Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 320 The Genius Senior Brother's Storage Bag

<>

"Second Senior Brother, if you don't reply soon, I'm taking the things."

Before reaching out to touch the things on the table, Huang Zhousheng turned back and whispered something to the person kneeling on the ground.

The person remained unresponsive, showing no sign of aura whatsoever.

The murmurs among the disciples watching from below the arena grew louder.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the person had indeed stopped reacting, Huang Zhousheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to face the three treasures on the table, and slowly stretched out his hand.

"bass--"

The sound of a longsword slicing through the air rang out. Just a second ago, Huang Zhousheng was all smiles as he reached out his hand to his baby. The next second, he was clutching his arm, which had been severed by the longsword, with a look of horror on his face. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and even though he pressed the wound tightly, he could not stop the thick blood from dripping down.

"Second Brother, you..."

Huang Zhousheng looked at the person who was still kneeling, his face turned completely pale with fright. He trembled, and although there was no breath on the person at all, he was so afraid that he kept backing away until he stepped into empty air and realized that he had fallen off the stage.

"clang--"

A gong was struck in the corner of the arena, and the elder in charge of the referee announced expressionlessly: "Seventh Arena, Round 34, Zhengze wins!"

"Second Brother Pig has won again!"

"What...what's wrong with him?"

"Second Senior Brother is still alive?!"

"Even with such severe injuries, he can still activate the flying sword. Just how much willpower does that require!"

The crowd below the arena started discussing again. The disciples with lower strength were happy to watch the excitement, while those with higher strength were considering whether or not to challenge the arena.

The defender of the seventh arena was covered in wounds and appeared to be on the verge of death. Even if he had any strength left, he probably couldn't do anything more. And what he was guarding—once I obtained it, my strength would definitely rise to a whole new level!

After weighing the pros and cons, someone else leaped onto the ring.

Almost the instant the man stepped onto the stage, the man kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head. The headband that bound his long hair had already broken, and his black hair covered most of his face. His fierce eyes were filled with intense killing intent as he stared intently at the man who had stepped onto the stage.

The man was not very brave to begin with, and he had finally mustered up the courage to step into the ring. Now, seeing this, he became very nervous.

"What are you looking at? What are you looking at!" The more guilty the man seemed, the more arrogant his expression became: "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out! Anyway, you're already at your last gasp, I don't believe I can't take you down when I'm at my peak!!"

Hearing his harsh words, Zhengze's eyes remained unmoved, but a chilling killing intent emanated from him. The man shivered and inadvertently took a step back.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, being forced to retreat by a single glance was an unbearable humiliation for the man. The gazes of those around him felt like insults, all painted upon him, instantly igniting the last vestige of his fighting spirit. He gripped the chains binding him tightly with his wrists, and with a sudden flick, the chains spun and hurtled towards Zhengze with a whistling sound.

Zhengze remained kneeling on the ground, his head raised, his eyes unblinking, and his body completely still, as if he were frozen in place.

Faced with the oncoming thick chains, he finally began to react, slowly reaching out to touch the sword that had fallen to the side. A flash of green light appeared, and no one saw how he made the move. A piece of his opponent's chain was cut off and fell to his feet with a clatter.

Having unleashed this sword strike, he had exhausted a great deal of his energy. He vomited another mouthful of blood and was panting heavily. He did not stand up from beginning to end, and a pool of blood had accumulated at his feet, which was spreading outwards.

He looked like he was about to die again, but now no one dared to underestimate him anymore.

The man whose weapon had been broken was stunned for a moment, then realized that his opponent had shown mercy. He quickly picked up the weapon that had fallen to the ground and hurriedly walked off the stage, no longer daring to hope for the reward he would receive after successfully taking the stage.

"Third Elder..." Zhengze, who was swaying on the stage, suddenly spoke, his voice visibly weak and hoarse: "...How much time do we have left?"

The Third Elder, who was in charge of acting as the referee, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his expression showing a hint of disdain: "It'll be soon, three more hours."

Their conversation was not concealed, and the disciples below were all somewhat bewildered after hearing it.

"Three hours? Why three hours?"

"Did I hear that right? Isn't this title defense match supposed to end in two hours?"

"You heard me right, the Third Elder said three hours. The elder must have misremembered..."

Just as everyone thought something had gone wrong, a clear, cold voice rang out from the crowd, instantly attracting everyone's attention: "Not necessarily."

Yu Liu felt a slight vibration in her body, and from this she knew that the person who had just spoken must be the owner of the object she was possessing.

"Eldest brother?!"

"It's Senior Brother!!"

"When did our senior brother arrive?! We didn't even notice him!!"

"..."

The surrounding area instantly erupted in chaos.

Li Qingran paid no attention to the discussions around him, his face as serene as a celestial being: "Second Junior Brother once killed the Third Elder's most beloved disciple with a single sword, and has been suffering retaliation from the Third Elder ever since. This time, it may very well be the Third Elder abusing his power for personal gain."

He openly and frankly revealed the sordid nature of the situation, even responding with a faint smile to the Third Elder's gaze. Perhaps he was the only one in the entire Azure Sect who had the confidence to speak such words without fear of the Third Elder's retaliation.

As the most renowned senior disciple of the Azure Sect, he has always been a genius on the entire continent. His cultivation has now reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and he will soon break through to the Nascent Soul stage. With his current cultivation level, he can challenge Nascent Soul cultivators beyond his level, which is why he is not afraid of the Third Elder, who is at the early Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, seeing that the Third Elder wasn't angry but instead smiled at Li Qingran, everyone knew that the Third Elder definitely hadn't heard what the Eldest Brother had said. Everyone smiled awkwardly, accepting the Eldest Brother's explanation in their hearts, but could only keep it to themselves.

"Qingran didn't participate in the Ten Directions Arena this year, did she? The rewards on this arena are extremely valuable. Don't you plan to give it a try?"

When the Third Elder saw Li Qingran, a wicked idea immediately formed in his mind. Li Qingran's strength was known to everyone in the entire Cangqing Sect. If he could stand on the arena, even if Zhengze tried his best to resist, he definitely wouldn't last a single round.

On this arena, life and death are entirely preordained. Zhengze is already seriously injured, and death is a very real possibility.

Unfortunately, Li Qingran admired Zhengze and did not intend to let the Third Elder succeed. He gently shook his head: "Qingran does not lack these for the time being, so I will not go up and make a fool of myself."

The Third Elder was somewhat disappointed, but he hadn't had high hopes for the proposal anyway, so he turned his attention to the disciples below the arena.

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge the title?"

He asked loudly.

The disciples below looked at each other, none daring to make a move. Even though they knew their second senior brother was at his last gasp, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and besides, their second senior brother was fearless. No one was willing to risk their lives; what if, just what if, their second senior brother still had strength left?

"You!" The Third Elder was furious when he saw that no one moved. He pointed at the people below the arena and slammed his finger down twice. "Cultivating immortality is defying the heavens. If you don't have the courage to face difficulties, you will never achieve much in your lives!"

He appeared to be lecturing everyone, but in reality, he was using words to inspire them.

Unfortunately, no amount of stimulation could help; when it comes to life, everything else has to take a backseat.

The Third Elder was so angry that his face turned ashen. Seeing that no one else dared to step onto the stage, he could only sit down and meditate in the corner of the stage in despair. Zhengze remained kneeling on the stage, his head drooping again, seemingly lifeless once more.

However, no one dared to personally test whether he had actually lost consciousness.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. The nine arenas that were placed elsewhere in the Cangqing Sect had already been dismantled. Now only Zhengze's arena remained. Seeing that it could not be delayed any longer, the Third Elder's eyes flashed with resentment. In the end, he disbanded the arena, and the thing that Zhengze was guarding on the arena naturally returned to his hands.

"These are such important things, you must take good care of them!" He handed the three treasures to Zhengze, gritting his teeth as he gave the instructions.

Zhengze leaned on his sword, standing somewhat unsteadily, which was terrifying to watch, but he didn't stumble even once. He took the treasure and put it into his storage bag. He slowly moved his feet and stepped off the arena.

The Third Elder watched coldly, secretly pleased by Zhengze's disheveled appearance.

After leaving the arena, Zhengze did not rely on himself to move back to his cave as the Third Elder had expected. Instead, he found a few junior disciples from the sect and used a mid-grade spirit stone as payment to have them escort him back to his cave.

The arena has been disbanded, and the annual Ten Directions Arena Tournament has come to an end. In addition to the rewards they received, the ten people who remained on the arena will also have a spot to explore the secret realm of Changji.

The rewards are quite generous.

Yu Liu was hung on the waist of the senior brother named Qing Ran. After the arena competition ended, the senior brother left quietly, and no one knew how he did it without attracting anyone's attention.

He returned to his cave dwelling, opened the cave's protective barrier, sat cross-legged with his palms facing upwards, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy gradually flowed into his surroundings and quickly entered his body.

When immersed in cultivation, one is basically unaware of the outside world. Unless there is a life-threatening danger, one generally cannot hear small noises. After waiting for a while, Yu Liu slowly moved the body she had possessed.

The storage bag hanging from Li Qingran's waist twitched a few times, as if it contained a little person.

Seeing that Li Qingran had no reaction, Yu Liu knew that he hadn't sensed anything. She activated her willpower, and after a flash of white light, she appeared wearing a dark gold outfit. The form-fitting clothes outlined her budding figure, and her long hair was tied in a ponytail, swaying behind her head as she turned, giving her an energetic aura.

Yu Liu first found her true form by following her senses. It was a dark golden bag, about the size of a palm, hanging on Li Qingran's waist.

Just as Yu Liu was about to reach out and take it, she suddenly remembered that in this world of cultivation, the only things that could be made into a small bag shape besides magic weapons were storage bags. Moreover, both magic weapons and storage bags were very important items for cultivators. If she just reached out and took the small bag, she might bring disaster upon herself.

Yu Liu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not move her true form.

She wandered around Li Qingran's somewhat deserted cave dwelling, not daring to touch the barrier in front of the cave entrance, and found that she couldn't get out at all, so she could only find a corner to squat down.

After taking out the glowing red feather and confirming Li Qingran's identity, Yu Liu finally felt a little safe in this place. She closed her eyes and began to sense the information transmitted to her by the Reincarnation Well.

Yu Liu came to this world to fulfill the wish of Fairy Jiao Han, and the target of her wish this time was actually an acquaintance with whom she had previously cooperated.

This person is also called Zhengze. He is the husband mentioned by Fairy Jiaohan, the one who needs to endure the suffering of 9999 reincarnations. The Zhengze that Yu Liu knows also seems to be a person from the divine realm, and after regaining his memories, he chose to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. This makes Yu Liu suspect that these two people are actually the same person.

Yu Liu had no idea how to save this person, and she didn't know what to do. She could only try to follow Yue Sheng's previous guesses.

The mistakes Zhengze made were so grave that he never had a peaceful end in any of his reincarnations. Moreover, he was possessed by a cursed spirit in every life, bringing bad luck wherever he went and inexplicably attracting a host of troubles. If he couldn't overcome these obstacles, he would be endlessly reincarnated in this cycle of death. But what if he did manage to survive?

Every time he reincarnates, the Heavenly Dao intends to kill him. Yu Liu thought that since she saved him, she must let him live. As long as he lives, it is tantamount to going against the Heavenly Dao. In this case, the punishment may be more severe, but more likely, the Heavenly Dao will not be able to control him, and the punishment will disappear or be reduced.

Such speculation is baseless, but it is currently the only reliable method.

Looking at the solid restrictions enveloping the cave, and then at Li Qingran, who would definitely not finish cultivating anytime soon, Yu Liu couldn't help but silently pray that Zhengze would not have any mishaps.

He was just seriously injured, which is the perfect time to kill him. In addition, there are elders who have old grudges against him, so it's hard to guarantee they won't resort to underhanded tactics. I can't protect him right now, so I must make sure nothing happens to him!
