As the bell for the sect competition rang again, Ji Xiuzhu and her three disciples slowly walked into the Qingyun Square outside the Qingyun Sect's main hall.

She was dressed in an elegant blue gown, and her steps were light and graceful. There was a hint of the mountain breeze and the singing of birds in the forest between her steps, which made people who were a little closer to her feel relaxed and happy involuntarily.

She led the team, and her three disciples followed closely behind. Hu Yin held a long sword in his hand, his eyes determined, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.

Mo Yunyu had returned to the team at some point, looking very excited. He was playing with the red ribbon tied to the sword in his hand, as if he was ready to show his abilities at any time.

Qin Lan crossed her arms and followed Ji Xiuzhu calmly, as if the upcoming battle had nothing to do with him.

Ji Xiuzhu nodded gently, signaling the disciples to prepare to go on stage. Her voice was soft and powerful: "Huyin, I see that your swordsmanship has already reached a high level. In today's competition, you only need to show your true level and do your best. It doesn't matter if you lose, just don't hurt yourself."

Hu Yin nodded slightly, but a firm light flashed in his eyes: "Master, rest assured, I will do the same."

Mo Yunyu suddenly stood between Hu Yin and Ji Xiuzhu, pointed at himself and said, "Master, is there anything you need to tell me?"

Ji Xiuzhu heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You are already a Yuanying Great Power, what can I tell you? Just don't beat anyone to death."

When Mo Yunyu heard this, his face was filled with black lines.

Seeing this, Qin Lan laughed and said, "Hahaha, Master, just be at ease. If you say that I didn't know how to control my strength, that's fine. Second Senior Brother knows it very well and knows what to do."

Ji Xiuzhu looked at Qin Lan, the sunny boy, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. She was quite confident in these three disciples who had great potential.

She knew that today's competition was not only a contest of strength, but also an opportunity for the Shenyin Sect to reappear in the public eye. At the same time, it was also a stepping stone for her disciples to walk the right path.

After all, she didn't want to be criticized by her own disciples for their righteousness as in the book.

"Master Mo, how are you?"

The person who spoke was the leader of Qingyun Sect, Xuanye. He was dressed in a white crane robe, with gray hair, and looked like an immortal.

The man called Sect Master Mo was wearing a black and white Taoist robe with a black gourd hanging around his waist. He had a head of shaggy grey hair, making him look a little unkempt.

And this person was none other than the drunken old Taoist whom Ji Xiuzhu met outside the Hunyuan Secret Realm, and the leader of the Tianling Sect, Mo Daoa.

Mo Dao'a slumped in his seat without even lifting his eyelids, but when his eyes swept across the green figure, he sat up straight with a start, and then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

After making sure that he had not made a mistake, he raised his head and said to Xuanye, who had just ignored him, "Old Xuan, which sect is that little girl from?"

When Xuanye heard this, he thought that it was a genius from some sect who was noticed by Mo Dao'a, so he looked in the direction where his finger was pointing. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, Xuanye was petrified on the spot.

"Master Mo, out of all the geniuses, why did you choose her?"

"We just met once. I saw that the kid was quite talented, so I asked a few more questions." Mo Dao'a waved his hand, but his eyes never left Ji Xiuzhu.

"Master Mo, you don't know that the woman is the infamous Master of the Shenyin Sect."

Xuanye did not say this because he had a grudge against Ji Xiuzhu, but because he had witnessed with his own eyes the way Ji Xiuzhu dealt with his disciples.

It was exactly nine years ago. He felt a little guilty about the disciples of Shenyin Sect all flocking to his Qingyun Sect, so he planned to visit them in person and deliver some spirit stones and elixirs as compensation. After all, Shenyin Sect was an ancient sect, and all its great men had died protecting the Tianyuan Continent. It was reasonable and moral that he should take some care of them.

But who would have thought that as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ji Xiuzhu teaching a seven or eight-year-old child a lesson. He not only whipped the child, but also broke his hands and feet.

Xuanye couldn't bear to see this and planned to lend a helping hand, but Ji Xiuzhu drove Xuanye out of the Shenyin Sect on the grounds that outsiders were not allowed to interfere.

Since then, Xuanye never visited the Shenyin Sect again.

After he came back from Ji Xiuzhu, he never mentioned what he had seen in the Shenyin Sect. He didn't know how, but these things inexplicably spread to all the major sects.

When Mo Dao'a heard this, his expression froze, and when he looked at Ji Xiuzhu again, his eyes were full of disgust.

He never thought that Mo Dao'a would be so wrong.

Then he snorted coldly and said no more.

As the third bell rang, Ji Xiuzhu finished explaining everything and then flew towards the stands where the leaders of various sects belonged.

As soon as she got on the stands, she saw Mo Daoa looking at her and snorting from time to time.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu didn't take it to heart. He calmly walked around Mo Daoa and went to his own seat.

Because the Shenyin Sect is a sect left over from ancient times, it is also among the top three sects. Therefore, the position that Xuanye arranged for Ji Xiuzhu, although not the first one, was also on his left.

After Ji Xiuzhu sat down, he felt uncomfortable everywhere, so he lay down, rested his head on the left side, and draped his legs on the right side. Then he clasped his hands over his chest and closed his eyes to rest.

After hanging down, Ji Xiuzhu felt comfortable.

She felt comfortable, but to others, it was totally inappropriate!

So, those who couldn't stand it could no longer hold back.

"Sure enough, Sect Master Ji hasn't attended a big event in a long time. He is increasingly disregarding the sect's reputation."

The person who spoke was Bai Ruoqing, the leader of Fuyuan Sect, another major sect among the top three sects.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu was too lazy to even move his eyelids.

After hanging his neck to make it more comfortable, Ji Xiuzhu slowly said, "Sister, I am the leader of a shabby sect. Our sect has been in that remote place all year round. We have to maintain the survival of the sect and take care of the disciples' practice. Could it be that sister thinks that someone like me who came from a remote place has too much free time to think about pretentious things?"

After saying that, Ji Xiuzhu stretched out his hand, plucked a grape placed on his head and put it into his mouth to chew: "I am very busy, of course I am not as idle as my sister's sect, so I have plenty of time to pretend to be elegant."

Ji Xiuzhu emphasized the last few words and then kept making spitting sounds, and it was unclear whether he was spitting out grape skins or had some other meaning.

"You! You are such a vulgar bastard! No wonder you would do something so immoral!"

Bai Ruoqing didn't expect Ji Xiuzhu to talk back to her. Although she was extremely angry, she could only wave her sleeves in anger for the sake of her face.

Ji Xiuzhu naturally didn't care about these rumors. Anyway, the original owner was not a good person. Let them say whatever they want. It's other people's fault. She has no right to interfere.

Anyway, they are talking about the original owner, what does it have to do with her, Ji Xiuzhu.

Then, drums were beaten and bells rang.

Xuanye immediately stood up and prepared to start hosting the competition. Everyone in the stands stood up with him, except Ji Xiuzhu and Mo Dao'a, who remained unmoved and did not move.

When Xuanye saw this, his beard couldn't help but rise and his eyelids felt painful.

Forget about Mo Dao'a, after all, he has always been like this, but Xuanye did not expect that after so many years, Ji Xiuzhu would be so disrespectful to him in his first performance in the competition.

"Master Xuan! Why don't you kick this man out? He actually openly insults you in such an occasion!" Bai Ruoqing was instantly furious when he saw that Ji Xiuzhu was unmoved.

Xuanye felt embarrassed when he heard this. As long as he didn't say anything, the matter could be exposed by hosting the competition. He didn't expect Bai Ruoqing to bring it up openly. In an instant, it wasn't just his eyelids that hurt, but his brain.

Hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu felt that Bai Ruoqing had big breasts and no brains, so he smiled and said, "Master Xuan, let's get started. I don't mind, but it would be bad if it delayed the competition."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he moved the leg that was pressed underneath to the top and said no more.

When Xuanye heard this, he immediately understood that Ji Xiuzhu was trying to give him a way out, so he moistened his throat and then said, "Thank you for the honor of coming here. After three years, I am very pleased to see you all again. I hope you can show your previous style and go all out to the other side of victory, showing the style of the geniuses of each sect! I declare that this year's competition officially begins!"

As soon as Xuanye said this, everyone in the square was instantly excited.

"Qingyun Sect!"

"Qingyun Sect!"

"Qingyun Sect!"

……

Ji Xiuzhu listened to the shouting from the audience and found it extremely noisy, so he reached out and cleaned his ears.

Ji Xiuzhu: If you hear them shouting like that, people who don’t know would think that everyone in the audience is Qingyun Sect’s shill.

The crowd was noisy, but Xuanye raised his hand and the noise instantly returned to silence.

So Xuanye nodded and said: "Please invite representatives from each sect to the martial arts arena to draw the order of today's battle!"

After that, there was another round of noise.
