Chapter 607 Qingxiao Sword Sect
Ranran was just a bystander, but she still couldn't help but feel excited about what happened in Zhongzhou thousands of years ago.
To be precise, the one who made her heart surge was Master Qingxiao.
She trembled with excitement at her own unyielding strength.
Although she was excited to hear that, Ranran still had her sanity intact and there was one detail that made her feel confused.
"The challenge period for the Master Ranking will eventually end, and I don't believe that the host alliance at that time would not think of stopping the challenge and directly sending people to kill him."
"Shen Yanwen, you are really both smart and silly." The saint smiled, and against the grand backdrop of the martial arts arena, her beauty carried a sense of solemnity.
Ranran guessed that perhaps she was moved by this story that happened thousands of years ago, so she had a completely different feeling when she looked at the saint again.
Even though Master Qingxiao achieved victory after victory, it still could not change the heavy nature of this story.
This heaviness has settled in Ranran's heart over thousands of years.
"Am I smart or stupid now?"
"Of course you are smart." The saint girl didn't care what Luo Haocang was saying to Gu Qingjue below the stage, nor did she care whether the upcoming host alliance army was real or fake.
Her fearless leisure and casualness reminded Ranran of the powerful Qingxiao Zhenren who lived thousands of years ago.
Ranran believed that True Person Qingxiao must have had moments like the Saint who looked down on everything, because she was already so powerful that she was unrivaled, so it was reasonable for her to have an arrogant attitude.
But True Man Qingxiao is completely different from the Saint. In comparison, the Saint is really lucky. She has been raised by the Demon Lord since birth, and is second only to the Demon Lord.
The saint's growth environment is absolutely safe, she just needs to grow freely.
The strength of True Man Qingxiao was the result of countless trials and tribulations, which is probably why the Saint said that True Man Qingxiao is the miracle.
The Saint continued, "You were able to notice this in such a short time, which shows that you have a flexible mind."
Ranran pursed her lips and silently swallowed back the words "Then why do you say I'm stupid?". Just like the saint said, her quick thinking had already anticipated the saint's answer.
Because many times her ignorance of this world makes her so stupid that she doesn't belong to this world.
In order to delay the exposure of his identity, Ranran chose to keep his mouth shut.
Saint: "Just as you guessed, all the Liufang-level masters sent by the host alliance were defeated by Qingxiao Zhenren. After learning from their mistakes, they changed their strategy and stopped challenging."
"As long as True Man Qing Xiao has passed the challenge period of the master list, we can just send a senior cultivator from our sect to end True Man Qing Xiao's life."
“But they could never have imagined that the challenge period for Qing Xiao Zhenren would not end until Qing Xiao Zhenren transcended the tribulation and reached the next realm.”
"Why is this?" Ranran was shocked.
The saint just looked at her with a peaceful and tranquil look, and like lightning passing through her brain, Ranran suddenly understood everything in an instant.
"It's those small sects of independent cultivators! Are they using the challenge to protect Master Qing Xiao?"
The Saint smiled, "That's it."
"The host alliance's plan was that no one from the big sects would challenge Qing Xiao Zhenren, so they could take the opportunity to kill him. However, they didn't expect that the plan would be leaked. In a place that the host alliance couldn't see, a force was constantly protecting Qing Xiao Zhenren in secret."
"Until True Man Qing Xiao was promoted to a higher realm, she had been constantly challenged by unknown people from all sides, so she was always in the challenge period. Only those at the Liu Fang stage or below could choose to challenge her, but True Man Qing Xiao was already invincible below the Liu Fang stage at that time."
"I am so lucky to have survived such a disaster."
"Once again, Heaven protected her from those conspiracies and intrigues."
Ranran felt a sore nose and suddenly had the urge to cry.
It's not just the Heavenly Dao that protects True Man Qingxiao. The group of people who secretly care about True Man Qingxiao's movements have made great contributions.
And that group of people were not only protecting True Man Qingxiao, they were also protecting their hope... While being moved, Ranran did not ignore the doubts in the saint's narration.
"Why did the news that the host alliance wanted to kill Qing Xiao Zhenren leak out? Could it be that one of them..."
The Saint looked at Ran Ran with satisfaction, acknowledging her intelligence. "Not everyone can be as cold-blooded as those conspirators. Even if you are not her follower, you will be moved after seeing the situation of True Man Qing Xiao at that time."
The Saint's voice was indifferent, "It is said that whenever True Man Qing Xiao appeared in front of people, he would be covered with scars."
"Those big sect defenders from the host alliance didn't give her a chance to breathe."
“When things are taken too far, there will always be discordant voices within the group.”
“Although those voices were suppressed, the power in the voices did not disappear. That power turned into darkness and, together with those small sects of scattered cultivators, began to protect this newcomer in Central Continent—Master Qing Xiao.”
The Saint smiled and said, "If we continue to divide a group, we will definitely be able to create many factions."
"The faction that ultimately chose to break with the mainstream of the host alliance and resolutely protect Qing Xiao Zhenren is still famous today."
Ran Ran had a flash of inspiration in her mind and blurted out the answer.
"Qingxiao Sword Sect?!"
"That's right. The leader of the entire sect has never changed in thousands of years."
The Saint Girl leaned against the chair and said lazily: "It is Gu Qingjue's master, Xuanyuan Zhenren."
"Now, looking at Central Continent, if we must find someone who can compete with me in terms of cultivation, I'm afraid it's only this Xuanyuan Zhenren, so Gu Qingjue hurriedly invited him here."
"He doesn't know my strength, but he must think that I will be defeated by Xuan Yuan Zhenren."
The Saint pulled the corner of her mouth coldly, "Shen Yanwen, do you understand? He just wants to kill me, what a ruthless person."
“Even though he won’t get what he wants, that’s what he thinks.”
Ranran remained silent. She didn't know how to respond to the Saint's concerns about Gu Qingjue.
The Saint sighed and rubbed her forehead, "I don't want to think about these troubles. It makes me feel comfortable to talk to you."
Ranran's mind was completely too busy to care about these complicated love affairs, and she thought of another point.
"Your Highness, you said before that among the 100 people on the Liufang List, only one may come from a small sect. However, in the process of protecting Qingxiao Zhenren, many Liufang-level masters have emerged from small sects..."
The saint placed her white fingertips on Ranran's forehead. For a moment, Ranran almost thought that the finger was pointing at the red mark on her real forehead.
The saint's action made her tremble all over, as if she had just woken up from ice water.
"It's not that the small sects don't have the strength to compete with the big sects, but they are afraid of the power of the big sects and dare not expose themselves."
"It's like an elephant tied up with chains since childhood. It has no ability to resist when it is young, so it forms a habit. Even if it has the ability to resist when it grows up, it no longer has the idea or motivation to resist."
The Saint was slightly surprised. "Elephant? What is that?"
Ranran laughed. She was so serious in her words that she forgot for a moment the differences between species in each world.
"It is an animal that will grow into a giant beast when it reaches adulthood. If you can't imagine it, you can regard it as any spiritual beast or demon beast."
"That seems to be the truth." The Saint Girl pondered, "Once a spirit beast or demon beast is tamed in its infancy, it will no longer think of rebelling even if it has the power to rebel against its master when it grows up."
The Saint looked at Ran Ran in surprise, "But you actually compared those small sects of independent cultivators to beasts?"
Ran Ran did not comment, just said.
"Humans are animals with higher perception abilities."
