Chapter 201: The Sword Cultivator Cousin in the Immortal Cultivation Novel (63)
"Is it really going to be like this between you and me?" Ji Xiaowu gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Qinghe in Lin Xi's arms with an unpleasant expression.
"Go now." Luo Qinghe's face was pale, and he seemed unwilling to say more. "I don't want to see you again before the Fairy Sword Conference is over."
"Okay! Very good. In that case, I won't be here to bother our righteous Taoist Luo." Ji Xiaowu laughed in anger, glared at Lin Xi and the other two, then left in a huff.
Watching his figure completely disappear into the sky, Luo Qinghe seemed to lose all her strength in an instant. She closed her eyes and collapsed in Lin Xi's arms, two lines of tears silently flowing down her cheeks.
Lin Xi hurriedly supported the person, with a look of pity on her face, "Senior Sister..."
Luo Qinghe shook her head slowly. After a while, when she opened her eyes again, the last trace of sadness on her face had completely disappeared, replaced by clarity and determination in her eyes. She tried hard to support herself and slowly stood up.
"Xixi, you are right. A man like him is not a good match after all. After today, I will not hesitate anymore."
……
The mountain wind was howling, and with the last gong being struck, the sword cultivation competition in this Fairy Sword Conference was finally declared over.
The head of the Yaoguang Sword Sect, Mo Daoyuan, was wearing a flowing cloak with a red background and gold edges, standing on a high platform. On both sides of him sat the elders of hundreds of immortal sects. In the square below the platform, there were young sword practitioners who were looking forward to it.
Mo Daoyuan had an ordinary appearance, but he had a beautiful flowing beard. Now he was standing on a high platform, looking down at the young sword practitioners with different expressions in the field. He couldn't help but stroke his beautiful beard and reveal a kind smile.
"You young heroes have come all the way to my Yaoguang Sword Sect. After months of hard work, today we finally see the outcome. After much competition, the top fifty of this conference have been announced." Having said this, he paused, and the smile on his face deepened. "I know you must be extremely anxious at this moment, so I will not say much. Next, I will announce the names of the top fifty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that had been noisy just now was shocked and instantly quieted down. They all cast their eager eyes towards the disciple of Yaoguang Sword Sect who was holding the list in his hand and slowly standing on the high platform.
The disciple said nothing more, flipped open the list in his hand and began to read out the names, "First place, Yaoguang Sword Sect, Jinghong Sword, Xu Lingshu."
"The second place goes to He Renzhi, the Sword of Light Sect and the Seven Killing Swords."
"Third place, Lingyun Sword Sect, Breaking Evil Sword, Wei Qingchuan."
……
"Fifth place, Feiye Pavilion, Lingbo Sword, Ji Congyan."
……
"No. 48, Lingyun Sword Sect, Changning Sword, Lin Xi"
Although everyone already knew the top fifty candidates when the competition was over, every time the disciple read out a name, the crowd would still burst into cheers. This continued until half a quarter of an hour later when all the names were read out. Although some were happy and some were sad, the atmosphere in the venue was already very warm and thunderous with applause.
"These fifty young heroes have overcome all difficulties and won the first place in this Fairy Sword Conference. In addition to the prizes listed in the Fairy Sword Post, they will also have the opportunity to enter the Yunsang Secret Realm for training. If you have no objection to this, then this sect will announce this list to the world..."
"Wait a minute!" Just as the disciple finished reading the list and was about to leave, an urgent voice suddenly exploded over the square, suppressing all the discussions on the field.
Everyone in the field looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin male cultivator standing out from the crowd. He was wearing a gorgeous robe with a white base and gold edges, and looked like a disciple of the Yaoguang Sword Sect.
Seeing that the eyes of nearly a thousand people on the field were fixed on him, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he walked slowly to the bottom of the high platform under everyone's gaze, bowed to Mo Daoyuan and the elders of the Hundred Immortal Sects on the platform, and then spoke again: "Disciple has objections to this list."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Mo Daoyuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but his face was particularly calm. He stroked his long beard and said lightly: "I remember that you are Hu Qu's disciple, named Bai Yan. You said you have objections to this list, so tell me."
The disciple was startled, as if he had not expected that the master of a sect who was so busy with affairs of state would remember his name. He could not help but feel a little strange, but now he could only bow again and say, "Master, please allow me to show my talent. Although I have practiced a lot on weekdays, my talent is limited. There are so many heroes in this Immortal Sword Conference, and I have not been able to bring honor to the master. I feel deeply ashamed."
"Well, you are a filial person." Mo Daoyuan praised him lightly and motioned for him to continue.
Bai Yan glanced at Mo Daoyuan's expression and saw that he was normal, so he continued, "Although I am not talented, I know that this Fairy Sword Conference is set up to select talents with noble aspirations to defeat demons and monsters. However, such a fair and upright event has been exploited by those who have ulterior motives. They openly attended the competition to show off their talents, but secretly colluded with the demons and attempted to cause chaos!"
"Although I am dull by nature, I have been taught by the sect since I was young. I know that the demons are cruel and bloodthirsty. We, the sword cultivators, have great righteousness in mind and take it as our responsibility to protect the people. We are irreconcilable with the demons. Therefore, now that we see a traitor sword cultivator infiltrating the immortal sect, we cannot turn a blind eye."
His righteous and heart-wrenching remarks immediately caused an uproar. The demons were cruel and bloodthirsty, doing all kinds of evil. Any cultivator would kill them. Sword cultivators always prided themselves on hating evil and being righteous. Now, when they heard that there were cultivators colluding with demons, they were immediately outraged.
"So what you mean is that the person who colluded with the demons is on this list?" Mo Daoyuan seemed to finally react. He looked at Bai Yan, whose face was flushed with excitement, with a stern face, and there was an unclear look in his eyes.
"That's right." A dark color flashed in Bai Yan's eyes, and he suddenly pointed at several elders of Lingyun Sword Sect who were sitting on the high platform.
"This disciple wants to report Lingyun Sword Sect for colluding with the demon clan and betraying the immortal sect. This crime is unforgivable!"
"what?!"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Whether it was the elders of the hundreds of immortal sects on the stage or the nearly a thousand young disciples on the field, they all cried out in shock and looked at the people from the Lingyun Sword Sect in horror.
"Do you know what crime it is to slander the Immortal Sect and defame others?" Mo Daoyuan's expression finally became completely gloomy, his eyes like lightning, shooting straight at Bai Yan who was swearing solemnly under the high platform.
"You know, disciple. I am willing to swear on my entire cultivation. If I say even a single word of falsehood, I will definitely destroy all my cultivation and my soul will be shattered."
