White-Haired Maiden

Master and disciple stood at swordpoint!

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly grew more than ten times graver.

At that moment, Ji Yaoyue suddenly cried out, "Since it is a wager, mere words are no proof. We must make a Great Dao Oath!"

Then, with an aloof expression, she extended a finger and used True Essence to write a document of the wager in midair.

This was a Dao Contract that only Nascent Soul experts could perform. As long as both parties dripped their blood into it, it would merge into Heaven and Earth and be witnessed by the Great Dao.

Should either side dare violate it, they would surely suffer a terrible backlash!

Ji Yaoyue let out a cold laugh, forced out a drop of blood without hesitation, and flicked it into the rippling contract.

"Wicked disciple, it is your turn!"

Ji Yaoyue narrowed her eyes and stared at Chen Xuan, unwilling to miss even the slightest change in his expression.

She eagerly awaited the sight of Chen Xuan struggling in panic.

But!

What Ji Yaoyue had not expected was Chen Xuan throwing back his head in laughter...

"Ha ha ha..."

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Chen Xuan laughed with abandon, carefree and unrestrained. In the end, he clutched his stomach as tears streamed down his face, filled with endless bitterness!

This!

Was this the fine master he had revered for so many years?

How despicable, how hypocritical!

Seeing this, Ji Yaoyue inexplicably flew into a rage from embarrassment.

This wretch—did he truly no longer care for the bond between master and disciple?

"Wicked disciple, what are you laughing at? Could it be that you regret it?" Ji Yaoyue demanded sternly, putting on a fierce front while her heart was weak.

Chen Xuan merely sneered in contempt and replied coldly, unhurriedly.

"I laugh at how you all have eyes yet fail to recognize a True Dragon!"

"I laugh at how the Vast Sword Sect is full of hypocrites who steal fame and deceive the world!"

"I laugh at how, all these years... I truly was such a fool!"

Every word of Chen Xuan's mockery was like a blade, its edge fully exposed!

"Insolence!"

Ji Yaoyue roared in fury, her eyes icy to the bone!

Elder Qing Shui and the others were even more enraged, loudly condemning him one after another!

Even Li Yinglian's face turned incomparably ugly, as though someone had forcibly stuffed a lump of shit into his mouth.

At that moment, Chen Xuan directly sliced open his index finger with a dagger, and crimson blood immediately seeped out.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, Du Meng hurriedly roared and flashed forward to stop Chen Xuan.

With earnest sincerity, he said, "Xuan Ge, you do not have many bargaining chips left! There is no need to waste them all just to fight for a breath of pride!"

Yet Chen Xuan replied without hesitation, "A man lives for a breath of pride; a Buddha fights for a stick of incense! I will sign this wager!"

Before his words had faded, he fiercely flung his hand!

At once, a string of blood splashed onto the Dao Contract and was swiftly absorbed.

The scene fell deathly silent!

The next instant, the Dao Contract split in two, turning into two streaks of light that entered Chen Xuan and Ji Yaoyue's bodies.

"Heh heh!"

Ji Wushuang mocked him with a cold laugh, looking at Chen Xuan as if he were an idiot.

He no longer needed to pretend!

Because the wager had been made, with the Great Dao as witness!

"Chen Xuan, you were merely wronged once, yet you behaved with such insolence and abandon, even forgetting the most basic respect for your master!... This Sect Master is deeply disappointed in you!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Li Yinglian flew away in anger.

As he left amidst his furious rebuke, the others also departed Jade Maiden Peak one after another.

Dai Tao and his group laughed heartily, not even bothering to hide as they hurled taunts at Chen Xuan such as, "You are finished."

"Wicked disciple, just wait and see how you will continue to twist words and argue at the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony one month from now!"

Ji Yaoyue's every word was icy, her coldness enough to make one shiver.

Then, she leapt into the air and flew back to the Jade Maiden Great Hall.

"Ah!... Xuan Ge, why put yourself through this?"

Du Meng sighed deeply and regretfully patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder.

The members of the Vast Sword Sect all left one after another. Many could not hide their contempt... as though they were looking at a stray dog!

In their eyes, Chen Xuan was utterly foolish for falling out with Ji Yaoyue!

Such a man had once been the Vast Sword Sect's Saint Son?

He was simply the sect's disgrace!

Yet Chen Xuan remained silent throughout, only the corner of his lips curving faintly upward.

Like a blade's edge!

One month from now?

I, Chen Xuan, will make you understand what it means to look down on people with dog eyes!!!

At midnight, all was silent.

Under the moonlight, Xuan Hall seemed shrouded in a thin veil of white mist, lending it an added sense of sanctity.

Inside the secret chamber.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged, guiding the brilliant golden light emitted by the revived True Dragon Heart within him to repair his damaged dantian.

At a certain moment, the True Dragon Heart suddenly trembled, vibrating as though it sensed something.

At once!

A hazy golden glow spread across Chen Xuan's entire body, while the phantom of a wild and tyrannical Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared behind him.

"Hm?"

Chen Xuan's pupils abruptly contracted. To his horror, the temperature inside the entire secret chamber plummeted, and thick ice crystals formed over the floor and walls.

A figure appeared out of thin air.

"Shattering the Void? A Tribulation Realm mighty expert? Or someone possessing an innate Great Divine Power related to space could accomplish this..."

Chen Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air, then froze completely.

Before him stood a red-robed maiden of bewitching, soul-stealing beauty!

Her exquisite features seemed like the Creator's masterpiece: brows like distant mountains, narrow peach-blossom eyes that perfectly embodied charm without vulgarity, a delicate and elegant nose, and cherry-red lips.

She was simply so beautiful that she made one gasp for breath!

Most importantly, the red-robed maiden's flowing white hair drifted around her. Her tall figure stood at one meter eighty-five, allowing her to look directly into Chen Xuan's eyes...

Boom!

At the first moment their gazes met, Chen Xuan felt as though his soul had been struck hard, and he could not help but entertain some romantic thoughts.

Stunning! Peerless! Shocking!

Who could see such an exquisite, alluring White-Haired Maiden and not have their heart stirred?

Yet an icy chill like ten-thousand-year mystic ice radiated from her body, giving her an aloofness that kept people a thousand miles away.

"A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? The strongest True Dragon Bloodline? You are clearly human... yet this supremely rigid, supremely yang aura cannot be mistaken!"

The red-robed maiden spoke in a clear, ethereal voice, carrying a dreamlike quality.

The next second, her pair of peach-blossom eyes became boundlessly deep.

"Hiss!..."

The instant Chen Xuan's eyes met those of the red-robed maiden, he felt a terrifying sensation of plunging into a bottomless abyss.

The next moment.

She smiled faintly, her beauty unparalleled beneath Heaven!

"That is right! You are the man I have been searching for! Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Bingyan..."

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Bai Bingyan walked forward gracefully, drawing ever closer to Chen Xuan.

A tide of cold surged forth, freezing him to the core!

She was actually barefoot, her fair, tender feet exposed. Every delicate toe was crystal-clear, as though carved from beautiful jade.

"Whoosh!"

Bai Bingyan raised her jade-like arm, her right hand tracing an elegant arc as she gently lifted Chen Xuan's chin.

She gazed at him with great solemnity!

"Miss Bai, what... what do you want?"

Chen Xuan stammered, panicking inside.

From Bai Bingyan, he sensed an incomparably powerful aura of supreme yin, and he concluded that she must be a Tribulation Realm mighty expert!

One had to know that Li Yinglian, the strongest Sect Master of the Vast Sword Sect, was only at the late Spirit Transformation stage.

This woman could crush him to death with a single finger...

At his words, a faint peach-red flush appeared on Bai Bingyan's lovely face.

She spoke shyly, "I came from thousands of miles away to find you because I want to sleep with you... You are not allowed to refuse, okay?"
