Chapter 4 The Mysterious Master Who Easily Defeated the Palace Master?
"What an arrogant boy." Xiao Ningxue snorted coldly: "If he hadn't just made a scene in the hall, I would have taught him a lesson."
"Forget it, let's not argue with him." Su Chen smiled: "The scenery here is nice, let's enjoy it."
Xiao Ningxue nodded, and her eyes fell on the lake again.
"This Tianxuan Lake is indeed worthy of its reputation. Not only is it rich in spiritual energy, but it also has such a beautiful scenery." She sighed.
Su Chen smiled and said: "It's rare to have such a quiet place, let's enjoy it."
As he said, the two found a flat grassland, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
For a while, the lake surface was shining with spiritual light, and the fairy air was lingering, like a picture of a fairyland.
…
The news from Tianxuan Mountain quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Two mysterious masters broke in and easily defeated the hall master, and now they are going to stay in Tianxuan Mountain for several days.
For a while, countless cultivators talked about it, full of curiosity and fear of these two uninvited guests.
Some people speculated that they were sent by other sects to cause trouble at the martial arts competition.
Others believed that they were masters who traveled around and were just passing through Tianxuan Mountain.
At the same time, in a secret cave somewhere in Tianxuan Mountain.
"Report to the ancestor, I have found out that the two intruders are named Su Chen and Xiao Ningxue." A man in black robe bowed and reported.
"Oh? Have you found out their origins?" An old voice came from the depths of the cave, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"I have checked the records of all major sects, and there is no information about these two people." The man in black robe shook his head: "But from the strength they have shown, they are definitely not comparable to ordinary cultivators..."
"Well... It seems that this matter is not that simple..." The old man in the cave pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "You go down, continue to keep an eye on their every move, and report at any time if there is any abnormality."
"Yes, ancestor!" The man in black robe took the order and left.
Inside the cave, the old man slowly stood up from the Zen chair, his eyes full of complicated expressions.
"Su Chen... Xiao Ningxue... Are you enemies or friends?"
Three days later in the morning.
When the first rays of morning light fell on Tianxuan Mountain, the entire mountain gate was already noisy.
Hundreds of cultivators in various costumes were waiting in line outside the mountain gate, all of them excited and eager to try.
Today is the day when Tianxuan Mountain holds a martial arts competition!
Countless cultivators came from all directions, all wanting to show their skills and compete for the only spot to enter the legendary Tianxuan Mountain Secret Realm for cultivation!
"There are really many contestants this time."
"That's natural, after all, being able to enter the Tianxuan Mountain Secret Realm for cultivation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"I just don't know who will be the final winner?"
In the crowd, some cultivators gathered in groups of three or two, whispering.
Suddenly, a commotion came from behind the crowd.
"Look, who is that man? His temperament is very special!"
"The woman next to him is also very beautiful, so enviable!"
Everyone looked back and saw a man and a woman walking slowly. The man was handsome and the woman was extremely beautiful. Both of them had extraordinary temperament.
It was Su Chen and Xiao Ningxue!
They appeared at the martial arts competition and immediately attracted the attention and discussion of countless people.
"Who are these two people? Why have I never seen them before?"
"I heard that they broke into Tianxuan Mountain yesterday and made a big fuss. Even the hall master was defeated!"
"What?! The hall master is not their opponent? Then their cultivation is not..."
The discussion in the crowd became louder and louder. Many people looked at Su Chen and Xiao Ningxue with awe and fear.
However, Su Chen and Xiao Ningxue seemed not to notice the commotion around them, and still walked towards the mountain gate slowly.
"Su Chen, what powerful opponents do you think will appear in this martial arts competition?" Xiao Ningxue asked softly.
"Who knows?" Su Chen shrugged, looking indifferent.
"You are always so confident." Xiao Ningxue shook her head helplessly: "Be careful not to lose too badly."
Su Chen smiled when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Xuexue, you know my strength."
"Besides..." He leaned close to Xiao Ningxue's ear, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Even if I lose, you can comfort me~"
"You...!" Xiao Ningxue blushed and glared at him in shame and anger: "Who will comfort you! If you lose, you lose, I don't care about you!"
After saying that, she snorted lightly and quickened her pace to walk forward.
Seeing this, Su Chen's smile deepened, and he was not annoyed, and followed her leisurely.
Soon, the two arrived at the mountain gate.
The gray-robed monks guarding the door saw them coming and bowed hurriedly.
"Please stay, seniors. The martial arts competition has not started yet. Please wait for a moment."
"Oh? Then tell me, how long will it take for it to start?" Su Chen asked impatiently.
"Replying to the seniors, wait for another half an hour, the hall master and several elders will announce the official start of the martial arts competition."
"Half an hour?" Su Chen frowned and said to Xiao Ningxue: "Xuexue, how about we go around first?"
Xiao Ningxue nodded, and the two were about to leave.
"Wait!"
Just then, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
The crowd automatically separated into a path, and a handsome young man in a blue robe strode over, staring at Su Chen coldly.
"Are you the Su Chen who broke into Tianxuan Mountain and made a big fuss yesterday?" the young man asked straight to the point.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows, looked him up and down, and said lightly: "May I know who you are?"
"I am a disciple of Qingyun Sect, my name is Lin Feng." The young man said proudly: "I heard that you made a big fuss in Tianxuan Mountain yesterday, I wonder what your intention is?"
"Hehe, I just passed by here and greeted the people of your Tianxuan Mountain." Su Chen smiled disapprovingly.
"How dare you!" Lin Feng was furious: "Do you think you can come and go as you please in Tianxuan Mountain?!"
"What? Do you want me to greet you?" Su Chen looked at him mockingly.
"You...!" Lin Feng was so angry that he trembled all over, and his eyes wished he could swallow Su Chen.
"Brother Lin, don't bother with him." Another Qingyun Sect disciple hurriedly advised: "This person's origin is unknown, so it's better to be careful."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Su Chen coldly.
"Su Chen, right? I advise you to be more obedient and don't do anything wrong in Tianxuan Mountain! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to the Qingyun Sect!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and left with a group of Qingyun Sect disciples.
"Why is this person so weird? He barked like a dog as soon as he came up, and then turned around and left." Su Chen curled his lips in disdain.
Xiao Ningxue frowned slightly, looking at Lin Feng's back thoughtfully.
