The independent cultivator on the 500th level platform was no fool. He said, "Our Yuan Power is powerful, but we haven't unified the entire secret realm yet. Furthermore, the branch halls in this area aren't strong enough to crush Qingxuan and Kuanglan Village. A head-on battle would also be very stressful for their branches, so it's best to strike at the Sword Intent Cliff."
Another independent cultivator followed up, "They chose the 700th level platform to attack, and it was a deliberate decision. There can't be many top swordsmanship talents who can reach the 700th level platform, so the 20 or so people at the 700th level will be able to create a numerical advantage."
"On the Sword Intent Cliff, everyone is an ordinary person who has lost their cultivation. The competition then comes down to individual physical fitness and numbers."
Luo Fan laughed and said, "Now that we know their Yuanli's wishful thinking, would we still go up and fall into their trap? What are we thinking? We are not stupid."
Kuang Lan looked at Chu Nan, waiting for his decision.
Chu Nan was somewhat curious and asked Kuang Lan, "I see that your men are very strong. Besides you, how many people can climb the 700 steps?"
"Three." Kuang Lan did not hide anything and answered truthfully.
"It seems that Yuanli has quite a few sword geniuses under his command." Chu Nan was now at the edge of the 500th step. Looking down, he saw that all the disciples of Qingxuan were climbing the ladder, including Cheng Chen.
Chu Nan remembered that his sister was with Cheng Chen, so he looked down at the Jianyi Cliff and saw that his sister was mixed in with the bandits of Kuanglan Village, so he felt relieved.
"Master, do you need me to call up the three sword masters in the village?" Kuang Lan asked.
"No need." Chu Nan tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Let's climb the ladder to meet the masters of the Yuanli branch hall."
Chu Nan, Kuang Lan and Luo Fan climbed up the stairs. The two wandering cultivators looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go up and see what was going on.
On the 700-level platform, Yang Jie and Qian Zhi looked at the 500-level platform with unhappy expressions.
Yang Jie's eyes were grim. "When we passed by the 500-level platform, those independent cultivators saw us. It seems they sold this information to Chu Nan. Now that they know we are ambushing here, they will definitely not come up again."
Qian Zhi's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Damn those casual cultivators! They even want to recruit them into Yuanli to work for me. Humph, if they really ruin our plans, they won't survive today."
"Hey, they are really fearless." Yang Jie licked his pale lips with his scarlet tongue, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't say it, this guy named Chu Nan is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He dares to come here even though he knows we are lying in ambush here." Qian Zhi was completely relieved. As long as Chu Nan and the others dared to come to the level 700 platform, they would definitely never come back.
His only worry now was that Chu Nan did not have the talent for swordsmanship as rumored.
If he was oppressed by the sword intent and could no longer climb the ladder below level 700, wouldn't the whole plan be ruined?
So Qian Zhi kept watching Chu Nan, watching Chu Nan climb up step by step.
As Chu Nan and the other two climbed higher and higher on the ladder, Yang Jie became more and more excited.
Because the higher their ladder is, the higher their talent is. For Yang Jie, the stronger they will be after swallowing.
It didn't take long before Chu Nan, Kuang Lan, Luo Fan and two independent cultivators reached the level 700 platform.
To be honest, when Luo Fan saw more than 20 people waiting here, he was shocked at first and quietly took two steps towards Kuang Lan.
"Do you know who we are?" Qian Zhi looked at Chu Nan with interest.
"Someone with Yuanli?"
Qian Zhiyi bowed and said, "I am Qian Zhi, the head of the Yuanli branch hall."
Chu Nan also bowed slightly, "Qing Xuan, Chu Nan."
"You personally wiped out my Yuanli's people in Suiyi City?"
Chu Nan nodded.
"Aren't you afraid of my Yuanli's revenge?" Qian Zhi's voice lowered. "Or do you not take our Yuanli seriously?"
"Your Yuanli is very strong?" Chu Nan said calmly, "But you are right. In my eyes, Qingxuan, your Yuanli is nothing."
The two wandering cultivators had been hiding aside for a long time. After hearing Chu Nan's words, they secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Qian Zhi was furious. In this secret realm, who would dare to underestimate Yuanli?
Yang Jie's gloomy eyes had been sizing up Chu Nan. He chuckled at this moment, "In the big world, Yuanli is naturally not in Qingxuan's eyes, but don't forget, this is a secret realm. The peak of foundation building is the highest realm. Who can resist Yuanli?"
"Who are you?" To be honest, ever since he saw Yang Jie, Kuang Lan felt uncomfortable all over. It was an instinctive feeling, and he couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Me?" Yang Jie said proudly, "Xuantian Sword Region, Yangjian Sect, Yang Jie."
Kuang Lan had never heard of Xuantian Sword Domain.
Damn, someone from the Yangjian Sect. In the original novel, Ye Chen killed a genius from the Yangjian Sect in the secret realm. His name seemed to be Yang Yu.
Just because Ye Chen wiped out Yang Yu, the Lingjian Sect and the Yangjian Sect of the Xuantian Sword Domain became enemies, paving the way for Ye Chen to leave the Five Sects Domain.
Shit, could this guy be Yang Yu? The butterfly wings blew him in front of me. Doesn’t that mean I have to face the hatred of the Yang Jian Sect in the future?
Chu Nan asked tentatively, "Your name isn't Yang Yu, is it?"
Yang Jie was startled and very surprised, "You know my senior brother?"
Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's not the case, but it's very likely that you will never see your senior brother again."
Because there is a high probability that your senior brother will be wiped out by Ye Chen.
Yang Jie misunderstood, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "You mean, I'm going to die here today? You are too confident."
Qian Zhi also laughed out loud twice, pointing at the twenty or so Yuanli people, and said contemptuously, "Can't you see the situation clearly?"
Luo Fan jumped out and said, "You guys can't see the situation clearly. You can't mobilize your spiritual power in the Sword Intent Cliff. Kuang Lan alone can beat more than 20 of you, right?"
As he said this, he looked at Kuang Lan, waiting for his confirmation.
"Yes!" Kuang Lan gritted his teeth and stared at Luo Fan.
I am strong, but I am not a physical cultivator. Moreover, the other party is at the peak of the foundation building stage and his physical fitness is not bad either. How can I beat more than twenty of them? At most, I can only beat nineteen.
Luo Fan, could you please stop bragging?
Qian Zhi looked up and down at Kuang Lan, who was slightly taller than Chu Nanluo Fan, and said, "I have never underestimated the leader of Kuang Lan Village. I know that the leader of Kuang Lan Village is physically powerful, but Yang Jie is even stronger. He is more than enough to deal with the leader of Kuang Lan Village."
Chu Nan and the other two looked at the skinny and cold Yang Jie in surprise. They obviously did not believe that Yang Jie's strength could compare to Kuang Lan.
But as the head of the Yuanli branch, Qian Zhi cannot act without a target. In other words, Yang Jie can at least slow down the tide.
Then the other twenty or so people can deal with Chu Nan and Luo Fan without any risk.
"There's no point in talking any more, just get started." Qian Zhi ordered coldly.
"Wait a minute, where is my junior brother?" Chu Nan raised his hand to stop him.
Now that I have the advantage, Qian Zhi is not in a hurry. He sneers and says, "You don't think your fellow apprentices can, can, reach the 700th level, do you?"
Qian Zhi's eyes widened and his voice became smaller and smaller, because all twenty or so Qingxuan disciples had reached the 700th level platform.
