Chapter 17: Stunning the Crowd! My Disciple has the Posture of a Great Emperor!_1
"Junior Sister Hongling, are you really confident in your eldest apprentice? This is a battle of life and death. That Ye Chen’s martial arts are extraordinary. I’m afraid... Ah~"
On the high platform, seeing Xiao Hongling take her seat, True Master Yuanyi said, his face etched with worry.
"Chief Xiao, as long as you agree, we don’t need to accept this duel to the death. As for the grievance between Ye Chen and Lin Xiao, as their mentors, we can mediate after he joins the sect," True Master Ziyun, the Sect Leader with his impeccable demeanor, also said.
"Tsk, tsk, Sect Leader, you’re underestimating our Junior Sister Hongling with such words. Her personally groomed eldest apprentice is bound to be an exceptional talent. How could he be scared of an ordinary martial artist?"
"In my opinion, this battle to the death must be fought! Otherwise, in the future, any random uncouth savage will dare to challenge our Qinglan Sect!" Daoist Chisong, the monkey-faced Chairman of Red Cloud Peak, insisted grimly.
As soon as these words were said, the Elders on the side all shook their heads.
At this moment, everyone knew that Chairman Chisong was simply pouring oil on the fire, wanting to deliberately embarrass this arrogant "First Fairy of the Eastern Region"!
As everyone knew, Chairman Xiao Hongling of Divine Phoenix Peak usually traveled abroad and rarely meddled in the cultivation of her mountain’s disciples, leaving such matters mostly to the lecturing and supervising Elders. And this Chief Disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak, whose talent was unremarkable and whose strength was rumored to be inferior even to several of his junior martial sisters—what chance did he possibly have!
"Junior Sister Hongling... are you truly confident in this Lin Xiao?" Su Mei, on the side, glanced over, her beautiful eyes flashing, and said coldly.
"Senior Sisters and Brothers, you need not worry. My apprentice is destined to be invincible and outshine everyone in this contest!" Xiao Hongling’s eyes glowed as she looked at the peerless figure clothed in white on the fighting stage.
