Star Pavilion, Xiao Fan

The representatives of the six winning sects will come to the stage to draw lots for the next round of competition.

Zhang Wudao's voice echoed once again.

Zhou Muxi drew competition arena number three.

The opponent this time is... the Star Palace?

Mo Tianxiao was slightly taken aback. What a coincidence?

Looking at the Star Palace's team, the disguised Xiao Fan was indeed among the participants. Given his strength of having just broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would probably participate in the Primordial Spirit Realm combat power competition, right?

After all, as a Child of Destiny, he should be very confident in his own combat power.

Zhou Muxi glanced at Mo Tianxiao. I have already investigated this guy's identity clearly. He joined the Star Palace over twenty years ago. His talent seems pretty good, and his alchemy skills are also passable.

However, according to my intelligence, this guy seemed to be a disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect previously, but suddenly betrayed the Supreme Dao Sect over fifty years ago to join the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Western Regions. Later, he was wanted by the Great Thunderclap Temple for stealing their Buddha Heart.

I didn't expect him to actually run back to the Middle-earth Divine Continent now and even infiltrate the Star Palace.

Mo Tianxiao's expression was somewhat surprised. Sister Muxi's intelligence is this formidable?

To be so clear even about Xiao Fan's experiences over these years, he wondered if she had suspected his own identity.

It is not difficult for the Blood God Palace to investigate a person's identity.

Zhou Muxi looked at Mo Tianxiao, revealing a playful smile. Unfortunately, I still haven't found out Sister Nan's background.

Mo Tianxiao's cheek twitched, secretly thinking that sure enough, this woman had probably secretly investigated him countless times already.

Sister Muxi must be joking. This junior is merely an itinerant cultivator who has spent years wandering the Hundred Thousand Mountains hunting for treasure. It's normal that you can't find anything.

I hope what Sister Nan says is true.

Zhou Muxi turned her head, no longer staring at Mo Tianxiao with her sharp gaze.

If that guy goes on stage, I will arrange for you to go up. It's best to resolve your own grudges yourself.

For Xiao Fan to cultivate to this level in just a few short decades, he must have quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Coupled with the fact that he managed to escape from the Great Thunderclap Temple, Zhou Muxi naturally wouldn't underestimate him.

Mo Tianxiao chuckled lightly. If I kill him here, can Sister Muxi guarantee I make it out unscathed?

Zhou Muxi's face was calm. As long as you can do it, I can guarantee you won't die.

Just a joke, Sister, don't take it seriously. I only have a small conflict with this Xiao Fan. It's not worth fighting to the death. Teaching him a little lesson is about enough.

Mo Tianxiao waved his hand. How could we righteous cultivators be petty-minded?

The competition between the Haoran Righteousness Sect and the Star Palace officially began. The leaders of both sides cupped their hands in a mutual salute, and then directly started with the combat power competition.

As a sect with a Saint Realm expert overseeing it, the Star Palace's overall strength was naturally incomparable to the previous Flowing Water Sect.

Watching the battles with wins and losses, Zhou Muxi explained, In the last tournament, this Star Palace ranked fourth. I suppose they want to break into the top three this time, but unfortunately, they ran into our Haoran Righteousness Sect.

Which sect was third in the last tournament?

Mo Tianxiao asked curiously.

Zhou Muxi's gaze shifted towards competition arena number two. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Following Zhou Muxi's line of sight, Mo Tianxiao saw the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's team.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's opponent is the Profound Wonder Gate, which ranked fifth last time. I imagine they can securely enter the top three.

So the Supreme Dao Sect's opponent is the sixth place from last time? That really is drawing a good lot.

Mo Tianxiao seriously suspected that the Supreme Dao Sect had opened a backdoor for themselves, specifically picking an easy team.

This is their home ground, who could hold them accountable?

Zhou Muxi's eyes held contempt. Daoist Qingwei ignores worldly affairs, so the Supreme Dao Sect's matters, big and small, are all handled by the Vice Sect Master. And this Zhang Wudao is a notorious hypocrite, acting one way on the surface and another behind people's backs. It truly makes people feel disgusted.

The reputation of the Supreme Dao Sect will probably be ruined by this guy's hands in the future.

Zhou Muxi frowned, seeming to also dislike Zhang Wudao.

Mo Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, a glint flashing in his eyes. Sister Muxi, although I don't know what kind of person this Zhang Wudao is, just from the fact that he crowdfunded the assassination of a junior from the demonic sect in the name of the righteous path, I look down on him.

Oh? You're quite bold. Although Zhang Wudao is a hypocrite, his strength is at the genuine peak of the Saint King Realm. I wonder if he has touched the threshold of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Tch, so what if he's at the peak of the Saint King Realm? So what about a Quasi-Emperor? Does that affect me looking down on him?

Zhou Muxi's gaze carried curiosity as she probed, You seem to have a lot of hostility towards him? Just because of the assassination of the demonic sect junior? Could it be that you are friends with that murdered demonic cultivator?

Sister Muxi, don't try to fish for information from me. Falling in love with someone might take a long time, but hating someone is often a matter of an instant.

After all, some people you just know you hate with a single glance.

Is that so?

Zhou Muxi smiled and didn't speak.

Time ticked by, and soon it was time for the duel between the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators. As Mo Tianxiao expected, the Star Palace didn't send out a cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, but instead sent out Xiao Fan, who had just broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Battles for high-level cultivators were all conducted within the illusionary realm transformed by the Supreme Dao Sect's top-tier Saint Artifact. This way, it wouldn't affect the audience's viewing, nor would it destroy the arena, allowing the contestants to unleash their strength to their hearts' content.

Mo Tianxiao walked into the illusionary realm and looked at Xiao Fan opposite him, his gaze holding profound meaning.

It had been a long time since he had beaten up Xiao Fan; he wondered if his technique had grown rusty.

Fellow Daoist, I wonder why you deceived me back then!

Seeing Mo Tianxiao's figure, Xiao Fan's eyes flickered, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

The moment he thought about being cheated out of a rare artifact and a hundred million spirit stones, he couldn't hold back his fury.

Who are you? Saying such weird things, do we know each other?

Many people outside noticed the figures of Mo Tianxiao and Xiao Fan.

The Haoran Righteousness Sect's strength is ultimately a cut above. I didn't expect the Star Palace to even send out an early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator. Do they not have any peak Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators?

Perhaps they know there is no hope of victory against the Haoran Righteousness Sect, so they simply hid their strength to fight for fourth place.

True, who asked them to have such bad luck to run into the Haoran Righteousness Sect.

Speaking of bad luck, the Mountain Splitting Sect matched up against the Supreme Dao Sect has even worse luck, right?

Zhang Wudao sat on the high platform, constantly paying attention to the situation of the Haoran Righteousness Sect's contestants.

Barring any accidents, the Supreme Dao Sect's opponent this tournament should still be the Haoran Righteousness Sect. By figuring out the situation of the Haoran Righteousness Sect's contestants, he could prescribe the right medicine.

His gaze swept over Mo Tianxiao and Xiao Fan, who were currently battling, and then looked at the Haoran Righteousness Sect's leader, Zhou Muxi.

Qingyu, do you have the confidence to defeat Zhou Muxi?

Beside Zhang Wudao stood a man wearing a loose white Daoist robe. His long black hair fell casually below his shoulders, his face was expressionless, and his eyes carried a hint of laziness.

I'll just do my best. Zhou Muxi is no minor character either; I don't have absolute certainty of winning.

Zhang Wudao looked at Zhang Qingyu's drowsy appearance and frowned slightly. Be serious. Once the Sect Master leaves, you are the one who will take over the Sect Master's position.
