n

n

nShen Ran’s words caused a huge commotion among the many disciples.

n

nIn an instant, the entire square became very noisy.

n

n“Hiss… Is Senior Brother Shen determined to make Senior Sister Zhao his maid?”

n

n“This bet was clearly suggested by Senior Sister Zhao herself. Now, she’s shooting herself in the foot.”

n

n“Senior Brother Shen really dared to say that. Isn’t he afraid that Senior Sister Zhao’s master will blame him?!”

n

n…

n

nNot only was Zhao Honglian very famous in the sect, more importantly, she was outstandingly beautiful!

n

nThere had always been many suitors and admirers.

n

nTherefore, when Zhao Honglian’s suitors heard Shen Ran’s words, their faces darkened.

n

n“What’s there to be proud of? Isn’t it just a little talent in alchemy?”

n

n“That’s right, that’s right. He’s not even a Dao Seed, yet he dares to ask Senior Sister Zhao to be his maid!”

n

n…

n

nListening to the discussions and indignation of the disciples in the square, Zhao Honglian’s pretty face turned green and purple.

n

nBeside her, Mu Yugesighed in her heart as she saw her disciple’s dejected look.

n

nShe said calmly, “Go back with me.

n

nI’ll ask Luo Qifeng for his opinion about the maid matter!”

n

nZhao Honglian shook her head slowly.

n

n“Master, you don’t have to persuade me. I deserve what I have today.”

n

nLooking at Zhao Honglian’s grayish-white face, Mu Yuge opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

n

nMu Yuge knew that her disciple’s Dao heart had completely collapsed.

n

nShen Ran had become her inner demon.

n

nShe would probably never be able to jump out!

n

nEven if Mu Yuge forcefully pressured Luo Qifeng to prevent Zhao Honglian from becoming a maid, it would not help!

n

n“Idiot…”

n

nMu Yuge did not know what to say.

n

nShe sighed faintly and finally turned into a rainbow that soared into the sky!

n

n“I hope you can figure it out for yourself, and be rid of the demon in your heart.”

n

n…

n

nSecond Summit.

n

nWang Qingxuan’s residence.

n

nAt this moment, he was sitting cross-legged, spiritual light flickering on his body.

n

nBetween each breath, white fog that was like dragons and snakes surged in front of him!

n

nAbove his head, a millstone-sized spiritual energy vortex was steadily flowing into his body like a water pillar.

n

nAs time passed, Wang Qingxuan suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his body.

n

nIt was as if he had broken through some shackles!

n

nThe next moment.

n

nA shocking aura enveloped the Second Summit.

n

nSensing the abundant power in his body, Wang Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were like lightning!

n

nI’ve finally broken through to the fifth level of Illumination!

n

nThese two days, with the medicinal pills and resources sent by the Demon Cult, Wang Qingxuan regained his former genius speed.

n

nHe broke through two small realms in one go.

n

nWang Qingxuan, who had made a breakthrough, was in a good mood.

n

nShen Ran!

n

nLet’s see how long you can jump around!!

n

nNow, he was already at the fifth level of the Illumination Realm and was much stronger than before.

n

nIf not for the fact that he was afraid of exposing his identity, he could crush a mere Divine Sea Realm cultivator with a single finger!

n

nWang Qingxuan, who was immersed in the joy of his breaking through, prepared to walk out the door.

n

nSuddenly, outside his divine sense door, his subordinate, Shangguan You, rushed into the house in a flurried manner.

n

nThis person shouted as he ran.

n

n“Your Highness, bad news!”

n

nHearing this, Wang Qingxuan’s heart skipped a beat.

n

nHe had a bad feeling!

n

nThe last time was when Shen Ran robbed the Demon Cult stronghold in the Death Abyss.

n

nPrior to that, Shen Ran killed his trusted subordinate, Mo Ya.

n

nCould it be related to Shen Ran this time?

n

nThinking of this, Wang Qingxuan was the first to speak. “It is most improper to behave in a flurried manner!

n

nWhat’s the matter?!”

n

nShangguan You said breathlessly, “Your… Your Highness! Shen Ran beat Zhao Honglian and was ranked first in the Myriad Medicine Pavilion’s stone tower, causing the stone tower to chime 12 times!”

n

nTwelve chimes of the stone tower?!

n

nThis meant that Shen Ran had obtained the alchemy inheritance of the second-generation sect master of the Empyrean Sect!

n

nWang Qingxuan’s expression instantly turned ugly.

n

nWhy is even Zhao Honglian not his match?!

n

nHow many days had he been in seclusion?

n

nWhy did Shen Ran win the challenge?!

n

nThis time, Shen Ran’s status in the Empyrean Sword Sect rose exponentially.

n

nIf he wanted to attack again, he would attract the attention of the elders of the Empyrean Sword Sect!!

n

nListening to his subordinate’s report, Wang Qingxuan gritted his teeth. I wonder what kind of opportunity this kid obtained. Not only has he become a Divine Sea Realm cultivator, but his alchemy talent has also surpassed Zhao Honglian!

n

n“Bang!”

n

nWang Qingxuan’s gaze was cold and filled with killing intent.

n

nI should have killed him back then and made him unable to even be a servant disciple!!!

n

nHe regretted it now.

n

nAfter a moment of silence, he finally said slowly, “Shangguan You, I’ll give you a Spirit Explosion Pill. Go and test Shen Ran’s true strength.”

n

nWith that, Wang Qingxuan took out a brown pill the size of a longan from his storage bag.

n

nHis subordinate, Shangguan You, took the Spirit Explosion Pill and bowed heavily.

n

n“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I won’t disappoint you!”

n

nShangguan You was the strongest person by Wang Qingxuan’s side.

n

nWith his ninth-level Divine Sea cultivation and the violent effect of the Spirit Explosion Pill, he was comparable to a first level Illumination Realm expert.

n

nHe believed that Shen Ran was definitely not a match against such strength!

n

nLooking at the departing figure of his subordinate, Shangguan You, Wang Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with coldness!

n

nWhether Shangguan You succeeded or not, Wang Qingxuan would roughly know Shen Ran’s strength.

n

nThis would allow him to be fully prepared.
