Chapter 2560

Zhu Yanyi continued, "Especially now, these twins are cultivators. Their minds are linked even more closely. In such a situation, Yun Ling, Cui Wan, do you have confidence in your Taiji Liangyi Formation?"

Cui Wan smiled gently. "Master, I don't know exactly how strong their twin connection is. But I can tell you one thing for sure: our Taiji Liangyi Formation can definitely counter them."

Zhu Yanyi did not ask why Cui Wan was so confident. She simply said, "I won't question why you are so sure. But remember, no matter what you do, you must protect yourselves first. Do you understand?"

"We understand, Master." Cui Wan nodded seriously.

Yun Ling also spoke up. "Sect Leader, please rest assured. We only speak this way because we truly have the confidence. We are not people who make empty boasts."

Zhu Yanyi trusted them on this point. Indeed, neither Yun Ling nor Cui Wan were boastful people.

Seeing that Cui Wan and Yun Ling were confident, Zhu Yanyi turned to Gong Jue. "The third match is an individual disciple contest. This round tests techniques. Your mystical arts are the best in the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. However, you must still be careful in all matters."

Zhu Yanyi’s expression was very serious. "The disciples sent by the major sects are certainly not ordinary. So, at all times, you must be cautious. Of course, I know your personality. Among your ten senior and junior siblings, Gong Jue is arguably the most careful."

"Master, you should say that Junior Brother Gong is the best at calculating," Cui Wan said, laughing first.

The other senior and junior siblings also laughed. Except for Gong Jue himself, everyone agreed with Cui Wan. "Eldest Senior Sister is right."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi laughed and scolded, "This is called being careful. What does 'best at calculating' mean? Even if Gong Jue is the best at calculating, if you could learn just one-third of her caution, I would thank the Heavenly Dao greatly."

Cui Wan hurriedly said, "Master, you cannot look down on us like that. Actually, we are all very good and obedient."

"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded seriously.

"I think you are all a bit silly," Zhu Yanyi laughed and scolded again. Then she said, "Alright, let’s get back to the main topic. Gong Jue, you just need to perform at your usual level. Other difficulties should not be problems for you."

Zhu Yanyi knew Gong Jue well and understood her abilities, which is why she spoke this way.

Gong Jue hummed. "Sect Leader, I have noted it. Please rest assured."

Seeing that Gong Jue had a clear plan, Zhu Yanyi turned to Qian Huansheng. "Qian Huansheng, how confident are you in this intermediate-level battle?"

Qian Huansheng pondered for a moment. "I know nothing about the Demon Immortal. So, when you ask how confident I am, to be honest, it is hard to say."

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "I am not very familiar with the Demon Immortal side either. Husband, you explain it."

Yan Aohan hummed. "Demon cultivators and your demon cultivators are actually quite similar. Both are completely different from human cultivators. However, demon cultivators have more hostility. It also tests the cultivator's mindset more severely. If their mindset fails, they will directly fall into the path of evil demons and become evil cultivators. Therefore, it is very difficult for a demon cultivator to become an immortal.

Of course, once a demon cultivator becomes an immortal, their willpower is higher than that of ordinary immortals, and also higher than yours, demon immortals. The greatest characteristic of demon immortals is inheritance, an innate inheritance. The greatest characteristic of demon immortals is willpower. So, who wins and who loses, to be honest, depends on your own calculations and the clash of wills."

After hearing this, Qian Huansheng was speechless. "You said the greatest characteristic of demon cultivators is strong willpower. And you still want me to compete with them in willpower?"

"I have confidence in you," Yan Aohan said very irresponsibly. Then he turned to Zhu Yanyi. "Right, wife? Don't you agree?"

Zhu Yanyi, of course, supported her husband. So, without a second word, she nodded. "Husband is absolutely right. My husband believes in you, which means you will definitely succeed."

"Heh heh." Qian Huansheng sneered twice. "Do you two ever disagree?"

"Yes," Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "When it comes to Little Mianmian, we sometimes disagree."

"Never mind. No matter what, you are just feeding me dog food," Qian Huansheng said with a bitter face. "I’ll figure it out myself."

"Actually, Qian Huansheng," Yan Aohan looked at Qian Huansheng. "As the Fox Clan Leader, do you really think you cannot handle an intermediate expert from the Ink Sect? If the Wolf King heard this, he would mock you."

"I have no grudge with the Wolf King. He is the one who cannot stand me. Besides, now he is in Ice Snow City, and I am in the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. I really don't understand what he has against me." Qian Huansheng thought of the Wolf King with a helpless expression.

Since the Wolf King ascended and learned about Qian Huansheng, he would occasionally come to provoke him. Although the Wolf King practiced the Path of Ruthlessness, his hostility toward Qian Huansheng was absolutely persistent.

When Zhu Yanyi first heard this news, only one word came to her mind: love-hate relationship. But looking at Qian Huansheng now, she knew that the "hate" part was much stronger, and the "love" part was nonexistent.

Seeing that Qian Huansheng had her own ideas, Zhu Yanyi looked at the last person, Hong Lian. "Hong Lian, I am letting you fight against an expert from the Sword Palace this time to help you break through. Actually, winning or losing the final match is not important. What is important is giving you a chance to practice sword cultivation."

Experts in the Sword Palace rarely draw their swords without reason. So, unless it was a competition like this, experts from the Sword Palace would not appear. Hong Lian currently lacked an absolute breakthrough. Only with an absolute breakthrough could she possibly enter the Immortal Saint realm in one go.

This was also why Zhu Yanyi let her compete. Although Hong Lian’s secondary cultivation was sword cultivation, her talent was no less than that of a pure sword cultivator. Now that there was an opportunity, Zhu Yanyi naturally wanted to give it to her.

Hong Lian nodded seriously. "Sect Leader, please rest assured. I will work hard. Moreover, I will not only break through myself, but I will absolutely not lose this match."

Zhu Yanyi looked at everyone and smiled lightly. "I know many people favor our Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, believing we can replace the Hundred Changes Hall to become one of the Five Great Sects. Let’s not talk about whether the current balance of the Five Great Sects is stable. Even if it is unbalanced, I have no interest in becoming one-fifth. I want to become the absolute one. If I can, I hope the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect will be an existence that surpasses the Five Great Sects. Do you have the confidence to walk this path with me?"
