After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

To him, Qin Zhantian was like an adoptive father.

Now that he heard the news that the other party was his biological daughter, he could no longer hide his killing intent and wished he could kill his way to Lingyun Peak immediately!

Seeing Qin Chuan's appearance, Jiang Zhixuan was also startled and quickly said, "Senior Brother Qin, don't worry. Maybe that woman named Yin Jiaojiao from Lingyun Peak isn't the person you're looking for?"

Moreover, Elder Ge Ye, as an inner sect elder, has already broken through to the Profound King realm. You must act with utmost caution!

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of clarity returned to Qin Chuan's eyes. Just moments ago, he had almost been blinded by rage.

Qin Chuan looked at Jiang Zhixuan and said earnestly, "I will remember this kindness and repay it in the future. You should also go and collect your second-place prize from the competition."

After saying that, Qin Chuan turned and left without expression.

……

"Have you all heard? The winner of this year's freshman competition is said to be a disciple who only had a one-star bloodline during the sect entrance assessment!"

"One-star bloodline? You haven't been staying up too late every day, and now you have kidney deficiency and tinnitus, so you just misheard?"

"Get lost! You're the one with kidney deficiency! It's absolutely true. Apparently, he's even a disciple of Master Guan Yueyue!"

"Really? If someone can get first place in the freshman competition with just a one-star bloodline, that's too abnormal..."

"..."

News of the freshman competition quickly spread throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, and similar discussions took place throughout the sect.

After Cao Jun successfully passed the tenth level of the Trial Tower, the one who is currently in the limelight is none other than Qin Chuan, who just won first place in the Freshman Competition!

……

After leaving Shenxuan Peak, Qin Chuan gradually calmed down and headed towards the direction of Luoye Peak.

Let's not even discuss whether Ling Yunfeng is the Yin Jiaojiao he's looking for.

Given Elder Ge Ye's strength, Xuan Wang's current actions would be tantamount to suicide.

The most urgent task at hand is to return to Falling Leaf Peak, refine the bottle of dragon blood to improve our strength, and then go to Lingyun Peak to investigate the truth.

"Ge Ye, you'd better pray that Yin Jiaojiao isn't the family head's daughter, otherwise I'll make you wish you were dead!" Qin Chuan said through gritted teeth, his eyes icy cold.

"careful!"

Just then, Empress Yaoxi's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's expression changed, and he instinctively dodged to the side.

In that instant, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the bushes beside him, then thrust a long sword at Qin Chuan.

"laugh!"

Suddenly, the sound of a sword piercing through clothing rang out, as it grazed Qin Chuan's chest.

Taking advantage of this opening, Qin Chuan quickly retreated, creating a safe distance.

"It's you! Xiao Wen!"

Upon seeing the person in front of him clearly, Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, his face full of coldness.

The person who made the move earlier was Elder Xiao Wen!

"Yes, it's me."

Xiao Wen's face showed regret, and he sighed, "You were so close to dying!"

He had left Shenxuan Peak in a hurry earlier in order to lay an ambush.

During his battle with Gao Kui, Xiao Wen anticipated that Qin Chuan must have expended a great deal of profound energy, and he planned to take advantage of this moment to kill him completely.

"so close…"

Qin Chuan clutched the blood flowing from his abdomen. If it hadn't been for Empress Yao Xi's reminder, his injuries might have been much more severe.

It was because he was distracted by thinking about Yin Jiaojiao that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.

Qin Chuan never expected that Xiao Wen would be lying in ambush here, preparing to kill him!

Qin Chuan thought to himself, "Thank you so much, Senior Yao Xi."

Empress Yaoxi said irritably, "Be more careful next time, and don't get so distracted again. I can't guarantee I can keep saving you forever."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, don't just keep saying thank you, thank you. If you want to express your gratitude, show it with some real actions!"

Practical actions?

Upon hearing Empress Yaoxi's words, Qin Chuan's lips twitched, and his expression immediately became somewhat unnatural. He quickly coughed a few times to cover it up.

As if he had thought of something, Qin Chuan looked at Xiao Wen and said, "You came here for that precious pill and the dragon's blood!"

The only valuable things he had were these two items: the first-place prize he had just won in the competition.

"You're not too stupid!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen sneered, "But that's not entirely true. As long as I get rid of you, it will also relieve Gu Wenxuan of a problem, and he will definitely reward me."

"I see."

Upon hearing Xiao Wen's words, Qin Chuan understood why the other party wanted to kill him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Wen frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said, "I'm smiling because I've always wanted to kill you, but I've never had the chance. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!"

"kill me?"

Xiao Wen curled his lip in disdain. "I think you haven't come to terms with reality yet. If you hadn't dodged quickly, you would probably be dead by now."

Besides, I'm not a piece of trash like Gao Kui; how could I possibly die at your hands?

Without answering Xiao Wen's question, Qin Chuan looked around and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being seen by the people in the sect if you attack me here?"

Xiao Wen smiled and then said, "This is the only way to Fallen Leaf Peak. No one usually passes through here. Moreover, this place is extremely remote, so how could anyone have discovered it?"

"very good."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "It seems you've been lying in wait all along, planning to take my life on the day of the freshman competition!"

"That's natural!"

Xiao Wen sneered, "Originally, I just wanted you to kill him and then go to Gu Wenxuan to claim credit, but I didn't expect you to actually get first place!"

This is an unexpected delight! As long as I kill you, the prize for first place in the freshman competition will be mine, Xiao Wen's!

Having said that, Xiao Wen stepped forward, revealing his true level as a ninth-level Xuan Master.

"go to hell!"

Without another word, he moved and charged toward Qin Chuan.

Upon seeing Xiao Wenchong approach, a hint of seriousness flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes. After all, the other party was an outer sect elder, and his cultivation level was two levels higher than his.

This is also the strongest opponent he has ever faced, and he has to be cautious.

"Mystic Qi Finger!"

Qin Chuan let out a low shout, and a white light flashed from his fingertips, shooting towards Xiao Wen.

Seeing this, Xiao Wen paused, quickly raised his long sword, and with a bang, he only took a few steps back to block the fierce attack.

Xiao Wen looked at Qin Chuan and sneered, "Now it's my turn!"

Although this place is in a remote location, we cannot linger for too long; we must act quickly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wen unleashed his strongest killing move.

"Golden Spirit Sword Technique!"

He brandished his longsword, unleashing streaks of golden sword light. In an instant, countless sword shadows pierced towards Qin Chuan.

"Heaven-Shattering Palm!"

Seeing this, Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he waved his palms, sending a white palm print swiftly towards Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen was somewhat surprised to see that Qin Chuan did not use the martial arts techniques from the competition.

He had even observed Qin Chuan's moves in preparation for this ambush.

He was quite familiar with the Fiery Palm technique, but he never expected his opponent to use a new martial art.

"A mere seventh-level Grand Mystic Master? I don't believe you're my match!"

Xiao Wen sneered, his internal energy surging even more wildly, preparing to break through Qin Chuan's attack and then completely defeat his opponent.

"boom!"

Not long after, the two energies collided, producing a loud bang.

A shockwave swept outwards, snapping many trees in half and leaving the ground in a mess.

"Hmph, a junior like you dares to dream..." Xiao Wen sneered, his face full of sarcasm.

However, the next second, his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes were filled with horror.

The palm print, glowing with white light, did not disappear; instead, it hurtled towards him again.

"Heavens...Heaven-rank martial arts technique!" Xiao Wen's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
