The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

"I don't know why, but I always find Yun Fuzhao's art style inexplicably funny."

"I'm curious, how did she manage to create such a large puddle of water? As far as I know, only someone with a water elemental root could do that, right?"

"Isn't Yun Fuzhao a person with five spiritual roots?"

"Hiss, so the Five Elemental Roots also include the Water Elemental Root, right...?"

An eerie silence fell over everyone.

Is this how the Five Elemental Roots are used?

"This is outrageous! Is this really the same five-elemental-root system I know?"

Yu Nian'er couldn't believe it. She continued to let the Azure Phoenix control the little bird, but the result was the same.

On the other hand, with the loss of the Azure Phoenix, Xie Wan's situation has clearly reversed.

Qiu Su was ultimately defeated and knocked off the stage by the fierce sonic waves.

Without its leader, the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts quickly fell into disarray. In addition, the Bloodthirsty Lotus became increasingly excited with each use, as if it had awakened some kind of attribute, and even passing dogs would get slapped.

Seeing that the pool was almost full of birds, Yu Nian'er finally made the Azure Divine Phoenix stop.

Yun Fuzhao didn't want to drag it out any longer, so she directly ordered Jiaoyu to deal with Yu Nian'er. She picked up Wuji and aimed it straight at Yu Nian'er's face.

The latter dodged in a panic. Yu Nian'er was no match for her. In one exchange, the Frost Moon Sword slipped from her hand.

Seeing that Yun Fuzhao's sword was about to pierce her throat, Yu Nian'er turned pale and fell to the ground in fright, unable to dodge for a moment.

Yun Fuzhao really wanted to try and see if she could kill the female lead in the novel, so she didn't linger.

However, just as the longsword was about to strike, an invisible force blocked her attack, and then, a murderous intent shot straight at Yun Fuzhao's heart.

The killing intent was unstoppable, and Yun Fuzhao was shocked, but it was too late to dodge.

Just when she thought she was about to send it, she felt a "crunch" in her chest.

Yun Fuzhao quickly reached for it and found that the bronze mirror Dai Junde had given her was broken.

If it weren't for this treasure, Yun Fuzhao would have truly perished.

She gasped for breath, her heart pounding.

Qu Wangzhi said, "Where did that killing intent come from? It clearly didn't come from the disciples on the stage."

Buma chimed in, "Someone interfered with the competition."

Yu Nian'er quickly stood up, feeling annoyed at her own pathetic performance.

Yun Fuzhao was somewhat surprised to hear Qu Wangzhi's words. She had thought that killing intent was the Heavenly Dao from the novel, but it turned out not to be.

However, that invisible force is mostly the work of Heaven.

Yu Nian'er is, after all, the main character; if she dies, the novel cannot continue.

Chang Shen announced, "Due to external interference, the competition has come to an end. The results show that Xuan Tian Sect and Ling Yue Sect are tied for first place, Wan Shou Valley is second, and Wu Ya Jian Sect is third."

Yun Fuzhao was dissatisfied with the result. "Elder Chang, it's obvious to everyone that our side won. Can you really convince everyone by doing this?"

Chang Shen scoffed, "Such arrogance! You think you can strip Xuantian Sect of its title of number one?"

Qu Wangzhi couldn't possibly stand by and watch his disciple be bullied like this. "Since Elder Chang is so certain, why did you stop the competition?"

“An unknown force appeared in the competition,” Chang Shen argued vehemently. “Under these circumstances, do you still expect us to disregard the safety of our disciples and continue the competition? Elder Qu, Yun Fuzhao’s life was hanging by a thread just now. As her master, do you still care about rankings at a time like this?”

He seemed to be thinking of Yun Fuzhao's best interests.

Yun Fuzhao never expected him to be so shameless.

However, the other sects, especially the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Lingyue Sect, were quite satisfied with the ranking, so they remained silent.

Yun Fuzhao sarcastically remarked, "Is this what you call fairness and justice? No wonder Xuantian Sect is always number one; they all crowned themselves that way."

Chang Shen was embarrassed. "Yun Fuzhao, watch your words!"

Yun Fuzhao ignored him and continued, "If the sect competition can't even achieve the most basic fairness, then what kind of sect competition is it? We might as well call it 'The Competition Between the Number One Sect, Xuantian Sect, and Other Sects'."

One disciple couldn't help but chime in, "The Xuantian Sect's actions are truly absurd. No matter what, the Wuya Sword Sect should at least rank second in this competition."

"I thought the major sects wouldn't do these things, but I was naive."

“My nephew originally wanted to go to the Xuantian Sect, but now that we see it, it’s really unnecessary. If they dare to bend the law for personal gain on the surface, then we can only imagine how harsh the living conditions are for the lower-level disciples inside the sect.”

This is the first time that the Xuantian Sect has suffered a reputation crisis.

Even Bu Ma had reservations about the result.

However, since the sect leader is in seclusion, Chang Shen is acting as the sect leader, and he has the final say on all matters, big and small, within the sect.

As a minor elder specializing in alchemy, he really couldn't make any decisions.

Xie Wan stepped forward and said earnestly, "Elder Chang, please reconsider the result."

A disciple from the Lingyue Sect tugged at her sleeve, "Senior Sister, our sect has never won first place before..."

Xie Wan shook her head, "If this is how first place is obtained, then what's the point of being convincing? If things continue like this, the ranking of sects will be no different from playing house."

"..."

The disciple did not speak again.

Chang Shen didn't expect that Xie Wan was also unhappy.

As the acting sect leader, what would others think of him if the sect's ranking fell during his tenure? They would say that Chang Shen was incompetent and that the Xuantian Sect was declining under his leadership.

He absolutely would not allow this to happen.

So no matter what others said, they still didn't change their minds.

Xie Wan did not represent the sect, and the elders who also participated in the judgment remained silent, clearly accepting the result.

The elders who made the rankings were all from the top five sects in the past. They protected each other, so how could they possibly stand up for the Boundless Sword Sect?

Moreover, they felt that the Wuya Sword Sect was already doing well with this ranking, and people should be content.

Yun Fuzhao finally understood that they had no intention of changing the outcome.

So she simply stopped mentioning it.

He led his disciples off the stage.

The disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect were furious.

Song Ying: "This is infuriating! How can there be such a landlord-like sect leader? So they're the ones who call the shots in this competition?"

"The Xuantian Sect's actions will eventually destroy them."

"If a sect can't even uphold integrity and fairness, will it still have disciples?"

Yun Fuzhao sighed, "There's still a short-term chance."

After all, the Xuantian Sect has a solid foundation.

Qu Wangzhi thought Yun Fuzhao was very frustrated, so he comforted him, "It's okay. Once our sect becomes stronger, they won't dare to bully us so openly."

Furthermore, since our sect made it into the top three this time, we can send an elder to the next sect competition. If Chang Shen tries to do that again then, we can reject his application.”

Yun Fuzhao blinked, thinking it sounded a bit like the veto power from her previous world.

Qi Huai whispered in Yun Fuzhao's ear, "The Xuantian Sect is really annoying. Let us go kill a few people to vent our anger."

Yun Fuzhao thought of Geng Xiu and said, "Okay."

Her broadsword was itching for a fight.
