The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

With only a seventh-level Earth Realm cultivator here, how many natives could be stronger than me?
Now that he sees outsiders here, he thinks he's found a lifeline.
That's incredibly naive!
Although he said he would spare the life of the fleeing man if he handed over his belongings, the seventh-level Earth Realm cultivator who was chasing him knew...

This is a complete lie.

The seventh-level Earth Realm cultivator was named Liu Yun. Liu Yun also knew the sixth-level Earth Realm cultivator who was fleeing for his life ahead; his name was Xiao Jian.

The two were not only acquaintances, but they also came to the Northern Territory together to participate in the Mystic Palace event.

However, after entering the Misty Heaven Palace, although Xiao Jian suggested that they act together, Liu Yun felt that her strength was clearly superior to Xiao Jian's.

If we were to work together, we would have to share whatever we found with him, which wouldn't be a good deal.

They then suggested that the two of them split up.

Xiao Jian did not raise any objections and agreed.

However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Yun, who was stronger, did not have good luck in this Misty Heaven Palace and only found some meager gains.

The only truly remarkable thing was a sixth-tier spiritual herb that could be used by those at the Earth Realm.

Just then, as the Mystic Palace was about to close... Xiao Jian sent Liu Yun a piece of news that shocked him greatly.

Xiao Jian said he found a... Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit!
This news left Liu Yun stunned on the spot.

As a dignified seventh-level Earth Realm cultivator, the best I could get was a single Earth Realm spiritual herb.

Xiao Jian, a mere sixth-level cultivator, actually got incredibly lucky and obtained a Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit?!

Immediately, Liu Yun felt a sense of imbalance in her heart.

He didn't reveal himself at the beginning; after finding Xiao Jian, he first offered his congratulations.

Subsequently, the Misty Heaven Palace shattered, and the two emerged together. Taking advantage of Xiao Jian's inattention, they launched a sneak attack.

In terms of strength, he was already a level above, and on top of that, he launched a sneak attack that disregarded martial ethics.

Even though Xiao Jian reacted at the last moment and summoned a high-grade spirit-level shield, it still nearly cost him his life.

Subsequently, Xiao Jian began his great escape.

To Liu Yun's surprise, Xiao Jian's movement technique had actually reached a high level of mastery. Even with his serious injuries, it was not easy for Liu Yun to catch up with him for a while.

Fortunately, although Xiao Jian was fast, he was never able to shake off him.

In addition, as time went on, Xiao Jian's breathing became weaker and weaker.

Having fled all the way here, did Xiao Jian naively believe that encountering two random passersby would be his turning point?
Xiao Jian, who was fleeing for his life ahead, wiped the blood from his mouth, turned around, and spat out a mouthful of bloody foam.

"If I give you the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit, will you let me go?" Xiao Jian sneered, saying, "If it were before, I might have believed your nonsense, but if I believed it now, I would die with my eyes wide open! Liu Yun, you shameless old dog!!"

Upon hearing Xiao Jian's insults, a shadow crossed Liu Yun's eyes.

All of this happened in a mere instant.

In an instant, Xiao Jian had already rushed to Lu Ye and the other person's vicinity.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

In truth, Xiao Jian hadn't held out much hope.

He knew that although Liu Yun was not at the Heaven Realm level, he was indeed among the top small group of cultivators at the Earth Realm level.

After all, he was only two minor realms away from the ninth level. But when the two people opposite him actually turned their heads in this direction... Xiao Jian was stunned for a moment.

That man... why does he look so familiar?

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Xiao Jian's eyes widened abruptly: "You...you are Senior Chen Beixuan?!"

No mistake... This must be Chen Beixuan, the famous genius of the Misty Heaven Palace, currently the number one prodigy in the Northern Territory, a towering Heaven Realm expert!

poof...

Without hesitation, Xiao Jian knelt down and took out the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit: "Senior Chen, you may not know me. I was betrayed by a friend I once considered close, and now my days are numbered. This is the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit, which I obtained by chance, and it is also the reason why he betrayed me."

"If you take a liking to this, senior, then this spiritual fruit will belong to you. I have only one request... please help me kill this person!"

Xiao Jian hadn't forgotten that Liu Yun had said he would take action against his Daoist partner during the chase.

Now that he had unexpectedly encountered the renowned Chen Beixuan, Xiao Jian immediately decided to seize this glimmer of hope, took out the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit, and asked Lu Ye for help.

Liu Yun, who had arrived at the scene in an instant, was just about to smile smugly and ask him why he hadn't continued to run away.

The next second, Xiao Jian's shocked words were heard...

"...Chen Beixuan?!"

A sudden jolt went through Liu Yun's heart. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was indeed Chen Beixuan, whom she had only briefly seen once before!
Why is he here?

“Fellow Daoist Chen, this is entirely his side of the story. I was the one who discovered that spiritual fruit first. This person stole it when I wasn’t paying attention and then tried to escape when the Misty Heaven Palace was destroyed.”

With a quick glance, Liu Yun immediately came up with a rebuttal.

"At the last moment, I finally caught up with him and chased this scoundrel who stole my spirit fruit all the way here. I didn't expect him to still be making excuses!"

Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit?

Lu Ye was slightly surprised.

This heavily injured, and rapidly declining Earth Realm Level 6 cultivator actually possessed one?
He searched many places on the third floor of the Mystic Palace, but found no trace of this item.

As for the statements from both sides...

Lu Ye's intuition told him that what the seriously injured person in front said was probably true, while the person behind him was completely fabricated.

Stealing a spiritual fruit from a seventh-level Earth Realm cultivator while only being at the sixth level of the Earth Realm?

This situation is not impossible, but the injured person in front clearly expressed great resentment in every word.

You can't fake it.

"Liu Yun, you really have no shame at all! I considered you a true friend and informed you of the news immediately, but what I got in return was your sneak attack!"

Xiao Jian threw the Heavenly Origin Divine Fruit to Lu Ye without hesitation, saying, "Senior Chen, I can't hold on much longer. I'll give this to you. I beg you to help me... otherwise, he won't let my Daoist partner go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jian spat out another mouthful of scarlet blood, and his aura completely weakened.

Being able to hold on until now by sheer willpower is already Xiao Jian's limit.

Seeing Xiao Jian toss him the spirit fruit that was entirely red with faint golden patterns, Lu Ye hesitated for a moment before catching it.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Liu Yun's eyes. He cupped his hands towards Lu Ye and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this belongs to me. Please return it to its rightful owner..." (End of Chapter)
