In front of the audience, the Old Celestial Master sat down with Li Yunqing. Old Lu and Tian Jinzhong had already arrived.
Seeing Li Yunqing behind the Old Celestial Master, they looked a bit puzzled.
"Who is that behind you?" Old Lu asked.
Hearing the question, the Old Celestial Master stepped aside slightly to allow them a better view.
"Let me introduce you. This is the leader of the Yunqing Sect, Li Yunqing."
As the Old Celestial Master introduced her, Li Yunqing greeted Old Lu and Old Tian with a smile.
"Hello."
Old Lu looked at Li Yunqing in surprise after hearing the introduction.
"So you’re the suddenly emerging leader of the Yunqing Sect? You look really young!"
To them, the Yunqing Sect was a powerful organization, and every member was formidable, perhaps even stronger than most. They assumed that their leader must also be extraordinary. Seeing how young Li Yunqing appeared, Old Lu thought she might have used some sort of beauty-enhancing method.
Li Yunqing chuckled lightly.
"Oh, it’s nothing. I just happen to look young."
The Old Celestial Master was also curious about her age.
"Then how old are you, Li Yunqing?"
With a smile, she replied,
"Not yet thirty."
"Hmm?"
The Old Celestial Master, Old Lu, and Old Tian exchanged glances.
"Not yet thirty? With such strength?"
They were certain there was some secret behind it.
However, let the young people handle their own affairs; the elderly should enjoy their twilight years in peace.
Understanding each other's thoughts, the three old men smiled and did not ask further.
"Let's watch the competition; it will begin soon."
"Alright."
The following matches featured opponents that Li Yunqing did not recognize. Although it was a case of inexperienced fighters clashing, martial arts battles still held some entertainment value.
As for Sera and the others, after receiving Li Yunqing's message, they joined him in the audience.
Seeing Sera beside him, Old Celestial Master pondered whether to lean over.
Noticing their arrival, Li Yunqing waved his hand, signaling them to sit next to him.
Soon, Lilu Lu took the stage.
Old Celestial Master glanced at Lilu Lu and turned to Li Yunqing. "Is she from your Yunqing Sect?"
While holding Zhi Ye and watching the match, Li Yunqing smiled at Old Celestial Master's question. "Yes, that's Lilu Lu. She uses the same sword technique as her sister."
"Oh? Then she must be quite powerful."
Old Celestial Master cast a glance at Sera, who was resting her head on Li Yunqing's shoulder. He recalled Sera's Everlasting Core Blade Technique.
Sera spoke up, "Lilu Lu's style is a bit different from mine; I mainly integrate the Shizhi Form with Liu Zhuan, while hers is something else."
"Oh? It seems your techniques have quite a variety?"
Old Celestial Master turned his attention back to Lilu Lu, who was now focused on her three unfamiliar opponents with her hand resting on the hilt of her sword.
"The competition begins!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Lilu Lu drew her sword in an instant.
Water Breathing Water Surface Slash, First Form Horizontal Slash!
A faint, almost imperceptible blue light flashed by.
The three individuals present felt an overwhelming sense of danger, as if death was imminent. They activated every defensive measure they could muster.
Weapons were severed in an instant, and their martial arts techniques were shattered.
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could even see Lilu Lu’s blade, Lilu Lu had already turned and walked toward the exit.
Huh? How did that Yunqing Sect member leave? Was the match over? How could their weapons and techniques have been broken so easily?
With my vision slightly improved, I could only catch a glimpse of the blue light.
The audience watched the three below, still in shock, knowing that something had occurred that they could not perceive.
Old Celestial Master looked on in surprise as Lilu Lu departed. Unlike Sera, who continuously increased her power, was this a single decisive strike?
Old Celestial Master could only discern the moment Lilu Lu swung her blade; he hadn’t seen the blade itself.
Glancing at Chief Judge, who wore a puzzled expression as he surveyed the arena, Old Celestial Master stood up.
Lilu Lu had advanced!
As Old Celestial Master announced loudly, the three individuals below snapped back to reality. They glanced at Lilu Lu’s retreating figure and then at Old Celestial Master.
They exchanged looks filled with fear but said nothing as they made their way out of the arena.
The audience was left in a daze, exchanging confused glances among themselves.
