He couldn't risk the Sect's secret being known by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu foolishly thought that by capturing Bai Zihan, he could make a deal with the Li-Zhao Clans and perhaps even use this chance to deal with the Bai Clan altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Bai Zihan in hand, threatening the Bai Clan or Bai Tianheng would also become possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was Jin Yuelin-by capturing her, he could guarantee that Jin Yuanzhan kept his mouth shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking foolishly and hastily, Elder Wu convinced himself it made more sense the more he thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His killing intent surged higher, his Qi storming through the corridor, as his mind painted victory before the battle had even begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But across from him, Bai Zihan's eyes gleamed-sharp, mocking, as though he could already see the laughable delusion written across Elder Wu's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, not like it is a bad idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan might have done the same if he were in Elder Wu's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jin Yuelin, go there and stay beside Kong Zhanghong for a while. Things are going to get a bit rowdy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Yuelin nodded and quickly darted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although cultivation-wise, Jin Yuelin was stronger, she still wasn't trained or knowledgeable in any technique, which was why Kong Zhanghong's protection was still necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu was not a weak person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an elder of a Major Sect, he stood firmly in the Void Refinement Stage- though only at the early realm of that stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, with such cultivation, Elder Wu thought himself significantly stronger than Bai Zihan, who he believed should only be in the Soul Formation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already planning his move-one fell swoop, quick and decisive, before others could arrive and disrupt them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Qi coiled around him like a storm ready to break, sharp and suffocating, as his killing intent locked entirely onto Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant brat,\" he muttered coldly, \"you've brought this upon yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm slowly rose, gathering force, preparing to crush Bai Zihan before the youth could even react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment his intent sharpened, Bai Zihan's eyes narrowed, lips curving into a faint, mocking smile-calm and calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Looks like he is going to hold back.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Elder Wu wanted to capture him rather than kill. Killing him would only bring more trouble than Elder Wu could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, naturally, against someone he viewed as weaker, Elder Wu was going to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was precisely the chance Bai Zihan needed to take advantage of- when he was still being underestimated and looked down upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu worked quickly and immediately appeared before Bai Zihan, preparing to immobilize him by breaking his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he got was a knee strike right up his chin, almost breaking his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned and pained by the strike. He didn't know what happened or how Bai Zihan was able to even injure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One should know-with the difference in their cultivation and how refined his body was even weapons couldn't put a scratch on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here he was, his mouth bleeding profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have the luxury to think as Bai Zihan was just getting started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Eternal Spirit Sword, he immediately began to target Elder Wu's limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Elder Wu, Bai Zihan also had no intention of letting him go-not after attacking him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eternal Spirit Sword flashed with blinding brilliance, its edge biting toward Elder Wu's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted desperately, his sleeve ripping apart as sparks flew from the clash of swords against Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu spat, his face darkening as he countered with a palm strike infused with the weight of a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan did not dodge. He met the blow head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor quaked from the impact, dust and stone spraying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when the smoke cleared, Elder Wu staggered back a step while Bai Zihan stood perfectly still-his robe fluttering, his body utterly unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(W-what...?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu's pupils shrank. His technique should have shattered bones, crippled meridians, left this boy broken on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Bai Zihan tilted his head slightly, brushing the dust off his shoulder, a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mocking smirk tugging at his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all, Wu Zhankong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You... You are in the Spirit Severing Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu's eyes widened at the realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, like many others, had previously assumed that Bai Zihan's fame was exaggerated, and to support that assumption, Bai Zihan didn't participate in the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>most prestigious tournament for young people like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which clearly meant he was afraid-or so he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the Spirit Severing Realm cultivation Bai Zihan revealed, it was clear\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their assumptions were wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his cultivation, sweeping the tournament would have been child's play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Just what is he?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People at his age barely managed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, while thousand-year-old geniuses might manage to reach the Soul Formation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Spirit Severing Realm? At 18 years of age?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was unheard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, Elder Wu's eyes burned with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, even if Bai Zihan was in the Spirit Severing Realm, he felt confident he could take care of him easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu's face twisted with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spirit Severing Realm or not, you're still beneath me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Qi surged like a tidal wave as he struck, palm winds carrying enough force\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to tear the corridor apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Bai Zihan's form blurred, splitting into nine identical shadows, each one\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>flowing like water, weaving between Elder Wu's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish! Swish! Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword-swift arcs of afterimages and mirages,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so refined and seamless that even a Void Refinement cultivator's eyes struggled\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to follow. \"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu cursed, his strikes cutting through phantoms, his attacks scattering\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>against empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single blow landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he thought he cornered the real Bai Zihan, his palm pierced a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shadow that dissolved into mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(How...? He's faster than me?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu's heart thudded in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(With my cultivation, speed should never be an issue. That movement art-yes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've seen it before, that Bai Xueqing used it. But hers was nothing like this...!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just the Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword. It was something beyond-polished to a state of perfection, wielded with terrifying precision. The shadows swirled around him, each carrying killing intent, each reminding him that his every weakness was laid bare. Sweat prickled his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough of this trickery!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Qi flared violently, fire surging from his body like a blazing inferno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sweeping gesture, crimson flames erupted outward in a storm, searing through the corridor and scorching everything in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire engulfed the shadows, erasing them one after another until only one\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>figure remained-the true Bai Zihan, standing calmly in the middle of the raging\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>flames. Elder Wu's lips curled into a savage grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you! Let's see how you dodge this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust his palm forward, a blazing sphere of destructive fire roaring out like\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a sun, swallowing Bai Zihan whole. The corridor shook under the heat, walls blackening, stone cracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion thundered, flames surging violently until nothing could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu straightened, his breath heavy, his smirk brimming with cold\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. So in the end, you only had speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then... the flames parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the inferno, a figure stepped out-robe unburnt, skin untouched,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his aura calm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfectly unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Wu's eyes went wide, his blood running cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(That was my sect's Flame-Severing Palm... even a Void Refinement cultivator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>should've been reduced to ashes!
