Just when everyone thought Bai Li Hong Zhuang couldn't control her temper any longer, a perplexing smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Shen Xiuhan, I never expected you, who always put on a righteous facade, to resort to such methods to undermine the confidence of cultivators."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Xiuhan's expression changed abruptly, clearly not anticipating such words from Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
"However, these tactics won't work on me. I've walked through countless people's ridicule, and my confidence cannot be destroyed by someone of your caliber."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang's smile turned cold. As a former clan leader in her past life, there was nothing she hadn't experienced, and she was well-versed in such tactics. While she would employ them against others, it was impossible for anyone to use them against her.
With Bai Li Hong Zhuang's words, the disciples present were dumbfounded. Her actions defied common sense. However, after her reminder, those disciples who were initially confused suddenly understood the true meaning behind Shen Xiuhan's provocation, realizing that they had already fallen into his trap.
Among them, there were few who possessed Bai Li Hong Zhuang's level of perceptiveness. It seemed that they had been fooled by Shen Xiuhan's psychological manipulation even before he confronted Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
In an instant, the impression of Shen Xiuhan had rapidly changed among the crowd...
"Bai Li Hong Zhuang, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Seeing the change in everyone's attitude, Shen Xiuhan couldn't help but feel flustered. He hadn't expected Bai Li Hong Zhuang to be so shrewd. His performance had been extremely natural, and ordinary people wouldn't have noticed it.
It seemed he had underestimated Bai Li Hong Zhuang.
"Stop the nonsense. You haven't seen the true extent of my power! My confidence cannot be destroyed by someone like you."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang's smile turned icy. As she had been the head of a prestigious family in her past life, she was well-acquainted with these tactics. While she would use them against others, it was impossible for anyone to use them against her.
Simultaneously, Bai Li Hong Zhuang exchanged a glance with Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, then swiftly formed hand seals with her hands.
Seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's actions, Shen Xiuhan's gaze grew even colder.
Having spent so much time in the Heavenly Armament Sect, he regarded Bai Li Hong Zhuang as the most troublesome opponent.
If he allowed Bai Li Hong Zhuang to continue developing like this, it wouldn't be long before she surpassed him and took his position in the Vermilion Phoenix Hall.
When Bai Li Hong Zhuang first arrived at the Vermilion Phoenix Hall, what was her cultivation level? In less than a year, she had caught up to this extent.
If given another year, it was likely that she would surpass him. This was not something he wanted to see.
Since Bai Li Hong Zhuang wanted to challenge him now, he would take this opportunity to heavily defeat her.
In the next moment, a torrent of elemental energy surged within Shen Xiuhan's body. Madness flickered in his eyes as he unleashed his most powerful martial technique, demonstrating the disparity between them.
"Crimson Phoenix Blood!"
Shen Xiuhan bellowed, and once again, a fiery-red energy enveloped him. The terrifying aura emanating from him swept through the entire arena, like the awakening of an ancient fierce beast, horrifying and awe-inspiring.
