Chapter 188 Reincarnation (1/2)

The battle continued on for around ten minutes, and those who were watching outside of the Qing Xuan Hall were dazed.

Bai Suhuan was indeed capable, but what was out of their expectation was Shen Lian's ability to keep up with him.

Moreover, Shen Lian had only been cultivating for such a short period of time. On the other hand, Bai Suhuan had been cultivating for a very long period of time. Some of them could not help but think that perhaps Shen Lian could break through the Absurd State, cultivate his Primordial Spirit, and become one of the land immortals before he reached one hundred years old.

The last person to attain something like that was Lu Jiuyuan.

It was not saying that Shen Lian was comparable to Lu Jiuyuan. However, if one were to talk about the speed of cultivation and techniques of supernatural powers, Lu Jiuyuan would probably be around Shen Lian's level when he was at his age.

Bai Suhuan could not defeat Shen Lian within a short period of time, and now he was caught in a dilemma. He wondered if he should give it his all. At this moment, the faraway sky was frosty. Half of the sky was frozen.

The cold air blew past, and the Qi of heaven and earth was locked in. Shen Lian and Bai Suhuan had no choice but to stop.

Under the sky full of frost, a lady walked over with a sword in her hand.

She was dressed in green Daoist clothing and was gorgeous. She seemed proud as she walked over slowly. Shen Lian was graceful, but this lady was beyond that. Her grace and elegance could never be captured by a painting.

The sunlight fell into the frost and took on different colors. The beautiful scene was merely a backdrop for the lady in green Daoist robe.

The lady in green was the other side of Ziling Fairy, Qing Xiao.

Qing Xiao's eyes were cold, and her gaze was like dots of icy stars. Bai Suhuan shivered inside as he was met with her gaze.

Bai Suhuan was of the same generation as Qing Xiao. However, Qing Xiao had attained Dao twice, but he had not even attained immortality. If there was anyone that he did not want to see the most, it would be Qing Xiao.

Moreover, Qing Xiao was not as nice as Ziling Fairy. She had a bad temper and never held back whenever she had to fight.

Shen Lian bowed respectfully as he said, ”Dear founding master.”

Qing Xiao looked at Shen Lian and nodded in response. ”Bai Suhuan, why are you fighting with Shen Lian. If you have the guts, come and try my long sword out,” she said coldly.

Bai Suhuan held back his anger. ”Shen Lian is going to be the next chief. I am afraid that his lack of seniority would be the cause of contention, which was why I volunteered to test him out in front of everyone in order to ease everyone's concern,” he replied lightly.

”Seniority does not play a role in the cultivation of Dao, it's the matter of one's capability to reach the pinnacle first. Even if they were blind, could you not tell that Shen Lian was a hundred time stronger than the idiots?” Qing Xiao smiled coldly.

After that, Qing Xiao stood in the void with her sword in her hand. ”Anyone who is not happy with Shen Lian being the chief can head up here for a battle against him. If he cannot sort you out within three moves, he might as well not be the chief,” she spoke to the cultivators below.

Even though she was far up in the sky, but her icy gaze gave everyone shiver. Moreover, they had seen the battle between Shen Lian and Bai Suhuan. If there was anyone who stood a chance against Shen Lian, it would be the likes of the Drunken Daoist and Ge Yuan.

However, these few people were ignoring all the stare directed at them. Moreover, they had always agreed to Shen Lian being the next chief anyway.

At this moment, Bai Suhuan had returned to his own Daoist courtyard back at the Zifu Peak. He could not stay on any longer due to his failure to defeat Shen Lian after the prolonged battle, and Qing Xiao's presence was another factor too.

Zhang Ruoxu was sitting on the stone couch, and Qing Xiao had created a small couch for herself. She hugged her sword with her eyes closed.

The chief enjoyed the highest position in Qing Xuan, and this was a rule set by the Grandmaster Yuanqing. Even if she had attained the status of a land immortal again, she merely enjoyed the superior status and was freed from restraints.
