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

However, although somewhat shocked by the Seventh Elder's words, Chu Yunfan remained outwardly calm and replied with an innocent expression:

"Seventh Elder, this disciple cannot bear such a joke."

"My disciple is a model citizen and an exemplary youth in the surrounding area. How could he commit such a heinous act as murder!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, the Seventh Elder merely smiled mysteriously, then whispered in Chu Yunfan's ear:

"Kid, stop pretending!"

To be honest, if it weren't for the wind sword intent emanating from you, I might actually have believed your nonsense.

Of course, if you don't have this sword intent of wind.

Your fate now is far worse than that of Wang Wuzhi and the other two; death is too good for you!

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's expression finally changed.

"I only just finished mastering the first move of the 'Whirlwind Sword Technique' these past few days, thus comprehending the sword intent of wind. But I have never used it in front of outsiders, nor have I told anyone. How did Seventh Elder find out?"

Seeing the change in Chu Yunfan's expression, the Seventh Elder seemed to guess what he was thinking and continued:

"You must have just grasped the essence of swordsmanship and don't know how to restrain it."

Therefore, in my opinion, the wind sword intent on you is as conspicuous as a candle in a latrine.

Of course, you don't need to worry too much. The reason I can see it so clearly is because I have a high level of cultivation and am very familiar with sword intent.

"For anyone else, as long as you don't use this sword intent, it will be difficult for them to detect it; it can still be used as your trump card!"

After saying that, the Seventh Elder continued:

"Kid, aren't you curious now that we clearly know you killed Wang Dali and the others, yet we let you get away with it?"

The Seventh Elder stared at Chu Yunfan with a strange expression that seemed to be teasing him, just like a mischievous old man.

Unfortunately, he failed this time because Chu Yunfan didn't ask him why, but instead told him himself.

"It's because of the sword intent within me!"

How did you guess it so quickly?

The Seventh Elder stared at Chu Yunfan, looking displeased.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan waved his hand.

"As you said at the beginning, it was because of the sword intent within me that I didn't end up in a worse state than Wang Wuzhi and the others."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder slapped his thigh forcefully.

"Holy crap! He's getting senile!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seventh Elder's expression suddenly turned very serious.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense, let's get down to business."

Wang Ziqiao also has a cousin named Wang Tianba, who is now an inner disciple.

Wang Tianba is also quite talented; at a young age, he has already cultivated to the Martial Grandmaster realm.

You killed Wang Dali and others, and caused Wang Ziqiao's cultivation to be crippled and him to be expelled from the sect. Wang Tianba will definitely try to deal with you.

This is your personal feud; the sect won't interfere. Be careful.

Okay, that's all, you can go now!

After saying that, the Seventh Elder waved to Chu Yunfan, signaling him to leave.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan took his leave.

"Thank you for the reminder, Seventh Elder. This disciple will take his leave now!"

Just as Chu Yunfan turned to leave, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"The Martial Beginning Realm is the foundation of all cultivation realms. Only by laying a solid foundation can one benefit from subsequent cultivation."

Remember, don't rush to break through to the Martial Master realm; just let it happen naturally!

Upon hearing this voice, Chu Yunfan was startled. He turned around, bowed solemnly once more, and then left the main hall.

The voice just now was clearly that of the Fifth Elder.

After leaving the main hall, Chu Yunfan headed towards the outer valley.

To his surprise, the final round of the rookie competition, the top ten ranking tournament, had not yet begun.

"I've been in the Enforcement Hall for so long, the Newcomer Competition should have ended long ago, so why hasn't it started yet?"

Just as Chu Yunfan was filled with doubt.

An outer sect steward noticed Chu Yunfan's arrival and immediately announced:

"The Rookie Competition Top Ten Ranking Tournament officially begins!"

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Yunfan was stunned for a moment before realizing what it meant.

"So you were waiting for me!"

Chu Yunfan's thinking was certainly not due to narcissism.

What a coincidence! The ranking tournament hadn't started until he arrived.

It is obvious that this is the work of the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder.

As for why we waited for him to arrive before starting, the reason is quite simple.

"It seems that the two elders want to see my strength."

Since that's the case, in order not to disappoint you, I'll just have to show off!

Chu Yunfan thought to himself, then leaped onto the arena and shouted:

"All nine of you, come at me together!"

Upon hearing this, the once noisy outer valley fell silent, and everyone stared wide-eyed at Chu Yunfan.

The remaining nine of the top ten in the newcomer competition were also keeping an eye on Chu Yunfan.

However, their faces were filled with anger.

One against nine? You think you're so tough?

This is the shared sentiment in their hearts.

Those who can break into the top ten of the newcomer competition are all the best in the outer sect, and can be called geniuses in the entire Qingyun Continent.

Even in a one-on-one situation, they are not willing to submit to anyone else.

Moreover, it's nine against one.

Chu Yunfan's words clearly showed that he didn't take them seriously, and his tone was like "I'm the best in the world, and you're a bunch of trash."

This naturally made them very unhappy.

Moreover, it would be dishonorable for nine of them to defeat Chu Yunfan alone, and it would be even more shameful to lose.

Therefore, they obviously wouldn't do something so foolish.

However, Chu Yunfan didn't care about them. Seeing that the nine of them didn't react, he shouted loudly:

"What, you nine little trash, you don't even dare to come at me together?"

These words thoroughly enraged the nine people.

"You bastard! I'll kill you today!"

I'm going to beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!

"I'll beat the shit out for you!"

……

With a series of angry roars, the nine people were immediately united in their hatred and charged towards Chu Yunfan together.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan revealed a wicked smile:

"1v9 in the Rift, shouting 666!"

Then, a silver needle flew out of Chu Yunfan's hand.

Instantly, a dozen or so flashes of cold light appeared. The people at the forefront, despite immediately raising their swords to defend themselves, were still struck between the eyebrows by silver needles.

Then he stood there dumbfounded.

By the time the others had bypassed them and reached the front, Chu Yunfan was already standing in front of them.

"Within ten steps, I am invincible!"

As Chu Yunfan's laughter rang out, the long sword in his hand instantly created more than a dozen afterimages.

A few clanging sounds were heard, and before anyone could see what was happening, they were stunned.

The next second, they saw that the remaining few of the nine people had all their swords knocked away, and their left hands were clenched into their right, trembling incessantly.

"Is this kid a monster?! His sword speed is so fast, and his strength is ridiculously strong!"

Now they finally understood why Chu Yunfan had made them all go together.

Because if they attacked together, they could withstand at least two moves.

If it's a one-on-one fight, then he'll be instantly killed.
