After Being Expelled from the Sect, My Beautiful Master Begged Me for Forgiveness - Chapter 23:

Chapter 23: The Fearsome Prestige of the Peach Blossom Sword Maniac!:

As Ji Wushuang’s loud laughter echoed, the expressions of those around the Heaven-Piercing Golden Peak varied greatly. Li Yinglian, Ji Yaoyue, Shen Qingqing, Elder Tong Hammer, and the others were all overjoyed, their faces filled with excitement. However, the members of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates all wore extremely unsightly expressions.

It was over.

How could they even compete now?

Ji Wushuang, the newly appointed Holy Son, had obtained the Immortal Source… Immortal Mu Yun would surely choose him as his direct disciple. In that case, the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates no longer stood any chance.

A female disciple of the Red Leaf Sect cursed in a low voice, “It’s all that useless Chen Xuan’s fault! If he had even a shred of backbone and hadn’t handed over the Panlong Treasure Ring, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

Those around her nodded in agreement, but some also argued that everyone had their own path, and perhaps Chen Xuan had no choice.

Elder San Yan of the Scarlet Flame Dao Sect shook his head and sighed, “Sigh! Looks like the Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token… might also…”

Everyone was stunned and quickly understood.

Chen Xuan now resembled a hedgehog whose quills had been plucked clean. He had been completely devoured by the Grand Righteous Sword Sect, leaving not even bones behind—it was a done deal. The only thing left worth vying for… was whether they could still get their hands on the Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token.

“Feast! Today, everyone must drink until they are drunk! Hahaha…” Li Yinglian laughed heartily, in an excellent mood.

After the banquet was set, everyone took their seats and began drinking and chatting…

Du Meng suddenly shouted, “Everyone, deducting a bit of rounding error, we used a total of one million top-grade spirit stones from the Panlong Treasure Ring! Everyone here is a witness to this! Now that our assistance to Holy Son Ji is complete, I should return to the Xuan Palace…”

After speaking, he ignored the banquet and quickly left.

“Hmph!”

Ji Yaoyue scoffed disdainfully, her beautiful eyes filled with absolute pride and confidence.

She hadn’t cared at all about the loan condition of tenfold repayment that Chen Xuan had proposed. After the disciple selection conference, the treasure ring along with the Haotian Sword and everything inside would be hers! Right… the Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token was also an absolute treasure. She had to find a way to get it from that rebellious disciple as soon as possible!

…

“So this… is the Sword Heart realm?”

Chen Xuan closed his eyes, carefully savoring this profound and extraordinary sword realm, filled with shock.

Sword Technique, Sword Qi, Sword Intent, Sword Momentum, Sword Domain, Sword Heart, Sword God.

These were the sword realms countless sword cultivators pursued.

And the Sword Heart realm was already approaching the stage of mastering the sword to the divine level.

“Whoosh!”

When Chen Xuan opened his eyes, countless sword lights and phantoms flickered in his pupils, and a sword shadow vaguely appeared at his brow… all of which quickly disappeared.

“Huh?”

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a burning sensation at his neck. He quickly pulled out the black iron plate he always wore to inspect it.

Since he was a child, Chen Xuan had been abandoned at a mass grave, saved by an old scavenger who raised him as his grandson. Sadly, his grandfather passed away when he was eight… and soon after, he was found by Ji Yaoyue, who took him back to Jade Maiden Peak as her disciple.

The temperature of the black iron plate quickly cooled and returned to normal, but its surface now showed some strange patterns.

“Husband, let me take a look at that iron plate. It seems to be…”

Bai Bingyan hesitated, as if she was apprehensive about something. After examining it, she said she didn’t know what it was either.

Chen Xuan was very disappointed.

However, he didn’t notice the flicker of shock in Bai Bingyan’s eyes.

She quickly changed the subject, “Your dantian is about to heal. When it does, you can rebuild your cultivation, and the true power of the Sword Heart will show itself. My understanding of the sword path is only at the Sword Domain level…”

“I’m your husband, of course I have to be stronger than you. Otherwise, how could I conquer you?” Chen Xuan teased shamelessly.

Bai Bingyan didn’t get angry but rolled her eyes at him and snorted, “Every night when we sleep together, aren’t I always the one on top of you, conquering you?”

“Uh…”

Chen Xuan’s mouth twitched, his face flushing red.

At that moment, Du Meng’s loud voice came from outside.

Inside the Xuan Palace, Du Meng got straight to the point, “Brother Xuan, your method of hiding the Panlong Treasure Ring has been exposed. We have to consider how to properly secure it now. Many are eyeing this ring and the Haotian Sword…”

“No problem! The people of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates are more worried than you! Now that the disciple selection conference is less than a month away, the timing is very sensitive, and the Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token is too special…”

Chen Xuan replied with confidence, smiling.

Sure enough!

Before long, over a dozen disciples of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates arrived, along with two Nascent Soul Elders.

These people righteously stated that they had come specifically to protect Chen Xuan’s safety.

“In that case, I thank you all!”

Chen Xuan smiled and openly wore the Panlong Treasure Ring on his index finger.

“Hmm?”

Everyone exchanged glances, all surprised.

After the banquet at the Heaven-Piercing Golden Peak had lasted for over an hour, a stunning figure drew everyone’s attention.

Liu Ruyan.

Her face was pale, carrying a cold and broken aura that made her look pitiful and delicate.

“Liu Ruyan, congratulations to Holy Son Ji!”

Liu Ruyan gave a light bow, breathtakingly beautiful yet heartbreaking.

“Everyone! This Holy Son has something to say! Actually… I personally witnessed Senior Sister Liu Ruyan being deceived by my Senior Brother Chen Xuan, having her purity taken by him that night!”

“At that time, I went to comfort my crippled Senior Brother, but… sigh! I’ve held this in my heart for too long, and I can’t keep it in anymore!”

Ji Wushuang spoke every word firmly, righteously.

The scene was in an uproar!

No one expected Ji Wushuang to speak out for Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan wept for a long time, then suddenly said, “Now that my body has been defiled by that beast Chen Xuan… I feel disgusted! So, I boldly request the sect to allow me to jump into the Purification Pool, destroy my physical body, and reform my soul for rebirth!”

Boom!

Her words triggered another uproar!

How much determination and humiliation did it take to make such a choice?

Everyone knew how dangerous the Purification Pool was.

And the chance of successfully reforming her body and gaining a new life… was nearly zero!

Elder Qingxia stepped forward from the crowd, sighing, “Liu Ruyan, why put yourself through this? Sigh! It’s all my fault as your master for being too weak to help you…”

“I’m not afraid!”

Liu Ruyan responded firmly, her beautiful eyes full of determination.

At this moment, Ji Wushuang suddenly spoke, “Senior Sister Liu Ruyan, if you dare to jump into the Purification Pool, then I have an even better method! The Peach Blossom Sword Maniac Situ Wuya owes me a big favor, and the Three-Light Divine Water in his Glazed Seven-Treasure Pool can help you form an even more extraordinary body, granting you new life! I will summon him here…”

“What?”

Many people gasped at the mention of the Peach Blossom Sword Maniac, instinctively covering their rear ends, shuddering inside.

It was known that the unpredictable Situ Wuya, besides being a sword maniac, had the greatest hobby of all—being equally fond of both men and women…

If he encountered a man he fancied, he would transform into a beautiful male and engage in some rather disturbing games.

If he fancied a woman, he would become a stunning female and, well, grind tofu and drink soy milk to nourish the body.
