Chapter 30
Determining Life and Death, Resolving Cause and Effect
On the night he accepted the challenge, Fang Wang sneaked into the Li residence. Using his Silent Natural Skill and Shadowless Step, he moved with uncanny speed, searching for the girl in green. βπ β βΕΔ€ΗΛ£.Οππ βπ³
Before long, Fang Wang found the house where the girl in green lived. After receiving a challenge from the girl in white, Li Honggang removed the guards from the house, and no one even patrolled the Li residence anymore.
Fang Wang stood by the window and looked through the crack. The girl in green was sitting cross-legged on the bed and did not look like she had suffered.
Fang Wang immediately transmitted his voice to her: "Miss Qing, are you alright? Don't speak, just nod or shake your head."
Upon hearing this, the girl in green trembled and nodded in agreement.
"Are you poisoned?"
The girl in blue shook her head.
Fang Wang scanned the house with his divine sense and, after confirming that there was no danger, he told the girl in blue to follow him.
As soon as the girl in green stepped out of the room, he picked her up and quickly left. He used his agility to avoid being discovered by the people of the Li family. Li Honggang had already gone into seclusion and was not paying attention to the situation outside.
Under the cover of night, Fang Wang led the girl in green away from Haixia City, escorting her for a hundred miles before stopping and saying, "You can go back on your own now."
The girl in green landed and asked in surprise, "Aren't you going back? Do you really intend to accept the challenge?"
This afternoon, Li Honggang found her and told her that Bai Yi Jinghong had accepted the challenge, which made her worry all day. When Fang Wang found her, she thought the two of them could escape directly, but unexpectedly Fang Wang wanted to go back.
"Yes, only after saving you can I face Li Honggang without pressure," Fang Wang replied.
The journey was smooth, with no pursuers from the Li family, which shows that Li Honggang is indeed upright and honorable. In that case, he should accept the challenge.
Perhaps, the fact that he was able to rescue the girl in blue so easily was already with Li Honggang's tacit approval.
"But... Li Honggang is a great cultivator at the Spirit Pill Realm, why compete with him?" the girl in green asked anxiously. She had heard Fang Hanyu say that Fang Wang had joined the Taiyuan Sect at the same time as him.
Fang Wang laughed and said, "Since we have accepted the challenge, how can we not fight? Everyone knows that Bai Yi Jinghong is a disciple of Taiyuan Sect. I no longer represent myself, but Taiyuan Sect."
Since he wants to compete with Lu Yuanjun for the position of the eldest disciple, Fang Wang must gain prestige. The simplest way to gain prestige is through a series of battle achievements!
Others may not know who Bai Yi Jing Hong is, but Fang Wang believes that Guang Qiu Xian and Yang Yuan Zi certainly do.

Fang Wang was very confident!
This is no longer a battle of hatred, but a struggle for pride and reputation!
One day, the name "White-Clad Amazing Swan" will be associated with Fang Wang, and before that happens, he wants to make the name "White-Clad Amazing Swan" the object of worship for the disciples of Taiyuan Sect.
Upon hearing these words, the girl in blue fell silent.
"Miss Qing, please go back quickly, lest your people worry," Fang Wang urged.
The girl in green stamped her foot and snorted, "What 'Miss Green'? I have a name! I'm called Qing Wan'er, call me Wan'er from now on!"
With that, she turned and darted into the woods, quickly disappearing into the night.
Fang Wang smiled, didn't think much of it, and turned back to Haixia City.
β¦β¦
Twenty days is neither a long nor a short time. Fang Wang stayed in seclusion in the Gu family mansion, which made it difficult for Gu Li to disturb him.
Gradually, more and more cultivators came to Haixia City, all having heard of the battle between Baiyi Jinghong and Li Honggang.
Bai Yijing killed Li Hongshuang and became famous. Li Honggang was a cultivator at the Spirit Pill Realm, and to most low-level cultivators, he was a big shot.
A duel at the Spirit Core Realm level is a rare sight, so how could we not invite rogue cultivators and the younger generation of aristocratic families to join in the fun?
The eve of the decisive battle.
Fang Wang walked out of the house, found Gu Li, and the two sat down at the table.
"Miss Gu, after watching the battle tomorrow, please return to Taiyuan Sect. I have other matters to attend to."
"It will be a while before I can go back," Fang Wang said.
He guessed that Gu Li was after him, and even if it was just wishful thinking on his part, he needed to make things clear to prevent Gu Li from waiting in vain.
Gu Li frowned and asked, "Is it because of your clansman? He's seriously injured?"
"Yes, you'll need to rest for several months."
"Do you need my help?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Gu. There's no need for you to trouble yourself. He is already recovering, but it's not convenient to disclose where he is."
Fang Wang looked apologetic. The Fang family had not yet reached the Fang realm and had not grown up, so he really dared not invite Gu Li into the Fang realm.

Gu Li asked softly, "Then you must win. I'll be watching you."
Fang Wang laughed and said, "Of course, I've never lost before."
Inside the room, candlelight flickered, and outside the window, the bright moon hung high. Gu Li looked at Fang Wang's smile, her eyes becoming hazy. For some reason, she thought Fang Wang's smile was so beautiful.
Fang Wang was very curious about the Jihao Sect, so he asked Gu Li about its history. Gu Li did not hide anything and told him everything she knew.
That night, the two chatted happily, and Gu Li felt closer to him.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
As the sun rose and the first rays of dawn swept across Haixia City, the city was already bustling with activity.
Because today, the white-clad beauty will come to challenge Li Honggang!
More and more cultivators rushed to the south gate early, afraid of missing the show.
With less than half an hour left until noon, the area in front of the south gate and on the city wall was packed with people. Gu Li also arrived. She stood on the city wall, her face veiled, her beautiful eyes fixed on a figure below.
Li Honggang!
The cultivator at the Spirit Pill Realm sat cross-legged on the hilt of his sword, which stood upright on the ground. Although he remained motionless, an aura of power was gathering and steadily increasing.
"What terrifying sword intent!"
"Could this be the legendary Blazing Sun Killing Blade from the Crimson Sun Cult?"
"I never imagined that after so many years away from the Crimson Sun Sect, Li Honggang's sword intent would have grown to such an extent."
"I wonder if the stunning beauty in white will come."
The cultivators were buzzing with discussion. Li Honggang's stance clearly indicated he was ready to fight to the death, making the onlookers even more eager for the upcoming battle.
A commotion came from behind Gu Li. She turned her head and saw a burly old man walking up the city wall surrounded by a group of cultivators. The man was wearing a black robe and a purple crown. His left hand was behind his waist, and his right hand was playing with two iron balls, from which there was a faint flash of electricity.
Tang Chengfeng, Lord of Haixia City!
Upon seeing him appear, many cultivators around him bowed and paid their respects, their faces showing eagerness and flattery.
Gu Li silently stepped back, distancing herself from Tang Chengfeng.
Tang Chengfeng walked to the edge of the city wall, looked down at Li Honggang, and smiled, saying, "It seems that Li Honggang is going to fight to the death. I'm quite impressed with him. The Li family lives up to their thousand-year reputation."
A woman in white standing nearby asked curiously, "Father, do you think he can win?"
"I have no idea, after all, I have never seen the white-clad beauty."
Tang Chengfeng sighed, saying that he, like the cultivators around him, was most curious about the white-robed beauty.
The Thirty-Two Swords of Astounding Beauty...
Taiyuan Sect first produced Lu Yuanjun, and now another one, Bai Yi Jinghong, has emerged. Its resurgence is unstoppable!
Tang Chengfeng felt that the upcoming battle would be a turning point for the cultivation world, so he came to watch it in person.
The cultivators on the city walls and in front of the city gates were all discussing the white-robed beauty and speculating about her identity, with the name Lu Yuanjun being mentioned many times.
Many people believe that the stunning figure in white is Lu Yuanjun!
Time passed by, second by second.
Noon arrived quickly!
Li Honggang, who was sitting cross-legged on the hilt of his sword, suddenly opened his eyes, while Tang Chengfeng on the city wall squinted. The two of them looked at the horizon at the same time.
call out--
A whooshing sound came from the air, and thousands of cultivators around the south gate turned to look. Some even flew up on their swords to watch the battle.
A white rainbow appeared from the horizon, moving at great speed, and quickly stopped in mid-air a hundred feet away from the south gate. Everyone's eyes were on the white rainbow.
As the white light faded, a figure in flowing white robes appeared in the sunlight. He was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing on a flying sword and wearing a bamboo hat, looking like a banished immortal.
"A stunning sight in white!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and the vast majority of cultivators stared intently at the white-clad figure.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the woman in white slowly raised her head, revealing a fox mask beneath her bamboo hat, making her even more mysterious.
The visitor was none other than Fang Wang!
Fang Wang slowly drew the Azure Lord Sword with his right hand, stood proudly in mid-air, looked down at Li Honggang, and said, "Shall we settle this feud with one battle?"
Li Honggang slowly rose, standing on the hilt of his sword, his robe billowing violently. He raised his eyes to stare at Fang Wang and said coldly, "To decide life and death, to settle karma!"
