Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Exposure The Earth-Rank Warriors all around turned their eyes toward Bai Shixiong and Zhang Lin. Apparently, they had seen through Xia Liu’s move! “Heh, not bad at all!” Bai Shixiong watched intently for a moment before muttering to himself. “Sect Leader Zhang, what exactly is Xia Liu’s move?” “Sect Leader Zhang, hurry up and speak, I’m dying of anticipation.” … “If I remember correctly, the move he used should be the Sect-Protecting Move of the Taiyi Sect: Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm!” Zhang Lin said slowly. “Taiyi Sect!” “Sect-Protecting Move!” “Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm!” … Upon hearing these three keywords, everyone around began to tremble with shock. Their family or sect archives all had records of it. The Taiyi Sect was a superpower on par with the Immeasurable Sect thousands of years ago. And the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm was famous in the Martial World at that time. Nobody had expected that Xia Liu would know the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Palm of the Taiyi Sect. Because according to the records passed down from their ancestors, unless one was of Elder Level or above, they were not qualified to learn this palm technique. So, was Xia Liu an Elder of the Taiyi Sect now? Hiss! Everyone gasped in astonishment; if this speculation were true, it would be extremely interesting. Once two sects of equal strength, a Taiyi Sect Elder was now participating in a contest at the Immeasurable Sect. Were they giving face to the Immeasurable Sect, or were they here to slap their face? Bai Shixiong no longer displayed his previous pleasure, and his expressionless face was inscrutable. At this moment, a roaring sound suddenly emanated from the platform. Boom! With the sound’s descent, a large pit suddenly appeared on the platform, dust filled the air, and smoke curled upward into the sky. Just as everyone tried to open their eyes wide to see clearly, two figures flew out backwards from the dust cloud. They finally fell to the area below the platform. The two men were none other than Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong. At this time, the two of them were pale, their faces slightly twisted as if they had seen something horrifying. Not only them, the warriors who had previously not discussed Xia Liu’s identity were also shocked. Just now, with a set of bizarre martial arts skills, Xia Liu had suppressed the two men, and following the explosion, they flew backward from the dust. Everything happened too quickly, and no one saw what exactly had transpired. Even Sun Mingcong and Zhang Xiantian probably did not know how they ended up falling off the platform. The whole place was deathly quiet, leaving only one person on the platform! A gentle breeze blew but could not tilt Xia Liu’s figure; the dark clouds above him seemed to be parted by an invisible giant hand, allowing the setting sun to shine down upon him. Clap clap clap… Someone began to clap their hands first, followed by many others who started to applaud. This battle was too thrilling. Xia Liu had overcome two Earth-Rank Mid-Level martial artists all by himself. What was terrifying was that his cultivation was only at the Earth-Rank Primary Level. What was most memorable was not just him as a person but also the martial arts skill he had displayed! “Senior, may I be declared the victor now?” Xia Liu said with a smile, looking at the stunned Mo Feng below. “Eh eh eh… Yes, yes.” Mo Feng immediately came to his senses; the fight just now had been too exciting. Xia Liu’s address of ‘senior’ made him feel a bit bitter. His own cultivation was at Earth-Rank Mid-Level, and yet this guy had easily won against two opponents; Mo Feng felt undeserving of such an honor. “Then now, I announce that this year’s Martial Combat Contest…” “Wait a moment!” Just as Mo Feng was about to announce the results, a sudden and urgent voice echoed through the area. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound; it was Song Jie, the Chief Disciple of the Immeasurable Sect. “Sect Leader, Honored Master, he is the masked man who impersonated the Sect Master’s confidant and fought with me the night before last!” Song Jie looked somewhat excited; he had harbored some doubts when he saw Xia Liu using the Combat Rotation Stellar Shift Technique earlier. After seeing him use a strange move to defeat Zhang Xiantian and Sun Mingcong, he became even more certain—Xia Liu was the masked man! “Hmm? What’s going on here?” “There’s something complicated about this.” “The next part might be even more exciting than the Martial Combat Contest!” … Seeing Song Jie directly accusing Xia Liu, the surrounding martial artists began to feel puzzled. At the same time, they also sensed that the matter was not simple; it seemed like Xia Liu had stirred up some trouble in the Immeasurable Sect. With this, things became interesting. “Oh! Are you certain?” The expression on Bai Shixiong’s face was resolute, and the aura around him underwent a drastic change. The Earth-Rank Warriors sitting quietly around him all felt a subtle, but immense, energy presence. “I am certain, he is the masked man who came to our sect to cause trouble!” Song Jie’s face was filled with conviction. After a moment of silence, Bai Shixiong looked at Xia Liu and said, “Young friend Xia Liu, I can somewhat guess your identity; please give me an explanation.” Seeing Xia Liu surrounded by the disciples of the Immeasurable Sect, Lin Xiaotian, who was sitting on the viewing platform, slowly moved his hand to his hat. Just as he was about to take off his hat, a hand suddenly pressed his down. Hmm? Lin Xiaotian looked sharply and saw that the hand pressing his own was none other than Feng Jiawei! “This has nothing to do with you; you’d better not move rashly,” Feng Jiawei said sternly. “I…” “Don’t speak, just wait and see how things unfold.” … As Lin Xiaotian placed his hand down, a pair of beautiful eyes cast their gaze upon him. However, she quickly shifted her attention back to the war platform. If Xia Liu truly was the masked man, then who was the person he spoke of? “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I concealed my cultivation level only because I wanted to keep a low profile; that’s not a crime, is it?” Xia Liu said awkwardly, facing Bai Shixiong and the many disciples of the Immeasurable Sect. “You still want to argue? The night before last, you stole the clothes of a disciple of our Immeasurable Sect and then infiltrated The Bund, most certainly with ill intentions towards Junior Sister Bai. I caught you red-handed, and then you fooled both Junior Sister Bai and me with your deceit! And you claim to be innocent!” As Xia Liu played dumb, Song Jie roared angrily, and the aura of an Earth-Rank High-Level Peak Warrior burst forth from him, dominating the entire venue with unparalleled pressure. Facing this pressure, Xia Liu didn’t feel too overwhelmed, but it was certainly uncomfortable. Just as he was about to explain, a beautiful yet cold voice came down from the viewing platform, “You told me last night that he had returned. What I would do, what my father would do—now it’s time for you to bring that person out.” Between the long rows of stone seats, Bai Lili, her face veiled, stepped down gracefully. “Lili, you…” Bai Shixiong had noticed his daughter early on, but did not expect that she had come to watch the contest for this reason. “Father, he is a friend of Lin Xiaotian. I forgot to tell you something yesterday: This person said that if the Immeasurable Sect is not kind to Lin Xiaotian, he would make Immeasurable Island disappear from the world.” Bai Lili said aloud, pointing at Xia Liu. Hmm! “Make Immeasurable Island disappear from the world!” “Terrifying!” “Did Xia Liu really say that?” … Hearing Bai Lili’s words, the many Earth-Rank martial artists at the scene began to discuss heatedly. At that moment, Bai Shixiong’s face turned terrifying…
