Chapter 602 The Duel of the Two Great Fairies
In response to Lin Ping's question, Guo Zhixi nodded and added, "Not only can he not go with you, but he is also not allowed to leave Xuan Yin Peak for three years."
"Xuanyin Peak? Is it also a mountain peak of Lotus Palace? Why have I never seen it before?" Lin Ping asked curiously.
“Xuanyin Peak is located in the abyss between the three peaks. Rather than a peak, it is more like an abyss that has not sunk,” Guo Zhixi continued to explain.
The top of Xuan Yin Peak is hundreds of meters lower than the bottom of the other three peaks, and it is impossible to spot unless you are near the abyss.
As a newly recruited disciple, it's normal that Lin Ping had never heard of Xuan Yin Peak.
The name itself was unpleasant, and Lin Ping always felt that something worse was about to happen.
"To leave Xuan Yin Peak, one must reach the strength of the Red Lotus Realm," Guo Zhixi continued to explain.
The Realm of Red Lotus?
Lin Ping clenched his fists inwardly, knowing full well how difficult it was to reach the Red Lotus Realm.
Even if it takes three years, Jiang Yunying may not be able to leave.
Let alone three years, Lin Ping wouldn't even wait three days.
"No, I must dissuade my wife."
"Once you step onto this stage, you cannot come down on your own unless you are defeated. You are still a criminal and have not yet received your master's forgiveness. You cannot show your face in public like this. You will have to wait here."
Guo Zhixi said earnestly, and before she finished speaking, she rushed toward the arena where Jiang Yunying was.
"Junior sister? How is it you?" Jiang Yunying stared at Guo Zhixi as if she had seen a ghost, countless questions swirling in her mind.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, he's fine. He's watching us secretly. He doesn't want you to become a saintess," Guo Zhixi said calmly.
"Why are you doing this? If I really lose, you will have to suffer for three years," Jiang Yunying advised.
She grew up with Guo Zhixi and knew that Guo Zhixi had no interest in the identity of a saintess.
She was even afraid that Chu Rujun would force her to participate in the competition.
But now, she's actually taking the initiative to compete with Jiang Yunying for Lin Ping's sake.
"If I hadn't come, I might have suffered for the rest of my life," Guo Zhixi said with a bitter smile.
She couldn't resist Lin Ping's longing gaze; if she didn't help him today, she might regret it for the rest of her life.
Three years is neither a short nor a long time.
Perhaps after she descends the mountain, she will have become a princess and possess the strength of the Red Lotus Realm. Why not?
Even if she didn't get Lin Ping, seeing him and Jiang Yunying living happily was enough.
"I won't hold back; you're no match for me," Jiang Yunying said seriously.
She never wanted to fail, and now that Guo Zhixi was involved, she couldn't afford to fail even more.
"Even so, I can't let him down." As she spoke, Guo Zhixi began to make her move, her sharp sword techniques filling the entire arena.
Jiang Yunying showed no mercy, using even sharper sword techniques to defend herself.
All the disciples could hear were clanging sounds and see dazzling sword light.
"Such formidable strength! This is the true Lotus Sword Technique."
"As expected of the two fairies of Cold Moon Peak, they are truly role models for all disciples of Lotus Palace."
"If I could possess such strength, I would have no regrets even if I died."
The Lotus Sword Technique is not only powerful, but also flashy and full of performative elements.
It is precisely because there are too many complicated sword moves that the difficulty of cultivation is increased, thus preventing the mastery of the ultimate sword technique.
Not only the ordinary disciples, but even Lin Ping was dazzled by the sight.
"Senior sister, why are you fighting so desperately?" Lin Ping felt guilty as he watched Guo Zhixi's reckless fighting style.
If Jiang Yunying hadn't intentionally yielded, Guo Zhixi would have been seriously injured long ago.
"Zhiqian, that's enough. You're no match for Yunying. Get down here now," Chu Rujun said, somewhat displeased.
She wasn't biased towards Jiang Yunying, but rather she was well aware of the strengths of both of them.
Guo Zhixi's stubbornness will only hurt herself.
"You've always favored my senior sister since we were little, and even now you're not going to give me a chance?" Guo Zhixi sneered.
She wasn't angry with Jiang Yunying; she was simply using that as an excuse to shut Chu Rujun up.
Chu Rujun, realizing he was in the wrong, said no more.
"You know your master loves you. Aren't you afraid of hurting her by saying these things?" Jiang Yunying asked while fighting.
“Only if she feels guilty towards me will she not refuse my request,” Guo Zhixi said without any hesitation.
She even begged Chu Rujun to forgive Lin Ping, and he persuaded Jiang Lanfeng to deliberately make Chu Rujun feel guilty.
“That’s enough. My husband knows you’re no match for me. Even if you pretend to lose, he won’t be able to tell,” Jiang Yunying continued to remind him.
"Even if you can deceive your junior brother, you can't deceive my heart. Today, even if it costs me my life, I will defeat you."
Guo Zhixi said defiantly.
"Compared to you, I am not worthy of my husband's love," Jiang Yunying thought to herself, but quickened her pace.
After unleashing her full power, Jiang Yunying immediately gained the upper hand and ultimately knocked Guo Zhixi off the stage with a single palm strike.
"Junior sister, are you alright?" Jiang Yunying asked with concern.
In order to knock Guo Zhixi off the stage, she used considerable force in that palm strike.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her," Guo Zhixi said remorsefully.
Upon learning that Guo Zhixi was not seriously injured, Jiang Yunying finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"
"I want to challenge Senior Sister!" Lin Ping's loud voice echoed throughout the entire Lotus Palace.
"Lin Ping? How is it him? Wasn't he imprisoned on Cold Moon Peak?"
Of course, everyone looked on in surprise when they saw it, though their inner thoughts differed.
Most of the onlookers thought he was imprisoned inside Cold Moon Peak.
A few insiders were curious as to why he would come back, thinking it was like walking into a trap.
"Senior sister, I challenge you. Make your move," Lin Ping said seriously.
He would do anything to see Jiang Yunying again.
"Why? Why? Why did you come back?" Jiang Yunying asked, her heart aching.
Jiang Mo's identity has become an open secret. Lin Ping went up the mountain with him, so naturally they are inextricably linked, making it easy for others to find fault with him.
"That's the question I should be asking you," Lin Ping asked expressionlessly.
"Junior Sister Chu, what's going on? How did this kid escape from Cold Moon Peak?" Tang Jianshan stepped forward and questioned.
"This..." Chu Rujun stammered. She had originally intended to keep this a secret, but she hadn't expected Lin Ping to come back on his own initiative, which would really give her a difficult problem.
“Lin Ping has been imprisoned for a sufficient period of time. Since you cannot produce any evidence that he is a disciple of another sect, he should naturally be released,” Chu Rujun argued.
There should be limits to suspicion. We can't imprison Lin Ping for life just because of their suspicions.
Chu Rujun's actions were not particularly egregious.
“Evidence? I am the evidence! I personally heard Jiang Mo claim to be a disciple of Chiyang Pavilion that day. Lin Ping entered the mountain with him, and their sword moves were exactly the same. If he wasn’t a disciple of Chiyang Pavilion, then what was he? Du Tianhong from the Enforcement Hall can also testify!” Gu Qingyun jumped out and pointed at his nose.
