Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

"Senior Sister Lu, you're too kind!"

Zhang Xiaofan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Lu Xueqi below the stage.

Lu Xueqi suppressed her surging blood and magical power, a blush rising on her usually cold face, and said calmly:
"I was outmatched, I lost."

She appeared indifferent, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Xiaofan, as if she wanted to remember the man who had defeated her.

Although the battle here has been decided, the fight between Lin Jingyu and Chang Jian remains deadlocked.

The battle between the two sides was also quite exciting, but their strengths were not far apart.

In the end, Chang Jian, with his superior magical power, barely managed to win.

Chang Jian entered the Qingyun Sect before Lin Jingyu, and it was Chang Jian who guided Lin Jingyu when he first joined.

"Junior brother, you're too kind." Chang Jian was slightly out of breath; he had truly given his all in this battle against Lin Jingyu.

If he hadn't been a student for many years, he might not have been able to defeat Lin Jingyu this time.

This junior brother Lin's aptitude is truly extraordinary.

No wonder that back then, all the peak masters except Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak were vying to take Lin Jingyu as their disciple.

He caught up with him after only seven years of cultivation.

It’s amazing!
"Senior Brother's magical power is truly admirable!"

Although Lin Jingyu felt it was a bit of a pity that he failed to advance, achieving a top-four finish this time was already quite good.

Besides, losing to Chang Jian isn't shameful for him.

The final two were decided, and both Chang Jian and Zhang Xiaofan were greatly exhausted.

Just as Zeng Shuchang was about to suggest that the two rest for a while to recover their magical power before the final match, Chang Jian spoke up:

"I choose to concede defeat in this final match."

He knew very well that even Lu Xueqi's powerful divine ability, the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, had failed to defeat Zhang Xiaofan.

Then he naturally had no chance of defeating Zhang Xiaofan.

It's better to just admit defeat to avoid losing too badly.

"Are you sure?" Zeng Shuchang paused for a moment, glanced at Xu Qing, and when Xu Qing didn't react, he asked again.

"Junior Brother Xiao Fan is incredibly strong. I admit I'm no match for him, so there's no need to continue the fight."

Chang Jian was very rational and conceded defeat gracefully.

"Senior Brother Chang..." Zhang Xiaofan was also somewhat moved.

Zeng Shuchang nodded, and then, seeing that Xu Qing still did not react, announced:

"The champion of the 20th Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament is Zhang Xiaofan from Dazhu Peak!"

As Zeng Shuchang made the announcement, many disciples cheered.

With the champion decided, it means that Zhang Xiaofan will be the leader of this generation of disciples.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Xiao Fan." Chang Jian congratulated Zhang Xiao Fan with a smile.

Zhang Xiaofan was somewhat at a loss. He had a good relationship with Chang Jian, but he didn't expect the other party to do this for him.

"No need to say more, you're very strong, and I don't want to lose too badly." Chang Jian patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder with a smile.

"Senior brother is joking. With your strength, it wouldn't be easy for me to win." Zhang Xiaofan also flattered his opponent.

At the end of the martial arts tournament, the four strongest participants will receive rewards of varying degrees.

The disciples of Dazhu Peak surrounded Zhang Xiaofan, all of them pleasantly surprised, never expecting that Zhang Xiaofan would be the champion in the end.

That's really impressive.

The Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament has been held for 20 sessions, and this is the first time that Dazhu Peak has won the championship.

The happiest person was Tian Buyi. He originally thought that Zhang Xiaofan was stupid and clumsy, and that he would only get the lowest ranking in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

Now that Zhang Xiaofan has won the championship, Dazhu Peak finally has a disciple who is worthy of recognition.

Shuiyue, Shang Zhengliang, and others all congratulated Tian Buyi, whose mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head, his smile impossible to suppress.

After Xu Qing offered a few words of encouragement to Zhang Xiaofan and the others, he arranged for Zeng Shuchang to reward the four of them.

These things, of course, do not require him to do personally.

Xu Qing needs to continue analyzing the power of the Immortal Execution Sword and strive to deduce this killing technique as soon as possible.

At the same time, they were also waiting for representatives from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley to arrive at Qingyun Sect to discuss taking action against the Demonic Sect. In front of the Illusion Moon Cave, Wan Jianyi, dressed in white, looked at Xu Qing approaching and said:

"Senior brother."

"What is it?" Xu Qing asked indifferently.

"Are you really determined to start a war between good and evil?" Wan Jianyi heard about this from Tian Buyi, Shuiyue, and others.

Now I can't help but ask.

"What, are you still thinking about that woman?"

Xu Qing paused slightly, staring at the old man Wan Jianyi with a half-smile.

When Wan Jianyi was venturing into the cultivation world, he had an ambiguous relationship with a woman from the Demonic Sect.

Wan Jianyi was stunned for a moment, and a stunningly beautiful figure immediately appeared in his mind.

She was dressed in black, with a black veil over her face, yet possessed a face that could launch a thousand ships.

That was the Holy Envoy of the Ghost King Sect, Suzaku—Youji.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse back then, Wan Jianyi did feel a strong attraction to him.

Unfortunately, one was righteous and the other was demonic, so neither of them expressed their feelings, keeping them hidden deep inside.

"Senior brother is joking. I have already put this matter behind me." Wan Jianyi quickly regained his composure and said calmly.

Xu Qing gently shook his head: "I don't care whether you've let go or not, there will inevitably be a battle between the righteous and the demonic, and you yourself are aware of this."

Since this battle is bound to break out sooner or later, let's take the initiative.

The demonic sect must be destroyed, and Qingyun shall rule the cultivation world!

Upon hearing those last words, Wan Jianyi's pupils dilated dramatically, and his heart was filled with a storm of emotions.

I never expected that his senior brother would have such ambitions!

Dominating the cultivation world is something that no sect has been able to achieve for many years.

"Senior brother, do you know that this will inevitably lead to the deaths of many people?" Wan Jianyi said in a deep voice.

"How can one see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Without going through hardships and challenges, these disciples can never be considered true cultivators."

"That's how we all got through it back then, and they won't be any different."

Before Wan Jianyi could refute, Xu Qing spoke again: "Besides, I don't have that much time to waste on the struggle between good and evil."

This thousand-year-old feud should finally come to a complete end!

Wan Jianyi could sense Xu Qing's determination. He remained silent for a moment, knowing it was impossible to persuade Xu Qing, and asked one last question:
"What are the chances that you, senior brother, will win?"

"The evil cult will be destroyed! A bunch of villains cannot stop my will!"

Xu Qing chuckled lightly, stopped wasting words with Wan Jianyi, and stepped into the Illusion Moon Cave.

Wan Jianyi watched as Xu Qing gradually disappeared into the cave, thinking, "The Demonic Sect will surely perish."

The confidence he exudes demonstrates his exceptional grasp of the upcoming battle between good and evil.

"Forget it, I'm no longer qualified to concern myself with Qingyun's affairs. Thinking about it so much is useless."

Wan Jianyi stood there shaking his head; he no longer even had the identity of a Qingyun Sect disciple.

He was a dead man and had no right to meddle in other people's business.

I don't need to worry about that.

not to mention……

Since his senior brother entered the Illusion Moon Cave, he has found it increasingly difficult to understand him.

Taiqing Realm!
He has also reached this level.

But he couldn't see through his senior brother.

This shows that the other party's level is far above his.

With that kind of power, the outcome of this battle between good and evil might really be different.

Once Wan Jianyi understood this, he stopped there and returned to the Ancestral Hall.

Given his status, he cannot leave the ancestral hall for too long.
