Chapter 557 A tough opponent
"The Divine Child of the Cult? Where is he? Let me take a look."
Li Lingfei quickly arrived at the arena where Bei Mingyun was and took a look. To be honest, Bei Mingyun was completely wrapped up, with only her chin showing. Nothing else could be seen at all.
Not even knowing what a person looks like, Li Ling felt somewhat frustrated.
However, the person's figure did look somewhat like someone she knew.
Li Ling knew he definitely wouldn't come to the Spirit Realm, so she didn't think about it anymore.
She took one last look and could only see a male cultivator about 1.9 meters tall, wrapped in a black robe.
Bei Mingyun has been masked until now. His swordsmanship is superb. Within three sword strikes, most cultivators would kneel down and beg for mercy, and no cultivator could even touch his robes.
Jiang He placed the sword beside her; this time she had used a different sword.
Jiang He had put away the Xuan Tie sword she had previously used. The sword she brought with her this time was taken from the sect by Bei Mingzi. The sword had no name and could be called Nameless.
However, in order to cultivate a tacit understanding with the spirit sword, Jiang He still gave it a name.
She had watched videos of her opponent's actual combat.
"Difficult to deal with" was the first word that came to Jiang He's mind.
Bei Mingyun is a member of the Divine Cult, which is shrouded in mystery. It is said that apart from the elders of the Divine Cult, few people have ever seen Bei Mingyun.
Jiang He frowned; this person's figure was indeed familiar.
Interstellar residents are in their growth period until the age of twenty, and there is still a chance of triggering height growth even in their twenties.
Although Jiang He has been staying up late for the past five years, she has been eating three meals a day at fixed times and in fixed quantities. She has almost made up for the nutrients that her body lost in the past, and now her height has increased to 1.8 meters.
Cultivators in the cultivation world are generally taller than ordinary people.
If it weren't for staying up all night, Jiang He was certain that she would have grown a few more centimeters.
Many viewers noticed that Jiang He changed her sword.
Jiang He's reputation gradually improved, partly due to his numerous victories.
Once everyone discovered Jiang He's formidable strength, their impression of her improved.
Most cultivators in the cultivation world revere the strong, and Jiang He's reputation is associated with the Xiaoyao Sect.
Netizens aren't all fools. Upon closer examination, the only issue with the Xiaoyao Sect's bad reputation is that the sect feeds cultivators demon meat; as for other matters, they haven't committed any fundamental errors.
If you dig deeper, it seems that the reputation of the Free and Unfettered Sect was spread by word of mouth and promoted to the public through smear campaigns by marketing accounts.
Jiang He's posture was exceptional. Only after she changed her sword did the audience in the stands realize that, whether in the sword training ground or the magic training ground, Jiang He's spirit sword and staff were basically basic models used for practice.
"So that means she's been using the basic version of the Spirit Sword all along?"
"Holy crap, how can anyone be so confident in herself? Isn't she afraid of encountering a strong opponent and losing the match because her spirit sword is too weak?"
"I don't know why, but I'm starting to like the confident vibe that redwood exudes."
"Just look at the other people in the Free and Unfettered Sect. Apart from Long Aotian's sword, which is really good, the swords of the other cultivators are not worth looking at at all. They are all basic models. For example, Bai Zhizhou's sword seems to be one of those produced hundreds of years ago by the Myriad Absolute Academy."
"Haha, after seeing Li Ling and Zhong Liyu's, they really are basic models. Did the Xiaoyao Sect buy these spirit swords wholesale? One for each of them?"
"It's kind of funny for some reason, I don't know why."
"A thought suddenly occurred to me: could it be that these cultivators are not sword cultivators at all?"
"How is that possible? They've all participated in the Sword Cultivator Heroes Ranking, how could they not be sword cultivators?"
"Yeah, they're all on the list, they must be sword cultivators."

(Elder, we've checked. The name is the same, but the person is completely different. We've tested them several times. Should we test them again?)
Ye: No need. There's no need to alert them.
Yes, Elder, this is Pei Ci's information and biography.
Ye: Okay.
Ye Qingqian habitually retracted messages and deleted contacts.
Six years ago, Pei Ci disobeyed her orders and incited other cultivators to rebel against the sect, almost leading them to the sect leader.
Of all these traitors, only Pei Ci is of value; she had her eye on Pei Ci from the beginning because of his spiritual root.
Unexpectedly, this person discovered his intentions. He had planned to wait until the time was right before transplanting his spiritual root into Lanlan. Unfortunately, this spiritual root transplant almost failed.
So many people around her died.
Pei Ci, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, actually managed to escape.
He had evidence in his hand.
Ye Qingyan has been sending people to search for Pei Ci all these years, but they have never been able to find him. It seems that he has vanished into thin air.
If Ye Qingyan hadn't witnessed Pei Ci escaping from the Ministry of Supervision, she wouldn't have known that Pei Ci was so capable.
Ha, just a useless person without spiritual roots.
Ye Qingyan never believed in coincidences, and the appearance of "Pei Ci" on the field might just be a prelude.
Ye Qingyan looked at the conversation, her eyes filled with malice.
She'd rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!

[Alas, so many people!]
The live stream is about to explode! The match between Hongmu and Beimingyun is attracting a huge number of viewers.
Yeah, that's right. If my internet wasn't so good, it would have taken forever to get in.
Hengxing Technology, you should at least cooperate with StarNet. The network is so bad, I'm speechless.
Shh, the match has started! Hey, stop spamming the chat so much!
[I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to watch the game.]
The terrain of racecourse number 18 is rugged, with rocks everywhere.
Jiang He glanced at it and saw that she stepped on a pile of gravel as soon as she entered.
Jiang He thought for a moment, realizing that this didn't fit her pretentious nature, so she quickly conjured a piece of floating ice and stepped on it.
Comparing herself to the situation, Jiang He thought for a moment.
To be honest, the other side is even more pretentious.
From beginning to end, he never took off the black robes of the cult. Thinking about the half of the other person's skin that was exposed, Jiang He became interested in his appearance.
It looks nice.
Jiang He looked at Bei Mingyun with a smile in her eyes.
The match began, and both players were observing.
Bei Mingyun did not draw her sword, while Jiang He drew her sword and stood beside her.
One second, two seconds...
Bei Mingyun suddenly drew his sword, which was stained with a trace of black energy.
The cultivators watching were all shocked. Something was wrong. Wasn't Bei Mingyun's spiritual root a light spiritual root? How could this be...?
This is demonic energy.
"Is Bei Mingyun a demonic cultivator?"
"Holy crap, holy ...
"The divine son of the cult is a demonic cultivator? How come I didn't know that?"
"I do not know either."
Jiang He was not surprised.
The sect competition didn't say that demonic cultivators couldn't participate, so it's not surprising that there are demonic cultivators within the Divine Sect.
However, the difficulty of this competition has increased dramatically.
Jiang He didn't relax for a moment, but Bei Mingyun came straight at her.
Jiang He held her sword to block Bei Mingyun's sword.
The two exchanged blows with their swords and then quickly separated.
To onlookers, the two cultivators' swords only clashed briefly.
On Jiang He's side, she gained a clearer understanding of Bei Mingyun's strength.
Jiang He's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and her entire arm was still numb.
She took a deep breath and decisively switched the sword from her right hand to her left.
