Loose Cultivator Alliance secured this victory, finally claiming a spot in the top eight. The remaining Xu Feng became the savior of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and Half-Dead Bao looked at Xu Feng returning to the team with delight, finding him pleasing to the eye.
The injured Yue Xiyang unexpectedly arrived at the competition venue. Although still recovering, his injuries no longer hindered his movement. Everyone was captivated by Xu Feng’s display of Fire and Earth, and several who had previously doubted him lowered their heads in shame.
“Yan Daoyou, you really have hidden depths,” Ma Buyi congratulated. “Now the Loose Cultivator Alliance is counting on you to bring us glory.”
“Oh, it’s nothing, just a bit of luck,” Xu Feng chuckled lightly. His ease belied the fact that his luck in this battle was not as good as it seemed; if he hadn’t faced a sword master like Yi Jiuzhou, Xu Feng could have kept his *Cultivation Method under wraps for much longer. Now that it had been exposed early, it inadvertently increased the difficulty of entering the Final Four.
After Xu Feng’s match in the afternoon, there were no more competitions for the Loose Cultivator Alliance. He and the others stayed behind to watch the remaining three matches. Xu Feng aimed to learn more about his opponents, while others also sought to understand more about the participants from various sects; the more they knew, the greater their chances of winning money…
The competition on Platform One had already concluded before Xu Feng. The second seed from Wuhua Island, Chen Ming, easily defeated Jiang Quan from New Moon Sect, advancing to the top eight.
At that moment, two matches were taking place simultaneously: Cai Shujun from New Moon Sect against Fei Chunhua from Guiyi Sect, and Wang Zhenglong from Guo Shan Sword Sect against Qi Renfu from Guiyi Sect.
Aside from a few high-stakes gamblers, everyone else collectively abandoned the match between Wang Zhenglong and Qi Renfu, flocking instead to watch the contest between Cai Shujun and Fei Chunhua. Cultivators are human too; even immortals find it hard to resist beauty.
After Xu Feng, it was time for Cai Shujun. Originally scheduled to use the same Meeting Platform, perhaps due to her appearance, the referee from Wuhua Island temporarily replaced the venue that had been wrecked by Xu Feng, opting for another unused platform.
Not only does Cai Shujun possess unmatched martial prowess within the New Moon Sect, but she is also its most beautiful disciple. From the moment she entered Wuhua Island, she automatically became an object of admiration for male disciples across various sects. Moreover, due to some interactions among sects, her reputation as part of the New Moon Myth had already spread far and wide. Thus, when she appeared, she attracted a large crowd of fans.
At this moment, dressed in white like an immortal, a gentle breeze swept through her snow-white neck, lifting a few strands of her long black hair. Her bright eyes sparkled like pure meteors, and as her gaze swept across the crowd, it seemed to scatter countless flowers.
“Are you ready?” The referee asked the dazed and drooling Fei Chunhua.
Snapping back to reality, Fei Chunhua hurriedly replied, “I apologize! I am ready.” Laughter erupted from the audience, followed by a chorus of jeers.
“What kind of luck does this guy have to get a chance to face off against Cai Daoyou?”
“Who cares about his luck? If he dares to win against Cai Shujun, I’ll risk my life just to take him down.”
“What’s your relationship with her that you’re so impulsive?”
“Huh? What do you mean? Do I have a relationship with her? Uh, well… I’ve kept our relationship low-key; I didn’t want everyone to know…”
A large group began to engage in absurd fantasies, filling the area with men who pretended to be dignified while desperately inhaling the air as if it contained spiritual energy that could rapidly elevate their cultivation level.
"Begin!" the referee shouted, stepping back to the edge of the stage.
Cai Shujun drew her sword, the slender Medium-Grade Spirit Sword gleaming brilliantly, its blade reflecting Cai Shujun's graceful figure. Fei Chunhua tilted his head slightly, wiping the corner of his mouth with his shoulder, and said with difficulty, "Cai Daoyou, please go ahead."
That was quite polite; to ask someone to go first and then to add 'please.'
The referee was not surprised. He was specially assigned by Wuhua Island and had presided over two previous competitions involving Cai Shujun. In both instances, the disciples who had been normal just moments before suddenly experienced rapid heartbeats, a drop in intelligence, and various ailments like meningitis, coronary heart disease, epilepsy, and foot-and-mouth disease as soon as they faced Cai Shujun in competition.
In the main viewing area, Chai Longbo, the leader of Guiyi Sect, looked helplessly at Chu Wushang and said, "Chu Zhangmen, your disciples from Mistaken Sword Hall should wear masks during the competition."
Chu Wushang shrugged innocently and replied, "I had that thought too, but I'm afraid Flower Island Master wouldn't agree." With that, both of them turned to look at Hua Guinian.
Hua Guinian merely smiled without saying a word.
Cai Shujun made her move using the Intent Sword Technique's Fifth Sword "Indifferent to Gain or Loss." Huang Chang had used this very technique to defeat Kong Rinjia.
With the same move "Indifferent to Gain or Loss," she executed a slow thrust; however, Cai Shujun's execution was more fluid and refined. It was evident that she consistently outmatched Huang Chang.
Cai Shujun's slender sword shot out like an invisible force pressing toward her opponent. At the same time that Cai Shujun struck, Fei Chunhua leaped off the stage and shouted, "Ah, so impressive! I didn't expect that I, Fei Chunhua, wouldn't even be able to withstand one of your moves." He emphasized his name loudly as if afraid no one would recognize him.
Bang! Fei Chunhua fell to the ground in surrender.
Cai Shujun won this battle without shedding blood. Chai Longbo shook his head and sighed from the stands. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Fei Chunhua's dramatic performance, it was undeniable that even if Fei Chunhua fought with all his might, he could not surpass Cai Shujun.
"Congratulations," Chai Longbo said to Cao Wushang.
"Thank you. If your disciple hadn't voluntarily withdrawn, my sect might not have been able to win," Cao Wushang offered a way out.
The battle between Wang Zhenglong and Qi Renfu was the most intense. Both were aggressive fighters; sparks flew as they clashed fiercely without holding back. The referee watched anxiously from the side, ready to intervene at the first sign of distress.
The referees were all cultivators at the Golden Core Stage from Wuhua Island; this group alone could sweep through several sects. Wuhua Island had dominated Liuxiang Kingdom for many years and had accumulated enough arrogance to back it up.
Chai Longbo focused intently; Qi Renfu was the last remaining disciple of Guiyi Sect. If he lost again, Guiyi Sect would be eliminated.
The spectators began to disperse, leaving only disciples from both factions cheering on their respective sides and opportunistic gamblers. The two fighters on stage were largely unaffected by the changes in the crowd below.
Half an hour later, a significant change occurred on stage that affected the outcome. Both participants let out a cry of pain as their swords simultaneously pierced each other.
Qi Renfu's sword pierced Wang Zhenglong's thigh, while Wang Zhenglong struck Qi Renfu's left arm. One arm for one leg, and Qi Renfu had the advantage.
"Inflicting ten thousand injuries on the enemy while suffering eight thousand oneself." Although Chai Longbo was dissatisfied, he felt relieved; barring any accidents, Qi Renfu would win this battle.
As expected, Wang Zhenglong, hindered by his injured leg, was unable to move effectively and was knocked off the stage after a flurry of attacks from Qi Renfu.
"Guiyi Sect's Qi Renfu wins."
Thus, the top eight of the Liuxiang Immortal Path Conference were determined: Hua Du, Cai Shujun, Chen Ming, Gao Jingsong, Huang Chang, Yan Da, Jin Dalai, and Qi Renfu.
Among them, the Star River Sword Sect was completely eliminated in the quarterfinals with no representatives advancing. Wuhua Island and New Moon Sect each secured two spots, while the other four sects each had one member in the top eight.
Based on the performance of the top eight, gamblers compiled an initial ranking: Hua Du, Cai Shujun, and Chen Ming occupied the top three positions. Although Xu Feng performed well, he was not favored and ranked sixth.
