**Qingyun Academy, Inner Courtyard, on a small hill.**
In the inner courtyard of Qingyun Academy, nestled among the foothills, a young woman in a white dress stood on the hillside, surrounded by blooming flowers. It wasn’t the flowers that adorned Qing Shihua; rather, it was Qing Shihua who made the flowers around her seem even more radiant and captivating.
The disciples of the inner courtyard lived in a ring around the base of the hills, while the geniuses on the Tiyun List enjoyed the same privileges as the disciples of the Tianyuan, each residing on their own hill. As the seventh-ranked genius on the Tiyun List, Qing Shihua naturally lived alone on a small hill.
“Sister Shihua!”
At that moment, a young girl, panting heavily, rushed up to Qing Shihua, her chest heaving in a way that was almost mesmerizing.
“What’s wrong?” Qing Shihua’s voice was ethereal.
“Zhou Xuan… Zhou Xuan has gone to the Life-and-Death Platform!” the girl gasped.
“Oh?” Qing Shihua’s interest was piqued. “He’s going to the Life-and-Death Platform? The Tiyun List battle is imminent. Why is he there? Is it with Lv Qing’er, Hong Tian, or Su Wenlun?”
“None of them,” the girl replied. “It’s Ye Wushuang, the Ye Wushuang who’s been making quite a name for himself lately!”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shihua’s expression froze.
Ye Wushuang!
It was him!
That guy, he’s probably at the sixth level of the Condensation Meridian realm now, right?
Zhou Xuan, on the other hand, is at the peak of the ninth level!
“Let’s go see!” With that, Qing Shihua’s figure flickered, and she headed down the hill…
Meanwhile, in a secluded valley.
There were quite a few small valleys within Qingyun Academy, each with a pleasant environment ideal for quiet cultivation. These valleys were not permanently assigned to any disciple. However, the entrance to this particular secluded valley was marked with a sign.
**”Wuxin Valley”**
At that moment, two figures entered the valley together. Immediately, an oppressive force emanated from within, pressing down on the two.
“Qin Wuxin, you’re being a bit too overbearing, aren’t you?” one of the figures, a young man in white, laughed. “We just came to see you. Is that really necessary?”
The oppressive force then dissipated.
The two entered the valley and saw, in the center, a stone platform floating on a pool of water. On the platform, a young man in black sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, an intimidating aura subtly surrounding him.
“Qin Wuxin, you’re almost at the Yuanfu realm, aren’t you?” the young man in white, Xiao Jiutian, said with a smile.
“What do you two want?” the young man in black, Qin Wuxin, replied coldly.
“There’s some excitement going on. Want to check it out?” Xiao Jiutian said cheerfully. “Over at the Life-and-Death Platform, Zhou Xuan and Ye Wushuang are having a life-or-death duel. Aren’t you curious?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Wuxin opened his eyes.
The number-one genius on the Tiyun List, at the peak of the ninth level of the Condensation Meridian realm, raised an eyebrow and said, “Ye Wushuang does have some guts!”
“But… Zhou Xuan really has no patience at all.”
Hearing this, Xiao Jiutian laughed. “You can’t really say that. Zhou Xuan’s entire family was executed. He dares not anger the emperor, but naturally, he harbors deep hatred for Ye Wushuang.”
“Qin Wuxin, during the Lingyun Mountain trial, Qin Cangsheng was killed by him. Aren’t you going to take a look at this guy?” Xiao Jiutian asked.
“There’s no need,” Qin Wuxin replied indifferently. “Once the Tiyun List battle begins, I’ll make him wish he were dead.”
“Alright then!” Xiao Jiutian and his companion, Meng Yunhe, exchanged a helpless smile and left the valley.
“Jiutian, how well do you understand Qin Wuxin’s strength?” Xiao Jiutian looked at his companion and said with a smile, “Yunhe, let me put it this way: even if you, the fourth on the Tiyun List, and I, the third, combined our forces, we still wouldn’t be a match for him.”
“This guy is just too strong…” Meng Yunhe was taken aback by this revelation.
Xiao Jiutian, however, remained calm. “There’s no point in worrying about it. Let’s go. He’s not going to watch the excitement, but we will.”
The two set off together, heading towards the Life-and-Death Valley…
By this time, the Life-and-Death Valley had already gathered hundreds of people.
The life-or-death duel between Xiao Yuan and Zhao Qing was indeed quite captivating, but compared to the duel between Ye Wushuang and Zhou Xuan, it paled in comparison.
One was the long-standing tenth-ranked genius on the Tiyun List.
The other was the recently famous descendant of the Ye family.
The clash between these two, especially a life-or-death clash, was simply thrilling to imagine!
