Chapter 496: Chapter 440: The Dao Dream Butterfly (Part 3)

Previously, he had proactively tried to win over Ye Xiao, hoping to bring him into his fold, but Ye Xiao’s attitude had always been ambiguous and noncommittal. Now, due to this particular story, Ye Xiao’s attitude had changed, and he was proactively showing goodwill. Such an opportunity must not be missed.

He smiled and said, "Well, the scenery of Huanggen Sect has its unique charm. Last time, I visited in a hurry and didn’t have the chance to appreciate it. Lu Qian, this time, let’s impose for a few days."

Lu Qian naturally understood the meaning behind the words and realized that Master Cangfeng and he were thinking alike.

"In that case, we apologize for troubling Fairy Ye."

Thus, the three of them flew into the air, shining with escape light, heading towards Huanggen Sect.

A few days later, in early December, at Lingsha City, the first Shuangye Alliance Martial Arts Tournament had already reached its climax.

A large batch of outstanding disciples emerged, and the rewards were even greater than planned. Approximately eighty percent of cultivators received various prizes from Shuangye Alliance, including magical artifacts, talismans, elixirs, materials, and more.

Top ten individuals and top three teams also received the coveted secret techniques and cultivation techniques, further boosting morale and battle spirit.

As long as one’s performance on stage wasn’t too poor, one could receive guidance and rewards. So, during this time, Shuangye Alliance cultivators were beaming with joy.

Meanwhile, after nearly a month of personal and group competitions, the judging panel and the upper echelon of Shuangye Alliance carefully guided the participants, leading to a steady improvement in the disciples’ combat skills.

Now, the tournament had reached the final stage.

In the Qi Cultivation early-stage, mid-stage, and late-stage tracks, individual and team categories made up six finals. Except for the stationed troops, intelligence groups, and surveillance posts which couldn’t leave lightly, most other cultivators laid down their tasks to come to the arena, cheering and encouraging their supported competitors.

Among them, the individual category produced three first-place winners. If they were Yushan disciples, their disciple level would be upgraded by one level, drawing considerable attention.

At this moment, the early-stage Qi Cultivation contest had concluded, and the champion was jubilantly shouting on stage.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged cultivator with graying hair was also dancing enthusiastically in the audience, causing mud specks to fly around, forcing nearby cultivators to dodge.

It was Cui Linglong and Cui Shanyan, father and daughter.

Jiang Baitao sat in the center of the stands, munching on fruit, muttering indistinctly, "That silly Linglong, if I were her, I wouldn’t be so happy. Her current disciple level upgrade is just a waste."

Originally, Cui Linglong was still an outer disciple, and upgrading her level would make her an Inner Sect Ding Class.

However, with her own cultivation and merit points, advancing to Inner Sect Ding Class was already a fast affair.

Jiang Qingfeng patted her on the head, "Don’t talk while eating. You’re a grown young lady now, you should conduct yourself appropriately when sitting or walking." ℴ

Jiang Baitao snorted discontentedly, and just as the rebellious girl was about to speak, Qingfeng interrupted her again, "Look, Li Da and Ruo Yu are taking the stage."

She quickly looked toward the field, seeing Li Da and Wang Ruoyu already standing in the center.

They were now participating in the mid-stage Qi Cultivation final.

Jiang Baitao furrowed her brows and put down the half-eaten fruit.

The sun was brightly shining at this moment, and with her mid-stage Qi Cultivation vision, she could naturally see clearly.

Li Da and Wang Ruoyu’s faces bore no hint of a smile.
