Chapter 121: Begin Repentance

When the last participating disciple entered the secret realm, the huge vortex that had been violently spinning above the arena began to gradually gather its light and slowly shrink until it completely vanished into the horizon.

And just as that mysterious vortex disappeared, a giant crystal screen as smooth as a mirror, crystal clear and radiating brilliant light, appeared before everyone's eyes.

It displayed every scene within the secret realm in full view before everyone, without reservation.

On one side of the crystal screen, countless names floated up in midair.

This was the corresponding scoreboard.

After Fan Quan Xianzun took his seat, he spotted the figure of Qianjue Shan.

Qianjue Shan slightly nodded toward Fan Quan Xianzun.

Fan Quan Xianzun smiled.

At this moment, the gaze of Wuxiang Xianzun Xu Yan zhi also fell upon Qianjue Shan, his cold eyes hinting at some deep meaning.

Qianjue Shan lifted his eyes and met Xu Yan zhi's gaze.

Fan Quan Xianzun keenly sensed something; his heart jumped, and he remembered that Qianjue Shan's junior disciple had been because of Xu Yan zhi…

To prevent the two from fighting here, Fan Quan Xianzun lightly coughed and quickly said to Xu Yan zhi, "Wuxiang Xianzun, our Ninth Province produces talents in abundance; we will certainly not disappoint you."

Xu Yan zhi withdrew his gaze and gave a cold, soft "en."

Qianjue Shan took a seat beside Zong Rao.

Zong Rao stared straight at the scene on the crystal screen, yet sent a mental message to Qianjue Shan: "How did Xu Yan zhi come here?"

Qianjue Shan replied via mental message: "He probably came for the Seventh Province side."

"Back then…" Zong Rao recalled something.

"No need to mention it again."

Qianjue Shan's voice was calm, yet it seemed like a harbinger of an approaching storm.

Zong Rao let out a deep sigh in his heart.

…

Inside the secret realm.

Yuan Yao was transmitted to a forest.

After she steadied herself, she warily scanned the surroundings; suddenly, her gaze stopped on the trunk of a huge tree not far away, where a small blue flag was actually inserted!

Her eyes lit up slightly.

Yuan Yao immediately walked over, about to reach out and take down the blue small flag, when suddenly an anomaly occurred: the tangled tree roots on the ground moved and lunged at her in a frenzy.

Yuan Yao's calf was entangled.

Her complexion changed slightly, but her reaction was extremely fast; she instantly summoned the Phantom Spirit Sword and fiercely slashed at the roots entangling her.

With a "crackle," the seemingly incredibly tough roots were easily severed.

Before Yuan Yao could even catch her breath, a black shadow flashed out from an open space beside her and swept past her.

Yuan Yao's heart tightened; she hurriedly turned her head to look.

She saw that the shadow was a young man dressed in the black sect attire of the Double Polarity Sect!

At that moment, the man firmly held a blue small flag identical to the one previously stuck in the tree, a faint smile playing on his lips as he provocatively curled his lips at Yuan Yao.

"This is mine."

After Yuan Yao cut off the roots entangling her, she noticed the Double Polarity Sect man turning to leave.

Yuan Yao directly pursued him.

The Double Polarity Sect man sensed the aura behind him, the smile on his face fading slightly; he drew his sword, turned, and said, "Since you've come to my door…"

Before he could finish his words, a fierce sword wind swept him onto the ground.

The Double Polarity Sect man's face changed drastically; he quickly scrambled to his feet.

He was about to engage Yuan Yao in battle, but saw her circling around him.

So fast that only a white afterimage could be seen!

The man's eyelids twitched violently, a bad premonition surged in his heart, and he immediately raised his sword to strike toward the afterimage.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sword after sword, yet none could hit Yuan Yao!

The man wanted to withdraw from this position, but just as he tried to rush out, he suddenly slammed hard into a transparent "wall," leaving him dazed and stumbling back a few steps.

At this moment, Yuan Yao stopped.

She looked at the man and smiled.

The man was first dazzled by her outstanding appearance, then realized something, and his face turned panicked as he scanned the surroundings.

This is…

Boom!

The overwhelming gravity surged like a flood, instantly bending his back and knees; he planted his long sword into the ground to support his posture, preventing himself from kneeling.

This is a gravity formation!

Yuan Yao slowly opened her mouth: "Fellow cultivator, I need you to repent a little."

Repent?!

The man's complexion turned odd as he stared at Yuan Yao standing outside the formation barrier; he reluctantly pulled out the blue small flag he had just obtained from his chest and said, "Here, I'll return it to you."

"Quickly dispel the formation!"

The man's face turned slightly pale as he urged.

Yuan Yao suddenly said, "Do you want your secret to be heard by others?"

The man was bewildered; he simply couldn't understand what she was saying.

Yuan Yao continued, "If you mind, I can set up a sound-isolating barrier formation."

"What the hell are you saying?!" panic appeared in the man's pupils.

Yuan Yao set up a sound-isolating formation while saying, "I already said it—I need you to perform 'repentance' in front of me."

"Repentance? Why should I repent?" the man said, bewildered. "Just take this flag!"

Yuan Yao shook her head.

She didn't care about her ranking in the secret realm's elimination trial, because her biggest purpose in coming here was to properly capture the target person.

Thereby extending her lifespan.

The whole capturing business is truly harmful to others and beneficial to oneself.

Yuan Yao's eyes curved into a smile, her voice melodious: "Come on, confess to me—what wrong have you done?"

"Fellow Daoist, you..." the man still couldn't grasp the situation; he was about to say something when suddenly the pressure on his body intensified, crushing his internal organs, making him barely able to breathe.

The man stared at her in horror, "What exactly do you intend to do?!"

"Confess to me." Yuan Yao smiled.

The man thought this girl was crazy!

He came here to compete, not to do some irrelevant trivialities!

The man had no idea who Yuan Yao really was, so how could he possibly tell her his private secrets?

"You better let me go quickly!" the man threatened angrily.

And as soon as his words fell, he heard the sound of a finger snap.

The next moment—

Countless arrows rained down from above, making the man's pupils contract; he quickly gripped his sword to fend off the arrows!

But under such gravitational pressure, his movements were restricted, and he could hardly withstand the hail of arrows!

In the blink of an eye, his arm was struck by a spirit arrow!

"Ah!"

The spirit arrow embedded in his arm dissipated, and blood began to seep out.

Yuan Yao's voice came: "Don't be afraid, I've already isolated the sound; outsiders won't hear our conversation. So, go ahead and confess to me boldly!"

The man's face shifted, he gritted his teeth and said: "No!"

He would absolutely not obey!

Moments later.

The man, beaten half to death, knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"I confess… *sob*..."
