"Yu Jiao" heard the cry of "Penglai Saintess" and gave a wry smile.
He murmured,
"Don't you understand yet? I've never blamed you. I came back this time simply, simply... to see you one last time!"
As he spoke, "Yu Jiao" gazed deeply at "Penglai Saintess."
That gaze was incredibly affectionate!
It was as if an eternity passed in a single glance, or the seas turned to mulberry fields!
"Yu Jiao's" deep affection moved everyone present, especially the female disciples with their "girlish hearts," who were all immensely excited.
"Wow, so affectionate, so romantic!"
"To seek a priceless treasure, it's hard to find a lover with such devotion!"
"I suddenly have a bold idea, if His Highness the Saintess and Yu Jiao were together, wouldn't that be a perfect ending..."
Well, that's indeed a bold idea, but please don't think of it again next time!
Amidst the crowd's "whispers and discussions," someone couldn't stand it any longer.
It was the Penglai Saintess's Dao companion, the sect master of the Penglai Sword Sect, "Yu Hua Jian Xian."
"Yu Hua Jian Xian's" face turned ashen. He stared coldly at "Yu Jiao" and roared,
"Yu Jiao, you don't need to put on such an act. If you dare to harm a single hair on my son Tian Kong's head today, I will tear you to shreds!"
Facing "Yu Hua Jian Xian's" threat, "Yu Jiao" appeared disdainful.
He let out a cold snort, too lazy to even glance at "Yu Hua Jian Xian" again.
However, when "Yu Jiao's" gaze fell upon the anxious and heartbroken "Penglai Saintess," his previously icy eyes softened.
He sighed deeply and withdrew his sword technique.
The "green sword rainbow" immediately extinguished.
"Yu Jiao's" voice, calm and collected, rang out.
"Youngster, you have won this round!"
Ling Wei Feng showed no hint of excitement upon hearing this.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at "Yu Jiao" opposite him, and said in a deep voice.
"When I advance to the Nascent Soul realm, I will challenge you again!"
In Ling Wei Feng's opinion, this victory was not earned honorably.
As a "Peerless Sword Immortal," Ling Wei Feng was extremely sensitive to auras.
Just now, he could clearly sense that "Yu Jiao" was about to unleash a "super sword dao divine ability."
Once activated, that "sword dao divine ability" would slay gods and buddhas alike.
Even if Ling Wei Feng possessed the three acquired spiritual treasures, the "Qing Yuan Immortal Swords," and even if he activated them to form the "Three Talents Sword Formation," it would have been in vain.
He would have been instantly annihilated!
He and "Kong Xu Gongzi" would have been instantly killed!
Now, the reason "Yu Jiao" had abandoned his attack and voluntarily conceded was entirely due to "Penglai Saintess's" plea.
This feeling made Ling Wei Feng very displeased!
As a "Peerless Sword Cultivator," how could he achieve victory through such means?
He couldn't tolerate it!
Absolutely couldn't tolerate it!
Ling Wei Feng immediately issued a challenge to "Yu Jiao"!
He would come to challenge "Yu Jiao" as soon as he advanced to the "Nascent Soul realm."
Ling Wei Feng was confident that by the time he reached the "Nascent Soul realm," his "sword dao" would have advanced further, allowing him to defeat "Yu Jiao's" "green sword rainbow" with full honor.
"Yu Jiao" greatly admired Ling Wei Feng's backbone!
This was the pride and integrity a "Peerless Sword Cultivator" should possess!
"Yu Jiao," with a rare, gentle smile that hadn't been seen in a thousand years, even nodded encouragingly at Ling Wei Feng.
"Good, very good, I'll be waiting for you!"
The great battle came to an end.
The "Holy Son Competition" of the Penglai Sword Sect was essentially concluded.
Next was the announcement that "Kong Xu Shengzi" had won and would serve as the "Penglai Holy Son"!
At this moment, a gleam flashed in "Kong Xu Shengzi's" eyes.
Heh, his "real battle" was just beginning.
"Kong Xu Shengzi" intended to stir up trouble!
His gaze shifted to Ling Wei Feng beside him.
"Brother Ling..."
"Kong Xu Shengzi" murmured in his heart.
"Allow me to fight for you next!"
At this moment, a "Grand Elder of the Penglai Sword Sect" stepped forward and said to everyone with a smile.
"It is now my great honor to announce that Kong Xu Shengzi has emerged victorious and will serve as..."
"I object!"
"Kong Xu Shengzi" jumped out and objected.
"I object to serving as the Penglai Holy Son!"
What the hell!
As soon as these words were uttered, it was as if a "nuclear bomb" had been dropped into the crowd!
Boom!
The earth shook, and the sky fell!
Everyone was so shocked by the news that they were "dumbfounded," finding it hard to believe their ears.
What, what did I just hear?
"Kong Xu Shengzi" actually objected to serving as the "Penglai Holy Son."
This, this is too outrageous!
Why would he object?
As if sensing everyone's doubts, "Kong Xu Shengzi" continued,
"As everyone can see, in these ten or so arena matches, I didn't even lift a finger. It was Brother Ling who, single-handedly, defeated all the prospective Holy Sons. Therefore... Brother Ling is the one truly qualified to be the Penglai Holy Son!"
"Kong Xu Shengzi" shouted loudly.
"I propose that Ling Wei Feng be appointed as the Penglai Holy Son!"
This...
Although "Kong Xu Shengzi" made a very reasonable argument.
Ling Wei Feng, whether in terms of his "sword dao talent" or his actual strength, was indeed qualified to be the "Penglai Holy Son."
Yes, and coupled with Ling Wei Feng's three acquired spiritual treasures, the "Qing Yuan Immortal Swords," he was even more qualified to be the "Penglai Holy Son."
However, there was a small problem.
Ling Wei Feng was not a cultivator of the "Penglai Sword Sect" for crying out loud!
How could an "outsider" become the "Penglai Holy Son"?
This was utterly absurd!
"Kong Xu, it seems I've spoiled you too much in the past, allowing you to develop such a lawless personality today. Do you know what you are doing?"
"Yu Hua Jian Xian's" face was so dark it looked like it would drip water.
His mood was very bad, extremely bad.
First, the troublemaker "Yu Jiao" suddenly appeared.
This guy "Yu Jiao" was still harboringschemes. Just look at the names he gave to his flying sword, sword technique, and sword intent.
Jiaozi Flying Sword!
Jiaozi Sword Technique!
Jiaozi Sword Intent!
Nothing tastes better than Jiaozi, and nothing is more fun than...
What the hell was this scoundrel up to?
When "Yu Hua Jian Xian" thought of the deeply affectionate tone "Yu Jiao" had used when speaking to the "Penglai Saintess" earlier, his thirty-meter killing intent sword was itching to leap out and lop off "Yu Jiao's" head.
And now, what angered "Yu Hua Jian Xian" even more was that "Kong Xu Shengzi" was actually trying to give away the "Holy Son position" that was within his grasp.
Was this guy sick in the head?
Did he think the "Holy Son position" was a pear, and he was "Kong Rong" yielding the pear!
Stop this nonsense!
This kind of thing was absolutely impossible!
The "Penglai Holy Son" absolutely could not be held by an outsider.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
