All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Above the firmament, the two massive Domain Flying Boats came to a halt, facing each other from afar. Su Bei moved closer to the front, observing the scene unfolding before him.

Wenren Pingxin reclined leisurely in her chair, her posture graceful. She squinted at the man before her and chuckled, though her smile didn't quite reach her eyes, "Ah, Elder Ling Ran, it has been a while! However, I'm curious as to why you'd stop the Sword Sect's flying boat?"

The man named Ling Ran chuckled. His gaze swept over the crowd. When it landed on the sword slung across Su Bei's waist, his eyes visibly lit up. Then, lifting his head to look at Su Bei, he spoke, a hint of profound meaning in his smile, "This must be Elder Su, I presume. Defeating Elder Luo—you truly live up to your reputation!"

Su Bei raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. It seemed like a compliment, but why did his gaze feel so unsettlingly malicious?

He coughed lightly, stepped forward, and said indifferently, "Su Mou has seen Elder Ling!"

Ling Ran narrowed his eyes, his aura pulsing around him as he meticulously scrutinized the man before him. Is this the one who severely injured Luo Ritian?

As their gazes met, a terrifying Dao Integration aura suddenly burst forth from Ling Ran, surging towards Su Bei.

Aboard the flying boat, the Sword Sect Disciples instantly felt the spiritual energy within their bodies grow sluggish, as if mired in a swamp; their breathing became heavy.

Wenren Pingxin, who had been sitting until now, witnessed this. Her brow furrowed sharply. Is Ling Ran here to cause trouble? His cultivation realm is the same as mine. Even if we were to truly fight, I might not be able to secure a win against him. What is he planning? With this thought, Wenren Pingxin instantly stood up and snorted coldly, "Ling Ran! What do you think you're doing?"

Before her words faded, another fierce Dao Integration aura erupted from Wenren Pingxin, pushing back towards Ling Ran and shielding the Sword Sect Disciples on the flying boat. However, Ling Ran's aura was aimed directly at Su Bei, so Wenren Pingxin's counter-pressure couldn't completely negate the force. Her heart clenched; she was ready to intervene and shield Su Bei from the terrifying oppression.

If Su Bei had still been at the Half-Step to Reverie, this sudden and terrifying oppression would likely have caused his blood to surge, forcing him to stagger back instantly. But Su Bei had encountered many Dao Integration Realm experts, not to mention Tribulation-Crossing Stage cultivators.

Su Bei looked at Ling Ran calmly, instantaneously releasing his Dual Realm of Selflessness and Subtle Perception. He didn't move an inch. The terrifying pressure unique to the Dao Integration Realm dissipated like smoke upon reaching a radius of several yards around him, as if encountering an invisible barrier.

A glint flashed in Ling Ran's eyes. He quickly retracted the oppressive aura, then squinted and offered a faint smile, "Just a little test. My apologies for the offense! It seems Elder Su is not quite as the rumors stated, having defeated Elder Luo while only at Half-Step to Reverie… However, to emerge victorious at the Early Stage Refining Void certainly makes you a worthy master of the Qingping Sword!"

Previously, when Ling Ran heard that Su Bei had bested Luo Ritian while merely at Half-Step to Reverie, he had been genuinely startled. There is an insurmountable gulf between the Refining Void Realm and the Divinity Transformation Realm. The idea of someone at Half-Step to Reverie defeating Luo Ritian was something he hadn't heard of in a very long time, especially in this peaceful era—it was simply unheard of!

But now it seemed the rumors weren't true; Su Bei was clearly at the Early Stage Refining Void! Luo Ritian had only just entered the Mid Stage Refining Void. Moreover, Su Bei wielded the Sword Sect's treasure, the Qingping Sword. Thus, his victory over Luo Ritian was understandable. While Su Bei's ability to withstand his own oppressive aura was somewhat peculiar, this explanation was far more acceptable to Ling Ran than the idea of Su Bei being merely at Half-Step to Reverie.

As soon as Ling Ran's words fell, numerous gazes instantly shot towards Su Bei.

Wenren Pingxin's brow knitted fiercely. She stared in Su Bei's direction and then involuntarily gasped! Her long, crossed legs instantly uncrossed. Thinking her eyes had deceived her, she reached out with a delicate hand to rub them. After confirming what she saw, again and again, she swallowed hard. When did my Junior Brother break through to the Refining Void Realm? I clearly remember him being only at Half-Step to Reverie during Xi Qingyi's eight-hundredth birthday banquet!

Xi Qingyi's eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before her.

"Early Stage Refining Void?!"

"Since when was Elder Su at the Early Stage Refining Void?"

"I was there! Elder Su was definitely only at Half-Step to Reverie!"

BOOM.

The moment Ling Ran finished speaking, the entire flying boat instantly erupted into an uproar.

All the Sword Sect Disciples exchanged shocked glances, their eyes fixed on the quietly standing figure.

"Could it be that Elder Su advanced from Half-Step to Reverie to the Refining Void Realm in just a few days?"

"Doesn't that mean all the elders of our Sword Sect are at the Refining Void Realm or above?"

Su Bei narrowed his eyes, ignoring the disciples' discussions around him. He looked indifferently at Ling Ran, who was not far off, and then took a step forward.

Instantly, his aura surged forth, and the spiritual energy unique to the Early Stage Refining Void enveloped him. He spoke expressionlessly,
