Chapter 803 - 747: Victory Without Bloodshed

Chapter 803: Chapter 747: Victory Without Bloodshed

To the people spectating below the stage, it’s not obvious that Shen Huaxi and Xingchou are Extraordinary People, especially Xingchou. If she hadn’t revealed herself back then, Jiang Yuebai wouldn’t have known her identity.

At this moment, Shen Huaxi is quite interested in Xingchou, this Extraordinary Person from the Upper Realm, especially when he sees Xingchou’s cultivation now. He recalls those Extraordinary People in the Earth Spiritual Realm, who can’t even pass from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation and must sacrifice within their clan.

Therefore, after Shen Huaxi reached the Upper Realm, he has been secretly searching for other Extraordinary People.

Xingchou is the first one he’s met.

He wants to know how Xingchou cultivates, how she breaks through each major hurdle, and how she mingles among normal Human Clan cultivators.

However, these topics are not something Shen Huaxi can discuss with Xingchou on the stage.

Xingchou has no intention of talking with him, she steps forward, her whole body overflowing with dark red demonic qi, vaguely transforming into a dragon.

Seeing this, Shen Huaxi voluntarily steps back and raises his voice, saying, "I can solve your hidden danger!"

Xingchou’s eyes widen, her steps halt, the dark red demonic qi still surrounds her body like a dark red dragon.

"What did you say?" Xingchou finally speaks.

Shen Huaxi’s eyes deepen, "You should have already inquired about my information and know that I am a Medical Cultivator. If I am not mistaken, you must have forcefully formed a Nascent Soul before and were interrupted by external forces, leaving hidden dangers within your body..."

Before Shen Huaxi finishes speaking, Xingchou immediately turns to look at Jiang Yuebai below the stage. She had long suspected Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi’s identities, especially since the features of their moves were quite evident when they met at the Nine Dragon Ruins.

If Jiang Yuebai is the person she encountered, then it’s perfectly normal for Shen Huaxi to know that her Nascent Soul formation was interrupted by the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon.

Thinking of this, Xingchou’s demonic qi fluctuates around her, the dragon roars angrily, pressing forward.

Shen Huaxi sweeps his sleeves, his whole body turns into three blood shadows, rushing in three different directions, just avoiding Xingchou, and then integrates into one behind her and transforms back into Shen Huaxi’s likeness.

"The hidden danger from your Nascent Soul formation is just the trigger of your internal problems. Later in your cultivation..."

His voice cuts off, and Shen Huaxi switches to transmitting his voice directly.

Below the stage, Xie Jingshan leans forward anxiously, "What? What are they saying? Is there anything I can’t listen to?!"

The other spectators crane their necks, intrigued by the conversation between the two.

After Shen Huaxi finishes speaking, Xingchou’s whole body trembles, even the demonic qi around her disperses.

Taking advantage of Xingchou’s disturbed state of mind, Shen Huaxi continues, "I know that as Loose Cultivators, you participated in the Qingyun Conference through the Independent Cultivator Alliance, aiming to enter the top hundred for some rewards, but compared to your own safety, which is more important? Standing out and gaining fame might be good for others, but for you..."

"What do you want?" Xingchou asks.

"Concede, and after the Qingyun Conference, I will help you resolve the hidden dangers, and I can swear an oath and form a contract!"

Xingchou clenches her fists, her pupils trembling. Shen Huaxi’s voice just now hit every crucial point.

Regarding her internal hidden dangers, she hasn’t mentioned them to anyone, not even her father.

No one knows that at the Nine Dragon Ruins, a remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon invaded her body, attempting to rebirth through her.

And she also has the same advancement difficulties as an Extraordinary Person; if not for the help of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon’s remnant soul, she wouldn’t have been able to successfully form a Nascent Soul or cultivate to mid-stage Nascent Soul so quickly.

During this time, she tried various methods to destroy the remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon, but that thread of remnant soul gradually merged with her Divine Soul, making it difficult to separate. Forcibly removing it would cause her soul to scatter.

However, if it really merges, Xingchou herself doesn’t know what she will become.

Later, she met Chu Xin, who helped her with his Ice Method to temporarily freeze the remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon.

She was then invited by Chu Xin to participate in the Qingyun Conference.

She came not to seek fame or rewards, but out of desperation, with a slight intention for adventure.

She hopes to stand out at the Qingyun Conference, attracting the favor of a Great Power Cultivator, so that she can use that Great Power to eliminate the remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon.

After all, she is just a rootless Loose Cultivator, who doesn’t know any Great Power Cultivators and has no regular opportunities to interact with them.

Shen Huaxi didn’t say it directly, but Xingchou can sense from his words that he could help her get rid of the remnant soul of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon, and also help her solve the advancement difficulties.

Xingchou weighed the pros and cons; Shen Huaxi is right. She can’t enter the top three, and the rewards from the Independent Cultivator Alliance aren’t significant; standing out, as a Demon Cultivator, would ultimately have more disadvantages.

Relying on a Great Power Cultivator’s favor is even more uncertain.

If conceding can be exchanged for an opportunity to solve hidden dangers, it’s completely worthwhile.

Xingchou withdraws her aura and stands firm, already having made her decision.

"Alright, make your oath first!"

Shen Huaxi expected this, but before taking the vow, he glanced at Jiang Yuebai below the stage and then transmitted his voice to Xingchou.

"Regarding the matter of the ruins, I hope the lady keeps it secret. If it inadvertently implicates innocent people, even an oath might not restrain me!"

Jiang Yuebai hadn’t told Shen Huaxi many details about the Nine Dragon Ruins, but with Shen Huaxi’s intellect, just from the ’Candle Dragon’ keyword, he could deduce many things.

Back when Jiang Yuebai was trapped, Lu Nanzhi couldn’t kill Xingchou to root out the problem entirely, leaving a significant hidden danger.

No matter what lies beneath the Nine Dragon Ruins, if Xingchou publicly announces it, it will inevitably bring catastrophe upon Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi.

Therefore, Shen Huaxi also had to help them eliminate this hidden danger.

In doing so, he could achieve victory without bloodshed, enter the top hundred, and win over Xingchou. Later, when leaving the Qingyun Conference, he can find a safe place to inquire about the secrets of the Upper Realm’s Extraordinary People.

This battle, killing three birds with one stone!

Xingchou glanced at Jiang Yuebai and nodded in agreement.

Then, the two formed a contract and swore an oath with a handshake.

"I concede!"

Xingchou raises her hand, voluntarily conceding, finally glancing at Shen Huaxi, then jumps off the stage and leaves directly.

These circumstances cause a stir among the spectators.

What does it mean to win without bloodshed?

This is it!

The crowd doesn’t really know what Shen Huaxi specifically discussed with Xingchou, but to make an opponent willingly give up a chance to enter the top hundred with just a few words, this level of scheming is admirable!

It just goes to show, intelligence is indeed a valuable asset!

The further the competition goes, the more intense and difficult the battles will become. Saving energy in this round increases the odds of success in later matches.

Many people cast admiring glances at Shen Huaxi, but Xie Jingshan feels a bit uncomfortable, relying on close relations to give mocking remarks from below the stage.

"Shen Huaxi, your cunning really disgusts me! I gathered so many people to support you, and you end the battle like this? My whole expectation is misplaced, misplaced!!"

Shen Huaxi smiles at Xie Jingshan’s words, standing on stage, graceful and composed.

Jiang Yuebai’s Crane Feather Avatar exchanges a glance with Shen Huaxi; Jiang Yuebai silently thanks him. From Shen Huaxi and Xingchou constantly looking at her, she can guess that Shen Huaxi must have sealed Xingchou’s lips.

Otherwise, Xingchou knowing about the Zhur Jiuyou matter and potentially speaking out would cause significant trouble.

Additionally, Jiang Yuebai believes Shen Huaxi will handle this matter appropriately in the future, without her needing to worry further.

"Senior Brother Xie, is this what you meant by ensuring an exceptionally thrilling battle of magical techniques that will feast our eyes?"

People around the stage gradually disperse, the eagerly anticipating True Martial Immortal Sect cultivators puzzlingly ask Xie Jingshan.

Before coming, Xie Jingshan had boasted about Shen Huaxi’s prowess, assuring them of an intense battle that they must cheer loudly for Shen Huaxi during it.

And then...just this?

Xie Jingshan feels guilty but doesn’t admit it, holding his head up high and says, "Isn’t this exciting? Such high-level, high-standard intellectual stratagems, and you find them unimpressive? Your cultivation realms are still lacking!"

Xie Jingshan continues with flattery.

"...Enough, follow me, let’s check on Li Shen Zhi!"

At that time, after gaining Shen Huaxi’s promise, Xingchou’s objective is met, having no nostalgia for the Qingyun Conference.

Xingchou immediately heads to the ring-shaped mountain range at the Qingyun Realm’s outskirts to find a transmission array to depart, unaware that she is being watched, a black mist following her closely. Even though the place is filled with High-Level Cultivators, no one notices...
