He also nodded and said,"That's right, Second Junior Brother. I noticed Junior Sister Lin Siyu yesterday. Her cultivation is very high and isn't much weaker than Junior Brother. You have to be careful."
As Song Tian did not know about Lin Yu's breakthrough last night, he thought that Lin Yu was still at Rank two peak stage. However, Lin Yu did not explain and only smiled.
Du Hong saw that everyone was instructing Tang An on how to deal with Lin Siyu, but no one came forward to tell him how to deal with Wen Yue. He said unhappily,"Hey, hey, my opponent is Wen Yue, an outstanding disciple of the main peak. Why don't you care about me?”
Everyone was a little embarrassed when they heard this, but then they all looked at Du Hong with sympathy. Song Tian patted Du Hong's shoulder and said,"Third Junior Brother, do your best!”After saying that, he left with Ye Xin. They were about to compete.
Tang An patted Du Hong's shoulder and said,"Third Junior Brother, I'm going to compete in a while, so I can't come and watch your competition. You have to be careful.”
Zhang Li patted Du Hong's shoulder and said," Third Senior Brother, you'd better come back a hundred years later. I still have to watch Little Junior Sister's competition. Sigh…"
Cao Yi patted Du Hong's shoulder and wanted to say something. However, he felt that his senior brothers had already finished speaking, so he did not say anything. He sighed heavily and turned around to leave.
Du Hong watched as everyone left and heard their sighs. He was so angry that he cursed without any grace,"You bunch of ungrateful fellows. To think that I was so good to you in the past.”
After saying that, Du Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. He realized that his junior brother, Lin Yu, had not left yet. He immediately opened his hand and climbed onto Lin Yu's shoulder. He directly patted the unprepared little fox. The little fox immediately squeaked angrily.
When Du Hong saw this, he chuckled and withdrew his right hand awkwardly. He had heard from Lin Yu that the little fox had advanced to a fourth-grade demonic beast, so he did not dare to offend the little fox. However, he turned to Lin Yu and chuckled,"Junior brother, you won't be as disloyal as them, right?”
After saying that, Du Hong did not wait for Lin Yu to speak and pulled Lin Yu towards the fifth arena. As he walked, he said,"Those disloyal fellows have underestimated me. Although Wen Yue is powerful, I, Third Senior Brother, am not jealous. Later, Little Junior Brother, you can watch me display my might and conquer that woman Wen Yue. At that time, I will definitely let them know how powerful I, Du Hong, am."
Lin Yu listened to Du Hong's fantasizing words and could only nod his head non-stop. However, Du Hong became more and more excited as he spoke. It seemed that he did not take Wen Yue seriously. As soon as he released his domineering aura, Wen Yue would kneel before him. When Lin Yu glanced at the familiar figure of a woman walking over, he did not have time to remind Du Hong. He could only shake Du Hong's hand violently to remind him.
Du Hong didn't notice Lin Yu's reminder. Instead, he said," Hey, Junior Brother, you don't know, right? When Senior Brother didn't enter the sect, he was like a blade of grass in our village. Who knows how many beautiful women in the village threw themselves at him. However, Senior Brother walked among thousands of flowers and didn't even touch a leaf. It's fine if Wen Yue showed off her might at the main peak, but when I met Senior Brother, I still bowed down to him…"
" Senior Brother…" Hearing Du Hong's increasingly inappropriate words and seeing the beautiful face of the woman listening beside him turn from red to white and then from white to black, Lin Yu was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He could not help but shout.
Du Hong was immersed in his fantasy when he was called back to reality by Lin Yu. He turned around and said unhappily,"Junior brother, you…"
Then, Du Hong saw that the black-faced woman could no longer speak. Her mouth was wide open.
"Junior Brother Du, you're really impressive. I'd like to see how you're going to conquer this little girl." Wen Yue sneered.”
Du Hong looked at Wen Yue's frosty face and immediately felt extremely awkward. He stuttered,"Senior, Senior Sister Wen Yue, I was just talking nonsense.”At this point, Du Hong wiped his cold sweat and repeated," Yes, Senior Sister Wen Yue, I was just spouting nonsense. Don't take it to heart."”
" Oh, why are you so scared before the competition even started? Where did your imposing manner go?" Wen Yue remained unmoved and said coldly.
The sweat on Du Hong's forehead flowed even faster this time. He smiled bitterly and said,"Cousin, you don't have to be so ruthless. I'm just talking nonsense. Do you have to be so serious?”
Lin Yu felt a little strange when he heard Du Hong's words. Wen Yue, the influential figure of the main peak, was actually Du Hong's cousin? Wen Yue was clearly a hundred years older than Du Hong. How could she be Du Hong's cousin?
What surprised Lin Yu even more was that Wen Yue's expression actually eased up a lot after hearing Du Hong's words. She said,"Hmph, you're really vicious. If I hear you say these words again, I'll definitely teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents.”With that, he turned around and left.
From what she said, it was obvious that she had known Du Hong for a long time, and their relationship was quite good. This made Lin Yu's mouth open in surprise. After Wen Yue left, he stuttered,"Third Senior Brother, how can Senior Sister Wen Yue be your cousin? You're only in your fifties, but Senior Sister Wen Yue is already over a hundred years old.”
Du Hong smiled bitterly." You don't have to doubt it. That woman is really my cousin. She's just a distant cousin. She was the one who recommended me to the Nine Immortals Sect. Otherwise, how could I have entered the Nine Immortals Sect halfway through?"”
Only then did Lin Yu understand. The Nine Immortals Sect only accepted disciples once every hundred years. They rarely accepted disciples midway unless someone introduced them. Fourth Brother Zhang Li and Fifth Brother Cao Yi were orphans that Master Ye Zhengtian and Master's wife Su Rong met outside. Master's wife took pity on them and accepted them into the sect. As for Third Brother Du Hong, Lin Yu didn't know how he entered the sect. Only after hearing Du Hong's words did Lin Yu know the reason.
Knowing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but be happy for Du Hong. He said,"Third Senior Brother, since Senior Sister Wen Yue is your cousin, I'm sure she will show mercy in the competition later.”
At this moment, Du Hong was no longer in the mood to blame Lin Yu for not having confidence in him. Instead, he said with a bitter face,"I don't think so. That woman is the most vengeful. She taught me a lot of lessons in the past. This time, I offended her.”
" Ah!" Lin Yu was shocked. He then looked at Du Hong sympathetically, but he wasn't worried. After all, Wen Yue was Du Hong's cousin. Even if she taught Du Hong a lesson, she wouldn't hurt him.
As Du Hong and Lin Yu had expected, Wen Yue had suppressed Du Hong with her high cultivation at the beginning of the competition. As the only female disciple of Perfected Xuan Qing, Wen Yue was favored by him because of her high aptitude. She had a superior Lv 5 immortal weapon, the Nine Immortal Sword, which was given to her by Perfected Xuan Qing. It was also a famous peerless treasure of the Nine Immortals Sect.
It was rumored that there were a total of nine immortal swords in the hands of the nine peak masters. They were the Lingyun Sword of the Lingyun Peak, the Gold Sword of the Gold Spirit Peak, the Wood Sword of the Wood Spirit Peak, the Water Sword of the Water Spirit Peak, the Fire Sword of the Fire Spirit Peak, the Earth Sword of the Earth Spirit Peak, the Wind Sword of the Wind Spirit Peak, the Thunder Sword of the Thunder Spirit Peak, and the Ice Sword of the Ice Spirit Peak.
The nine immortal swords were all top-grade Lv 5 immortal swords, and they were also the personal treasures of the Peak Masters. In addition, most of the Peak Masters had their own immortal weapons, so the Nine Immortal Swords rarely appeared. For example, although Ye Zhengtian had the Thunder Sword, he usually used the medium-grade Lv 5 immortal weapon, the Thunder Spirit Sword, which had been with him for a long time.
Perfected Xuan Qing didn't pass the Soaring Cloud Sword to his eldest disciple, Zhou Cong, but to Wen Yue.
Compared to Wen Yue, whose cultivation was high and whose immortal weapon was shockingly powerful, Du Hong was in a miserable state. His cultivation was only at the initial stage of the second transition third level, and his immortal weapon, Purple Jade, was only a level-four immortal weapon. Therefore, the result of the competition was one-sided from the beginning.
As Du Hong had said, Wen Yue did not show any mercy. The Soaring Cloud Sword attacked fiercely, causing Du Hong's entire body to swell. However, Lin Yu could clearly see Wen Yue's attack. Every time the Soaring Cloud Sword came to Du Hong's side, it would change direction and hit Du Hong's body. Otherwise, Du Hong would have been dismembered by Wen Yue long ago. How could he still cry out in pain on the arena?
After torturing Du Hong for two hours, Wen Yue finally stopped and left the ring. Lin Yu quickly went up the ring and applied the medicine on Du Hong's swollen face. Only then could Du Hong barely see his face.
Lin Yu looked at Du Hong's miserable appearance and could not help but feel a chill in his heart. It was really difficult to raise a woman. That Wen Yue was too ruthless. In the future, he must not easily offend women, Lin Yu thought to himself.
At this moment, Song Tian, Ye Xin, and the others had also ended their matches. Their opponents did not have high cultivation levels, so Song Tian and Ye Xin easily won and successfully entered the top 32. On the other hand, Tang An was not inferior to Lin Siyu and was eventually defeated.
Song Tian and the others were shocked when they saw Du Hong's miserable state. They all knew the relationship between Wen Yue and Du Hong, so they were at ease to let Du Hong compete alone. How could they have known that something had happened that caused Du Hong to be beaten so badly? Song Tian immediately said angrily,"That Wen Yue is simply too much of a bully. Du Hong is her cousin, after all, but he's actually so ruthless.”
Ye Xin and the others were also furious. Lin Yu smiled bitterly and told them what had happened. Song Tian and the others then revealed an expression of understanding. Ye Xin said disdainfully,"Third Senior Brother deserved it. No wonder Senior Sister Wen Yue was angry.”
Song Tian and the others also looked at Du Hong sympathetically and revealed gloating gazes. Du Hong's mouth was swollen from the beating and he could not speak. At this moment, when he saw everyone's disdainful gazes, he immediately protested.
Song Tian and the others ignored his protest. After seeing that Lin Yu had already helped him apply the medicine, they were relieved. They turned to Lin Yu and said,"Little Junior Brother, we helped you take a look just now. Your opponent is Wood Spirit Peak's Ouyang Bufan. Ouyang Bufan is the eldest disciple of Wood Spirit Peak and has a profound cultivation. According to Master, he has already entered Third Transformation Second Level.”
