149: An undercover agent from the Heavenly Palace

"Brother Lin Xiao, you're here."

The owner of this voice was Li Qingyu.

"Qingyu?!" Lin Xiao stared at Li Qingyu, stunned.

He looked up at the enormous beam of Luck Qi, formed by converging Luck, above his head, somewhat bewildered.

"My heavens, this Azure Emperor Sect's Luck tide was triggered by Li Qingyu?"

Lin Xiao's handsome face twitched, a little incredulous.

"Brother Lin Xiao, what are you looking at?" Li Qingyu asked, a bit confused by Lin Xiao's expression.

Then, following Lin Xiao's gaze, he also looked up at his own head.

But when he saw nothing, he became even more puzzled.

"Uh... nothing, just thought of something," Lin Xiao said with an awkward laugh.

"Oh, alright. The competition is about to start, so let's head in first."

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't want to elaborate, Li Qingyu didn't press further and instead said to Lin Xiao.

"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded.

With that, he followed Li Qingyu's footsteps into the trial grounds.

At this moment, the trial grounds were incredibly lively.

Not only were there Outer Sect Disciples who had just joined, but also many veteran Azure Emperor Sect Disciples who had joined years ago, crowding among the spectators to witness this grand event.

"Heavens, it's Young Master Feng from the Underworld Dao Domain. That Underworld Fist is truly formidable."

"Indeed, looking at its power, it's simply incredible."

"Alas, once these new Disciples join the Sect, things will be difficult for us old Outer Sect Disciples."

"Difficult for what? Don't you know that these powerful Disciples can directly enter the top ten if they rank high enough?"

"Haha, it seems so, I was confused."

"Everyone, look! On the adjacent arena, Saintess Tao Yaoyao is defending the stage. Her figure... I feel like I'm about to *censored*."

"Haha, brother, you're courting death! If Saintess Tao Yaoyao hears that, your little brother won't be safe."

"Truth be told, this Tao Yaoyao is truly beautiful, worthy of being the Saintess of the Peach Blossom Family."

"Yes, the Hundred Flowers Dao Domain is known for producing handsome men and beautiful women, and Saintess Tao Yaoyao is an unparalleled beauty among them, truly enviable."

"She has strength, she has beauty. If I could marry a wife like her in the future, I would be content for the rest of my life."

"Wake up, brother, you won't find a wife for the rest of your life, hahahaha."

"Get out of here, stay away from me, I don't want to talk to you."

Countless Azure Emperor Sect Disciples discussed animatedly, watching the competitions of these newly joined Prodigies and chatting cheerfully.

However, compared to these people, Lin Xiao was clearly somewhat distracted.

Because the moment Lin Xiao entered the trial grounds and saw the power of Luck on Li Qingyu, his thoughts had already become immersed.

Immersed back into those few conversations with the Bald Monk yesterday.

"Azure Emperor's Successor, Azure Emperor's Successor, Azure Emperor Sect's Luck, Luck... this unlucky fellow wouldn't happen to be Li Qingyu, would he?" Lin Xiao thought with a smile.

He looked at the verdant Luck Azure Lotus on Li Qingyu's head with some helplessness.

And the faint aura on him that connected to the Azure Emperor Sect.

This grand display made it hard for him not to be noticed.

Carrying such a prominent thing, wasn't it clearly telling others, "I am the Azure Emperor Sect's Successor, come and kill me quickly!"

"This is truly a bit troublesome," Lin Xiao said with a wry smile.

Lin Xiao wouldn't be so foolish as to think that he was the only one in this world who could see the power of Luck.

Thinking this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but look around the trial grounds.

As Lin Xiao looked around, he indeed saw that many people's gazes were fixed on Li Qingyu.

Among them were naturally the Azure Emperor Sect Disciples who had conversed with the Bald Monk yesterday.

The few of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became a bit awkward.

"Alas, I didn't expect it, Li Qingyu really is that unlucky fellow," Lin Xiao thought with a bitter smile.

Then he stopped looking at them and turned his gaze to the arena.

"What's going on with the person next to that kid? Could he know about our plan?"

As for those few traitor Disciples, they quickly lowered their heads after seeing Lin Xiao's gaze.

"That shouldn't be the case. Our identities have always been very secretive. Even the Elders of the Azure Emperor Sect haven't discovered us. How could that kid discover our identities?"

"Indeed, perhaps I was overthinking it."

"Heh heh, the Luck detection tool given by the Buddhist Sect is really useful. You keep an eye on them, I'll go tell the Great Master this news and be right back."

"Alright, hurry up. I'm afraid it won't be long before the people of the Azure Emperor Sect discover this kid's identity."

While watching, they also observed Lin Xiao and the others' every move.

"Going to inform them, are they?" Lin Xiao murmured to himself, watching one of them leave.

Since he had nothing else to do, Lin Xiao was about to watch the competition.

But just as Lin Xiao had turned his gaze to the arena, Li Qingyu's voice suddenly rang out beside him.

"Brother Lin Xiao, look! That person on the arena named Bai Qianqiu is so powerful. He defeated a King Sealing Realm Prodigy in just two or three moves."

"Bai Qianqiu?!" Lin Xiao was stunned to hear that name.

"Isn't that the name of the Jue Tian Palace traitor?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

With that, he immediately looked towards that arena.

He saw a Young Master dressed in white, with extraordinary features.

In just a few moves, he kicked a relatively strong young Prodigy off the arena.

With the victory of this white-clothed Young Master, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

"Heavens, Young Master Bai is too amazing! He defeated a Cultivator of the same Realm in just three moves. This is simply invincible!"

"Indeed, except for those Ancient Prodigies, perhaps no one is his match."

"You're stating the obvious, but it's a good thing Young Master Bai isn't an Ancient Prodigy, otherwise, I think even those Ancient Prodigies might not be his match."

"Young Master Bai seems to be called Bai Qianqiu, right? It seems that in our Azure Wood Dao Domain and its affiliated Dao Domains, before the Golden Great Age, I haven't heard of a Genius named Bai Qianqiu."

"I don't know, maybe he's a late bloomer, but he's awesome, that's for sure."

"Yes, Young Master Bai is too handsome, I want to have your babies!"

Below the arena, countless young men and women loudly discussed, looking at Bai Qianqiu on the stage with fervent eyes.

"Heh heh, interesting. It seems this Jue Tian Palace really put in a lot of effort."

"They're even willing to throw a Disciple with such Heaven-Defying Aptitude into the Azure Emperor Sect. Aren't they afraid he won't return?" Lin Xiao thought with a smile.

In his opinion, this fellow named Bai Qianqiu, whether in strength or talent, was one in a million.

As long as he didn't fall, he was destined to become a Saint.

But he just couldn't understand what exactly this Jue Tian Palace was up to.

A Disciple with such strong talent, instead of cultivating him well within their own Sect, they threw him into the Azure Emperor Sect to be an undercover agent.

Was the Jue Tian Palace's brain broken, or something?

Or, did they have some ulterior motive?
