203: Chapter 203 The world is drunk, but I am sober...

"Buzz~~~ Clang!"

Only when the Devilish Qi was split apart did the sunlight above the clouds spill down through that sword scar.

Only then did a clear and resonant sword chime suddenly ring out between heaven and earth!

Then,

everyone finally reacted as a flash of sword light appeared before their eyes.

Meanwhile, the arrogant expression on Xue Wuhen's Face from a second ago instantly froze!

In the next second, his body began to split open starting from between his eyebrows.

A thin line of blood spread all the way from his brow down his body.

Then, with a loud "boom," he exploded directly into two halves!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, all Devilish Qi dissipated without a trace!

The five Heavenly Demon Beads, which had not yet been thoroughly refined, lost the support of flesh and blood. After spinning wildly in the air a few times, they were crushed by the Sword Qi, turning into a sky full of smoke and clouds.

Vanishing into thin air!

Swoosh!

An exquisite, blood-colored Divine Soul suddenly appeared in the air—it was none other than Xue Wuhen's Primordial Spirit!

At this moment, he looked in the direction where the sword light had shot from with a Face full of terror, unable to understand how he had died!

Clearly, he was already in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!

Clearly, he was already the strongest on the continent!

But what on earth was this now?

He couldn't figure it out, but he would never have to think about it again!

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, a terrifying pressure of heaven and earth suddenly descended!

It firmly suppressed Xue Wuhen's Primordial Spirit in place, making him completely unable to move.

He roared in shock and anger, "Tongtian! You lied to me..."

"Bang!"

It was as if a blood-colored firework had exploded in the air.

Xue Wuhen, a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert, had died and his Dao was extinguished, suffering a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, without even seeing the Face of the person who struck!

With Xue Wuhen's demise, the Devilish Qi between heaven and earth was completely swept away!

Those clawing and roaring Devilish Qi Yao Beasts, deprived of the supply of Devilish Qi, instantly turned to ashes.

Chen Yan: "(Α⌒Α)"

He froze in place, his hands still maintaining the posture of being about to throw out a Talisman, but his expression was as disgusted as if he had swallowed ten thousand flies!

Wait, what?

What the hell is going on?!

I fucking spent ninety million Spirit Stones and was just about to show off big time, only to be intercepted by someone?

Damn it, if you were going to make a move, couldn't you have done it earlier!

I already took off my pants, and you show me this?

Do I not need Face?

The entire field was dead silent.

Everyone's brain short-circuited at this moment, their eyes collectively turning toward the Scripture Pavilion.

They saw an old man wearing a grey Daoist robe, holding a pot of sake, slowly strolling through the air.

Taiqing Sword Sect's Grand Elder, Supreme Elder Bai Buxing!

The same bad old man who, upon meeting Chen Yan for the first time, had rushed to play matchmaker for him!

Chen Yan watched resentfully as Supreme Elder Bai Buxing stole his spotlight in front of his Revered Master, and walked back to his Revered Master's side in indignation.

Supreme Elder Bai Buxing noticed his gaze, swept an eye over him, and his mouth twitched, but he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

He looked up at the sky and sighed softly, "In the end, it still cannot be avoided!"

With a "crack" in the sky, a golden rift split open!

A brilliant beam of Guiding Golden Light shone down from the rift, landing squarely on Supreme Elder Bai Buxing.

In the air, faint strains of immortal music drifted, seemingly cheering for something.

Looking at the golden light, Leng Qingshuang's expression changed slightly as she murmured softly, "Ascension Light..."

Ascension Light!

Above the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, once detected by the Immortal Realm, the Ascension Light would descend!

Within three days, one must undergo Ascension to the Immortal Realm!

As Supreme Elder Bai Buxing watched himself being marked by the golden light, the repulsive force of heaven and earth against him suddenly increased.

His Face was full of helplessness.

"Ascension! It's Ascension!"

On the square, someone was the first to shout this out, and then, all the Disciples boiled with excitement.

Ascension to the Immortal Realm!

How many people's dream was this!

To think they could actually witness their own Elder's Ascension with their own eyes today!

How fortunate!

Yet amidst the joyful atmosphere, only Su Wenjian and those few Peak Revered Masters who knew the secret of Ascension had their expressions change instantly!

"Grand Elder..."

Su Wenjian's eyes were filled with annoyance, "It is all because of our lack of strength that we forced the Grand Elder to expose his cultivation..."

"Enough!"

Supreme Elder Bai Buxing chuckled and turned to look at him, "This old man has hidden for so many years; it's about time I did something for the Sect!"

"If I didn't come out, could it be we should let those few old fogies in Death Seclusion come out instead?"

Su Wenjian's Face was full of bitterness, "Elder..."

Supreme Elder Bai Buxing looked at him, shook his head, and said, "You! Your talent is good, and your Heart-Nature is stable, but you are just too rigid!"

"You are good at maintaining the status quo, but you lack drive!"

With his hands behind his back, he glanced at Chen Yan and smiled, "Fortunately, your judgment is decent; you've scouted a good successor for the Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"Since you know the secret of this world, I advise you to let go early and plan a way out for yourself!"

Su Wenjian glanced at Chen Yan, who was currently hugging Leng Qingshuang and acting spoiled, and smiled bitterly, "But he has not yet grown..."

Supreme Elder Bai Buxing glared at him with disdain, "Pedantic!"

"That kid has only been at it for a few months and is already in the Soul Transformation Realm. If he uses all his means, slaying a Body Integration cultivator is not out of the question!"

"To what extent do you want to wait for him to grow? Mahayana? Or Tribulation Transcendence?"

Su Wenjian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but could not utter a word.

"Take care of yourself!"

Seeing this, Supreme Elder Bai Buxing said no more, turned around, and prepared to leave.

He took a few steps but suddenly stopped, turning his head to glance at Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang.

To be precise, he glanced at their hands clasped together.

His mouth twitched, once again feeling regret in his heart for his own unreasonable great-granddaughter.

"Fate, fate, fate~ Truly indescribably wonderful~~~"

With that, his entire being transformed into a streak of sword light, soaring straight into the clouds.

Before his Ascension, he had to demand justice for what the Taiqing Sword Sect had suffered today!

"Senior Brother, you shouldn't have done this..."

Among the people present, only Leng Qingshuang vaguely heard a word or two.

Senior Brother?

Meanwhile, Chen Yan was holding his Revered Master's hand, drawing circles in her palm.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he even dishonestly extended his devilish claws toward his Revered Master's soft waist.

"Revered Master's waist is so soft and tender. I'll just sneak a touch, just one!"

"Hehe~ How exciting~~~"

Feeling his movement, Leng Qingshuang's cheeks instantly flushed red.

She glared fiercely at Chen Yan and sent a voice transmission with a coquettish pout:

"In broad daylight, what are you doing? Where are you putting your hand?!"

"Revered Master~ Don't be shy~"

Chen Yan grinned, leaned close to her ear, and said in a lowered voice, "Aren't I comforting you?"

"What are you comforting me for?"

"With such a huge commotion just now, I was afraid you'd be frightened. See how considerate I am to you~"

"Bah! You Rebellious Disciple!"

Leng Qingshuang was almost amused to the point of laughter by his shamelessness.

She squeezed Chen Yan's hand hard and threatened in a low voice:

"If you mess around again, I'll punish you by making you kneel for three shichen when we go back!"

"Is it kneeling like how you, my Revered Master-wife, knelt before me last night?"

Whoosh!

Leng Qingshuang could no longer hold her composure!

Recalling their madness last night, her Face flushed completely red, and her heart beat wildly like tangled hemp.

"You! I'm ignoring you!"

"Oh! Wife, I was wrong! I won't mess around anymore! I'll be obedient!"

"Hmph! That's more like it..."

"Then when we go back in a bit, let's Cultivate together again~~~"

"Bah! Shut up!"

"Hehe~~~"

In a hidden Secret Realm tens of millions of miles away.

A figure clad in black stood before a water mirror of the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

In the water mirror, the scene of Xue Wuhen being slain by Supreme Elder Bai Buxing's single sword strike was playing!

Looking at Supreme Elder Bai Buxing being marked by the Ascension Light, the black-clad figure tapped his fingertips lightly on the tabletop beside him, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Bai, after all these years, you still don't understand me..."

He chuckled and shook his head, his tone carrying an indescribable flavor.

"Why are there no smart people in this world?"

"The whole world is drunk, and I alone am sober..."
