They are the women standing behind me.

Then Shang Shishen's legs suddenly went limp, and in full view of everyone, it was as if they were forcibly pressed down by an invisible hand.

Kneeling in public, Shang Shishen let out a shrill scream as a slight sound as if bones were breaking was heard. His hair was disheveled and his face was pale.

No one could believe it.

Even Nangong Xin, Gui Yiling, Mei Xueshuang and others did not expect that Qin Xingyuan would dare to use the power of the Mountain and River Sword Formation to force the disciples of the Sword Sect founded by the invincible and great-era Xu Chengdao to kneel in front of everyone.

After all, this is a naked humiliation to the Sword Sect!

If the news were to spread, it would definitely be a terrifying storm sweeping across the southernmost region, plunging the entire southernmost region into complete turmoil!

Qin Xingyuan was a really arrogant and conceited person. He had no idea how to write the word "fear" and was completely unafraid of anything.

"Qin Xiaoyou, have you overdone it?"

At this moment, a voice containing a little bit of anger was heard.

Many people were startled at the sound and looked over. An old man in a gray robe quietly appeared and shouted condescendingly, "If you lose, even if you are killed, it's because you are inferior in skill. My Sword Sect will never say a word. But using a sword formation to force someone to kneel in public, isn't that too inappropriate? After all, our sect was founded by a truly great figure who was unrivaled in the world and lived in a great era!"

Many people felt dizzy and frightened when they heard the sound.

"Sure enough, there's a big shot from the Sword Sect secretly following Shang Shishen!"

Xu Yuanqing pondered inwardly, while the shocked crowd had different expressions.

At this moment, Qin Xingyuan felt that familiar strange feeling coming again...

He raised his head and questioned in front of everyone in a domineering manner: "Even if I have lost my sense of propriety now, what can you do?! What can your Sword Sect do?!"

The sound echoed in everyone's ears, making them feel like their ears were buzzing.

The gray-robed old man's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his cloudy old eyes were about to burst with anger. This, this was simply so arrogant and conceited that it was outrageous!

But he and the entire Sword Sect really had no choice.

Although it would be extremely easy to find an opportunity to kill Qin Xingyuan secretly as long as he was not in the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, as long as Qin Xingyuan died, no matter who did it, at such a critical moment, even a fool would think it was done by the Sword Sect.

If even such a highly regarded genius was killed, and the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect did not seek revenge or take any action, then... what would the disciples of this sect think?

Would he feel disheartened? Would he think that if he were bullied or killed, the sect wouldn't care at all?

How could anyone feel a sense of belonging to the sect in this way?

Where is the cohesion at all?

Even killing the peerless genius who was the treasure of this sect was enough to give the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect a reason to declare war on the Sword Sect and fight to the death.

Once the two sects go to war, both sides will naturally have vassal small and medium-sized forces as well as friendly large forces, and they will also have many powerful friends. No one will be alone, and the entire southernmost region will fall into terrifying turmoil, and countless people will die.

Regardless of whether the Sword Sect wins or loses, it will be severely damaged and will completely fall from the ranks of major forces - the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect is not a soft persimmon, it is also a major local force.

To take a step back, even if there is no war, the big figures of this sect continue to secretly kill the geniuses of the Sword Sect who have left the sect to retaliate. What can the Sword Sect do?

They really had no choice but to retaliate, and they continued to secretly kill the geniuses of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect and dig out each other's seeds.

But who benefits from this?

In fact, the Sword Sect's original intention was to let Shang Shishen defeat Qin Xingyuan and teach him a lesson. In order to be on the safe side, just in case, they temporarily gave him the Zhentian Immortal Sword.

But who would have thought that Shang Shishen would be so vulnerable even with the Zhentian Immortal Sword?

Even the old man in gray robe couldn't believe it.

Shang Shishen, who was now kneeling on the ground in public, was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He roared in humiliation, "Qin Xingyuan, my sect is full of geniuses. Don't think that you are the only powerful person in the world! Do you know why the scar on my face is..."

"Come on, everyone, if you have the guts!"

Qin Xingyuan stood proudly, his voice exploding like thunder from the sky, shocking the ten directions. "Come one, I'll crush one. Come a group, I'll crush a group. I'll see who in the Sword Sect dares to think of themselves as a genius again!"

Chapter 25: The Heavenly Immortal Sword Refuses to Return

……

This incident was like an extremely terrifying storm, spreading at an astonishing speed.

Qin Xingyuan of the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect defeated Shang Shishen of the Sword Sect with unmatched force. Shang Shishen used the Heavenly Immortal Sword, one of the seven sect's guardian swords. He openly declared that no matter which genius of the Sword Sect came, he would crush him one by one, and no matter how many groups of them came, he would crush them all. He wanted to make sure that no one in the Sword Sect would dare to think of themselves as geniuses anymore!

This incident was like a huge rock falling into the water in the southernmost region, instantly causing thousands of waves and triggering heated discussions.

The Sword Sect was founded by Xu Chengdao, a great figure of that era who was invincible. How could ordinary people imagine the strength of its tradition and the depth of its foundation?

However, the genius of this sect who is at the same level as Qin Xingyuan is under tremendous pressure and dare not show up easily - if he loses, it will be a disgrace to the sect.

What's even more widely spread is that Shang Shishen, a genius of the Sword Sect, even used the Zhentian Immortal Sword, one of the seven great swords of the sect, but he was still completely vulnerable when facing Qin Xingyuan?

Let’s not talk about Qin Xingyuan’s arrogance and conceit, but his strength is indeed terrifying among cultivators of the same level, and he really has the capital and confidence.

Of course, everyone believed that once the disciples of the Sword Sect saw Qin Xingyuan in the future, they would definitely not have any good face and would definitely target him in any way they could.

……

Jian Zong.

Xu Xingwei arrived at the main hall of the Sword Sect and found that all the elders of the Sword Sect who could come, as well as the two supreme masters and the head of the sect who were not in retreat were there.

Her face was extremely ugly, and she looked angrily at the old man present, whom she called "Mu Lao".

She was really furious and furious.

She had clearly said it at the time. She was too lazy to argue with Qin Xingyuan, a small figure in the early Jindan stage. But...

There was even a hint that this matter was getting worse and worse. She really felt that small things were becoming big things, and big things were becoming huge things...

Let's not even talk about how they'd interact with the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect, which was also located in the southernmost region. This was such a targeted and embarrassing situation for a peerless genius with the backing of a powerful force...

If Qin Xingyuan doesn't die, the feud between them will only get bigger. How can this be a good thing for the Sword Sect?

But as long as Qin Xingyuan died, how could those present not understand in their hearts that no matter whether it was true or not, not to mention the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, even the outside world would unanimously believe that it was the Sword Sect that did it. How could the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect not fight back?

So no one would be stupid enough to suggest whether or not to kill Qin Xingyuan secretly.

"What's the deal with Qin Xingyuan's strength? My clan leader Shang Shishen even used the Heavenly Suppression Immortal Sword, but not only was he unable to do anything to him, he was actually..."

One elder's face was filled with rage and dismay. "But if this gets out, our Sword Sect's reputation will be tarnished! He even made such outrageous statements. How can we not give him a defeat? Let him know his place?"

No one present looked happy.

When this matter became known, it was truly hilarious.

After all, the disciples of the Sword Sect brought the Zhentian Immortal Sword to find trouble with Qin Xingyuan. Even a fool would know that the Sword Sect must have been behind this. It was obvious that they wanted Shang Shishen to defeat Qin Xingyuan, but in the end he was beaten by them.

Forget it.

As a result, even the Zhentian Immortal Sword was completely "vulnerable".

They really had never thought of this possibility.

So they would rather Shang Shishen just lose and not use the Zhentian Immortal Sword, so as not to lose face even more.

Otherwise, what will the outside world think?

Even this incident has no impact on the reputation of the Sword Sect?

"Let's not talk about Qin Xingyuan's personality for now. He is indeed extraordinary in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. I'm afraid there are not many cultivators of the same realm who can defeat him. If he can grow up, he will definitely be a powerful figure."

Xu Xingwei couldn't help but emphasize, "Our sect is targeting him so much. If he doesn't want to stop, he must be tough to the end. But if he is tough, it will not only make us enemies with him, but also with the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect behind him... In the long run, this will not be worth the loss!"

"Xingwei, now that things have come to this, how can we stop?!"

Sect Leader Zhan Jingzhong's face was solemn as he declared in a resounding voice, "This matter has now escalated to a level that concerns the reputation and dignity of our sect. We must inflict a crushing defeat on this arrogant and conceited youngster, Qin Xingyuan, in order to enhance the prestige of our Sword Sect. He was the founder of our Sword Sect, and the one who passed down our lineage. What a great figure! He was once an unrivaled figure of a great era! Humph, how can a mere founder of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect even compare to him?"

There was an inexplicable sense of natural superiority in his words.

"How about letting Junior Brother Chen fight against Qin Xingyuan, this arrogant and conceited man?"

Someone present made a suggestion.

After hearing this, the others looked at each other.

Xu Xingwei knew that the Junior Brother Chen that person was talking about was the swaddled baby that Chen Taishang picked up when he left the sect to do business in the past. Chen Taishang gave the baby his surname and named him Changyun.

This person is also a peerless genius with a natural heart for swordsmanship. He can basically be said to be born for the path of swordsmanship. He is very powerful, but in fact he is an extremely warlike and even quite insane madman.

The scar on Shang Shishen's face was left by this man's sword. If the elders of the sect had not been present at that time, Shang Shishen might have been killed.

He really despises people who are not as good as him from the bottom of his heart.

Not only do they not want to associate with people who are inferior to themselves, they even believe that the weak have no right to live in this world.

The news of this matter was blocked by the Sword Sect.

But Chen Changyun was also completely confined to his house and could no longer appear in the Sword Sect or the outside world.

"Shangshang Chen, even my sect's proud son Shang Shishen, who brought the Heavenly Sword, was defeated by the arrogant and conceited Qin Xingyuan..."

The Sect Master Zhan Jingzhong said, "I'm afraid we'll have to have your disciple come forward to spread the reputation of our sect. Although Changyun is a bit crazy, we all know his strength. This also concerns the reputation and prestige of the sect. At worst, we can wait until he finishes the fight, then quickly suppress and capture him and send him back to confinement to practice."

Chen Taishang thought for a moment, nodded, and ordered, "Go and bring the person here."

At that moment, some outer sect elders quickly left the scene temporarily.

Xu Xingwei's expression changed slightly as she said, "Master Chen, are you really going to let..."

Chen Taishang interrupted, "Xingwei, Qin Xingyuan has acted this way. If possible, he must pay a heavy price. Since the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect can't discipline him, my Sword Sect will take care of him!"

After hearing this, Xu Xingwei deeply regretted what she had said to that old man Mu.

Otherwise, how could it become like this?

She felt she had a great responsibility.

Not long after, the outer sect elder who had left came back with a handsome young man.

His hands were handcuffed and his feet were shackled.

Like a criminal who has committed a serious crime.

"Master, long time no see!"

Chen Changyun said with a smile: "I didn't expect so many elders to be here. Oh, even Senior Sister Xu, who is known as the descendant of the ancestor's bloodline, is here? What kind of happy event is going on? Is Senior Sister Xu going to marry a son-in-law to have a child?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many present changed. Chen Tai's face darkened considerably, and he angrily shouted in front of everyone, "Traitor! How dare you speak of the descendants of our ancestor's bloodline like that! How dare you?!"

Only the descendants of the founder's bloodline can communicate with the seven swords that guard the sect left behind by the founder. No one else can. Therefore, their importance is self-evident.

"Why not?"

Chen Changyun tilted his head and said in surprise, "Senior Sister Xu, besides being a descendant of our ancestor's bloodline, what else can she show off? Master, in my eyes, she is just at a higher level. If she were at the same level as me..."

When he said this, he raised his head and laughed crazily, "Disciple, I can crush you with one move. If I can't do it, I will give up my cultivation and become a mortal."

Xu Xingwei's face turned ashen, and she glared at Chen Changyun with gritted teeth.

Chen Taishang said directly without further ado, "Go and fight Qin Xingyuan of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect."

"Qin... Xingyuan? I've heard of him. He's hailed as the most arrogant figure in the world by the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect..."

Chen Changyun was a little surprised, "But... why?"

"Junior Brother Chen, my sect's Shang Shishen went to fight him, but he was no match for him, and he even spoke rudely."

After Sect Leader Zhan Jingzhong finished speaking, Chen Changyun raised his handcuffed hands, clapped them lightly, and said with a laugh, "It seems that the elders are very clear in their minds. Among the early Jindan realm cultivators in the entire sect, I am the only one who is not a waste. Everyone else is a waste. Look, if you had come to me first, what would have happened?"

He narrowed his eyes as he finished speaking, then smiled brightly again. "So, trash is trash, that's just the nature of it. No matter how much you train them, they'll never become someone capable of standing on their own and shouldering important responsibilities. But since you've come to me, I'll make a condition."

"How dare you, a traitor, do this?!"

Chen Taishang asked with a gloomy expression.

"Master, I just want to take back what originally belonged to me, such as the position of Chief Disciple."

Chen Changyun said calmly, "Please go and tell my sect's chief disciple, who is currently in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, to either kneel down and admit that he is not as good as me, or fight me. But if I accidentally kill him, then this loser... is asking for death. He deserves it. He can't really blame me. After all, I gave him a choice. It all depends on what he chooses."

Everyone's faces turned grim. Killing fellow clan members was the most unbreakable rule for every faction, yet he kept saying it in public.

"If you, the traitor, don't want to fight Qin Xingyuan, then go back!" Chen Taishang said in a very rude voice.

Chen Changyun looked at Chen Taishang with a smile on his face. "Master, you really don't care about the master-disciple relationship at all. But the master's kindness is greater than heaven. Since it is Master's wish, then disciple will do it. Qin Xingyuan...? Disciple will defeat him."

"Qin Xingyuan is very strong!"

Chen Taishang laughed in anger, "Don't think you can hold the line, you traitor... Besides, you've been grounded for too long, you need some hard work."

"Master, no matter how strong Qin Xingyuan is, I, your disciple, can defeat him."

Chen Changyun laughed like a madman, "Without Master, there would be no disciple today! I owe Master so much! So as long as it is Master's wish, I will definitely do it! How could I lose... Master's face?"
