Chapter 443: Chapter 440 Spirit Frost Pavilion

"Brother Luo has already used his Martial Soul, if I were to concede now, wouldn’t it dampen brother’s spirits?"

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, suddenly, a gleam of sharpness flashed in his eyes, his treasured sword flickered once in mid-air and vanished, layers upon layers of Sword Qi swiftly passed through the air.

Ye Xuan did not cultivate Supreme Grade Swordsmanship, but his strength lay in the myriad sword techniques he held in his mind, and his masterful sword skills, enhanced by the two great realms of Sword Dao, had already surpassed their original limits.

This move was an accumulation of Sword Qi, but not a triple accumulation as before, rather it had increased to five layers.

Five-layered Sword Power.

"Break for me!"

With the enhancement of the Martial Soul, Luo Shixin was filled with boundless boldness. His face tensed, and he thrust his spear directly at Ye Xuan.

Bang!

The collision of Sword Qi and spear light erupted in rings of energy ripples, transforming into waves of air that surged in all directions.

The long spear in Luo Shixin’s hand flew out of his grasp, and he himself landed on the ground, continuously sliding backward, leaving behind a deep trench that stretched out for thirty feet.

The few people present were all stunned.

Luo Shixin, who had even released his Martial Soul, was unexpectedly flung away by Ye Xuan, utterly defeated. This could only mean one thing, Ye Xuan’s strength was decidedly superior to Luo Shixin’s.

"To defeat Brother Luo, this newcomer is truly formidable."

"Simply unfathomable, just with Sixth Grade Martial Sect Cultivation he’s already this strong, what if he breaks through to the Martial Venerate Realm?"

A group of Xuantian Sect disciples whispered among themselves, but while they talked, Ye Xuan had already closed the distance to Luo Shixin, giving him no chance to catch his breath. The Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword swept out like a storm, leaving Luo Shixin no room to breathe.

Luo Shixin felt a chill all over his body, the sword light so sharp he couldn’t even keep his eyes open and had to rely solely on his instincts to track Ye Xuan’s sword moves.

By the time he reacted, Ye Xuan’s Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword was already at his neck, needing only a slight movement to cut his throat and draw blood.

Realizing the gap between himself and Ye Xuan, Luo Shixin’s gaze flickered, and he finally let out a sigh, "I admit defeat, Junior Brother Ye is indeed a martial arts prodigy, Luo admires."

Within the Xuantian Sect, even among disciples, strength was always the deciding factor. Ye Xuan’s defeat of Luo Shixin undoubtedly elevated his status significantly in the eyes of these Xuantian Sect disciples.

Such strength indeed qualified him to compete among the elite disciples of the Inner Sect.

"Yielding."

Ye Xuan did not press the issue, after all, they were from the same sect, and there was no need to overly humiliate the other party

Should he have humiliated Luo Shixin, without a doubt it would have been equivalent to slapping the faces of those veteran Inner Sect disciples, and more people would have come to challenge him afterward.

Losing to Ye Xuan, Luo Shixin felt awkward about staying any longer, and after uttering a few bland words, he led the patrolling Xuantian Sect disciples and took his leave.

"Ye Xuan, you indeed didn’t disappoint this old man."

Elder Jin was highly pleased with Ye Xuan’s performance. He had thought Ye Xuan would lose, but instead, Ye Xuan had cleanly settled the match against Luo Shixin.

"But don’t think you can rest easy just yet. The news of you defeating Luo Shixin will surely bring more trouble, and those veteran disciples won’t be content until they’ve put you in your place," Elder Jin’s smile lasted only a moment before he quickly became serious again.

"Is it that troublesome?"

Ye Xuan hadn’t expected the rules of the Xuantian Sect to be so bothersome. Did a newcomer really have to be taught a lesson? What kind of ridiculous custom is that?

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to report in."

While Ye Xuan was still pondering, Elder Jin gestured to them, then led the way deeper into the Xuantian Sect.

...

The Xuantian Sect covered a vast territory, this mountain range of tens of thousands of miles all belonged to the Xuantian Sect, with palatial buildings and grand halls, all revealing the profound heritage of this millennia-old great sect.

Ye Xuan and the others followed Elder Jin to a grand and imposing hall, the hall where the newcomers like Ye Xuan were to report.

Elder Jin led Ye Xuan and others, collecting their respective identity plaques. As an Inner Sect Disciple, the procedure was inevitably a bit more complicated, but after spending about ten minutes, all the procedures were also completed. However, this was only for Inner Sect Disciples. They mentioned that if one were to be promoted to True Disciple, it would require worshipping the ancestors of the Xuantian Sect and accepting the ancestral decree before being granted the status of True Disciple.

However, True Disciples held a revered status within the Xuantian Sect, comparable to Inner Sect Elders, and there were very few of them.

"Elder Jin, nowadays most of the residences for Inner Sect Disciples’ cultivation have been occupied, leaving only the newly developed West Mountain Residence. Although the spiritual energy there is a bit thin, I believe with the operation of the Gathering Spirit Formation, the spiritual energy there will become increasingly rich."

The ones dealing with these miscellaneous affairs were two yellow-robed disciples. One of them said to Elder Jin with a smile. These disciples belonged to the Deacon Hall, untouched by Inner or Outer Sect affairs, exclusively managing sect matters.

"West Mountain Residence? Isn’t that where the Outer Sect disciples live? Ye Xuan is at least an Inner Sect Disciple, how can he live in such a place? That’s absolutely unacceptable." Elder Jin furrowed his brows, clearly the West Mountain Residence was not an ideal place for cultivation.

"By the way, didn’t I hear that there are still unoccupied residences in Spirit Frost Pavilion?" Elder Jin suddenly remembered something, then his eyes lit up.

"Spirit Frost Pavilion? That’s where the ’Inner Sect Four Demons’ reside. Junior Brother Ye, are you sure about living there?" The two Deacon Hall disciples exchanged looks, casting meaningful glances at Ye Xuan.

"Inner Sect Four Demons? Who are they?"

Ye Xuan was taken aback. What in the world were the Inner Sect Four Demons?

"The Inner Sect Four Demons are the titles Xuantian Sect disciples use for four top-rate experts in the Inner Sect. They are known for their eccentric personalities and ruthless behaviors, almost demonic, and they never go easy on their fellow disciples. Many disciples are afraid of these four, so they are called the Inner Sect Four Demons."

Elder Jin too had a stern expression and spoke in a solemn tone.

The Inner Sect Four Demons, each one was a tiger or wolf by nature. Indeed, for Ye Xuan, a newcomer, living with them would undoubtedly be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den; his outcome would be very grim.

Originally, the Spirit Frost Pavilion was occupied by the Four Demons. Suddenly adding Ye Xuan would definitely take some of the nature’s spiritual energy available for their cultivation, and with Ye Xuan lacking any backing, he most likely wouldn’t be able to stand his ground in the Spirit Frost Pavilion. He might even end up with broken limbs and be carried back.

Although the environment in West Mountain Residence was inferior, at least his physical safety was guaranteed.

Although the assignment of residences was usually arranged by the Deacon Hall, powerful disciples like the Inner Sect Four Demons could not be controlled by the Deacon Hall; they could only turn a blind eye.

"Then arrange for me to stay in the Spirit Frost Pavilion. The Inner Sect Four Demons, I want to see just how ruthless they can be." Ye Xuan shook his head. For a martial artist, the cultivation environment was very important, and evidently, West Mountain Residence was far inferior to Spirit Frost Pavilion by many degrees, placing him there would undoubtedly waste a lot of his time.

"Ye Xuan, you must think this through. The strength of the Inner Sect Four Demons is not something Luo Shixin from earlier can match, and they have no brotherly compassion. You, a newcomer, coveting their territory, might not end up being killed, but they will definitely be cruel, and by then it’ll be too late for regrets." Elder Jin couldn’t help but warn Ye Xuan one more time. He had long heard of the cruel methods of the Four Demons, and he felt it was his duty to warn the newcomer who definitely didn’t know.

"My mind is made up, Elder, no need to dissuade me further."

Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively. No matter how ruthless these four were, they were still just Inner Sect disciples of the Xuantian Sect. In his former life as Martial God, he had seen countless ruthless individuals and dealt with Demon Gods and Demon Spirits numerous times. A few Xuantian Sect disciples couldn’t scare him.

"Sigh, then take care of yourself."

Elder Jin sighed. He was sure that Ye Xuan would regret it later, not just him but the two Deacon Hall disciples also thought the same. Ye Xuan’s action was purely stubborn until he saw the coffin, he wouldn’t shed tears.

But this had nothing to do with them, and they could even enjoy the drama, seeing what kind of treatment Ye Xuan would receive.

...

After finishing up at the Deacon Hall, Ye Xuan received a reward of ten thousand Spirit Crystals and one thousand Merit Points as the champion of the Four Corners Conquest Tournament. Ten thousand Spirit Crystals was undoubtedly a large sum for Ye Xuan; surprisingly, the Xuantian Sect had casually given that. As for Merit Points, it was similar to the Contribution Value of the Heavenly Martial Hall but could be exchanged for higher-grade, better-quality items.

After reporting in, Ye Xuan also parted ways with Elder Jin. As he was leaving, Elder Jin still tried to persuade him to change his mind, but he didn’t care much. Even if it was into the dragon’s den and the tiger’s lair, he wanted to venture into it. Without even this bit of courage, how could he speak of future achievements?

Spirit Frost Pavilion, located in the central region of the Inner Sect of the Xuantian Sect, flanked by cliffs on the east and west, the terrain was treacherous.

However, it must be said, the spiritual energy here was indeed intensely rich. Although termed merely as a dormitory for disciples, it was extremely luxurious, giving off a grand and majestic feel.

At a glance, the array of grand halls was arranged in a mysterious pattern, unfathomable to comprehend.

In the Xuantian Sect, even the residences of the disciples were assigned based on strength. Spirit Frost Pavilion, doubtlessly, was one of the places with the most abundant spiritual energy. Initially, not only the Inner Sect Four Demons lived here, but other disciples were also harshly expelled by them, even with broken limbs or heavy injuries, and after that, nobody dared to come casually here.

When Ye Xuan arrived outside the Spirit Frost Pavilion, the sky had already darkened. However, not far away, he could see some Xuantian Sect disciples’ figures, their gazes unanimously falling on Ye Xuan.

"That’s the guy, Ye Xuan, who defeated Brother Luo Shixin right after entering the mountain gate."

"Interesting, it seems this person is also a little genius, just a bit too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. This Spirit Frost Pavilion, how could a mere newcomer like him covet it? Guess what his end will be."

"Need we even discuss it? Do you think the ’Inner Sect Four Demons’ are vegetarians? This kid will definitely end up with broken limbs and then directly thrown out, at the very least he’ll be bedridden for ten days to half a month."

"Ten days to half a month is too little; I think at least three months, or maybe even permanently paralyzed, it’s not impossible."
