Hearing such harsh words, the expressions of Wei Tong, Fu Qiuchan, and the rest instantly sank while Yue Kun smiled coldly, “The members of the Sword Sect are really as arrogant and overbearing as the rumors say!”
Soon after, the several sword gleams disappeared and were replaced by four men in purple robes. None of them concealed the sword intent they released.
The leader was a young man with an indifferent expression. His sword intent was like a flood, and there was a single word ‘first’ printed on his chest. It was very eye-catching.
Wei Tong’s gaze stopped before his chest for a few seconds, and then his pupils constricted slightly as he said, “You’re Wang Yan from the Sword Sect’s First Peak?”
“I didn’t think that there would actually be someone who knows my name!” Wang Yan glanced indifferently at everyone, his brows filled with pride.
Following his words, Fu Qiuchan and the rest were instantly shocked. They were both surprised that he was a member of the Sword Sect’s First Peak, and they were surprised that he was the No. 1 inner disciple of the Sword Sect, Wang Yan.
It was common knowledge that the Sword Sect had a total of nine peaks, and the First Peak was the most powerful amongst them. All the sect masters of the Sword Sect had come from the First Peak, and the resources and reserves of the other eight peaks gradually weakened, causing them to be far inferior to the First Peak.
Yet now, the Sword Sect had actually sent someone from the First Peak to attend the birthday celebration of the Xiao clan, and it was even the No. 1 inner disciple of the First Peak. How could they not be surprised?
Fu Qiuchan said thoughtfully, “Senior Brother Wang, isn’t your sect always at odds with the twelve ancient clans? Why would you attend the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration?”
“It’s simple!”
A wisp of a smile appeared at the corners of Wang Yan’s mouth, “Because the Xiao clan, Bai clan, and the other five great ancient clans have already submitted to my Sword Sect a few months ago. Since they’re members of my Sword Sect, it can’t be any more appropriate for my Sword Sect to attend the birthday ceremony, right?”
Everyone was shocked by his words.
Besides the three sects and four groups, the strength of the 12 ancient clans was the most powerful. Presently, almost half of the sects of the 12 ancient clans had submitted to the Sword Sect, so did that not mean that the Sword Sect’s strength had risen explosively and was ahead of the other sects?
“Let’s go!”
Wei Tong was shocked by the news. With a wave of his hand, he led his men back to the spirit boat and steered it towards the distance.
“The transportation tool you’re waiting for is really too poor. It’s not as fast as my Sword Sect’s Sword Control Technique!” Wang Yan seemed to laugh disdainfully. He rode his sword gleam and followed closely behind, and in the blink of an eye, he overtook the Spirit Talisman Sect’s spirit boat.
Yue Kun was so angry that his face turned ashen, “Junior Sister Fu, look at this guy. He’s so arrogant that he’s almost looking down on us!”
“Senior Brother Yue, why are you so angry? The three sects and four groups each have their own strengths. They are merely tools for transportation!”
Fu Qiuchan was rather calm, “Let’s go!”
With that, the Green Bat Beast flapped its wings again and chased after the people from the Spirit Talisman Sect.
Ye Chen’s gaze was fixed on the few sword gleams at the front. He wanted to take the opportunity to ask Wang Yan about Ye Wushuang earlier. However, he was too fast and Ye Chen did not have the chance.
After the incident with Wang Yan, the expressions of the members of the Star Sect became slightly unsightly, and they criticized the Sword Sect.
Ye Chen glanced at Fu Qiuchan and said at the right timing, “Ms. Fu, I heard that there’s a person in the Sword Sect called Ye Wushuang. I wonder how he compares to Wang Yan earlier?”
As soon as he spoke, everyone could not help but look at him with strange gazes, as if they were looking at a fool.
In the end, it was Fu Qiuchan who shook her head, “Since you know Ye Wushuang, why would you ask such a question?”
“Is Ye Wushuang more powerful than Wang Yan?” Ye Chen asked.
“He’s not just more powerful!”
Yue Kun smirked coldly, “Wang Yan may be the No. 1 inner disciple of the First Peak and a peak martial venerable at the same time, but what is he to Ye Wushuang?”
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and chuckled, “I heard that Wang Yan was almost killed by Ye Wushuang with one sword move. If the Sword Son of the First Peak helped, can this guy still be so arrogant?”
“Brother Yue, is this Ye Wushuang that powerful?” Fu Qingqing could not help but ask, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
The scene of Wang Yan and the rest riding their sword gleams over had truly shocked her. She initially thought that Wang Yan was already very formidable in the Sword Sect, but she never imagined that there was still Ye Wushuang who was even more formidable than him.
“Of course!”
Fu Qiuchan explained patiently, “The Sword Sect has a total of nine peaks, and every peak has a Sword Son. The Sword Son is equivalent to a real disciple of our Star Sect, and the future successor of the sect will be chosen from these people in public, and their status is only inferior to the elders.
“It seems like even Wang Yan had to bow respectfully in front of a Sword Son, not daring to show the slightest disrespect!”
When she spoke up to here, she seemed to be filled with admiration as she said, “This Ye Wushuang is a disciple of the Sword Sect’s Ninth Peak—Humble Peak. Supposedly, this person has only joined the Sword Sect for less than half a year, yet he has already grown from an ordinary disciple to a Sword Son. He has revealed an extremely terrifying natural talent, and he has even suppressed the Sword Sons of the seven peaks!”
“Wow!”
Fu Qingqing cried out in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, “This Ye Wushuang actually suppressed seven Sword Sons?”
“Isn’t that shocking?”
Fu Qiuchan saw their expression, she was not surprised at all. In fact, when the news about Ye Wushuang spread throughout the Kunlun Ruins, countless sects and forces were shocked. Even she was no exception. For a time, she viewed Ye Wushuang as her lifelong role model.
“Let me tell you something even more shocking!”
Fu Qiuchan paused for a moment and slowly said, “In fact, since the Ninth Peak Master of the Sword Peak died 20 years ago, the Sword Peak has always been leaderless. This caused the Ninth Peak’s position on the Sword Peak to plummet. In the end, it even almost got disqualified.
“Over the past 20 years, the Ninth Peak barely recruited any new disciples every year. Some of the old disciples went to join the other eight peaks for a better future. In the end, there were less than ten living people in the Ninth Peak!”
She took a deep breath in and said, “Back then, an elder of the Ninth Peak brought a young man back from outside. When the other eight peaks saw the Ninth Peak make a fool of themselves, they found out this young man possesses one of the ten Sword Bodies, the Undying Sword Body!
“As soon as the news spread, the entire Sword Sect was stirred. Even the sect master of the Sword Sect came out of closed-door cultivation to meet this young man. Moreover, the First Peak to the Eighth Peak even made a huge promise to recruit this young man into their sect!”
Yue Kun took over the topic and said, “Everyone thought that this guy would leave the Ninth Peak. Even the elders of the Ninth Peak felt that the Ninth Peak had no resources to nurture him and advised him to go to the First Peak. However, this guy refused and was willing to stay in the Ninth Peak!”
At this point, even he could not help but show admiration on his face, “His rejection caused the First to Eighth Peaks to view him with hostility. They even tried to suppress the Ninth Peak. However, even so, they could not stop this young man’s rise!
“Half a year. In just half a year, this guy rose from the desolate Ninth Peak. All the disciples who went to the Ninth Peak to challenge him were defeated by him. In the end, the Second to Eighth Peak even sent Sword Sons to challenge him!
“However, these so-called Sword Sons were still no match for him. The seven Sword Sons of the seven peaks joined forces but were still suppressed by this young man alone!”
Everyone was shocked to hear that. What they did not notice was that Ye Chen was holding his daughter’s hand tightly with pride in his eyes!
Fu Qingqing’s eyes lit up, “Sister, doesn’t that mean that Ye Wushuang is the No. 1 Sword Son in the Sword Sect?”
“No!”
Fu Qiuchan and Yue Kun both shook their heads.
Fu Qiuchan sighed lightly, “As I said earlier, the Sword Sect has a total of nine peaks. The First Peak is the most powerful, and the Sword Sons suppressed by Ye Wushuang are all from the Second Peak to the Eighth Peak.
“Apart from the sect master, the most mysterious person in the Sword Sect is the First Peak’s Sword Son, Su Qilin. This person has suppressed the Sword Sect’s younger generation for 20 years!”
“That’s right!”
Yue Kun nodded, “Therefore, the No. 1 person among the younger generation of the Sword Sect is the Sword Son of the Sword Sect’s First Peak—Su Qilin. After Ye Wushuang suppressed the Sword Sons of the Seven Peaks, the Sword Son of the First Peak finally made his move!”
“Then what happened? Tell me!” Fu Qingqing was nervous.
“Defeated!”
Yue Kun shook his head slowly, “Ye Wushuang lost. That defeat broke his legend. Su Qilin used Ye Wushuang killing his fellow disciples as an excuse to suppress him on the cliff of the First Peak to repent!”
Crack…
At that moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of joints cracking. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Chen clenching his fists tightly. His gaze was unusually cold.
“Brother Ye, are you alright?” Fu Qingqing asked worriedly.
“I’m fine!”
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and suppressed the killing intent inside of him. He said while smiling, “It’s just that I can’t help but feel angry for such a genius to have encountered such an incident.”
Yue Kun glanced at him and did not think much of it. He continued, “After Ye Wushuang was suppressed, Elder Qing Xuan of the Ninth Peak suddenly flew into a rage and flew to the First Peak to issue a challenge. The peak master of the First Peak accepted the challenge and was suppressed by Elder Qing Xuan directly!
“That battle shocked the entire Sword Sect. No one had expected that after the previous peak master of the Ninth Peak died, Elder Qing Xuan, an elder who kept a low profile, was actually able to defeat a peak master, and it was even the peak master of the First Peak!
“Elder Qing Xuan also revealed his Emperor Stage cultivation base in that battle. In the end, the Sword Sect’s sect master personally stepped in to resolve the dispute and released Ye Wushuang!”
Fu Qingqing cheered, “Well played, well played!”
Fu Qiuchan interrupted her, “However, after Ye Wushuang came out, he immediately issued a life-and-death battle to First Peak’s Sword Son, Su Qilin. There’s a one month deadline!”
“A life-and-death battle?” Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold.
“That’s right!”
Fu Qiuchan nodded and said, “It’s indeed a life-and-death battle. Now, if we calculate carefully, there are still seven days until the one month deadline. In other words, after seven days, only one person can live between Ye Wushuang and Su Qilin!”
Hearing such harsh words, the expressions of Wei Tong, Fu Qiuchan, and the rest instantly sank while Yue Kun smiled coldly, “The members of the Sword Sect are really as arrogant and overbearing as the rumors say!”
Soon after, the several sword gleams disappeared and were replaced by four men in purple robes. None of them concealed the sword intent they released.
