Although Lu Xuan had transformed the elemental armor into the Ice Crystal Armor, Nangong Shuo still didn't believe it. He had been in the Profound Ice Pavilion for so many years, how could he not know the power of the Ice Crystal Armor? Not to mention one Ice Crystal Armor, even three Ice Crystal Armors might not be able to reach the effect of Lu Xuan's dark gold armor.
Nangong Shuo frowned and said, "Martial Nephew Lu, this might not be the Ice Crystal Armor, right? Most of the defensive martial skills under the heavens seem to be similar, there must be some other profound mysteries? "
Lu Xuan's expression suddenly became serious and he said, "What does Elder Nangong mean by that? What martial skills I have is my own business, right? I've already shown everyone that this is the Ice Crystal Armor. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Martial Skill Pavilion and check if I borrowed an Ice Crystal Armor manual a month ago. Could it be that Elder Nangong wants me to make a martial skill appear out of thin air and give it to you? "
Pausing for a moment, Lu Xuan then ridiculed, "It's clearly a set of Ice Crystal Armor, why does it have such power in my hands? But the power that you've cultivated is only average. Elder Nangong doesn't find fault with you, but instead finds fault with me. How laughable."
Lu Xuan's sudden provocation immediately stunned all the elders and disciples present. Not to mention the direct disciples, even Su Chuanan had to be polite when speaking to Nangong Shuo. They couldn't remember how many years it had been since someone had dared to speak to Nangong Shuo so rudely.
Nangong Shuo's face was red with anger. He didn't show his emotions, but that didn't mean he wouldn't get angry. If he remained calm after being ridiculed by Lu Xuan, then others would only think that he had really aged and was no longer as mighty as he was in the past!
"Impudent! Who told you to speak to me like that? A dignified disciple dares to offend an elder? Do you really think that I won't dare to punish you?! "Nangong Shuo suddenly slammed his hand on the chair and roared.
A loud sound reverberated through the hall. However, before this sound faded away, an even louder sound rang out. It was Zhao Ying. She slammed the table and stood up. She stared straight at Nangong Shuo and said, "How do you want to punish me? Why don't you try!"
Zhao Ying's blatant opposition to Nangong Shuo once again shocked everyone. Zhao Ying had been in the position of one of the three great elders for many years, but the feeling that she gave everyone was that she was dispensable and her presence was very weak. She usually stayed quietly in Yunxuan Hall and did not show her face much. Everyone mentioned Zhao Binger more often than Zhao Ying.
However, Zhao Ying, who had always been calm, suddenly exploded. This was even more shocking than Nangong Shuo's outburst.
But this time, Nangong Shuo didn't seem to want to give Zhao Ying any face. Lu Xuan had just defeated three of his disciples in a row, and even Wan Jianfei had been defeated by Lu Xuan. Nangong Shuo had been suppressing his anger for a long time, and now he wanted to take this opportunity to vent it out.
Nangong Shuo stared at Zhao Ying with a burning gaze and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Ying, is this the disciple you taught? He has no respect for his elders and is going against his superiors! "
"Going against my superiors? What are you talking about? Could it be that Lu Xuan isn't speaking the truth? As the great elder, you actually forced a disciple to hand over his own martial technique. Is this how magnanimous you are as the great elder? You clearly knew that Lu Xuan was using the Ice Crystal Armor, yet you still refused to let him go. Let's not talk about the fact that Lu Xuan doesn't have any unique martial techniques. Even if he did, why would he tell you? There are so many elders here, which of them doesn't have their own unique martial techniques? Even you, Nangong Shuo, have collected quite a number of martial techniques. If you want to hand them over, why don't you just hand them over? Let's not talk about other things. Just take the Ice Words Sword Art and Melody of Ten Thousand Swords that Wan Jianfei used earlier. You can turn them into manuals and place them in the Martial Technique Pavilion. "
Zhao Ying's merciless reprimand caused Nangong Shuo to be speechless. He was indeed in the wrong in this matter, but he couldn't back down. From the start of the personal disciples battle until now, he had never personally made a move. It had always been the disciples of his sect appearing. Even if he lost a few rounds, it wouldn't have too much of an impact. But now, he had personally stepped out. If he didn't suppress Zhao Ying and Lu Xuan, he would truly lose a lot of face.
"It doesn't matter if he hands over his martial technique or not. I didn't force Lu Xuan to hand over his martial technique. I was merely discussing it with him. However, it is a fact that he offended me. If any random disciple dares to reprimand an elder, where is the dignity? Where are the rules? Today, Lu Xuan must be punished by me! "Nangong Shuo avoided the main point and dwelled on the trivial. He grabbed onto Lu Xuan's offense and didn't let it go.
Zhao Ying's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of sternness. She stared at Nangong Shuo and spoke, "Since when is it your turn to interfere with my sect's disciple? If you want to discipline him, then let's settle the old and new scores together!"
Just as everyone was wondering what Zhao Ying meant by her words, Zhao Ying paused for a moment and spoke again, "I haven't sparred with you for many years. Today, I would like to exercise a little and see if you have the qualifications to discipline my disciple."
Once these words were spoken, many of the disciples' eyes instantly lit up. Elder Zhao was going to challenge Elder Nangong. A battle between two peak stage Origin Realm experts was an extremely rare sight. To them, the battle between Lu Xuan and Wan Jianfei was already considered very high-end. But if Zhao Ying were to fight with Nangong Shuo, it would be an entire realm higher. Although they might not be able to see anything with their experience, it was still good to watch the show.
Nangong Shuo's heart shivered. He had been maintaining his peak stage Origin Realm strength all these years and didn't have any breakthroughs. But as he grew older, his condition was no longer as good as before. On the other hand, Zhao Ying was at the peak stage of a martial artist. If he were to fight with Zhao Ying, his chances of victory might not be high. If he won, it would be fine. But if he lost, the prestige he had built up over the years would be swept away.
After Su Chuanan was slightly stunned, he was immediately overjoyed. Zhao Ying's uncharacteristically high profile made Su Chuanan extremely happy. His strength wasn't as good as Nangong Shuo's, so he naturally didn't dare to provoke him. However, Zhao Ying wasn't like that. If Su Chuanan had to judge the chances of victory between the two of them, he would undoubtedly believe in Zhao Ying.
Nangong Shuo was already old, and he had not been concentrating on cultivation these past few years. Most of his heart was focused on Leng Qingqiu, while Zhao Ying was immersed in meditation in the Yunxuan Hall. How could Nangong Shuo be Zhao Ying's match when the two of them advanced and retreated?
However, even though Su Chuanan was overjoyed, he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to console them: "Elder Zhao and Elder Nangong don't have to get angry over such a small matter. Why don't we all sit down and discuss, there's no need to make a move. Furthermore, Elder Nangong has been working hard for the sect all these years and doesn't have time to meditate.
When Nangong Shuo heard this, he coldly glared at Su Chuanan. Su Chuanan seemed to be advising him, but the meaning behind his words was that Nangong Shuo's strength wasn't as good as before, and he wasn't Zhao Ying's match at all.
However, Nangong Shuo had already reached a dead end, so he couldn't refuse. He stood up and slowly said: "Since that's the case, then let me see the results of your cultivation during this period of time!"
Nangong Shuo accepted the challenge!
Everyone in the main hall immediately became excited. Not only the disciples, even the elders were filled with a trace of anticipation. Before this, the disciples could only watch the excitement, but they could now see the method. If they could gain some inspiration from the battle between Zhao Ying and Nangong Shuo, it might be the key to a breakthrough.
Zhao Ying wasn't afraid of Nangong Shuo at all. Her greatest confidence came from the complete version of the Profound Ice Heart Sutra that Lu Xuan had given her!
Although she had only cultivated the complete version of the Profound Ice Heart Sutra for a month, all the doubts that she had accumulated during her cultivation in the past had all been answered. It was like a bottle. In the past, Zhao Ying had only filled the bottle with stones, but now, countless grains of sand had been poured into the cracks, filling it to the brim. How could her current strength be compared to before?
However, at this moment, Leng Qingqiu, who had never been born, suddenly said: "Master, Elder Zhao, the two of you don't have to hurt the harmony between you two. Why don't you let this disciple serve in a battle between masters?"
Leng Qingqiu's words broke the tense atmosphere in the main hall. However, everyone was puzzled. Could it be that Leng Qingqiu wanted to fight with Zhao Bing`er? Everyone knew that Leng Qingqiu and Zhao Bing`er were the two most talented direct disciples of the Profound Ice Pavilion, but no one knew who was stronger. However, many people were more inclined towards Leng Qingqiu.
After all, Leng Qingqiu was already at the third level of the Origin Realm, which was the peak of the early stage of the Origin Realm, while Zhao Bing`er was only at the second level of the Origin Realm. Not everyone could be like Lu Xuan and ignore the difference in cultivation realms. Furthermore, Zhao Bing`er and Leng Qingqiu were both genius disciples and couldn't be measured as ordinary disciples.
Nangong Shuo's heart was slightly moved. He was rather moved by Leng Qingqiu's suggestion. Leng Qingqiu against Zhao Bing`er would definitely have a higher chance of winning than him against Zhao Ying.
Leng Qingqiu also had his own plans. He didn't want Nangong Shuo to lose even more than Nangong Shuo. Only when Nangong Shuo stood firm would he have the chance to compete for the next Pavilion Master position. If Nangong Shuo's prestige was swept to the ground, the one who would suffer the most would be him, so he had no choice but to stand up.
Zhao Bing`er gracefully took a step forward, looked at Leng Qingqiu and said, "Then let me have a taste of your skills. If you win, I'll have Lu Xuan hand over the martial skill. If you lose, I want you to apologize to him!"
Hearing Zhao Bing`er's words, many disciples had mixed feelings. Zhao Bing`er was standing up for her man. This Lu Xuan was really lucky. Not only was he so strong, he was also able to obtain Zhao Bing`er's affection. It really made people envious and jealous.
However, they could also see that Zhao Bing`er was very confident. Lu Xuan's martial skill was extremely powerful and was definitely incomparably precious. It was impossible for him to hand it over so easily. If that was the case, only if Zhao Bing`er defeated Leng Qingqiu would they be able to avoid it.
Leng Qingqiu was also extremely jealous in his heart. What abilities did Lu Xuan have to actually make Zhao Bing`er so loyal to him? However, his face didn't reveal the slightest bit of his inner emotions. Instead, he lightly laughed: "Junior Sister Bing`er has misunderstood, I am not talking about fighting with you."
Everyone was startled. What did this mean? Leng Qingqiu wasn't challenging Zhao Bing`er, could it be Lu Xuan?
