"Luoshui, Tianyu, your master is fighting with the elders of Canglan Sect!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, both of them were shocked.

They did not dare to delay for even a second and rushed towards Linglongtai.

At this moment, Shang Shixu was seen holding the Shixu Sword in his hand, fighting fiercely with the opponent.

"Master, what is going on?" Shang Shi'an hurried over, looked at the scene in front of him, and anxiously asked Elder Wujie who was standing beside him.

Elder Wujie was calm and replied calmly, "Xiao Shixu believes that if Canglan Sect cannot provide conclusive evidence to prove that Luoshui has betrayed their trust, then they might as well use force to solve the problem. If Elder Ning loses, he will have to admit the slanderous words of Canglan Sect against Luoshui."

"What if my sister loses?" Shang Shi'an asked nervously.

Elder Wujie shook his head and said, "She didn't mention this."

"Ah? So, no matter what the outcome of this fight, my sister has the upper hand?" Shang Shi'an said as if he suddenly realized something.

These words were like a revelation to Elder Wujie, who also woke up immediately. He stroked his beard, which was not there, and exclaimed: "Xiao Shixu is really smart!"

"Elder Ning, please begin!" Shang Shixu said.

Ning Yuan: "Wait a minute, this is your Yunqing Sect's territory, who knows if you guys will do something behind the scenes."

"Then what do you want to do?" Shang Shixu asked.

Yuan Yuan: "You and I need to use the heart-searching technique first to make sure there are no external obstacles."

"Row."

Both of them asked themselves questions.

"Can we start now?"

Rather: “Let’s get started.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Shixu thrust his sword towards Ning Yuan.

Shang Shixu's swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword strike was accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, while Elder Ning responded with palm techniques, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder when his palms were waving.

Bolts of lightning struck Shang Shixu one after another. Since the last incident with Xuewei, Shang Shixu had been practicing the Gale Technique diligently and avoided all the lightning.

Ning Yuan saw that the wind and thunder magic was unable to withstand Shang Shixu's fierce attack, so he immediately summoned his sword.

"blast!"

Following Yuan Yuan's light shout, a sword flashing with cold light appeared. As soon as the sword appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by its sharp sword energy, causing everyone to exclaim in amazement.

"Wow, this is a second-grade spiritual weapon. He, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, actually owns a second-grade spiritual weapon!" Elder Yun Mo was so excited that his voice trembled.

Shang Qianyue couldn't help but remind him when he saw this: "Master, shouldn't you focus on the second-grade spiritual weapon? Shouldn't you focus on this fight?"

"Oh, that's right." After Shang Qianyue's reminder, Elder Yun Mo came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.

At this time, Shang Xiuming on the side couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you think my sister can win this competition?"

Elder Yun Mo frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "It's hard to say. If Elder Ning only used the Wind and Thunder Formation, then Xiao Xu's chance of winning might be slightly greater. However, at this time, he actually showed a second-grade spiritual weapon, and the situation suddenly became confusing..."

"Master, do you mean that my sister might lose this competition?" Shang Qianyue became anxious when he heard that. It didn't matter if she lost, but he was worried that Shang Shixu would get hurt.

Elder Yun Mo waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, we will know the result after we continue to watch."

As they were talking, the battle became more intense, with both sides fighting back and forth, and it was evenly matched.

Shang Shixu dodged the attack by moving sideways, then swung his sword fiercely. A sword energy as powerful as a dragon rushed towards Ning Yuan. Ning Yuan raised his Gale Sword and tried to resist, but was still knocked back a few steps.

"What a powerful force!" Ning Yuan was secretly surprised in his heart. He didn't expect Shang Shixu's strength to be so high.

Shang Shixu seized the opportunity and pressed on with his victory, continuously displaying his perfect swordsmanship, leaving Ning Yuan with no power to fight back and forcing him to retreat again and again.

"From the looks of it, the result of this competition is already very clear." Elder Yun Mo, who was watching the competition, whispered to himself.

"What is going on?" someone asked in confusion.

Elder Yun Mo replied, "A second-grade spiritual weapon is indeed powerful, but in the final analysis, the power of a magical weapon still needs to be exerted by the user. Elder Ning's research on the sword is not deep enough, but Xiao Xu is different. Her swordsmanship is completely based on a solid foundation accumulated over time."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the key to victory or defeat does not lie in the magic weapon itself, but in the strength and skills of the user.

At this time, Shang Shixu was in high spirits, waving the sword in his hand like a storm, and each sword contained endless power; while Ning Yuan was exhausted from responding, his steps staggered, and it was obvious that he was defeated.

At this moment, Ning Yuan suddenly bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which sprinkled on the Swift Wind Sword. In an instant, the Swift Wind Sword shone brightly and its power doubled.

"This... blood sacrifice!" Elder Yun Mo's face changed drastically, "He is willing to use this self-mutilation method to increase the power of the spiritual weapon!"

The blood sacrifice method is the secret technique of Canglan Sect. It can temporarily increase the power of spiritual energy, but it also requires half of one's own cultivation to exchange for this power.

Shang Shixu thought to himself, "No way, just to make you admit to slandering Luoshui, you actually used the secret technique? And you're even betting half of your cultivation!"

Faced with such tremendous pressure, Shang Shixu did not dare to slack off. She tried her best to push the Time Sword in her hand, hoping to resist the terrifying might of the Gale Sword. However, the power contained in the Gale Sword was too strong. Although Shang Shixu had tried her best, she still could not stop it from breaking through her defense.

There was a muffled "puff" sound, and Shang Shixu spat out a mouthful of blood. The whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

Ning Yuan was breathing heavily while staring at Shang Shixu, with a look of smugness that was hard to conceal in his eyes.

"I... won..." Ning Yuan's voice had just sounded when his body suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground without any warning.

So that's it! When he was performing the strange and powerful blood sacrifice just now, he over-consumed the spiritual power in his body. At this moment, he was at the end of his rope and his oil lamp was exhausted. Finally, he couldn't hold on and fell unconscious.

"Master! Master!" Lin Luoyu rushed to the stage anxiously and quickly helped Ning Yuan up and leaned him against himself.

Seeing this, Shang Shixu quickly walked over to the two of them and immediately cast a spell to heal Ning Yuan's injuries.

As time passed, Ning Yuan finally woke up slowly, but his eyes were still full of disbelief: "You...you would actually save me?"

"Hmph! I really didn't expect that you would resort to using your Canglan Sect's unique secret technique in order to win this game. Are you crazy? It's just an ordinary competition, is it necessary to risk your life? This palace master hasn't lived enough..." Shang Shixu kept blaming and cursing Ning Yuan like a string of cannonballs.

Shang Shixu was furious at Yuan Yuan's actions! You know, although she hated the people of Canglan Sect, she shouldn't have wasted her Nascent Soul that she had cultivated with so much difficulty! What was even more puzzling was that he actually wasted the spiritual power he had accumulated for half his life in a competition without hesitation. This was simply ridiculous!

Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, stunned by Shang Shixu's rebuke like a barrage of bullets. A teenage girl dared to point at a man in his 60s and curse at him, which was very strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Shixu, come down first." Yun Zhilan touched his forehead and asked Shang Shixu to step down. Shang Shixu was also injured, and it was the sword energy that injured him. His body's self-healing ability could not be activated, and he urgently needed treatment.

Shang Shixu nodded and said, "Yes, Master."

Only after she got off the stage did she feel the shock of the sword energy.

"Master." Lin Luoshui looked at her with tears in her eyes. It was for her that her master duelled with Elder Ning.

Shang Shixu said: "Don't cry, I'm fine."

After that, she turned her head and said, "Elder Ning, don't forget the bet."

Ning Yuan turned pale. He had not expected that Shang Shixu would care so much about the outcome of this competition. He gritted his teeth, stood up with difficulty, and announced to everyone: "I, Canglan Sect, am willing to accept the defeat and from now on, will no longer pursue Luo Shui's responsibility."

Shang Shixu heard this and said, "What do you mean by no longer holding Luoshui responsible? Where does Luoshui take responsibility? I advise you to reorganize your words."

"Elder Ning, you just made a bet with my disciple. The four elders and I heard it clearly. Your beloved disciple was also singing. I hope you won't make things more obvious." Yun Zhilan said.

Ning Yuan heard Yun Zhilan's words and spat out a mouthful of blood in a hurry: "My Canglan Sect slandered Yunqing Sect's disciple Lin Luoshui, and we will make compensation for Lin Luoshui."

"What compensation?" asked Elder Youxue.

Ning Yuan thought about it and realized that he had nothing left, so he could only bear the pain and take out the Gale Sword in his hand: "I am willing to use this Gale Sword to apologize to Miss Lin."

"This Elder Ning is too generous. He actually used a second-grade spiritual weapon as compensation. That is a second-grade spiritual weapon."

Someone whispered.

"Master." Lin Luoshui didn't know what to do for a moment.

Shang Shixu gave her a look.

Lin Luoshui immediately put away the Gale Sword without even looking at Lin Luoyu who was standing next to him.

"Don't worry, Elder Ning. I will definitely refine this Gale Sword and forge a new magical weapon."

Shang Shixu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ning Yuan, with a sly glint in his eyes.

"Elder Ning, let's forget about this matter. However, you, the Canglan Sect, must properly discipline your disciples in the future and stop slandering others at will."

Ning Yuan had a bitter face. He knew he had failed this time. He felt very regretful and had to listen to Lin Luoyu.

"Thank you for your teachings, Lord Shuiyue Palace. I will keep them in mind."

"Fei Luan, take your junior sister back first, and leave this to me!" Yun Zhilan said.

Chen Feiluan: "Yes, Master."

The storm finally calmed down and everyone left. Shang Shixu also returned to the ice room to heal his wounds with the help of Lin Luoshui and Chen Feiluan.

Lin Luoshui held the Gale Sword with mixed feelings. She knew the value of the sword and also understood why her master was so persistent in seeking justice for her.

"Luo Shui, practice well and don't let your master down." Yun Zhilan patted Lin Luo Shui's shoulder earnestly, then turned and left.

Lin Luoshui tightly grasped the Gale Sword in his hand, his eyes firm and full of fighting spirit, and secretly vowed: "I will go all out and practice hard, and one day I will grow into someone like Master!"

On the other side, Shang Shixu had already returned to the ice room.

As soon as she stepped in, she could no longer suppress the surging blood in her body and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Master, what on earth happened to you?" Seeing this, Lin Luoshui hurried forward and asked with concern.

Shang Shixu gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "I'm fine. I just vomited the blood. I'll be fine after practicing Qigong in the ice room for a while. Luoshui, you and Tianyu go back to Shuiyue Palace first."

"Master, I won't leave. I want to stay here to take care of you." Lin Luoshui said crying.

"Master, it's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted justice, you wouldn't be like this! Wuuuu..." Lin Luoshui said with tears streaming down his face.

Chen Feiluan on the side hurriedly comforted him: "Luo Shui, don't blame yourself anymore. You have to know that your master has always been like this. Everything she does is not only to support you, but also to maintain the reputation and dignity of our Yunqing Sect!"

After hearing this, Lin Luoshui felt even sadder, but she still nodded gratefully. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but was hesitant.

Seeing this, Chen Feiluan patted her shoulder and said gently: "Okay, Luo Shui, go back and have a good rest first. Master is here. Don't worry, I will take good care of your master."

Lin Luoshui bit her lip lightly, and after hesitating for a while, she finally nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Master, Master. I will take my leave now."

"Go, Tianyu, and take good care of your junior sister." Shang Shixu replied in a harmonious voice.

Li Tianyu nodded solemnly, supporting Lin Luoshui and turning around slowly, his steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. When the two stepped out of the ice room, Shang Shixu could no longer hold back and spit out another mouthful of blood.

Chen Feiluan looked distressed: "You, you are so seriously injured, but you are still holding on and waiting for your apprentice to leave."

"I just don't want Luo Shui to worry and blame myself. When I was fighting with Elder Ning just now, in order to take that sword, I had to use my internal energy to resist. Although I looked fine on the surface, the spiritual energy in my body had already become a mess. At this moment, I feel like my internal organs are about to shatter..." Shang Shixu said weakly.

Chen Feiluan: "Don't say anything, I will cast a spell to heal you right now."

Shang Shixu nodded, then fainted.

Seeing this, Chen Feiluan quickly used his internal energy to heal Shang Shixu. After a few hours, Shang Shixu finally woke up.

"Where am I..." Shang Shixu asked weakly.

"In my Chenyun Palace, your disciples came to look for you. I asked Hua Ye to say that you were playing chess with me and sent them away." Chen Feiluan replied.

Shang Shixu thought of what happened before and smiled bitterly, "Senior Sister, don't tell Luo Shui about this, lest she worry."

"I understand." Chen Feiluan said.
