65: The hidden person steps forward.

Even Qin Qingluan herself hadn't expected this. She only wanted to live, so why did things turn out this way?

Qin Tai, who witnessed the entire scene in the square, was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that Su Chen actually killed Qin Qingluan.

"Well done. I, Lu Lan, accept you as a friend," Lu Lan said.

"Too bad, you won't have the chance!" Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Lu Lan was confused.

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth curled up, revealing a bloodthirsty smile: "According to your rules, since I interrupted a Life-and-Death Battle, how can I just walk away so easily?"

"Do you think you're strong?" Lu Lan pointed her Soft Sword at Jiang Yan.

"The moment you thought about attacking me, you were already a dead man."

As Jiang Yan finished speaking, Blood Shadow Ghost Evasion instantly activated.

But just as he was preparing to sever Lu Lan's head, a figure suddenly blocked his path.

"Who are you?" Jiang Yan frowned slightly, carefully sizing up the man in front of him.

"I am Zhang Dongtian, the Three-Victory Blood Son. You are about to become a Blood Son yourself, so there's no need to fight now!" Zhang Dongtian said.

Jiang Yan had a smile on his lips and spoke calmly: "But my Senior Sister is dead. I must avenge my Senior Sister, mustn't I?"

As soon as Jiang Yan said this, everyone around was stunned. What kind of move was this?

Didn't you kill your Senior Sister yourself? Why are you blaming someone else now?

"You killed your Senior Sister yourself. What does that have to do with her?" Zhang Dongtian asked.

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "My Senior Sister would have been dead three days later anyway, but I didn't like what she said, so I simply sent her off first on her behalf. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Shocked, the Disciples in the square were all trembling with fear at Jiang Yan's words. Could it really be explained like this?

In Jiang Yan's view, since everyone was "crazy," why not play by the rules of the crazy? After all, nobody cared about mutual slaughter in this Sect, so he might as well participate. Since he could plunder resources, he wouldn't lose out either way.

"That is sophistry!" Zhang Dongtian said angrily.

"But am I wrong?" Jiang Yan countered with a smile.

At that moment, the Disciples present nodded in unison, greatly agreeing with Jiang Yan's logic.

"No matter what, I am protecting Lu Lan, unless you intend to violate the Blood Son Regulations!" Zhang Dongtian stated.

"Fine, you're awesome!" Jiang Yan gave a thumbs-up. "I have a fixation: anyone I set my sights on, I will find a way to kill. You should understand that."

"Wait!" Zhang Dongtian called out to Jiang Yan, who was about to leave. "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Nothing at all! We'll see about this!" Jiang Yan waved dismissively, leaving Zhang Dongtian only with his departing back.

Before leaving the square, Jiang Yan glanced at Qin Tai out of the corner of his eye.

'Interesting. Looks like I'll have to reluctantly kill him too.'

The resources Jiang Yan gave Qin Tai were enough for him to advance to the Second Layer of qi-blood, but Qin Tai hadn't improved at all. In contrast, Qin Qingluan had gained a significant boost.

However, Lu Lan's cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of qi-blood, and she possessed more methods than Qin Qingluan, so no matter what, Qin Qingluan was destined to die today.

And Qin Tai being so anxious to call them over made things rather intriguing.

Inside Fang Yu's Dao Field on Blood Heavy Peak.

At this moment, only Jiang Yan and Fang Yu were inside the Dao Field; the other Disciples were only allowed to stand outside.

"Not planning to keep up the act?" Fang Yu asked.

"I've acted enough, and I hate being schemed against," Jiang Yan said, sitting opposite Fang Yu.

A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yu's mouth as he poured Jiang Yan a cup of Tea: "This is the Su Chen I know."

In Fang Yu's opinion, the Slaughterer during the Entrance Trial was the real Su Chen, but after entering the Sect, Su Chen seemed to deliberately hide himself.

Although Fang Yu was puzzled, he didn't say anything. Perhaps Su Chen was afraid, or perhaps it was due to other matters.

But today, Su Chen stepped forward again, and Fang Yu felt that this was the true Su Chen.

Afraid?

Impossible. In his view, Su Chen's bloodthirsty demeanor showed no fear at all. Even he, the Revered Master, was nothing more than a decoration in Su Chen's eyes.

Jiang Yan didn't speak; he just slowly sipped the Tea.

"Next, what do you plan to do?" Fang Yu asked.

"Improve my strength and slaughter those who get in the way," Jiang Yan said flatly.

"Alright." Fang Yu set down his Teacup. "This place will be reserved for you from now on. I will have those useless people leave on their own."

When the people standing outside heard Fang Yu's words, their hearts sank.

They never expected that in Fang Yu's eyes, they were nothing more than trash.

"No need," Jiang Yan picked up the Teapot and refilled Fang Yu's cup. "Just let them stay. I need them to stand in front of me, after all, some people are indeed stronger than me."

"Are you talking about Ye Qingfeng?" Fang Yu asked seriously.

Jiang Yan didn't answer, he just nodded.

"That's true." Fang Yu nodded, admitting: "After all, his cultivation is above mine. Given that you've just entered Body Tempering, this is certainly the case."

"Two years!" Jiang Yan held up two fingers. "In two years, you will receive the reward you desire."

"Good. Then I will stand in front of you and block those unnecessary troubles for you," Fang Yu said.

As the transaction between the two was completed, the storm targeting the Blood Sons began to brew today.

Fang Yu didn't think Jiang Yan was joking about his life, and the strength Jiang Yan displayed today was already comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even if Jiang Yan had told Fang Yu to dismiss his Disciples and focus all efforts on Cultivating him alone, Fang Yu wouldn't have hesitated.

After all, he had Cultivated so many Disciples, yet none of them had ever brought him back resources. Therefore, Yun Tianze and the others were truly expendable.

As Jiang Yan pushed open the Dao Field gate, Yun Tianze and the others were so startled they immediately took a step back.

"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for any Cultivation resources," Jiang Yan tossed out the sentence and walked down the peak.

"Su Chen..." Yin Duo quickly called out to Jiang Yan. "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Jiang Yan didn't turn his head, merely gesturing a handshake motion.

"Let's go. We are fundamentally not in the same world as him," Liao Yuan said.

Yun Tianze and the others nodded, then walked into the Dao Field.

Fang Yu glanced at Yun Tianze and the others and said flatly: "Perform well. If you are trash, leave sooner rather than later."

"Revered Master, we were wrong." Yin Duo was the first to kneel, followed immediately by Kang Chao and Liao Yuan, who also knelt on the ground.

Fang Yu shook his head. He was deeply disappointed at this moment—disappointed in these Disciples.

Not a single person could grasp Su Chen's meaning.

Seeing Fang Yu walk back into the room, Yin Duo quickly asked: "Senior Brother, what did Revered Master mean? We have already recognized our mistakes."

Yun Tianze glanced at Yin Duo, then at Liao Yuan. Suddenly, he smiled and sat cross-legged to Cultivate.

"What does Senior Brother mean?" Yin Duo's gaze fell upon Liao Yuan.

Liao Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, don't ask me."

Liao Yuan truly didn't understand, but he knew that Yun Tianze choosing not to kneel must be correct.

Since Yun Tianze was right, he would Cultivate alongside Yun Tianze.

Blood Heavy Peak, North Courtyard.

When Jiang Yan returned, every Disciple of Blood Heavy Peak treated him with utmost respect.

Jiang Yan ignored the crowd, went back to his room to tidy up, and then headed towards the South Courtyard with his belongings.

"Blood Disciple Su, is he planning to kill someone?"

Subsequently, a group of North Courtyard Disciples quickly followed behind Jiang Yan. They were eager to know who Su Chen would challenge.

The South Courtyard of Blood Heavy Peak consisted entirely of individual courtyards. Two of these belonged to the Second Victory Blood Disciple and the Four-Victory Blood Son of Blood Heavy Peak, while the remaining three courtyards were for their Servants.

Jiang Yan glanced at the middle courtyard and kicked the courtyard gate.

As Jiang Yan's kick landed, the Bamboo Gate of the small courtyard instantly shattered.

"Who is it?" A tall youth wearing a Red and Black Robe appeared before Jiang Yan.

"This little courtyard of yours is decent. I'm taking it; you can scram," Jiang Yan said, stepping inside.

"You're courting death!" the youth shouted, drawing his Long Sword and attacking Jiang Yan.

"Clang!"

Just as the youth's Long Sword was about to touch Jiang Yan, his sword was instantly clamped between Jiang Yan's two fingers.

"Who exactly are you?" the youth demanded.

"This year's New Blood Son!" Jiang Yan finished speaking and kicked the youth.

The youth was seen flying out of the courtyard like a ball.

"How dare you! I am a Blood Son too!" the youth stood up and roared angrily.

Jiang Yan stood with his back to the youth, pointing to the adjacent courtyard: "Go live next door!"

After speaking, Jiang Yan continued walking into the house.

The Disciples who had followed to watch the show were all dumbfounded. They never expected Su Chen to defeat Li Dong with a single kick!
