A life of clearness

Chapter 85 Does It Promise You?

This sword was like cutting off water.

The powerful arrow energy suddenly split into two in front of Rong Qing, and attacked her on both sides with great force.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

The split arrow energy broke through the numerous restrictions between the ascending platforms and swept through the more than 3,000 arenas near Rongqing with irresistible momentum. The originally stable and suspended arenas were all blasted into pieces by the strong airflow.

The more remote arena was less damaged, and was still able to keep half of it on the ground. Purple light flashed from time to time on its broken and exposed cross-section, which was the restriction inside that was still stubbornly supporting the arena from falling to the ground.

One left, one right.

The shock wave radiated from Rong Qing's position and spread all the way to the end of the sky before disappearing. The traces of the explosion were like a pair of open wings.

The inspector's face was gloomy, and he withdrew the spiritual power that was protecting the stone tablet above. He was always in a very good mood and smiling, but a rare flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The murderous intent only lasted for a moment, because... it was inappropriate.

He sighed inwardly. He had not stopped some of the actions of the main city family earlier, and even helped a small insignificant favor. He just wanted to know the origin of this female cultivator. An independent cultivator? Not likely. If it was those ancient sects that were good at prohibitions, he would personally receive the geniuses sent by them, and this person was not among them.

As for Baishi Temple, such a small temple, how could it accommodate such a big Buddha. He still remembered that when three people from Baishi Temple went out, only she came back. But he had seen many of these low-level cultivators being damaged so quickly in his more than a thousand years in Cangliuzhou. He had no impression of it at first, and it was only when Rong Qing shined in the arena that he remembered it.

"So he is a direct descendant of the Sword Sect."

This thought not only appeared in the mind of the inspector, but also in the minds of all monks who were qualified to know.

Just the radiating shock wave alone is so powerful, not to mention the damage endured by those who are in direct confrontation... Rong Qing's neatly tied bun was completely loosened, and her long hair spread out behind her.

Her outer robe was originally made of ordinary material, and now it had already turned into pieces, revealing the inner garment. On the snow-white inner garment was a group of strange and exquisite embroidered runes, like clouds, hovering on her neckline and chest.

Talisman embroidery, sword meaning.

Except for the direct descendants of Liuguang Sword Sect, no one else can possess it.

Even though there were millions of monks, the silence was frightening. No one dared to breathe louder. Only from time to time, large pieces of rubble fell from the terrace because the restrictions were unable to maintain, making a loud noise that echoed for a long time.

It turns out that the female cultivator who has mastered the prohibition to such an extent... is actually a sword cultivator! !

If Fenghuang'er heard the cultivators' thoughts, she would definitely shake her head and say, "You are wrong. You are all wrong. This sword power is not hers, but the person who gave her the sword power is someone that even the inspector dares not act rashly in front of, for fear of angering him."

Fenghuang'er thought that the inspector must be extremely regretful at this moment. After all, some things he did were too obvious.

Rong Qing took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. The taste of blood in her mouth made her grind her teeth uncomfortably. Her current condition was not very good.

Relying on the sword's will to counter the arrow's will, that had already consumed her great mental energy. After all, the floating book only helped her buy reaction time, and did not have the kindness to destroy the arrow for her. Therefore, she had no spare energy to block the arrow that followed, and could only resist it.

"I held on!" Rong Qing is now thankful for surviving the disaster.

I survived with only minor injuries. Fortunately, I chose the soul-possession technique, which allowed me to keep this protective clothing.

She endured the pain caused by the churning of blood and energy in her body and looked at the male cultivator right below her.

Yuan Ke obviously also had a protective treasure. The Yuanying-level spiritual plant on his body that was originally baring its fangs and claws had long since collapsed into ashes. But even though he was covered in blood and flesh, he was still standing in the air.

Moreover, his arms moved, and he slowly raised his longbow...

Rong Qing's pupils shrank and she shot downwards.

"How dare you hurt my son—" A scream suddenly rang out.

Yuan Yao, the beautiful palace lady, had already reacted and disregarded the rules, wanting to rush directly into the ring to save her most precious son. The protective spiritual weapon she left for her son was completely destroyed. If Rong Qing had the intention to kill him, Yuan Ke would not have survived.

But, how can we do this in time?
The distance between Rong Qing and Yuan Ke was only two hundred feet. This distance could be covered in the blink of an eye.

The sword passed lightly, and Yuan Ke's right hand holding the bow was severed at the wrist.

"Got it!"

Rong Qing grabbed the tip of the longbow, not caring at all that there was a severed hand firmly grasping the bow.

The golden elixir can be used, and the power of that arrow is comparable to that of the incarnation. Rong Qing was envious. In addition, even the floating word book mentioned it, this time, she had to get it by all means.

Rong Qing thought so and took action immediately.

There were a lot of restrictions on the bow, and she could tell their purpose at a glance. This was obviously because the family that owned the bow was unable to make the treasure recognize its master, so they used this kind of restrictions related to blood to achieve a similar effect of recognizing the master.

In other words, only the Yuan family members could invalidate the restriction and draw the bow. And under the continuous restriction reinforcement of the Yuan family for thousands of years, if an outsider wanted to use the bow, the first thing they would face was the countless restrictions spread on the bow.

But Rong Qing didn't care, and first put the so-called world's best bow into her storage ring. The storage bag was extremely unsafe under the watchful eyes of everyone. Instead, it was best used to confuse people.

"Madam, I advise you to calm down." Rong Qing placed the cold sword on Yuan Ke's neck without any emotion. "Stop."

Yuan Yao gritted his teeth and stopped suddenly at Rong Qing's signal.

She didn't dare to gamble, after all, Yuan Ke still had a faint breath. If Yuan Ke died, she would have no scruples and would first make the female cultivator pay with her life.

"Let my son go, I will allow you to leave safely." Yuan Yao suppressed his anger and stood with his hands behind his back.

"That's weird. Why should I leave?"

"You have offended my Yuan family. This is the greatest tolerance I can give you."

Rong Qing smiled. If this was the other party's bottom line, then I'm afraid it was still a long way from the bottom.

"Isn't this the Tiantai? This Master Yuan and I were competing on the stage, and the winner has just been decided. I won, why do you want me to leave?" Rong Qing tilted her head in confusion, "You don't have the three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and earth, so you should be the one to leave."

Yuan Yao, who was able to enter this place easily because the forbidden barrier was broken and the Ascension Platform completely collapsed, was furious when he heard Rong Qing's words. "How dare you, a Jindan junior cultivator, speak like this."

"Why shouldn't I say that?" Rong Qing showed an even more surprised look, although in Yuan Yao's eyes, this look only made her want to be beaten. "I haven't violated any rules. I am standing here because of my own ability. Besides, even if you are a half-step god, why should I be afraid of you?

I was born in the Liuguang Sword Sect, and am a direct descendant of the Sword Master lineage. My senior brothers are the Sword Masters Chongyu and Chongji. My master is the Sword Master Jiming.

I have three powerful gods behind me, what am I afraid of? " Rong Qing looked at Yuan Yao's extremely angry face and his body that didn't dare to take a step forward, and finally deeply felt the pleasure of fighting for a backer...

"You--" Yuan Yao raised his finger, and was about to unleash a high-level technique from his fingertips to severely dampen the arrogance of the female cultivator opposite him who was ignorant of her own limitations.

Isn't it because of the treasure that she has been able to jump around until now? Do you really think you are such a big shot? As the head of the Yuan family, doesn't she have any treasures?

Yuan Yao's fingers trembled in the air, but she didn't dare to make a move. She looked up and called out, "Inspector, the time has come. It should have been the time to decide the 10,000 places. But now you have seen that because of this man, more than 500 arenas have collapsed, and more than a dozen monks from our continent who should have gotten places have unfortunately died. How should the decision be made? Inspector, please give us an explanation." After she finished speaking, she bowed to the inspector and missed the chance to see the inspector's frown.

The inspector was very unhappy.

He didn't expect that Yuan Yao was the head of the family, but he was still so ignorant. He gave them some convenience, but was it necessary to implicate him in front of millions of cultivators? As the head of the Yuan family, didn't Yuan Yao realize that he had lost face?
That's right. The inspector couldn't help but sigh. He had cultivated himself but had not experienced the wind and rain. Once he encountered the test, his true colors were exposed. She thought that Cangliuzhou could live in a corner south of the South China Sea because he was so powerful and could withstand the wind and rain. It was the result of his hard work in mediating with all parties.

"There have always been various changes in the creation of the world. Even if this time is a little special, we still have to follow the rules." The voice of the inspector resounded in the ears of every cultivator. "Friend Yu Rong is quite powerful. I believe you have seen how she fought each time. This time, she will take the spot. As for the spots left by other cultivators who unfortunately died, the one with the highest cultivation level among those who had fought in their arena will be selected. The specific results will be announced in front of the City Lord's Mansion."

"I have an opinion."

Yuan Yao glared at Rong Qing. She was supposed to say this, but Rong Qing got it first. The quota has been obtained, what else do you have to say?
Rong Qing...of course I have some opinions.

"I suspect this fight is unfair."

"Where is the injustice?" asked the inspector.

"How can a Jindan be so powerful?" Rong Qing said as she thrust the sword in her hand towards Yuan Ke's neck. Yuan Yao was terrified.

Rong Qing didn't react at the time, but now she has come to her senses. Yuan Ke was able to shoot arrows so smoothly along the way, avoiding her various restrictions and spells. He must have used a lot of tricks, and even the process was instructed by someone. Since many cultivators were intimidated by her background, including the inspectors, even if they were not intimidated, they were still afraid of her. Under this premise, Rong Qing must take advantage of the situation to get some benefits for herself.

"Why can't he be powerful?" Yuan Yao laughed angrily. "You are also a golden elixir, but you can do it and he can't."

"calm."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, it was like adding fuel to the fire. Yuan Yao pursed his lips. He slapped his storage bag and pulled out a long whip, ready to attack. Rong Qing, in her current weak state, couldn't resist the strength of a half-step god.

Yuan Yao's face remained angry, but her heart had calmed down. To rescue Yuan Ke, she could only use her life-defining spiritual weapon and whip her right hand, which would not only injure her but also control her movements.

"Stop." A sweet voice came.

But the one who actually locked Yuan Yao tightly with his coercion was the Inspector.

"Sir." Yuan Yao was surprised. "Why are you here?"

"If I don't come, do I have to watch you continue to make trouble?" The person who came was the female senior. She looked younger than Yuan Yao and her voice was like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, making her sound like an old-fashioned person.

But Rong Qing would never underestimate her. Because Yuan Yao seemed not to be convinced by the inspector, but listened to the words of the female cultivator in front of him.

Half a step to becoming a god, or already become a god?
The opponent's pressure was not obvious, so Rong Qing found it difficult to judge accurately.

"My dear friend Yu Rong, Patriarch Yuan was a little impulsive. Let me apologize to you on her behalf." The female senior's attitude was also extremely gentle. At least she was the only high-level cultivator who softened her attitude in front of Rong Qing.

Rong Qing felt comfortable but at the same time, she became more alert.

"I see that your blood and energy are damaged. I'm afraid that any further delay will be detrimental to your foundation. I have a pill that is very effective in repairing hidden injuries. I'll give it to you. I've also arranged a quiet room with extremely rich spiritual energy, which is enough for you to recover to your best condition before the opening of the sky. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Rong Qing's eyes flashed, "You still don't know the Taoist name of the True Lord?"

The female senior chuckled, "Just call me Flower Master."

The person in front of her was very humble, but Rong Qing thought that she was much more dangerous than Yuan Yao.

"Master Hua... Senior." Rong Qing took a deep breath, "This elixir is rare, I dare not accept such kindness. But there is something that I am more interested in. I wonder if Senior can afford it?"

"Oh? You can say it." Hua Zhu was still gentle, and she didn't look unhappy even though Rong Qing answered like that. She knew that Rong Qing's words were unfair, but they were just excuses for him to make up for it. With Liuguang Sword Sect as his backing, even the inspector would prefer to keep things quiet.

They failed in this plot, but it's not that they can't afford to lose. It all depends on what Rong Qing wants.

"Spiritual plant, I want one that has the strength of half a step into the godhood."

The spiritual plant appeared twice on the stage, the first time on the male cultivator with the dagger, and the second time on Yuan Ke. In addition, the male cultivator with the dagger once threw a storage bag to Jiu Jue. Putting these together, it was not difficult for Rong Qing to infer that there was a force that provided them with this spiritual plant to assist in fighting. It didn't even need to be cultivated by the cultivators since childhood, they could use it as soon as they got it.

Since the Flower Lord was protecting Yuan Yao, how could Rong Qing believe that they were fine? Since they wanted spiritual plants, they had to be half-step into the God stage. She believed that the Flower Lord would not fail to give them... After all, didn't he give the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul stage to those subordinates in the Golden Core stage?

"Well." Huazhu was silent for a while.

Rong Qing ignored the awkward silence. Instead, she looked straight at the Flower Lord. The Flower Lord wanted to use this silence to make Rong Qing retreat, but Rong Qing would not fall for it. He only wanted a spiritual plant with the strength of a half-step into the God Realm, and he did not want spiritual plant seeds or cultivation methods. At most, the loss of resources would hurt the Flower Lord, but it was not a serious injury.

"It's already difficult to reach the Nascent Soul level, and it's too difficult to create a spiritual plant that's half a step away from becoming a god. I don't have any of them." The Flower Master sighed.

"Then I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be satisfied. If I'm not satisfied..." The cold sword intent cut into Yuan Ke's neck, "The Sword Master will also be unhappy."

"No." "Okay."

The Flower Lord waved his hand, silencing Yuan Yao's voice. "Let this child go. There really is no spiritual plant that can reach the half-step transformation into a god, but there is a spiritual plant that is only a hair's breadth away from reaching the half-step transformation into a god. I'll give it to you."

Rong Qing smiled, "That's great."

Removing the sword intent from Yuan Ke's neck, Hua Zhu threw a stone box in front of Rong Qing and it was floating.

"This flower is named Yao Niang. Cultivating it to the level of Nascent Soul Great Perfection consumes an enormous amount of resources, but the success rate of allowing it to break through to the level of Half-Step Divine Transformation is too low." The flower owner's explanation came to his ears. Rong Qing probed in with his spiritual consciousness to check. Inside the box was a piece of plain white cloth, one side of which had a specimen-like flower imprinted on it, or in other words, bound inside it.

Transaction.

Rong Qing threw Yuan Ke to Yuan Yao, who immediately caught it carefully.

When Rong Qing put the box into the storage ring, Huazhu said, "There is another item, which is the treasure of the Yuan family. It is of great significance. Please return it to the head of the Yuan family. She will definitely be willing to make some compensation."

Rong Qing glanced at Yuan Yao's face and asked calmly, "What is that?"

The Flower Master finally frowned, "My friend, please stop joking with me. This is the Demon-Breaking Bow that you put into your storage bag."

Rong Qing looked confused when she heard that, "What demon-destroying bow? There is no demon-destroying bow." She shook her head.

She asked Yuan Yao, "If you insist on saying that I took your clan treasure, then you can just call it and see if it agrees with you?"
