Chapter 1354 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (9)

Perhaps it was a twist of fate, but when Li Guang and her family went out shopping to keep their appointment with Su Muyan, they unexpectedly saw several renowned disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The leader was dressed in snow-white robes, with a long sword at his waist. He had an incomparably handsome face and was surrounded by a chilling sword aura. As he walked, the surrounding cultivators would turn their heads and give way, all of them praising him in hushed tones.

"That must be Baili Chengzhou of the Heavenly Sword Sect! He certainly has an extraordinary bearing!"

"With late-stage Golden Core cultivation and innate sword bones, he is undoubtedly the number one prodigy of this generation!"

"I heard he is a direct disciple of the Mahayana Venerable, and will surely be the successor to the Heavenly Sword Sect's sect leader in the future!"

Hearing the murmurs, Li Guang looked up and her gaze met the man's.

After several years apart, Baili Chengzhou was even more spirited than before, his arrogance and indifference were even greater, and his sword aura was as sharp as a knife, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.

His gaze swept across the crowd, and when it landed on Li Guang's face, he only glanced at her briefly before looking away without any emotion, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.

He didn't recognize her at all.

The Li Guang before him was no longer the gentle and delicate Chun Xing, his wife from years ago. She possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, was accompanied by Lu Jinghong, and had children around her. She had undergone a complete transformation, as if she were two different people.

Yes, how could someone like that be Baili Chengzhou's deceased wife? And how could she possibly attract his attention?

Baili Chengzhou didn't even linger on her for a second longer before saying to his fellow disciples behind him, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll return to the sect first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left, leaving behind a chilling aura of sword energy as his robes fluttered in the wind.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't even have time to try to persuade him to stay. Several women looked regretful and whispered that their martial uncle was too cold and had no patience for his fellow disciples. They guessed he had gone back to practice his sword again.

Li Yao frowned and tugged at Li Guang's sleeve: "Mother, that person's eyes are cold and emotionless."

Li Guang's voice was gentle yet tinged with coldness: "What emotions can someone who cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness have?"

Li Yao was somewhat surprised, not only by the person's cultivation direction, but also by her mother's attitude.

Does Mother know that person?

"Let's go, Su Muyan should have arrived by now."

Li Guang turned around, and Lu Jinghong quickly followed with his children.

Although Li Guang wished she could kill Baili Chengzhou with her own hands, she was in no hurry.

The Gathering of Prodigies is about to begin, and it's only a matter of time before I face off against Baili Chengzhou.

She had a premonition that the Heavenly Pride Tournament would be the perfect opportunity for her to take revenge.

The pain and betrayal he inflicted on her back then, he will one day repay a thousandfold.

He cares about cultivating the Tao, so destroy his Tao!

After spending half an hour with Su Muyan, both sides returned to their respective residences to prepare for the upcoming Heavenly Pride Conference.

This period was also turbulent. While open fighting was prohibited within Heavenly Sword City, underhanded schemes continued. Several outstanding disciples of the Thundercloud Sect perished, and the sect elders had strictly forbidden disciples from leaving the area before the Heavenly Pride Tournament.

Li Guang naturally instructed her children to cultivate diligently, stay indoors, and be careful about anything they came into contact with.

Lu Jinghong and Li Guang both signed up quietly, without making a big fuss about their extraordinary abilities, so they were not scrutinized much.

On this day, Li Guang was discussing the Dao with Lu Jinghong when, at that moment, a bell suddenly rang out from the central arena of Tianjian City in the distance, its loud sound echoing throughout the city and resounding through the streets and alleys.

"The Gathering of Prodigies - Officially Begins Tomorrow!"

"All participating disciples, proceed to the central square to assemble!"

The resounding bells heralded the imminent start of a fierce battle among the younger generation that would sweep across the entire cultivation world.

Li Guang looked up at the towering stone steps in the distance, a glint of light in her eyes.

It's been a long time since we've had a competition!

Expectation!
