The actions of Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, were deemed foolish by everyone except Hong Yulong. Yan Dong could be present, but Hong Yulong's presence was unacceptable, especially from the perspective of the World of Mortals or in a position of bullying the weak.
On one hand, this did not align with the interests of the Hong Clan; on the other hand, if Hong Yulong were present at that moment and Jie Donglai were to lose to the Eastern faction, Jie Donglai's challenge would become even more difficult to handle.
As everyone pondered this, Xu Qiaoshui stood up and adjusted her posture in front of the crowd.
Since her brother had lost, it was only natural for her, as his sister, to seek a way to redeem him. Her tone indicated that she was ready to take action.
The reason everyone felt displeased was largely due to Mistake's arrogant demeanor. As two realms were currently at odds, they naturally found Mistake's attitude intolerable. If Xu Qiaoshui did not step forward now, it was likely that after this incident at the mountain gate, the Eastern faction would not fare any better than Che Qiangxuan.
That would be pointless; disciples of the Treasure Pavilion truly had their reputation at stake.
Xu Qiaoshan shook his head repeatedly. Although everyone was curious about why he reacted that way, those who had never witnessed a fight involving Treasure Pavilion disciples would not understand why many preferred to avoid confrontation with Mistake upon hearing the name Treasure Pavilion.
"I don't deny it," he thought. "Because I lost, I want my sister to step in and save face without feeling embarrassed."
After Tiandong City, Xu Qiaoshan's cultivation level stabilized while Dong Lai remained behind. In contrast, Xu Qiaoshui had been the first to break through to the Transcendence Realm.
With that said, Xu Qiaoshui took out a Flying Carpet and leisurely stepped onto it as it floated above the Arena. The onlookers, including Liu Dong, twitched their lips in disbelief while their eyes sparkled with admiration at Xu Qiaoshui's elegant Flying Carpet.
Wasn't that an Eastern Grade Magical Artifact? It must be true; disciples of the Treasure Pavilion were indeed wealthy and extravagant.
"Where is that? It's just the beginning; soon we will have our eyes feasting."
Xu Qiaoshan raised his glass, perhaps to celebrate in advance the victory of his brother in the upcoming competition.
"Disciple of Treasure Pavilion, Xu Qiaoshui, may I ask for your guidance?"
"Disciple of Wusheng Tower, Gu Yuehe, may I ask for your guidance?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Yuehe was the first to strike. Seizing the momentum from just having defeated Xu Qiaoshan, he aimed to swiftly win against Xu Qiaoshui in their battle.
Bu Luo had different thoughts but was also curious about who was facing whom. How could a disciple from Treasure Pavilion not have any defensive artifacts?
Xu Qiaoshui slowly took out a bowl-shaped object, somewhat resembling a monk's alms bowl. He held it above his head, and a faint yellow light enveloped him completely, leaving no openings for Mistake to exploit.
Bu Luo and Gu Yuehe were determined; since they had decided to attack, they showed no signs of stopping. They intended to break through Xu Qiaoshui's defenses with an even more powerful assault.
Bu Luo first covered himself with a turtle shell-like barrier. Xu Qiaoshui was indeed formidable; disciples from Treasure Pavilion never lacked offensive capabilities.
Then, without hesitation, he pulled out a small wooden box intricately carved with a green phoenix. As soon as the box opened, an overwhelming sword aura surged through the red mist, as if a hole had been punched through the sky above.
The Twin Sword Box—who would have thought that this top-tier artifact had fallen into the hands of Treasure Pavilion?
Well-informed Hong Ling recognized that many famous treasures from the World of Mortals were somewhat familiar to him. Ordinary magical artifacts rarely made it into the display cases of Sky's End Tower. Coincidentally, the Twin Sword Box had previously appeared at an auction held by Sky's End Tower.
At this moment, witnessing Xu Qiaoshui's extravagance, not only Gu Ping but even Leng Gucun and Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, from the Super Sect could only sigh in awe.
Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, was currently focused on his master Ke Zhen'e's Azure Wave Vinewood Sword. After so many years in Dong Lai, he had hardly accumulated any magical artifacts. In contrast, Xu Qiaoshui appeared to have an abundance of trump cards at her disposal.
At this moment, two flying swords of Azure Rainbow clashed with the Fist Intent released by Gu Yuehe in mid-air, stirring the spiritual energy around them. Protected by Xu Qiaoshui, who was calm and collected, she methodically pulled out a stack of talismans.
Even Gu Yuehe could not remain composed. Without several magical treasures, relying solely on his innate talent might allow him to barely cope with Yi Dong. However, that chaotic stack of talismans being hurled at him left him uncertain about their effects. If even one or two of them could restrain spiritual energy or control him, he would be left to passively endure attacks.
Gu Yuehe thought about using the Yellow Dragon Bowl to launch a strong attack on Xu Qiaoshui but found it difficult to concentrate fully. He had to fend off the Azure Phoenix Twin Swords while remaining wary of any talismans Xu Qiaoshui might throw his way.
As time dragged on, it became evident that Xu Qiaoshui held the upper hand. After all, Transcendence was at the Peak of Nascent Soul and possessed an overwhelming suppressive force. Even if Mistake had methods to escape Sealing the Heavens, compared to the consumption of spiritual energy and recovery, it was clear that the Transcendent Practitioner had a significant advantage.
In this regard, the Treasure Pavilion's Treasure Control Technique maximized the reserve of spiritual energy in the dantian. During battles with enemies, they need not worry about exhausting their spiritual energy due to an abundance of magical artifacts. This was one reason why disciples of the Treasure Pavilion excelled in competitions; unlike ordinary cultivators who might possess numerous magical treasures but lacked the ability to deploy them effectively, mastering this technique was essential for every disciple of the Treasure Pavilion.
