The Intimidating Power of the Peach Blossom Sword Maniac!

As Ji Wushuang's laughter rang out, the expressions of everyone around Heaven Piercing Golden Peak varied greatly!

Li Yinglian, Ji Yaoyue, Shen Qingqing, Copper Hammer Elder, and the rest... were all overjoyed, beaming from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, the people of the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools all wore exceedingly grim expressions!

It was over!

How could they compete now?

Ji Wushuang, this newly appointed Saint Son, had actually obtained such Immortal Source Fortune... Mu Yun Sanxian would surely choose him as his inheritor!

If that happened... what fucking chance would the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools have left!

A female disciple from the Red Leaf Sect complained indignantly in a low voice, "It's all that worthless Chen Xuan's fault! If he had even a shred of backbone and refused to hand over the Panlong Treasure Ring, things wouldn't have come to this, would they?"

The people beside her all nodded in agreement.

Still, some disciples said that everyone had their own aspirations, and Chen Xuan had done it out of sheer necessity.

Three Flames Elder of the Crimson Fire Dao Sect shook his head and sighed. "Ah! It seems the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token will also..."

Everyone froze.

Then, they all understood.

The current Chen Xuan was like a hedgehog stripped of every last spine.

The Vast Sword Sect swallowing him so completely that not even bone dregs remained was already a foregone conclusion!

The only thing they could strive for was to see whether they could obtain the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token.

"Set the feast! Today, none of you shall leave until you're drunk! Hahaha..."

Li Yinglian laughed heartily, in exceptionally high spirits.

Once the banquet was laid out, everyone took their seats and began eating, drinking, and chatting merrily...

Du Meng suddenly called out, "Everyone, rounding off the three thousand, a total of one million High-Grade Spirit Stones were consumed from within the Panlong Treasure Ring this time! Everyone here is a witness! Since the matter of assisting Saint Son Ji has concluded, it is time for me to return to Xuan Hall..."

After saying this, he did not even stay for the feast, but strode away quickly.

"Heh heh!"

Ji Yaoyue gave two disdainful chuckles, her beautiful eyes filled with absolute pride and confidence!

She had not taken Chen Xuan's condition of borrowing one and repaying ten to heart at all!

After the Apprentice Ceremony, the treasure ring, along with the Haotian Sword inside it and everything else... would all belong to her!

Right!

The Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token was also an absolute treasure. She had to get it from that wicked disciple as soon as possible!

"So, this was the Sword Heart Realm?"

Chen Xuan had his eyes closed as he carefully savored this wondrous, profound, extraordinary realm of the Dao of Sword, astonished beyond measure!

Sword techniques, sword qi, Sword Intent, Sword Force, Sword Domain, Sword Heart, Sword God!

These were the realms of the Dao of Sword pursued by countless sword cultivators.

And the realm of Sword Heart had already come close to touching the realm of Sword Dao Reaching Divinity!

Whoosh!

The instant Chen Xuan opened his eyes, countless phantom sword lights flashed through his pupils, while a faint sword shadow appeared between his brows...

All of it quickly vanished again.

"Hm?"

Chen Xuan suddenly felt his neck grow scorching hot!

He hurriedly pulled out the black iron token he wore and examined it...

Chen Xuan had been abandoned by his parents in the Mass Grave as a child. He had been saved by a Scavenger Elder, who raised him as his own grandson.

Sadly, his grandfather passed away when Chen Xuan was eight years old... Not long afterward, Ji Yaoyue, who had been out training, encountered him and brought him back to Jade Maiden Peak as her disciple.

The black iron token's temperature swiftly dropped, returning to normal.

However!

Some strange patterns had appeared on its surface.

"Husband, let me take a look at that iron token of yours! It seems to be..."

Bai Bingyan hesitated, as though she had some misgivings.

After examining it for a while, she said that she did not know what it was either.

Chen Xuan was deeply disappointed!

Yet he failed to notice the indescribable shock that flashed through Bai Bingyan's eyes!

Then, Bai Bingyan changed the subject. "Your dantian is about to heal. Once it does, you can cultivate again, and the power of your Sword Heart will truly reveal itself! My own understanding of the Dao of Sword is only at the level of Sword Domain..."

"I'm your husband, so naturally I have to be a little stronger than you. Otherwise, how could I conquer you?" Chen Xuan said with a lewd grin.

Bai Bingyan unexpectedly did not get angry. Instead, she shot him a glare and snorted softly. "We sleep together every night, yet I'm clearly the one on top of you, conquering you, aren't I?"

"Uh..."

Chen Xuan's lips twitched, and his old face reddened!

Just then, Du Meng's shout came from outside.

Inside Xuan Hall.

Du Meng got straight to the point. "Xuan Ge, the way you hid the Panlong Treasure Ring has been exposed. We must now consider how to properly secure it! There are quite a few people eyeing that treasure ring and the Haotian Sword..."

"No matter! The people of the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools are more worried than you are! There is less than a month until the Apprentice Ceremony. This timing is very special, and the Azure Blood Loyal Heart Token is far too special..."

Chen Xuan replied with a smile, looking as though he held every winning card in his hand.

Sure enough!

Not long afterward, more than a dozen disciples from the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools arrived, along with two Nascent Soul elders.

These people declared with righteous solemnity that they had come specifically to protect Chen Xuan's safety.

"In that case, many thanks to you all!"

Chen Xuan replied with a smile, openly placing the treasure ring on his index finger.

"Hm?"

Everyone looked at one another, all greatly surprised!

More than an hour after the feast at Heaven Piercing Golden Peak began, an incomparably beautiful figure drew everyone's attention!

Liu Ruyan!

Her face was pale, and her cold, shattered fragility made people ache with pity for her!

"Ru Yan, congratulations to Saint Son Ji!"

Liu Ruyan gave a shallow bow, so beautiful that it left people entranced and heartsick!

"Everyone! This Saint Son has something to say! In truth... the night Senior Sister Ru Yan was deceived by my eldest senior brother and had her innocence taken by him, I witnessed it with my own eyes!"

"At the time, I had intended to comfort Eldest Senior Brother, who had become a cripple. I never expected... ah! This matter has been bottled up in my heart, and if I do not speak it, I cannot find peace!"

Every word Ji Wushuang spoke rang with force, and he looked righteousness incarnate!

The scene erupted into uproar!

No one had expected Ji Wushuang to clear Liu Ruyan's name.

After sobbing for a long while, Liu Ruyan suddenly said, "Now that this body has been defiled by that beast Chen Xuan... Ru Yan finds it filthy! Therefore, I boldly beg the sect to permit me to leap into the Dust Washing Pool, destroy this body myself, and gather my soul anew for rebirth!"

Boom!

The moment these words were spoken, an uproar instantly broke out!

How much determination and grievance would it take to do such a thing?

One had to know that leaping into the Dust Washing Pool was extremely dangerous!

And gathering a new body to be reborn... had an even more minuscule chance of success!

Azure Glow Elder stepped forward from the crowd and sighed mournfully. "Ru Yan, why must you suffer like this? Ah! It is all because your master is useless, too insignificant to help you with anything..."

"Ru Yan is not afraid!"

Liu Ruyan answered without hesitation, her beautiful eyes full of resolve!

At that moment, Ji Wushuang suddenly spoke. "Senior Sister Ru Yan, if you dare to jump into the Dust Washing Pool, then your junior brother has a method ten times better!"

"The Peach Blossom Sword Maniac, Situ Wuya, owes me a great favor. The Three Lights Divine Water in his Gleaming Seven Treasures Pool can help one condense an even more extraordinary body and be reborn! I will send word and invite him here..."

"What?"

Upon hearing the four words Peach Blossom Sword Maniac, quite a few people instinctively covered their butts... their hearts trembling!

One had to know that aside from being obsessed with swords, Situ Wuya, who was both righteous and wicked, had another greatest hobby: he enjoyed both men and women...

When facing a man he fancied, Situ Wuya would transform into a male-bodied beauty and play a game of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud.

When facing a woman he fancied, Situ Wuya would transform into a female-bodied handsome man, grind some tofu, drink a little soy milk, and replenish his strength.
