Although Yu Luan had some discontentment about continuing the competition, he was a man of action. In just a morning, they really began the competition promptly after deciding on doing on.

Instead Lonemoon and gang arrived later as they were having lunch. When they arrived, all the Elders were already gathered on the viewing platform, Tian Ji also sat on the topmost seat, instead, Tian Yi that technical homebody fan boy wasn't here, he'd just bought a batch of herbs from nameless peak the other day and was most probably refining pills again.

Yi Qing flew directly towards the viewing platform, glancing at the two empty seats in the middle, he habitually stepped to the side for Shen Ying to sit down then turned black to glance at Father Niu and seemingly hesitated for a moment before settling into the only empty seat with no qualms.

Lonemoon: "..." Son of a b*tch!

Though with his identity now, he shouldn't be taking a seat, but... what the hell was Chef's look of 'since the food allowance for this month has been collected'?!

Somehow very displeased!

Tian Ji turned and looked at the few of them, seeming to be reminded of something, his expression contorted for a second and recovered immediately and he turned away as if nothing had happened.

Instead, Yi Qing darted a look at him, his eyes darkened as he subconsciously sent a voice transmission and whispered, "His body's..."

"Demonic Qi is gone." Lonemoon finished directly. "I already realized this morning in the Great Hall, the demonic Qi in his body has disappeared."

Yi Qing's eyes darkened further, had they guessed wrong?

Previously when the Protective Mountain Array was suddenly activated, they'd guessed that the person who killed Elder Yin and hid in the sect could be Tian Ji. He'd imprisoned Zhong Yi for so many years and came into contact with that earth demon for too long. Even if he had the cultivation of Soul Formation, it was impossible to be totally unaffected. Besides, the first time they saw him, he already showed signs of turning demonic that was only suppressed by Shu Yi using the system.

So, he was their first suspect. However, Chef had specially examined him using divine perception that day and did not find demonic Qi on him. Subsequently, when they learned of the system's means of locking in demonic Qi, they thought that he too had long turned demonic Qi and only had his demonic Qi locked in by the system.

Yet this time, he was totally clean, not a trace of demonic Qi on him, neither did he look like he had anything concealed by the system. He just looked like an ordinary Soul Formation cultivator and that made things odd.

If he hadn't turned demonic Qi, where did the demonic Qi that Shu Yi locked in Zuo Shuming's body come from?

Before they could think further, the competition below had begun. Elixir-refining cauldrons lined a side of the arena, a dozen of disciples were already holding spirit herbs and starting to refine pills, in moments, the entire space was filled with the fragrance of elixirs and turned smoky.

In contrast, the other side of the arena was much simpler and calmer. The spells match from the previous time was only left with the finals between Zuo Shuming and Shu Yi, now, naturally only the two of them needed to compete in one match.

Shu Yi was already waiting outside the stage way in advance, her sharp eyes swept a glance at Zuo Shuming who was looking over and didn't seem like she wanted to bother with him.
