Chapter 231: Heavenly Immortal Realm Sect Master

Huo Jiancheng furrowed his brows, with an expression that it had already been decided.

"That's not necessarily true; perhaps something unexpected will happen this year."

Shi You had a different idea from the others; he always felt that this year, Lin Bai might break the situation of previous years.

By then, he really didn't know if that old thing from the Heavenly Immortal Realm would be furious when he saw his treasure being taken away by an outsider.

"Old Shi, listening to you, does your Shi Shi Zhiling have some dark horse this year?"

When Huo Jiancheng heard what Shi You said, he shifted his gaze to the other party.

"I didn't say it was from my side, but who will win in the end can only be known after watching."

"But this Old Bai is also something; why hasn't he come yet?"

Shi You smiled, looking as if he saw through it but didn't say it.

By the way, he shifted the topic to Bai Bai Xingli, who had not appeared yet.

"Yes, this Old Bai is usually the most punctual; the competition is about to start, and he hasn't come yet."

After Shi You's reminder, everyone started discussing.

One must know that this Bai Bai Xingli usually hated people who were late the most; he didn't expect that he himself would be late today.

"Everyone, I am truly sorry; there was a small matter, which is why I am late."

Just as several people were confused, Bai Bai Xingli's voice came over.

They saw an old man in white clothes fluttering; although his appearance was on par with the other Sect Masters, he gave people a feeling of being natural and "everyone is not as good as me."

When Lin Bai saw the other party, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he took a few extra looks.

"Senior Brother, this is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Bai Bai Xingli."

"It is said that he has already achieved immortal law, and he should just be missing a chance to ascend to immortality and become a god."

"But it's a pity, he has never waited for this opportunity."

Wang Wang Yuping looked at the other party and explained the other party's situation to Lin Bai with admiration.

"Oh, so powerful."

Lin Bai raised his brows, his gaze fixed on Bai Bai Xingli.

However, the other party did indeed give people a feeling of being more mysterious than the other Sect Masters.

But Lin Bai always had a feeling that this person might never be able to become an immortal in this lifetime.

As for where this feeling came from, Lin Bai didn't know.

And Bai Bai Xingli seemed to have noticed the gaze from the audience, looked toward Lin Bai's side, and happened to meet Lin Bai's eyes, furrowing his brows slightly, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Old Bai, what on earth happened that could make someone as punctual as you late?"

The Sect Master looked at Bai Bai Xingli with a full smile.

But after the Sect Master asked this question, everyone's gaze was fixed on him; after all, they were also very curious and wanted to get an answer from the other party's mouth.

"Nothing big, just ate something bad this morning."

"You are truly something; you have to ask for the reason."

"With so many people, can't you let me have some privacy?"

Bai Bai Xingli curled his lips, and after these words were spoken, the Sect Master and the others looked embarrassed.

"Old Bai, is there anything wrong? Do you need me to get you a pill?"

Looking at the other party's embarrassment, Huo Jiancheng smiled.

"No need, no need, I am already better."

Bai Bai Xingli waved his hand.

"Alright, don't tease me anymore, sit down quickly."

"If these disciples look over later, they will think what we old immortals are doing, with no serious business."

Old Bai hurriedly interrupted everyone and sat in his seat.

"Yes, yes, yes, watch the competition, watch the competition."

Shi You also hurriedly nodded, and then everyone sat upright.

Observing the situation on the competition field, and at this time, Lin Bai and his group had long been let in.

So Lin Bai and Wang Wang Yuping and the others were responsible for watching from the stands.

"Senior Brother, I didn't expect Wei Xiang'an's luck to be quite good; he caught up with the first round of the competition."

"But I just took a look, and those who are with him are all from small sects below; the strength of those people is simply not enough to be feared."

"I imagine Wei Xiang'an will be able to solve them all in a few moves."

Wang Wang Yuping sat beside Lin Bai and spoke lightly.

At this moment, all those preparing for the match had taken the stage; there were five people in total.

Wei Xiang'an stood in one spot by himself, while the remaining four stood opposite him.

"It seems Wei Xiang'an is about to face the attacks of four people. I reckon they want to eliminate Wei Xiang'an first before fighting for the spots to advance."

Wang Wang Yuping spoke indifferently.

Lin Bai’s gaze, however, drifted toward Bai Fa from time to time.

As for why Lin Bai couldn't help but keep staring at him, Lin Bai himself wasn't sure, but he always felt there was something about the man that particularly attracted him. Yet, what that thing was, Lin Bai could not be certain.

And how could Bai Fa not know that someone was staring at him on the competition field? He returned the gaze directly.

Feeling the man's powerful aura, Lin Bai hurriedly withdrew his gaze. If he had been a second slower just now, he feared he might have been injured by the man.

"Senior Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lin Bai hadn't been listening to him at all, Wang Wang Yuping looked curious and asked about his condition.

"It's nothing."

"Who do those people opposite Wei Xiang'an belong to?"

"Looking at them, they don't seem very friendly."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and stared intently at the competition field.

The match had already been underway for a minute, yet not a single contestant had made a move; they all seemed to be waiting for Wei Xiang'an to act first.

Wei Xiang'an was also looking at them, wearing a devil-may-care expression.

"Senior Brother, you don't need to worry at all. This kid is probably thinking about how to bully them."

Looking at Wei Xiang'an's demeanor, Wang Wang Yuping knew this kid must be up to some mischief again.

At this moment, Wei Xiang'an looked at the four people standing opposite him on the field, the corners of his mouth curling slightly upward.

"Hey, can you lot hurry up and make a move?"

"I'm still waiting to go down and eat."

Wei Xiang'an raised an eyebrow and gestured with his fingers toward the four people opposite him.

The four people opposite finally looked at each other and decided to attack together.

They charged rapidly toward Wei Xiang'an, and one of them was cultivating a wood-element technique.

He quickly summoned several branches, binding Wei Xiang'an in place.

"A bit interesting, but still lacking."

Wei Xiang'an looked at his bound hands and feet and raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, the others quickly launched attacks at Wei Xiang'an to prevent him from breaking free.

But Wei Xiang'an didn't intend to break free immediately; after being bound, he just stood there quietly watching the few of them rush toward him.
