CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: ANGER BORN OF SHAME, BLOODSHED IN SIGHT

"What kind of Sect is this Dragon God Sect? I’ve never heard of it before."

"Maybe it’s just an obscure small Sect?"

"That girl is too stubborn. The Qitian Sword Sect is one of the three great powers of our Shenfeng Dynasty, with powerhouses of the Nirvana Realm. If she joins the Qitian Sword Sect, it would be a great fortune, and her prospects would soar!"

"This girl is too ignorant; she’s giving up such a great opportunity. I truly feel sorry for her..."

For a moment, a flurry of discussion erupted among the crowd, various complex emotions brewing in their hearts.

Is this little girl out of her mind? Xiong Yinghao widened his eyes, looking at Su Wanyi with an incredulous expression. Today, Su Wanyi’s performance was extremely impressive, and she had caught the attention of Elder Luo early on. If she joined the Qitian Sword Sect, she would undoubtedly become one of the Disciples of Heaven’s Pride. How could she not seize such a significant opportunity?

Hearing the ongoing debates around him, the expression on Elder Luo of the Qitian Sword Sect turned gloomy. He glared at Su Wanyi with murderous intent in his eyes, as if wanting to devour her whole. He hadn’t expected this girl to reject his invitation so straightforwardly. It was utterly arrogant and audacious. Who dared to even utter a word of refusal where his Qitian Sword Sect exercised its might across the entire Shenfeng Dynasty?

Elder Luo suppressed the anger in his heart and coldly asked, "Su Wanyi, why don’t you want to join my Qitian Sword Sect?"

Su Wanyi raised her head, her expression calm. Facing the enraged Elder Luo without any fear, she stated blandly, "The Dragon God Sect is great. I’ve never contemplated shifting my allegiance."

"Good! Good! Good!" Elder Luo repeated "good" three times, his face ashen. He was infuriated by Su Wanyi. What an obstinate fool! What good could come from sticking to a tiny, third-rate Sect?

"Su Wanyi!" Furiously glaring, Elder Luo demanded, "Then why did you participate in the Tri-element Martial Meeting? Wasn’t it to join a stronger Sect?"

Su Wanyi ignored Elder Luo, looked around, and said indifferently, "Now that I’ve secured a Heavenly Yuan spot, shouldn’t there be a reward?"

"..."

The surroundings fell completely silent. Nobody expected that, after rejecting Elder Luo’s kind offer, Su Wanyi would still demand the reward for the Tri-element Martial Meeting. Shouldn’t she be hurrying to leave Silver Moon City at this point? After all, offending a Divine Bridge Realm Elder of the Qitian Sword Sect was no joking matter.

"You!" Seeing Su Wanyi’s lack of appreciation, Elder Luo trembled in anger. If it weren’t for his esteemed status and high cultivation base, he would have slapped Su Wanyi to death long ago.

Xiong Yinghao assessed the situation and knew it was time for him to step in and manage things. Stepping out from the spectator’s canopy, he looked down from his vantage point and coldly said, "Su Wanyi, you are ungrateful and have provoked the Qitian Sword Sect. Do you still expect a reward? Ridiculous! Guards, arrest Su Wanyi immediately and lock her in the dungeon!"

Xiong Yinghao’s words shocked the entire audience. Nobody expected the City Lord of Silver Moon City to suddenly resort to such ruthless tactics against a Cultivator who had just secured a Heavenly Yuan spot. But upon reflection, they understood. Even the City Lord of Silver Moon City dared not offend Elder Luo of the Qitian Sword Sect. A mere Su Wanyi—what qualifications did she possess to dare offend Elder Luo? In the Shenfeng Dynasty, a single whim from the Qitian Sword Sect could annihilate any Sect.

The surrounding spectators, their faces pale with terror, began to back away.

At this moment, a dozen figures dashed forward, landing on the arena platform. These Cultivators drew their Longswords and slowly surrounded her.

"Su Wanyi, if you don’t want to die, drop your weapon immediately," a middle-aged Cultivator ordered coldly.

Su Wanyi looked at these Cultivators, her pupils constricting slightly. There were twelve of them in total, all at the Origin Sea Realm. The lowest cultivation base among them was the Third Layer of the Origin Sea Realm, while the highest had reached the Sixth Layer. Despite being surrounded by formidable enemies, Su Wanyi remained calm.

"Is this the Tri-element Martial Meeting? What a disappointment! And Xiong Yinghao, as the City Lord of Silver Moon City, your shamelessness is truly chilling!" Su Wanyi lifted her chin, her gaze cold as she looked at Xiong Yinghao in the distance, and let out a scoff.

"Impudence!" Xiong Yinghao seethed, his whole body shuddering. "Capture her!" With a wave of his hand, he gave the command to attack.

Twelve Cultivators brandished their Swords in unison, charging towards Su Wanyi.

Seeing this, the redness on Elder Luo’s enraged old face gradually faded. Xiong Yinghao had handled this adequately. If Su Wanyi could not be recruited by the Qitian Sword Sect, then it was better to kill her directly to prevent her from becoming a future threat.

Seeing the shameless expressions of Elder Luo from the Qitian Sword Sect and the despicable actions of Xiong Yinghao, the City Lord of Silver Moon City, the Big Black Cat perched on Su Wanyi’s shoulder suddenly became furious.

"Alright, you little bastards are rotten to the core! Old Cat here is going to eat all of you!" The Big Black Cat was burning with rage, about to leap from Su Wanyi’s shoulder, resume her true form, and unleash a massacre.

Suddenly, Ye Yun’s voice reached her ear. "Don’t be hasty. You can deal with that wolf cub later!"

Hearing her Master’s voice, the Big Black Cat was suddenly jolted. What did the Master mean by that? Could it be referring to... that peculiar Super Divine Dragon Breath she had perceived earlier?

The Big Black Cat calmed down and abruptly looked up. She noticed that the moon in the sky seemed redder than before. She seemed to understand who the "wolf cub" her Master was referring to was.

Wow! The Big Black Cat was incredibly excited at this moment; the Master had entrusted such an important task to her. This meant the Master was beginning to trust her. If she truly did nothing but laze around on the carriage all day, the Big Black Cat actually felt a bit guilty, fearing that one day her Master might ruthlessly abandon her.

The Big Black Cat contentedly settled back on Su Wanyi’s shoulder, awaiting the appearance of the foretold "wolf cub."

「On the arena stage.」

Su Wanyi was already engaged in combat with the twelve Origin Sea Realm Cultivators. The enemy’s attacks were dense, with streaks of sword light raining down on her. Su Wanyi didn’t meet their attacks head-on. Instead, she relied on her Divine Dragon Nine-Change Body Technique to evade swiftly. She weaved through the tide of attacks, looking for openings to counterattack.

This is great! Su Wanyi once again felt the immense pressure of battle, and a sense of pleased anticipation rose within her. She had once spoken privately with Luo Li and knew that Luo Li and Jun Moxiao had faced several waves of powerful enemies during their great battle with the Blood Robe Sect Sub-branch. In that battle, both of them had advanced two minor realms consecutively. The current battle situation was remarkably similar to that encounter with the Blood Robe Sect. Now she understood the Ancestor’s intention. It seemed everything was proceeding according to the Ancestor’s masterful plan.

"This little girl’s movement technique is indeed superb. How about we send a few more Cultivators up?" Elder Luo turned his head, glanced at Xiong Yinghao, and said softly.

Xiong Yinghao nodded quickly. With an immediate wave of his hand, another four or five high-level Origin Sea Realm Cultivators joined the fray.

At this moment, Elder Luo suddenly felt something and looked up at the full moon in the night sky. He squinted, a sense of unease stirring within him. Strange, why is the moon somewhat red tonight?
