Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The outer valley of the Qingyun Sword Sect was unusually lively today.

Today is the day of the Qingyun Sword Sect's outer sect's grand competition for newly admitted disciples.

Over the years, disciples who have stood out in the newcomer competition have become the top ten outer disciples and then entered the inner sect to show their talents.

In particular, disciples who win the championship in the newcomer competition often become the new generation of prominent figures in the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Therefore, it appears to be just a competition for newly initiated disciples.

However, many outer disciples temporarily put aside their cultivation to come and watch the competition. Even the top ten outer disciples, except for those who had other matters to attend to and could not return to the sect in time, all came to the scene.

Not only that, even some of the outer sect elders who rarely show their faces came to watch the excitement.

"Fifth Elder, I didn't expect you to have the leisure to come and watch this competition for new talents!"

Above the Outer Valley, a laugh rang out as Seventh Elder Sun Wuli saw Fifth Elder Zhang Ruoyu appear alongside him and immediately greeted him.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder, Zhang Ruoyu, replied with a smile:

"I've come to see if my Sword Sect has produced any new talents."

I never expected the Seventh Elder to have such a refined interest!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seventh Elder's voice rang out again:

"My purpose in coming here is the same as the Fifth Elder's: to see if these little guys can bring any surprises!"

After saying that, the Seventh Elder's eyes flickered, and he spoke again:

"Fifth Elder, I remember when you were recruiting disciples before, you seemed to really admire the disciple who passed the three trials of the Sword Inquiry. Could it be that you came here specifically to see his performance?"

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder glanced at the Seventh Elder and then smiled:

"Seventh Elder truly has discerning eyes!"

After speaking, the Fifth Elder's gaze swept across the entire outer valley, but he did not notice any movement from Chu Yunfan.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly noticed unusual activity at the entrance to the outer valley.

At this moment, at the entrance to the outer valley.

Chu Yunfan had just returned from the Qingyao Mountain Range and was preparing to participate in the Newcomer Competition.

However, as soon as he returned, before he even entered the Outer Valley, he was blocked at the entrance of the Outer Valley.

The person who blocked his way was none other than Wang Ziqiao, one of the top ten disciples of the outer sect.

Behind Wang Ziqiao were two outer disciples with peak Martial Realm cultivation, like his followers.

A peak Martial Realm disciple of the outer sect of Qingyun Sword Sect is considered top-tier even within the entire outer sect.

The fact that two outer disciples at the peak of the Martial Beginning Realm were willing to become his followers shows that Wang Ziqiao's strength is not simple.

"Where did my brother go?!"

A somewhat cold voice came from Prince Bridge.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan replied calmly:

"I don't know you, and your brother has nothing to do with me."

"Get out of the way, you're blocking the way!"

After saying that, Chu Yunfan continued walking forward.

However, the two people behind Wang Ziqiao blocked Chu Yunfan's path once again.

At this moment, Wang Ziqiao's voice came again:

"My younger brother's name is Wang Dali. Since he joined the sect, he has only had major conflicts with you."

He has been missing for more than two months now.

The time he started disappearing was roughly the same as the time you left the sect.

For the two months you've been away from the sect, you've been hiding outside and refusing to return.

Say it again: "My brother has nothing to do with you!"

Wang Ziqiao's voice grew colder and colder, as if he were about to take action at any moment.

However, Chu Yunfan didn't care at all. He pushed the two people in front of him away with both hands and continued walking into the valley.

At that moment, Wang Ziqiao's voice came for the third time.

"If you dare to take another step forward, your fate will be just like this man's!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another outer disciple at the peak of the Martial Beginning Realm suddenly stepped out from the side.

In his hand, he was carrying a person.

When Chu Yunfan saw the person this man was carrying, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

The reason, of course, is not because of fear.

It was because the person being carried was Zhang San.

At this moment, Zhang San was in a very bad situation. His face was bruised and swollen, his hands and feet were hanging limply, and his body was covered in blood.

An ordinary person would only think that Zhang San had suffered some minor injuries.

However, as an "old" traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Chu Yunfan could tell at a glance that Zhang San's hands and feet had been broken.

When Chu Yunfan saw this scene, he felt a tightness in his chest and anger filled his heart.

He didn't look at Zhang San anymore because he couldn't bear to see the other man's miserable state.

He only glanced at Zhang San, but he saw sincerity in the other man's eyes.

It is clear that Zhang San did not choose to betray him.

If Zhang San had told others that he had killed Wang Dali and the other two, he wouldn't be in this miserable state right now.

But what awaited him at this moment was not Wang Dali and his group, but the enforcement team of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan felt a tightness in his chest.

It was because of Zhang San that he was beaten up like this.

Chu Yunfan turned around and stared at Wang Ziqiao.

His eyes were very calm.

However, the calm was somewhat eerie, much like the indifference and detachment of a monster devouring its prey.

"Didn't you say that outer disciples are not allowed to injure fellow disciples at will? Why are you still standing here?"

Chu Yunfan's words were also calm.

But beneath the calm lies a raging fury.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan was not only angry at Zhang San for being beaten like this, but also at the sect's indifference.

Zhang San has been beaten so badly, yet the perpetrator is still standing here so arrogantly.

Chu Yunfan didn't believe that the enforcement team was blind.

If that's the case, then there's only one possibility.

That is, the enforcement team had no intention of handling the matter at all.

At this moment, Wang Ziqiao also gave Chu Yunfan his answer:

"why?

It's very simple, because you are just ants.

The vast Qingyun Sword Sect wouldn't care if an ant was crippled within its ranks.

Of course, they wouldn't care if one or two ants were missing.

At this point, Wang Ziqiao's meaning is quite clear.

If Chu Yunfan doesn't behave, he wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

Unfortunately, Chu Yunfan wasn't easily intimidated.

"Yes! Nobody cares about the fate of an ant."

Chu Yunfan said calmly.

The next second, Chu Yunfan suddenly shot forward.

However, he did not attack Wang Ziqiao. Instead, he took Zhang San back from the other party's men and then walked towards his stone house.

At this moment, Wang Ziqiao's eyes flickered, and he prepared to order his men to continue blocking Chu Yunfan.

However, at that moment, Chu Yunfan's voice came from ahead.

"After the newcomer competition, I will challenge you."

A simple sentence was enough to make Wang Ziqiao stop what he was doing.

"Challenge me? Interesting!"

Wang Ziqiao watched Chu Yunfan's departing figure with a cold smile on his face.
