Chapter 14: Victory at the Underground Palace

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the entrance of the Underground Palace, the scenery was beautiful and the surroundings were very quiet. Under the bright moon, everything looked poetic and picturesque.

However, Liu Yun was a little depressed. His job was to register the disciples and arrange the disciples who had registered to compete with the disciples who had been selected to enter the Mystic Realm!

However, Bai Weiwei was blocking the entrance of the Underground Palace without a nameplate, which made it difficult for him to carry on with his work.

At this moment, the sky had brightened and the assessment would begin.

Bai Weiwei did not know if Liu Yun had a nameplate or not, but when he came close, she immediately drew her sword and charged forward.

The blade flashed with a cold light and dominating sword energy.

In an instant, it arrived in front of Liu Yun.

When Liu Yun saw this, his eyes were filled with disdain. He drew his sword to block it.

Bang! !

The sword aura followed the sword heart. Bai Weiwei’s swordsmanship was superb, and her sword heart was strong.

Even though Liu Yun was at the first level of Golden Core Realm, he had not honed his swordsmanship for many years, and his cultivation had long been lax. How could he be her match?

After the sparks settled down, the result was obvious.

She pressed the ice-cold sword blade at Liu Yun’s neck.

Liu Yun swallowed, not daring to look at the girl.

At this moment, he felt nothing but fear.

He had only seen a resplendent sword light and didn’t even see how she moved.

Moreover, this sword light was cold and pure without a trace of spiritual energy in it. In just a single exchange, she had defeated him. How could he not be afraid?

She had defeated him with her superb sword technique. Moreover, he had been rude to her yesterday. If she wanted, she could behead him immediately!

However, Bai Weiwei was not a bloodthirsty person, nor was she a killing maniac.

Her plan was very simple.

Didn’t he say that she could not participate in the competition? Then she would fight with other disciples and take nameplates from them. Then they would take her seriously!

“According to the sect master’s announcement, those who are incapable are not allowed to participate in the Underground Palace competition. You have already lost. Please hand over your nameplate. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!” Bai Weiwei said indifferently.

“I, don’t…don’t have a nameplate.”

“Huh?” Bai Weiwei frowned and knocked him out.

You, at the first level of Golden Core Realm, came here without a nameplate. You asked for it.

And at this time, disciples began to arrived each with an emerald green jade plate with their names engraved on it.

Without a word, Bai Weiwei picked up her spirit sword and walked towards the next disciple.

Very soon, one disciple after another was mercilessly challenged by Bai Weiwei. Her sword technique was outstanding, and her sword heart was unbreakable. With the support of the Supreme Yin Scripture, it wasn’t difficult for her to fight against someone of a higher level than hers. Moreover, these disciples were all in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so defeating them was a piece of cake for her.

…

In less than half an hour, Bai Weiwei had taken dozens of nameplates from disciples of Foundation Establishment Realm.

And the news began to spread in the sect.

“Have you heard? There’s a senior sister guarding the entrance of the Underground Palace. Any disciple who tried to get close to the Underground Palace was defeated by her exquisite sword technique. No one can enter! Now she has dozens of nameplates.”

“Yeah, He Long and Yang Mu were both defeated by her. They didn’t last three moves!”

“What? Yang Mu is the First Elder’s disciple, and He Long’s master is the Second Elder. Although they are at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they have the ability to kill enemies of a higher level. Who can defeat these two in a row?” A disciple asked.

“TCH, they are just a group of Foundation Establishment Realm trash. She has dozens of nameplates in her hands, huh? I’ll take them from her,” a disciple at the first level of Golden Core Realm said disdainfully.

“Hehe, what a joke. Don’t embarrass yourself with your first level of Golden Core Realm cultivation. She’d beat you with one finger. Do you know whom this senior sister fought in the first battle? Liu Yun! Liu Yun has been at the first level of Golden Core Realm for dozens of years, yet he couldn’t even withstand a single move from the girl! She is simply a killing machine!” A disciple explained.

“What! When do we have such an awesome person in our sect? Who on earth is she?” The disciple, who had been confident that he could defeat Bai Weiwei, panicked.

“Bai Weiwei.”

Hearing this name, everyone present gasped, widening their eyes in shock.

After the Sword Worship Assembly, everyone knew Bai Weiwei’s name. Not only was she not able to activate the seven-colored profound stone tablet, she did not even participate in the third test. But now, she had defeated two genius disciples in a row, and was even able to defeat people of a higher level!

How could this not shock them!

One had to know that Bai Weiwei had been only at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Only a few days had passed, and she was already half a step into the Golden Core Realm.

It was really infuriating.

But when they remembered that Bai Weiwei’s master was Xuan Yi, they didn’t find it surprising.

After all, Elder Xuan was a genius who was even more talented than Bai Weiwei. No wonder Bai Weiwei was so powerful; she had an even more powerful master.

In fact, they’d be surprised if Bai Weiwei couldn’t defeat these disciples.

It was just that they couldn’t accept the fact that a wastrel had become a genius in a few days.

“But why is she blocking the entrance to the Underground Palace?” A disciple asked in puzzlement.

Other disciples had the same question. No one knew what this girl was up to.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

A group of disciples who loved to watch a good show headed to the Underground Palace.

In front of the Underground Palace, Bai Weiwei stood there dressed in her white robe. Her black hair danced wildly in the wind and her eyes were closed.

During the battles, her spirit energy had been tempering her meridians. At this moment, her body was in the state of soothing qi and transforming it into spirit energy, and there were signs of a breakthrough.

Then, she opened her eyes, and a fierce sword intent flashed in her eyes. A large amount of spirit energy moved around her and then surged into her body.

She was on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm!

Previously, Xuan Yi had had guided her meridians and activated her Supreme Yin physique. After cultivating the wondrous Supreme Yin Scripture, she had advanced to this stage.

Bai Weiwei was pleased, knowing that she was just a few days away from breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

She was even more in awe and admiration of her master, determined to follow her master all her life.

She looked at the nameplates she had obtained. There were eighty-two of them, and most of them were from the disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Bai Weiwei glanced at her fellow disciples who had rushed over and said coolly, “One at a time is too troublesome. I’ll fight all ten of you at the same time.”

“What?” The inner sect disciples asked in disbelief.
