“No!”

"Master Sword Master, please think twice!"

The high-ranking officials present at the Ten Thousand Swords Spiritual Domain all spoke out to dissuade him, "If the greatest sword sect in the ten realms is not from our Ten Thousand Swords Spiritual Domain, how can we still have the face to call ourselves a holy land for sword cultivation?"

"Master Sword Master, Kaitianmen has existed since ancient times. How could we give up the title of the greatest sword sect to the Taichu Sword Sect, which only has a history of over a thousand years?"

…

Duan Chuan raised his hand slightly, and everyone shut up at once, not daring to interrupt.

Although they couldn't speak, they still used their eyes to signal Duan Chuan not to agree to Jiang Deng's unreasonable request.

"Humph, you're really asking for too much."

Duan Chuan ignored the others and just looked at Jiang Deng with a bad face, "But considering that you do have some talent in swordsmanship, you should not disgrace the reputation of the number one sword sect in the future. What's wrong with me agreeing to you? But..."

"You must pass the interrogation before you can become my sword servant. At that time, I will announce to the world that the Taichu Sword Sect will replace the Kaitian Sect as the greatest sword sect in the Ten Realms."

Upon hearing this, despair appeared on the faces of the senior officials of Wanjian Lingyu.

Lord Sword Master always keeps his word. It seems there is no room for maneuver in this matter...

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Deng was finally satisfied and took the initiative to walk towards Pei Er.

Anyway, she didn't collude with the ghost cultivators. She was an upright person and was not afraid of the so-called interrogation at all.

If Duan Chuan was using this as an excuse to interrogate her, but actually had other motives, then even though she couldn't fight him, she could still run away! At worst, she could just run away halfway.

"Wait! There's another person who needs to be taken away for questioning!"

Pei Er didn't leave immediately with Jiang Deng. Instead, he walked towards Chi Lian in the crowd, saying as he walked, "This person is an abandoned disciple of our Pei family. He was extremely rebellious against our ancestors, spreading rumors and causing trouble. His crimes are too numerous to list... He should be taken back by our Pei family and dealt with. Do you have any objections?"

"I have an opinion!"

Nangong Xiangrui said unconvincedly, "You, the Pei family, should not go too far! Chi Lian is fighting on behalf of my Nangong family, so she is a member of my Nangong family. You can arrest whoever you want, do you want to arrest me too?"

"Second Uncle..." Even Pei Ranzhi, the young master of the Pei family, was stunned. "What are you doing?"

Pei Er completely disregarded Pei Ranzhi's respect and instead accused him, "Pei Ranzhi, as the young master of our Pei family, you actually planned to surrender in a competition just for a woman. How shameful! We in the Pei family don't have a cowardly descendant like you. Reflect on this carefully when you return!"

After saying this, Pei Er completely ignored the reactions of others. He walked in front of Chi Lian and looked up at Chi Lian, who was a head taller than him. "Hmph, come with this elder."

Pei Er was very proud.

Back then, Chi Lian's talent in refining weapons far surpassed that of the Pei family's descendants, which is why she was specially accepted as a disciple by the ancestor. She has always been the focus of the ancestor's attention. When she was at her most powerful, even the direct blood relatives of the Pei family did not dare to offend her.

But who could have known that Chi Lian would eventually become so arrogant that he would even challenge the ancestor?

She is so inflexible that she deserves to be in this situation today!

A glint of pride flashed across Pei Er's eyes, and he sent a message directly to Chi Lian, saying in a voice that no one else could hear, "You little brat, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you? It was my fault that I let you escape last time. This time, you can't escape no matter what I say!"

"escape?"

Chi Lian's expression of dullness and daze disappeared, and he suddenly burst into laughter. "Who said I was going to run away?"

Looking at Chi Lian's fearless look, Pei Er suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Before he could react, he heard a sound of bones cracking next to his ears. Chi Lian's already tall and burly figure suddenly grew even bigger, and his aura was completely different!

From the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it instantly rose to a terrifying existence!

"this……"

Everyone looked surprised. If they were not mistaken, the pressure exuded by this woman was comparable to that of Lord Sword Master!

Pei Yu widened his eyes in horror. He finally understood what was wrong!

Including the hundred years when Chi Lian was missing, she is now hundreds of years old. How could she possibly come to participate in the sword-fighting competition that only young people under the age of thirty can participate?

unless--

Her strength is beyond imagination, having reached the top level of the Venerable, so she was able to change her bone age and sneak in through the pre-match review of the Sword Fighting Competition!

In the competition, Chi Lian continued to perform poorly, unable to even defeat Sun Fei, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage. After repeated failures, people began to let down their guard...

But who could have imagined that after Chi Lian's Dantian was destroyed, without any spiritual energy, she would actually switch from a sword cultivator to a physical cultivator? Even her strength climbed to the top level!

"No, that's impossible!"

Pei Er shook his head desperately, unable to believe what he saw.

Clearly, a hundred years ago, Chi Lian was in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm just like him. Why, after a hundred years, he is still in the Spirit Transformation Realm, while Chi Lian has already entered the Venerable level!

"Haha, thank you so much for this."

Chi Lian laughed out loud and raised her hand to pat Pei Er's shoulder. Even though she had tried her best to control her strength, Pei Er was still nailed into the ground alive by this terrifying force, with only the upper half of his body exposed.

"Back then, if you hadn't forced me to jump off the cliff, I wouldn't have stumbled upon a divine-level body-building technique at the bottom of the cliff. That's how I was able to achieve sainthood with my physical body and reach the level of a Venerable within a hundred years."

Pei Er collapsed.

It was actually him! He was the one who personally gave the opportunity to his mortal enemy!

"No! I don't believe it!"

"I don't care whether you believe it or not!"

Chi Lian raised his hand and slapped Pei Er's head, knocking it away.

The powerful force turned Pei Er's head into powder in the air, and even the soul in his sea of ​​consciousness could not escape and died completely!

“Oh my God!”

"Elder Pei, who was at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, was beaten to death with just a light slap? If it were us, the mere Nascent Soul Realm, would we still have a chance of survival?"

"Oh my god, it's a monster! Run!"

…

Everyone's faces were filled with fear, and they all stepped back, away from Chi Lian in the field, as if they were afraid that Chi Lian would accidentally kill them.

"Sister, let's go! What are you standing there for?"

Seeing Jiang Deng still standing there in a daze, Jiang Zhiling hurried forward, grabbed Jiang Deng's arm and walked away.

"Uh... your sister, I feel like I need some quiet time."

Looking at Chi Lian, who was arrogant and domineering in the distance, with an earth-shattering look, Jiang Deng felt numb.

She actually spent a hundred high-grade spirit stones to hire a Venerable-level boss to work for her?

I don’t know, is it lucky or unfortunate?
