But at this moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded through the air.
“We shouldn’t interfere with the affairs of the young, Sectmaster Lin. Don’t you even realize this?”
Upon these words, the large hand that had reached out abruptly dissipated.
“Long Feihua!”
A female voice angrily yelled out a name.
This name once shook the whole world, and it belonged to one of the three legends standing at the apex of the entire Tempest Ocean Realm.
The Xuanhuo Sect leader, Long Feihua!
But it was already too late. Wen Shengjie had already reached Lu Shanshan, and lunged the spear in his hand towards her. If this attack landed on Lu Shanshan, even if she didn’t die, she would still be seriously injured.
The large spear turned into a flaming phoenix, blasting directly towards Lu Shanshan.
“Stop, don’t hurt my sister!”
Suddenly, a shout came from the sidelines, and then a beam of sword qi pierced the sky, instantly slicing the huge flaming phoenix into pieces.
Immediately after, a figure appeared, moving in a thunderous manner. It smashed the barrier surrounding the ring, and presented itself on the field.
“Who is that? Such speed and power!”
Many saw a young girl, who appeared to be in her teens holding a long sword, with her brows furrowed. She had surprising physical prowess, having smashed and broken into the barrier.
“She called her her sister. Could she be the second true disciple of the Holy Nun Gate as well as Lu Shanshan’s younger sister, Lu Guoguo?”
The crowd finally realized that the person on the field was probably the legendary Lu Guoguo. Many had heard of this beautiful pair of sisters, but the majority of them had never seen them before.
After all, ever since they entered the Holy Nun Gate and found a martial master, both of them had seized the time to focus all their attention on cultivation.
They were as reclusive as their master, and many had only heard about but never seen them.
Rumors had it that a pair of very powerful sisters had appeared in the Holy Nun Gate, and it only had taken them only a few years to establish a reputation for themeselves.
The news that the future sectmaster of the Holy Nun Gate would be selected from one of these two had even been spread multiple times.
Earlier, everyone had witnessed Lu Shanshan’s strength. Although she had been defeated, it did not prevent everyone from acknowledging her potential. Judging from the duration of her cultivation, if she were the same age as Wen Shengjie, she would probably have reached the Consolidation Realm a long time ago.
As soon as the younger sister made her move, it was clear that she was not inferior to her elder sister, and had even surpassed her in strength.
“These sisters alone are already this powerful. According to rumors, they still have an elder brother who is even stronger. I don’t know what kind of people they are, but they already have the ability to kill a cultivator with Three Flower at One’s Prominence more than a year ago. His power is probably comparable to Wen Shengjie’s, and may even be greater!”
They speculated about Lu Xuan’s strength based on the sisters, but there was no way for them to imagine that Lu Xuan’s cultivation level had improved dramatically over the course of the year.
“Hm?”
Above the sky, a powerful figure asked with a questioning tone.
“The other one?”
“Hmph, that’s right. This is my other apprentice, Lu Guoguo. Long Feihua, the only advantage you have over me is that Wen Shengjie has cultivated for a hundred years more than my two apprentices. All this time you’ve wasted. Well, if my two disciples had cultivated for another hundred years, their powers would be more than enough to defeat even you!”
In the void, Lin Ziyi had seen Lu Guoguo’s sudden arrival, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In anger, she cursed at Long Feihua, the leader of Xuanhuo Sect.
Earlier, she had wanted to save her people, but who knew that she would be prevented from doing so by the sectmaster of the Xuanhuo Sect.
She had almost intervened, disregarding her standing. But unexpectedly at the critical moment, Lu Guoguo who was supposed to be taking charge of the Holy Nun Gate, had suddenly appeared on the ring.
Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of this, she glared even more angrily at Long Feihua who was in the distance.
If he hadn’t had a hold over her weakness, she wouldn’t have let Lu Shanshan come up on stage to battle Wen Shengjie.
After all, she understood Wen Shengjie’s strength very well. In fact, she was only a little older than Wen Shengjie, and by a broader definition, she could also be regarded as being in the same generation as him.
Therefore, she was still very clear about Wen Shengjie’s power. Before she had crossed into the Consolidation Realm, Wen Shengjie had been regarded by many as one of her competitors.
However, absolutely no one expected that the threshold of the Consolidation Realm, which had stumped countless people, was so easily crossed by Lin Ziyi.
Since then, there was a drastic change in their reputation.
To have been cunningly trapped by the old fox, Long Feihua, from the very beginning, if it weren’t for her being unable to defeat him, with her temperament, she would have turned against him long ago.
“I’ll let you enjoy yourself for a few more years. When I break through, your good days will come to an end!”
Lin Ziyi thought in her heart.
At this moment, in the arena, after Lu Guoguo had fed her sister Lu Shanshan some healing alkahestry pills, she pointed her sword at Wen Shengjie and said, “Wen Shengjie, I’ve heard about you. With your higher realm you did not fight my sister fairly, and have even resorted to winning through cunning means. Let me take you on instead!”
Wen Shengjie glanced at Lu Guoguo. He knew that he did play some tricks. Although there was nothing wrong with unscrupulous means if it meant a victory, since it was a ring match, he still hoped to win fair and square.
Who knew that Lu Shanshan was so tenacious? His realm was far higher than hers, yet he still couldn’t take her down in an instant, which was why he came up with such a plan.
“I’ll give you time to recover, lest you say that I bullied you!”
Lu Guoguo said magnanimously and then helped her sister aside.
“No need!”
Wen Shengjie launched his attack immediately. A spear blasted out, and before everyone’s eyes, the air behind the spear collapsed and a terrifying sonic boom erupted.
“Again with a sneak attack. Who do you think I am?” Lu Guoguo turned angrily to face the shot.
There was another horrifying explosion, and the battle began once again.
But this time, one of the two parties had changed, and the battle was even more intense.
“This Lu Guoguo is even more powerful than Lu Shanshan. She is already in the realm of Three Flower at One’s Prominence!”
Many people were shocked to find that Lu Guoguo was actually much more powerful than Lu Shanshan.
Lu Shanshan had already condensed two of the Three Flowers, and this kind of cultivation speed was enough to shock the world.
For Lu Guoguo to be at Three Flowers at One’s Prominence, it was almost unthinkable.
Wen Shengjie, who had still had the leisure to hold back when facing Lu Shanshan, was forced to the point where he had to put in all his effort in every attack.
Even so, his every move was still suppressed by Lu Guoguo, something which many could clearly see.
Lu Guoguo’s momentum continued to rise, while Wen Shengjie’s began to decline. Beyond doubt, there was a discrepancy in their powers.
