Wuliang Immortal Clan

"He...He Wenzhisheng of the He family!"

What a shock, a complete and utter upset! Nobody expected such a huge upset to happen in the very first game.

Neither the independent cultivators watching from the sidelines nor the members of the two families expected He Wenzhi to win.

"We won! We won!"

The He family members, including He Yan's family, were all very excited at this moment, but he remained rational and quickly sent people to carry He Wenzhi down for emergency treatment.

They were surprised and delighted to win so easily this time.

In comparison, the Bai family's situation was much more dire.

"Damn it, how could Fifth Brother be so careless?"

"You can't say that. It's only on the ring. If it were a life-or-death battle, Fifth Brother would definitely win."

After all, Fifth Brother was unharmed, but that kid from the He family was already seriously injured. If the fight continued, Fifth Brother would definitely win.

The Bai family members were full of dissatisfaction during their discussion. Bai Jingxiu listened to his family members' discussion with a frown, and after a long time, he snorted coldly.

"Don't say anything more. The result was unexpected. That kid from the He family was ruthless. He actually seized the initiative and won by knocking someone off the stage."

The He family must have studied the rules extensively. Even if they win the first round, we definitely won't be careless in the next two.

Bai Jingxiu comforted Bai Daoqi, who walked back dejectedly.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

The cultivators who set up the betting pool burst into laughter. Almost everyone had bet on Bai Jiasheng, and they made a fortune.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second round is about to begin, and the two sides will be represented by their respective young clan leaders."

Their strengths are similar, both at the sixth level of Qi Refining. The odds for betting on the He family are 1.5 to 1, and for the Bai family, 1 to 2.

Unlike the first game, many people favored He Qingsheng this time. After all, it took He Qingsheng a long time to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and even with just a little bit of accumulation, he should have accumulated more.

"I'm betting on He Qingsheng!"

"I'm also betting on He Qingsheng."

Hearing the discussion among the surrounding cultivators, He Qingsheng couldn't help but smile.

"Fellow Daoist He, it seems I must congratulate you in advance."

"No, no!"

He Qingsheng let out a long sigh of relief, flipped over and jumped onto the stage, his clean and neat movements drawing cheers from the crowd.

However, the cheers around them immediately fell silent as a pale-faced young man in a blue robe, with a somewhat lewd expression, walked up from the direction of the Bai family.

"Not the young patriarch of the Bai family?"

"Absolutely not, the young patriarch of the Bai family is not that sickly."

"Who is this person?"

The many onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment; they didn't recognize this young man at all.

"What is the Bai family doing? If they lose another match, they won't be able to compete anymore."

"I think it's the opposite. The Bai family must be very confident. The fact that they sent out this unknown cultivator in a situation where they would be doomed if they lost another match means they are confident that they can win this game."

As the discussion unfolded, the referee, who had received the lists of both sides, raised an eyebrow.

"Bai family's Cao Dan versus He family's He Qingsheng."

The moment the name was mentioned, everyone was in an uproar.

"Cao Dan?"

"Are they from the Cao family, a Golden Core cultivator?"

"Not necessarily. The most recent generation name in the Cao family is Lingxu Nanhua Youjushi. Cao Dan has no generation name, which means that this person is very likely not a member of the Golden Core Cao family."

"But do you think that's possible? If he weren't from the Cao family, would the Bai family feel comfortable letting him replace their young clan leader?"

"The Cao family, who are at the Golden Core stage, generally do not interfere in the affairs of Qi Refining families. Besides, the cost would be extremely high."

"Cao Dan, Cao Dan... I remember now, isn't this the guy who angered our clan patriarch and was expelled from the Cao family back then?"

I heard that the Cao family removed his generational name from his name. Even so, this person is still from a Golden Core family, and his strength is much greater than that of a rogue cultivator.

He Qingsheng's expression changed on the stage. He was shocked to see Cao Dan looking so nonchalant. Even though he was very confident, his opponent was from a Golden Core family and his methods were probably beyond his ability to handle.

Meanwhile, a sense of unease flashed through He Yanjia's mind. He had thought that this Golden Core cultivator from the Cao family would be used as a trump card, and that he would at least be in the late stage of Qi Refining. However, the reality was beyond his expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm counting on you for the next match."

At this moment, He Yanjia didn't care about anything else and cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Yuanlang.

"I will do my best."

Bai Jingxiu smiled disdainfully when he saw his actions. Behind him stood a man in a black robe wearing a hood.

"You should just admit defeat!"

Cao Dan yawned and fanned himself somewhat boredly.

"I could smell the fishy smell on you as soon as I arrived. If the Bai family hadn't given me so much, I wouldn't have wanted to fight over a few fish."

Cao Dan's disdainful gaze made He Qingsheng's face darken instantly.

As in the past, when they went to the Cao family to offer birthday greetings, they respectfully presented them with the best spiritual items, and the way the other party looked at them after receiving them.

"You're nothing but a stray dog ​​that was kicked out of the Cao family, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly."

He Qingsheng was furious and wanted to curse, but in the end, what came out was a different sentence—

Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after the match.

He still had some concerns, not for any other reason than that Cao Dan was still surnamed Cao, the Cao of the Golden Core Cao family.

"Then let's get started!"

Cao Dan spoke rudely to the referee beside her. The referee, who had been expressionless, lowered his head slightly before waving his hand.

"start!"

At the command, He Qingsheng made the first move, throwing out several seeds. After landing, countless vines sprouted and pierced through the arena, penetrating deep into the ground.

In just a few breaths, the original arena was covered with large trees, with vines entwined around them.

"The young clan leader's wood-elemental cultivation is quite good."

Xu Yuanlang comforted He Yanjia, saying that compared to ordinary cultivators, He Qingsheng's ability to transform into a living forest was extremely outstanding, and in this way, the arena was like He Qingsheng's private territory.

Whether in attack or defense, it is virtually flawless.

"boom!"

Cao Dan simply looked up at the dense forest around him, and with a disdainful wave of his folding fan, a lifelike firebird suddenly flew out.

With a sudden flap of its enormous wings, countless fireballs slammed into the arena like meteorites.

The entire dense forest burst into flames, and He Qingsheng, who was hiding deep within the forest, gritted his teeth and abruptly retreated from the forest.

A magic sword flew out swiftly from his hand, aiming straight for Cao Dan's chest.

"Useless trash, I spared your life and you don't even know how to be grateful."

Cao Dan threw out a magic weapon shaped like a gold ingot, which smashed He Qingsheng's magic weapon away.

"Pfft!"

He Qingsheng spat out blood. He looked at the rapidly approaching magical weapon, a trace of panic flashing across his face.

"I give up!"
