352 Battle to Be the Champion (2)
Thank you readers!
As soon as Jiang Ming said this, the cultivators around them immediately started gossiping and looked at him in shock.
Liu Xuantong was definitely one of the strongest people here. Even the strongest person in the various grotto-heavens and Blessed Lands would not dare say that he could defeat him. Moreover, Liu Xuantong had a fierce temperament and had killed many people. How could this random cultivator dare provoke him like this?
âHave you seen this person before?â
âIâve never seen him before. Is he some genius from an unknown sect?â
!!
Many cultivators were speculating. However, they could not come to a conclusion.
âYouâre courting death!â Liu Xuantongâs eyes turned cold, and the line on his forehead seemed ready to open at any moment.
A blurry shadow of an old tree quietly appeared in front of Jiang Ming. With a slight shake, the mysterious force that came at him dissipated.
Huai Meiâs figure had appeared beside Zhu Anâan and Jiang Ming at some point in time. There was a locust tree swaying in each of her eyes.
âHuai Mei, how dare you block me? Do you want to die right now?â Liu Xuantong asked coldly.
Huai Meiâs expression was indifferent as she shook her head. Her voice was as light as ever, âLiu Xuantong, you canât hurt this girl. If you accidentally hurt her, Iâm afraid youâll die miserably. Iâm saving your life.â
âWhy would I be afraid of a little girl?â Liu Xuantong sneered.
âReally?â Huai Mei asked with a faint smile. âSheâs our young masterâs treasure. The young master just broke through to the Golden Core Realm not long ago. This girl is extremely important to his next step in breaking through.â
Liu Xuantongâs expression changed slightly, âI see.â
Huai Meiâs eyes flickered. She just stared at him with a smile and did not say anything else.
âAlright, since Huai Mei has come forward, Iâll show the Ghost Spirit Sect some respect today!â Liu Xuantong suddenly changed the topic and did not continue discussing Zhu Anâanâs identity. It seemed that he was extremely afraid of the young master that Huai Mei had mentioned.
He glanced at Jiang Ming one last time. âBrat, Iâm even more convinced now that youâve definitely killed a cultivator of the Divine Eye Sect. Remember me! Iâm Liu Xuantong of the Divine Eye Sect! If youâre arrogant enough, come up on the Saint Cultivation Platform once itâs fully opened. Letâs see how long you can stand against me!â
After saying that, Liu Xuantong left with his followers.
âLiu Xuantongâs core has already formed. The followers around him are all extraordinary geniuses. There are geniuses from all over the Feather Kingdom here, why would Liu Xuantong find fault with this random cultivator? This person doesnât seem to have said anything bad about the Divine Eye Sect.â someone said in a low voice, extremely puzzled by what had just happened.
âHehe, you guys donât know the truth of this, right?â A genius from a cultivation family in the Feather Country lowered his voice and said meaningfully, âThe Divine Eye Sect wants to bet on Liu Xuantong. When the time comes, one person will be able to ascend to the heavens. However, the situation of the grotto-heavens and blessed lands in the Feather Kingdom has already been set. How can they casually start trouble? Over the years, the Divine Eye Sect has been trying to rope in a few grotto-heavens and blessed lands in order to obtain the support of a certain grotto-heaven. Among the three great grotto-heavens of the Feather Kingdom, the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven is the most respected. If they can obtain the support of the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, the path of the Divine Eye Sect to become a blessed land will naturally be much smoother. Someone is recklessly judging the master of the Immortal Feather Grotto-heaven. Liu Xuantong has seized the opportunity. Naturally, he has to show his respect for the Immortal Feather Grotto-heaven.â
A young man listened for a long time and revealed a look of realization. âTo put it bluntly, heâs just a bootlicker!â
There was a burst of low laughter around them, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Before they left, they cast pitying looks at Jiang Ming. Offending such a future powerhouse of the Feather Kingdom was truly courting death.
When most of the cultivators here had dispersed, Huai Mei took a light breath and suppressed the impatience in her heart. She looked at Jiang Ming again. âI donât care if you stir up trouble or court death. However, donât drag Zhu Anâan into this. Otherwise, no one can save you!â
Soon, Huai Mei turned around and left, returning to the Ghost Spirit Sectâs group.
âMister, did I say something wrong and cause you trouble?â Zhu Anâan lowered her head and asked regretfully. âIâve heard of Liu Xuantong. He kills people like flies and has a bad reputation. You must be careful.â
Seeing Zhu Anâanâs eyes turn red, Jiang Ming could not help but laugh. He ruffled her hair and said, âYou didnât say anything wrong. Itâs just that Liu Xuantong is stupid. Donât worry, when I ascend the Saint Cultivation Platform, I will kill Liu Xuantong and take the top spot. Itâs just a small matter!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMister, youâ¦â Zhu Anâan was stunned and looked at Jiang Ming in a daze.
âHaha, is it that easy to impress you?â Jiang Ming smiled.
âIâm just giving you encouragement! I didnât expect you to have such a big head!â
Jiang Ming rolled his eyes. He could not be bothered with this silly little girl.
Yang Changshan stood behind the two of them and watched with a smile. From time to time, he glanced at the Saint Cultivation Platform that was still pouring down the Saint light. A strange look flashed in his eyes. However, no one knew what he was thinking.
Time gradually passed. Jiang Ming did not have any intention of befriending anyone else, nor did he look for Wu Hen. He just stayed in a corner, quietly polishing his cultivation, and refining his spells and sword intent.
Not long after Jiang Ming ascended the peak, there were also streaks of multicolored light flying over. They were all rushing over to this shocking opportunity.
What shocked the cultivators even more was that when the Saint Cultivation Platform was about to open, most of the people who rushed over were young geniuses. Many of them had left a reputation in the world of immortal cultivation and were top existences among their peers.
âIs that Xu Yi from the Green Feather Dao Academy? He was born in the mortal world and had displayed his peerless talent at the Qi Refinement Realm. Although itâs not a grotto-heaven, the Green Feather Cultivation College where heâs from is definitely the most detached faction in the Feather Kingdom.â
âIs that Monk Xiu Ming from the Xuan Kong Temple? Heâs walking the path of body refinement. The seniors who were defeated by him have all successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm. However, heâs still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. I heard that a few years ago, he went to a place where immortal cultivation was cut off to seek a stronger path of body refinement. It seems that he has already made a breakthrough.â
âThereâs also the Chasing Moon Lakeâs genius, Si Yue. Sheâs only sixteen. However, sheâs already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. That sect is ruthless. Every successor that comes out is terrifying.â
âMiss Huai, that person from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain doesnât seem to have come.â Within the Ghost Spirit Sectâs group, a young woman whispered into Huai Meiâs ear.
âHow could he miss such a grand event!â Huai Mei ended her meditation and opened her eyes. She stood up and looked at the group of cultivators in a certain area. Her eyes fell on a certain figure.
âHe has already arrived. However, he has undergone another transformation. Ordinary people are no longer able to recognize him. Itâs suspected that the ruins once belonged to a certain branch of the blessed land of immortal cultivation. This time around, itâs probably one of the biggest dark horses.â
âMiss Huai, youâve obtained the Ghost Locust Treeâs recognition and its mark. You will definitely suppress everyone and become the champion!â the young woman beside her hurriedly said.
âImpossible!â Huai Mei shook her head. There was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.â Even if he is the Holy Son of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, although his potential is extraordinary, he is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and has yet to fully mature. I have the Ghost Locust Treeâs brand on me. Therefore, I am not afraid of him. However, with one person here, the chances of others getting anything at all are probably less than ten percent.â
âWho is it?â The Ghost Spirit Sectâs female disciples were stunned. Who could be more powerful than the Holy Son?
âThat swordsman from the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven.â There was a hint of helplessness in Huai Meiâs voice. âI received news that the inheritance of the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heavenâs origin was obtained by that person!â
âWhat is it? How is that possible?â
