temple god's divinity within her was instantly emptied.
Zhang Yunhuang's pupils contracted.
After all…
What happened?
She had nurtured that temple god for so many years, successfully cultivating a rapport, able to draw on its power…
But at this moment, the temple god severed its bond with her!
Utterly decisive, it abandoned her with utter resolve!
As if beholding some tremendous horror, the panic‑stricken gaze of that being decisively cut the bond between them.
"No——!!!"
"Why——!!!"
That psychological roller‑coaster made Zhang Yunhuang almost vomit blood!
She coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, which the sword qi blasted into a blood mist.
Then the scorching spear‑light burned it into black mist!
And at the instant the temple god's divinity was withdrawn from her body.
She was in the midst of thrusting a sword, clashing with Xixi who wielded the Purple Flame Snake Spear.
Zhang Yunhuang felt her sword suddenly lose control; she had long plotted to unleash her stored power in an instant!
But the temple god swept away all her power!
Puchi—!!!
The Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Tip Gun brutally bored into Zhang Yunhuang, piercing her shoulder; the terrifying force, like a flood dragon lying across, slammed into her body.
It drove her from midair down hard onto the ground, pinning her there!
Boom—
The White Jade Plaza's white jade floor instantly sank, countless spider‑web cracks spreading outward in an instant.
Blood welled forth, soaking the Daoist nun Zhang Yunhuang impaled in the White Jade Plaza; her black hair spread out like a black flower blooming on the jade floor, and crimson blood trickled downward.
Her eyes lost their luster; she knew she had lost.
But she did not understand why she had lost.
The four mythic weapons were not the key to defeating her.
Her defeat came from the temple god draining all its divinity; the borrowed power had boosted her morale, yet it was taken back just as she prepared to unleash her killing strike.
This back‑and‑forth left Zhang Yunhuang gaping with a huge flaw, which Xixi settled with a single spear thrust.
Zhang Yunhuang actually knew well how to defeat Xixi.
Whether in martial prowess or divinity, she surpassed that girl; if she delayed, the massive consumption from the four mythic weapons would surely be beyond what this girl, who had just broken through to the divine apparition realm, could bear.
"I have lost."
Zhang Yunhuang said calmly.
Attendant Lian of the Purple Robe Weasel Temple appeared instantly, blocking Xixi as she drew out the Immortal Craft Gatling to bombard.
Xixi collected the divine armaments, panting heavily, sweat covering her forehead, yet her face was full of excitement.
Although she also didn't know why Zhang Yunhuang, who had given her immense pressure, would suddenly sputter.
But it's not a big problem.
The victor is king!
She, Xixi, having won, is indeed victorious!
Only the victor follows the kingly way!
Xixi put her hands on her hips, stuck out her little belly, making her incredibly awesome.
Zhang Yunhuang was fed a medicinal pill by the Purple Robe Weasel Temple; the flesh on his chest began to sprout granulation, and slowly he recovered.
Zhang Yunhuang gave Xixi a deep look, then turned and walked down the White Jade Plaza, returning to the main banquet area of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.
"Sect Master, I have lost; it is because my performance as a disciple was not good enough, disappointing you."
Zhang Yunhuang came before Zhang Wuji, speaking with some sorrow.
"It's not your fault; it's the fault of the temple god you raise…"
Zhang Wuji's expression was calm.
"This is the drawback of our Purple Mansion Divine Sect's method of raising temple gods; although it allows us to borrow the temple god's rank to oppress its immense divine nature, once the temple god slips from control… it will cause great turmoil in our condition."
Zhang Wuji said with a smile.
Zhang Yunhuang, however, was not convinced, gritting his teeth: "Sect Master… the temple god I raise—what in this world could make it panic and betray?"
Zhang Wuji's gaze suddenly became deep.
"Temple gods? They are merely a group of dead deities; think… who killed them? Since they can die, how could they not have fear?"
Zhang Yunhuang felt a moment of daze.
Then… what does that have to do with that girl?
Could it be…
That girl, has she ever slain the myriad gods?
Her hands stained with the blood of myriad gods?!
If that is the case…
Zhang Yunhuang's face involuntarily trembled.
And Zhang Yunhuang happened to hear a faint sigh.
"Yes, this girl might become… the calamity of our Purple Mansion Divine Sect."
The calamity of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect?!
That assessment is way too big!
Zhang Yunhuang, however, clearly knows how strong the Purple Mansion Divine Sect is as the top sect of Dàjǐng!
That is a strength that even the Dàjǐng court cannot comprehend or imagine!
It is a strength that no other divine sect can compare to!
That is, if the Purple Mansion Divine Sect were not low-key… Zhang Yunhuang feels it could even reach the height of the divine sect Equal Heaven Temple, which once dominated half the world!
Zhang Yunhuang admires the Purple Mansion Divine Sect from the bottom of his heart!
And now, the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's Sect Master Zhang Wuji actually says… that this girl will become the calamity of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect!
"How… how is this possible?"
"How can this be?!"
Zhang Yunhuang's face became somewhat twisted.
As if his inner faith had been defiled and insulted!
However, before Zhang Yunhuang could retort…
a faint laugh came from beside.
It was the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's first young dragon, Zhang Yunlong.
The three young dragons participating in this Young Dragon Victory Assembly are all from the Yun generation of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect; among them, Zhang Yunlong is one year younger than Zhang Yunhuang, being only thirteen years old.
But he is already able to represent the identity of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's first young dragon.
"Senior Sister Yunhuang might just be unlucky, having merely encountered a temple god throwing a tantrum… how could a little girl possibly become the calamity of our Purple Mansion Divine Sect?"
"However, since the master said so, I intend to meet her, to see if she truly is as the master said; I will wait for her in the chief match of the Young Dragon Victory Assembly."
Zhang Yunlong laughed lightly, then stepped out with his hands behind his back; because on the White Jade Plaza, as Xixi chose to continue the challenge, after the five-thousand-year-old flat peaches were confiscated, the next round's two opponents would appear as images woven from divine essence.
And in the image, one of them happened to be him, Zhang Yunlong.
Zhang Yunlong's Daoist robe fluttered, as usual, carefree.
In three breaths, he defeated his opponent, offered up the five-thousand-year-old flat peach, and challenged the fourth round.
……
……
Li Nuanxi of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect actually won!
Moreover, she advanced to the fourth round.
The battle between Xixi and Zhang Yunhuang attracted so much attention and gazes that saying it was the focus of myriad eyes is no exaggeration.
Nobody expected Xixi to actually defeat the third young dragon of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect!
After all, whether in martial cultivation or divine cultivation, Xixi is far inferior to her opponent!
But… she won!
But everyone quickly found the reason: four mythic weapons!
Moreover, they were a matching set of mythic weapons, equivalent to saying they were incarnations of temple gods!
For a time, Shendu Third City fell into a frenzy for Xixi, with lively discussion, extreme cheers; everyone was very interested in the underdog's counterattack, feeling stirred and generous.
Heavenly Origin Divine Sect Main Banquet Area.
Cheers likewise echoed without end.
Lü Qingxuan, Yang Yi, Zhou Peng, Yun'e and the other companions all cheered for Xixi.
When they saw Xixi's mechanism was useless, and saw Xixi even being suppressed and beaten by that Cloud Phoenix.
They all showed tension, but no one expected Xixi to actually counterattack.
Lü Taibai's gaze was strange, his brows furrowed.
"How... did he win?"
Lü Taibai racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.
He actually couldn't see through his own six-year-old disciple?!
Suddenly, Lü Taibai's cheek twitched slightly.
No way……
No way his precious and valuable little disciple is also some kind of monster, right?!
Xixi held her head high and chest out, extremely proud.
She won this match, advanced to the fourth round, then excitedly rushed back to the Main Banquet Area and bumped into Li Che's arms.
"Dad, I won!"
"Xixi will soon earn a nine-thousand-year Flat Peach for Mom!"
Xixi was very excited.
However, Xixi rubbed her head and muttered, "But the upcoming opponents are all so strong......"
Zhang Ya's eyes showed distress; she actually also saw how strenuous this battle was for her daughter.
And the upcoming battle...... will only be more difficult and strenuous.
If Xixi were to lose, Zhang Ya couldn't imagine how wronged her daughter would feel.
"It's fine; even if she really loses, we still have Dad—Dad will take action and get the Flat Peach!"
Li Che affectionately rubbed Xixi's head.
Suddenly.
Li Che felt a gaze laden with immense pressure.
He furrowed his brows and looked in the direction the gaze came from.
He then saw the one seated on the main seat of the White Jade Plaza.
The Dàjǐng Emperor, whose face was obscured by a haze of vital energy and divinity, making his features indistinct.
He was looking at Xixi with a half-smile.
