29: Lin Jing Challenge

"Senior Brother Hu won! As expected of him!"

"This battle was truly exhilarating to watch. Both Senior Brothers are incredibly strong!"

"Senior Brother Ning Feng is also very powerful, but he chose the wrong opponent."

"This time, the fight for Saint is mostly likely to end with Senior Brother Hu Junfeng's victory."

Seeing the high-spirited Hu Junfeng, Yi Hong also nodded slightly.

Hu Junfeng was taught by him personally, and now that he has achieved such success, surpassing his peers, it gives him a lot of face.

Even the frustration of losing to Lu Xingchen completely disappeared.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?" Yi Hong shouted loudly.

For a moment, everyone was afraid to speak.

Ning Feng was already the only one in the entire Lingxiao Sect who could contend with Hu Junfeng; other Chief Disciples had even lower Cultivation and would only be giving away a win.

Just as Yi Hong was about to announce the results of the competition, a clear, cold voice rang out: "I'd like to try!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a beautiful woman approaching from a distance.

The woman was dressed in white, her long black hair cascaded to her waist, her long legs were dazzlingly white, and she held a crimson longsword.

Her face looked very gentle, but it gave people a feeling of 'do not approach strangers'.

"Who is this person? How dare she challenge Senior Brother Hu Junfeng!"

"Never seen her before, she's a new face."

"A new Disciple? And she dares to challenge Senior Brother Hu Junfeng?"

"Are you all blind? This is Senior Sister Lin Jing, a Senior Disciple of the Lingxiao Sect!"

Wang Dongxuan, who was beside Lu Xingchen, also let out an exclamation.

"Oh my goodness, it's Senior Sister Lin Jing! Why is she here?"

Lu Xingchen was a little puzzled, and asked in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Dongxuan, who exactly is this Lin Jing? You seem to respect her so much."

Wang Dongxuan took a deep breath and explained in detail.

"Senior Sister Lin Jing is the older sister of Senior Brother Lin Xu. Senior Brother Lin Xu is the most dazzling Genius our Lingxiao Sect has seen in a hundred years. In less than three years after joining the Sect, he Cultivated to the Great Martial Master Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen gasped.

A Disciple in the Great Martial Master Realm?

Even he, with his cheats, couldn't compare!

This Lin Xu was truly a Dragon among men!

"What happened next?"

Lu Xingchen grew even more curious.

"Our Lingxiao Sect and the Five Elements Sect have always had friction. Knowing that a Genius like Lin Xu appeared in the Lingxiao Sect, the Five Elements Sect couldn't rest easy. They captured Senior Sister Lin Jing and set a trap to ambush Lin Xu."

"Senior Brother Lin Xu, alone with his sword, charged into the Five Elements Sect, killed a Vice Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect and countless Elders and Disciples, and rescued Senior Sister Lin Jing, but he also died in the Five Elements Sect."

Lu Xingchen sighed softly.

"Those guys from the Five Elements Sect are too shameless! Using the power of an entire Sect to deal with one Disciple, they actually did something like that?"

"Senior Sister Lin Jing was originally a kind-hearted older sister, but after that, her personality changed drastically. She no longer stayed in the Lingxiao Sect to Cultivate, but instead roamed around the Five Elements Sect, constantly ambushing their Disciples."

"In the past year, a large number of Five Elements Sect Disciples have died at the hands of Senior Sister Lin Jing. She is on the Five Elements Sect's wanted list, living on the edge of life and death every day."

After hearing all of this, Lu Xingchen was filled with emotion.

He understood Senior Sister Lin Jing; such pain from losing a loved one is not something an ordinary person can bear.

If his own father had died on the battlefield, he would also slaughter the entire Fengming Kingdom.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "So this time, Senior Sister Lin Jing specifically returned to become the Saintess of the Lingxiao Sect, and then lead us to fight to the death with the Five Elements Sect."

"After all, those going to the Chuyuan Secret Realm this time are all elite Disciples from various Sects. Killing more ordinary Disciples is not as significant a loss as taking down a few elite Disciples."

Wang Dongxuan nodded heavily: "That should be it."

"But wasn't it said that only Chief Disciples could challenge Hu Junfeng? How did Senior Sister Lin Jing qualify?"

Wang Dongxuan shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure. But the answer will be revealed soon!"

Upon seeing Lin Jing, Yi Hong was also slightly stunned, and then his eyes became a little red.

Because Lin Xu and Lin Jing were once his Disciples as well.

Yi Hong immediately guessed Lin Jing's intention and loudly said: "Only Chief Disciples from each peak have the opportunity to challenge Hu Junfeng. Lin Jing, you have resigned as Chief Disciple for a year and are not eligible to participate!"

Lin Jing said unhurriedly: "Moxuan has given me the position of Chief Disciple of Great Bamboo Peak, so I believe I am eligible to participate!"

Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then asked: "That's allowed?"

Wang Dongxuan nodded slightly: "The Chief Disciple positions of each peak can be freely transferred; the stronger one holds it."

Hearing this, Yi Hong's face darkened, and he looked at Moxuan of Great Bamboo Peak: "Moxuan, is this true?"

Feeling Yi Hong's piercing gaze, cold sweat dripped from Moxuan's forehead, but he still bit the bullet and said: "What Senior Sister Lin Jing said is true."

Moxuan was suffering internally.

He had met Lin Jing during a training exercise and she had saved his life.

Although he knew Senior Sister Lin Jing's intentions, he had to repay this favor.

Yi Hong's brows furrowed, and he walked to Hu Junfeng's side, saying in a deep voice: "Hu Junfeng, this time it's up to you. We absolutely cannot let Lin Jing become the Saintess, otherwise, among our seven Chief Disciples, I'm afraid few will return alive!"

Hu Junfeng nodded solemnly: "I will give it my all!"

Lin Jing, holding her longsword, walked onto the arena.

Lu Xingchen asked: "What is Senior Sister Lin Jing's Cultivation?"

Wang Dongxuan said: "Although she is not as astonishing as Lin Xu, she is also a Genius. A year ago, Senior Sister Lin Jing's Cultivation had already reached the Eight-Star Martial Master Realm."

Lu Xingchen frowned: "That strong? In a year's time, raising two minor Realms shouldn't be a problem. Senior Sister Lin Jing has long been living on the edge of life and death, and her combat experience is extremely rich. I feel like Hu Junfeng is going to lose!"

Wang Dongxuan also had some worries: "Now we can only put our hopes on Hu Junfeng!"

Below the arena, only a small number of Senior Disciples still recognized Lin Jing; most of the Disciples preferred Hu Junfeng.

So the shouts of encouragement were all for Hu Junfeng.

"Go, Senior Brother Hu, defeat this Lin Jing!"

"Although I do sympathize with Senior Sister Lin Jing, choosing a Saint is a big deal, and strength must be respected."

"Senior Brother Hu Junfeng is the strongest!"

But Hu Junfeng on the arena had no arrogance whatsoever. As the current Saint, he had heard about Lin Jing's situation.

This woman's Cultivation talent was no weaker than his, and she had also Cultivated for a year longer than him.

The pressure was immense!

Hu Junfeng cupped his hands to Lin Jing and said: "Senior Sister Lin Jing, I am very sorry about Lin Xu's matter. But the Lingxiao Sect and the Five Elements Sect are evenly matched in strength; if we are forced to fight to the death, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"I understand your feelings, but I do not agree with your approach. Therefore, today, I must defend this position of Saint!"
