Long Road to Stardom

"I've heard of it, but it's just a place to compete for a ranking. What does it have to do with the future of the sect?" Lin Xing said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Sister Lin Xing, you don't know that Penglai Island opens once every thousand years. The spiritual energy inside is several times richer than that of Zhongzhou, and the resources inside are also countless."

"Every time it is opened, the resources brought out are crucial to the future development of the sect."

"As for competing for the list, it is to enter the ancient ruins on the island of 'Penglai'. It is said that there are countless spiritual treasures and opportunities in the mysterious place."

"Lei Hongyu, do you want to participate in the competition for the list?"

"Of course, I came to Zhongzhou just for this matter."

After hearing this, Lin Xing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "Lei Hongyu, does the disciple Duan Youlin who was ambushed before also want to participate in the competition for the list?"

"That's right." Lei Hongyu said with certainty.

"It seems that the ambush by the Wanjian Sect was premeditated. They wanted to weaken the sect's strength in the competition for the ranking list this time."

"Their ultimate goal is probably to pull down the sect's number one position and take it themselves."

Lin Xing said with some conspiracy theory.

"Sister Lin Xing, you are absolutely right. The sect also thinks the same way."

"Ever since that disciple was ambushed, the sect has told us not to go out easily, especially the disciples who are going to compete for the ranking list."

"Then how did you get ambushed by them?" Lin Xing asked the question in his heart.

"I was just anxious to save my senior brother, but I didn't expect to fall into their trap not long after I left the house."

"This time, the competition for the ranking is crucial. If he doesn't wake up, the sect will suffer huge losses. This is why I want to know the accuracy of the news about the 'True Origin Pill' even though I know there will be an ambush."

Lei Hongyu sighed and said helplessly.

After hearing this, Lin Xing had an idea in his mind, and said to Lei Hongyu beside him, "Lei Hongyu, what are your plans now?"

Lei Hongyu answered without hesitation, "I plan to return to Tianyuan City to join the Third Elder and the others."

"Sister Lin Xing, do you want to come with me?"

Lin Xing was silent for a moment. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Lei Hongyu, I can't go with you. I need to go to Dan City."

"Oh, right. Why didn't I think of that? There are so many alchemists gathered in Dan City recently because of the 'Alchemist Conference'. I'm sure there will be alchemists willing to refine 'True Source Pills' if we show some sincerity. Even if no one buys one, there will always be some."

Lei Hongyu said excitedly when he heard Dancheng.

"Sister Lin Xing, I'll go to Dan City with you first."

Lin Xing smiled and nodded, saying, "Then let's go quickly and get the 'True Source Pill' to treat Senior Brother as soon as possible."

After saying that, the two of them left the "barren rock slope" and headed towards Dancheng.

Just as they were about to leave the range of the ‘barren rock slope’, Lin Xing discovered that there seemed to be traces of a formation not far away and hurriedly shouted, “Lei Hongyu, stop.”

Lin Xing's words made Lei Hongyu stunned, but he still stopped after hearing her words and asked in a voice transmission, "Sister Lin Xing, what's wrong?"

"No time to explain, let's get away from here first."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he came to Lei Hongyu's side and fled in another direction.

"I want to leave, but there's no door!"

"Two elders, why don't you help me capture these two men?"

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Wan Liqun quickly gave orders.

In fact, before he could say anything, the two elders saw Lin Xing and Lei Hongyu discover the formation and turned around to run, so they chased after them and blocked their way.

Lin Xing looked at the two mid-stage Spiritualization cultivators not far away, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Lei Hongyu, how long can you hold out against them?"

"Sister Lin Xing, you underestimate me too much. If they don't have the formation and help from others, I can kill them both here."

"Well, I'll go deal with the other three Nascent Soul cultivators. I'll kill them all before anyone comes to support them."

Lei Hongyu looked over with some worry.

Lin Xing knew his worries and chuckled. "Don't underestimate me, Lei Hongyu."

After saying this, he went to meet the Nascent Soul cultivator who was chasing after him.

Seeing this, Lei Hongyu's hands were instantly filled with lightning and he rushed forward.

The two Divine Transformation cultivators not far away saw this and their faces changed drastically.

How come all his injuries have healed in such a short time?

The reason they dared to intercept him was, of course, because he was seriously injured, but seeing that he looked full of energy, they began to think of retreating.

The power of life and death is in the hands of the young sect leader, so they can neither advance nor retreat.

They could only hold them off, hoping that the young sect leader could capture the female cultivator and use her as a hostage while waiting for the sect's people to come and rescue them.

But their hopes were doomed to fail, as Lin Xing killed one of the monks in one encounter.

"How is this possible?" Wan Liqun exclaimed.

Before he had time to think about it, he saw the female cultivator holding a long sword. Her body moved slightly, turning into a shadow and coming towards him.

He quickly used a defensive magic weapon to block the sudden attack.

With a slight buffer, he quickly stepped back and avoided the next attack from the female cultivator.

At this moment, Wan Liqun had a sword in his hand and released a powerful sword technique.

A sword energy burst out from the sword in his hand and rushed straight towards Lin Xing.

Seeing this, Lin Xing responded quickly. She twisted her body and cleverly avoided the sword attack.

The battle became more and more intense. Lin Xing and Wan Liqun shuttled back and forth in the air. Their figures appeared and disappeared from time to time. The speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up with the pace. Occasionally, there were spell battles.

Lin Xing really didn't expect that this man's swordsmanship was so strong. Except for the sudden attack at the beginning, she didn't gain any advantage at all.

However, she still saw a flaw.

Wan Liqun had never expected that this female cultivator was actually a sword cultivator. Their "Wanjian Sect" was famous for its sword skills, but they didn't gain any advantage in sword skills.

Where on earth did this person come from? Why is there no information about this female cultivator in the intelligence collected by the sect?

"Could this person be a disciple of Xuan Yue Sect?"

Wan Liqun was secretly suspicious, but Lin Xing seized the opportunity when he was dazed. She disappeared instantly and appeared beside Wan Liqun the next moment. The long sword in her hand pierced his heart with a sharp sword energy.

"clang..."

A light shield suddenly appeared above Wan Liqun's body, blocking the attack, and then disappeared in an instant.

Lin Xing was not surprised at all when he saw this.

Wan Liqun knew that it was the amulet given by his father that blocked the attack.

This time, he didn't dare to be distracted. He moved sideways quickly and swung out a sword energy with the long sword in his hand to counterattack. Lin Xing also swung out a sword energy at this time.

The two sword energies collided violently in the air, making a deafening roar.
