Chapter 434 After a winning streak, he re-enters the red tower.
Even now, everyone is still stunned.
It's unbelievable that Wei Yu would lose so suddenly.
Previously, Wei Yu's arrogant and domineering words had indeed infuriated people.
But no one expected that Chu Lengyu could defeat them so decisively.
This little girl, at this critical moment, was able to unleash such astonishing power, which is truly astonishing.
On the other hand, Wei Yu, as a young prodigy of the Qianlan Sect, came from a distinguished family, possessed profound cultivation, and was full of confidence. He even took the initiative to strike, yet he ended up in defeat.
This seemingly one-sided duel has taken such an unexpected turn, and Chu Lengyu's name will surely become the focus of everyone's attention.
The crowd was amazed, and the emotions in their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.
Wei Yu's defeat served as a wake-up call, reminding them that the world is vast and full of talented individuals, and that they must never be arrogant or look down on others.
Several of Wei Yu's fellow students who accompanied him also looked astonished, their bewilderment evident in their expressions.
The Heroes' Gathering was a stage specially set up by the Thousand Mist Sect. How could they allow others to usurp it and steal the limelight? That's why they came to this half of the arena to personally break their winning streak and let those rogue cultivators and cultivators from lower-level sects witness the extraordinary strength of the Thousand Mist Sect disciples.
The top ten arenas have already been reserved, so these people shouldn't have any unrealistic ideas.
Trying to take advantage of the sect? They're not worthy.
They were well aware of Wei Yu's abilities and knew he was no ordinary person, so they had always fawned over him and were willing to serve him faithfully over the years.
However, today, the female disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, with just one ordinary move, made Wei Yu unable to defend himself and was defeated instantly. Moreover, judging from her right hand, it seemed that she had suffered a serious injury and was in great pain.
Today, the young princess of the Wei family has personally come here, which undoubtedly brings shame to the Wei family.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly have a chance to turn things around?
The group exchanged glances, showing no intention of helping Wei Yu. Instead, they silently retreated to a distance, as if the person on the stage was a complete stranger to them and had no connection whatsoever.
The surrounding audience also sighed with emotion, looking at the wounded figure, their hearts filled with感慨 (gǎnkǎi - mixed feelings of sorrow and regret).
Wei Yu, who was once incredibly successful, has now fallen to such a state; how can one not feel a sense of lament?
Below the arena, all was silent. Although the crowd wanted to cheer for Chu Lengyu's brilliant performance, they dared not act recklessly because of Wei Yu's seemingly insane state.
Suddenly, the members of the Hundred Swords Pavilion began to applaud.
"Clap clap clap!"
The applause was crisp and loud, as if it struck someone's heart directly, or as if it slapped someone hard on the cheek.
Wei Yu's face turned bright red, his eyes wide open. He wanted to say something, but the injury aggravated his injuries, causing his blood to surge and another mouthful of blood to gush out, staining his clothes red and making him look particularly miserable.
Seeing this, Master Qianlanzong, who was acting as the referee of the arena, couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Chu Lengyu, trying to find some clues from her.
However, this subtle scene did not escape the discerning eyes of the elders of the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
He stepped forward, blocking Qianlan Sect Master's view perfectly. His gaze revealed a sharpness that he made no attempt to conceal, as if it were a silent warning.
Upon seeing this, the True Person of the Thousand Mist Sect felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that his actions had already angered the people of the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands, smiling apologetically as he earnestly said, "Congratulations to Hundred Swords Pavilion on achieving five victories! Congratulations!"
His words were both an apology and a gesture of goodwill, an attempt to defuse the previous awkwardness and unpleasantness.
Wei Yu had previously been arrogant and shameless, using terms like "lowly fool" and "mere second-rate sect" to insult people, which offended many.
The True Person of the Thousand Mist Sect knew that although the Hundred Swords Pavilion, a second-rate sect, was indeed insignificant in front of a major sect like the Thousand Mist Sect, the path of cultivation was long and there were many instances of people making a name for themselves. In order to live a long and healthy life, it was best to resolve conflicts as much as possible without making enemies.
Leaving aside distant examples, take Venerable Qianyan for instance. In the past, when Tianhuo Island was at its zenith, he was arrogant and disrespectful to even the Qianlan Sect, often showing disrespect. However, a year ago, his entire clan was wiped out by an unparalleled ruthless man, and the remaining members of his clan were like stray dogs, begging for shelter everywhere.
It's truly a case of watching him rise to great heights and then watching them crumble.
Moreover, he himself was at the Golden Core stage, while the leader of the Hundred Swords Pavilion was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, a huge difference in their cultivation levels.
Furthermore, Chu Lengyu possesses extraordinary potential and may rise rapidly in the future, achieving limitless success.
For all these reasons, he naturally did not want to incur enmity with the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
Seeing this, the elder of the Hundred Swords Pavilion nodded slightly, his expression softening, and he let the Golden Core cultivator go.
He turned to look at Chu Lengyu, and a genuine smile immediately appeared on his face. He showed her great concern and care.
He thought smugly: So what if it's the Wei family? Their members are nothing but good-for-nothings, unable to withstand even a single sword strike. On the other hand, my Hundred Swords Pavilion has such a talented and promising young man among its ranks; it is truly a blessing for the sect!
With five victories in the arena and the glory bestowed upon him, Chu Lengyu once again earned the qualification to enter that vermilion building to select a reward.
She hurried into the first floor of the vermilion building, intending to choose a precious book on formations, and also to take this opportunity to gather some information.
This time, she was greeted by the same lady in the purple dress as before.
Upon seeing Chu Lengyu return so quickly, the lady in the purple dress showed a hint of surprise, but quickly regained her composure and smiled, flattering her, "Your esteemed guest is truly remarkable."
At a young age, in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he achieved five victories, and even decisively defeated a member of the Wei family.
The lady in the purple dress couldn't help but feel a bit more appreciation, and her posture became even more upright.
No matter when or where, capable people always earn more respect.
Chu Lengyu nodded slightly in response.
She glanced at the purple-skirted lady's expression and demeanor out of the corner of her eye, trying to discern something from them.
However, the lady in the purple dress remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or confusion, as if she knew nothing about the appearance of the demons.
Was she unaware of this, or was she completely fearless?
Chu Lengyu thought it was the latter.
She had the lady in the purple dress lead the way, and the two of them arrived together at the array area on the first floor.
The bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books and jade slips about formations. Chu Lengyu strolled among them, flipping through the various books on formations.
Since only the first few pages were available before she bought it, she flipped through them while chatting with her.
They talked about formations, the Myriad Star Alliance, Jingu Island, and the Thousand Mist Sect.
