Chapter 396 Appearance
The news that Yang Jingjing would participate in the next election was like throwing a new bomb into the already chaotic imperial election situation.
Anyone with eyes can see why Yang Jingjing participated.
While watching the Imperial Election's next round of matches, the Phoenix Medicine Sect Master saw a young girl in a blue dress go on stage to fight. He moved his lips and cupped his hands to the Lingtian Pavilion Master beside him, saying, "The Lingtian Pavilion's great kindness will never be forgotten by our Phoenix Medicine Sect."
The Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion looked at the girl on the stage with her long sword and sharp movements, remained silent for a moment, and then waved his hand: "This is not just for you. This child has her own plans."
He knew about Yang Jingjing's mother's situation, but after all, she was his own son. That's why he often punished his son in front of this child, hoping to let the child release the resentment in his heart and let go of his prejudice and murderous intent towards his son.
But now it seems that won't work.
Since assuming the position of young master of Lingtian Pavilion, this child has been constantly cultivating his own power.
If Lin Zhao, whom she is pursuing, wins this time, then Lingtian Pavilion will have no say in the future, and her son will have no say at all.
The Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion knew that his son would eventually face this day, but he never expected that the child would want to bring it forward so soon.
"Do we really want Grandpa to personally bury his son, a father with white hair,?"
He looked at the girl on the stage, a hint of weariness flashing across his aged face.
Yang Jingjing was unaware of the old man's thoughts. After defeating all her opponents in one go, the referee allowed her to choose her opponent automatically.
Yang Jingjing gripped the knife, her gaze slowly shifting to a fighting arena. Looking at Ji Wantang, dressed in blood-red robes, who resembled a nightmare, her hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
She still can't forget the feeling of being so close to death when she fought Ji Wantang back then.
The gap between her and Ji Wantang is only greater now than it was then. This time, no one will have the chance to stop Ji Wantang in time. If Ji Wantang has murderous intent towards her, her challenge will be tantamount to courting death.
Yang Jingjing gripped the hilt of her knife tightly, the tip pointing in Ji Wantang's direction. But when she met Ji Wantang's narrow phoenix eyes, Yang Jingjing felt her throat go cold.
As a Nascent Soul stage expert, even though there were thousands of people between them, she could still clearly see the mockery and contempt in Ji Wantang's eyes as she looked at her from the arena.
"I want……"
"I've already challenged this opponent, so don't try to take it from me, okay?"
Before she could finish speaking, Yang Jingjing heard a somewhat familiar voice from below the stage. She was startled and looked in one direction.
A plain-looking girl in blue waved the registration jade slip in her hand. Meeting her gaze, she smiled, wiped her face, and revealed a beautiful and refined face.
"Thank you so much for these days."
Yang Jingjing sheathed her broadsword and looked at Lin Zhao: "I've done all I can. The rest is up to you."
Lin Zhao gave a thumbs-up, then leaped onto the platform arranged for him by the staff. Without even summoning his weapon, he used his spiritual energy to spread his voice throughout the square: "Lin Zhao of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, please enlighten me."
The sound fell to the ground, followed by a long silence.
The next moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
This moment was more sensational than even when Ji Wantang announced his participation in the next election.
Upon seeing this, the sect leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect chuckled and scolded, "This girl always likes to create this kind of spectacle, no matter where she is."
The Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion looked at Lin Zhao and sensed something. His expression suddenly became unfathomable: "Young people are good to be a little arrogant. Besides, her opponent is Ji Wantang, who has been known as invincible among the younger generation in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane for many years."
After learning that one had to defeat ten opponents at once to be qualified to challenge Ji Wantang, Lin Zhao laughed and said, "We're too late, but it's just in time. Everyone, can challenging ten at once be considered a one-against-ten victory?"
The referee turned pale when he heard that.
Ji Wantang caused him a lot of trouble when she first appeared. Ji Wantang was ruthless and every move was meant to kill. Even though his cultivation had reached the Integration stage, he was almost too late to save people each time, causing many contestants to die at Ji Wantang's hands.
But even if Ji Wantang was arrogant, she only showed ruthlessness in battle. Lin Zhao was practically violating her dignity as a referee. "Of course not! Lin Zhao of the Phoenix Medicine Sect receives a red warning!"
Lin Zhao: "..." I was just asking, how did I end up getting a warning?
"What a bad start." Lin Zhao sighed, no longer daring to do anything strange, and stood there obediently, letting all eyes fall on him.
She was well aware of how unfavorable the current situation was for her.
Of course, she knew better than anyone how to break this deadlock.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected.
You can be arrogant, you can be rampant, you can even be like Ji Wantang, but the premise is that you must have the absolute power to suppress all negative comments.
If you are strong enough, all your negative shortcomings are just a reflection of your strength.
Therefore, ever since Lin Zhao appeared, she has no intention of keeping a low profile.
In today's situation, keeping a low profile will only be seen as weakness and being easy to bully. If you bear the spotlight but cannot demonstrate the corresponding abilities, then you should be prepared to be despised by millions of people.
However, perhaps because Lin Zhao was too arrogant, she angered the referee and the other contestants. Her first opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.
"There aren't many Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators in this election, and I've been given a great start?"
Looking at the sword cultivator opposite him, who was filled with murderous intent, Lin Zhao could tell at a glance that this person definitely had many lives on his hands.
In other words, he's a skilled player.
"Duan Yannian, ranked seventh on the Imperial Selection List, please enlighten me!"
Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
Duan Yannian raised his head, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.
Lin Zhao was ranked sixth on the Imperial Selection List. Although some people initially thought this ranking was too low, given the rapid decline in his popularity in recent days, most now believe that Lin Zhao might not even have deserved this ranking.
After all, what the people from the Diyin Sect said was right; Lin Zhao had never actually fought against any of the top figures in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.
This has made Duan Yannian, who is ranked below her, patient for a long time.
But instead of constantly mocking and insulting others, he waited patiently.
Duan Yannian looked at Lin Zhao and said calmly, "I know you are not as bad as those people say, but I also think that your sixth place ranking is a bit too high."
Faced with his question, Lin Zhao did not answer: "You are a member of the current royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire, aren't you?"
Duan Yannian nodded: "But I won't deliberately lose to you just because the royal family is biased towards you."
Lin Zhao chuckled.
It has to be said that Lin Zhao's appearance, revealed at a time when her reputation is not good, makes people wonder.
A cultivator who possesses only beauty but lacks strength to match it, regardless of gender, will become nothing more than a plaything in the eyes of others.
"I asked you this question simply to confirm how to fight."
As the referee gave the order, Duan Yannian unleashed a powerful sword aura from his grey-white longsword and thrust it toward Lin Zhao.
"Lin Zhao, it's time for you to pay the price for your undeserved reputation!"
