Sword Judge

Sword Fence Layer.

The white-clad figure vanished, along with the Sword Intent, and the blood mist and torn body disappeared as well.

The sky cleared up, leaving only white clouds hanging in the air, drifting slowly.

Standing atop the Heaven Tier?

Is this broken sword even higher in level than Heaven Rank Ancient Sword? I really just picked one that was handy! Xiao Ran felt like he had been suddenly elevated too high, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

It's too late to hide the sword; any further attempts to cover it up will only make things worse, and everyone will understand...

In the instant that Xiao Ran hesitated.

The image of him holding two Broken Sword was etched into the minds of everyone around Sword Mound Mountain.

The Profound-tier.

Chuyan was stunned.

Her petite body stood stiffly in the sea of flowers, as lonely as a child who had abandoned her family.

Just like when she ran away from home and abandoned her family back then.

Her eyes reddened, and she suddenly felt a pang of self-reproach.

Since the elders have increased the difficulty of the three trials, it means they are tacitly agreeing that the two can cooperate to Sword Succession.

Although Xiao Ran's Cultivation Level was low, his physique was unique. If she hadn't been timid and wasted time, and hadn't gotten separated from Xiao Ran in the end, and if the two had cooperated as well as they had in the rock passage and the cave, he wouldn't have ended up with a Broken Sword.

However, why are there two Broken Swords from the same blade in the Sword Fence Layer? Did Xiao Ran find a treasure?

She resisted the urge to jump down and take a look, wiped her slightly reddened eyes, and quietly walked deeper into the sea of flowers...

The Sword Inheritance Assembly is not over yet.

It needs to be kept secret!

Halfway up the mountainside.

Lingzhou Yue held the pot in mid-air with her left hand, supported her knee with her right hand, her palm resting on her cheek, her head tilted to the side, her elegant and clear face squeezed into a bun shape by her palm.

"What's going on? I think I just saw the Heaven Tier to the top of the mountain open, but this guy didn't take a single step. He just found two broken Broken Sword and is playing a game of piecing them back together?"

True Person Yinyue frowned slightly.

She didn't have Lingzhou Yue's keen intuition and didn't see any signs that the Heaven Tier Path had been opened.

"Could it be that he failed to Sword Succession? After all, he got separated from Chuyan and didn't even have time to use the Blood Burst Pill or your Blood Jade. Or perhaps it was seeing the two broken blades of the same sword that delayed his Sword Succession?"

True Person Yinyue was unaware of Xiao Ran's swordsmanship level, he was bound to have different opinions.

Lingzhou Yue was very clear about Xiao Ran's strength. Her expectation for Xiao Ran was that he would reach the Heaven Tier, or at the very least, the Profound-tier.

Why did it stop at the Sword Fence Layer?

For a brief moment, she vaguely sensed some abnormal distribution caused by turbulent soul energy flows above the Sword Fence Layer...

Was this kid forced to stop because of danger, or did he have another extraordinary encounter?

Why does strange thing follow him wherever he goes? Nothing ever goes smoothly for this guy! "Broken Sword will do, I guess."

She said this.

True Person Yinyue gazed at her intently, as if he could detect a hint of loneliness and resentment in her words.

Not far away.

True Person Moxia stood up abruptly from the Flying Stone, his body agile and he looked even more energetic than a young man.

His white eyebrows furrowed, his old eyes were deep, and he was suddenly shocked, followed by a mix of emotions.

Only those who are proficient in advanced sword-making techniques can understand how difficult it is to leave a Broken Sword in the Sword Fence Layer.

Moreover, it evaded everyone's sight; countless elders and Sword Succession remained undetected for millennia! But Xiao Ran discovered it...

Only he could understand how difficult it was to discover such Broken Sword.

Only he could be certain that the person who discovered this sword must have the strength to ascend to the Heaven Tier!

He had intended to go down and take a look, but after thinking about it, he realized he couldn't make a fuss, so he slowly sat back down on the Flying Stone, trying his best to keep his face calm to avoid giving anyone cause for gossip.

But words, though unintentional, have already been spoken.

The inner disciples, instructors, Subsidiary Sect leaders, elders, and National Teacher from various countries had already arrived at the mountainside to observe more closely.

Basically, anyone with Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level can see the current state of the Sword Fence Layer.

No one cared about Chuyan reaching the Profound-tier. Although it was somewhat unexpected, her genius was known to everyone.

All eyes were on Xiao Ran.

"What's the matter with Senior Brother Xiao staying in the Sword Fence Layer?"

"Could it be that he failed to Sword Succession and is just trying to save face by picking up two Broken Swords? Isn't he Heavenly Saint Aptitude?"

"Uncle's Cultivation Level is only at the Qi Refining stage. Even if he Heavenly Saint Aptitude, this result is to be expected."

"These things are not important. Look at the two Broken Swords in his hands. Don't they look like they came from the same blade?"

"You know what, it's actually quite possible!"

"It could be a coincidence... but he is Uncle-Master Xiao, the Broken Sword he picked up must be a treasure!"

"Is there any need to ask? It's definitely a treasure! I heard that True Person Moxia particularly values Uncle-Master Xiao. Could it be that he deliberately broke the divine sword beforehand and buried it in the Sword Fence Layer?"

"You know what, it's actually quite possible. Look at how he looted the whole mountain and killed the Magma Swallowing Beast..."

"It's definitely a shady operation, a shady operation!"

"Great! Luckily we got close enough to observe, otherwise we would have been fooled by the elders!"

While the public was indignant, some people tried to dampen their spirits.

"You can shout yourself hoarse, but it won't do any good. If you were Heavenly Saint Aptitude, you would have shady dealings going on every day."

"I saw through this kind of thing from the very first day Uncle-Master Xiao came up the mountain. Look at him, a beautiful Master, a beautiful Senior Uncle, and he even took in a beautiful disciple, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Elder Mo Xia values him highly, and even the usually strict Disciplinary Elder is silent. You can't argue with a talented person like him."

One of the disciples whispered, "I refuse to accept this!"

"You're not convinced now, but when Disciple Challenge, my master hadn't even Qi Refining yet. Why don't you dare go up on stage and try?"

"Instead of being resentful, envious, or jealous, why not think about it from a different perspective? With a talent like our Martial Uncle, Zongzhi Mountain's status will definitely rise within the next hundred years. This will greatly benefit the sect's stability and abundant resources. What is there for you all to complain about?"

"Think about it carefully, everyone. The reason why the elder resorted to underhanded tactics was firstly to save face for us ordinary disciples, and secondly to avoid making a fuss and protect our junior master, this promising talent. If the Dao Alliance Headquarters found out, wouldn't they send Mahayana cultivator to poach him?"

No one could refute it.

Everyone understands the reasoning, but they're just incredibly envious.

In this Dharma Ending Era, everyone is exhausted. You suddenly take off and are showered with love and affection. Who wouldn't be moved? Upon hearing the disciple's words, True Person Moxia almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

When have I ever engaged in any underhanded dealings?

They analyzed it so logically, it was as if it were the truth.

However, the logic is not wrong...

Xiao Ran, this god-level seedling, must be protected! High in the western sky, Luo Sheng, with his taut belly and slightly narrowed eyes, had a plan in mind, but unfortunately, it wasn't his turn to speak.

"Father, what should we do?"

Huangfu Qun frowned deeply, his face grim, his sculpted features seeming to cut through the mountain wind, emitting a terrifying sound.

"Immediately end the Sword Inheritance Assembly and block all news of it!"

"But Jiang Chuyan hasn't chosen a suitable sword yet."

Do I have to say it twice?

"Yes, Father."

Immortal Boat.

Heishi sighed that the opportunity was too good to miss and hurriedly ran into the cabin to find Li Wuxie.

Pushing open the door, I saw that there was no one in front of the long table.

Only the open Black Sand Teapot remained, slowly emitting steam.

Sword Fence Layer.

Huangfu Qun arrived at the Sword Fence Layer immediately.

But they discovered that Li Wuxie had already taken the lead and was standing solemnly on the high slope in front of Xiao Ran.

Li Wuxie remained silent, looking around at the Sword Thorns Forest, feeling that something was amiss.

Huangfu Qun glanced at Xiao Ran, then stopped beside Li Wuxie. With a sullen face, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Chief Li. This boy's defeat is inevitable, and he is not fit for any great task. My niece Jiang Chuyan is the future of the sect and is currently waiting for Chief Li's guidance at the Profound-tier."

Li Wuxie was still looking around, and without turning his head, he said, "I never point my sword at a woman."

Huangfu Qun then said, "Then it won't be too late to ask Chief Li for swordsmanship after this boy successfully Sword Succession sword next time."

Li Wuxie then turned around and stared directly at Xiao Ran.

"Regardless of whether the sword is successfully Sword Succession or not, the Sword Succession who wants to take the sword from the Sword Tomb must obtain the Sword Judge's consent... Draw the sword."

Xiao Ran was so engrossed in holding the Broken Sword that he didn't look up until then.

Li Wuxie stood on a high slope, his indigo cloud robe fluttering in the wind, making him appear extremely tall.

Like Huangfu Qun, he had sculpted features, but his face was not gloomy at all, and his features were quite handsome.

His short, stiff beard covered his chin, and he wore a black eight-foot-long sword at his waist, half a foot wide. He exuded a powerful and imposing aura, and his entire body radiated a strong sense of masculinity.

But when Xiao Ran looked up, all he saw were those eye-catching panda eyes that looked like stars surrounding the moon.

His dark circles were several times darker than Xiao Ran's previous ones. Coupled with droopy eyelids and heavy eye bags, he looked like he had spent the night in a brothel and couldn't get up in the morning.

He couldn't help but murmur to himself, and the words slipped out.

"Maybe we shouldn't..."
