The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 198 Xiang Qiubai's Wrath

The sound was powerful and resounded throughout the entire venue, leaving everyone stunned by the sudden turn of events. Immediately, the white-haired old man's expression darkened, and he was about to speak when he was stopped by a telepathic transmission in his ear.

"Since the sect leader hasn't spoken yet, let him be! When it comes to causing trouble, I'm afraid few core disciples can compare to Li Tian from your sect!" The black-robed elder gave a half-smile, without revealing any emotion, and secretly reminded the Grand Elder.

"Very well!" The white-haired elder's eyes flickered, and then he made a decision in his heart. In any case, the more chaotic the Jade Purity Sect was, the more advantageous it would be for them.

"Hmph... Who is this person? How dare he speak so arrogantly to Senior Sister Leng!?" Many inner disciples, looking puzzled, were indignant. If the other party hadn't been a core disciple, they probably wouldn't have been so tactful in their words.

In their eyes: Who is that person on stage? Is Senior Sister Leng, a goddess to be reckoned with, even a dream come true?
If we're talking about whether someone is qualified to be a Daoist partner, then it should be Senior Sister Leng who makes the judgment. When did it become his turn?
"Shh...! Keep your voice down, this person is Li Tian, ​​a core disciple at the peak of the late stage of the tenth level!" An older inner disciple, his eyes wide with shock, quickly sent a telepathic message to his indignant companions beside him.

"Hiss~, that's... Senior Brother Li Tian!?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples, who were completely unaware of what was going on, felt a chill run down their spines. They immediately swallowed back the words they were about to say.

Li Tian, ​​that jinx!
They're not to be trifled with!
"Hoo~...!"

A streak of light suddenly broke free from the prayer mat and entered the dueling platform. The moment it entered, everyone felt a shiver run through them, as if they had been swept away by a venomous snake.

The next instant, the sensation vanished...

Immediately afterwards, the man who emerged from the dissipating light strolled leisurely, a small diagonal scar on his handsome right cheek, which was unruly and delicate.

Who else could this be but Li Tian?
"That was close!..." Seeing that Li Tian ignored their words, the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

"Too many people spoke up, thankfully he didn't take it to heart!" After figuring out the reason for the problem, the old inner disciple was also a little scared, but he didn't laugh at the crowd.

After all, most core disciples spend most of their time in seclusion and rarely come out unless there's something to do. It's quite normal that many newly promoted inner disciples have only heard of their names but don't actually know who they are.

"Junior sister, what's your decision?"

Li Tian, ​​with a sunny and confident demeanor, slowly walked towards the cold, elegant woman in a white dress who stood opposite him, sword sheathed. At first glance, he exuded a commanding presence, and the invisible aura emanating from him stunned many present.

"One wave subsides only for another to rise; they're really courting death!"

The man in purple sighed inwardly as he looked at the scene on the stage. Then, his gaze, fixed on the scarred man, suddenly changed, filling with a chilling murderous intent.

With Leng Ning's cold exterior but warm heart, how could Feng Ling not see that she had been in a bad mood ever since she left Qiaojian Peak alone?

Otherwise, even if Hu Ye's despicable behavior was extremely shameful, Leng Ning Shuang would not have been so ruthless towards him, causing him to be severely injured and on the verge of death.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't just Leng Ning Shuang who caused Hu Ye's serious injury; Feng Ling and Feng Yuqing were also involved!
"Hmm?" Suddenly, as if sensing something, the scarred man felt a chill run down his spine for no reason. He subconsciously looked around, but found nothing unusual.

"Damn it...!" When he came to his senses, he thought he was hallucinating because he had been in the Ghost Locking Tower for too long.

Immediately, Li Tian glanced furtively at the VIP section and muttered angrily, "It's all those two old geezers' fault! I'll settle this score with them sooner or later!"

A few days ago, just before the core disciple competition was about to begin, the Grand Elder personally sent people to the Ghost Locking Tower, intending to use the pretext of participating in the core disciple competition to bring Li Tian back in advance for preparation.

Unexpectedly, the withered old man guarding the tower and the old man in green robes forcibly refused, using the excuse that "the punishment time was insufficient."

In the end, it was only after the Grand Elder personally went there with the Jade Purity Sect Master's edict that the Ghost Locking Tower was able to resolve the matter as a compromise.

Therefore, Li Tian stayed in that dark and sunless corner on the tenth floor of the Ghost Locking Tower for more than seven days and seven nights, which has led to his current mental instability.

When Li Tian first emerged, he was in a daze, and it wasn't until the Grand Elder exhausted all his methods that he was barely restored to normal.

"If my junior sister doesn't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!"

Having suppressed his feelings for so long, Li Tian was extremely frustrated. Now that he had seen the girl he admired, he naturally expressed his feelings without any restraint.

What no one knows is:

On the day Feng Ling encountered Hu Ba at the Morning Cultivation Platform and was rescued by Leng Ning Shuang, when Qi Cheng secretly left, the "senior brother" he mentioned was actually Li Tian!

This title is mainly because Li Tian was originally Elder Luo Bin's eldest disciple, but was later favored by the Grand Elder and exceptionally accepted as his last disciple.

Unfortunately, after Li Tian followed the Grand Elder for a while, Long Yuzhong was disappointed to find that under the protection of the petty and protective Elder Luo Bin, he had developed an arrogant and domineering personality.

It is evident that the environment one is exposed to after birth has a tremendous impact on a person's character...!
"Whoosh...!" Just then, a strong wind suddenly arose. Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, Li Tian took a step forward and tried to take the smooth hand of the woman in the white dress.

In Li Tian's view, he was strong and handsome, and Leng Ning Shuang's silence meant that she agreed.

But he forgot one thing: a violent storm often needs time to brew before it arrives!
"Damn it! Li Tian, ​​are you looking for death?"

Seeing this, a furious male voice, unable to contain himself any longer, rang out. Immediately, the aloof woman curled her lip in disdain, and as her white dress billowed and she rapidly retreated, she drew her sword once more.

Immediately afterwards...

"Bang!..."

With two deafening roars, rubble scattered and dust billowed as a violent hurricane and a dazzling purple streak swept past the scarred man's cheeks from two different directions.

"Hiss~...!" Strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down the scarred man's forehead. Everyone who saw this gasped, feeling a chill for the scarred man who had narrowly escaped the attack.

"Bam—!"

Just as he regained his composure, a menacing sword enveloped in a blinding flash of light shot towards his face again. Caught off guard, Li Tian's pupils constricted sharply, and he was once again thrown into a frantic struggle. "Damn it! Xiang Qiubai, are you fucking insane?"

Seeing the white-clad man's figure emerge from the stream of light, the enraged Li Tian gritted his teeth and dodged several times at lightning speed before quickly summoning a longsword during an opening.

"Boom!" Another clash erupted on the field. The white-clad man, expressionless, swung his sword fiercely, unleashing thirty consecutive strikes in one breath, until he had completely extinguished the scarred man's anger before stopping.

"Crazy? I am crazy!" The man in white sneered at the scarred man, then a thought struck him, and he secretly transmitted his voice, "Don't you, Li Tian, ​​know that my third junior sister is the one Xiang Qiubai likes?"

Xiang Qiubai was already furious when the scarred man made his arrogant remarks, but just as he was about to teach Li Tian a lesson, he was stopped by the wild man beside him through telepathy.

Otherwise, Li Tian would probably have been dealt with by him long ago!

"Hmph! So what? Just because you like her doesn't mean Junior Sister Leng belongs to you. I like her too... so does that mean Junior Sister Leng belongs to me!?"

After his feet scraped the ground and his body retreated more than ten meters, the scarred man revealed an arrogant and taunting look, seemingly oblivious to his own mortality.

Previously, when Li Tian was in seclusion, he always instructed Qi Cheng to keep a close eye on Leng Ningshuang's movements and report to him immediately if there was any disturbance.

Now that Qi Cheng is "dead," this work has naturally come to an abrupt end. But from this alone, we can see how much importance Li Tian attached to Leng Ning Shuang.

"This Li Tian, ​​how could he be so disrespectful?"

Suddenly, a heated exchange of words echoed through the dueling arena, startling everyone, especially the man in white who was filled with shock and rage.

Generally speaking, when two people communicate secretly via telepathy, it's to give each other a way to save face. If one party brings the conversation to the forefront, it's considered an act of disrespect towards the other.

Clearly, Xiang Qiubai hadn't anticipated that Li Tian would actually reveal the contents of the telepathic message in public.

"Fine, you're asking for it! If I run into you today, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

The man in white glared angrily, his anger rising once more. Li Tian had only needed to lower his head slightly and say a few kind words, and Xiang Qiubai wouldn't have made a decision. But since the other party was so unappreciative, he didn't bother wasting any more breath.

Immediately afterward, disregarding what Li Tian and the others thought, Xiang Qiubai turned around and returned to the white-clad woman who had been coldly watching everything unfold.

"Hmph! What a joke, you think you can take me on?" Upon hearing this, Li Tian's heart skipped a beat, but he retorted sarcastically without backing down. He then ignored the increasingly chilling gaze from the man in white and turned to the woman in the white dress with an air of aloofness, asking, "Junior Sister Leng, do you agree or not?"

act recklessly!

Seeing that he was being ignored, Xiang Qiubai's face became even uglier, and anger surged in his heart, but this time he forced himself to keep it inside.

Unexpectedly, the man's next words caused the white-clad man, who was struggling to suppress his anger, to suddenly freeze in shock, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood...

"That depends on whether you can beat me!" The woman in the white dress spoke indifferently, then turned around and jumped off the dueling platform. Judging from her calm demeanor, she wasn't in a hurry to say what she had said.

"Li Tian, ​​don't go too far!"

A furious roar resounded through the sky. The words spoken by the woman in the white dress made the white-robed man, whose aura was unstable, furious and instantly enraged him.

In Xiang Qiubai's view, Leng Ningshuang's refusal to answer the scarred man's question stemmed from her apprehension about Li Tian's later cultivation level.

At this moment, faced with the other party's repeated pressure, Leng Ning Shuang, in a panic, blurted out a "delaying tactic" that could not fundamentally solve the problem!
As for Leng Ning Shuang, she still appears expressionless, but that's just her signature look. Who doesn't know that this "Ice and Snow Goddess" of the Jade Purity Sect is known for her aloofness?
Therefore, Xiang Qiubai concluded that Leng Ningshuang's mood was actually quite heavy! And all these troubles were caused by the scarred man in front of her!

"Good! This is what you said yourself, Junior Sister!" Li Tian looked excitedly at the alluring figure of the woman in the white dress from behind, a deep joy flashing in his eyes.

Originally, he thought it would take a lot of effort to win the heart of the beauty. If it was just a "martial arts contest to find a husband", then it would be much easier!
Immediately after thinking it through, Li Tianxin felt a surge of joy...!
"Hmph!" Li Tian turned his head and snorted coldly at Xiang Qiubai, who was on the verge of exploding. He curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and revealed an extremely strange and provocative expression, saying smugly, "I didn't force her...!"

"You, you...!" Seeing the scarred man calmly leap to the edge of the dueling platform after speaking, the white-robed man was so angry at the man's even more arrogant attitude that he was speechless.

However, what's puzzling is that Xiang Qiubai, in his rage, didn't launch an attack on his opponent...

"Qiu Bai, tone it down! All the elders are watching. We'll teach that young upstart Li Tian a lesson on the dueling stage. If you drag this out any longer, the Second Elder will be displeased!"

The kind-faced old man suddenly raised an eyebrow, sat in the VIP seat, and stroked his long white beard. None of the elders around him noticed anything unusual.

"Yes, Master! Qiu Bai knows his mistake...!"

Upon receiving Elder Liu Yidao's warning, the man in white immediately responded telepathically and leaped off the dueling platform, which had been forcibly occupied by several people for a short time to settle private matters.

“The core disciples are the backbone of the Jade Purity Sect in the future!” In the VIP seats, the man in purple robes had a sudden thought and sighed inwardly.

Most of the elders around him were at the tenth level of cultivation, so they would naturally give Xiang Qiubai and his core disciples, who were at the peak of the tenth level, some face.

Therefore, after Leng Ning Shuang defeated her opponent with a single sword strike, with plenty of time and without disrupting the schedule, the elders let them run wild!
But there has to be a limit!

To know,
There were many legendary experts present!
If their infighting escalates to the point of angering them, they might be ordered to go and accept punishment after the competition ends!
"Junior sister, how could you make such a promise to him? Although Li Tian is a bit arrogant and domineering, he is still at the late stage of the tenth level of cultivation. How could you possibly defeat him?"

Xiang Qiubai sat down again on the futon, closed his eyes, and used his mind to communicate with the woman in the white dress beside him. He sounded quite annoyed.

Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
