Chapter 523 Ye Beixuan: Senior, could it be that you are afraid?
"Half-Saint Demon Crystal, how is this possible?"
"Those country bumpkins from Xuan Continent actually suppressed a Half-Saint?"
"..."
The other seventeen vassal lords discussed spiritedly. Although the words everyone spoke were different, the meaning expressed was the same, which was that they did not believe Ye Beixuan and his group could suppress a Half-Saint Demon Lord.
The Phoenix Ancestor did not continue asking questions but simply looked quietly at Ye Beixuan.
"Replying to Ancestor, the name of the Demon Lord that this junior suppressed is Buddha Demon."
Ye Beixuan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hiss...
Upon hearing the two words Buddha Demon, the group of Ancestors present subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.
Many among them had heard of Buddha Demon's fierce reputation. Even if they were to face Buddha Demon themselves, they might not necessarily be able to retreat unscathed.
"How do you prove that what you suppressed was Buddha Demon?"
The Phoenix Ancestor continued to inquire.
"Ancestor, please look at this item."
As Ye Beixuan spoke, he took out a Sarira from his storage ring.
That was a Sarira emitting Buddha light, only that this Sarira was surrounded by demonic energy. This demonic energy was exactly the same as that on the Demon Crystal.
"Was Buddha Demon really suppressed by you all?"
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor still somewhat dared not believe this fact.
"Naturally, it is true."
Ye Beixuan had a face full of confidence.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
The Great Sage of the Thunder Bird clan suddenly spoke up to interrupt the conversation between Ye Beixuan and the Phoenix Ancestor.
As soon as he thought of how his family's Heaven's Chosen was suppressed by this kid and needed to undergo Nirvana, he felt unhappy in his heart and wanted to cause trouble for the other party.
As for whether the other party really suppressed that Buddha Demon, it was not important. After all, their Thunder Bird clan had several Saints in the ancestral land.
Even if it caused a scene in the end, their Thunder Bird clan would take advantage. As for what the truth was, was that not determined by whoever had the stronger strength?
The Phoenix Ancestor was interrupted, and his expression was somewhat displeased.
He sank his face, turned his head to look at the Great Sage of the Thunder Bird clan, and asked, "Jinglei, why do you feel that the Xuan Continent Phoenix Descendants are unable to suppress Buddha Demon?"
Great Sage Jinglei said with a face full of resentment, "Because the Heaven's Chosen of my Thunder Bird, as well as the Great Wind and Blue Phoenix clans, were all harmed by him. Presumably, it must be that the Heaven's Chosen of my three families used that formation and fought Buddha Demon until both sides suffered, and only then did he pick up the scraps."
"Is that so?"
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor let his gaze fall upon Ye Beixuan's body and asked with a smile, "Junior, what do you think?"
Ye Beixuan said unhurriedly, "Cultivators of my generation all speak with strength. If the Senior of the Thunder Bird clan does not believe it, you can fight with me."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!
"Presumptuous brat!"
Great Sage Jinglei did not expect that a small child from Xuan Continent would actually dare to provoke him like this. He was, at any rate, a well-known Great Sage of the Desolate Continent, so he directly disregarded his image and shouted abuse.
The surrounding cultivators discussed in low voices.
"This kid has such guts, actually daring to provoke a Great Sage like this. Even the Xuan Continent Phoenix Descendant Ancestor cannot protect him!"
"Now there is a good show to watch. I actually want to see how hard this kid's bones are and whether he can withstand a strike from Great Sage Jinglei."
"..."
Ye Beixuan directly ignored everyone's discussions and looked at Great Sage Jinglei with a playful expression, laughing, "Senior, could it be that you are afraid?"
"Hmph!!!"
Great Sage Jinglei gave a cold snort, "Would this old man be afraid of a yellow-mouthed child like you?"
As the words fell, a powerful pressure emitted from his body and pressed towards Ye Beixuan.
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor did not make a move but quietly watched Ye Beixuan. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, it was the first time he had seen such an arrogant young man. He would let him suffer a bit first so that the ins and outs of the matter could be known.
Ye Beixuan sensed Great Sage Jinglei's pressure but remained expressionless. He smiled and said, "Senior, your pressure is nothing more than this."
After speaking, a ray of Primordial Violet Light emitted from behind him. This violet light contained the True Meaning of the Great Dao and directly dispersed Great Sage Jinglei's pressure.
"True Meaning of the Great Dao!"
"That kid actually comprehended the True Meaning of the Great Dao!"
"..."
The various Ancestors who were previously watching the show sensed the change in Ye Beixuan's aura and cried out in surprise. One by one, they cast stunned gazes toward him.
Even the eyes of the Phoenix clan's Ancestor revealed a look of astonishment, and he asked subconsciously, "Young man, where exactly did you inherit your teachings?"
Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "Replying to Ancestor, this junior comes from the Wendao Academy."
"So that is how it is."
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor nodded slightly and let his gaze fall upon Great Sage Jinglei. "Do you have any other objections now?"
Great Sage Jinglei's expression was exceptionally unsightly at this moment. He never expected that his act of using power to suppress others would actually be broken by a tiny Path Union cultivator, not to mention being humiliated by the other party.
He cupped his hands toward the Phoenix clan's Ancestor and said, "This old man has nothing to say."
"Then you may withdraw for now." The Phoenix clan's Ancestor waved his wings.
"Yes." Great Sage Jinglei responded and then turned around to withdraw.
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor said in a loud voice, "Now, who else questions the strength of the Xuan Continent Phoenix Descendants?"
The people present were not fools. Seeing Ye Beixuan's talent, they naturally knew he was no ordinary person, and since he came from a Holy Land, causing trouble for him would be asking for a snub.
The group of Ancestors said one after another, "We have no objections."
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor continued, "Now, this seat announces that the first place in this trial is the Xuan Continent Phoenix Descendants!"
"Yeah!"
Upon hearing this news, everyone from Fire Phoenix Valley raised their hands and cheered, their faces overflowing with joyous expressions.
The two Ancestors of Fire Phoenix Valley were also beaming. They had previously predicted that Ye Beixuan could lead the disciples of Fire Phoenix Valley to achieve a good result.
They never expected that this kid Ye Beixuan would actually take first place in the trial. This meant that their Fire Phoenix Valley would have three quotas. Thinking of this, the two subconsciously exchanged a glance.
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor said, "Ye Beixuan, this old man has a few questions to ask you. I wonder if you have time now?"
Ye Beixuan cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please ask."
"Previously, this old man sensed two strands of Sword Qi outside the secret realm. Could they be related to you?"
As soon as the Phoenix clan's Ancestor said this, the gazes of all cultivators present fell upon Ye Beixuan once again.
Those two strands of Sword Qi, whether inside or outside the secret realm, had caused all cultivators to be horrified.
Ye Beixuan said respectfully, "Correct, that Sword Qi was indeed used by this junior. It was just that I used a treasure to seal my Master's Sword Qi within it. Those under the Saint realm would perish with one strike, and even a Saint would suffer a great loss."
"Young man, could it be that your Master is a Saint?" The Phoenix clan's Ancestor asked with a smile.
Ye Beixuan shook his head, "No, my Master is not a Saint, but he has a battle record of contending against Saints."
"Oh?"
The Phoenix clan's Ancestor immediately became interested and continued to ask, "Such a Great Sage is presumably not a nameless figure. I wonder which Fellow Daoist it is."
Ye Beixuan respectfully said, "My Master is given the nickname Great Sage Qiankun."
