A white-headed magpie stood on Yin Hua Xuan’s shoulder, chirping softly.
Yin Hua Xuan pondered for a moment, then said,
“That Wang Hu indeed practices Hundred Beast Blood Refinement. He had completely unleashed his beast form just now; his twelve meridians opened instantly, and he transformed into a tiger-leopard, roughly equivalent to a Nine-Rank Peak Vicious Beast.”
“Then isn’t my Baby Disciple in grave danger?”
The Elder of Ruyi Peak suddenly stood up.
He had wanted to intervene the moment he learned of Lin Jiang and Wang Hu’s encounter, but he had been persuaded by a few Elders to hold back.
They feared that his rash action might scare away the big fish behind Wang Hu.
“Elder Lu, don’t worry, I haven’t finished yet.”
Yin Hua Xuan looked strange and added,
“Li Zhenchuan just happened to pass by.”
“Wang Hu has already been subdued by him, and is currently being escorted back by a nearby Inner Sect Executive.”
Li Mo again?
The Elders looked at each other in dismay.
Defeating a Nine-Rank Late Stage Vicious Beast, and then subduing Wang Hu, who was equivalent to a Nine-Rank Peak Vicious Beast.
The latter also possessed the intelligence of the Human Race, making him even more troublesome than a Vicious Beast.
To be honest, although Li Mo and Ying Bing both stood at the top of the Ascension Stone Steps, the Elders still believed that Ying Bing’s talent was far superior in all aspects.
After all, as the Sect Leader’s true Disciple, Ying Bing’s terrifying progress had already left them numb with shock.
Unexpectedly, Li Mo actually had a few points of being on par with her?
Not long after.
The Inner Sect Executive threw the unconscious Wang Hu onto the platform.
“Didn’t Li Mo come back with him?”
Elder Xue was the first to ask.
He worried that Li Mo was injured and was still stubbornly continuing the trial.
Some injuries, if dragged on for too long, could leave lasting ailments.
“Reporting to Elder Xue, according to Li Zhenchuan, Li Zhenchuan was not injured.” freewēbnoveℓ.com
“It should be true, because he subdued Wang Hu with just one move.”
One move?
Elder Xue then took the time to observe Wang Hu, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
He quickly discovered that Wang Hu’s entire arm was twisted and broken.
By no means did it look like he had experienced an evenly matched struggle.
Instead, it looked more like...
He was casually crushed by a stronger Vicious Beast.
Putting everything else aside.
Just this fierce combat power alone was enough to be compared with Ying Bing.
“Could it be that there’s a Bloodline of some powerful Vicious Beast hidden within this kid’s bone structure?”
Qian Bufan couldn’t help but suspect that he had been mistaken on the Ascension Stone Steps that day.
“If you alone were mistaken, it’s unlikely that all of us were mistaken.”
“He should have achieved Major Achievement in Body Refining.”
Han He shook his head.
Major Achievement in Body Refining within half a month of entering the Sect.
It seemed his guess that day was correct...
“Old man, you’re confused.”
Shang Wu’s apricot eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she smiled.
Han He remembered their bet, and his old face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had to admit.
Although Murong Xiao was also very excellent, the gap between him and Li Mo was simply incomparable.
A competition?
It was unknown if Murong Xiao could even block one punch from the current Li Mo, even with great effort.
Moreover, Li Mo would also improve, and his progress would only be faster.
“With these two, Qingyuan Sect shall prosper.”
A strong gleam burst forth in Yin Hua Xuan’s eyes.
The Elders nodded in agreement.
The first generation of Ancestral Masters who founded Qingyuan Sect all came from the Central Plains.
At that time, although Qingyuan Sect’s territory was only the single Ziyang Prefecture, it actually dominated the entire Eastern Wasteland Region.
Unexpectedly, in their generation, two prodigies comparable to the Ancestral Masters’ aura had emerged!
When they grew up.
Qingyuan Sect would likely shine like the sun and moon together!
Elder Xue chuckled and said, “Li Mo rescued a fellow Disciple and subdued Wang Hu. Let’s count it as a score for killing a Nine-Rank Peak Yao Beast. Do you all have any objections?”
No one objected.
Even giving Li Mo a few extra points was reasonable.
Thus.
The scoreboard became:
Ying Bing: 119 points.
Li Mo: 116 points.
Not long ago, Ying Bing had also killed a Nine-Rank Peak Vicious Beast.
So there was still a slight difference of three points between the two.
“Future matters are still long and should be discussed at length.”
“Right now, there are still people eyeing us.”
Elder Xue spoke, pulling everyone’s attention back.
“The person behind Wang Hu never made a move until the end.”
“The Demon Summoning Sect’s fiends are indeed vigilant.”
“Or perhaps Wang Hu was just a casual move, an idle chess piece for them?”
“Hmph, if you ask me, we should dig three feet deep. I don’t believe we can’t find the fiends’ traces!”
“Inappropriate. Such a large-scale operation would alert the enemy and might not yield any results.”
The Elders discussed for a while, unable to reach a consensus.
Ultimately, they decided to temporarily send the person to Ruyi Peak for detention and interrogation.
They would wait for the Sect Master to emerge from seclusion before making a final decision.
Anyway, the other party didn’t even care when Wang Hu died, so it was likely that this trial would not have any more incidents.
They would talk after the Sect trial safely concluded.
Just then.
Another Executive returned, dragging two Vicious Beasts.
A Scorched Ring Wolf King.
And a Lion-Bear.
Both were Nine-Rank Late Stage Vicious Beasts.
Before he even got close, the Elders recognized that this was definitely the work of that Li Zhenchuan again.
With this additional achievement, Li Mo’s score reached 146.
He instantly surpassed Ying Bing, becoming first.
“My Baby Disciple is first?”
Shang Wu snorted lightly, took the Executive’s pen, and swiftly changed Li Mo’s score, then hung it at the very top.
She crossed her arms and lifted her chin.
“Who else dares to say I can’t teach Disciples?”
The Elders: “...”
They were confused.

On the other side.
At the end of Creek Stone Forest.
“Senior Brother, save me!”
An Outer Sect Disciple was pounced on by a ferocious Lion-Bear, unable to resist.
He could only look with pleading eyes at a figure standing on a stone pillar.
That person, although not an Executive, wore the attire of a True Disciple.
The Outer Sect Disciple could never have imagined.
That the fellow Disciple he called with a signal flare would just stand there, watching the show with cold eyes, with no intention of helping.
In fact...
His eyes held only mockery and indifference.
It was none other than Yin Huacheng, who had voluntarily offered to be responsible for the Wangyue Cliff area.
Yin Huacheng was in an extremely bad mood right now.
Because Fu Tu had not fulfilled his promise; those Disciples who left the Sect had not returned home directly, but were instead eating, drinking, and having fun at a brothel in Ziyang Prefecture.
He had just learned that Wang Hu was dead.
This meant that he would not be able to obtain any Body Refining Materials for a short period of time.
And the cause of both these things was the same person.
“Li Mo!”
The veins on Yin Huacheng’s forehead throbbed, and his eyes alternated between vertical pupils and human eyes.
At this moment.
A crow landed on his shoulder, cawing a few times in a low, hoarse voice.
“Telling me not to stir up trouble?”
The Qi around Yin Huacheng grew more and more terrifying.
At this moment.
That Outer Sect Disciple finally stopped moving.
And the Lion-Bear, who was feasting, quickly turned around when it heard the movement.
However, as soon as it met Yin Huacheng’s gaze, its originally fierce eyes instantly turned fearful, and it lowered its body.
Pfft—
The Lion-Bear’s bright red heart was ripped out.
Yin Huacheng swallowed it in large gulps.
“I had intended to raise you for a while longer...”
“But since you ruined my Materials, you’ll have to pay with yourself.”
He changed into a black robe, and his figure vanished from where he stood.
