Chapter 1963: Bai Ruanqing Arrives

The courtyard at the top of the inner sect mountain.

Wang Jiandong opened his eyes, his head spinning with dizziness.

"The feeling of having one's head chopped off is really not pleasant..."

He adjusted his breathing, recovered, and smiled bitterly.

In inner sect battles, he had always been the one to behead others. Having grown up, this was the first time he had his head cut off. Although in the Divine Communication Hall it wouldn't cost him his life, the psychological pressure at that moment still made his heart pound.

"Although I lost a Divine Communication talisman, Senior Brother Lu Jie should have seen some problems and have a chance to defeat him!"

Soon, he regained his confidence.

He deeply admired Senior Brother Lu Jie, the top inner sect disciple.

Over the years, no matter how powerful techniques he learned or how strong attacks he unleashed, they were like a child's efforts before him, utterly ineffective.

In other words...

The other's strength was unfathomable!

It was like you scoring 99 points while the top student scored 100; the gap wasn't just one point, but... the paper only had 100 points, and the top student's true strength was far beyond that.

With such a strong person having seen the opponent's moves in advance, killing him would be a piece of cake, right?

Dong dong dong!

Just as he was sighing, a knock came from outside the courtyard.

"Who's coming at this hour?"

Showing a hint of confusion, Wang Jiandong stood up and walked out.

This was Senior Brother Lu Jie's courtyard. Normally, he shouldn't overstep his bounds, but now the senior brother was immersed in the Divine Communication Hall, killing that arrogant 'I Am Very Low-Key,' so he had to answer the door.

Creak!

The courtyard door opened, and several inner sect disciples bowed their heads and looked over tremblingly: "Senior Brother Lu, please calm down, we didn't mean to disturb..."

Before finishing, they saw clearly who was in front of them and smiled awkwardly: "So it's Senior Brother Wang. Is Senior Brother Lu available?"

"What's the matter?"

Wang Jiandong frowned.

These people, in the inner sect, couldn't even rank in the top thousand. Although he knew them, he had never interacted with them. Why were they coming to find Senior Brother Lu now?

"Senior Brother Lu is the top inner sect disciple with great influence. We wanted to trouble him with a matter..." Blushing, the inner sect disciple who had spoken earlier quickly said.

"No time!"

Unexpectedly hearing such a request, Wang Jiandong's face darkened and he was about to close the door.

If the top inner sect disciple helped every ordinary disciple who came asking, what prestige would he have?

This precedent absolutely could not be set.

"No time? Quite the airs! Are inner sect disciples this impressive now?"

Before the door closed, a voice sounded. Wang Jiandong quickly looked up and saw a voluptuous woman walking over with displeasure on her face.

"Senior Sister Bai..."

Recognizing her, Wang Jiandong's brows twitched, and he quickly clasped his fists in greeting.

The person appearing before him was none other than the notorious female tyrant among the core disciples, Bai Ruanqing!

Among the core disciples, her strength wasn't the highest, nor her talent the strongest, but she had a formidable grandfather, Elder Bai Ye, one of the sect's three great elders!

Although Elder Bai had been injured recently, his status remained, and no one dared to underestimate him.

Because of this, Bai Ruanqing had injured many core disciples, yet no one dared to do anything to her; instead, they all kept their distance and didn't dare to speak rashly.

He had little interaction with her usually. Why was she suddenly coming now?

"I came to ask Lu Jie to help find an inner sect disciple. Can he do that?" Bai Ruanqing snorted.

"Senior Sister Bai, just give your orders. Senior Brother Lu and I won't refuse..." Wang Jiandong quickly nodded.

He dared not refuse!

What if she got angry and kicked his manhood to pieces... he would have to endure it!

Not to mention inner sect, even core sect, no one would reason with you.

"Senior Sister, please come in..."

Entering the courtyard, they sat down. Wang Jiandong asked curiously: "Which blind inner sect disciple offended Senior Sister? Just say the word, and I'll have someone investigate immediately..."

"I need him for something."

Bai Ruanqing frowned, didn't explain, and flicked her finger. A portrait appeared in her palm: "This is what he looks like!"

Not only was she highly skilled in cultivation, but she was also a master of painting, having drawn Zhang Xuan's likeness vividly and accurately.

"This one?"

Looking at it, Wang Jiandong soon frowned: "Sorry, but... I've never seen him before!"

Having been in the sect for a long time, he knew almost all inner sect disciples, but he had never seen this one.

"You haven't seen him either? What about Lu Jie? Where is he? Have him come out and identify him too!" Bai Ruanqing said.

"Senior Brother Lu is in the Divine Communication Hall, dueling with someone!" Wang Jiandong quickly replied.

"Dueling?" Bai Ruanqing frowned slightly: "Isn't he the top inner sect disciple? Who is he dueling with in the Divine Communication Hall?"

The top inner sect disciple going to the Divine Communication Hall would be a crushing victory, right? Who could beat him?

"With an arrogant guy called 'I Am Very Low-Key'... but it doesn't matter. Once Senior Brother makes his move, he'll surely kill him..."

Smiling, Wang Jiandong hadn't finished speaking when he heard the sound of a stool falling inside the room. He quickly looked up and saw Senior Brother Lu Jie walking out, pale-faced.

"Senior Brother..."

He quickly stood up, and the other inner sect disciples also rose.

"Are you Lu Jie?"

Bai Ruanqing looked over.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Bai..."

Lu Jie quickly clasped his fists.

"Senior Brother, how did it go? Did you kill that guy?" Wang Jiandong asked curiously.

Lu Jie shook his head: "I was killed."

"You... were killed?" Pupils contracting, Wang Jiandong's eyes widened: "Senior Brother... did you force him to use his ultimate move?"

"This..." Lu Jie smiled bitterly: "I charged over, and he split me in two with one sword strike... then I died."

"Split in two with one strike?"

Wang Jiandong was dumbfounded.

He admitted he was no match, but this was Senior Brother Lu, the top inner sect disciple... and he too was killed with one sword strike...

Who the hell was this guy?

Where did he come from?

"What's going on?"

Now sensing something was wrong, Bai Ruanqing looked over in confusion.

"Reporting to Senior Sister Bai, it's like this..."

Lu Jie detailed what had happened.

"Someone is throwing their weight around in the inner sect Divine Communication Hall, challenging all you inner sect disciples?" Bai Ruanqing was stunned: "Is there really someone more arrogant than me?"

Too fierce, right?

Inner sect disciples numbered tens of thousands... one person challenging so many, was that for real?

Relying on her grandfather, she was already arrogant enough in the sect, but she didn't expect someone even more arrogant and domineering!

And the key point... being so domineering, he called himself 'I Am Very Low-Key'...

Tough enough!

It was simply the height of arrogance.

"I want to see this guy..." Standing up abruptly, Bai Ruanqing's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

She was called a female tyrannosaurus not only because of her hot temper, but also because she loved fighting and was strong!

Suddenly such a super strong person appeared in the inner sect, easily defeating even the top-ranked disciple, how could she not be tempted to go and try?

"Senior Sister is... a core disciple. Going there would be against the rules..." Lu Jie blushed.

After all, this was a conflict among inner sect disciples. Wouldn't Senior Sister Bai, a core disciple, be overstepping?

"I'll go see if some core disciple is pretending to be an inner sect disciple and causing you trouble!" Bai Ruanqing waved her hand: "And of course, I'll also see what kind of technique he used that made you unable to resist!"

"This..."

Lu Jie was taken aback.

Although he said the opponent couldn't be a core disciple, what if there was such a reckless person?

Senior Sister Bai, as the most notorious female tyrant among core disciples, going to check wouldn't hurt. At least she could see if the opponent's true identity exceeded the inner sect.

If so, the so-called competition would be meaningless.

"Then I'll trouble Senior Sister Bai!"

Understanding this, he said no more, took out two more Divine Communication talismans, kept one for himself, and handed one over.

These items could better disguise one's identity. Ordinary disciples usually carried several on them for emergencies.

Just like a person might have more than one QQ account.

"No trouble. I'll help you see who that guy is, and also find the flaws in his techniques so you can defeat him. In return, you help me find out who this person is..."

Bai Ruanqing nodded: "I don't like owing favors. This way we're even."

"Okay!"

Lu Jie nodded, and together with Wang Jiandong and the others, returned to the Divine Communication Hall.

This time they used different talismans, and their appearances were also different. To prevent being recognized, Bai Ruanqing also changed her appearance.

The three entered the hall, and no one recognized them.

At this moment, the arena was already packed with a sea of people.

Inner sect disciples who hadn't known the news earlier had now gathered around, burning with anger, continuously surging toward the stage.

"How many has he killed so far?"

Seeing more than a dozen people go up on stage at once, only to be killed by 'I Am Very Low-Key' in the blink of an eye, wave after wave like a tide, Lu Jie couldn't help asking an inner sect disciple nearby.

"It should be over two hundred... As soon as they go up, they're killed instantly. No one can last a single exchange! Even Senior Brother Lu Jie was split in two by his sword..."

The inner sect disciple couldn't help saying.

Although they were indignant at this arrogant guy, his strength was truly formidable; they had to admit it!

The top inner sect disciple was easily killed, and others were even less a match... Now they only hoped to notify more people to come in and rely on a human wave tactic to kill him completely.

"Over two hundred?"

Lu Jie's brows jumped.

How long had he been gone? Three minutes? Five minutes?

This guy had killed another hundred seventy or eighty people?

Damn!

Did he have to be this fierce?

Inner sect disciples were like ants in front of him, no different!

"Senior Sister Bai, is this... a core disciple in disguise?"

Unable to hold back, he looked at Bai Ruanqing beside him.

"This..."

After watching for a while, Bai Ruanqing couldn't help shaking her head: "You people can't force him to use his ultimate move. I... can't tell."
