If there were no rules, then there were rules. This meant that obtaining the Dream Branch was one thing, and bringing the Dream Branch back to the training hall was another.
In other words, even if Bao'er obtained the Dream Branch, it would still be forcefully taken away by Sikong Shu and Golden Dew, unless she eliminated all the competitors before that.
Therefore, she had to return.
In addition, leaving Zhu Sheng to bear all the danger alone made her feel uncomfortable. She felt like a deserter. This was not the style of a Hundred Spirits disciple, and it was not Bao'er's style either.
Zhu Sheng looked at her with excitement in her eyes. Team up? It seemed that she and Bao'er had never worked together before. Today was the first time in their lives that they were working together.
Boom!
Boom! Just then, two loud noises came from below. A surge of emperor intent surged, and the powerful force caused the surrounding peach blossoms to fall. The peach trees were also shaking.
Bao'er and Zhu Sheng looked down and saw several balls of emperor light flying towards them. Midway, the two fastest figures were caught up by the people behind them. In an instant, the second seat of the fifth island, Jiang Zhu, and the first seat of the seventh island, Mingguang, were shot down from the sky. Their bodies fell from the peach trees to the ground.
"So powerful."
Zhu Sheng looked at the person who attacked. Phoenix Flower, Sikong Shu, the first seat of Golden Dew, had defeated all the competitors with one move, reducing the ten people team to two.
After Wu Huang and Taosheng were eliminated, there were now five competitors eliminated. Among them, the second seat of Fu Ya was suppressed by Bao'er.
Bao 'er's gaze descended onto Sikong Shu and First Disciple Jin Lu. The two balls of surging Emperor Lights in her field of vision grew closer and closer, and the Dao Insights that swept over were extremely surging. She clearly sensed that the strength of the auras of these two people was even stronger than Zhongli Qing and Wen Ninglan. Perhaps, the battle between First Disciple Jin Lu and First Disciple Dark Blue seemed to have ended in a draw, yet they'd actually concealed their strength.
Bao'er stood quietly, waiting for her opponents to arrive. Sikong Shu and Golden Dew were indeed stronger than Zhongli Qing, but they could not shake her heart.
Buzz!
Buzz! Two terrifying sound waves descended. Sikong Shu and Golden Dew were faster than expected. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of Bao'er. They each stood on a huge peach tree branch, and emperor light flowed around them as they smiled at Bao'er.
In addition, there was another woman beside Sikong Shu. Eight Dao Verification Halos spun beneath her feet. She was Sikong Shu's junior sister, the third person from the Phoenix Flower Sect.
In the air far away from the dao field, on top of the peach tree, five people stared at each other, and an oppressive pressure began to fill the air. Apart from the Hundred Spirits Bloodline, all the other competitors from the other nine bloodlines had "died".
Only seventh-level Dao Validation Yun Bao 'er and sixth-level Dao Validation Zhu Sheng were left in this space.
Their opponents were two perfected Dao Validation Emperor Lords and an eighth-stage Dao Validation powerhouse.
"Bao 'er, why didn't you pluck the Dream Branch? You missed such a good opportunity. Senior Sister feels sorry for you."
Sikong Shu chuckled.
"You make it sound like it's true."
Bao'er pursed her lips and looked up at the top of the tree. If she had won the Dream Branch, she would have gone over long ago.
"Bao 'er, give up. In this contest, you and Zhu Sheng have no chance of winning."
Chief Golden Dew said. She was older than Bao'er and had also been born in the nine bloodlines. She had joined the sect at birth, so in terms of seniority, she was slightly higher than Bao'er.
"If I had known that Senior Sister Lian Han was the chief disciple of Golden Dew, I might have withdrawn," Bao'er replied.
Bao 'er replied. Lian Han's identity in Golden Dew was not a mystery. She was just an ordinary disciple, but the chief disciple of Golden Dew was a mystery. Who would associate an ordinary disciple with the chief disciple of the Island Master?
It was only today that Bao'er learned that Lian Han was the illegitimate daughter of the Island Master. Martial Uncle Golden Dew had caused trouble this time. After all, the nine bloodlines were not allowed to form a family for the position of Island Master. If one wanted to form a family, they would have to step down from the position of Island Master. However, Martial Uncle Golden Dew had hidden this from the Island Masters of the eight bloodlines … As Lian Han's identity was made public, the Island Master of Golden Dew had also made it public. Right now, the Nine Bloodlines Martial Arts Symposium was the most important thing, so it was not convenient to deal with it for the time being. However, after the event, Bao'er was certain that Martial Uncle Golden Dew would not be able to become Island Master and would be severely punished by the nine bloodlines. She might even be imprisoned.
However, Lian Han was innocent and was still a disciple of Golden Dew. If she had seized the Dream Branch this time, perhaps the nine bloodlines would have dealt with the Island Master with a lighter punishment.
"It's not too late to know now. Bao'er, I must get the Dream Branch for my mother," Lian Han said.
She clenched her fists slightly, and her eyes flashed with incomparable determination.
"Senior Sister is wrong. Your opponent's focus is not on me. Even if I withdraw, do you think you can beat Senior Sister Sikong?"
Bao'er replied. Moreover, Sikong Shu had a fellow disciple of Phoenix Flower supporting her. One against two, how could Lian Han be so confident?
"That's not something for Junior Sister to worry about."
Lian Han silently glanced at Sikong Shu. Compared to Bao'er, the cultivation of the second disciple of Phoenix Flower was more real. The strength of a Dao Proving Emperor was apparent at a glance.
However, Lian Han could not see through Bao'er. She did not dare to underestimate Bao'er, who was in the seventh stage of Dao Proving Realm. She would rather fight Sikong Shu than Yun Bao'er.
"How about this? Senior Sister Lian, let's work together to take down Senior Sister Sikong and kick the chief bloodline out. Then we'll fight it out. What do you think?"
Zhu Sheng suggested. Dealing with two small Dao Proving Realm cultivators was easier than dealing with a Dao Proving Emperor and an eighth stage Dao Proving Realm cultivator.
"Junior Sister Zhu Sheng, you're vicious."
Sikong Shu's face darkened. If Yun Bao'er was so easy to deal with, she and Lian Han would not have left her until the end. They would have eliminated her immediately.
"This won't do, that won't do, and you're trying to trick us into giving up …" Zhu Sheng spread her hands. She was so innocent. How could she target her and Bao'er like this?
"Don't waste time. The choice is in your hands."
Sikong Shu looked at Lian Han. It seemed that the two had made a decision before.
"In that case, don't blame us for bullying you. Bao'er, your potential threat is too great," Lian Han sighed.
She slowly raised her hand. Endless golden halos gathered under her palm. They grew stronger and stronger, as if they had turned into countless pearls, exuding a terrifying might.
"Do it."
As Sikong Shu's eighth stage Dao Proving Realm cultivator's voice fell, a long phoenix cry surged from her body. Majestic sword intent raged. She pressed her sword finger, and tens of thousands of peach branches swayed wildly. Between the lush leaves, endless sword light fell, and a sword rain shrouded Zhu Sheng.
At the same time, an even more shocking sword light erupted from Sikong Shu's position. An incomparably dazzling sword light appeared in her palm. It wasn't condensed from sword intent, but a real Empyrean artifact. The Extreme Supreme Emperor Sword was shaped like a phoenix's divine feather, and it emitted billowing flames of the Great Dao. She directly slashed her sword towards Bao'er. The terrifying sword aura swept through countless huge peach branches.
"Go."
Lian Han spat out a word. Her fair jade-like hand waved gently, and a dazzling golden pearl burst out from her palm. Although its momentum wasn't as fierce as Sikong Shu's sword aura, its light was sharper. It also shot towards Bao'er's position.
The second seat of the Phoenix Flower Realm and the first seat of the Golden Dew Realm. The two Dao Proving Realm cultivators joined forces to deal with Emperor Yuan, who was in the seventh stage of the Dao Proving Realm.
This shocking scene caused the countless Emperor Masters in the training ground below to be shocked to the spot.
Hyun Ying looked at the fierce battle that broke out in the sky. He never thought that Bao'er would cause the two strongest Imperial Lords among the competitors to join forces to attack her. This was completely different from his previous guess.
Logically speaking, either Lian Han or Sikong Shu should join forces with Bao'er to deal with one of the Imperial Lords first.
After all, the strong needed to expand their advantage, while the weak needed to work together to deal with the most threatening person.
How did it turn around now? The two most competitive Imperial Lords actually joined forces to suppress the seemingly weak Yun Bao'er.
Could it be that Bao'er's threat was greater than that of the Imperial Lords?
"She's very impressive, no less than her father's."
Jin Chen trembled and couldn't help muttering. In the eyes of Sikong Shu and Lian Han, it was obvious that they thought that Bao'er was more difficult to deal with than the other party. That was why they did something that wasn't befitting of an Imperial Lord. Two Imperial Lords joined forces to suppress a seventh-stage Dao Proving Realm cultivator. Jin Chen felt ashamed for them.
If it were Jin Chen, he would rather die than do this. He wouldn't even bother to make a move against a seventh-stage Dao Proving Realm cultivator.
After all, Bao'er was of Dendi's noble bloodline. If the battle between Bao'er and Zhongli Qing amazed everyone, then her victory over Wen Ninglan was enough to prove that her strength was indeed qualified to fight head-on with the Imperial Lords. With a seventh-stage Dao Proving Realm cultivation base, she had stepped into the ranks of the Imperial Lords.
But at this time, Sikong Shu and Lian Han teaming up to deal with Bao'er wasn't just amazing. In the land of the East Continent and even the four regions of the Divine Wilderness, who had ever received such treatment when they were in the seventh-stage Dao Proving Realm?
Even the battle between Qin Hao and Yuan Shitao back then wasn't as eye-catching as his daughter at this moment. After all, at that time, Qin Hao was at the peak of the eighth-stage Dao Proving Realm. He fought an Imperial Lord and an eighth-stage Dao Proving Realm cultivator to a draw.
"Once this child's Dao foundation stabilizes, she will be amazing."
The Imperial Lords of the five realms began to discuss. The so-called stable Dao foundation naturally meant that they had reached the peak of the Dao Proving Realm. In the eyes of the Imperial Lords, all Emperors who had yet to step into the Dao Proving Realm were just disciples of the Dao Proving Realm.
Only when one reached the peak of the Dao Proving Realm could one be considered a true Imperial Lord.
At that time, in the vast East Continent, who would be Yun Bao'er's opponent?
She was now in the seventh-stage Dao Proving Realm and could compete with two Imperial Lords of the Dao Proving Realm. Just thinking about her reaching the peak of the Dao Proving Realm was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Feng Gaishi's gloomy eyes stared firmly at the sky. The more he sensed, the more he felt that the aura exuding from Yun Bao'er's body made him feel both familiar and hateful. It was very similar to Li Chuji back then.
This woman must be related to Dendi.
At this time, Feng Gaishi secretly glanced at the main seat of the training hall. The Wartower was sitting there with an exceptionally cold expression.
Perhaps, Feng Gaishi should do something. No matter what the relationship between Yun Bao'er and Li Chuji was, as long as they were related, the Wartower would definitely take action. Feng Gaishi was looking forward to how the Wartower would deal with Yun Bao'er. Would it be like back then, killing her with a single palm strike?
Gradually, a happy expression appeared on Feng Gaishi's face.
Boom!
Thousands of feet high in the sky, a terrifying storm of Dao power swept out from the huge peach tree. Endless streams of Sword Dao light fell rapidly, sealing the space where Zhu Sheng was. The Third Seat of the Phoenix Flower Realm was in the eighth stage of the Dao Proving Realm. She had enough ability to suppress Zhu Sheng and get rid of this troublesome person beside Yun Bao'er.
Zhu Sheng raised her head and looked at the endless streams of Sword Dao light falling. The whistling of the Sword Dao was mixed with the long cry of the Phoenix. It was as if they were sucking into her divine soul, causing her mind to be in a mess. This was the Emperor Technique of the First Bloodline of the Phoenix Flower Realm, the Phoenix Firmament Sword Intent. Its domineering power was comparable to the Flower Plucking Hand.
She was in the sixth stage of the Dao Proving Realm. Moreover, she was seriously injured. There was no way she could withstand the supreme sword formation of an eighth stage Dao Proving Realm Emperor.
But at this moment, Zhu Sheng slowly smiled. The Longevity Staff in her hand loosened slightly. She suddenly raised it and threw it into the distance.
