The female cultivator with the birthmark on her face was definitely the ugly girl Xu Chunniang.
Zhang Donglai's breathing suddenly quickened. She was actually still alive!
Twelve years ago, when Xu Chunniang left the sect, he asked Song Quan to take action, intending to kill this ugly girl silently outside the sect.
Later, Song Quan never came back. He didn't know what happened in the middle and could only pray secretly that Song Quan had dealt with Xu Chunniang before anything happened.
Unexpectedly, this ugly girl is not only still alive, but her cultivation has also improved a lot, reaching the ninth level of Qi training.
He even participated in the outer sect competition, winning all the way and becoming a well-known "dark horse".
Zhang Donglai had an uncertain expression. If he had not been tricked five or six years ago and lost his position as the manager of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he would have probably discovered that this ugly girl had returned to the sect alive.
I really don’t know what she encountered in the mortal world that her cultivation level improved so much.
If he had known this would be the case, why would he have made those arrangements
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Well, let's see how strong she is.
Xu Chunniang didn't know that she had already gained some fame among the outer disciples, and she had never known that Zhang Donglai was mingling among these disciples.
After entering, she lined up to get a new number plate.
She glanced at the jade token in her hand, which had the words "One Hundred and Ninety-Five" written on it, meaning that she was the ninety-fifth contestant in Arena No. 1.
Then her opponent should be "196".
Unfortunately, Xu Chunniang's number was the last one in line, so she had to wait for a long time before it was her turn to go on stage to compete.
She shook her head, pinned the jade token on her chest, found a place to sit down at the back, and closed her eyes to rest.
Fights were taking place on four stages simultaneously, and each stage was surrounded by disciples watching the fights.
Compared to the battles in the qualifiers, the battles between the strong ones are obviously more exciting.
For a moment, all kinds of spiritual weapons, formations, talismans, and spells were flying all over the arena, creating a spectacular scene.
Every participant wanted to become a qualifier and go further in the competition, so naturally they held back and used their strongest fighting power.
Lan Wei walked onto the stage, and was greeted by cheers that grew louder and louder.
Her opponent was a middle-aged male cultivator who was slightly famous. When the male cultivator saw that Lan Wei had become his opponent, his face turned slightly pale and he complained in his heart.
Although he was confident that he had some strength, he could never surpass Senior Sister Lan Wei.
It seems that this competition is almost over.
Although the middle-aged male cultivator did not hold much hope for the outcome of this battle, he was unwilling to admit defeat directly. He bowed to Lan Wei and said, "Please give me some advice, Senior Sister Lan."
Lan Wei returned the greeting, "Please give me your guidance."
With the order from the Foundation Building Uncle, the battle between the two officially began.
The middle-aged male cultivator took a deep breath, took the initiative to attack, and drove the flying sword towards Lan Wei.
Facing the fierce attack of the flying sword, Lan Wei remained calm. She controlled a white silk gauze and went towards the flying sword as if she was strolling in the garden.
The seemingly soft white silk actually made a "clang clang" sound of metal collision as soon as it touched the flying sword.
The middle-aged male cultivator felt that his flying sword was stuck in a quagmire and could not move. He tried hard to control the flying sword, wanting to cut the white silk, but not only did it fail, he ended up sweating profusely from exhaustion.
After trying in vain, he gritted his teeth, abandoned his flying sword, and used his best grappling technique to move towards Lan Wei.
Lan Wei's mind moved slightly, and the white silk wrapped around the flying sword came flying over as fast as the fingers of her arm, and fiercely wrapped around the grappling hand, smashing it to pieces on the spot.
Seeing that his proud grappling skills could not last more than one move in front of Senior Sister Lan, the middle-aged male cultivator finally understood how huge the gap was between him and Lan Wei, who were both at the ninth level of Qi training.
He smiled bitterly and clasped his fists, "I give up."
Lan Wei looked confident and calm, and was not surprised by this result.
She waved her sleeves, and the white silk fluttered in the wind. A flying sword fell out of it and was then put away.
"Lan Wei wins this battle."
Following the announcement of the Foundation Establishment Master, the surrounding disciples burst into cheers.
"Senior Sister Lan is really strong. I hope that one day I can be as strong as her."
"I hope that Senior Sister Lan Wei will not forget us junior brothers and sisters when she enters the inner sect in the future."
The discussion did not last long, because a new round of fighting soon began.
The competition lasted for a whole day, and the disciples who were watching the competition did not lose their spirits. Instead, their spirits became even higher after witnessing many sophisticated techniques and magic weapons.
As today's competition was coming to an end, Xu Chunniang finally heard her own name.
"Number 95 Zhao Yuehuan versus Number 95 Xu Chunniang."
Xu Chunniang stood up and walked towards the ring, where her opponent was already waiting.
Zhao Yuehuan felt a little relieved when she saw that her opponent was a female cultivator she didn't recognize.
She smiled and greeted Xu Chunniang, "So my opponent is you. I have heard of your reputation as the dark horse of the Yijiu Arena these past two days. Your water arrow technique is extraordinary."
Xu Chunniang bowed to the female cultivator in response. She had heard of dark horses a few times before, but had never taken them seriously.
Seeing that she could not find out anything, Zhao Yuehuan said no more and took out the formation plate and flag.
Between her and the female cultivator named Xu Chunniang, only one of them will succeed in advancing. No matter how strong this junior sister is, she will try her best.
As the arena barrier was set up, the fight officially began.
Zhao Yuehuan retreated rapidly, constantly throwing down the flags in his hand and setting up the formation on the spot.
After a while, she set up a trap and killing formation where the two were originally.
While activating the formation, Zhao Yuehuan took a deep breath, took out a bow and arrow, pulled the bowstring, and shot an extremely fast arrow into the formation.
When people outside the venue saw this scene, many of them showed regret on their faces.
"Originally, I saw that this Senior Sister Xu was known as a dark horse, and I thought she should be able to enter the top 100. But now it seems that Senior Sister Zhao has set up a trap and killing formation first, and is waiting by her side with the Cloud Piercing Bow. I am afraid that this Senior Sister Xu will lose."
"As a formation practitioner, Senior Sister Zhao has the help of a top-grade killing formation. If Senior Sister Xu doesn't understand the art of formations, I'm afraid this outer sect competition will end here."
Xu Chunniang, who was in the formation, did not hear the discussions around her.
When she found herself trapped in the formation, she did not panic, but relied on her previous memory to find the location of the formation flag.
However, Zhao Yuehuan was not slow in action. After setting up the formation, he activated the formation and changed the positions of all the flags.
Xu Chunniang only had time to destroy three formation flags before the killing formation was activated, and several sword lights shot towards her.
At the same time, a silver arrow came flying with a sound of breaking wind, and its speed was faster than the surrounding sword light.
Xu Chunniang took out the Green Patterned Cauldron and held it in front of her to block the flying arrow. She then activated the Green Patterned Cauldron to absorb all the sword light around her.
After the sword light entered the Green-Patterned Cauldron, it became restless inside, but the Green-Patterned Cauldron was as stable as a mountain, sealing all the sword lights firmly.
