"Lost in the chains of affection, the Daoist heart clouded, passage is forbidden!"
A deep voice, as if coming from the Nine Heavens, reverberated.
The Disciples were shaken, all looking over.
They saw two enormous statues seemingly co to life, their eyes oozing golden flas as they spoke in human speech!
At the sa ti, on the central stone wall, a light curtain converged, revealing a gentle, jade-like smiling face.
It was a handso young man!
"Weiwei, don't be sad. Eat sothing. Here's so chicken soup!"
The man chuckled softly.
The next mont, the image shattered, and the stone wall returned to normal.
After witnessing this scene, the entire crowd plunged into silence!
No one dared to speculate openly!
Xiao Hongling bit her red lips, her expression turning exceedingly grim.
Yes, everyone had seen it clearly!
The man from monts ago was none other than...
the Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak, the one who had previously dominated the entire scene, slaying a dragon with ease!
"Wicked disciple! You knew perfectly well that your Eldest Senior Brother has feelings for Senior Sister Yurong, yet you still coveted him..."
"As your Master, I am... extrely disappointed in you!"
A naless fury surged within her. Xiao Hongling flicked her sleeve, instantly shattering a section of the stone wall!
"Get down here at once! Do you intend to disgrace further?"
She shouted sharply at the young woman high in the sky—the one whose expression was crumbling, who was channeling her True Qi, attempting to force her way through.
Nearby, Su i said with a faint, unreadable smile, "Martial Niece Chu, hurry down. These two statues were once sword slaves under the founder of Qinglan, transford into their Dharma Appearances. Their strength is at least at the Nascent Soul Realm; you can't possibly force your way through!"
"Sigh, Third Junior Sister, why must you put yourself through this?" Guo Yourong, who was beside them, sighed quietly. "Although Eldest Senior Brother accepted my affections, I always feel that it's not as if he's completely without feelings for you."
For so reason, at that mont, there wasn't a hint of jealousy in her heart; instead, it was filled with a profound ache for Chu Youwei.
She gritted her teeth, quickly flew up, and carefully brought her Junior Sister down.
"Alright, Junior Sister Hongling, how about I demonstrate first?"
Su i gazed at her Junior Sister, her phoenix eyes sparkling with affection, a charming smile playing on her lips.
"Hmph! With here, there's no need for you to go and embarrass yourself!"
Xiao Hongling snorted, flicked her sleeve, and swept the crowd aside.
"Everyone, stand back! Watch carefully! This is what is ant by a—Calm Daoist Heart!"
Her commanding voice resounded!
The next mont, under the awestruck gazes of the entire crowd, the tall, graceful figure on the ground transford directly into a brilliant, unparalleled streak of sword light, shooting towards the Dao platform above!
Its montum was like a thunderbolt—utterly dominant and unstoppable!
This... is this the movent technique of the strongest Sword Cultivator in the Qinglan Sect since its founding?
At that instant, everyone marveled silently!
However, in the very next instant, a shocking scene unfolded!
The two stone statues, which had fallen silent, revived once more!
Simultaneously, the central stone wall again blazed with dazzling light, revealing another image!
Everyone quickly looked and saw a blurry figure in snow-white robes. The figure was shown from the back.
They wore a Daoist bun, making it impossible to distinguish their gender.
Yet, one could faintly discern a small cluster of pink flowers resting in the palm of this person's hand.
"That... what is that?"
"Earlier, when Elder Sister Chu was taking the test, the one she fancies, the Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak, appeared. Now this person in white... could they also be..."
"Shh! Are you tired of living?! You dare gossip about Chief Xiao?"
"This person is holding a Sky Heart Flower. It's hard to say; they might even be a woman!"
Just as everyone was inwardly trembling with shock, the two giant statues spoke again—
"Affec—"
However, this ti, no sooner had the word "affection" left their lips—
CRACK!
A fiercely domineering, matchless streak of sword light, so vast it covered half the sky, swept across!
A crisp, shattering sound echoed.
The divine radiance on the two giant statues gradually faded. Then, their massive bodies broke apart, shattering into a pile of rubble!
"So strong!"
"Nascent Soul! Those were Dharma Appearances at the Nascent Soul level!"
"Heavens! Those two Nascent Soul giant statues... in a third-rate sect, they'd be as strong as a Sect Master! And now Chief Xiao... destroyed them with a single sword strike?"
"Speaking of which... what realm is Chief Xiao in now? Peak Nascent Soul? Divinity Transformation Realm?"
"Your perspective is too narrow! For Chief Xiao, cultivation realms are practically aningless! Back then, she accomplished heaven-defying feats with just a Golden Core body!"
"Tsk, tsk. Divine Phoenix Peak, from its Disciples to its Chief, is probably the undisputed number one among the Five Branches now, wouldn't you say?"
In that instant, the entire crowd was utterly subdued.
Things having developed to this point, the atmosphere had beco sowhat suffocating.
"Hmph! What an utterly boring test!"
Xiao Hongling's face flushed crimson. She quickly turned away, presenting only her commanding back to the crowd.
"The two sword slaves are dead. There's no need for us to waste any more ti!" she declared.
"Disciples of the Four Branches, hear my command! Proceed to the fifth level in order and rescue our two fellow Disciples!"
"We respectfully obey Uncle Master Xiao's command!"
The Disciples all responded in unison.
Xiao Hongling leaped down.
After the recent incident, she looked at Chu Youwei, whose face was etched with misery.
It seems... I'm not that angry anymore? she thought.
Just as she was about to go and offer a few words of comfort to her disciple, another figure had already walked up to her.
"Tsk, Junior Sister, I truly never expected that even you—always so free-spirited and unrestrained, so proudly disdainful of both immortals and mortals—would one day be infatuated with soone..."
Su i chuckled softly. "That person in white who appeared in the vision just now, who was it? Why not whisper it to your Elder Sister, hmm?"
"I... Hmph! Are you mad? I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Xiao Hongling snapped, turning her face away and gritting her teeth.
"Oh my, my! Now, that just makes your Elder Sister even more curious!" Su i purred.
"Quick, tell ! Who is it? Who could possibly make my dear Junior Sister's Calm Daoist Heart beco clouded, forcing her to slay those two sword slaves? Well?"
