Chapter 336: The Popularity of Bai Zhi

Ling Wanqing had not expected that Yue Xin would also come to the Profound Heaven Sect this time.

If Yue Xin were to discover her current situation and predicament, it would certainly be very troublesome.

Fortunately, she was in the pavilion; as long as she did not appear before Yue Xin, there generally wouldn't be a problem, and from this distance, Yue Xin wouldn't be able to spot her.

Ling Wanqing guessed that Yue Xin must have come to see Qi Liang, the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect, about something.

Yue Xin looked down at the upcoming Sect Competition and thought, "Disciples of the Celestial Maiden Sect, you must do your best."

She had come this time to discuss some matters with Qi Liang, and it just so happened she could also watch the Three Sect Competition.

Yue Xin did not know that Ling Wanqing was right there, and that she had even spotted her.

At this moment, Elder Bai of the Celestial Maiden Sect arrived at the competition venue with the Disciples of the Celestial Maiden Sect.

The gazes of the vast majority of people turned toward Elder Bai, their eyes following her as she moved.

Many people were intoxicated by her presence.

"I didn't expect Elder Bai to come here this time. Coming here was definitely the right choice. I originally didn't want to come, but now I feel like I've hit the jackpot, getting to see Elder Bai's appearance."

"Elder Bai is as beautiful as ever; she is truly like a Fairy."

This news spread, and many people began to gather toward the competition; many had never seen Elder Bai before, having only heard of her reputation.

Now that they had the opportunity, they certainly wanted to see her for themselves.

Meanwhile, some Elders from the Profound Heaven Sect began to strike up a conversation with Bai Zhi.

Ling Wanqing saw Su Yu also looking at Bai Zhi; sure enough, Su Yu was just like most people, drawn to beautiful women.

And Su Yu did not hide anything from her.

This was a normal phenomenon; if Su Yu didn't even glance at her, she would find it strange. She was well aware of the attraction Bai Zhi's appearance held for others.

Su Yu still remembered this person; she was the master of that Innate Furnace Body, and he had already met her the first time he went to the Celestial Maiden Sect.

Back then, she had many suitors, and now nothing had changed; her chest was still as flat as ever, yet she was still just as eye-catching.

Ling Wanqing thought that in Su Yu's eyes, she must be a relatively ordinary woman, with an appearance that was not outstanding, just about average.

Ling Wanqing thought of something and said, "I've heard of this Elder Bai too; she is truly beautiful."

Su Yu nodded. "She is certainly beautiful. I suppose there are few who can compare to her."

Su Yu thought that while it was fine for others to say this in front of Bai Zhi, Ling Wanqing, however, should not say such things.

Bai Zhi observed the commotion around her; she was already accustomed to it and did not care about these things.

After Bai Zhi brought everyone to the competition venue, she entered the pavilion.

Only then did many people snap out of it. "What a pity that Elder Bai has entered the pavilion; we can no longer see her face."

"I wonder who will eventually catch Elder Bai's eye; just thinking about it makes one envious."

Bai Zhi's appearance had indeed caused quite a commotion, but the competition proceeded as normal.

The Three Sect Competition began quickly.

Su Yu and Ling Wanqing watched these matches from the pavilion.

The matches were in full swing. Although the battles between the Disciples below could not be considered grand spectacles, most of the people present had gone through the same thing.

Su Yu recalled that he had also participated in these Sect gatherings a few times in the past.

Although his rankings were basically in the middle, there were times when his luck was bad, and he was eliminated in the first round.

Looking down, Ling Wanqing noted that she had never participated in any inter-Sect competitions.

Ling Wanqing watched the two people fighting. "Brother Su, who do you think will win?"

Su Yu watched the evenly matched battle before him.

To be honest, Su Yu didn't dare to be one hundred percent certain. A person's willpower was a very uncertain thing, especially in an evenly matched battle.

Su Yu shook his head. "That's hard to say."

Ling Wanqing thought about it and agreed; in battles where strength was equal, it was basically very hard to be certain.

Sometimes, even the side that appeared weaker might not necessarily lose in the end.

Ling Wanqing watched the matches continuing below, and soon, the competition reached the finals.

The two people who made it to the finals this time were from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Celestial Maiden Sect.

The strength of these two actually did not differ much.

By this moment, there were many more people than before.

Of course, a large part of them had come because of Bai Zhi.

But now, everyone was quite looking forward to seeing who would be the champion of the competition.

Ling Wanqing looked at the people from the Celestial Maiden Sect below. Of course, truthfully, her heart naturally leaned a bit toward the Celestial Maiden Sect.

The final match began, and the battle between the two sides was extremely intense.

Both were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and both sides used an endless stream of Moves.

The result of the match was soon decided as time passed.

The winner this time was the Disciple from the Celestial Maiden Sect; in the final moments, the Celestial Maiden Sect Disciple had the upper hand.

Ling Wanqing watched this scene; she hadn't expected that the Disciples who came this time were indeed very talented and had secured this victory.

In the distance, watching the match, Yue Xin said, "It seems our Celestial Maiden Sect's Disciple is a bit more formidable this time."

Qi Liang smiled. "It is normal to have wins and losses; this facilitates the growth of the Disciples."

Seeing this, Yue Xin said, "The matters have been discussed, and the competition has ended. It is about time for me to return."

Qi Liang nodded. "I am still some distance away from that step. I didn't expect that among the three of us Sect Masters, you would be the fastest. I thought it would be that old guy from the Myriad Swords Sect."

Yue Xin said, "You are likely close as well. I will be leaving first."

With that, Yue Xin vanished from the Profound Heaven Sect.

Qi Liang watched Yue Xin; she had already touched the threshold of breaking through to the Void Refining Realm.

He, on the other hand, had no clue for the moment, having been stuck at this Realm for many years.

Although the status of Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Sect had placed a lot of pressure on him and had, to a certain extent, affected his cultivation speed, the time spent as Sect Master had also caused a huge change in his Heart-Nature.

This improvement in his state of mind would be of great help later on.

Back at the Sect Competition.

After the Disciples of the Celestial Maiden Sect received their rewards, they prepared to leave.

Just at this moment, those people began to focus their attention.

Their gazes turned in unison toward a pavilion.

That's right, it was the pavilion where Bai Zhi was located.

"Look, look! Elder Bai is about to come out. We can finally catch a glimpse of her!"

Everyone seemed to be holding their breath.

Bai Zhi walked out and returned to the Sect's Spirit Boat.

As the Celestial Maiden Sect's Spirit Boat departed from the area, the crowd began to disperse one after another.

"I really saw Elder Bai! Today was truly so lucky."

"I didn't expect Elder Bai would really come here. When I heard the news, I could hardly believe it."
