A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Lin Wanli was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Chen with a strange expression, almost thinking he had stumbled into some mountain...

I've only been gone for half a year, when did Tianling Peak change hands and become occupied by someone else?

At this moment, a disciple leaned closer to Lin Wanli and whispered a reminder.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

"This must be Senior Brother Xu..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanli finally took a good look at Ye Chen in front of him, and a strange look flashed across his face as he sensed the fluctuations in Ye Chen's aura...

"Eighth level of Qi Refining?"

"Didn't you say you defeated Meng Fan? How come you're only at the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

"Could it be that someone is spreading rumors?"

"Damn it... I shouldn't have come. What a waste of my sword practice time..."

He frowned slightly, and upon seeing that Ye Chen's cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining stage, he immediately lost interest in challenging him...

He didn't want to be seen as a bully...

Seeing this, Ye Chen glanced at Lin Wanli with surprise, not expecting the other party to react this way...

All the disciples who had competed with him before were overjoyed to see that he was at the Qi Refining stage, and they all thought they could win the competition.

"That good-for-nothing Meng Fan, I did indeed defeat him..."

Ye Chen said calmly, without any pride.

Meng Fan might be very strong among the outer disciples, but he didn't take him seriously...

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanli, who was about to leave, paused, looking at Ye Chen in surprise and disbelief...

"You... at the eighth level of Qi Refining, defeated Meng Fan, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Do you even believe that yourself?

At this point, Lin Wanli was more skeptical that Ye Chen was exaggerating...

If he were to fight an opponent several realms above him, even with the most powerful swordsmanship, he wouldn't be able to win...

Seeing this, many female disciples stood up to testify for Ye Chen...

"Senior Brother Lin, what Senior Brother Xu said is true. I personally witnessed him defeat Senior Brother Meng Fan at Xianxia Peak yesterday..."

"Yes! I was there, and I saw it. Even though Senior Brother Meng Fan had taken a forbidden drug like the Bloodthirsty Pill, he was still no match for Senior Brother Xu..."

"It wasn't just us, many of the sisters saw it too. It was Senior Brother Xu who defeated Meng Fan, he completely crippled him..."

......

They all lived on Xianxia Peak and witnessed the entire competition between Ye Chen and Meng Fan...

Upon hearing this, many disciples also spoke up.

"Although I didn't witness Senior Brother Xu defeat Senior Brother Meng Fan in person, I did see him defeat Xie Huai'an, that's absolutely true..."

"Xie Huai'an was also a peak Foundation Establishment expert, yet Senior Brother Xu, with his Qi Refining eighth level cultivation, easily defeated him..."

"I also saw the match between Senior Brother Xu and Xie Huai'an. It was absolutely amazing! Senior Brother Xu completely dominated Xie Huai'an..."

"I can testify! Senior Brother Xu's strength is not as simple as his cultivation level suggests..."

......

Almost all the disciples present had come to Ye Chen for help, so they were naturally willing to prove their strength to him...

Hearing what everyone was saying, Lin Wanli gradually came to believe that Ye Chen had defeated Meng Fan despite being weaker. Now, he re-examined Ye Chen before him, filled with curiosity about his strength...

"If you can truly defeat Meng Fan, then you will indeed be qualified to be my opponent, Lin Wanli..."

"I also heard that Elder Xu Changqing gave you a celestial sword?"

Lin Wanli looked at Ye Chen with burning eyes and said.

This was also one of the reasons he came to see Ye Chen today...

For Lin Wanli, who was obsessed with swordsmanship, the immortal sword was something he could only dream of...

"What, you want to steal my sword?"

Ye Chenchong raised an eyebrow at him, his voice turning colder...

Meeting Ye Chen's gaze, Lin Wanli seemed to realize that he was in the wrong, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly said.

"If I win, give me the immortal sword Elder Xu gave you..."

"If I lose, I'll give you this Xuan Yang Sword..."

Hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at the sword in his hand and chuckled dismissively...

"You piece of junk, you dare to bet against my legendary sword?"

"this..."

Lin Wanli hesitated for a moment, then said, "Naturally, it cannot be compared to the Legend of Sword and Fairy..."

"only..."

"When it comes to betting, it's not about what you want, but what I have..."

"This sword is all I have that's valuable..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, a malicious smile appearing on his face. He looked at Lin Wanli as if he were a fat sheep delivered to his doorstep...

"Who said you only have this one sword?"

"If you lose, besides this sword, you'll also have to give me your storage bag!"

"how?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Wanli was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"good!"

"It's a deal..."

He seemed afraid that Ye Chen would refuse.

Seeing his expression, a hint of suspicion flashed across Ye Chen's face; something seemed off...

Could it be that this kid has two storage bags on him?

But... who cares about a few storage bags? Once we win, he can take them whenever he wants, right?

"Then it's settled!"

Ye Chen spoke up.

"etc..."

Lin Wanli seemed to remember something and hurriedly stopped him.

"What...you're going to back out?" Ye Chen's face darkened. "It's too late to regret it now..."

He wasn't about to let this easy target slip through his fingers...

After all, he was worried about the lack of pills!

"It's not that I'm backing out..." Lin Wanli shook his head and explained.

"We need to agree on this first: you can't use the immortal sword Elder Xu gave you during the competition, but you can use any other sword you like..."

He was obsessed with the way of the sword, so he naturally knew how terrifying the power of a celestial sword could be; the enhancement of a celestial artifact was practically cheating...

If Ye Chen's strength truly far surpasses those of others at the same realm, then with the added advantage of the immortal sword, he will undoubtedly be defeated...

At the same time, he was unable to gain any additional insights from fighting Ye Chen, who was wielding a celestial sword.

Lin Wanli's purpose in challenging Ye Chen wasn't solely for the Immortal Sword; he also wanted to find a worthy opponent to test his skills and gain insights into swordsmanship...

Upon hearing Lin Wanli's request, Ye Chen immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I don't need to use the Legend of Sword and Fairy..."

"To deal with you... I won't even need a sword..."

Although he didn't break through to a higher realm after a night of cultivation, his cultivation level improved significantly, and his strength was at least twice that of the previous day...

Even without the Immortal Sword, he was confident he could easily defeat Meng Fan, so he was naturally very confident in dealing with Lin Wanli in front of him...

"you..."

Lin Wanli frowned slightly, and seeing that Ye Chen dared to look down on him, he immediately became angry...

"Alright, alright, you'll regret this later!"

"If you lose, you'll have to give me the Immortal Sword..."

Ye Chen chuckled lightly, "Rest assured, this great king keeps his word and will do what he says!"
