Slaying Li Xuansu Again!
Supreme Simplicity Sect, Supreme Yin Peak.
Li Xuansu waited in vain for his disciple Xu Yan to return. Logically speaking, since he was only going to kill Ye Chen, it shouldn't have taken long, but so many days have passed and Xu Yan still hasn't come back.
She had two guesses in her mind: either Xu Yan had been arrested, or Xu Yan was dead.
In either case, she had to go. Before, she could ignore it, not believing that a martial artist from a small place could cause any trouble, and perhaps would never pose a threat to her.
But things are different now. Neither Xu Yan, the disciple at the True Qi Realm, nor Thunder Pearl have been able to return. Perhaps the other party has mastered a method that can threaten the Innate Realm, but their strength is definitely not at the Innate Realm.
She absolutely wouldn't allow him to continue growing stronger. She had to go this time; perhaps she could even save her disciple who might still be alive. A sliver of greed also stirred within her. If Ye Chen truly grew at such a rapid pace, he must have obtained a great fortuitous opportunity. If she seized this fortuitous opportunity, wouldn't it mean she also had a chance to break through to the Grandmaster Realm?
Innate Realm can live for a maximum of 200 years, but Grandmaster Realm can live for 300 years—that's an extra 100 years of lifespan!
Then.
Li Xuansu left the Supreme Simplicity Sect alone without telling anyone. What she didn't know was that Dongfang Bai had been watching her. Upon learning that she had left the Supreme Simplicity Sect, and combining this with the information that Xu Yan should have died at the hands of the senior brother, he suspected that Li Xuansu had gone to find the senior brother.
So he used another communication talisman. Anyway, he still had some communication talismans on him, and even if he used them all up, his master would replenish them, so there was no need to be reluctant to use them.
Soon, Lin Ye learned about this matter. He naturally had no interest in dealing with a mere ant at the Innate Realm Seventh Layer, so he informed Ye Chen about it.
Ye Chen has now broken through to the Third Layer of the Innate Realm, and with the entry-level Divine Ability power sword technique, the Heartless Demon Saber, Li Xuansu is really no match for him.
"Li Xuansu, that old woman!"
Ye Chen also hated Li Xuansu to the core. Despite being an elder of a righteous sect, Li Xuansu struck him with a palm while he was still in the Body Refining Realm, crippling him completely. If he hadn't met his master, he would have been truly ruined.
Perhaps in Li Xuansu's eyes, merely crippling the cultivation of a Body Refining Realm ant, rather than killing him, was already merciful. But this was a matter of life and death.
His strength was not enough to kill the Supreme Simplicity Sect, which had Great Grandmaster and Grandmaster, but Li Xuansu, Innate Realm Seventh Layer, came here in person, and he was prepared to kill Li Xuansu again.
One day later.
Li Xuansu found the Ye Household Village in the same place, where Ye Chen was already waiting for her.
Ye Chen.
When Li Xuansu saw Ye Chen, and recalled the weak Ye Chen of the past, his temperament and strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Where is my disciple Xu Yan?
Li Xuansu.
Ye Chen pointed to where Li Xuansu was standing, "Oh, right under your feet."
Li Xuansu suddenly stepped back, glanced at the ground, but saw nothing. However, she already understood Ye Chen's meaning: her disciple was dead.
"Brute."
Li Xuansu cursed angrily.
"Beast? Xu Yan came to kill me, and I couldn't resist?" Ye Chen's killing intent surged. "I hadn't offended you before, Xu Yan crippled me with just a few words. You even took this kind of scum as your disciple? Is this the kind of disciple your righteous sect Supreme Simplicity Sect, wants? Or is the entire Supreme Simplicity Sect like this?"
"Shut up."
Li Xuansu was furious to see Ye Chen cursing the entire Supreme Simplicity Sect, but she also knew that Xu Yan's character was indeed not very good, far inferior to a disciple like Dongfang Bai. However, she didn't care. Even righteous sects would compete and fight each other, so what did it matter if one or two people were killed?
She only crippled Ye Chen, that's nothing, she did nothing wrong.
"You killed my disciple, I'll kill you!"
Li Xuansu made her move; she intended to kill Ye Chen.
She immediately unleashed the Twelve Swords of Supreme Yin, using this sword Swordsmanship to kill Ye Chen. However, when Ye Chen obtained a knife, his entire aura changed, and a terrifying aura locked onto her.
"Third Layer of the Innate Realm!"
She sensed Ye Chen's cultivation level and her expression changed drastically. How could this be? Ye Chen had joined a weak sect, and she had even crippled his cultivation back then. Not only had he recovered, but his cultivation had also improved so quickly, almost comparable to Dongfang Bai.
But Dongfang Bai received the full support of the Supreme Simplicity Sect; what did Ye Chen have?
"He fortuitous opportunity have a great fortuitous opportunity."
Li Xuansu confirmed his suspicions, and his killing intent towards Ye Chen intensified.
In an instant, the two clashed and fought. Ye Chen's power was no weaker than Li Xuansu's, and was even stronger. His Innate True Qi was also sharper, completely overwhelming her.
"Clothes-Binding Ring."
Li Xuansu unleashed his Earth-grade Law Treasure in an attempt to bind Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen wasn't going to play anymore. He had already assessed Li Xuansu's strength and found her to be too weak!
He unleashed the Heartless Demon Saber, Divine Ability- level sword technique, slashing at the Clothes-Binding Ring and tearing the earth-grade Law Treasure apart. The terrifying, invisible sword light ripped through the earth and also cleaved Li Xuansu's body in two, leaving her utterly powerless to resist.
With Li Xuansu's death, Ye Chen's inner turmoil vanished, and he felt completely relaxed, even his True Qi circulation became much smoother.
Supreme Simplicity Sect.
Dongfang Bai was still cultivating. He calculated the time, "Li Xuansu should be dead by now, right?"
In reality, Li Xuansu treated him quite well and had no grudge against him, but Li Xuansu insisted on offending his senior brother, and there was nothing he could do. He didn't know how to deal with his senior brother, so he could only watch Li Xuansu die.
"What a pity!"
Dongfang Bai murmured, "At worst, I'll offer incense and pay my respects to Li Xuansu next year. That would be a way of showing her support for me."
No one knew about Li Xuansu's death except Dongfang Bai. No one else in the Supreme Simplicity Sect knew where Li Xuansu had gone. It was normal for an elder to go out for training for several months or even a year.
For a considerable period of time, Li Xuansu's death would not attract the attention of the Supreme Simplicity Sect. In the long run, the Supreme Simplicity Sect would at most put Li Xuansu on the missing persons list, but would not consider him dead. After all, he might reappear decades later as a Grandmaster, and there have been such cases.
The Yu Kingdom.
Yin Mist Mountain.
Han Bing's cultivation not only stabilized at the Grandmaster Realm, but also, after absorbing a large amount of Yin Mist Qi in recent days, his cultivation broke through again, reaching the Grandmaster Realm Second Layer.
"This is too fast. If I cultivate here for a few years, my cultivation will definitely break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm. I wonder if my cultivation will be able to surpass my master's by then?"
He felt he might not be able to surpass him. His master's strength seemed terrifying, and he wasn't very old. He must be improving every year. Moreover, his master was able to easily seize a secret realm and easily take out so many good things and inheritances. His master's own inheritance must be even more powerful, definitely beyond his reach.
With the combined breakthroughs of Han Bing, Yang Yang, Ye Chen, and others, Lin Ye's cultivation also broke through, reaching the Great Grandmaster Second Layer realm, and he was not far from the Great Grandmaster Third Layer.
"Not bad, not bad. If these disciples work harder, I can break through to the Peak Great Grandmaster, or even the Martial Saint Realm!" Lin Ye was very excited.
