Not to mention, Bai Zihan sensed bloodlust—though it lasted only for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people might think that it was directed at the other four participants, but he knew that it was definitely directed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Look at him!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan smirked. His hatred for his sister was definitely very high, considering that he was showing killing intent just because he was Bai Xueqing’s brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, if Nie Fengzhuo was stupid enough to attack him now, then he would be more than happy to welcome it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such a convenient thing didn’t happen, and Nie Fengzhuo once again focused on the opponent before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Zihan... There is a powerful soul attached to that boy’s ring!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Emperor Feilian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(You’re awake?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only because I sensed a very powerful soul nearby. His power might have been very close to mine before death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Emperor Feilian said as she also began to observe Nie Fengzhuo—or perhaps Du Changsheng, who Bai Zihan couldn’t see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Can he sense you?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Emperor’s voice was amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not! That soul has been damaged to a state similar to when I met you. However, I had Soul-Confining Artifacts which gradually helped me regain my strength. So, you don’t need to worry about my existence being revealed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan nodded, though he wasn’t worried about revealing her existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new thought bloomed in Bai Zihan’s mind as he remembered the System Information of Nie Fengzhuo, and then he looked at Immortal Emperor Feilian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(What if... I can also bring her back?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By looking at Du Changsheng’s destiny, it seemed like, with the help of Nie Fengzhuo, he would emerge alive again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, couldn’t the same method be used to bring back Immortal Emperor Feilian?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could accomplish that, wouldn’t he have an Immortal Emperor as his ally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he wouldn’t need to worry about anything in this world, even the revived Du Changsheng, as his cultivation realm was still lower than Feilian’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But well, he wasn’t sure whether things would go that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first problem was whether Immortal Emperor Feilian would even help him. There was a chance she might not keep her word and become his enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even if he could revive her, he first needed to make sure she would definitely be loyal to him and him only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the second problem: should he let Nie Fengzhuo live?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one knows, giving time for the protagonist to grow is akin to inviting death to yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he even let him live, since he seemed to hate the Bai Clan so much just from his earlier behavior?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming his enemy might be inevitable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, should he even let him reach that point where he could revive Nie Fengzhuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to weigh his options and find the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, he was going to do what he came here for—observe Nie Fengzhuo, though he didn’t think that was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Nie Fengzhuo’s actual cultivation being in the Soul Formation Realm and his opponent just Golden Core Realm, it wasn’t even enough for a warm-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Fengzhuo and the other four participants seemed to have regained their senses and were now ready to face each other after the commotion caused by Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the cultivators suddenly roared, his voice filled with defiance and confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t underestimate me!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a burst of Qi, he surged forward—his saber gleaming as it arced through the air, wind howling in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the boldest among the four—muscular, fierce-eyed, and clearly unwilling to wait and be seen as a coward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone shall know my power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber swung down toward Nie Fengzhuo’s head with a blazing trail of spiritual fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nie Fengzhuo didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A screech of metal rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone’s shock, Nie Fengzhuo raised just two fingers—and caught the saber cleanly between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire arena gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He blocked it... with his fingers?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacker’s face twisted in disbelief, veins bulging in his arms as he tried to force the blade downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Fengzhuo’s gaze was cold—dispassionate. Like he wasn’t even seeing the man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too weak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight twist of his fingers, the saber shattered like brittle glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the cultivator could react, Nie Fengzhuo raised his other hand—and struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing flashy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the force was enough to send the attacker flying like a broken kite, blood spraying from his mouth as he crashed into the barrier surrounding the arena with a loud BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crumpled to the floor, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the referee’s eyes twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t even use a technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected from one of the favorites to win this preliminary selection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three cultivators instantly broke into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t even started attacking yet—and one of them was already down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the smarter ones gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t scatter! Attack together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that shout, although the other two didn’t want to take orders from another, they knew he was right, and the three attacked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They charged Nie Fengzhuo from three sides, Qi gathered as they each prepared their strongest techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Triple Seal Formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slammed his palms together—summoning a massive golden rune above Nie Fengzhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another drew a bow and launched a blazing arrow wrapped in wind and flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third slammed his fists into the ground, creating jagged earthen spikes that shot up like spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a coordinated, desperate attempt. The crowd held its breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the teamwork could be described as acceptable at best, it was still admirable since they all were strangers—and competitors at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, such teamwork could still be praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An average Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would have struggled against attacks from all sides—and that too, so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Fengzhuo raised his hand slowly—and then struck the ground with his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shockwave erupted from beneath him—pure force, rippling outward like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formation above shattered before it could activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spikes crumbled to dust mid-rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow froze midair, caught in the trembling void—then exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three attackers were flung backward, coughing blood, landing in a heap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that... it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd sat in stunned silence.
