My Master Knows It All

No, something is wrong...

Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared. Xia Congyun was taking action for her own reasons, surely it must be because of the Ultimate Sword Sect. Had the people from Ultimate Sword Sect asked her to intervene, and even told her to kill the opponent?

If Xia Congyun killed Cao Zhen, the situation would still head towards the worst possible direction.

Why would Cao Zhen agree to it?

He had already told him how skilled Xia Congyun was, what kind of person she was!

Yet, he didn't believe it and insisted on a friendly match, while she thought about directly killing him.

This Cao Zhen, why did the Eastern Wasteland find such an unreliable person?

In an instant, Yang Yudong thought of many things, he thought of the consequences if Cao Zhen was killed by Xia Congyun; he even envisioned the gruesome battle scene that would erupt once the Eastern Wasteland and Eastern Border fully bordered each other.

As soon as Cao Zhen agreed to the friendly match, a female cultivator flew out from among the crowd.

Generally speaking, cultivators are good-looking, especially the female ones who are almost all beautiful. However, the Xia Congyun in front of him was as ordinary as could be, neither ugly nor pretty, with nothing particularly remarkable about her except for her extremely calm demeanor, her face showing no flicker of emotion.

Actually, she didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Although she always cultivated within the Sect, she was aware of the struggle between the Peaceful and Main War factions of the Eastern Border, and she knew her Flowing Light Sect always stayed out of these conflicts.

But she had no choice; her senior sister had asked for her help, and she could only agree to step forward.

After all, it was her senior sister who had taught her cultivation in the beginning, and she had taught her everything without holding back. Her senior sister had even sought treasures from other Immortal Sects to aid her cultivation.

This favor, she had to help.

Just to kill the opponent?

Xia Congyun shook her head gently; she could defeat him, but she wouldn't kill him—after all, she held no grudge against him. Moreover, killing him would only drag the Flowing Light Sect into the dispute between the Peaceful and Main War sects. For her Sect, she would not kill him.

In the next moment, nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills appeared behind her back.

Each of the nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills manifested as a different fierce beast; some appeared to be a Mysterious Turtle that had lived through countless eons, others seemed to be a Giant Ape capable of moving mountains, and yet others looked like a powerful Barbaric Ox that could shatter rivers and mountains...

With these nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills surfacing, the air around her uncontrollably surged wildly, a mixture of brutal, fierce, and cunning wild auras spreading out.

Although Xia Congyun was very famous in the Eastern Border, she spent most of her time cultivating within the Flowing Light Sect, and few had seen her in action. Many people here were even seeing her Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills for the first time, feeling their power, and many cultivators exclaimed in shock.

"This aura, just the nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills are this terrifying!"

"No wonder Immortal Xia could defeat a master of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion. I have seen a master of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion in action before, but their aura was not this strong!"

"After Immortal Xia breaks through to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, I can't imagine how terrifying she will become!"

People exclaimed in awe, looking towards Xia Congyun's opponent, the man from the Eastern Wasteland who claimed to be the master of Duo Duo and Zhu Peng. On seeing him, however, people became unsettled.

"What's going on? How come he has not released his Golden Pills?"

"Isn't he a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core? They are about to spar, but he is not releasing his Golden Pills, has he already given up?"

"If he has given up, then why did he agree at the beginning?"

"By doing this, is he showing disrespect towards Immortal Xia?"

"Yes, not releasing his Golden Pills, if that's not disrespect, then what is it?"

Xia Congyun looked at the man opposite, who had not released his Golden Pills; her usually unchanging face finally showed a trace of emotion. Although she did not make a move or even take out her Divine Weapon, she just looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Release your Golden Pills."

Cao Zhen gently shook his head and said, "When it's time for me to release my Golden Pills, I will naturally do so. You don't have to worry about me—just make your move."

He wanted to test, to see how much fighting power he had without releasing his Golden Pills.

Of course, he didn't intend to withhold his Golden Pills forever, for the strength at the Golden Core Stage comes from the Golden Pills. He just wanted to challenge himself.

As soon as Cao Zhen finished speaking, an uproar erupted!

"He actually said he won't release his Golden Pills for now!"

"This is really a challenge!"

"Challenging Immortal Xia at the same cultivation realm!"

"Immortal Xia, don't be polite with him, let him know your strength!"

All the cultivators from the Eastern Border were heated!

Yang Xudong felt like he was going crazy. You're already not her match, yet you're not releasing your Golden Pills? Who do you think you are?

Even the top expert of the Eastern Border wouldn't dare face Xia Congyun without releasing his Golden Pills.

Not releasing Golden Pills, does that even count as being in the Golden Core Stage?

You're courting death, you...

Yang Xudong mentally ranted incessantly, and as he was doing so, suddenly, he froze; in his sight, Xia Congyun's admirable Golden Pills had also been retracted.
