Xi Muyun was beaten half to death. The next day, a fellow apprentice saw that he had not gone out for a long time and found him lying unconscious on the floor in the room with a sack around his neck.
This matter soon spread throughout the Qingtian Sect.
The sect leader, several elders, and several peak masters all suspected that Xi Muyun was being retaliated against.
But after he woke up, I asked him for a long time, but still couldn't find out whether he had ever offended anyone outside.
After much investigation, no conclusion was found and the matter was left unresolved.
Even Xi Muyun himself didn't know who hit him, only Gu Nanyiyi had a guess.
Although she was very angry with Zhong Li Han, she still resisted the urge to speak out.
Meanwhile, Su Qiao went to Qijian Peak to look after the spiritual fields during the day, boil water for them, weed the fields, and stay for a bite to eat. At night, he returned to Qinglian Peak to practice. His life was quite fulfilling.
As the days passed, the day of the sect competition was getting closer and closer.
Because the venue for this sect competition was chosen to be Qingtian Gate, people from the other six major sects gradually moved into Qingtian Gate.
Qingtian Gate also became unusually lively.
Su Qiao still lived her own life, and occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would secretly listen to gossip.
Of course, three months later, she and Baili Jing became more and more familiar with each other, which made Zhongli Han grit his teeth in anger.
In a fit of rage, he did nothing but grow taller.
In more than three months, he grew from 1.4 meters to 1.75 meters.
It was a full thirty-five centimeters long, just half a head taller than Su Qiao.
Everyone who saw him was like seeing a ghost.
Because in the eyes of others, he is just a ten-year-old child.
It was really scary and stressful to suddenly jump so high.
Whenever someone asked him about it, he would just say, "As your cultivation level increases, it will naturally grow."
Look, even the excuses are so capricious.
More and more people in the sect were paying attention to him, and even several elders were watching him every day.
I watched him like riding a rocket all the way, from the fifth level of Qi Refining, to the tenth level of Qi Refining, then to the foundation building stage, to the middle and late stages of foundation building, all the way to the great perfection.
Just when everyone was wondering whether he could form a pill directly, the competition began.
The sect competition, to put it nicely, is an exchange of ideas, but in reality, none of the seven major sects are willing to give in to the other, so they look for a chance for their disciples to fight each other, to show off the strength of their younger generations so that others will not look down on them, while also dampening the opponent's spirit and testing the other sect's strengths and weaknesses.
The first ones to compete are just some Qi Refining Stage disciples, followed by some inner disciples above the Building Stage, and finally some Golden Core Stage cultivators with more advanced cultivation who will challenge those of equal strength from the other sects.
Su Qiao did not go on the first day.
It's quite boring to watch a group of kids fighting. It's better to take care of your own spiritual field, go to the mountains to hunt, and make a barbecue.
Su Qiao originally wanted to pick some fruits to eat and hunt a few wild animals after sending rain to the spiritual field. However, Baili Jingshen mysteriously took her to a small river in the back mountain of Qingtian Gate.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Su Qiao looked around.
This place is surrounded by mountains and green trees. It is remote and quiet. It looks like a good place to kill someone.
Baili Jing pointed to the clear river and said, "Didn't you say it was boring? There are fish in this river."
"You want me to go fishing?" Su Qiao was speechless.
