BXBX NOVEL Chapter 307: 308: Dominating the Leaderboard
The number of onlookers around them was increasing, and among them were numerous patriarchs and seniors from the various Great Sects, all eager to see how this farce would end.
“That Li Xiaobai is too fierce, he directly took the top spot in the competition!”
“Yeah, he has monopolized the three Great Sects’ names, being so high-profile. He simply doesn’t put the Three Sects in his eyes. If he escapes again this time, the Three Sects’ reputation will be utterly lost!”
“The face of the Three Sects’ Sect Masters has already been lost. In my opinion, they won’t hold back this time. Even if Li Xiaobai’s talent is sky-defying, it’s impossible for him to escape.”
“But being able to get this far is already enough to make his name well known across the Immortal Spirit Continent!”
“What a pity…”
The cultivators were chatting excitedly, their emotions reaching a peak. The lines in the sky thoroughly ignited the fire in their hearts.
“Elixir Sect competition, first place: ‘Begging for a Swift Death’ Ye Wushuang, rank eight Elixirs!”
“…second place: ‘Begging for a Swift Death’ Li Xiaobai, rank impossible to estimate!”
“Qi Sect competition, first place: ‘Li Xiaobai is Awesome,’ rank impossible to estimate.”
“Array Formation Sect competition, first place: ‘Li Xiaobai is Truly Awesome,’ passed through ten Formations.”
The name Li Xiaobai almost dominated the screens, and the first place in the Elixir Sect competition, ‘Begging for a Swift Death’ Ye Wushuang, clearly came to support Li Xiaobai, belonging to the same side. This means that this year’s Three Sects competitions’ first places were all swept by people from Li Xiaobai’s side.
Who hasn’t rebelled in their youth, who hasn’t dreamed of contesting the heavens and earth with the boldness to fight without losing against major forces? It is just a pity that most have been overwhelmed by reality after being beaten down by the cultivation world, grinding down many geniuses’ sharp edges.
Now the emergence of Li Xiaobai is like a fuse, reigniting the rebellious spirit within them. Somewhere deep down, they did not wish for Li Xiaobai to be suppressed.
If he could continue on this path, he would inevitably rise forcefully to become one of the strongest existences on the Immortal Spirit Continent!
Inside the trial grounds of the Array Formation Sect, a large group of disciples staggered out. They were the ones who had slipped through the Formations, who for various reasons had not directly faced Li Xiaobai’s Sword Imprisonment, and thus had escaped a calamity.
At this moment, their faces were full of panic, and they tumbled out in complete disarray.
The surrounding big shots shook their heads in disappointment. The performance of these disciples left much to be desired. It seemed that the quality of the cultivators participating in this year’s competition was just mediocre. Faced with a setback, they shied away; how could they compete with the best?
But soon, they were stunned.
Because among these disgraced disciples, they shockingly found their own sect’s disciples. These were the pride of their respective families, the genuine talents of Central Province. How could they be in such a sorry state?
“Huann’er, what happened to you!”
“Who has done this to you?”
“Did anyone see my Yao’er?”
One after another, the prodigies emerged, and the big shots couldn’t sit still any longer. They began to inquire about the situation inside.
“Dead, they’re all dead!”
“It was Li Xiaobai, Li Xiaobai is too terrifying, Sword Imprisonment, that’s the true Demon’s Wicked Sword!”
“Aside from the few of us who were fortunate enough to survive, not a single person remains alive!”
The prodigies’ eyes flickered with terror, as if they were recalling some horrifying scene. Zhen Tiannan caught sight of Zhen Qiankun in the crowd, and his pupils contracted. Extending his hand, he beckoned and asked, “Is what they’ve said really true?”
“It’s all true. Li Xiaobai went on a slaughter inside. All the cultivators in the Formation were wiped out. If it weren’t for the disciple having some previous dealings with him and urgently dissuading him, I’m afraid that the geniuses from several old influential forces would’ve also perished inside,”
Zhen Qiankun said slowly, deliberately raising his voice so the surrounding crowd could hear clearly.
The young man in white had a complex expression. He knew that the other was telling everyone that it was because of him that his own life was saved. He clasped his fists and bowed, “Thanks to the Saint Heir this time, I owe you a debt of gratitude. I’ll certainly repay this kindness with a spring of gratitude one day!”
The other few geniuses who emerged from the seventh Formation also bowed and expressed their thanks to the Array Formation Sect.
Seeing this scene, Zhen Tiannan’s expression softened slightly. His own Saint Heir had performed well, pulling in a lot of favors for the Array Formation Sect. These could all be resources used in the future.
However, the surrounding powerhouses were in an uproar. The number of disciples who came out was very limited, and most of their Sects’ prodigies had not emerged. Didn’t this mean they had all fallen at the hands of Li Xiaobai?
“That damn Li Xiaobai, my son is in danger!”
“Damn it, the young Sect Master of my sect actually died within the Array Formation Sect; you must give us an explanation!”
“Indeed, I don’t care who killed them; it’s your Array Formation Sect’s oversight, and today you must provide an explanation!”
The powerhouses were furious. Those who came here to participate in the competition were all talents, the rising stars within their Sects. Today, they had been wiped out in one fell swoop, an issue that affected the rise and fall of their Sects for decades to come. The problem was serious!
Looking at the several lines of text in the sky, Zhong Daoquan spoke emotionlessly, “What do you two think?”
Zhen Tiannan sneered, “No more holding back. The reputation of the Three Sects has been tarnished today; someone must bleed. No matter who Li Xiaobai is, he must die within the Three Sects today!”
Yan Xiaoqi appeared to be lost in thought, “Li Xiaobai has entered the tenth Formation; this actually saves us a lot of trouble.”
“Does Sect Master Yan mean to use the power of the tenth Formation to suppress Li Xiaobai?”
“Correct, and besides, after such a long time, the altar should have cultivated quite a bit of Holy Water.”
“I agree, it’s indeed a convenient solution, and it can also showcase the foundation of our Three Sects!”
“Good!”
The three Sect Masters discussed briefly and reached a consensus.
“Gentlemen, our top priority is to find the main culprit of this incident. Li Xiaobai must be executed today. We will suppress him forever in the Central Province to give you all a satisfactory answer!”
With that, the three figures flickered and instantly vanished from the spot.
The powerhouses looked at each other and followed suit. They had all initially been just spectators watching the drama unfold, but in a blink of an eye, they became the parties involved. The death of their Sect geniuses angered them as well, wishing they could personally end Li Xiaobai at once.
This was about cutting the roots of their Sects!
There was no way they could let him escape.
In just a moment, over a dozen towering Demonic Divine Spirits rose above Central City, exerting their strength to stabilize the entire city’s void. The formidable power of the Primodial Spirit caused fluctuations that swept across most of Central Province. More than a dozen cultivators of the Tribulation Crossing stage, along with a few from the Mahayana Realm, showed serious intent; even their mere presence could prove lethal.
Not to mention the simultaneous manifestation of the Primodial Spirit Phantoms. The clueless spectators within the city were terrified to the extreme, bracing for what could have been mistaken for the apocalypse.
