I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 567 Hua Lanzheng vs. Jiang He

The targeted cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect and the equally targeted cultivators from the Weapon Sect each faced round after round of cultivators, and after a day of competition, they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

After another round of matches, someone in the Xiaoyao Sect shouted "Dinner's ready!" and a large group of cultivators quickly finished their matches and left the arena. The once lively arena suddenly had a third of its people gone. The answer was that they had gone to eat.

"What kind of food is there to eat? You just left for such an important match like that, but you still have to come back. There's a one-minute waiting time and a one-minute allowable lateness. You can just chew a sugar pill every two minutes."

"Hahaha, if the Free and Unfettered Sect wasn't a small sect, I don't think people would be so prejudiced against it. The Free and Unfettered Sect cultivators' competitions are quite entertaining. Every sword move is so precise and methodical that I almost thought they were sword moves from a textbook."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. I do think it's like someone who's only been learning swordsmanship for a few years and then started competing in tournaments."

"So, with such terrible sword techniques, why hasn't a single cultivator succeeded in climbing the rankings? The Xiaoyao Sect cultivators are taking up more and more spots in the sword and magic cultivation arenas. If no one intervenes, won't they just take up half the rankings?"

"That's outrageous. There were even newly listed cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect who were successfully attacked."

"Why isn't the Divine Sect putting much effort into the Heroes Ranking? Right now, we only see Bei Mingyun in fourth place on the Sword Cultivator Ranking, while Hua Lanzheng from the Lingyun Sect has moved up to first place."

"Hua Lanzheng is really stable. She hasn't fallen out of the top spot yet, and from what I've seen, no cultivator dares to challenge her."

"Nonsense, that's Hua Lanzheng, a light spiritual root, the face of the Lingyun Sect, a true legend in our cultivation world."

"Isn't Bei Mingyun also a light spirit root?"

"Bei Mingyun's light spirit root looks rather weak."

"Stop, stop, stop. I feel... how should I put it, don't you guys think it's too much of a coincidence? Everyone says Bei Mingyun is Pei Ci, and I remember Pei Ci also had a light spiritual root. Besides, isn't there a rumor online that Pei Ci's spiritual root was dug out?"

"You don't mean to say that Pei Ci's spiritual root was dug up and given to Hua Lanzheng, do you?"

"Damn it, watch your words. Don't say anything without evidence, or the Lingyun Sect will sue you."

"Chat paused, there's huge news! Hua Lanzheng has chosen to fight Hongmu!"

"what?"

-

"What did you say? Hua Lanzheng is fighting against our senior sister!"

Ye Yinqiu was extremely surprised. Wasn't Hua Lanzheng from the Lingyun Sect? She was currently ranked number one in the sword cultivation arena. Logically, it should be cultivators from other sects choosing to attack Hua Lanzheng's arena. Why was Hua Lanzheng doing the opposite?

and……

"Speaking of which, these rules don't allow it either..."

Ye Yinqiu asked, puzzled.

Hua Lanzheng is challenging Hongmu. If she loses, Hongmu will become the number one on the leaderboard. If she wins, she will still be number one. It seems like there's no point in doing so.

“She’s here for the redwood,” Bai Zhizhou said, his gaze turning to Hua Lanzheng, who was also looking towards the Xiaoyao Sect.

Many cultivators of Lingyun Sect did not understand Hua Lanzheng's actions. Although Hongmu won against Beimingyun, he had not yet challenged Hua Lanzheng. Hua Lanzheng should not have taken the initiative to attack.

"Senior Sister Hua, winning this match won't please us, and losing would be like handing over our ranking. With your skill, there's no need for that."

"Yes, Senior Sister, you can definitely beat Hongmu in the sword training arena. She doesn't deserve to stand on the same field as you at all."

Hua Lanzheng squinted and placed her finger on her face to indicate that it was too noisy.

Hua Lanzheng's visit this time was not to verify Hongmu's capabilities.

Instead, she discovered the figure of a deceased person in Hongmu. Since the sect competition began, Hua Lanzheng's gaze often lingered on this cultivator named Hongmu, with the same sword-wielding posture and the same starting stance.

She wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't the same person.

Taking advantage of the sect competition, why not just kill them and get rid of them once and for all?

Hua Lanzheng smiled.

To outsiders, Hua Lanzheng's smile appeared unnatural.

Especially the cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect who were watching Hua Lanzheng:

"Hua Lanzheng really wants to challenge Senior Sister? She must be out of her mind."

"They came for Senior Sister. What does that mean? Could Hua Lanzheng be hostile to our Xiaoyao Sect?"

"To be precise, he was hostile towards his senior sister."

……

Jiang He stood on the platform, sword in hand, and turned to look at Hua Lanzheng.

Clearly, Ying Fengyi, one of her opponents, was not stupid.

Since the sect competition, Jiang He has not made any effort to hide her identity as "Jiang He".

Those who should recognize her should have already recognized her.

Just like Bei Mingyun, unless Hongmu admits it herself, no one will be certain that she is Jiang He.

In truth, Jiang He was relying on her sect. The Xiaoyao Sect needed an opportunity to revive, and this sect competition was her challenge to those people.

She's not afraid of trouble or causing trouble. She's worthless as a pawn, so at worst she'll just flip the table.

Jiang He had thought it through clearly.

However, Ying Fengyi still harbored resentment over the incident when Jiang He struck him hard in the illusion.

Hua Lanzheng's spiritual root was stolen.

Ying Fengyi discovered this before she possessed Hua Lanzheng's body. The aptitude of this body was really bad. When she first saw that Hua Lanzheng had a light spiritual root, she wondered why her aptitude was so poor.

Despite years of continuous cultivation, Ying Fengyi has only managed to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Without opportunities and resources, it will be very difficult to progress further.

Ying Fengyi's cave resources had been almost entirely depleted by himself over the years, and many of those resources were leaked from Lingyun Sect by Ye Qingqian.

She often scorned the ways of the Lingyun Sect, but she never missed out on what she was entitled to.

Faced with the redwood that might belong to Jiang He, Ying Fengyi couldn't help but wonder if the real Jiang He was still alive, for example, that someone protected Jiang He and helped her survive the battle.

She stood on the ring as well, and the two looked at each other.

Jiang He flashed a defiant grin, revealing eight teeth as she laughed heartily.

Looking into Ying Fengyi's eyes, one could see that Jiang He was verbally humiliating him.

She seemed to be saying that five years had passed, and their cultivation levels were about the same, but her aptitude was clearly higher.

As Ying Fengyi imagined it, he became even angrier, wishing he could kill Jiang He immediately to vent his anger.

[What is Lingyun Sect doing?]

Hua Lanzheng is planning to directly cut off Hongmu's path to the top of the rankings, isn't she?

This competition is getting more and more exciting!

Hongmu is still strong, but I'm also curious to see who will ultimately prevail if the two of them are determined to be superior.

I bet on Lingyun Sect's Hua Lanzheng

I bet on the Redwood of the Free and Unfettered Sect

I bet...

I still think this match was unnecessary. Is Hua Lanzheng just too idle, deliberately challenging low-post opponents from a high position?

But if I were Hua Lanzheng, I would make the same choice. It's time to crush the confidence of other players and achieve complete dominance of the rankings. Anyway, there will be a fight sooner or later, so it doesn't matter.

I'm so excited! Light spirit root and ice spirit root, both are powerful mutated spirit roots!

Light can penetrate ice, so let's wait and see. If nothing unexpected happens, Hua Lanzheng's light spiritual root will be much stronger than her ice spiritual root.
