Novel Full Chapter 457
Chapter 457: Chapter 90: The Belated Qiu Zhangtian Line Chapter 457: Chapter 90: The Belated Qiu Zhangtian Line The next day, Xu Yinglian defeated Guan Shanyue and advanced to the top five, preparing to contend with Luo Yan for the fourth seat.
She stood in the arena with her arms folded, brimming with confidence, feeling like her condition couldn’t get any better after just having defeated Guan Shanyue.
It wasn’t just Luo Yan from Penglai, even if Senior Brother Qiu took to the field against her, she felt she could put up a good fight!
However, at that moment, only a handful of cultivators were scattered around, making it seem like the arena lacked popularity.
???G?.??
The reason was quite straightforward: During the earlier bout with Guan Shanyue, Junior Sister Xu had unleashed the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, accidentally slicing a few unlucky bystanders once again.
After two consecutive accidents, even though the safety mechanisms of the White Jade Capital Secret Realm ensured no lives were lost, not everyone was a masochist.
Naturally, they wouldn’t be keen on suddenly experiencing near-death, hence many stayed far away or simply chose not to watch Junior Sister Xu’s matches.
To this, Xu Yinglian only had one comment:
Weak!
If you don’t even have the courage to watch, how are you supposed to slay demons and be righteous cultivators?
Xu Yinglian was quite annoyed-of course, not because there were too few people around, but because her senior brother hadn’t come to watch the battle!
Angry!
Even if I hadn’t invited you to watch my match, as my Daoist Companion, shouldn’t you at least have the consciousness to play the role of a husband?

Or do you think your junior sister’s match isn’t worth watching, and it’s better to prepare for the match against whatever his name is from Shushan?
The more Xu Yinglian thought about it, the angrier she got, and a coldness crept onto her face, wishing that Luo Yan from Penglai would show up quickly so she could vent her frustrations on him.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, just when Xu Yinglian was almost too impatient to wait any longer, Shi Liuli finally arrived, late.
“I’m sorry,” she said in a fluster to the Kunlun True Person present, “My junior brother is still injured and can’t make it!”
“What?” Xu Yinglian’s voice dropped in temperature as if by a hundred and eighty degrees.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” asked the Kunlun True Person, chiding her.
“I’m sorry,” Shi Liuli said sheepishly.
She couldn’t very well admit that her junior brother had asked her the night before, but she had overslept that morning.
Faced with such unreliability, the Kunlun True Person had no recourse but to say darkly:
“The great competition of the White Jade Capital is a grand event supported by the Three Pure Orthodox Sect; it’s not to be trifled with!”
After jabbing Shi Liuli with that remark, she then said coldly:
“Xu Yinglian of Kunlun wins, securing the fourth place in this competition, Luo Yan of Penglai the fifth, Guan Shanyue of Shushan the sixth.
The results will stand as testament!”
Having spoken, the Kunlun True Person immediately cast out her Flying Sword, transforming into a streak of light and departing.
There was no chance to watch the Phoenix Immortal’s match, but at least they could rush to see the competition of the Chief Disciple in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
The surrounding cultivators followed suit, each transforming into a streak of light and disappearing.
Watching the audience vanish in an instant, Xu Yinglian was struggling to maintain her composure, her expression uglier by the second.
Seeing this, Shi Liuli didn’t speak.
She didn’t have a good impression of Xu Yinglian in the first place, and now, feeling no desire to engage further, she simply turned and left.
“Is he really still not recovered from his injuries?” Xu Yinglian called after her, voice cold.
Miss Shi stopped in her tracks, silent for a moment, then spoke irritably:
“If he hadn’t conceded, do you think you could have won the fourth place in the competition?”
Xu Yinglian was taken aback!!!
Those words were a ruthless stab at the heart.
After all, everyone knew that eight-tenths of the Phoenix Immortal’s combat strength lay in her exquisitely brilliant Fire System Daoist Magic.
And, with Fire System Daoist Magic naturally suppressed by the Five Elements Divine Light, Xu Yinglian’s strength would have been virtually halved from the start had she faced Luo Yan.
That’s why Shi Liuli said, “If Luo Yan hadn’t conceded,” you, the Phoenix Immortal, wouldn’t have stood a chance at all.
Xu Yinglian wanted to retort, but she didn’t have any evidence.
Furthermore, with Luo Yan nowhere to be found, she couldn’t even issue a challenge, which left her no choice but to forcibly suppress her anger, saying coldly:
“When your junior brother recovers, we can fight again!”
“What’s the point of fighting again?” Shi Liuli sneered, “Even if I win, can I get back the fourth place in the grand competition?”
“If I lose, I will give him the fourth place!” Xu Yinglian said, annoyed.
“You say you’ll give it and just give it?” Shi Liuli also got angry, “Then my junior brother could just verbally offer you the position of the heir to the Heavenly Craft Workshop.
Do you think anyone in Penglai would take you seriously?”
After saying that, the peculiar clever energy of Miss Shi suddenly surged:
Wait, what if this Phoenix Immortal gets so angry that she loses all control and pins me down here to give me a thrashing?
So she snorted coldly, stepped on the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword, and in an instant, turned into sword light and left.
Xu Yinglian still wanted to say something, but Shi Liuli left a harsh word and turned to run, leaving her feeling the frustration of “being unable to win the argument.”
After thinking it over, all she could do was suppress her unvented anger and go watch Senior Brother Qiu Changtian’s competition.
In the Yuqing View residence at Mount Tianmu, Luo Yan had also finished preparing to continue impersonating Qiu Changtian.
“Load the file, Ah Jing,” he said in a deep voice.
[Location one: Kunlun, Golden Ridge.]
[Character identity: Qiu Changtian.]
[Mirror Flower Water Moon Template overlay, in the midst of time-space travel.]
From Mount Tianmu to Kunlun Mountain, the scenery of the south was instantly replaced by the blue sky and snowy ridges.
Xu Yinglian was sitting in front of her cave abode, deftly playing her zither with crisp, melodious notes.
Several immortal cranes stood by, leisurely preening their feathers to the sound of the zither.
After so many years, Qiu Changtian had become very familiar with them.
These large birds usually migrated among the many lakes and streams of the Kunlun Mountain Range, feeding on the fish, insects, and aquatic plants in the shallow waters.
They really shouldn’t have come up the mountain.
But they could not resist the silly girl here feeding them!
Hence, to think these immortal cranes were attracted by the music would be utterly ludicrous.
Without a hint of sound, Qiu Changtian took out some bird food-dry, pressed fish scraps-from his sleeve.
The cranes that were preening immediately dropped Xu Yinglian and came over, circling Qiu Changtian, waiting to be fed.
Xu Yinglian: ………
“Senior brother,” she stopped the strings with her fingertips, sighed and said, “Stop messing around, bring me the flute.”
“Do you have a new piece, junior sister?” Qiu Changtian asked with a gentle smile.
“Indeed.” Xu Yinglian played a section of the score and asked, “What do you think?”
“There are a few parts that could perhaps be changed…”
The two discussed music until late into the night.
The cranes had already left, and they slowly returned inside the cave abode.
“The White Jade Capital grand competition is approaching,” Xu Yinglian sat down on the stone bed and suddenly said, “Senior brother, are you fully confident?”
“One hundred percent would be too presumptuous,” Qiu Changtian said with a smile, “Let’s say 99.9 percent.”
Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment then sighed:
“Are you deliberately trying to provoke me, senior brother?”
“Not at all,” Qiu Changtian said frankly.
“Then it must be true,” Xu Yinglian mused.
Qiu Changtian smiled without saying a word.
I am not just confident about winning first place, I am also confident that you can take the fourth, junior sister.
Do you believe me?
