Chapter 432 The Love and Career of the Beautiful Immortal Venerable 15
Everyone was stunned by the sudden chill, and they unconsciously held their breath.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Qingyun Sect subconsciously took a few steps back, swallowed hard, feeling as if something was blocking their throats, preventing them from making a sound.
"This is the first time I've seen Senior Sister get so angry. It's terrifying..."
A timid disciple muttered softly, his voice filled with fear and awe.
His body trembled slightly, clearly frightened by Ran Cang's imposing aura.
Everyone knows that the usually gentle and kind senior sister, as warm as the spring sun, can cause unimaginable consequences if she gets angry.
Xiao Yichen has probably really stirred up a hornet's nest this time, getting himself into a huge mess. He is about to face what may be the fiercest counterattack in the history of the Qingyun Sect.
Sui Si stood quietly to the side, hands behind his back, watching everything with a calm expression. He didn't say anything, but simply gave Ran Cang a calm instruction:
"My disciple, do as you please, as long as you're happy."
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a reassuring power, clearly reaching Ran Cang's ears.
After receiving his master's approval, Ran Cang's eyes instantly filled with the madness that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
That madness, like a burning flame, almost consumed her reason.
"What's the point of just playing? If you're going to play, play big."
A strange smile curved her lips, a smile that exuded a chilling ruthlessness, as if she were about to burn the world before her to ashes in the next second.
Then, Ran Cang walked onto the arena with light yet imposing steps, each step seeming to tread on the hearts of everyone present.
Her gaze was fixed on Xiao Yichen, her eyes seeming to want to tear him to pieces.
"Xiao Yichen, weren't you very arrogant?"
"Do you dare sign a life-or-death pact with me, and wager your life right here in this ring?"
Ran Cang's voice was clear yet carried a hint of coldness, each word reaching everyone's ears as if it were a pronouncement coming from an ice cellar.
"Senior sister! No! There's no need to risk your life..."
Upon hearing this, Yi Feng was immediately shocked and hurriedly tried to stop him.
In his view, it was just a competition, and there was no need to risk his life. The price was too high, and he didn't want to see his senior sister put in danger because of a moment of impulsiveness.
Ran Cang abruptly turned his head, his gaze like a knife shooting towards Yi Feng, his madness undiminished:
"Yifeng, are you instructing me on how to do things?"
The voice was icy cold and carried an unquestionable authority, causing Yi Feng to swallow back the words he was about to say.
He opened his mouth, but could not utter a single word. He could only look at Ran Cang with a worried expression, silently praying that his senior sister would not act impulsively.
Upon hearing the agreement, Ji Huan's expression turned extremely grim. He instinctively glanced at Sui Si, his lips moving slightly:
"Senior brother..."
But before he could finish speaking, Sui Si interrupted him.
Sui Si emphasized, his gaze resolute, and said:
"I said, as long as Ran Cang is happy, that's all that matters."
His voice conveyed absolute trust in Ran Cang, as if he would support Ran Cang without reservation no matter what decision Ran Cang made.
He believed his apprentice was capable enough to handle anything.
Ran Cang turned his gaze back to Xiao Yichen, a provocative smile playing on his lips.
"What, Xiao Yichen, are you scared?"
That smile was like a fire, completely igniting Xiao Yichen's arrogance.
Provoked by Ran Cang's words, Xiao Yichen's face flashed with anger, and he sneered:
"Afraid? I, Xiao Yichen, don't even know the word 'fear'! Sign it then, I'll see just how capable you are!"
After saying that, he signed the life-or-death agreement without hesitation, as if he had absolute confidence in his own strength. In his opinion, Ran Cang was just overestimating himself.
At this moment, the people from Qingfeng Sect began to mock them.
"This Ran Cang is truly ungrateful, daring to sign a life-or-death agreement with Senior Brother Xiao. He's practically courting death!"
A Qingfeng Sect disciple with a pointed face said with a disdainful tone, as if he had already stood at the top of the world.
"Exactly! She's never participated in any competitions, she's completely unknown, yet she dares to challenge Senior Brother Xiao! It's utterly ridiculous!"
Another short, stout disciple echoed him, his face full of undisguised mockery, as if he were laughing at Ran Cang's ignorance and stupidity.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect were secretly worried when they heard these taunts.
"What should we do? Senior Sister's strength is about the same as ours, how can we possibly defeat Xiao Yichen!"
A short disciple spoke with a worried expression, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with anxiety.
"Yes, Xiao Yichen is so powerful, Senior Sister is probably in grave danger this time."
Another disciple sighed as well, his eyes filled with worry. He kept rubbing his hands together, as if that could ease his inner unease.
The tense atmosphere instantly drew everyone's attention, with cultivators from the surrounding area gathering around, and many even rushing over from afar to find out what was going on.
In no time, the area around the arena was packed with people, all whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
Sui Si looked at the increasing number of cultivators around him and sighed inwardly:
Eating melons is human nature.
Some disciples who had a good relationship with the Qingyun Sect were still asking about Ran Cang. When they learned about Ran Cang's true strength, they were all secretly worried for her.
Xiao Yichen was already quite powerful, so he naturally heard what the disciples were saying, which only intensified his disdain.
He looked at Ran Cang, his eyes filled with contempt:
"You think you can fight me to the death? You're dreaming!"
His tone made it seem as if Ran Cang was nothing more than an insignificant ant in his eyes.
Ran Cang, however, paid no heed to Xiao Yichen's disdain. Her expression was cold and stern as she calmly said:
"Let's get this over with quickly. I don't have time to waste on a piece of trash."
Her voice was calm yet full of confidence, as if in her eyes, Xiao Yichen was really just a worthless piece of trash.
She was absolutely confident that she could resolve this battle in the shortest amount of time.
The members of the Qingyun Sect were filled with worry, yet they also harbored a glimmer of hope for Ran Cang, and silently prayed in their hearts:
"Senior sister can do it! Senior sister will definitely win! Senior sister can do it! Senior sister will definitely win!"
At first, the sound was only uttered silently in his heart, but as the unease in his heart grew stronger, the sound involuntarily came out of his mouth.
Just then, some late-arriving monks rushed to the scene.
Before they could recover from the rush of their journey, they were completely bewildered by the tense and strange atmosphere before them.
Among the crowd, a tall, thin cultivator frowned, his face full of doubt.
His gaze swept across the faces of the crowd, finally settling on a Qingyun Sect disciple, and he asked:
"Hey, you guys think that girl, who's about your level, would dare to propose a life-or-death challenge?"
Is she tired of living? Don't try to fool me!
His voice was sharp and abrupt, particularly jarring amidst the noisy crowd, instantly attracting the attention of many.
The Qingyun Sect disciple being stared at, whose heart was already racing with tension, was now thrown into a panic by the question. His mouth reacted faster than his brain, blurting out:
"That's not true! We sparred with our senior sister, and it ended in a draw."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. A hint of insecurity flashed in his eyes as he secretly glanced at his fellow disciples around him.
Everyone's expression was identical, carrying a hint of guilt.
After all, Xiao Yichen had previously dominated the competition, and his strength was evident to all.
Although Senior Sister Ran Cang is usually gentle, they were really unsure whether they could defeat such a strong opponent. They were just trying to encourage themselves and their senior sister.
Everyone was talking at once, arguing endlessly, and the scene was chaotic.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the arena. The sound was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears.
