Chapter 566 Targeted
[Wow, I didn't even notice! There are definitely a lot more now. The cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect make up 30% of the list. That's outrageous!]
It was initially said that many Lingyun Sect cultivators were on the list, but if you take a closer look, you'll find that quite a few Lingyun Sect cultivators have successfully made it onto the list.
It's true, the Free and Unfettered Sect usually keeps a low profile, but they become this powerful in crucial moments?
I only know that Hongmu and Long Aotian from the Xiaoyao Sect are a bit powerful; I have no recollection of the other cultivators.
Rankings 35, 37, 48, 60... are all from the Free and Unfettered Sect!
Compared to those behind, look at the top ten of the Heroes Ranking. Not only are Jiang He and Long Aotian on the list, but also Li Ling, Zhong Liyu, and Bai Zhizhou—they're all there.
Is this for real? You succeeded in one challenge?
Is the Xiaoyao Sect really that powerful? I still don't know their cultivation level.
Hongmu's cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul stage, and Long Aotian is also at the Nascent Soul stage, but only at the late Nascent Soul stage. As for Bai Zhizhou... damn, he's also at the Nascent Soul stage!
Wow, it seems the Free and Unfettered Sect has a lot of Nascent Soul stage cultivators!
Li Ling, Zhong Liyu, Linghu Yan, Hua Xi, Shangguan Linghu... all of them are at the Nascent Soul stage.
: ...?
:???besides?
666, the Free and Unfettered Sect must be swarming with Nascent Soul cultivators!
Before the sect competition, I really didn't know anything about the Free and Unfettered Sect. Could they be a dark horse?
It seems...possibly. Just look at the cultivators listed in the Sword Cultivation Field and Magic Cultivation Field of the Free and Unfettered Sect. There are a huge number. Looking at them, three out of every ten are listed.
Oh, could this be cheating?
Absolutely impossible. The rankings are already in their third round; there's no way to cheat there.
Don't be surprised yet, I've discovered something even more surprising. Do you remember the Weapon Sect?
I remember, it was an old sect, but its geographical location was not good and the sect's annual publicity was not strong, so it declined for many years.
This week's Sword Cultivator Ranking also includes the Weapon Cultivator Sect...
It's not surprising that one or two people are on the list. Xia Dong of the Weapon Sect has a unique style of swordsmanship, and many sword cultivators have even joined the Weapon Sect to become Xia Dong's disciples.
Not just one or two, but several, a total of six people!
:ah???]
Big Knife grinned, showing his big teeth.
"Haha, how come everyone's gotten so bad this year? I never thought I'd make the list."
"Hehe, I'm joining in too." Greatsword chuckled as well.
The cultivators of the Weapon Sect have made rapid progress in their cultivation over the past few months, and they all know that it is the spiritual food from the Free and Unfettered Sect that has played a role.
After eating and drinking for free for quite some time, their cultivation level increased rapidly. The other cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect, including Da Dao Da Jian, realized that as their cultivation level rose, they could defeat more cultivators. They originally just wanted to challenge them casually, but unexpectedly, they actually succeeded.
The sight of the swollen broadsword was unpleasant to cultivators from other sects.
The Weapon Sect and the Free and Unfettered Sect are located close to each other, and cultivators from the two sects exchange ideas with each other.
The cultivators of Lingyun Sect had long been unaccustomed to their behavior.
"The list of sword cultivators includes both Lingyun Sect and Weapon Sect. The two sects are also close. I remember what was going on online a while ago, it was quite a big deal."
"The heretical cultivators of the Free and Unfettered Sect, huh?"
"Yes, all the cultivators in the Free and Unfettered Sect eat the flesh of demons. What else could they be but evil cultivators? I suspect that their sect has used the methods of other evil cultivators to raise their cultivation to what it is now. And the Weapon Sect is close to the Free and Unfettered Sect. Who knows if the two sects have been exchanging information?"
"Oh right, so both the Free and Unfettered Sect and the Weapon Sect practiced that evil cultivation method, which is why their cultivation levels increased so rapidly?"
Absolutely.
"Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense. How can a cultivator's cultivation level increase so quickly? And it's too much of a coincidence that the two sects are so close to each other."
The Lingyun Sect cultivators' conversation was not kept secret from others, and the other sects immediately changed their gaze towards the Xiaoyao Sect and the Weapon Sect after hearing it.
I used to envy the cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect Master, because there were just as many Nascent Soul stage cultivators as there were in major sects.
However, if the cultivation level was obtained through some evil method, then it's better to discard it.
As we all know, most evil cultivators use secret techniques that either deplete their cultivation or their lives. It's not worth sacrificing one's life for temporary cultivation.
Those who practice evil cultivation often have short lives.
Jin Dazhu was still snatching food from Zhong Liyu's mouth when he turned around and saw the strange looks from the others.
His gaze held a mixture of disdain, disgust, contempt, and pity.
Zhong Liyu glanced over and realized that the cultivators from other sects seemed to be looking not only at Jin Dazhu, but also at their Xiaoyao Sect.
The way they look at him is like a pie chart, it's really quite complicated. I don't know what they're sympathizing with. Are they sympathizing with him that he'll have meat for his next meal?
Zhong Liyu was puzzled.
The cultivators who came and went looked at the Xiaoyao Sect with particularly unfriendly eyes, partly due to the influence of the Lingyun Sect, and partly because they came specifically to see what was so special about the Xiaoyao Sect, and why so many of its cultivators were on the list, while their own sects had a pitifully small number of people on the list.
"The Free and Unfettered Sect doesn't seem to have anything special about it."
"There are so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators. That's almost the same as the major sects. Before, everyone said that the Free and Unfettered Sect was a nobody sect, but after the sect competition, it has transformed. I always feel that it is a bit too high for me."
"Haha, I should still be able to reach that level. Not long ago, Hongmu from the Xiaoyao Sect posted a recruitment video online. Now that I have some faith, they're giving me top-grade pills as soon as I join. I really want to defect from my sect and join the Xiaoyao Sect."
"good idea."
"Are you guys discussing the cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect who made the list? I think the Free and Unfettered Sect's glory is only temporary. You'll see how they perform later. There are still several rounds to go, and everyone still has points to use. They'll definitely choose to challenge the cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect. It would be funny if they were to be attacked and succeeded in the rankings immediately after making the list."
"That's true, it all comes down to who has the last laugh."
The third round of the ranking challenge has continued uninterrupted, with many cultivators starting the second round of point consumption.
When many cultivators saw those on the Xiaoyao Sect's list, just as the others had said, they quickly turned their attention to the Xiaoyao Sect.
Li Ling raised his sword and, like swinging a hammer, struck his opponent on the head:
"You think you can fight me with this level of strength? Who gave you the courage?"
Li Ling suddenly had many more challengers, and Zhong Liyu was almost the same. He stared intently at the cultivators attacking the arena.
Zhong Liyu doesn't have Jiang He's strength, but fighting three against three can still save some time.
Not to mention those like Helian Fenghua, who are still in the late Nascent Soul stage; the number of opponents behind them is even greater than the number of challengers Jiang He faced in the second round.
"Sis, I suspect we're being targeted?"
"There's no doubt about it, they're being targeted."
"Ah..."
