Refining Ruins Cauldron

It's... over?!

The key is that Gu Qingyun still won!

Many people rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had just seen wrong.

"Is that right? It's Senior Brother Liu who flew off the stage?"

"No...I'm not mistaken...it's Senior Brother Liu..."

"So... Gu Qingyun won?!"

"evildoer……"

Everyone stared in disbelief, speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.

At this moment, all eyes were on Gu Qingyun.

Regardless of other people's emotions or thoughts, Gu Qingyun at this moment deserves the title of "Outer Sect Prodigy"!

Despite being at the eighth level of Qi Refining and possessing only a mixed spiritual root, he still managed to defeat Liu Wanqian even under covert interference!

Such a sight is unbelievable unless you see it with your own eyes!

On the stage, Gu Qingyun used his sword to support his body, barely managing to stand, panting heavily.

Physical strength and spiritual energy are both depleted.

The power of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin was terrifying; even with the Golden Bell Shield protecting him, the aftershocks of the sword energy still injured Gu Qingyun.

His internal organs were churning violently, and he almost vomited blood on the spot. He endured all the pain by gritting his teeth!

Not only that, there was also Wei Qianbo's spiritual attack!

Although Ningzhen counterattacked, it was clear that Gu Qingyun was at a disadvantage in their battle of wits.

The backlash from his spiritual consciousness was severe; even now, Gu Qingyun still suffers from excruciating brain pain.

At this moment, he was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. The fact that he could still stand was entirely due to his strong willpower!

Fortunately, in the end, I was the winner.

"Gu Qingyun, I admit defeat this time, and I'm completely convinced!"

Liu Wanqian sheathed his sword and respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Qingyun.

Others might not be able to tell, but how could he not know that Gu Qingyun had clearly been disturbed just now, and that someone had secretly used dirty tricks!

That method was extremely clever; most people wouldn't even notice it!

Among those present, only the top peak masters and elders could do this!

Liu Wanqian wasn't stupid; he immediately guessed who the real culprit was.

But what's the point of saying it?

There's absolutely no evidence to prove that old devil's existence!

If the other party denies it outright, it will only cause Gu Qingyun even more trouble!

Such methods are shameful and equally pathetic.

On the high platform.

"Elder Wei, that's quite the method. Is a junior really worth treating like this?"

Hua Wuheng sneered. This Spirit Sword Peak Master never concerned himself with the trivial matters of the sect, focusing solely on cultivating the sword path.

But this time, he chose to step forward.

His tone was full of contempt and disdain, along with a hint of anger.

Hua Wuheng's voice wasn't deliberately amplified from the high platform, but it was still clear enough for the peak masters present to hear clearly.

He didn't believe it, and the others didn't notice.

Wei Qianbo's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly fell silent.

"I have my reasons for what I want to do, and I suppose I don't need to report to you?"

"Heh, what a fine excuse! A Golden Core cultivator, the head of the Enforcement Hall, the peak master of Luoyun Peak, bullying a mere Qi Refining eighth-level junior, and resorting to such underhanded methods..."

Hua Wuheng laughed out loud, as if he had heard a joke.

"Elder Wei has such great abilities and such prestige! I just wonder what others will think if this gets out..."

He didn't continue speaking, but just glanced at Wei Qianbo with a half-smile.

The latter's face darkened completely, becoming extremely ugly.

"What, are you threatening me with these words?"

"No, it's just a reminder."

Hua Wuheng's smile was forced and insincere.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

However, the audience below the stage could not see this undercurrent.

Their attention had long been drawn to Gu Qingyun.

From a lowly servant with mixed spiritual roots to a rising star in the outer sect, such a transformation in status is nothing short of earth-shattering!

As Gu Qingyun defeated Liu Wanqian, everything about him was spread like wildfire.

The servant's rise to power was enough to attract the attention of many disciples, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Changsheng Sect.

"Gu Qingyun, it seems you're truly about to rise to the top in one fell swoop..."

"With that kind of talent, it would be hard not to become famous!"

"Is this still the mixed spiritual root we remember? Who said mixed spiritual roots are useless!"

"Gu Qingyun! Gu Qingyun! Gu Qingyun..."

As the elder judge announced, Gu Qingyun had successfully won this round of the competition.

Next up is Mingji.

The competition continues.

Gu Qingyun slowly stepped off the stage, his body swaying slightly.

Although I took the recovery pills, I still felt somewhat weak for the time being.

Fortunately, the external injuries were not serious; it was just that the internal spiritual energy was depleted and the spiritual consciousness was damaged, so he needed to recuperate as soon as possible.

"Gu Qingyun!"

As soon as I stepped off the stage, Luo Mei's voice came from beside me.

A fragrant breeze wafted over her, and the girl came straight to her side.

Her face was still pale, probably because her injuries hadn't fully healed.

However, this could not hide the excitement on Luo Mei's face.

"Wow, that's amazing! They actually beat Liu Wanqian!"

Those bright eyes, like stars and curved like crescent moons, gave Gu Qingyun a thumbs up.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingyun also laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"It was just luck. Senior Brother Liu's sword is very strong," Gu Qingyun said modestly.

Although the two didn't say much, they simply walked side by side, but their genuine feelings were still conveyed to each other's hearts.

An inexplicable sense of closeness quietly blossomed in their hearts.

Gu Qingyun had no intention of watching the next fight.

He chose a corner and quickly regained his composure.

Besides physical strength and spiritual power, the most crucial element is spiritual awareness.

Even with the Spirit Forging Technique, he still suffered severe damage after taking the spiritual attack of a Golden Core expert.

Not only that, but the move "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" almost cleaved Gu Qingyun in two, and he also suffered serious internal injuries!

There are still matches to come, so I need to recover as soon as possible!

Fortunately, after spending so much time at the Pill Hall, Gu Qingyun had accumulated some wealth.

Otherwise, it simply wouldn't be enough!

"Wei Qianbo..."

These three words suddenly popped into Gu Qingyun's mind, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

A dignified late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and even the head of the Enforcement Hall, who is almost an elder in the entire Longevity Sect, actually attacked me in front of everyone for that unruly and crazy woman!

Everything was beyond Gu Qingyun's expectations.

That old devil has no shame at all!

But that's not even the worst part!

Gu Qingyun refused to believe that the other peak masters hadn't noticed at such close range!

However, spiritual attacks are invisible and leave no trace. Unless concrete evidence is left on the spot, it is impossible to find any fault with this old ghost!

Even if someone wanted to help, there was nothing they could do!

The crucial point is that the Enforcement Hall is still in this old devil's hands!

What a blatant case of embezzlement!

Now, he has no chance against Wei Qianbo. Let alone venting his anger, if he really overestimates himself, he won't even know how he died.

"I must hurry up and improve my strength, especially if I'm at the same cultivation level..."

"Sigh, still too weak."

Gu Qingyun sighed.

He was confident that, at the same level, Wei Qianbo could never be his match!

Even within the entire Longevity Sect, no one can surpass him!

At that time, he will no longer have to suffer such humiliation and swallow these injustices in silence!

Ultimately, it's all because I'm still like an ant today!
