"Searching the soul of a junior for no reason, we can imagine that this person has evil intentions." Tianmu Zhenren looked solemn.

"Yes." Fairy Yaoran also echoed. In fact, for this competition between the two sects, the whole sect was much more vigilant than before. But something happened, and the one who got into trouble was the master's last disciple.

I don’t know what that person learned from Su Wan’er’s memory. If it is about the sect’s secrets, I’m afraid the situation is very bad.

"Is the master's disciple safe and sound now?" Tianmu Zhenren thought of the little girl and asked again.

"I'm afraid it's not good..." Fairy Yaoran thought that no one in the sect could match her in terms of repairing the soul. Even the most powerful Master Wanji was the same.

She was not even sure that Su Wan'er would be safe and sound when she woke up, which meant that Su Wan'er's current situation was indeed very urgent.

Tianmu Zhenren looked regretful, "He was a genius with top-grade ice spirit roots. He was already in the late stage of foundation building at a young age. Now it's really... Alas."

He let out a long sigh.

"A genius who grows up is a genius." Although the words are unpleasant to hear, Fairy Yaoran still said so.

The world of cultivation is full of dangers. Over the years, countless people have been killed by monsters, evil spirits, evil cultivators, and independent cultivators. Su Wan'er's misery lies in the fact that her experience happened in a sect, which makes it even more regrettable.

Geniuses are rare, and it is even harder for them to grow.

"Everything was fine originally, but such a big thing happened as soon as the Yinglong Sect arrived. I don't believe it if you say they had no involvement." Tianmu Zhenren narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face did not look good when he thought of the group of people from the Yinglong Sect.

"The head brother said there were no traces of demonic energy at the scene, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Tianmu Zhenren stood up and said, "Okay, I have to go find the head brother, so I won't say more to you. I will remind my disciples to be more careful these days, Yaoran, you should also pay more attention."

"Okay." Fairy Yaoran nodded slightly and walked with him a few steps.

After Tianmu Zhenren left, Fairy Yaoran gently fanned the round fan in her hand.

She whispered to the disciple serving beside her, "Pass the order down, all members of Zhilan Peak should be on alert from today onwards."

"Yes." The disciple bowed with his fists clasped respectfully, his hands moving non-stop. The talismans he drew in the air were transmitted to the voice transmission order of all the disciples of Zhilan Peak.

*

The two competitions were still going on, but because Su Wan'er was injured, she had to withdraw from the competition midway.

Shen Qing's opponent today is Sun Shangwu, an inner sect disciple of Xuantian Sect and a disciple of Tianmu Zhenren.

"I didn't expect that some disciples from the previous session would also participate in this competition." Shen Qing looked at the information displayed on the jade token in his hand and sighed.

The sect competition is held every five years, and all disciples can only participate in it once. Generally speaking, the participants are often only the disciples recruited last time, and there are fewer disciples from previous years.

After all, if it were the previous batch, there would be a five-year difference in training time between the current batch and the previous batch, so such a competition would be unfair.

However, if for some reason you are unable to participate in the competition that year, you can submit an application to participate this year, and the deacons of the Disciple Hall will approve it.

Sun Shangwu is the latter. Tianmu Zhenren did not recruit any students from Shen Qing's class. Sun Shangwu was accepted as a disciple by Tianmu Zhenren ten years ago. For some reason, he missed the competition five years ago, so he only participated this year.

"I don't know how advanced this person is." Shen Qing put away the jade token in her hand. No matter who her opponent is, she will defeat him.

"Are you Shen Qing?" A six-foot-tall young man came towards them. He had a small beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked quite anxious.

Shen Qing was unsure of how old this man was, as he looked both old and young.

"You are?"

The man snorted, "I am Sun Shangwu."

"Oh, is there something wrong?" Shen Qing asked.

Sun Shangwu looked Shen Qing up and down, "I came here to tell you that you'd better give up this competition as soon as possible. The champion will definitely be from Wangxi Peak."

It was confirmed that he was ill. Shen Qing thought calmly, how could this man, who was so much older than her, say such funny things?

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't care, Sun Shangwu took a few steps forward and approached Shen Qing. He looked at Shen Qing with contempt, "With your thin arms and legs, if you really get on the ring, you will only lose miserably."

"I'm helping you—"

"You seem to like worrying about others. No wonder you look old." Shen Qing said with a sigh.

Sun Shangwu's face froze, and he snorted coldly, "You are quite sharp-tongued. I want to see if you can still be so arrogant in the future."

He looked at Shen Qing deeply, then turned and left.

Shen Qing held his forehead in his hand speechlessly. Who on earth is being so arrogant?

"I want to see what he is doing." Shen Qing picked up the jade token, slid her fingers up and down, touched something, and then a light screen appeared in front of her.

The video playing on the screen was the video of Sun Shangwu's last game.

Yes, the jade cards issued in the sect competition not only have the function of receiving information, but also can be used to watch the opponent's previous game videos, providing more possibilities for preparation.

This is also a form of learning. In the last sect competition, Yue Jingming's competition video had been sold to almost everyone.

The video began to play, and Shen Qing clearly saw that as soon as the game started, Sun Shangwu scattered something, and then a white gas rose from the entire ring.

The two people on the ring were covered in fog and nothing could be seen clearly. Not long after, someone was kicked out of the ring.

The mist cleared, revealing Sun Shangwu. He had won.

Shen Qing frowned. Sun Shangwu released the "fog" during the competition to confuse his opponent, or he didn't want the photo stone to record his methods.

Maybe this person does have some ability.

After putting away the jade token, Shen Qing randomly found an arena to watch other people compete.

"Brother Sun, that person is really ungrateful. You went there in person to persuade her to surrender, but she actually dared to mock you." The little follower following behind Sun Shangwu said in a servile manner.

Sun Shangwu said impatiently, "What does it have to do with you? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"I'm sorry, brother. I spoke too much."

Sun Shangwu sat in a chair nonchalantly, "She dares to reject me now, it's nothing more than thinking that she will win because of her higher cultivation, but reality will teach her a hard lesson."

"Brother is right. Brother is very capable. It will be a piece of cake for him to win this competition."

Sun Shangwu was very comfortable with the flattery, "You are good, I will take you out next time."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Sun Shangwu half closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

The little follower was very alert and fanned him so that he could rest better.

The competition time has come. Shen Qing stood on the stage, looking at the empty opposite side, and fell into deep thought.

The referee sounded the gong and drum, "Is Sun Shangwu here? If he doesn't show up after ten breaths, he will be considered to have forfeited!"

"Ten, nine, ... one!"

Drums are beating.

"Sun Shangwu abdicates, Xuantian Sect's Shen Qing wins!"
