Chapter 96

The following day, fireworks burst in the sky, signifying the commencement of the Xianyun Games. Countless netizens switched on their computers at home and tuned into the live broadcast.

Seated in the auditorium, Song Juyao frequently found herself in the lens of major news outlets, subjected to repeated close-ups. The conundrum was that someone with such beauty could also wield such power! It was almost divine! Viewers were riveted, wishing for more glimpses. It's hard to fathom how many people were watching the Fairy Games just for Song Juyao.

Qin Mei and Zeng Can sat together, observing this spectacle. Qin Mei smirked, thinking, "I'll wait and see. The higher you rise now, the harder you'll fall."

Zeng Can couldn't resist rubbing his stomach once more, a lack of confidence gnawing at him. Could they truly succeed? Or would Song Juyao once again slap them away? Sighing, he clutched his aching stomach. He hoped to deliver a more authentic performance when it came to the scene of getting stabbed.

The Fairy Games were divided into several levels. First came the obstacle race—contestants raced from the mountain's base to its peak, placing their respective school's chess pieces on the summit to claim victory for their faction. Finally, there was the group arena.

In an event among immortal cultivators, participants had to showcase their unique skills. Not only did they need to race to the top, they had to impede others—a truly exhilarating spectacle.

To level the playing field, Taichu Jianzong was prohibited from flying in this event, except for using two swords.

As formations, talismans, and treasures from different sects came into play, strategies intertwined, resulting in an enthralling blend of tactics and calculation. Taichu Jianzong showed the spectators what it meant to transcend all complexities with a single sword, clearing levels with fierce determination.

Remarkably, it did lend a unique exhilaration; no matter how intricate the schemes and trickeries, a swift sword strike silenced them all.

...

While attention was firmly fixed on the Fairy Games, shadowy figures darted through the night. Tang Jie had dispatched seven evil spirit dolls across the nation in seven cardinal directions, awaiting the master's signal.

Lin Wanyu: "Wait a bit longer."

"If we wait any longer, the Fairy Games will conclude, Master." Tang Jie expressed concern.

"The timing isn't ideal yet."

Though Tang Jie was anxious, he dared not defy his master. Everything was in readiness, poised to proceed on command.

...

On the third day of the Fairy Games, the much-anticipated group arena commenced.

On the eve of the event, Qin Mei, Zeng Can, and Bei Jiayuan reconvened.

"Sister Yuan, are you certain she hasn't detected anything unusual about the sword?" Zeng Can inquired anxiously.

Bei Jiayuan nodded.

Qin Mei added, "Even if she does, there's nothing she can do about it. She used Huai Shui on her sword, which neutralizes the spirit-absorbing stone's function. Can she produce another sword? Master inquired about it, but Song Juyao only commissioned one sword, without any backup."

"In that case, it's all up to you tomorrow," Bei Jiayuan remarked. Zeng Can and Bei Jiayuan exchanged glances, recognizing each other's unease. In truth, neither of them wanted to further provoke Song Juyao, but they dreaded facing reprimands for monopolizing the restroom. The judge's demeanor hardly resembled that of a judge.
