For the people watching the fight below the ring, it was not possible to tell directly that Shen Huaixi and Xing Chou were extraordinary people, especially Xing Chou. If she had not revealed herself, Jiang Yuebai would not have known her identity.
At this moment, Shen Huaixi was also very interested in Xingchou, a strange person living in the upper realm. Especially when he saw Xingchou's current cultivation level, he thought of those strange people in the Earth Spirit Realm who could not even pass the level from foundation building to core formation and had to offer sacrifices of their own clansmen.
So after Shen Huaixi arrived in the upper realm, he had been secretly looking for other extraordinary people.
Xing Chou was the first person he saw.
He wanted to know how Xingchou practiced, how he broke through each major barrier, and how he blended in among normal human cultivators.
But Shen Huaixi couldn't talk about these topics with Xing Chou on the stage.
Xing Chou had no intention of chatting with him. He took half a step forward, dark red demonic energy emanating from his body, and he was faintly turning into a dragon.
Seeing this, Shen Huaixi took a half step back and said loudly, "I can solve your hidden danger!"
Xingchou opened his eyes wide and paused, the dark red demonic energy still surrounding his body, like a dark red dragon.
"What did you say?" Xing Chou finally spoke.
Shen Huaixi's eyes were deep. "You should have already heard about me and know that I am a medical practitioner. If I am not mistaken, you must have forced your baby to form a child, but it was interrupted by external forces, leaving hidden dangers in your body..."
Before Shen Huaixi finished speaking, Xing Chou immediately turned to look at Jiang Yuebai below the ring. She had already begun to doubt the identities of Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi. After all, when they first met at the Kowloon Ruins, the characteristics of their moves were still very obvious.
If Jiang Yuebai was the person she met, then it was normal for Shen Huaixi to know that her formation of the fetus was interrupted by the nine-headed dragon.
Thinking of this, the demonic energy around Xingchou surged, and he roared like a dragon, pressing forward.
Shen Huaixi flicked his sleeves, and his whole body turned into three blood shadows, rushing in three different directions, just avoiding Xing Chou. At the back, the blood shadows merged into one and turned into the appearance of Shen Huaixi again.
"The hidden dangers you encountered when you formed your fetus were merely the cause of the problems in your body. When you later cultivated..."
There was no sound afterwards, so Shen Huaixi switched to voice transmission.
Xie Jingshan in the audience listened anxiously, "What? What are you talking about? What is there that I can't listen to?!"
Other onlookers also craned their necks, interested in the conversation between the two.
After Shen Huaixi finished speaking, Xingchou's whole body shook violently, and even the evil energy around him dissipated.
While Xingchou was in a state of confusion, Shen Huaixi continued, "I know that you, the independent cultivators, can participate in the Qingyun Association through the Independent Cultivator Alliance. If you enter the top 100, you will receive certain rewards, but compared with that little reward and your own safety, which is more important? Being in the limelight and gaining fame may be a good thing for others, but for you..."
"What do you want?" Xing Chou asked.
"Admit defeat. I will help you solve the hidden danger after the Qingyun meeting. You can swear an oath to form a contract!"
Xingchou clenched his fists, his pupils trembling. Every word Shen Huaixi had just said in the voice transmission hit the nail on the head.
She never told anyone, including her father, about the hidden danger in her body.
No one knew that a remnant of the soul of the nine-headed dragon in the Kowloon Ruins had invaded her body, attempting to be reborn through her.
She also had the problem of difficulty in advancing as an extraordinary person. If it weren't for the help of the remnant soul of the nine-headed dragon, she would not have been able to successfully form a fetus, nor would she have been able to cultivate to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul so quickly.
During this period, she had been trying various methods to kill the remaining soul of the nine-headed dragon, but the remaining soul gradually merged with her soul and was difficult to separate. Forcible separation would only cause her soul to fly away.
But if they really merged, Xingchou herself didn't know what she would become.
Later, she met Chu Xin, and with his ice magic, she was able to temporarily freeze the remaining soul of the nine-headed dragon.
He was also invited by Chu Xin to attend the Qingyun Club.
She came here not for the limelight or for the reward, but because she was desperate and wanted to take a chance.
She hoped to stand out at the Qingyun Conference, gain the favor of a powerful cultivator, and then use the powerful man's hand to destroy the remaining soul of the nine-headed dragon.
After all, she was just a helpless independent cultivator who didn't know any powerful cultivators at all and had no chance to come into contact with them normally.
Shen Huaixi didn't say it directly, but Xing Chou could understand the meaning of his words. He could help her remove the residual soul of the nine-headed dragon and help her solve the problem of difficulty in advancing.
Xingchou weighed the pros and cons. Shen Huaixi was right. She couldn't make it into the top three, and the rewards from the Loose Cultivator Alliance were insignificant. For a demon cultivator like her, being in the spotlight would do more harm than good.
To hope that a powerful monk would take a fancy to you is even more unrealistic.
If giving up can get you a chance to solve the hidden danger, it is totally worth it.
"Okay, you swear first!"
Shen Huaixi had expected this, but before taking the oath, he glanced at Jiang Yuebai in the audience and sent a message to Xingchou.
"I hope you will keep your mouth shut about the ruins. If innocent people are implicated, I'm afraid my oath won't be able to restrain me!"
Jiang Yuebai did not tell Shen Huaixi too much detail about the Nine Dragon Ruins, but with Shen Huaixi's brain, he could guess many things just by the keyword "Zhulong".
When Jiang Yuebai was trapped, Lu Nanzhi failed to kill Xingchou and eradicate the problem completely, which left a huge hidden danger.
No matter what is under the Kowloon Ruins, once Xingchou announces it to the world, it will inevitably bring disaster to Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi.
So Shen Huaixi also has to help them eliminate this hidden danger.
In this way, not only can he advance to the top 100 without bloodshed, but he can also defeat Xingchou. After leaving Qingyun Club, he can find a safe place to find out the secrets of the aliens in the upper realm.
In this battle, we kill three birds with one stone!
Xingchou glanced at Jiang Yuebai and nodded in agreement.
Then, the two of them signed a contract and swore an oath by high-fiving.
"I give up!"
Xing Chou raised his hand and admitted defeat. Finally, he looked at Shen Huaixi, jumped off the stage and left.
This scene caused an uproar among the onlookers.
What does it mean to win without bloodshed
That's it!
No one was quite sure what Shen Huaixi had said to Xing Chou, but he was able to make his opponent willingly give up the chance to enter the top 100 with just a few words. This plan was truly admirable!
This shows that the brain is really a good thing!
The battle will become more intense and difficult as time goes on. If you save your energy now, your chances of winning will be greater later.
Many people looked at Shen Huaixi with admiration, but Xie Jingshan felt a little uncomfortable. Relying on their good relationship, he stood in the audience and mocked him mercilessly.
"Shen Huaixi, your evil heart really makes me sick! I summoned so many people to help you, and you just end the battle like this? All my expectations are in vain, in vain!!"
Shen Huaixi laughed at what Xie Jingshan said, and stood on the stage, modest as a jade.
Jiang Yuebai's Crane Feather clone looked at Shen Huaixi, and Jiang Yuebai thanked him silently. From the way he and Xingchou frequently looked at her, one could guess that Shen Huaixi must have silenced Xingchou.
Otherwise, if Xingchou knew about Zhu Jiuyou and told others about it, it would be a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Jiang Yuebai also believed that Shen Huaixi would handle the matter properly in the future, so she didn't need to worry anymore.
"Xie, Senior Brother, is this the battle you mentioned that is guaranteed to be an exciting and eye-catching feast?"
The people around the arena gradually dispersed, and the expectant cultivators from the Zhenwu Immortal Sect asked Xie Jingshan in confusion.
Before coming, Xie Jingshan praised Shen Huaixi to the skies, saying that there would definitely be a fierce battle, and asked them to cheer for Shen Huaixi as much as possible.
And then... that's it
Xie Jingshan felt guilty but refused to admit it. He stiffened his neck and said, "Isn't this exciting? Such a high-level, high-level battle of wits, and you actually think it's not exciting. Your realm is still not enough!"
Xie Jingshan continued to fool people.
"… No more talking, follow me, let's go see Li Shenzhi!"
At that time, after Xingchou got Shen Huaixi's promise, the purpose of this trip was achieved and he no longer had any attachment to Qingyun Club.
Xing Chou immediately went to the ring-shaped mountain range outside Qingyun Realm to find a teleportation array and prepare to leave, but she didn't know that she had been spotted. A black mist followed her like a shadow. Even though the mountains were full of high-level cultivators, no one noticed...
The two updates are finished today!
My family has been hit by a series of misfortunes recently. My grandma hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet, my mom sprained her ankle and broke her bone today due to worrying, and I have to go on a long trip next week for something.
Qidian changed the full attendance rule, and for the sake of livelihood I can't just stop updating, so in the first two weeks of August, I will try my best to ensure that I update twice a day (if I really can't stick to it, I may take one, two or three days off), and all the extra updates will be in the second half of the month, and I will concentrate on updating.
We apologize for any helplessness we may have!
Finally, I will continue to ask for monthly tickets. Every month’s KPI must be completed. The update will be late, but it will not be absent!
