Sometimes later, Feng Qingmeng arrived with several disciples from the Phoenix Sect, but the man standing at the very back seemed to be looking at the other younger generations arrogantly, and his expression was obvious that he looked down on them.
However, his eyes glistened as he looked at Huo Ziqi and Huo Rui, and he licked his lips as he muttered. 'Hehe, that twins sure are interesting. If I can get them both, I can use them as my cultivation furnaces.'
Feng Qingmeng noticed the man's expression, but she didn't know his thoughts. "Haoran, stop looking at them and focus on this competition first. If you are really interested in them, you can approach them after this competition."
"Yes, Master." Feng Haoran replied with a nod, but he sneered inwardly. 'Humph! I accepted you as Master because of my father's request, but my real Master isn't you!'
However, Feng Haoran was stunned when he saw the female group from the Lotus Sect arrive. 'Oh? Fairy Ling is still as cold as ever, but I feel her face is much prettier than before, and her body looks even sexier. But who is that sky-blue and white-haired woman? I've never seen her before, and she's ravishing.'
Feng Qingmeng couldn't help but shake her head at her disciple like that, and she then warned him. "You better not think about Ling Ling and Ye Jing, for they already have a husband, and their husband is Madam Feng's husband."
"Huh?" Feng Haoran turned to his Master in shock. "Are you serious, Master? Those two women are also the wives of Madam Feng's husband?"
"Yes." Feng Qingmeng nodded to him. "So you better not go near them, or Madam Feng will severely punish you. If that happens, neither I nor your father can protect you, understand?"
"Yes." Feng Haoran nodded repeatedly to her. Even though he wasn't afraid of Feng Qingmeng, he was terrified of Feng Ruxue, especially after witnessing Feng Hong's punishment, and he naturally didn't want to suffer the same fate as him.
After that, Feng Haoran followed Feng Qingmeng to sit in their area, but his eyes kept glancing at the Huo twins, and there was a hint of ill intent in his gaze.

"Who is that guy, Big Sis?" Ye Jing asked as she pointed at Feng Haoran.
Ling Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and she then answered her sister. "If I remember correctly, he is Feng Qingmeng's direct disciple, and his father is also one of the important people in the Feng Clan. However, you don't need to think about him, for he wouldn't dare to approach us, or Big Sis Ruxue will definitely punish him."
"I see." Ye Jing nodded in understanding and turned to look for her husband. "Why hasn't Yun arrived yet?"
"Yun'er told me last night that he wants to train first, so he might arrive late." After she answered Ye Jing's question, Ling Ling immediately turned to the Huo twins and smiled faintly at them. 'Back then, they lost to Sister Yu and Situ Luan, and they seem to be targeting me now, especially since there's still no news about the latter.'
"Junior Sister Ling, it seems they are impatient to face you, and they probably think you are still the weakest among us." Xue Ying told her after noticing their ferocious glances at Ling Ling.
Sun Xinxin shook her head at that. "They should pray not to become Junior Sister Ling's opponent in the early matches, or else they will go home sooner than the last competition."
"That's true." Qiao Yan agreed with her. "Back then, Huo Rui lost badly to Situ Luan, and Huo Ziqi couldn't move against Senior Sister Yu. Even though they have been training for a whole year, they still won't be able to defeat both, let alone Junior Sister Ling."
The other women smiled at her words, for the current Ling Ling was the strongest among them; even Yu Mei was badly beaten in their last spar.
Su Ling suddenly said. "Sister Lingxue, Chen Rong can't wait to have another match with you."
"En." Mu Lingxue nodded to her. "I'm sure Chen Rong has been training hard to compensate for her weakness, so I also can't wait to face her again."
"Even so, you've also trained harder yourself over the past year, so I believe you can still beat Chen Rong, Sister Lingxue." Han Xian said to her.
"You're wrong about that, Sister Xian." Mu Lingxue replied with a shake of her head. "Just look at Chen Rong's look, she looks so confident today, so I'm sure our match will be fierce later."
Han Xian and the others agreed with that; they could also see that Chen Rong's confidence was very high. Suddenly, Tang Wan asked. "Hey, Junior Sister Ling, where is Ling Yun? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"Hmm?" Ling Ling turned to her and then asked in a teasing tone. "Senior Sister Tang, you always tell us that you have no interest in Yun'er, yet you always inquire about him."
"Hehe." Ye Jing giggled and teased her too. "Senior Sister Tang, you better stay away from Yun, or you will fall for him later."
"Humph!" Tang Wan snorted at them. "I would never be attracted to a playboy like Ling Yun! And I'm just curious about him because you two always boast about him in front of us."
Shui Lan smiled hearing that and joined in. "You'd better listen to Ye Jing, for my Master's charm is very strong. So be careful when you meet him later, lest you fall for him without knowing it."
When hearing that, Tang Wan raised her eyebrows, but Yu Mei interrupted them. "All right, you guys don't need to talk about this now, and we should focus on facing our opponents."
On the other hand, Nalan Qing was just silent, and her expression looked a little ugly. Even though they weren't all against her, she felt that their attitude toward her had changed, especially after the fall of the Shui Clan. 'Could it be that they have all discovered my true identity? But how can they find it? After all, I've always acted cautiously during my time in the sect, and no one should know about it.'
Lian Bing shook her head, listening to them, and she then said to them. "All of you listen to me carefully; the competition rules this time will be different from the previous competitions. Unlike before, the competition this time won't be separated by gender, so there's a possibility that you guys will face off against male cultivators."
"Huh?" They all turned to him in surprise, and Yu Mei asked him. "Since when did they change the rules, Sect Master? Why didn't you tell us before?"
"They told me this morning, so I'm just telling you now." Lian Bing replied as she smiled at their shocked expressions. "Since we are about to face a war with those blessed people and demons, they have decided to change the rules, and they hope that all of you will be better prepared to face the upcoming war."
"I see." Yu Mei nodded in understanding. "I'm fine with that, and the new rules are much better."
"Yes." Tang Wan and the others nodded in agreement.
After that, they went to their area and continued exchanging glances with the people they had fought against in the past competition.
.

Before long, Feng Ruxue, Xuanyuan Xue'er, and Long Wang also arrived with their clan members. After that, the three immediately announced new rules, shocking them.
Even though they were shocked by that, many of the males cheered happily and thought they would have a better chance of advancing to the next round if they faced those female cultivators.
Five women suddenly landed in front of them, and their expressions became ugly with their arrival, especially after they recognized the identities of the two women standing at the front because they were Lu Wan'er and Yun Zhu.
But they couldn't recognize the identities of the other three women, for Luo Lan and Su Xin had never left their sect. As for Situ Luan, Lu Wan'er had already given her a pill to change her appearance, or else people would recognize her.
"Lu Wan'er!"
Suddenly, they were startled by a woman's furious scream and immediately turned to her.
"Give me back my two children!" Nie Shuang shouted from a distance as she glared fiercely at Lu Wan'er, but Situ Han held onto her hand tightly.
Seeing that, Feng Ruxue immediately moved to their side, and she knocked Nie Shuang unconscious instantly, shocking Situ Han.
However, Feng Ruxue directly sent a voice transmission to him. 'Patriarch Situ, you'd better hold back your emotions for now, and we definitely won't let them off this time.'
'I understand.' Situ Han replied as he nodded. 'Sigh, I hope we can capture them this time, so I can find Luan'er and Liang'er.'
But alas, Situ Han still didn't realize that his daughter was already in front of him.
On the other hand, Situ Luan didn't seem to care about her parents, and she hugged Lu Wan'er's arm indifferently.
Feng Ruxue sighed softly and returned to her position, but her gaze never left Lu Wan'er, and a faint smile appeared. 'You sure were a fool for coming here, and you won't be able to escape again this time.'
Noticing Feng Ruxue's smile, Lu Wan'er raised her eyebrows and wondered. 'Why is she like that? Could it be that she planned something?'
