Chapter 166 A series of ghost chapters
Bai Lan's opponent in the last battle was Qingru from Lingxia Peak. This woman was the direct disciple of Master Zi Ling.
A cultivator with single water spiritual root, he is extremely talented and his Water-Stopping Whip technique is superb and very sharp.
Because the whip was long and flexible, Bai Lan put away the Soul-Breaking Spear when they fought each other before, and instead used magical attacks.
The result of learning all the yellow-level techniques in the Qingyuan Sect's library was that Qingru was simply unable to predict Bai Lan's next move.
Her attack methods are numerous and frequent, and her magic skills are ever-changing, so others cannot understand her combat logic at all.
A duel with a strong opponent is always exhilarating. At this time, Bai Lan couldn't help but think of the six words "pass the level with full health and no injuries".
Thus began a new round of evasive fighting.
So...the last time she fought with Qingru, there was not even a single cut on her body.
This made the girl on the opposite side very angry, and her whip techniques became disorganized in the later stages of the fight.
But this time, Bai Lan started to perform a fight from the moment he came on stage.
She stopped reloading the game and looked like she was seriously injured. She coughed up blood and covered her lips from time to time. She also pretended that her spiritual power was disordered and the power of her magic was greatly reduced, which made the onlookers and Qingru on the opposite side feel confused.
When the battle was nearing its end, Bai Lan seemed to have spent a lot of energy and used all his strength to defeat Qing Ru.
Bai Lan still won this battle, but this one was obviously "more difficult to win."
In order to avoid a misjudgment by the referee later, Bai Lan first used 70% of his strength to knock Qing Ru on the opposite side unconscious.
The next moment, Bai Lan's legs seemed to go weak, as if he could no longer hold on. He then turned sideways, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.
The audience was silent for a moment.
The second place winner of the sect competition fainted, and the leader of the sect competition also fainted one after another.
Nan Xianzhi was startled and quickly flew onto the stage. He stuffed a blood-restoring pill into the two men's arms, one on each side, and took their pulses. Then his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Qing Ru was indeed seriously injured, but Bai Lan...
"Cover me up, tell me I have internal injuries and send me back to the outer peak. I will treat you to a meal later."
She knew he was pretending!
A familiar voice came into his mind. Nan Xianzhi took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
Two Law Enforcement Hall disciples also rushed over after hearing the news and looked at Nan Xianzhi: "How are they doing?"
"Senior Sister Qingru is seriously injured. Please take her back to Lingxia Peak first."
Then Nan Xianzhi looked at Bai Lan, deliberately pausing for a moment before slowly speaking: "She... just has internal injuries that haven't healed yet. She forced herself to finish the competition. I know where she lives, so I'll send her back to recuperate first."
Many Jindan stage elders who were observing this fight remotely with their spiritual sense looked at each other in bewilderment.
Master Ling Xiao pondered for a long time before speaking in confusion: "I recognize this disciple. A month ago, Qing Xuan was furious because her disciple Bai Ling was framed by her, so she injured her. Later, she was locked up in the Cliff of Repentance for a month. Could it be that... the injury has not healed yet?"
Immortal Zi Ling also nodded repeatedly: "This woman does look like she has been seriously injured and has not recovered yet, but her magic skills are ever-changing, and she finally won."
Although the loser was her direct disciple.
"Heh." A sneer came from the hall. Qin Ruge smiled and shook her head: "Qingxuan is at least a leader among the Jindan stage cultivators. Why doesn't he kill those evil cultivators who are hostile to the righteous path? Instead, he attacks the low-level disciples in the sect one after another. It's really..."
"Every time Junior Brother Qingxuan does something out of line, it's all for that disciple named Bai Ling. If Bai Ling was a genius, it would be fine, but now he can't even make it into the top ten in the sect competition. I think he's just like that." Zhenren Changle sneered.
The fainted leader and the second person who was knocked unconscious were rescued by Nan Xianzhi.
The top three in the sect competition had all withdrawn, so the award ceremony had to skip these three people, and the desire of the Jindan elders to accept disciples had to be put on hold for the time being.
——Outer Peak, Bai Lan’s residence.
Nan Xianzhi stared at Bai Lan, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and said faintly: "Stop pretending..."
"......" Bai Lan coughed twice before waking up: "Ah, what's wrong with me?"
"I used to think you were an honest man, but now I realize that you are a good actor." Nan Xianzhi said with a half-smile: "Tell me, what's going on? You could easily win the first place in this competition, but you chose to..."
Before Nan Xianzhi could continue speaking, a wave of spiritual power came from outside the yard, and the restriction set up by Bai Lan outside the house was triggered.
After a spiritual sense check, he found that the people coming were the Jin siblings and Qi Xiaoru.
Nan Xianzhi stopped talking when he saw someone coming, and just looked at Bai Lan silently: "Who are they?"
"A few friends I met by chance during my training."
In addition to the two concubines of Long Aotian, one of Long Aotian’s younger brothers was abducted.
After Bai Lan raised his hand and waved a spiritual energy mark to unlock the restriction outside the courtyard, three people walked in together, all looking worried.
“Fellow Daoist Bai, what are you doing…” Jin Yao took a step forward and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bai Lan had woken up. “I have watched your previous fights carefully from the audience. You have extraordinary skills and ordinary means can’t hurt you at all. Why did the last fight…”
Bai Lan smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "When I exposed Bai Ling before, I was hit by Master Qing Xuan's palm, which damaged my meridians. I was also locked up in the Cliff of Repentance for a long time, and the cold air invaded my lungs... In fact, these days, I was just holding on."
She tried hard to suppress her occupational urge to attack the enemy's vitals, and fought with her fellow disciples using the most moral shooting skills possible.
Jin Yao nervously held Bai Lan's hand, her eyes full of anger towards Master Qing Xuan: "How could I hurt you so badly? Bullying the weak is too much..."
"......After all, he is a Jindan Zhenren, the direct disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, so naturally he doesn't need to care about the feelings of a small person like me. It's a pity that I am alone and have no background. In this huge Qingyuan Sect... How lonely I feel." Bai Lan lowered his head and sighed.
Jin Qianze, who was standing aside, said in a deep voice: "Brother Bai risked his life to save me and my sister twice. My father once said that as long as he is around, the Jin family will treat you like a guest. How can you say that you have no background?"
"As long as he lives" means, conversely, if he dies, this promise will be void.
The head of the Jin family made such a promise because he knew he would not live long.
Bai Lan shook his head and smiled: "After all, this is an internal matter of the sect, how can we implicate the Jin family? Let's just let this matter go."
Nan Xianzhi, who had been watching Bai Lan's performance for a while, gradually turned his expression from astonishment to numbness.
Everything Bai Lan said seemed to be right, but his tone and expression were contrary to the actual facts.
Wasn’t her original purpose to go to the Cliff of Repentance?
Looking at Jin Yao's indignant expression, it was obvious that she believed her lies and was really fooled by her.
