Just for Sparring
Chapter 275 Just for Sparring
Sunlight pierced through the distant mountain peaks and shone on Sun Moxing. He looked up and found the sunlight somewhat dazzling.
Sun Moxing's mood did not improve with the appearance of the rising sun; he still felt trapped.
He had thought that by coming to the Scripture Pavilion he could explore its Daoist teachings, but it turned out that there were cultivators at the Spiritual Consciousness Realm inside, so he didn't dare to go in at all.
He doesn't even have time to watch the martial arts tournament, let alone investigate Qingxiao Sect's intelligence.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Why was he assigned to this place as soon as he arrived?
And why are the Spirit Realm cultivators in the Scripture Pavilion staying there and not leaving?
Could Zhao Zhen be deliberately targeting him?
This wasn't the first time Sun Moxing had infiltrated a cultivation sect. He always managed to escape unscathed, relying on his intuition. If things went wrong, he would slip away.
"Alright, let's find an opportunity to leave. Let's go north and take a look first, then come back to gather intelligence."
Sun Moxing thought to himself that he would have to pass through Qingxiao Sect to get back to Ziyang Island anyway.
Although the martial arts tournament is still ongoing, a great many disciples come to the Scripture Pavilion every day. There are quite a few outer disciples like Sun Moxing who are guarding the area. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to steal the secret manual from the Scripture Pavilion.
Having made his decision, Sun Moxing felt relieved and resumed his previous mindset, observing the disciples coming and going.
Staying here made Sun Moxing feel that time was passing quickly.
As evening approached, a group of disciples finally came to relieve them.
He descended the mountain chatting and laughing with his fellow disciples. This was just a rotation, and he couldn't get rid of this job for the time being. Unlike him, the other disciples were very satisfied with this job. As long as they could endure until the end of the martial arts competition, they would all receive generous rewards, including the most important Dao opportunity of Qingxiao Sect.
As they walked down the mountain path of Qingxiao Mountain, they chatted and laughed, all filled with beautiful dreams for the future.
Sudden.
A group of female disciples arrived below, attracting the attention of Sun Moxing's fellow disciples.
These female disciples were all outstanding in temperament, and their laughter and chatter were quite loud. The one leading them was Yun Cai.
Yun Cai walked at the front without saying a word; her cold face made her seem extremely difficult to deal with.
These female disciples were the women who came from Pancheng with Yun Cai. After many years of training, they had formed a small team with Yun Cai as the core, and were distributed in various halls.
Yun Cai's gaze was suddenly drawn to a group of disciples walking up the mountain. She looked at Sun Moxing and frowned.
Sun Moxing noticed Yun Cai's gaze, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He hadn't witnessed Yun Cai's combat skills yet and didn't know that this woman was the most popular genius in the sect recently.
The other disciples in the same academy were also like this. They were transferred to the Scripture Pavilion as soon as they entered the academy and had not witnessed many battles, so naturally they had never seen clouds.
Faced with this group of female disciples who possessed a formidable aura, Sun Moxing and the others instinctively shut their mouths and stopped talking.
When the two sides were about to meet, Sun Moxing and the others chose to give way.
Yun Cai stopped in front of Sun Moxing and glanced at him. This glance made his heart skip a beat, and he felt as if he had been seen through.
This woman's cultivation level is quite high!
Sun Moxing immediately looked away. He was confident in his ability to conceal his aura. Even the Spiritual Realm cultivators in the Scripture Pavilion hadn't noticed him, so it was impossible for a Nourishing Yuan Realm cultivator to see through him.
However, Yun Cai's voice came: "Come with me."
Upon hearing this, Sun Moxing looked up at her in astonishment, and the other disciples in the same courtyard were also stunned.
"Yun Cai, do you know him?" a female disciple asked curiously.
Clouds!
This name made Sun Moxing and the others turn pale. Recently, they have been hearing the name Yun Cai all the time. Her popularity has surpassed that of Zhao Zhen and Hu Yan, and more and more people believe that she is the number one genius of Qingxiao Sect.
Yun Cai said, "I don't know him. I want to ask him something."
Upon hearing this, the female disciples nodded and all turned their gazes to Sun Moxing.
Although Yun Cai has no real power, she is a disciple personally taught by the sect leader. If she wants to ask a question to a disciple, who would dare to stop her?
The disciples who lived in the same courtyard as Sun Moxing were all intimidated by their aura and dared not speak up for Sun Moxing.
"Are you coming or not?" Yun Cai asked again, threatening Sun Moxing with her eyes.
Sun Moxing felt uneasy, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
He then followed Yun Cai towards the nearby woods, while the female disciples stayed behind to wait. Sun Moxing's fellow disciples were also quite loyal and did not leave, but waited in the same spot as well.
Sun Moxing followed behind Yun Cai, feeling uneasy, unsure of why she wanted to see him.
If he really saw through his cultivation level, how would he explain it?
He tried to calm himself down.
This is, after all, the Qingxiao Sect. He absolutely cannot make a move unless absolutely necessary.
After arriving at a deserted forest, Yun Cai turned around, looked at Sun Moxing, and said, "Ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, tell me, what is your background?"
Sun Moxing's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected that the other party had actually seen through his cultivation level.
"What? The ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm?" Sun Moxing was still unwilling to give up.
Yun Cai said indifferently, "You probably don't want to make a big fuss, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Moxing knew he had to change his strategy.
He took a deep breath and said, "I have no ill intentions. I am a rogue cultivator who wants to settle down here. I have been a disciple of Qingxiao Sect for several months and I have not done anything out of line. You can ask the other disciples. During this time, I have been guarding outside the Scripture Pavilion."
Yun Cai didn't question him after hearing this, but stared intently at him and said, "A friendly spar?" "What?"
Sun Moxing was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that the other party had come to challenge him to a duel.
He frowned and asked, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Yun Cai said, "Don't worry, even if things get out of hand and attract other people, I will speak up for you."
Sun Moxing felt displeased looking into the other person's eyes; it was as if the other person was eyeing prey.
He had heard of Yun Cai, who was at the eighth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm and was only twenty-five years old.
Knowing that he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm, how dare he challenge him?
Those despicable juniors from Qingxiao Sect!
Sun Moxing asked in a deep voice, "If you lose, you won't be angry and embarrassed, will you?"
Yun Cai raised an eyebrow and said, "I can't possibly lose."
These words infuriated Sun Moxing.
The cultivators of Kyushu are truly ignorant. Don't they know that the gap between their cultivation levels is insurmountable?
"Then let's go!"
Sun Moxing raised his hand, took out a jade fan, and his aura suddenly changed. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the forest and fell on him. The aura of the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm was like a raging flame.
Yun Cai's eyes turned silver-blue, and as soon as the change occurred, she pounced on Sun Moxing.
……
The night is getting darker.
Li Qingqiu walked into Lingxiao Courtyard and saw Zhang Yuchun, Jiang Zhaoxia, Li Dongyue, and Li Sifeng sitting around a long table talking.
"Senior Brother, you've finally arrived. A mysterious cultivator at the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm has infiltrated the sect and has been discovered by Yun Cai. What do you think we should do?" Li Dongyue asked Li Qingqiu.
Zhang Yuchun wore a smile on his face, unusually not worried about such things.
Jiang Zhaoxia frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
Li Sifeng fiddled with the wine gourd, his gaze following Li Qingqiu.
Li Qingqiu sat down next to Li Dongyue and asked, "What happened? Explain yourself."
I will recount what happened just before dusk in the winter month.
Yun Cai bumped into Sun Moxing and challenged him to a duel. In the end, Yun Cai severely injured Sun Moxing. The commotion from their fight was so great that it alerted the other disciples. After learning that Sun Moxing was a rogue cultivator at the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, the sect's higher-ups were alarmed, which is why Zhang Yuchun and the other three gathered here.
"Where is that person now?" Li Qingqiu asked.
Zhang Yuchun replied, "We sent him back to the courtyard where he used to live. Yun Cai wouldn't let us arrest him, so we could only send people to guard that courtyard."
Li Qingqiu nodded and said, "Since Yun Cai agreed to it, then he should keep his promise. Has this rogue cultivator done anything out of line since he entered the sect?"
Zhang Yuchun shook his head and said, "No, it was just a coincidence that he was transferred to the Scripture Pavilion. With Zhao Zhen in charge there, he won't have a chance to cause trouble. We can observe him for a while longer."
Back then, Shen Yue came to challenge Li Qingqiu, and only joined Qingxiao Sect after being defeated. With many precedents, Zhang Yuchun also wanted to win over any rogue cultivators at the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm.
Cultivating a cultivator at the ninth level of the Nourishing Essence Realm is no easy task.
Li Qingqiu knew that Sun Moxing was a spy from another cultivation sect. If Sun Moxing hadn't had the fate of being "fickle," he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.
It's good that Sun Moxing's whereabouts have been exposed now, so that others can handle this matter.
“I don’t think he could be a rogue cultivator. How could a rogue cultivator be so powerful?” Li Qingqiu said.
Zhang Yuchun nodded; he thought so too, and he was considering how to win over Sun Moxing.
Jiang Zhaoxia looked at Li Qingqiu and said, "Senior Brother, once Yun Cai reaches the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, could we have her spar with me?"
Upon learning that Yun Cai had defeated a cultivator at the ninth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm with only the eighth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm cultivation, Jiang Zhaoxia's opinion of Yun Cai completely changed.
The second one, Xu Ning, has arrived!
He can't catch up with Xu Ning, so he can't be surpassed by a second woman, can he?
Li Qingqiu nodded with a smile and said, "She must be very happy."
Although he had full confidence and expectations for Yun Cai, her performance this year still surprised him.
It seems that ever since Yun Cai started studying the Hunyuan Scripture, he has experienced an unprecedented surge in strength.
"It seems the winner of this martial arts tournament has already been decided," Zhang Yuchun said with a smile, as he had a good impression of Yun Cai.
Yun Cai is very similar to Xu Ning. She only obeys Li Qingqiu and does not hold any power. Zhang Yuchun hopes that there will be more talented disciples like her, so that the power of the sect leader can be consolidated and the power of the sect's higher-ups can be maintained.
Not everyone can regard power as dirt. The higher one's talent, the more likely one's ambition will grow. There are very few genius disciples like Xu Ning and Yun Cai in the sect.
Li Sifeng felt a mix of emotions when he thought of his two sons praising Yun Cai. He had witnessed Yun Cai's magical prowess before and had to admit that he was no match for her.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be surpassed by someone younger.
at the same time.
Sun Moxing lay on the bed, gazing at the bright moon outside the window. He gritted his teeth, and two lines of tears streamed down his face.
