Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

After stopping the fight between the two, Elder Ge then turned and went into the various rooms to check.

"The fourth layer of the grand formation is intact, and the array nodes in each room are functioning normally. Are you sure there was no spiritual energy just now?"

After the inspection, Elder Ge asked everyone with a stern face.

Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow. No spiritual energy? Her room had plenty of spiritual energy just now... But she didn't want to make an exception, so she'd just pretend there wasn't any...

"No, there really isn't. There's no way we could all team up to lie to you!" The other disciples were equally baffled.

"Strange! You can go back in now, and we can talk if you have any more questions!"

"Elder Ge, what about our contribution points...?" a disciple asked cautiously. He had only been there a short time, and he couldn't let these contribution points go to waste...

Elder Ge looked them over and, seeing that none of the twenty-five people seemed to be faking it, said, "The contribution points will be returned first. Now, take out your identity jade tokens!"

Everyone was overjoyed and quickly took out their items. Ye Wuxi touched his nose, thinking, "Such a good thing? I can't let this opportunity pass me by!" So he also took out his item, and Elder Ge flicked out dozens of beams of light from his fingertips, which then entered the twenty-five identity jade tokens.

"Alright, don't bother this elder again if there's nothing else!" Elder Ge said, then walked away leisurely without even looking at the crowd.

After Elder Ge left, Zhong Xiang, who had been silent all along, turned to Ye Wuxi and said, "Don't think that just because you've taken a senior alchemist as your master, you can be arrogant. In this sect, strength is what matters. Do you dare to go out and fight me fair and square?"

Ye Wuxi sized him up and down, then sneered, "Peak of the eighth level of Xuanwu, not bad! But if you challenge me, you have to follow my rules!"

Zhong Xiang scoffed, "You've got quite the nerve. I've heard about your fight with Zhang Haonan; it was nothing more than a bet on spirit stones. This young master certainly doesn't care about that!"

Ye Wuxi flashed a row of gleaming white teeth, "No, I'm more interested in your life. It's either a fight to the death, or if you're too scared, get out of my sight immediately!"

Interrupting her cultivation almost caused her an accident; a few spirit stones can't solve that. She only wants to kill!

Those around her gasped in shock at her words. A new disciple going to war with the fifth-ranked inner disciple? This was unheard of.

Zhong Xiang laughed wildly, "If you're looking for death, then don't blame me. But if I kill you, Senior Chi Huo won't come after me, will he? I wouldn't dare!"

Ye Wuxi smiled and said, "You can rest assured, life and death are left to fate. However, don't agree too quickly. It would be better to go back and ask your master first. It wouldn't be good if an elder suddenly appeared to stop you when they were about to kill you!"

The top 100 disciples of the inner sect will generally choose one of the ten elders of the inner sect to become their disciple. Since this person is in the top 50, he is naturally someone who values ​​him. The old man Chi Huo has a good status and strength, but to be precise, he is only an enshrined member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, an unofficial member, and does not belong to the Heavenly Sword Sect as an elder.

"You don't need to worry about that. It's a battle between equals, so the elders naturally won't interfere! Enough with the nonsense, let's just set a time!"

Ye Wuxi said lazily, "A month from now. The outer sect competition is just around the corner. You can't wait that long, can you?"

It's not impossible to compete now, but she sensed that her bottleneck was loosening and didn't want to miss this good opportunity to cultivate. She'd deal with the competition later!

"What harm is there in giving you an extra month to cultivate? We'll meet on the life-or-death arena a month from now, and the loser dies!"

Zhong Xiang laughed loudly and turned to leave the cultivation tower.

Under the astonished gazes of those around her, Ye Wuxi calmly swiped 1,200 contribution points and returned to the cultivation room. She believed that no one would disturb her this time. Judging from the spiritual energy at that time, she estimated that if she stayed inside for six days, there was a 50% chance that her cultivation would break through!

On the futon, Ye Wuxi closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation again. Spiritual energy drifted in from all directions, and in less than an hour, a spiritual energy storm was formed in the room again.

While she floated in the ocean of spiritual energy, the others were in trouble. Those who went back in only enjoyed the spiritual energy for a short while before discovering that the spiritual energy in the room had vanished into thin air.

The people from the twenty-four rooms came out again, cursing and swearing. Elder Ge was also called back, his face still showing displeasure.

What are the disciples on the fourth floor doing? There are no problems on the other floors, but this one keeps having issues.

However, after this inspection, Elder Ge was also puzzled. "What's going on? The array core is fine, but why is all the spiritual energy gathering in the twelve rooms?"

Seeing the lights on in Room Twelve, Elder Ge could only say in a deep voice, "There's an anomaly at the array core of Room Twelve. Let's wait until the people inside come out before we talk. Close the fourth floor for now, and you can go to the other floors!"

"Yes!"

The group bowed respectfully, then left grumbling and cursing. They had never encountered such a strange thing in all this time!

However, with the departure of the fourth-level disciples, the life-or-death battle between the newcomer king Ye Wuxi and Zhong Xiang, ranked fiftieth in the inner sect, stirred up another frenzy...

Last time, Ye Wuxi only caused a stir among the outer disciples, but this time, the inner disciples have also been alarmed, after all, Zhong Xiang's ranking is not low either...

"Which rookie of the year has caused such a stir..."

"However, the outer sect competition is coming soon, so we can take this opportunity to see her strength..."

Inside a palace, the residence of the ten inner elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Xiang'er, you have been studying under my tutelage for a long time. Are you confident in this battle?" An old man stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the main hall.

"Master, I am confident that I will not lose, but does Senior Chi Huo really not care?"

"Since you're confident, then go all out in this battle. Chi Huo isn't in the sect and definitely won't be back for at least a month. Her disciple requested a life-or-death battle, so if she dies, no one else will be spared!"

"Then I can rest assured."

"Yes, go ahead. Don't let your guard down or be careless this month. After all, that person has good talent. If you can defeat her, it will be a test of your martial arts spirit!"

"Yes!"

Several days passed, and in room number twelve on the fourth floor, Ye Wuxi's five-colored true energy became more and more solid. A continuous stream of pure spiritual energy poured in, making her look like a goddess from the heavens.

Just as the six-day usage period of the cultivation room was about to expire, all the spiritual energy in the room was directly poured into Ye Wuxi's body, and the five-colored true energy swirling around her body also disappeared into her body at the same time.

Ye Wuxi opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze captivating.

"Finally, I've broken through to the fifth level of the Xuanwu realm!"

Ye Wuxi examined his dantian and murmured, "This cultivation tower is indeed a good place, very suitable for my physique. It's a pity it consumes too many contribution points. I must win first place in this competition!"

After sighing, Ye Wuxi pushed open the door and went out, only to find a familiar old man sitting cross-legged in front of her.

"Hello, Elder Ge?"

Elder Ge stood up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You've finally come out!"
