Countless spiritual lights enveloped jade slips descending from the sky. Everyone subconsciously reached out to catch them, then probed their divine senses into them.
Upon seeing this, they were all stunned.
This is…
Bai Xinlian and Wang Yang also received jade slips. After reading them, their faces revealed expressions of extreme joy.
Bai Xinlian couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahaha, Qiu Yuanfeng, this is the evidence you wanted!"
Qiu Yuanfeng ignored Bai Xinlian, his eyes fixed on Xu Yi in the back row, and said coldly, "It's you."
"It is me," Xu Yi smiled slightly.
On the red seats, Qiu Tianying's expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He accidentally knocked over a teacup on the table, "Su, Su Mei'er!"
No, it should be Xu Yi!
Why did she come here!
Didn't his father say he had already reached an agreement with Xu Yi before!
After a moment of panic, Qiu Tianying gradually calmed down, his eyes turning sinister.
Why should he be afraid? This was his territory, and Xu Yi had walked right into it to court death.
Zhang Tao was now dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Xu Yi, as if he had never known her before.
Didn't Senior's surname Su? Why did Alliance Leader Qiu call her Xu Yi?
The atmosphere between them didn't seem good either, what was going on?
"Xu Yi? Why does this name sound familiar?"
"Coincidentally, I also find it somewhat familiar."
"Xu Yi? Xu Yi! I remember now! Wasn't the top-ranked disciple among the Void Leaving realm at the sect competition fifty years ago also named Xu Yi!"
"So it's her. Wasn't she a disciple of the Xuanji Sect? Why did she come here to confront the Zhentian Alliance? Does this represent the Xuanji Sect's intentions?"
"..."
Some cultivators in the audience who had participated in the sect competition back then recognized Xu Yi and started discussing.
Unlike Wang Yang and Bai Xinlian, Xu Yi had the backing of the massive Xuanji Sect, giving her the confidence to challenge the Zhentian Alliance. Coupled with her previous action of scattering jade slips wildly, it was difficult not to suspect that she was prepared.
Everyone couldn't help but overthink, did Xu Yi's actions also represent the Xuanji Sect's intentions?
In that case, they couldn't easily take sides.
They couldn't afford to offend the Zhentian Alliance, and they couldn't afford to offend the Xuanji Sect even more.
"Xu Yi, you want to be an enemy of my Zhentian Alliance? Why?"
Qiu Yuanfeng had never calculated that the one who would come to cause trouble in the end would be Xu Yi.
He subtly spread his divine sense, trying to search for other Xuanji Sect members ambushing nearby, his mood heavy.
"Qiu Yuanfeng, the Zhentian Alliance is not surnamed Qiu, and it should not be your absolute domain. This is not only my intention, but also my teacher's intention," Xu Yi said solemnly.
"Who is your teacher? True Person Jiugong?"
"No, his name is Yuwen Yuan, and he is your old acquaintance."
"It's him." Qiu Yuanfeng's face twitched violently, then he sneered, "Then why doesn't he appear in person? Is he afraid of remembering the scene where I stepped on him?"
He was an old acquaintance of Yuwen Yuan. They had a feud due to incompatibility of personalities, and later agreed to a duel. He had won that duel, although not gloriously, but he only cared about the outcome.
Since then, Yuwen Yuan had disappeared. He thought the other party had long since died in some remote mountain forest, but unexpectedly, he was still alive and had become Xu Yi's teacher.
If weeds are not removed, they will grow again with the spring breeze.
He was too soft-hearted in his early years and didn't resolve the potential trouble. Now, it had indeed brought trouble.
"Teacher Yuwen is not convenient to appear, so he entrusted me to deliver his message. He believes that the position of the Zhentian Alliance Leader should be held by someone virtuous, and it's time for a change." Xu Yi smiled and looked at Bai Xinlian, "Deputy Alliance Leader Bai is very good."
Bai Xinlian nodded her head with dignity, a smile on her lips.
"Heh, Yuwen Yuan is not a member of our Zhentian Alliance, so he has no right to make decisions for the Zhentian Alliance. Xu Yi, you are here to cause trouble today. I will capture you first, and then deal with Yuwen Yuan."
Qiu Yuanfeng completely lost his patience. He formed a hand seal and flicked his fingers, sending out a golden rune like lightning.
"Qiu Yuanfeng!"
Bai Xinlian shouted angrily and raised her arm to block, but was stopped by a black shadow in front of her.
Her eyes widened in rage, "Tan Long! Get out of the way!"
Tan Long looked apologetic but shook his head firmly, "My mission is to stop you."
"Good! Good! Good!" Bai Xinlian said "good" three times in a row, then no longer hesitated. She flipped her hand, took out a whisk from her sleeve, and fiercely swept it towards Tan Long's face.
The soft silver threads on the whisk stood on end with the infusion of spiritual power, flashing with an eerie silver light. It was not difficult to imagine the consequences if this attack landed on his face.
As Bai Xinlian's long-term cultivation companion, Tan Long naturally understood the weight of this blow. He immediately took down the bead chain in his hand to block.
Both of them understood each other's moves, and for a moment, they fought fiercely, evenly matched.
The others did not want to get involved in their affairs. While avoiding them, they shifted their attention to Xu Yi.
In this situation, ordinary formation cultivators dared not intervene, fearing collateral damage. Influential formation cultivators were afraid of taking the wrong side and dared not make a move, observing the situation from the sidelines.
Xu Yi neither dodged nor evaded, her gaze like lightning, and a surging feeling in her chest.
Combat always made people's blood boil.
She took out the items prepared in her storage ring, a handful of round particles the size of soybeans, and threw them out fiercely.
As the round particles left her hand, they twisted and exploded in mid-air. Then, under the stunned gazes of everyone, they transformed into soldiers clad in golden armor, revealing only a pair of golden pupils.
Those soldiers, some holding swords, some holding spears, some carrying crossbows, shifted their forms and finally arranged themselves into an offensive and defensive formation, advancing.
Each soldier's cultivation base was at the early stage of Tribulation Crossing. The convergence of dozens of soldiers created a sky-high aura.
The rune that Qiu Yuanfeng had sent out was shattered by their exposed aura before it could even get close.
Bang! Bang!
The synchronized marching steps were like heavy blows on everyone's hearts, causing their hearts to beat uncontrollably.
"What, what divine ability is this?"
"Too powerful."
"This move is somewhat similar to the legendary immortal art, scattering beans into soldiers!"
Xu Yi met Qiu Yuanfeng's displeased gaze, her admiration for Teacher Yuwen reaching a new height.
This move was indeed called Scattering Beans into Soldiers, which Yuwen Yuan had improved based on the legendary immortal arts.
Each round particle was sealed with a soldier at the early stage of Tribulation Crossing.
These soldiers were not humans, but puppets refined by Yuwen Yuan.
His puppets were different from the puppets Xu Yi had encountered in the Abandoned City Secret Realm before.
The puppets in the secret realm could move autonomously and possessed a certain degree of consciousness, whereas these puppets were completely controlled by Xu Yi. Moreover, they had only one lifespan. They were what Yuwen Yuan had accumulated over many years and had specifically prepared to deal with Qiu Yuanfeng.
Qiu Yuanfeng's brow furrowed deeply.
He had always known that Yuwen Yuan's talent in formations surpassed his, but he had not expected him to be able to create divine soldiers with such power.
Individually, these golden armored soldiers were no match for him, but together, they could put him under considerable pressure.
The most crucial point was that the one creating this situation was not Yuwen Yuan, but Xu Yi.
This meant that this divine ability had no limitations; whoever possessed these soldiers could become their master.
Qiu Yuanfeng couldn't help but feel jealousy towards Yuwen Yuan.
This feeling was both strange and familiar, causing him to lower his face once again.
