She was seduced by our Daozi!

"Good sword!"

Outside the stone platform, Qin Lingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of admiration flashing within them.

Although in her opinion, Qi Yuan's swordplay attainments were a bit rough, this particular sword move condensed the entire essence, Qi, and spirit of the wielder, subtly containing a true Sword Dao intent of pressing forward bravely and having no regrets, which was enough for her to take seriously.

Where the sword's edge pointed, gods and ghosts would retreat, a single sword suppressing an opponent a whole major Realm higher!

This Dao Child of Tai Xuan truly lived up to his reputation as a peerless Prodigy dominating the current era.

At the same time, the area around the combat arena once again fell into silence. The surrounding Cultivators stared dumbfounded at the figure standing with a sword in the center of the stone platform, speechless for a long time.

Everything that just happened was too fast, like a flash of lightning, gone in an instant. Before they could even react, the battle was already over.

Although many could guess that this was a crushing defeat due to a vast difference in strength, and from the result, it was indeed a vast difference, the problem was that the crushed party had changed... The Dao Child of Ziyang, Ji Tianpeng, a dignified Soul Transformation Early Stage Cultivator, whose raw strength was definitely far superior to other Soul Transformation Cultivators of the same rank, was defeated by the Dao Child of Tai Xuan without even blocking a single move.

He lost completely and utterly.

It was truly like a little cow visiting relatives, unbelievably awesome!

Not far away, Zhuang Qingyun, the Dao Child of Boundless Holy Land, gradually recovered from his shock and exclaimed,

"I didn't expect the new Dao Child of Tai Xuan Holy Land to possess such powerful talent. Indeed, the waves behind push the waves ahead; the younger generation is formidable."

"After this battle, the Dao Child of Tai Xuan will be famous throughout the world, joining the ranks of the most top-tier Geniuses in this Realm."

Beside him, Tu Ruoxu, the Dao Child of Wangu Holy Land, nodded slightly and said calmly,

"Though Ji Tianpeng has excellent talent, he is impetuous and underestimates his opponents. He did not lose unfairly in this battle."

"When the Dao Child of Tai Xuan used that sword earlier, he clearly employed some special method that burned vital Qi and blood. As it's said, 'strength cannot last long,' such an intense method must be unsustainable."

"If I were Ji Tianpeng, I would have avoided his sharp edge, planned for later, and waited for the opponent's peak to wane before counterattacking. Although the outcome would still be uncertain, he wouldn't have lost so miserably."

Hearing this, the surrounding Cultivators nodded in agreement, expressing deep approval.

"Dao Child!"

Just then, the Purple Sun Holy Land Cultivators present finally awoke as if from a dream and flew onto the stone platform to check Ji Tianpeng's injuries.

Soon, they discovered that although their Dao Child looked bloody and shocking on the outside, they were actually just superficial wounds.

In other words, Ji Tianpeng hadn't suffered much damage at all; the reason he was still unconscious was most likely because he had fainted from anger.

Of course, whether he fainted from anger or was deliberately feigning unconsciousness, only the Dao Child of Ziyang himself would know.

After all, a certain person's robes had been shredded by the Sword Qi earlier, and if he didn't remain prone on the ground, he might have made a spectacle of himself in public.

It should be known that most of the people present were female Disciples of Linglong Holy Land. If they were to see something they shouldn't, the consequences would be a hundred times more terrifying than losing the competition. Ji Tianpeng might have to move to another great world to live... Realizing that their Dao Child was not seriously injured, the Purple Sun Holy Land group breathed a sigh of relief, quickly fed Ji Tianpeng Medicinal Pills, and draped a new robe over him.

"Thank you, Dao Child of Tai Xuan, for showing mercy. Our Purple Sun Holy Land is extremely grateful!"

A leading Elder of Purple Sun Holy Land came forward, cupped his hands to Qi Yuan, and thanked him sincerely.

Qi Yuan slowly put away the Profound Heaven Sword in his hand and returned the bow with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ji is indeed thick-skinned and lives up to his reputation."

"This battle was truly exhilarating for This Qi. I hope he can regroup, and we can have another opportunity to spar and discuss the Dao next time..."

Hearing this, the corner of the Purple Sun Holy Land Elder's mouth twitched twice, and he almost swore aloud.

Thick-skinned?

Exhilarating?

What kind of sparring is this?

Are you treating our Dao Child as a sandbag?

Qi Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to the other party anymore. He looked directly at Xiao Yueni, who was standing not far from him, and said with a smile,

"Fairy Xiao, with matters here concluded, shall we return to the banquet? The dishes will be cold soon."

"No problem."

Xiao Yueni gave him a deep look, a flicker of unusual brilliance in her beautiful eyes. "Since Fellow Daoist Qi's elegant interest remains, Yueni will naturally accompany you. Please."

A moment later, with the exception of the Dao Child of Ziyang, Ji Tianpeng, the Prodigies from various Holy Lands all returned to the Jade Cicada Palace to continue the previous banquet.

Without the disruptor, the atmosphere at the table gradually relaxed. They toasted each other, their cups clinking, chatting and laughing freely.

Unlike before, everyone's gaze towards Qi Yuan carried a hint of solemnity and respect, along with a subtle trace of apprehension.

In essence, this world still revered the strong. Talented individuals would be valued wherever they went.

The Sword Qi Yuan unleashed earlier fully demonstrated his astonishing strength as the Dao Child of Tai Xuan!

By the time the banquet ended, it was almost dusk.

"Fairy Xiao, please come to Sunset Glow Courtyard later for a discussion. This Qi has something to ask of you."

Before leaving, Qi Yuan suddenly sent a Voice Transmission to Xiao Yueni, who had specifically come out to see them off.

Hearing this, Xiao Yueni was startled for a moment, then gave an imperceptible nod, replying via Voice Transmission,

"Alright, after I see off these Fellow Daoists, I will go to Sunset Glow Courtyard to find you immediately."

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, "In that case, I shall await Fairy's esteemed presence."

With that, he didn't linger, bid farewell to Qi Yao, and gracefully departed... Shortly after.

Sunset Glow Courtyard.

Seeing Qi Yuan's return, the Disciples of Taixuan Holy Land immediately erupted into a burst of incredibly excited cheers. They eagerly gathered around him, speaking in a flurry of words:

"Dao Child, that sword you just used was incredibly handsome! Luckily, your Junior Brother prepared a shadow recording talisman in advance. When we return to the Holy Land, we must let those Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters witness your magnificent bearing!"

"Lord Daozi is truly a peerless Prodigy personally chosen by the Sect Head. That Dao Child of Ziyang was as vulnerable as a mere chicken or dog before you."

"That's right, we must show those traitors from Purple Sun Holy Land what true Taixuan orthodoxy is!"

"Lord Daozi is mighty and unparalleled, his swordplay unrivaled. He is definitely the number one Prodigy of the younger generation in this Realm..."

Song Cheng, the usually steady Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, was also excited. Breaking from his usual low-key demeanor, he laughed heartily and said,

"Hahaha... Dao Child, you've done well this time! This act greatly boosted the prestige of our Taixuan Holy Land!"

"Your Subordinate has already informed the Sect Head of this joyous occasion. His venerable self is very pleased, and there will surely be a generous reward upon our return!"

The faces of the Taixuan Holy Land members were filled with undisguised joy.

For their Dao Child to surpass the Dao Child of Ziyang in such a highly anticipated event carried extraordinary significance, and no amount of joy would be excessive.

Qi Yuan, as the person involved, remained quite calm. Seeing that their celebration was mostly over, he spoke, saying,

"It was merely a sparring match between Fellow Daoists, nothing worth mentioning. The Linglong Saintess will be coming to our appointment later. Those who wish to laugh, do so now, but do not lose your composure later."

Linglong Saintess?

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Many male Disciples looked at Qi Yuan with ambiguous expressions, their eyes showing even deeper admiration.

So what if she's the number one beauty of the Righteous Path? Wasn't she still wooed by our Dao Child!

Before long, the respectful voice of a maid came from outside Sunset Glow Courtyard:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, our Saintess has come to pay a visit."

As her voice fell, the Linglong Saintess, Xiao Yueni, gracefully stepped into the courtyard. Her presence was refined and pure, her steps accompanied by clear light, like a Fairy from a painting, immediately causing the Taixuan Holy Land Disciples in the courtyard toI couldn't help but steal a glance..
