Refining Ruins Cauldron

Everyone sighed in admiration, asking themselves honestly that they could never have done that.

In a normal competition, one might be able to show off their skills for a while, but fairness and impartiality are still important.

But this is the outer sect competition, and the rewards are incredibly generous.

The first place winner even has a chance to become the sect leader's personal disciple!

That's a golden opportunity to rise to the top in one step!

This approach is appreciated by some and despised by others.

On the high platform, some people were already getting restless.

Ziyan suddenly stood up, her face so gloomy it could drip water.

"Liu Wanqian, this is an outer sect competition! How dare you treat it like this?!"

"A mere disciple dares to presume to tamper with the sect's rules? What audacity!"

"If you feel your victory was unfair, then voluntarily admit defeat and be eliminated!"

Ziyan spoke angrily, clearly using her spiritual power.

Her sharp voice echoed in everyone's ears. Her curses not only targeted Liu Wanqian, but also the thousands of outer disciples present!

Who is Liu Wanqian?

The geniuses of the outer sect of Lingjian Peak are extremely rare, even in the entire outer sect.

He is an upright person with great strength, which is enough to earn him the respect of many people.

Although the crowd could not be as magnanimous as Liu Wanqian, they would still stand on his side in their hearts.

Ziyan's rebuke put her in direct opposition to almost all the disciples.

Liu Wanqian frowned and turned to look at Ziyan on the high platform.

His face showed displeasure, but he suppressed his dissatisfaction: "This disciple has no intention of tampering with the sect's rules. It's just that this disciple feels that since it is a grand competition, it should be based on fairness and impartiality. What is the point of winning by taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, even if one achieves victory or defeat?"

"Fairness and justice? The cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world, who cares about fairness and justice?"

Ziyan sneered, her anger reaching the point of losing her mind.

"If you dare say another word, you've already lost..."

"stop."

Before Ziyan could finish speaking, a cold voice interrupted the conversation.

The speaker was none other than Hua Wuheng, the peak master of Lingjian Peak.

With his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation and profound sword intent, he exuded an aura of authority even when he was just standing up.

Hua Wuheng always had a smile on his face, though it was a faint one, it made him kind to everyone.

But at this moment, that smile vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness like the edge of a sword.

This chilling coldness has already locked onto Ziyan.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to shut up so quickly.

"Elder Wei, is this how your Enforcement Hall bullies people with its power?"

"You keep spouting sect rules and regulations, what, are the prodigies of Spirit Sword Peak so unworthy of your Enforcement Hall's attention?"

After a few words, even Wei Qianbo, who was usually very calm, couldn't help but frown.

"Peak Master Hua, these have always been the rules of the sect. They were passed down from our ancestors and cannot be treated lightly."

"If we agree to Liu Wanqian's rescheduling today, and then Liu Baiwan and Liu Qianwan appear tomorrow, how can the martial arts competition continue?"

"The sect doesn't have that much free time to play along with their nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuheng sneered.

"That may be true, but what everyone seeks is nothing more than fairness and justice, and not wanting to take advantage of others in their time of need. This kind of character is rare and precious throughout the entire cultivation world. Shouldn't it be encouraged?"

Suddenly, Hua Wuheng changed the subject.

"Or is Elder Wei planning to settle a personal score and retaliate against an outer disciple, thus displaying his divine power?"

Although he didn't say who the outer disciple was, anyone who wasn't a fool could guess that he was talking about Gu Qingyun!

Two matches in a row, both were against disciples of Luoyun Peak, and both were at the ninth level of Qi Refining!

What a coincidence!

Even if Gu Qingyun's fate was to be this way, what about this third round?

Wei Qianbo's expression changed again, equally surprised that Hua Wuheng was planning to publicly break off relations with him!

If I insist on my own opinion today and force Gu Qingyun and Liu Wanqian to fight, even if it's not true, everyone will say it is!

Others might be able to do this, but Wei Qianbo can't!

He is the head of the Enforcement Hall!

For a dignified Golden Core expert to target an outer disciple who is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, it would only make people laugh their heads off!

Suddenly, the room fell silent, as if the air itself had frozen.

The peak masters' expressions were priceless; they awaited what would happen next.

In the end, it was Nalan Feixue who spoke first.

"What Liu Wanqian said makes sense. Just as Peak Master Hua said, it is a blessing for the Longevity Sect to have a disciple with such a temperament."

"As predecessors, we should not advocate or promote such practices, nor should we suppress them under the pretext of sect rules."

"A contest should be based on fairness and impartiality, and postponing it by one day is perfectly reasonable."

Wei Qianbo's face darkened, but he didn't dare to reply, suppressing his displeasure.

Once you start talking, others will naturally follow.

"Since both peak masters have said so, Elder Wei, postponing it for one day will allow all outer disciples to make full preparations and perform at their best. It's a win-win situation!"

The speaker was Shen Jinsan.

"I second that. That kid Liu Wanqian, hmm, not bad."

Quan Wufeng and Meng Huo spoke succinctly; he was always straightforward, and Liu Wanqian's actions were exactly to his liking.

Although Qiu Jiuyou of Xuanqing Peak did not respond, he coughed a few times to clear his throat, but nodded in agreement.

Grandma Fengjing, however, was indifferent to worldly affairs, resting with her eyes closed. She disagreed, but did not object.

Neutrality, in effect, also indicates one's stance.

Faced with pressure from the peak masters, even if Wei Qianbo held a high position and great power, he could not act rashly at this moment.

To reiterate, the Longevity Sect is not a one-man show by Luoyun Peak, and it is not up to Wei Qianbo to make decisions alone.

Wei Qianbo's expression changed repeatedly, his fists clenching and unclenching, loosening and clenching again.

Finally, I could only take a deep breath and slowly relax.

"If that's the case, if I still stubbornly stick to my own opinion, wouldn't I become that kind of inflexible old stubbornness?"

"The outer sect competition has been postponed and will continue tomorrow!"

"Let's call it a day."

After saying that, Wei Qianbo lost the will to stay any longer, got up and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ziyan glared viciously at Gu Qingyun, and then glanced at Liu Wanqian before leaving indignantly.

She'll remember this debt!

The other peak masters also left one after another.

With the competition postponed, the disciples naturally didn't linger and left in a bustling manner.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Liu!"

Gu Qingyun cupped his hands in thanks and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"No need for further words. All I'm looking for is a worthy opponent, and you now have that qualification."

Liu Wanqian remained calm, regaining her usual composure.

"I cannot rest easy if I cannot defeat my opponent fairly and squarely."

Liu Wanqian rarely showed a smile, then turned and left gracefully.

That silhouette was like a sword in its sheath; when it is drawn in the future, it will surely make a name for itself!

Gu Qingyun watched Liu Wanqian leave, his eyes filled with admiration.

He was truly impressed that the cultivation world had such a figure.

Even if he lost to Liu Wanqian, Gu Qingyun would not have the slightest complaint.

This is the kind of opponent that deserves respect!
