These words caused an uproar among the disciples of Quanxiu.

Xu Xinrou actually suspects Ye Hua of colluding with the demon race?!

In this world, colluding with the demon race is a colossal sin! It is intolerable to everyone! If Ye Hua really colluded with the demon race to frame his fellow disciples, then the crime would be even more serious!

Ye Hua was also taken aback, not expecting Xu Xinrou to be so perceptive.

He immediately pointed at Xu Xinrou and shouted angrily, "Xu Xinrou! I addressed you as 'Senior Sister' out of respect since you joined the sect! How can you slander an innocent person like this!"

"What's wrong? Why are you so agitated? Did I hit a nerve?" Xu Xinrou said calmly.

Ye Hua's mood became uneasy at this moment.

The phantom demon of that day was a servant demon he had drawn from the system, and it now resided in his system space.

Swearing an oath before the Immortal Ancestor Stele will be tested by the Heavenly Dao. If you lie, you will only face destruction by heavenly lightning.

But if I don't go, it would prove I have a guilty conscience, and with so many people watching, rumors will definitely spread.

Ye Hua snorted coldly and said, "Ridiculous! Why should I go? Second Senior Sister, with so many people doubting your junior brother, I feel disheartened!"

Xu Xinrou coldly said, "What does it matter to me whether you feel cold or not? To be frank, Ye Hua, I knew you were no good from the first day you entered the sect. But you were so eloquent that you gained the trust of Master and Senior Sister and moved to the summit. Originally, you and I had nothing to do with each other, and I could have turned a blind eye to this. But you, you blind fool, actually set your sights on your Third Senior Brother! What? Do you really think no one on Liuli Peak trusts Junior Brother Su? Do you really think you, Ye Hua, can bully everyone in Quanxiu with just your words?"

Ye Hua's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Everyone was astonished.

No one expected that Xu Xinrou, who was usually not good with words, would actually curse Ye Hua like that.

Many people's gazes towards the two changed, with more scrutiny directed at Ye Hua.

He didn't respond for a long time, his wrist trembling. Could it be that he was really colluding with the demons behind the scenes and felt guilty?

Ye Yixuan was closest to Ye Hua, and she could clearly sense that Ye Hua's mood had become unstable.

Xu Xinrou raised her sword, pointing it at Ye Hua. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into a line as she stared intently at Ye Hua. "You don't dare to go? Fine! Do you dare to have a match with me? Aren't you hailed by Senior Sister as an unparalleled genius? I'll suppress my cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage! I'll fight you! If you lose, you'll obediently go to the Immortal Ancestor Stele and swear an oath! If you win, I'll let you go!"

Ye Hua pondered with a serious expression.

He seemed to have two choices, but in reality, both were dead ends.

If he wins and doesn't go to the Immortal Ancestor Stele, he'll be accused of being guilty. If this gets back to the elders, he'll definitely have to go.

If he loses, he can go directly to the Immortal Ancestor Stele, swear an oath before the Immortal Ancestor, and have his lies exposed by the Heavenly Dao, which will draw down heavenly lightning. He will still face certain death.

After much deliberation, he decided to accept the duel.

Anyway, let's just take it one step at a time!

He stared coldly at Xu Xinrou, as if she were a corpse.

With the Destiny System, he can easily become invincible among those of the same level!

Even if Xu Xinrou was supposed to be at the Nascent Soul stage, she would definitely not be his match.

Swords and blades have no eyes; if you accidentally injure her during a duel, you can't blame anyone else...

"Alright! Second Senior Sister, since you're so eager to fight your junior brother, then so be it!" Ye Hua pulled out a longsword from his storage ring, narrowing his eyes. "Swords have no eyes, so you can fight with all your might. Don't worry about hurting me; after all... injuries during fights are perfectly normal..."

Everyone fell silent as they watched the two men, who were on the verge of exchanging blows.

"Ye Hua, your second senior sister is a Nascent Soul cultivator! Even though she's suppressing her cultivation, her combat experience far surpasses yours, who's just a beginner..."

Ye Yixuan wanted to say something more, but Ye Hua stopped her.

"Senior Sister! No need for further words!" Ye Hua looked at Xu Xinrou and said coldly, "Since this is Second Senior Sister's wish, then we shall do as Second Senior Sister wishes!"

Xu Xinrou also drew her sword.

The atmosphere of battle spread instantly.

Just as the battle between the two was about to break out, Su Nian stepped onto the arena.

He appeared beside Xu Xinrou without her noticing, grabbed her hand, and pressed the sword down from her grasp.

“Junior Brother Su? You…” When Xu Xinrou saw Su Nian, her cold eyes immediately softened with tenderness and heartache.

"Stop, Senior Sister Xu," Su Nian said softly. "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you shouldn't be involved in this battle."

Although the situation seemed unfavorable to Ye Hua, Su Nian understood that the real disadvantage lay with Xu Xinrou.

Ye Hua carries the weight of the Heavenly Dao, but even he himself doesn't know that even if he goes to the Immortal Ancestor Stele, the Heavenly Dao will still side with him.

If Heaven lies, Xu Xinrou, who publicly doubted Ye Hua, will become the target of public criticism.

The result of this battle was that Xu Xinrou won.

However, she managed to raise her cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm at the brink of death, catching Ye Hua off guard and thus securing a lucky victory.

In the previous cycle, Xu Xinrou not only earned a reputation for bullying the weak in this battle, but was also sent to the Hall of Law Enforcement for framing her fellow disciples.

Su Nian didn't want Xu Xinrou to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Xu Xinrou only stepped forward because of him.

He will personally lead this battle! He will teach Ye Hua a lesson he won't forget!

Su Nian's appearance caused a stir among the audience.

The events that have occurred at Liuli Peak over the past month are known not only in Quanxiu, but throughout the entire Maoding City!

Everyone knew that Su Nian had given up cultivating immortality, and everyone had witnessed his recuperation over the past month. They thought that Su Nian would never recover, but when they saw him stand on the arena again, all the female disciples were extremely excited!

Because this could very well mean that Senior Brother Su, who is known as the number one genius in the entire show, is back!

Seeing the strong reaction from the onlookers, Ye Hua was extremely dissatisfied.

This should have been his backyard!

But now all the female disciples are watching Su Nian, all the female disciples are siding with him!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Su Nian, but he quickly concealed it.

"Senior Brother Su," Ye Hua said with an unfriendly expression, "didn't you already plan to retire to the countryside? Why are you stepping onto the arena today?"

Su Nian smiled. "Do you want me not to come up?"

Ye Hua said coldly, "As your junior brother, I am naturally happy that you can recover. However, since Senior Sister Xu framed me in front of so many people, this battle should naturally be a duel between me and Senior Sister Xu."

“Your Senior Sister Xu stood up for me and just went through a great battle. She needs to rest now. Your challenge to her is equivalent to challenging me. Do you want to take advantage of Senior Sister Xu’s fatigue?” Su Nian said with a faint smile.

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes. "Senior brother, your Nascent Soul is ruined and your foundation is damaged. I'm doing this for your own good. As for me, I currently have no rivals below the Golden Core stage."

"What a coincidence." Su Nian chuckled. "Your senior brother here was once invincible among his peers, cultivating all the way to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Now that my cultivation has declined, I'd like to test whether I still have the same bravery I had back then."
