Xu Yi had no idea who Senior Brother Bei was, but from their tone, this must be the most powerful Nascent Soul disciple in the Xuan Qing Sect. She immediately nodded.
"That's right, I'm here to challenge him."
Xu Yi's mind raced. For Senior Brother Bei to be recognized as the number one person in the Xuan Qing Sect, his strength must not be underestimated.
However, she had won a piece of thousand-year inkwood from Lu Zi'ang. This fight, win or lose, would cost her nothing. On the contrary, it would solve some minor troubles, making it very worthwhile.
Below the stage, Long Haotian and the other two exchanged glances.
Chen Tao was full of confusion and muttered in a low voice, "Senior Sister Xu came to challenge Senior Brother Bei, why didn't she tell us? That's too inconsiderate."
Long Haotian and Wang Yi'an both shot him a disdainful look.
Only a fool like Chen Tao would believe Xu Yi's words.
Long Haotian dared to bet that Xu Yi couldn't even say Bei Xinghan's name, yet she came to challenge him?
It was clearly an excuse she made up to deal with the others.
It was just that she was probably going to be disappointed this time.
Bei Xinghan was devoted to the sword and never paid attention to sect affairs. Her attempt to use Bei Xinghan's name to fend off the senior brothers would not work.
As expected, someone below the stage immediately began to explain for Xu Yi.
"Senior Brother Bei rarely spars with others; even we rarely see him."
"Senior Sister Xu, why don't you defeat us first, and then Senior Brother Bei will surely appear."
"Yes, Senior Sister Xu, if you defeat us, Senior Brother Bei will naturally show up."
"..."
"Ah?" Xu Yi touched her forehead, cursing herself for being careless.
She should have asked Long Haotian and the other two beforehand.
Now she was really in a difficult position.
Did she really have to fight all these people?
Xu Yi immediately rejected the idea, feeling a sense of bullying the younger generation.
What should she do?
"I accept your challenge!"
A voice as cold and sharp as a blade suddenly rang out. Xu Yi felt a sting in her eardrums. She focused her gaze and saw an exceptionally handsome man slowly walking towards her.
"It's Senior Brother Bei!"
"Senior Brother Bei is here!"
The disciples of Xuan Qing Sect all made way, clearing a unimpeded path for him. Even the Nascent Soul disciples who had been actively trying to spar with Xu Yi showed reverence.
Bei Xinghan, the first disciple under the Xuan Qing Sect Master, was undeniably the number one among the Xuan Qing Sect disciples!
Even before she was close to him, Xu Yi could feel the biting coldness emanating from him.
Her expression gradually became solemn, and her admonition ruler appeared in her hand without her summoning it.
Although Bei Xinghan only had late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, the feeling he gave Xu Yi was no weaker than that of the Soul Transformation elder.
As one of the five major sects, Xuan Qing Sect harbored hidden talents. The arrogance she had felt earlier was shattered by Bei Xinghan.
To be able to spar with someone like him, she would have no regrets in this life!
Xu Yi's eyes shone remarkably, the lazy demeanor she had moments ago completely vanished, and a fiery aura erupted.
"So what she said earlier was true. She didn't use her full strength against me." Lu Zi'ang looked at Xu Yi, who seemed like a completely different person, and clenched his fists in embarrassment.
Xu Yi's change not only surprised Lu Zi'ang but also made Long Haotian and the other two, who were very familiar with her, widen their eyes slightly.
They had never seen Xu Yi like this before.
They couldn't help but look back at Bei Xinghan, a sense of inevitability rising in their hearts.
No matter who it was facing Bei Xinghan, it would be strange if they didn't react like this.
Even Long Haotian, who had always had some reservations about Bei Xinghan, had to admit that Bei Xinghan was a cultivation monster.
Bei Xinghan was a legendary figure in the Xuan Qing Sect. As long as he was at a certain cultivation level, he was an invincible existence among disciples of the same level.
In the beginning, some people didn't believe in evil and challenged Bei Xinghan, but without exception, they all lost to his Frost Sword. No one could last more than five moves against him.
Later, Bei Xinghan almost became an existence that could not be mentioned in the Xuan Qing Sect, and even they found it difficult to see him.
They were all extremely surprised that Xu Yi could make Bei Xinghan show himself this time.
At the summit.
Elder Bai watched Bei Xinghan's back and sighed, "Bei Xinghan's sword intent seems to have strengthened again."
True Master Qing Lian nodded slightly, with a hint of pride.
As Bei Xinghan's master, he naturally understood his cultivation better.
Bei Xinghan's ability to reach this point was not only due to his astonishing talent but also his perseverance and hard work.
"However, being too rigid can lead to breaking."
Elder Bai sighed again, not at all worried about offending the Sect Master.
The pride on True Master Qing Lian's face immediately faded. Elder Bai's words were precisely his concern.
Bei Xinghan's personality was too stubborn, which made him improve rapidly and easily go to extremes.
He had also tried various methods to change Bei Xinghan's temperament, but all had failed.
Bei Xinghan had sealed himself off, and no one could shake his beliefs.
"Sect Master, who do you think will win this battle?" Elder Bai suddenly asked.
True Master Qing Lian came back to his senses, snorted, and his tone carried a hint of sarcasm, "You think Xu Yi can win?"
Xu Yi was good, but compared to Bei Xinghan, she was far from it.
The reason he had Bei Xinghan come forward to accept Xu Yi's challenge was to see if Xu Yi could reveal her true self under immense pressure.
As for the possibility of Xu Yi defeating Bei Xinghan, it was almost negligible in his eyes.
"Oh, I think Xu Yi has a good chance of winning." Elder Bai's white beard trembled slightly as he suddenly proposed, "Why don't we make a bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"I'll bet my bottle of Level 8 Muscle Regeneration Powder against yours."
True Master Qing Lian glanced at Elder Bai in surprise, then nodded, "Alright, then I'll bet the King of Medicine Pestle you've been longing for."
As soon as the words fell, two faint golden lights entered their bodies.
High-level cultivators' words were law.
Even a casually made bet would establish a heavenly contract.
"Hehe." Elder Bai's white whiskers curled up higher on both sides, "Then I'll thank the Sect Master in advance."
True Master Qing Lian shook his head slightly, certain that Elder Bai would lose.
Under everyone's gaze, Bei Xinghan stepped onto the arena, looking at Xu Yi with a cold gaze. His expression was like carved stone, unchanging, as if the person standing before him was merely an inanimate object.
A chill ran down Xu Yi's spine. The moment Bei Xinghan stood before her, a strange fluctuation appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, in her eyes, the person standing opposite her was not Bei Xinghan, but a sharp, gleaming long sword, exuding a chilling aura that made one's heart pound.
Xu Yi frowned slightly. This Senior Brother Bei gave her a very peculiar feeling, even making her feel subtly uncomfortable.
It seemed she needed to be more careful!
