Chapter 2369
The white crane stared at the three guiding tokens floating in front of it, its heart filled with unbearable frustration and confusion.
Back when he first entered the palace, he endured tens of thousands of years of rigorous trials before barely managing to step into the Bright Moon Palace.
Now, the Supreme Guidance Orders are being sent out one after another as easily as taking something out of a bag. This disparity makes him secretly complain, but he dares not disobey his master's orders.
Just as the entire arena reached its peak of excitement due to the three command tokens, whoosh—
At the same time, two beams of pure white light pierced through the air and landed steadily beside the white crane.
As the light faded, two peerless maidens dressed in cyan and white fairy dresses stood gracefully, surrounded by a faint lotus fragrance. The one in the cyan dress was ethereal and lively, while the one in the white dress was as serene and elegant as an orchid. They were none other than the personal disciples of Daoist Liuyue, whom he had subdued 80,000 years ago—Azure Lotus and White Lotus.
"They are twin lotuses! Legend has it that they were created by absorbing the life force of the ancient immortal battlefield from twin Dao lotuses. They were discovered by Senior Liuyue by chance and protected by a great array for tens of thousands of years before they were able to take human form!"
"He has actually cultivated to the Heavenly God Realm? Such talent truly lives up to the Dao Lord's expectations!"
"What a pair of ethereal beauties! Their looks and temperament are among the best in the world!"
A clamor arose, and the well-informed veteran Immortal King revealed the origins of the two, drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd, their eyes filled with astonishment and awe.
"Senior." Qinglian stepped forward, her voice clear and melodious, and nodded slightly to the True Immortal Puppet. "My name is Qinglian, and this is my younger sister, Bailian. We have come here on the orders of our master."
The True Immortal Puppet nodded slowly, expressionless, and said nothing more.
The white crane and the blue and white lotus exchanged a glance, rapidly exchanging messages with their divine senses. After a moment, they nodded in unison, reaching a tacit understanding.
Bai Lian looked up at Chen Xuan, her eyes crinkling with a gentle smile, her tone soft yet tinged with a hint of probing:
"Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan, those who will fight next can choose their own opponents—either my sister and I can team up, or Senior Brother Baihe can fight alone. I wonder when you will personally take the stage?"
Chen Xuan squinted at the two sisters, and seeing their gazes frequently falling on him, he immediately understood their intentions—they were most likely acting on June's orders to test his true combat strength.
He laughed loudly: "No rush, I won't make a move for now."
He then turned to Dao Yi and the others who had not yet entered the fray, and said decisively, "You will take turns going up and each of you will choose your own opponent!"
"I'll go!" Han Jiuling stepped forward first, his expression resolute—clearly, he had gone through a fierce internal struggle. He pointed to the blue and white lotuses and said in a deep voice, "I choose the two of you!"
"Be careful. If things are not going well, admit defeat immediately. Don't be reckless," Chen Xuan cautioned, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.
Han Jiuling snorted coldly, flipped his hand and took out a dragon spear, the spear shaft shrouded in surging dragon energy, and leaped into the battlefield.
The Qinglian and Bailian sisters exchanged a glance, shook their heads slightly, and looked somewhat indifferent—such confidence was ultimately a bit naive in their eyes.
"Enter! All irrelevant personnel, retreat from the battle area!" the True Immortal Puppet commanded in a deep voice.
The isolation array slowly rose, and white light enveloped the battlefield.
Surprisingly, Bai Lian never made a move; only Qing Lian lightly raised her jade hand, and a blue lotus shadow swept out.
Han Jiuling swung his dragon spear with all his might to defend, but he couldn't even withstand a single full attack before the lotus shadow shattered his body and disrupted his divine power. He staggered back several steps and hurriedly raised his hand to admit defeat: "I surrender!"
The White Crane and the Azure Lotus have very different fighting styles, but both are formidable opponents and not to be trifled with.
Han Jiuling suffered a crushing defeat and was forced to leave the stage, followed immediately by Fusheng taking the stage.
"Bang! Bang!" After two loud crashes, Fusheng, his face pale, admitted defeat: "I...I surrender!"
Subsequently, Tianmang, Fengyao, Xuanye, Tianyi, Chenxi, and Xuanyi took the stage in turn.
Even though everyone chose opponents they thought they could contend with, they still couldn't withstand the terrifying power of the three.
Only Xuan Yi and Tian Mang, with their solid defensive skills, barely managed to withstand the second move. Before the third move could land, they wisely conceded defeat.
Among them, the most outstanding was Tianyi, who was proficient in the Dao of Formations.
