Chapter 570: Great Skill Breeds Great Courage
Several named direct disciples were already eager and rubbing their hands in anticipation.
Although the new product launch event organized by the ancestor was quite entertaining.
They still wanted to enjoy the thrill of combat.
They thought there wouldn't be such an opportunity, never expecting this Taoist Nun Qingci who appeared out of nowhere would show up on her own.
Then they couldn't be blamed for not holding back!
"Li Qingran is the sect leader of our Moon Shadow Sect. Asking Li Qingran to participate in battle might be..." Chen Huaian's expression turned slightly cold. Li Qingran was the sect leader after all - how improper would it be for her to join the battle?
"Master, it's fine. Although Qingran is the sect leader, I don't need to put on airs as one." Li Qingran stepped forward, cupping her hands respectfully toward Chen Huaian. "Qingran's cultivation is at the Nascent Soul stage. Before cultivation realms, there are no distinctions of position."
Chen Huaian looked at Li Qingran.
This young girl wanted to prove she wasn't just a pretty vase.
Her position wasn't due to power, but because she had genuine ability.
Chen Huaian didn't refuse.
He had absolute confidence in his disciples, especially the direct disciples, and absolute confidence in Li Qingran as well.
Moreover, the system mission had already appeared.
[Temporary Mission: Ensure sect disciples defeat Xuanhe Gate disciples in martial combat!]
<1> Li Qingran success rate: 90%
<2> Yue Qianchi success rate: 70%
<3> Duan Feng success rate: 76%
<4> Zhen He success rate: 72%
<5> Xu An success rate: 79%
Note: The above success rates are not absolute, only assessments based on surface combat power.
Although they still didn't know what level their opponents were at.
The mission system had already displayed the battle success rates.
Chen Huaian could roughly guess that the disciples sent by Master Yuyao were either inferior products forced through accelerated growth or artificial humans pieced together using Human Pills.
Such disciples indeed had strong strength and talent, but compared to truly talented geniuses, they lacked the mental fortitude and intelligence of geniuses. It was normal for their success rates to be lower than Li Qingran and the others.
Although the success rates were quite good, for Chen Huaian, what difference was there between anything less than 100% success rate and zero percent?
If his speculation was correct, when the battle was about to begin, the game would pop up with microtransaction options.
If it didn't pop up, then he would just secretly protect Li Qingran and the other four.
At his Great Ascension Stage, if he wanted to tamper subtly, no cultivator around could detect it.
"When will the martial combat begin?" Master Yuyao stared at Chen Huaian, especially since Zhang Mengchu behind Chen Huaian was already barely containing himself.
"Don't rush. This venerable one knows your true strength is at the Void Comprehension stage. Wouldn't battles at your level completely destroy this venerable's sect plaza? This venerable would need to spend time and effort repairing the sect plaza, so this venerable needs to arrange a different battle location for you."
Chen Huaian deliberately exposed Taoist Nun Qingci's cultivation concealed at the second layer, pretending not to know her true cultivation level.
He waved to Master Yuyao: "It's too late to construct a temporary arena now. Follow this venerable one!"
Master Yuyao hesitated briefly.
Following Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu was certainly inappropriate.
But after some thought, that would only be problematic if her strength was similar to Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu's.
But in reality, she was stronger than Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu combined.
So what did she have to fear?
Although she wasn't confident about eliminating Chen Huaian with his great fortune, killing Zhang Mengchu and leaving gracefully was completely within her capabilities.
Thinking this, Master Yuyao followed behind Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu without concern.
The several disciples from Xuanhe Gate watched as Master Yuyao was about to be taken away, immediately showing worried expressions.
Although this Taoist Nun Qingci didn't personally teach them much normally, she never shortchanged them on resources and had given them many rare treasures that enhanced their talents. Additionally, the cultivation techniques they practiced were personally selected for them one-on-one by Taoist Nun Qingci.
One could say that without Taoist Nun Qingci, they might still be ordinary rogue cultivators, struggling at the very bottom of the Cangyun Realm's cultivator hierarchy.
So they always remembered Taoist Nun Qingci's kindness.
Even now, when Taoist Nun Qingci asked them to battle against Moon Shadow Sect's prodigies, they held no resentment. This might be their only opportunity to demonstrate their personal worth.
"Don't worry about this venerable one."
Master Yuyao coldly waved her hand.
"Focus on your duties, and remember what this venerable told you before!"
Under Master Yuyao's oppressive gaze.
These disciples ultimately lowered their heads in dejection.
Simultaneously, they developed a sense of hatred toward Moon Shadow Sect in their hearts.
This Chen Sword Master clearly had ill intentions.
They absolutely couldn't bring shame to their sect leader!
"Sect Leader, rest assured, we will definitely fight well!"
"Sect Leader! You must come back to see us!"
Master Yuyao nodded superficially.
But inwardly, she was dismissive.
Just a bunch of chess pieces, and they're developing sect feelings?
Emotions were the most useless things, especially detrimental to cultivation.
Of course, her feelings for the Immortal Elder were excluded.
Her worship and admiration for White Sword were the driving force behind her continuous strengthening!
Chen Huaian brought Zhang Mengchu and Master Yuyao to the bamboo forest at the back mountain.
If there was any place that could trap Master Yuyao, it would naturally be the small cabin he built for secret meetings with Qingran.
"Taoist Nun Qingci, please wait outside for a moment. This venerable needs to go inside and make some arrangements."
Without waiting for objection, Chen Huaian waved to Zhang Mengchu: "You, come with this venerable!"
Master Yuyao watched helplessly as Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu disappeared into the sea of bamboo.
She quickly lost track of their auras.
Clearly, there was some sophisticated formation array within this bamboo forest.
"What exactly are they planning?" Master Yuyao became vigilant, but she had already come this far, with revenge just one step away.
Would she give up now?
That was definitely impossible.
She was at the Great Ascension Three Tribulations realm.
With great skill comes boldness - there was nothing to fear.
"I'll wait a moment to see what medicine you're selling in your gourd!"
Master Yuyao crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
She would make Chen Huaian and Zhang Mengchu understand.
Before absolute strength, all schemes would prove pale and powerless.
Deep within the bamboo forest.
Inside the small wooden cabin protected by layers of formation arrays.
Chen Huaian placed two cups of cola on the Go board.
He immediately purchased a [Ninefold Spring] from the demonic cultivator store. Previously, this pill showed as out of stock in the store, but today when the Bliss Sect leader brought out the pill, he checked the store and found it back in stock.
The store's inventory came from the Bliss Sect.
He didn't have time to wait for the Bliss Sect to offer tribute proactively.
He directly broke the Ninefold Spring into two halves, putting some in each cup.
This pill was colorless and odorless, with effects that could enhance strength. His great formation could suppress spiritual senses, so Master Yuyao might not necessarily detect it.
Even if Master Yuyao was perceptive enough to detect it, he still had backup plans.
"Ancestor, wouldn't it be somewhat bullying if I fought against that Taoist Nun Qingci?"
Zhang Mengchu didn't know what Chen Huaian was tinkering with.
He had been struggling with it all the way, finally asking the question.
Chen Huaian looked at Zhang Mengchu with a strange expression.
"Are you sure you can defeat her?" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novᴇlfire.net
"She's at early Void Comprehension stage, I'm at complete Void Comprehension stage. Why couldn't I defeat her?"
Zhang Mengchu was puzzled.
Chen Huaian laughed, a dark laugh, "What if this venerable told you that the so-called Taoist Nun Qingci... is actually Master Yuyao?"
