The Time Secret Realm would last for a full month.

Before that, Ji Qianqian, the woman of suspicious origin, wouldn’t be able to do anything to Chu Xisheng.

So she had plenty of time, just take it slow.

As long as she could enter the Formless Divine Sect as an Outer Disciple before the end of the Time Secret Realm, that would suffice.

But plans never keep up with changes, and Lu Luanti hadn’t expected Chu Xisheng to actually stay at Sky Wave Residence.

Why didn’t that guy say it earlier?

Upon hearing this, Wei Shengliang’s chest filled with suppressed rage, and he scoffed coldly.

He was merely defeated by Liu Ruoxi, that girl with the peculiar talent, in a single bout.

Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry dared to issue him a challenge.

—Just a mere three hundred twenty-fourth place on the Heavenly List, what is that supposed to be?

He could have refused the battle, as the rankings on the Heavenly List between them were far apart.

Even if he refused, no one would fault him for it.

However, today Wei Shengliang wanted to vent out the frustration in his heart.

The battle just now was too much of a stifling defeat.

Liu Ruoxi purely used an endless amount of True Essence to overpower him, her Sword Skill showing no variability, which didn’t give Wei Shengliang any chance to display his profound swordsmanship.

Right now he could use this overconfident girl to alleviate his vexation.

And incidentally let the surrounding observing disciples understand just who Wei Shengliang was, and what his sword was like.

“I accept this battle!” Wei Shengliang’s sleeves fluttered, his eyes filled with expectation, “Let’s start right here, make it quick! Instructor, please preside over another duel for us two.”

Lu Luanti’s eyes lit up.

She hadn’t expected Wei Shengliang to actually accept the challenge.

Twenty breaths later, a ‘clank’ rang out from the platform.

With a flash of a three-colored blade light across the platform, Wei Shengliang’s long sword was knocked out of his hand, tumbling in the air.

Lu Luanti’s blade precisely and impeccably stopped at his throat.

Wei Shengliang’s eyes were vacant, his expression stupefied.

This time he was defeated even faster, it took just twelve strikes for his opponent to overwhelm him.

Wei Shengliang’s pupils had completely lost focus.

He thought he must have seen a ghost today. How could these two women be one stronger than the other?

Where on earth did they come from?

With such extraordinary talents, why were they unknown before?

And was there something wrong with the swordsmanship he had painstakingly cultivated for many years?

Why, in front of them, could he not even last twenty moves?

Lu Luanti, meanwhile, calmly sheathed her long sword, then challenged the crowd with a cupped-fist salute, “I, Luanyi, have set up a challenge here today, wishing to meet the heroes and stalwarts of the Formless Outer Court with the blade in my hand, and seek a defeat! Any fellow disciples ranked in the top hundred of the Heavenly List who are confident in besting me by even one and a half moves, feel free to step up to teach me a lesson!”

At this moment, all the disciples watching around the Tongtian Platform were in an uproar, almost all of them showing anger on their faces.

Liu Ruoxi was already standing below the platform.

Hearing Lu Luanti’s statement, she was dumbfounded, eyes wide open in shock.

Normally, her Senior Sister Lu acted carelessly, in a carefree and laissez-faire manner, and was very easygoing, not competing with others, and somewhat going with the flow.

Unexpectedly, she had shown such bravery today.

At this moment, in the air, the Disciplinary Court Master, Lu Shouyang, slightly raised his eyebrows, a hint of abnormal luster appearing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Changqing was not surprised, “Shouyang brother, have you noticed something?”

“I have a slight realization. This girl’s Sword Intent seems to be Three-Phases Martial Intent, but there is an additional layer beneath it.”

Lu Shouyang folded his arms behind him, his gaze calm, “If I’m not mistaken, the foundation of this girl’s Sword Skill should be the ‘Great Ming King Wheel.’ Has your Teaching Institute already known her identity? What are you planning to do with her?”

“The intention of Brother Qingxu is to not take action, and let things take their course.”

Qin Changqing noticed Lu Shouyang’s glance and politely bowed slightly, “Brother, you may not know that not long ago, Lu Chen, Sword and Dream, personally visited our Sect and had a secret talk with the Sect Master for an hour, accompanied by Brother Qingxu.”

Lu Shouyang suddenly understood.

These two must have reached some kind of deal.

Lu Shouyang didn’t have any negative feelings towards Lu Chen, Sword and Dream; on the contrary, he admired this person’s loyalty and righteousness.

Although the ‘Rebirth Heaven’ currently had a bounty on Lu Chen for Chu Ming, this was not because he was targeting the Formless Divine Sect. Rather, he did not want the Formless Divine Sect’s ‘Blood Vengeance Saint’ to fall into the hands of the Western Capital Chu Family.

“Let nature take its course then.”

Lu Shouyang mused for a moment, “After she has fought ten bouts, remove her name from the Heavenly List and transfer her to the Outer Disciples.”

He was concerned that this young girl would completely shatter the confidence in the Martial Arts of these outstanding disciples from the Lower Institute.

The girl hadn’t used even one-tenth of her strength. If she were to go all out, not one of them would be a match for her within a single strike.

Before Lu Shouyang had finished speaking, he suddenly sensed something and looked up towards the peak of the mountain.

He felt the summoning of Sect Master Li Changsheng.

The Sect Master was using his immense Divine Thought to cover the entire Formless Divine Mountain and ordering all the Great Elders within the mountain to go to Dao Yi Hall for a council.

※※※※

When the Disciplinary Institute Grand Elder Lu Shouyang hurried back to the peak of the Divine Mountain and stepped into Dao Yi Hall,

All the Great Elders within the Divine Mountain had already gathered inside the hall.

Scanning the room, Lu Shouyang noticed that even the usual reclusive Divine Pill Institute and Heavenly Artifact Institute Elders were summoned by the Sect Master to this place.

They were seated, concentrating on reading through several scrolls in their hands.

Scripture Pavilion Grand Elder Wang Baimei stood with his hands behind his back in front of Li Changsheng, at the uppermost place among the people, speaking about the origins and stories of the Wood Sword Immortal.
