"Where is Bai Haoran?!"
Li Qiansun's sharp gaze swept across the entire venue, suddenly intensifying his tone.
However, after waiting for a while, there was still no response.
So, Li Qiansun had no choice but to skip the na "Bai Haoran" and continue calling the roll.
After a mont.
After finishing the roll call, Li Qiansun scanned the audience below and asked again, "Is Bai Haoran present?"
But there was still no response.
Li Qiansun was silent for a mont, then said, "In half a quarter of an hour, we will open the Vast Heaven Scroll. Anyone not present at that ti will be considered to have voluntarily forfeited."
As soon as his words fell, the audience outside erupted into a clamor!
In the short span of a month, the na "Bai Haoran" had already beco a topic of discussion among countless cultivators over tea and als. It was said that he was a dark horse who erged suddenly, definitely a top genius cultivated by so hidden sect.
He had walked out of the Sword Forest in less than an hour and even defeated fifty-six champions, attracting the Highland Sword God, Jian Jiu Yang, to seek him out as a disciple!
Among the current generation of prodigies, who could surpass him?
Therefore, countless people were filled with anticipation, eager to see his performance at the Sword Tournant.
However, on this very day, he was late to appear!
This is really a f*cked up situation.
"Damn it, is there so kind of conspiracy here, so bastard causing trouble in the shadows, preventing Bai Haoran from participating in the Sword Tournant?"
"Definitely!"
"Conspiracy, my ass. You think everyone is as dirty as you?"
"Exactly, with the Yu Emperor present, even if Bai Haoran participated, he'd still be nothing!"
"Walking out of the Sword Forest in under an hour is truly impressive, but just walking out of the Sword Forest doesn't represent a person's real strength!"
"Hey, isn't Bai Haoran your daddy? Why are you all kissing his ass like that?"
"Is the Yu Emperor your illegitimate dad then? You all can't wait to sniff his farts!"
"Heh, Bai Haoran and you all are only worthy of sniffing my Yu Emperor brother's farts!"
"....."
At this mont.
In a certain part of the audience area.
Master Ping and a few others were all filled with urgency.
"Sigh, I'm really drunk. This Luo Xiu brat, he's never once let relax!"
Luo Yue looked around and released his divine sense to search, saying, "Master Ping, why don't you go to the inn and take a look?"
Master Ping waved his hand, "Even if I go, it's no use. If he should co, he will co on his own."
"....."
High in the sky.
Seated on a cloud, Jian Jiu Yang stroked his beard, with an expression of contemplation.
"Could it be that sothing really happened to this little guy?"
"Judging by the behavior of those people from the Heaven Azure Empire, they might actually do such a thing."
"....."
On the high platform.
Lao Ba, who stood on Luo Xier's shoulder, was now flapping his wings anxiously.
"My goodness, I'm worried sick, Lao Ba is!"
"This Crown Prince, we agreed to flaunt ourselves today, so why isn't he here?"
Luo Xier was full of black lines, "Shut up, you annoying Lao Ba, can you stop talking?"
"....."
Summit of the Plateau.
In the Saintess Palace.
Luo Qingxian stood at the front of the great hall, looking at the screen of light in the void, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
A few days ago, upon learning that Bai Haoran walked out of the Sword Forest in less than an hour, she also began to pay attention to him.
So, she was particularly interested in seeing Bai Haoran's performance today.
Of course, it wasn't that she was interested in him; she was just hoping Bai Haoran would eliminate Zhu Yu.
Then, a female knight dressed in casual clothes entered the hall and said to Luo Qingxian, "Sister Xian'er, I've investigated, and the people from the Heaven Azure Empire haven't done anything against Bai Haoran in secret."
She added, "And there doesn't seem to be anyone nad Bai Haoran in the entire Lingtian Plateau."
Luo Qingxian slightly furrowed her brows and said, "That's really strange."
"It is quite strange,"
The female knight sighed and said, "Just relying on Xier, I don't know if she can beat Zhu Yu."
"….."
…..
Xian Yu City.
Heavenly Speech Dojo.
Ti trickled by.
Amidst the anxious waiting of countless people, and among the disputes that split countless people into two opposing factions, Li Qiansun on the high platform finally spoke out.
"Ti's up, activate the Vast Heaven Scroll!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it perated the air, filling every corner of the dojo.
As his words fell, the hearts of countless spectators sank to the bottom.
At this mont, Li Qiansun's voice once again resounded throughout the venue: "Bai Haoran has exceeded the ti limit, therefore will be considered to have voluntarily forfei—"
"I'm here."
However.
No one expected that before Li Qiansun could utter the last word, a lazy voice suddenly ca from above the dojo.
Everyone froze for a mont, then turned to follow the voice, only to see "Bai Haoran" flying over slowly, looking utterly exhausted.
Having just completed "Refine Self" in the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, Luo Xiu was already drained, and impersonating Bai Haoran's appearance had delayed him a bit.
After transforming, he then had to drag his worn-out body from Wangjian Town to fly to Xian Yu City, which felt like torture.
But in the end, he managed to arrive on ti.
However, he was truly running on empty now.
With a roar.
Luo Xiu suddenly fell from mid-air to the ground in a very ungraceful manner, causing an uproar of laughter from the spectators.
The Yu Emperor's followers looked at him with the eyes of a clown,
while the Haoran faction's followers grit their teeth, feeling that Bai Haoran had embarrassed them greatly.
"Did this guy not sleep well last night?"
"I bet he spent the whole night plowing fields at the Fragrant Full Tower and rushed here for the Sword Tournant today, huh?"
"Hahahaha....."
"Look at him, all dirty; he really does seem like he just finished plowing fields."
"Heh, what a thing, attending such a grand Sword Tournant in this manner, to say the least, he doesn't even show the most basic respect!"
"Exactly, I suggest he be eliminated straight away!"
"….."
At this mont.
On the high platform.
Li Qiansun looked at the disheveled figure of Luo Xiu who fell to the ground, letting out a cold snort, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.
Then.
Under the gaze of all, Luo Xiu got up from the ground, yawning lazily as he climbed up to the high platform.
With every few steps up the stairs, he had to stop, resting his hands on his knees to catch his breath.
The entire venue was silent.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Luo Xiu as he climbed the platform, they were all drunk with disbelief.
That appearance was that of a laboring old ox just finishing the plowing, making people's toes curl in awkwardness!
The youthful spirit and vigor a young person should have, this kid had none of it!
Finally.
Luo Xiu reached the high platform and walked towards Li Qiansun.
"Bai Haoran, present!"
Li Qiansun said blandly, "Fall in line."
Luo Xiu turned to join the lineup on the side.
And as the young talents saw him approaching, they all avoided him as if he were a plague.
One young talent let out a cold snort as Luo passed him, disdainfully saying, "Just look at you, what a disgrace!"
Luo Xiu halted, gave him a sideways glance, "You keep squawking, I'll make you the first I take down later."
"Hahaha....."
The young talent suddenly laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"I would really wish for nothing more!"
"I, Ma Muyang, have run rampant in the Wushang Realm, and I've never feared anyone! Once we get in there, I'll look for you first!"
"....."
