System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

These nearly one hundred young people from Qingtian County, who were cursing under their breath, were mostly from the God and Demon White Bone Continent. Moreover, thirty of them knew what Chen Xuan had done. How could they not be angry and upset?

What a disaster.

Bound by the oath of Heaven, forget about any nonsense about Earth Immortals or Loose Immortals. Even if some legendary Heavenly Immortal from the Nalan Clan were to descend in person, they couldn't forcibly read about everything that happened in front of the Enlightenment Tree.

"Youngster, you're looking for death!"

"Anyone who doesn't want to die, stop right there!"

Despite their own reprimands and orders, these lowly ants still dared to flee in all directions, prompting the three immortals of the Nalan clan to intervene and even begin to suppress them.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you've gone too far in doing this."

A stream of water was about to entangle and bind Chen Xuan and his dozen or so fellow disciples, and just as it was about to succeed...

Shila-

A sharp sword beam swept past.

These streams of water that were winding towards Chen Xuan and his group were annihilated by a sword beam that slashed from afar.

Then a familiar figure blocked Chen Xuan and his fellow disciples' path; it was none other than the Thousand Sword Immortal.

"Disciple greets Master!" Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his master. Of course, Chen Xuan was not afraid of the few Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals who came to stop him. The main reason was that if he made a move and his strength was unleashed, he would immediately become a prime suspect.

In fact, Chen Xuan was not afraid of the five rogue immortals who came to stop him from capturing him. If he were to use all his trump cards and fight to the death, he could not only kill two or three of them, but also save his own life.

However, Chen Xuan could not reveal his trump card at this moment. According to the original plan, now was not the time to openly fight against the Nalan clan.

"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster!"

……

Seeing the Thousand Immortals blocking their way, all the disciples, including Piaoxue, Shanhe, Qinglian, and Fengyue, respectfully clasped their fists, their expressions relaxing. Clearly, the arrival of their Thousand Immortals had greatly reduced the pressure on the disciples.

Immortal Qiandao turned his head slightly to scan the disciples in the sect. When his gaze swept over Qinglian, Piaoxue and the others, he nodded slightly.

Then his gaze fell on Chen Xuan. How could his master not know the strength level of his disciple before he left the mountain?

Immediately, Master Qiandao smiled as he looked at his proud disciple and said, "This experience will undoubtedly be a matter of life and death. Within the secret realm, we cannot intervene and can only let you fight your way through. But once you are outside, as the sect's masters, your safety will be protected by the sect."

That sounds reassuring.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Qiandao's eyes sharpened, and the power of the Sword Dao Domain permeated his body. He slowly turned his head to look at the five people who had come to block his way.

"The growth of juniors always involves the process of elimination and slaughter." Immortal Qiandao looked at the three rogue immortals of the Nalan clan, ignoring the other two who were just there to make up the numbers, and continued, "Countless elite disciples of my Xuanqing Palace have died outside while going down the mountain to explore and train. We have never investigated or retaliated against them. If they are not strong enough, we can only blame them for not being strong enough. There is nothing more to say."

Having said that, Immortal Qiandao looked at the five people with disdain, "But bullying the weak and disregarding one's status is something that Xuanqing Palace cannot stand idly by."

Although Master Qiandao usually stays in seclusion in the sect, meditating and comprehending the Dao, he is not the dumbest person. His words immediately put him on the moral high ground, and he even used the example of the sect's disciples who died outside the sect.

The Nalan clan and the other two immortals, who were choked by the words, turned grim.

Although the Nalan clan had three rogue immortals gathered at this moment, they dared not be careless when they sensed the extremely sharp sword aura emanating from the Thousand Immortals.

The title of Sword Immortal is not something that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry who cultivates the sword can claim.

Sword immortals excel at fighting against overwhelming odds and are masters of slaughter. Moreover, the Thousand Sword Immortals are not unknown figures, nor are they the founders or elders of small sects who hastily broke through to the Void Realm by simply mastering a complete Dao.

This person is hailed as the most likely prodigy to achieve immortality through swordsmanship since the founding of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Palace.

What is the significance of a sword prodigy at the Earth Immortal level?

"Hmph, fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you've misunderstood." Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. This place isn't the three fiefdoms of the Nalan clan, so the three rogue immortals from the Nalan clan reluctantly clasped their fists and explained, "We've come here simply to inquire whether your disciples have seen the whereabouts of three members of our Nalan clan."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Qiandao turned around and glanced at Chen Xuan, Piaoxue, and the others.

Senior Sister Piaoxue, with her keen mind, immediately stepped forward and cupped her hands, saying, "Greetings, seniors. At the beginning of the opening of the secret realm, we did see a prodigy from the Nalan clan. However, the three heroes of the Nalan clan did not take a liking to the treasure that we were fighting for. They only glanced at it from afar and left."

As she spoke, Senior Sister Piaoxue took out a rather extraordinary spiritual fruit from the secret realm. Its essence was even inferior to the Demon Blood Divine Fruit that Chen Xuan possessed, let alone the top-tier True Blood Divine Fruit.

Seeing the fruit that Piaoxue was carefully placed in a spirit wood box, the three rogue immortals of the Nalan clan all frowned.

Although these fruits do indeed exude the unique true essence aura of the secret realm, they are certainly not worth considering by the three prodigies of their own tribe.

"Then let me ask you, which member of my clan did you see?" At this moment, the tall, thin old man behind the long-bearded old man also began to ask.

Senior Sister Piaoxue thought for a moment and recalled, "He was a refined and handsome young man. Judging from the magical artifact he was using to fly at high speed, it was a flying sword that was scorched by raging fire."

Piaoxue handled the situation calmly and flawlessly, and had already considered many small details. She said that she saw it from afar at the beginning of the secret realm's opening. During the three years, she had experienced countless life and death situations and met countless cultivators from various star regions. She especially recalled a glimpse from afar three years ago, so she naturally could not describe it immediately.

However, even though Senior Sister Piaoxue had already said this much, the short, bald-headed rogue immortal from the Nalan clan suddenly interrupted and shouted, "Do you dare to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to prove your innocence for what you've said!"

This matter concerns the life and death of Junior Brother Beiming. Senior Sister Piaoxue may not have been weaker than these three Loose Immortals in her previous life, but she still showed a look of fear after being scolded by the Void Realm expert.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing the sect disciple being interrogated and even asked to swear an oath to Heaven, Thousand Immortals never expected that a black longsword emitting dark light and devoid of human figures would immediately appear in his hand, until the bald-headed rogue immortal who forced Piaoxue to swear an oath to prove his innocence appeared.

"Since you've come from afar, I'll give you face and allow my disciple to inform you, but who knew you'd push your luck!" Immortal Qiandao stared coldly at the five people and said, "Since you don't appreciate my kindness, then I, Qiandao, will put my words here. This time, regardless of whether my disciples have seen your clansmen or disciples, even if my disciples kill them, so what?"

"You! What did you say?!" The long-bearded, otherworldly old man shouted, his aura surging. His Nalan clan was the most powerful in the region near the emperor. Even the surrounding princes treated them with respect and courtesy. How could they have ever been looked down upon by a small sect of earth immortals from a remote place?

"A mere sect from Qingtian County dares to disregard the Nalan Clan like this!" The bald-headed old man glared at Immortal Qiandao and rebuked him.
