Ling Xiao looked at Tantai Lingzi. He didn’t quite understand why this woman was malicious toward him.
However, since the other party had made threats, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid.
Even if his cultivation base was lower, with his current strength, if she wanted to kill him, then it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.
She was not even a Celestial Realm expert, why being so pretentious?
The qualification competition for the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony was very simple. Draw lots to choose your opponents, the three losses would result in elimination, and the rest would advance until the last forty people remain.
The rules were very simple and clear. You could keep winning, and even if you lose, must not lose three times.
Ling Xiao liked this kind of rule the most, which saved a lot of trouble. After all, it was just a qualifying competition. Making it too complicated was meaningless.
……
Soon, the higher-ups of the Moonlight Sect also arrived in the square.
The entire square of the Inner Court was protected by the formation. After all, the strength of the inner disciples was above the Transcendent Realm, and their destructive power was not low.
Naturally, the formation of the martial platform was even stronger.
As long as the cultivation base had not exceeded Half Celestial Worthy, it was impossible to completely destroy the martial platform.
There were twenty martial platforms in the inner court square, so twenty matches could be started at the same time.
In fact, this couldn’t be considered slow, because in the beginning, there was a high chance that the strength difference between the two martial artists drawn by lottery was quite big, and the battle would be resolved in a moment.
Further down the road, the strength of the disciples would be closer, and the match time would be correspondingly longer.
Ling Xiao thought that it was very unlikely for him to encounter a strong opponent at the beginning. Although it was a lottery, it was easy for the higher-ups to change the matchups.
It was absolutely impossible for these higher-ups to let two strong powerhouses fight in the beginning.
A lot of high-leveled officers had come today. Ling Xiao had seen some of them and hadn’t seen the others. Sect Master Chang Yueying was naturally among them.
But he didn’t see Moon Maiden.
Thinking about it, as the mysterious existence of the Moonlight Sect, Moon Maiden always had to maintain a sense of mystery.
“Supreme Headmaster has come!”
Suddenly, the sky, the earth, and the clouds changed color. Above the inner court square, a gust of wind blew, and between heaven and earth, the fluctuation of spiritual qi also became chaotic.
A white-haired old woman appeared with the support of a girl.
Although she walked slowly and didn’t look imposing, a truly powerful martial artist could feel that she seemed to have integrated with the heaven and earth around her.
Moreover, she had a terrifying cultivation base!
Although it was lower than Moon Maiden, it was stronger than everyone else in the Moonlight Sect.
She should be a Heavenly Realm powerhouse.
“Master!”
Lan Yu’er ran over excitedly upon seeing this old woman.
It turned out that she is Senior Sister Lan’s Master. I never expected her to be the Moonlight Sect’s Supreme Headmaster. She should be the former Sect master.
Ling Xiao thought inwardly.
What made him sigh with feeling was, this Moonlight Sect truly deserved to be the sect created by women. The three most powerful people in the sect were all women——
Moon Maiden, Supreme Headmaster, and Sect master Chang Yueying!
The old woman looked very old, but the strange thing was that there were no wrinkles on her face, moreover, her hand was also very smooth. Only her hair showed her age.
“Welcome, Supreme Headmaster!”
Chang Yueying stood up, and together with other mid-leveled and high-leveled officers, she rushed over and greeted Supreme Headmaster.
“Hehe, no need to be polite, no need to be polite, you all can sit down. I’m just an old woman, and I have already taken the back seat. I came here today just to see the performance of my two disciples.”
Supreme Headmaster’s name was Chang Yueli.
She had just accepted three disciples in her life.
The eldest disciple was Chang Yueying, the current Sect Master.
The youngest disciple was Lan Yu’er, who was regarded as a strong contender to be the next Sect Master.
As for the second disciple, she was called Bai Feifei.
Allegedly, this woman was the adopted daughter of Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
This made Ling Xiao think of a person, the daughter of White Cloud Great master.
White Cloud Great Master had a daughter, but on the day of her birth, his wife was killed and his daughter was taken away.
Now, it was already certain that the one behind this incident was Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
The surname of both White Cloud Great Master and Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was Bai. They belonged to the same clan, and this girl was also surnamed Bai, moreover, she was the adopted daughter of Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy. It was very likely that Ling Xiao’s guess was correct.
On the surface, the cultivation base of Bai Feifei seemed to be just Initial Rank Three Transcendent Realm, but Ling Xiao realized that she should have cultivated a secret martial art that could hide her cultivation base.
Her actual cultivation base had actually reached Half Celestial Realm, which was even higher than Lan Yu’er!
What a terrifying aptitude!
She might be a little older than Lan Yu’er, but she was just about twenty years old. It was honestly too amazing to be able to cultivate to Half Celestial Worthy.
However, thinking about it, it was also normal. With a poor aptitude, how could she become a disciple of the Supreme Headmaster?
Since Bai Feifei had been cultivating directly under Chang Yueli and never participated in the ranking competition of the Inner Court, she wouldn’t be regarded as a true disciple.
Moreover, this time, Chang Yueli didn’t let her participate as a seeded participant because she wanted to let her second disciple, who had lived in the divine palace for a long time, display her strength publicly.
As for the secret purpose, it was unknown.
Naturally, Ling Xiao was too lazy to get to the bottom of it. In any case, he had just promised White Cloud Great Master to find his daughter. Now that Bai Feifei was fine, and she was still alive and doing well, White Cloud Great Mast6er would be very happy.
Leng Hao, who was standing behind Golden Light Celestial Worthy, also turned his gaze toward Bai Feifei, and he looked worried.
In fact, the growth rate of his cultivation base could be regarded as very terrifying. He was definitely a genius among geniuses. His current cultivation base was Initial Rank Four Transcendent Realm. The rumors among the disciples obviously couldn’t be believed.
Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy still didn’t appear, but Meng Yuan, Ming Tian, and Shen Tianlin had all arrived.
These three people stood behind Elder Jin.
Obviously, Elder Jin had completely become their backer now that Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was still in his healing period.
Ming Tian’s cultivation base was even more terrifying than Leng Hao. After all, his original cultivation base was higher than Leng Hao and Ling Xiao.
Now, it seemed that he was already at Initial Rank Five Transcendent Realm. This kind of cultivation speed was very rare.
However, in front of these two so-called geniuses, Ling Xiao just smiled.
Thinking about it, his initial goal was to surpass Ming Tian, and now, his cultivation base had already surpassed Ming Tian’s.
Naturally, for geniuses like Ming Tian and Leng Hao, the cultivation base alone didn’t represent their strength. Perhaps, they could easily defeat an opponent with a realm higher than them.
But even like that, they were still left behind by Ling Xiao.
Now, Ling Xiao’s target had become Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy!
After surpassing Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy’s record, he didn’t believe that the Moonlight Sect wouldn’t treat him like a treasure. At that time, he wouldn’t need to worry about Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy seeking revenge.
“Ling Xiao, can you defeat Ming Tian?”
Dai Yuling asked.
“Ming Tian?”
Ling Xiao didn’t answer, just smiled faintly.
There were too many geniuses. Even if Ming Tian was outstanding, there were Bai Feifei, Lan Yu’er, Ren Xingtian, Yue Ren, Tantai Lingzi, Meng Yuan, who were not inferior to him.
Ming Tian could only be regarded as one of them.
Ling Xiao was almost certain that he could defeat Ming Tian.
