All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

As soon as Su Bei finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present varied, all wearing looks of bewilderment.

Immediately after, a wave of discussions surged through the crowd. Their gazes towards Su Bei were filled with amazement, disdain, and mockery, and quite a few were there just waiting for a good laugh.

Lin Duo, upon hearing Su Bei's words, turned ashen in an instant. His eyes narrowed at the man before him, a sneer crossed his lips, and he spoke in a low voice, "Is Elder Su referring to Lin Mo?"

He had not expected that this man, only in the Early Stage of Refining Void, would dare to openly call him trash in front of everyone?

Taking a deep breath and trying his best to appear calm, he then said, "Since Elder Su claims that deciphering this mystic stone poses no difficulty, why not demonstrate for all here? Let everyone witness it..."

He paused, looked around at the crowd, and added, "I'm just afraid Elder Su isn't even qualified to approach this mystic stone..."

Once Lin Duo's words fell, the people from Wuhua Palace burst into unrestrained laughter, their eyes brazenly fixed on Su Bei, who stood before Lin Duo with a composed, indifferent expression.

"Please, Elder Su, decipher the mystic stone!"

It was unclear who in the crowd suddenly shouted this, but the next moment, a deluge of voices came from all directions, "Please, Elder Su, decipher the stone!"

"Please, Elder Su, decipher the stone!"

"..."

Yet, most of these voices carried a hint of derisive laughter.

Master Fa Jiang watched Su Bei curiously before the mystic stone, his large earlobes nearly touching his shoulders. He then gently shook his head and sighed, bringing his palms together. "False words! A great taboo in cultivation!"

"Amitabha!"

All eyes turned to the man in the white, begonia-embroidered robe, who seemed indifferent to everything around him.

Some cultivators gently shook their heads and sighed, "Wuhua Palace really intends to make it difficult for the Sword Sect to save face."

"What a pity for Elder Su. He might lose all face today..."

Compared to the conflict between Su Bei and Lin Duo, this clearly involved a grudge between Wuhua Palace and the Sword Sect.

To put it another way, even if it were Xi Qingyi or Mo Xingjian standing there today instead of Su Bei, Lin Duo would probably behave the same way.

In the distance, Tong Xiu, who had already moved away, looked indifferently at the mystic stone. He sat cross-legged in a corner, not even lifting his head to glance at the dispute between the two.

His two unruly disciples stared coldly at the people of Wuhua Palace. They watched Su Bei, who stood among the crowd, still with his hands behind his back and a gentle smile on his lips. Their own lips were tightly pursed, their hands clenched.

"Elder Su, it's better not to try to be a hero. Retreat..."

Finally, a man from Tianji Sect with sharp eyes, seemingly unable to bear the scene any longer, spoke up.

While speaking, he casually performed a divination with his right hand. His expression grew increasingly peculiar, and the words he was about to utter were swallowed back as he murmured to himself, "Strange... why is it so chaotic?"

He looked intently at Su Bei.

In everyone's sight, Su Bei, dressed in a white, begonia-embroidered robe that trailed on the floor, finally began to take slow steps forward.

He fully activated his Selfless Realm to resist the strange fluctuations of Spiritual Energy around the mystic stone, approached it, and then casually sat down in front of it.

In an instant, a series of astonished voices emanated from the crowd:

"Isn't Elder Su in the Early Stage of Refining Void? How can he get so close to that mystic stone?"

"HISS— what does this mean?"

"It is said that Elder Su was able to defeat Elder Luo, who is in the Mid Stage of Refining Void, even when he was only Half-Step to Reverie. It makes one think..."

Lin Duo's eyes narrowed slightly. Noticing the crowd's attention drifting towards him, the corners of his mouth twitched with discomfort, feeling somewhat humiliated.

Yet, a strange feeling also began to rise in my heart. Earlier this morning, I sensed that Ling Ran's imposing pressure seemed to have no effect on this Su Bei. At the time, I simply assumed Wenren Pingxin had intervened to block it for him. Now, it seems this Su Bei himself is quite peculiar! But even if he can approach this mystic stone, so what?

Seemingly trying to save face, Lin Duo said in a voice neither loud nor soft, "Lin Mo is not a petty person."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of spirit swords from his storage ring and continued solemnly, "This pair of Spirit Swords was acquired by Lin Mo in Kuchan Mountain. If Elder Su can indeed decipher the mystic stone, today's matter will be forgotten. Not only will Lin Mo retract my insulting words to Elder Su, but I will also gift this pair of swords to Elder Su as an apology!"

After a pause, his tone suddenly turned cold, "But if Elder Su fails to decipher the stone... then Lin Mo fears he will have to 'discuss' today's events with Elder Su on this Ascension Platform..."

The words "discuss" were emphasized heavily!

As Lin Duo finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in consternation.

Su Bei's combat prowess was not weak; he could even fight opponents of a higher cultivation level. If Su Bei had reached Half-Step into Dao Integration, it would be genuinely uncertain who would win between them. Yet, currently, Su Bei was merely at the Early Stage of Refining Void.

At such a cultivation level, the Sword Sect would normally not even consider him for ascending the Ascension Platform!

Is Lin Duo trying to use this as an excuse to forcibly push Elder Su onto the Ascension Platform?

As for Lin Duo's promise to give the swords to Su Bei, everyone dismissed it as nonsense. The stone had been present at six opening ceremonies. If it could have been deciphered, it would have been done long ago – it was impossible for it to be Su Bei's turn!

The situation was growing increasingly bizarre.

Su Bei ignored Lin Duo's muttering. The Spiritual Energy around his body was released instantaneously, followed by strands of the Energy of Great Dao rising from his Dantian.

The Qingping Sword was unsheathed in an instant. CLANG—

A purple aura came from the east.

The purple aura surged like a great river flowing from the sky.

Immediately after, a cyan-purple lotus bloomed and spread from Su Bei's body. One point of light birthed a lotus, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with an endless expanse of cyan lotuses!

That Treasure of Sword Sect instantly appeared in the sky above, the sword humming as it circled the mystic stone.

Cyan and purple light shot into the sky, scattering the sea of clouds!

BOOM!

A stir instantly went through the crowd; everyone stared at the legendary Treasure of Sword Sect.

"The Qingping Sword! It's really the Qingping Sword!"

"Why do I sense a trace of Great Dao Qi in Elder Su's Spiritual Energy? Could it be that Elder Su's constitution actually possesses Great Dao Qi? A Great Dao Body?"

"It shouldn't be a Great Dao Body. Elder Su simply possesses Great Dao Qi. It's probably a naturally endowed sacred aura!"

"..."

Not far away, Tong Xiu's eyes snapped open. He witnessed the spectacle before him, the millions of flourishing cyan lotuses blooming around Su Bei, then shook his head and said, "His potential is decent. What a pity, his strength is too weak."

He then closed his eyes and spoke no more.

For me, the only thing that matters about this opening ceremony is the Ascension Platform. My only mission is to bring the title of the Number One Sect in the world back to our Sect.

The willows were freshly green, and the moonlight, along with a gentle breeze, lifted half the curtain. A soft breeze wafted leisurely, causing the drapery to sway and the branches to rustle, stirring the air like catkins taking flight.

Up on the pavilion, Key Smoke Yao watched this man, who was only in the Early Stage of Refining Void, with interest. She bit into a piece of candied fruit in her hand and said with a contented face, "This young fellow isn't bad, actually comprehending the Sword Sect's Sword Scripture to this level. Sword Qi giving birth to lotuses, eh?"

"And he can use the Qingping Sword? I haven't seen that sword for some years..."

"..."

I've seen many heaven-gifted prodigies, but this is the first time I've seen someone comprehend the Sword Sect's Sword Scripture to this level.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. Her red lips, nibbling the candied fruit, paused as she murmured, "Why do I sense the Selfless Realm? No wonder he was able to draw the Qingping Sword."

Ji Nanjue's eyes were fixed on the man, who appeared as serene and gentle as melting spring snow, just as he had when she first met him.

Back then, he had traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, yet even upon seeing her, he showed no excessive surprise. It was as if, in his heart, he was indifferent to all fortune and misfortune.

This man, surrounded by a crowd of women, truly gives me an indescribably strange feeling.

After a long moment of contemplation, the light in the depths of her eyes slowly receded.

Suddenly, she asked a question that even she found hard to believe, "Master, do you think this man can decipher the mystic stone?"

Key Smoke Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at her strangely. Stretching out a slender, jade-like hand, she touched Ji Nanjue's forehead. Feeling the still cool skin, she said with some surprise, "You're not sick, are you? Why would you ask such a question?"

This man is a bit strange, but that doesn't mean he can decipher a mystic stone that even I couldn't, right? Unless his cultivation reached that legendary realm above the Zone of Perception! He already has the Selfless Realm, so how could he possibly possess two realms at the same time? Would he still be human?

Looking at her disciple's suddenly strange behavior, Key Smoke Yao's right eyelid twitched violently. She gazed thoughtfully at the man who remained seated calmly.

When are women most peculiar? Or rather, is it when they develop an unconditional trust in someone, or start talking nonsense... No way!

Ji Nanjue pushed Key Smoke Yao's hand away and laughed casually, though her eyes continued to study the figure in white.

Indeed, I can't help but care more and more whether this man can decipher the mystic stone.

Su Bei slowly extended the Spiritual Energy within his body towards the mystic stone, and in an instant, he was repelled by a powerful force.

For some reason, Su Bei sensed a faint, almost imperceptible familiarity from the Spiritual Energy inside the mystic stone.

Misty clouds of cyan lotuses suddenly condensed around Su Bei. Under the influence of the Microcosmic Realm, a strange light suddenly shone in Su Bei's eyes!

The entire world became instantly clear. He could feel the operational patterns of all the surrounding Spiritual Energy; he could even perceive the circulation pathways of Spiritual Energy within the bodies of the people nearby!

It's as if... what is it, a Sharingan? Could I evolve something like a Susanoo in the future?

Under this tremendous power of insight, the Spiritual Energy around Su Bei instantly surged towards the weakest point of the mystic stone.

Immediately following this, he felt a tremor originating from the depths of his soul!

Su Bei was certain he had never encountered this type of Spiritual Energy before, yet he felt deep within his soul that this was not his first time seeing it...

A feeling of desolation, of tyranny, of deathly stillness!
