"Oh my, what should I do?" Wei Rou was terribly anxious and began to regret seeking out those âunderlings.â
Thus, while the Qi Cultivation disciples were relieved, her own master was led astray.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ear: "I can find someone to defeat this Yu Shaofei, to prove his aptitude isnât that great, and relieve your masterâs worries."
The speaker was naturally Lou Yi.
Wei Rou gave him a surprised look and responded in the same manner: "Really?
If he is too old, it wonât work; he should at least be around the same age as Yu Shaofei."
"Rest assured, he will be younger, and your master knows him."
"Who?"
"Red Hero."
"??? Are you kidding me? You can contact Red Hero?" Wei Rou was shocked, "Although my master has his communication talisman.
Each time she tried to contact him, it was like dropping a stone in the sea, and the other party wouldnât respond."
"Why would I deceive you? Red Heroâs relationship with our sect is well-known worldwide, and I have my ways.
However, you must promise not to tell anyone it was me who invited him, just say it was your master who contacted him."
"But, Red Hero might not necessarily be a match for this Yu Shaofei, right?
He is at the Third Level of the Spirit Platform, and even holds a place in the Tianyuan."
"Do you have such little faith in Red Hero? He once chased the wolf clanâs elite as if they were dogs."
Hearing this, a bit of confidence surfaced in Wei Rouâs heart.
But Lou Yiâs next words irritated her to the point of rolling her eyes.
"However, itâll cost extra."
"???"
"For me to help you bring Red Hero, you must lend our sect at least three thousand premium spirit stones and profit a little more."
Wei Rou was somewhat speechless but promptly informed her master and the Pavilion Master of the Ruyi Pavilion to make a decision.
Moments later, she transmitted her masterâs reply to Lou Yi: "If Red Hero defeats Yu Shaofei, only then will our sect lend you that many spirit stones."
"Agreed." Lou Yi replied.
Deep down, he regretted, thinking he should have asked for more.
Had he known, he would have added another two thousand premium spirit stones.
After receiving Lou Yiâs confirmation, Xin Zhiqiâs expression became slightly more relaxed.
Her lips turned up, revealing a stunning smile that made many of the male cultivators present momentarily dazed, thinking no wonder Yu Shaofei was fixated on this woman.
At this moment, the Pavilion Master of Ruyi Pavilion spoke: "Fellow Daoist Yu, your achievements are impressive and shouldnât be false.
However, itâs better to see with our own eyes rather than just hear.
We still donât feel reassured, and would like to verify personally. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, a confident smile appeared at the corner of Yu Shaofeiâs mouth: "No problem, I also wish to verify something with the fellow cultivators of the Northern Domain."
He deliberately emphasized the words âNorthern Domain.â
"Indeed a member of our Northern Domain, not yet fifty years old."
"Who?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you might have heard of Red Hero."
"That wandering practitioner who defeated the bloodline-transforming demon clan?" Yu Shaofei listened, surprised, "Where is he now?"
"Outside the palace, on his way here."
"It would be best, considering the level weâve reached, our sparring wouldnât be quiet. To avoid causing damage to your sect, itâs better outside the sect."
Soon, everyone in the hall left the Qingluan Palace.
And just as everyoneâs attention was focused on the distant horizon.
Lou Yi activated his perfected Disguise Talent, silently and unnoticed, burrowed underground.
A breath later, he returned to his original place, though he had swapped to a split body.
His true self, after sneaking a distance underground, emerged again.
Then, he transformed into a rainbow light and proudly flew towards the front of Qingluan Palace.
"Heâs coming."
"It seems to really be Red Hero!"
"Red Hero stirred up the Northern Domain; within the same realm, heâs undefeated. Wonder if he can stand against this Central Continentâs great sect prodigy?"
"If he loses this battle, Qingluan Palace can no longer make any excuse.
Otherwise, theyâll completely offend the Thunder Shock Sect and be unable to move forward!"
In everyoneâs sight, Red Hero had arrived high in the sky not far ahead.
He stood in the void, his whole body bathed in a dazzling red light, looking down at everyone.
His appearance was rather ordinary and not especially handsome.
But his flying manner shocked all spectators.
"Flying purely with the physical body, without any Flying Magical Artifact?"
"How is this possible, has Red Hero broken through to the Golden Core?"
"Perhaps itâs a Secret Technique, but pardon my ignorance, Iâve never heard of this..."
At that moment, Lou Yi hovered in mid-air and glanced over at Xin Zhiqi: "Fairy Xin, Iâve heard thereâs a toad whoâs set eyes on you?"
Xin Zhiqi was taken aback, unsure how to respond.
"In the heart of the Central Continent, over vast expanses, naturally brilliant prodigies are born.
Yet, there are also lots of second-rate ones mixed in.
You must keep your eyes peeled and not let them deceive you."
"Who dares to insult me!" Hearing this, Yu Shaofei, initially wary due to Lou Yiâs unusual flying style, couldnât hold back.
A large green gourd emitting electric light appeared under him and shot him into the sky!
Yu Shaofei flew opposite to Lou Yi, coldly saying: "I, Yu Shaofei, embarked on cultivation at the age of fifteen, reached Foundation Establishment at twenty-eight, perfected the Dao foundation at fifty, and now at seventy-three, have reached the Third Level of the Spirit Platform.
Even in our sectâs thousand-year history, this ranks among the top ten.
Who gave you the courage to criticize a Golden Core seed?"
As his words fell, Yu Shaofeiâs aura surged, swiftly breaking past the ordinary Foundation Establishment level.
âBoom!â
A three-tiered tall building, hovering between illusion and reality, slowly rose above Yu Shaofeiâs head, dazzling like a blazing sun.
