Chapter 37: Qingxu Sect's Shocking Change

Zhang Tie shuddered, and a feeling of fear instantly filled his body. The figure of the leader of the Yanyue Sect rushed into Zhang Tie's mind like a nightmare.

“I’m not worthy of it…” Just as he was about to say this, Zhang Tie suddenly came to his senses, and then a surge of anger burst out from his chest, “The dignified leader of the Yanyue Sect, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, actually used seductive magic on me!”

"Of course I need to prove whether I am worthy or not, but thank you for the reminder, Sect Master." Zhang Tie bowed and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"That's interesting!" The leader of Yanyue Sect didn't expect that Zhang Tie could break free from her charm in an instant.

Although it was just her casual action, it should be able to be blocked by Zhang Tie's small foundation.

However, this did not change her mind. She just turned to look at Zhang Tie. The meaning revealed in her cold eyes was extremely obvious.

Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, showed a forced smile, and said to Zhang Xiangling, "Xiangling, you should go practice with the sect master first. When you have established your foundation, I will take you to travel around the world, okay?"

“Brother Zhang, you…” Zhang Xiangling was about to say something, but she saw Zhang Tie shook his head, then pursed his lips and said, “Brother Zhang, I’ll wait for you!”

"Let's go!" The leader of Yanyue Sect said to Zhang Xiangling with a chuckle, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of Zhang Tie's cave.

Zhang Tie, who stayed in the cave, looked at the two people going away and laughed at himself, "Master, I am ashamed of you!"

Zhang Tie had already figured out that the leader of the Yanyue Sect might have long been attracted by Zhang Xiangling's natural talent, but due to old man Qiong's status, it was not easy for him to snatch her away directly.

Otherwise, why would the sect leader jump out and snatch Zhang Xiangling away as soon as old man Qiong went into seclusion? "She's still too weak!" Zhang Tie's relaxed mood suddenly disappeared. He touched the small sword in his arms and began to practice cross-leggedly.

On Xianyun Peak, the leader of Yanyue Sect looked at the cowering Zhang Xiangling in front of him, took out a jade slip from his storage bag, handed it to Zhang Xiangling, and then said, "This technique is called Xuanxuanyin Infant Transformation Technique, which is most suitable for your five elements body. After you get started, I can take you to an ancient battlefield to absorb the blood evil energy there."

"Puff," Fairy Huanyin saw that Zhang Xiangling was still trembling and worried, and suddenly chuckled, "You are still an infatuated seed."

"Do you know why I am called Huanyin?" The leader of Yanyue Sect waved her jade hand, and then a light and shadow appeared in front of Zhang Xiangling. In the light and shadow, there was a handsome man who was vaguely similar to Zhang Tie.

"I was once as infatuated with love as you are, and this man was my spiritual partner. What we both loved most was to enjoy music under the moonlight, and this phantom sound came from there."

Fairy Huanyin's eyes showed a trace of reminiscence as she spoke, "But unfortunately, his talent is too poor. Although I have been trying hard to help him practice, he was still stuck before the Dan Formation."

"That Zhang Tie is good, but unfortunately his talent is too poor. He also practiced the magic technique. Although he can make rapid progress in the short term, he will eventually get stuck before the Dan formation stage."

……

one year later.

"The Qingxu Sect was ambushed by the evil sect, and the Nascent Soul ancestor is dead!" Upon hearing the news, Han Li, who had just obtained the Dayan Jue, was also shocked.

For him, forming a pill was an unattainable thing, let alone the Nascent Soul stage.

"But why did you tell me this news?" A year ago, Zhang Tie suddenly began to go into seclusion with his master. Han Li, who had nowhere to go, naturally returned to Huangfeng Valley to continue his cultivation in silence.

This time, he was suddenly summoned by his master Li Huayuan, who told him what sounded like top-secret news. Han Li had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Li Huayuan's words later proved Han Li's guess. They were going to Qingxu Sect to participate in the life and death competition. Most of the disciples from the six sects of Yue Kingdom who were above the foundation building stage and below the core formation stage would go. As one of Li Huayuan's disciples with good strength but average talent, Han Li became the perfect candidate.

Zhang Tie also received a task. "Zhang Tie, three days later, you will be on the Qingxu Sect's life and death arena. You must not disobey." A petite figure stood in front of Zhang Tie's cave and said loudly.

As one of the few dual spiritual roots in the Yanyue Sect, He Linger, as a casual cultivator without any support, went through untold hardships before finally reaching the middle stage of foundation building.

Just when he was about to become an inner sect disciple and obtain a top-grade elixir that could help him advance to the late stage of foundation building, he unexpectedly had it snatched away by a cultivator named Zhang Tie.

However, just a few days ago, he suddenly heard that a huge change had taken place in the Qingxu Sect. The six major sects of Yue State were all busy trying to divide up the resources of the Qingxu Sect, and finally agreed upon a life-and-death arena.

"It looks like this is a life-and-death competition." He Ling'er was secretly happy. After hearing about the quota for Yanyue Sect, He Ling'er took the initiative to accept the task of notifying the selected disciples. She then came to Zhang Tie's door just to take a good look at Zhang Tie's gloomy face after hearing the news.

After a while, He Ling'er saw a tall man slowly walking out of the cave.

Zhang Tie, who had just come out of the cave, was still a little uncomfortable with the sunlight. He raised his hand to block the sunlight in front of him. After a long while, he said, "What a nice weather!"

"I haven't left the cave for a year, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the outside world." Zhang Tie stretched and groaned comfortably.

"Zhang Tie! Can't you hear me?" He Ling'er looked at Zhang Tie in front of her with a livid face. The more she looked, the more she felt that Zhang Tie was so arrogant that he completely ignored her existence.

Seeing that Zhang Tie still had that casual expression, He Ling'er couldn't help herself. She saw her spiritual energy surging all over her body, and there were faint flashes of lightning around her body.

Then she clasped her hands together, and a dangerous aura gradually appeared in the small hammer in her hand.

"Electric hammer?" Zhang Tie finally noticed He Feng in front of him, and asked with a puzzled look, "Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?"

Zhang Tie really didn't hear Ling'er's words. He had been concentrating on cultivation before and didn't care about the things outside the cave at all. Anyway, with the Five Elements Reversal Formation, ordinary people could not pose any threat to him.

Today, I just happened to have a breakthrough in my cultivation, so I came out to relax. I didn't expect to run into He Ling'er shouting here.

"You're going too far!" He Ling'er thought Zhang Tie looked down on him, a disciple who came from a casual cultivator background, and said so on purpose. She could no longer hold back her anger and rushed towards Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie frowned, feeling that something was wrong. He then changed his posture, held down He Ling'er who was about to go berserk, and asked curiously, "Daoyou, what's wrong with you?"

Before He Ling'er could react, Zhang Tie grabbed her and she struggled frantically with all her strength, but it was obviously useless.

He Ling'er was filled with anger and shame at this moment. "Zhang Tie, you are too much of a bully. You took my resources and my quota, and you humiliated me like this. I, He Ling'er, will never forgive you!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Tie loosened his grip. He Ling'er was suddenly freed from her restraints, and the spiritual energy in her body became chaotic. The violent thunder-attributed spiritual power blew the surrounding land into a charred black.

"I will kill him," He Feng hadn't finished his words when he looked up and suddenly saw Zhang Tie suddenly took out a bottle of top-grade elixir, and his offensive immediately stagnated.

He Ling'er licked her lips. Although the sudden stop of the attack caused her considerable harm, she was struggling as she looked at the elixir in Zhang Tie's hand. That was her hope to advance to the late stage of foundation building!

"Don't think you can make me forgive you just by using a mere pill!" After struggling in her heart for a long time, He Ling'er decided to give up the pill to maintain her dignity.

However, Zhang Tie's second bottle of pills immediately shattered her newly hardened heart.

　I'm sorry for working too late today.
