While the outside world was filled with excitement, no one noticed that after losing to Wang Baole, Bai Jia had been sent out of the trial grounds and returned to the Hengqin Sect. At that moment, he walked into Hong Mo's cave.
Hong Mo sat there cross-legged, and there was a calm expression on his beautiful face. His expression was the complete opposite of what the outside world thought. Even though the illusory screen of the trial arena floated in front of him, he didn't seem to care about it. Only when Bai Jia walked up to him did he turn his head to look at him.
As for Bai Jia … he also had a calm expression on his face. It was as if he was a completely different person compared to the crazed expression he had displayed during his battle with Wang Baole. His expression didn't change in the slightest, as if he didn't care about losing at all.
Only the gentleness in the depths of his eyes was undisguised when his gaze met Hong Mo's.
"Did you do that on purpose?" Hong Mo asked softly.
"I was worried that you would be here. I was worried that Yin Xi and the others wouldn't be willing and would push you out … so I planned to personally eliminate you." Bai Jia smiled faintly and sat down beside Hong Mo, gently stroking his head.
"That's why I'm very grateful to this newcomer. Since you're safe, I have no interest in advancing to the Dao. I just … want to be with you."
Hong Mo smiled and leaned against Bai Jia's shoulder. "When I saw that you gave up the right to fight this person, I understood your choice. It's just that … Master …" Hong Mo smiled and leaned against Bai Jia's shoulder.
"She's no longer Master. She's Master." Bai Jia was silent for a long time before he gave a complicated reply. He lifted his head to look at the illusory battlefield of the trial arena and the choices for the top four.
Hong Mo lifted his head and looked at the choices for the top four on the illusory screen. "Shi Lingzi might seem stupid and impulsive, but this time … he seems to have made the same choice as you."
"After so many years, as a Dao Child, it's impossible that he doesn't understand the truth. If he doesn't want to, then unless everyone else doesn't want to, the human side of Master won't force us."
While White Armor and Red Devil were conversing, Wang Baole and Shi Lingzi's bubbles had completely fused together. In the blink of an eye, there were no longer any obstacles between Shi Lingzi and Wang Baole.
He stared at Wang Baole, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Within those eyes, there was sullenness and anger. However, for some unknown reason, when Wang Baole looked at Shi Lingzi, he felt that Shi Lingzi's expression was somewhat deliberate.
"Interesting. Bai Jia is like this, and so is Shi Lingzi …" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and pondered. If all these things were divided into two different premises, then the answers would be completely different.
First of all, if these Daoists didn't know what would happen if they became the champion, then whether it was Bai Jia or Shi Lingzi, their hatred for him surpassed everything else. That was why they would rather give up their qualifications and fight with him.
However, it was clear that … the enmity between them was far from enough. It was also far from reaching the level where they would give up their qualifications to fight. Yet, they had done so.
In that case, there was only one possibility under the other premise.
That was … these Daoists knew what would happen if they became the champion, and they were unwilling to do so. Although there was a tacit understanding between them, they were also wary of each other, worried that they would be pushed out to become the champion.
Therefore, his appearance gave Bai Jia an excuse to use his anger and revenge to cleverly give up his qualifications. As for Shi Lingzi … there was an extremely high possibility that he had the same idea.
"What's even more interesting is the arrangement of my opponents. There seems to be a deliberate intention behind it …"
"Pitiful Tingyu Master, pitiful disciple." Wang Baole sighed softly in his heart. However, this bit of pity wouldn't make him give up on his plan. Everyone's standpoint was different, which led to different ways of doing things.
At that moment, Wang Baole suppressed all his thoughts. He raised his head and looked at Shi Lingzi, who was bristling with anger. It was obvious that Shi Lingzi had also calmed down and was acting more naturally. He rushed toward Wang Baole and roared furiously.
"It's you! I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Shi Lingzi's speed wasn't particularly fast. He seemed to be extremely angry. He even performed hand seals, causing countless notes to appear around him. They formed a movement and transformed into the shadows of weapons. He looked very powerful.
However, Wang Baole wasn't sure if it was an illusion or not, but at that moment, he seemed to see another sentence in Shi Lingzi's eyes.
"Hurry up and make your move. Hurry up and hit me. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up …"
This made Wang Baole feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. He felt like he was being used. Therefore, he raised his eyebrows and prepared to test whether or not it was his judgment. Therefore, his expression changed greatly, and he put on a hesitant and hesitant posture. His body flew backward rapidly, and at that moment, words came out of his mouth.
"Dao Child, there is no need for you to give up your right. Please be my witness. For this round, I choose to …"
As soon as Wang Baole spoke, before he could finish, Shi Lingzi, who was opposite him, widened his eyes. He seemed to be anxious, afraid that Wang Baole would finish his sentence. Therefore, he suddenly let out a shrill scream. It was as if he had crashed into an invisible wall, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. All the musical notes outside his body collapsed, and the weapons formed by the musical movements also broke into pieces.
As for Shi Lingzi himself, he was sent tumbling backward and landed in the distance.
This scene immediately caused an uproar among the cultivators of the three sects in the outside world.
"What kind of musical technique is that?!"
"That guy is actually so strong!"
"They haven't even touched each other, and this is just the beginning."
Wang Baole didn't know about the uproar in the outside world, but he was also speechless at the moment. It was just a test, but he had already confirmed his previous judgment. Looking at Shi Lingzi's exaggerated acting skills, he felt even more disgusted. That was especially so when he saw Shi Lingzi struggling to get to his feet and opening his mouth to say something …
There was no need for him to speak. Wang Baole could guess that he would definitely say something like admitting defeat. Therefore, he gave a cold harrumph and directly activated the superimposed musical notes in his body to display some of their power.
In the next moment, as a popping sound was heard, and as Shi Lingzi had a complicated expression on his face, the void around Wang Baole began to vibrate. The aura of the musical note appeared directly in front of Shi Lingzi and exploded.
Shi Lingzi's mouth was wide open, and he didn't have time to close it. His body was hit by the aura, and he was instantly sent tumbling backward. Blood sprayed out of his mouth, and he was clearly a little irritable. It seemed that his temper was rising, and he was about to lose control of himself.
However, Wang Baole also felt sick of it. Therefore, he blinked and shouted.
"For this round, I concede …"
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Lingzi trembled. He suppressed the anger in his heart and hurriedly shouted.
"I concede!"
The disciples of the three sects in the outside world, no matter how stupid they were, could faintly see some clues at this moment, and strange expressions appeared on their faces.
