News of Yan Tinghe's defeat spread like wildfire throughout the Inner Three Institutes.
Everyone was shocked.
"Ha, Yan Tinghe, I heard that someone lost to a student who wasn't one of the Ten Saints? Don't you think this person is a bit too disgraceful to us Ten Saints?"
Inside the library, Yan Tinghe paused slightly as she picked up a book, then coldly glanced back at the man leaning against the bookshelf beside her.
" Xiang Yuanzhou, you're quite free?"
As two of the Ten Saints, with similar battle records, she and Xiang Yuanzhou had always been rivals and had a long history of conflict.
However, Xiang Yuanzhou is slightly stronger than her and ranks ahead of her.
Therefore, she is eighth, Xiang Yuanzhou is seventh.
only...
She went to the Demon Battlefield with Wu Yu some time ago and gained a great fortuitous opportunity, which greatly increased her strength.
Now, Yan Tinghe is full of confidence that she can defeat Xiang Yuanzhou in front of her.
She did indeed lose to One Sword, but with both having 103 wins, what right did Xiang Yuanzhou have to mock her?
If he were to face One Sword now, he would probably be no match for himself.
"You're only just realizing how much free time I have?"
Xiang Yuanzhou clicked his Yan Tinghe, leaning slightly forward and speaking with a grin.
"Tell me, what was the name of the person who defeated you?"
" Yan Tinghe, you are one of our Ten Saints. Although you have disgraced our Heaven-Reaching Institute, I am willing to help you regain your honor. What do you say?"
The implication was that he could defeat those whom Yan Tinghe couldn't.
Yan Tinghe with disgust, a cold smile creeping across her face.
"Trying to mock me? Don't talk big here. Wait until you defeat him before you come spout nonsense in front of me."
Her words piqued Xiang Yuanzhou's interest.
"Oh? You have a lot of faith in him. What's his name?"
Yan Tinghe paused for a moment before slowly speaking.
" One Sword."
His name is One Sword.
She was defeated with just One Sword strike.
Of course, there's absolutely no need to tell others about this.
Since someone wants to die, she won't stop them.
Isn't Xiang Yuanzhou arrogant?
No matter how arrogant he is now, he will die a horrible death once he encounters that mysterious One Sword!
Meanwhile, the people of the Supreme Institute were also discussing the changes to the spirit tablets of the Divine Soul Tower.
Chang Ling'er excitedly chattered away beside Lin Xuan.
"Wow! Junior brother, junior brother, did you know? Yan Tinghe, one of the Ten Saints, actually lost! Heavens! And the person she lost to wasn't even one of the Ten Saints! My god, this news is absolutely explosive!"
"I really can't imagine who could possibly defeat Yan Tinghe."
"I wonder what kind of monster he is. You know, among the Ten Saints, Yan Tinghe is ranked eighth!"
Lin Xuan felt unusually embarrassed as he listened to Chang Ling'er's incessant chatter.
Hearing others praise you is indeed a good thing.
However, this praise, coming from Chang Ling'er, was a bit too much; it almost sounded like boasting.
Monsters and stuff...
Others might not know, but how could he not know? The monster Chang Ling'er was talking about—wasn't that himself?
However, Lin Xuan did not expect that his decision to enter the Divine Soul Tower on a whim would cause such a sensation.
Fortunately, he used a pseudonym; otherwise, things might be in serious trouble now.
He has never liked noise, and one Chang Ling'er is enough for him.
Beside her, Chang Ling'er went on and on about this matter.
She held her heart in her hands, her face full of adoration, expressing her admiration and longing.
Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this.
He spoke helplessly, interrupting Chang Ling'er.
"Junior Sister, the ' One Sword ' you mentioned is actually me."
The name "One Sword" eventually got out, and now it's causing quite a stir.
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, Chang Ling'er was stunned for a moment.
But soon, she burst out laughing, giggling as she covered her stomach and waved to Lin Xuan.
"Oh my, junior brother, I didn't know you had such a funny side! Hahahaha..."
"I actually hope it's you. That way, our Moon Eve Alliance won't have to worry."
Clearly, she didn't take Lin Xuan's words seriously at all, and only regarded them as a joke Lin Xuan was playing on her.
Defeating Ten Saints within the same realm is something even their alliance leader couldn't do. Junior Brother is just a newcomer; if he could achieve that, why would he even bother joining their Moon Eve Alliance?
Surely there isn't someone here that you can't let go of?
Haha, don't joke around.
Chang Ling'er shook her head and ignored the remark as a joke.
Lin Xuan simply shrugged helplessly.
have to.
I finally told the truth, but nobody believed me.
However, Lin Xuan didn't say much. He chatted with Chang Ling'er for a few minutes before heading to the Mission Hall to see what missions were available.
Today, the burden of supporting his family is exceptionally heavy.
Doing a few more tasks will allow me to rest and recuperate, and also fill Xuan Bing's stomach.
Unfortunately, the missions in the Mission Hall nowadays rarely offer particularly generous rewards; that day's mission was an exception.
Lin Xuan picked and chose, but in the end there weren't any good tasks. Most of the remaining tasks in the Task Hall were extremely tedious, and the rewards were very mediocre.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly and planned to return to his cave abode first. However, he was stopped as soon as he stepped out of the mission hall.
Jin Yunyi stared coldly at the white-robed youth who walked out of the mission hall, his eyes filled with barely contained anger.
He took a deep breath.
He was the leader of the Golden Wing Alliance, and Jin Yunchao was his younger brother.
Both brothers were quite talented. After being admitted to the Supreme Institute, he founded the Golden Wing Alliance. At that time, Yunchao felt that his Golden Wing Alliance was too oppressive, as it was full of strong people. So he created a separate Cloud Dynasty Alliance, which was affiliated with his Golden Wing Alliance and under his protection. Yunchao was free to eat, drink, and have fun with his people.
He understood all of this.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
That was, after all, his own younger brother.
Normally, although Yunchao was a bit of a spoiled brat, no one dared to do anything to his younger brother out of respect for him. However...
When Jin Yunyi thought of the scene he had witnessed a few days ago, he felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart, and his eyes were filled with shock, anger, and pain.
However, his younger brother, his own flesh and blood, was murdered while he was away!
He was furious and investigated several times, but still could not find his brother's body...
The only thing discovered was that Yunchao and Lin Xuan, a newcomer to the Moon Eve Alliance, had a past conflict.
After Lin Xuan left the academy, Yunchao followed him with his men, but then disappeared without a trace, his body never seen again.
Without a doubt, this matter is most likely related to the Eve Moon Alliance and Lin Xuan.
So, he came.
Lin Xuan looked at the other person, finding the face completely unfamiliar. He raised an eyebrow, wondering why the other person had stopped him.
Opposite him, a man dressed in golden robes, with fierce brows and a burly build, yet possessing a pair of phoenix eyes, looked at Lin Xuan with icy indifference and slowly spoke.
Jin Yunchao is my younger brother.
In a single sentence, its origin is explained directly.
He looked at Lin Xuan, a storm of pain and rage brewing in his eyes.
"My younger brother..."
"You killed him, didn't you!"
