Unable to control herself any longer due to Zeng Zifang's aggressive demeanor, Zhao Yanran flicked her finger, and a silver spear appeared in her hand.
She pointed the spear tip at Zeng Zifang, "Bitch, sharp-tongued and vicious! Why don't we fight? I challenge you to a duel!"
She and Zeng Zifang were both at the Early Stage Golden Core Realm, so they could fight whenever they wished.
Her Magic Treasure was actually a Middle Stage Dan artifact, the Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear.
"Tsk!"
Zeng Zifang still stood with one hand on her slender waist.
"You're at your wit's end! The truth has been revealed, and you're turning angry out of shame! However, I've never been afraid of you in a duel, big sister!"
After speaking, a blood-colored long whip, about ten zhang long, appeared in her hand.
Zeng Zifang's Magic Treasure was the Nine-Section Poison Whip, a Middle Stage Dan artifact.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo secretly admired them.
For the Ba Ling Sect, dueling was almost a belief.
As the tension grew, and a fierce battle was about to unfold, a voice came down from the peak of Nose Peak.
The voice belonged to an old man; it wasn't loud, but it seemed to resonate in everyone's ears.
"Enough. The Nose Peak Appraisal Fair will proceed as normal. Elder Ma of the Sect Law Enforcement Division is fined three months of Cultivation fees for lax supervision. The relevant Protectors who enforced the law improperly are expelled from the Sect Law Enforcement Division. The Grand Elder and Second Elder shall each return to their Immortal Caves."
As soon as the old man's words rang out, whether it was Zeng Zifang or Zhao Yanran, whether it was the Sect Law Enforcement Division Protectors or the Disciples on the platform, all stood respectfully, listening with ears perked.
Qian Duoduo thought to himself, everyone is so respectful, this old man must be the Nose Peak's Peak Master, the Zhao Family Old Ancestor.
After the Zhao Family Old Ancestor finished speaking, Zeng Zifang, Zhao Yanran, and Elder Ma bowed towards the peak.
"As you command!"
Zeng Zifang drew in her right hand, snatching the spirit commerce certificate from Elder Ma's hand, and said fiercely:
"You're lucky today, you horse-faced man. Next time you dare to touch my people, I'll make you shed a layer of skin."
Elder Ma's face twitched, he waved his hand, and led the Black-Robed Guardian out.
After taking a few steps, he remembered the Protector who was still unconscious on the platform. He looked back at Qian Duoduo, took two steps forward, then stopped, waved his hand, lifted the unconscious Protector upside down, and walked towards the exit.
Zhao Yanran gave Qian Duoduo a cold glance, put away her Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear, stomped one leg, and a forceful energy shot towards the high platform.
The forceful energy rushed towards Qian Duoduo. Zeng Zifang showed no intention of intervening, so Qian Duoduo had no choice but to brace himself, condense his Soul Blade, and fully block the forceful energy.
The Azure Dragon on the Soul Blade was the first to rush forward, but it was twisted into nothingness by the forceful energy.
The Soul Blade collided with the forceful energy and was also shattered.
The forceful energy reached Qian Duoduo and landed on the Soul Shield in front of him.
Although the Soul Shield was also pierced through, only less than ten percent of the forceful energy remained.
Qian Duoduo clenched his fists and fiercely threw two punches, striking the forceful energy.
He took three steps back with the momentum, blocking Zhao Yanran's fatal parting blow.
Zeng Zifang smiled again, very satisfied that Qian Duoduo, at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation Realm, could withstand an attack from a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator.
Zhao Yanran used this forceful energy to return to her Immortal Cave on the cliff.
Before entering the Immortal Cave, she said loudly, "You may protect your new pet for a while, but can you protect him for a lifetime?"
"Is it any of your business? I'll do as I please!"
Zeng Zifang's smile blossomed.
She turned to face the Disciples on the platform and said loudly, "Qian Duoduo held the Appraisal Fair, bringing benefits to this peak, and has rendered great service. This Elder will reward him with a Foundation Establishment opportunity. Three months from now, when this sect opens the Ice Cave Grotto-heaven, this peak will send three people to participate, and Qian Duoduo, you are one of them!"
Zhao Yanran's figure moved again, darting into the Immortal Cave, and with a "bang," the main door closed.
Zeng Zifang was in an extremely cheerful mood, her eyes narrowing into slits as she laughed.
She flicked the spirit commerce certificate, returning it to Qian Duoduo, then turned around contentedly and flew away through the air.
"The Appraisal Fair continues, you all enjoy yourselves, enjoy yourselves! Hahahaha..."
