68: Ji Xuantian’s social death?

Ye Liuhuo and his group slowly walked up to Ji Xuantian.

“Alright, Ji Xuantian, it’s useless no matter how unwilling you are now.”

Zhou Hao, who had reverse-aged due to cultivating a special technique, crossed his arms and said naturally, “It’s not a pity that you lost to me, after all, my realm is higher than yours.”

The way he spoke made it sound as if, in his perception, Ji Xuantian’s strength was just that.

“Get lost!!”

Ji Xuantian roared furiously at Ye Liuhuo and the others, “This time I failed because I was too arrogant, it wasn’t my true strength!”

“When I’ve rested, let’s fight again!”

“Heh heh.”

The four people opposite chuckled.

“Sure, if you want to fight, I’m ready anytime.”

Having defeated Ji Xuantian once, Zhou Hao inevitably felt a sense of superiority. He crossed his arms, a light smile on his face, “But before that, shouldn’t you settle the stakes?”

Stakes!?

That’s right! I promised those stakes!

Ji Xuantian’s face changed drastically.

He scanned the countless pairs of gloating eyes around him, his heart filled with agony.

【You have been defeated. According to the agreement, you must hand over all external items on your person to the other party. You don’t want to do this, but with so many people watching you, after deep consideration, you decide to—】

【A: Hand it over and become the laughingstock of the world, and also lose the precious sword passed down by your master. Only a fool would hand it over.】

【B: Keep your promise.】

【C: Use a method that achieves both goals: give the items to the other party and immediately snatch them back.】

【D: Lie and say there were no stakes.】

“A and D are similar.”

“B is decent. Although it can make him lose face, if he even complies with taking off his clothes, it will instead highlight his excellent quality of keeping promises.”

“As for C, with his current strength, can he snatch it back?”

Lin Sheng ultimately chose C.

Facing the gaze of countless people, Ji Xuantian gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment on the spot. Finally, he nodded and said, “Okay! I’ll hand it over!”

He thought of a perfect solution.

Many people didn’t believe he would really hand it over, their eyes fixed on him.

Ji Xuantian first took off the storage ring on his hand and all the storage bags tied around his waist, then took off his earrings, and took off his boots and socks.

Then, in a state of anxiety and hesitation, he took off his clothes one by one in front of everyone.

“Take it off! Take it off! Take it off! Hahaha!”

“Wow! He actually took it off!!”

“He’s a tough guy!!”

The jeers, laughter, and exclamations of the surrounding crowd mixed together.

“No way!? Is he crazy? He didn’t have to take it off here. Couldn’t he have found a place to change clothes and then give his original clothes and items to the other party?”

“Maybe… he’s an exhibitionist!?”

“Holy cow! I saw a tiny chili pepper!!”

【Collapse Value +100!】

【Congratulations! You have left the label of “exposing his little brother” on Heavenly Mandated Protagonist Number 5, Ji Xuantian. Countless spies have already recorded precious images. After this incident, the whole world will have a deep impression of this man, and when they see him, they will think of his little brother.】

【Ji Xuantian has permanently lost the qualification to inherit the position of sect master of the Southern Spirit Sword Sect, and permanently lost the qualification to inherit the world’s number one immortal sword, “Asking Heaven,” in the future.】

【Successfully seized the Main Character’s opportunity: Immortal Sword “Asking Heaven”!】

【Additional reward: Collapse Value +100!】

Hearing the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Ji Xuantian, who was holding all his external items and extending his hands towards Zhou Hao, paused.

Why did he take them off on the spot?

He could have found a secluded place to change clothes?

His mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and he stood there dumbfounded.

【Collapse Value +20】

On the other side, Lin Sheng stroked his chin.

Although he was pleasantly surprised by such a gain, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

“I understand why exposing his little brother made him lose the future sect master qualification, but why would he lose the qualification to obtain the immortal sword?”

He knew that immortal swords choose their masters.

The only possibility he could think of was that the immortal sword disliked him.

Hmm… that’s quite reasonable.

Just as Lin Sheng roughly figured it out, another change occurred in the scene.

As soon as Zhou Hao received those “external items,” Ji Xuantian immediately tried to snatch them back.

But in his injured state, how could he be faster than Ye Liuhuo, whose spirit and energy were still at their peak? The latter immediately flashed in front of Zhou Hao.

“What are you doing!”

Ye Liuhuo shouted sternly, “These are the stakes you lost to Zhou Hao. Are you trying to snatch them back!?”

In fact, if he could, Ye Liuhuo really didn’t want to be so close to Ji Xuantian at this moment—there was only half a meter between them.

Anyone who didn't know...

would think he was going to do something to the naked Ji Xuantian.

Ji Xuantian’s mind was already filled with intense anger, unwillingness, and regret.

Hearing this, he said angrily, “I’ve already given them to him, they are his! What, I’m not allowed to snatch his things!?”

“Hmph! At least for now, I won’t allow it!”

Ye Liuhuo snorted coldly, then took out a set of his own clothes from his storage ring, “I’m embarrassed for you in your current state. I’ll give you these clothes, put them on quickly.”

Ji Xuantian still had some sense left and knew that with his own strength, he couldn’t snatch them back at all.

So he grabbed the clothes from Ye Liuhuo’s hand and turned to fly away from the area.

Looking at his departing back, Ye Liuhuo and the others had various expressions.

“Alas, it’s all because he was too arrogant.”

Ye Liuhuo was somewhat familiar with Ji Xuantian’s strength and personality. He turned back and patted Zhou Hao’s shoulder, saying earnestly, “You too, don’t get too complacent. His true strength is far from this.”

“Next time you encounter him, you really need to be careful.”

“I know.”

Zhou Hao held the pile of clothes, his expression particularly serious, “If he hadn’t been so arrogant, I wouldn’t have deliberately said things to provoke him. But if he had gone all out from the beginning, I might not have been his match.”

“I didn’t intend to take his things. I’ll return them to him later.”

He looked at the True Flame Sword, his eyes filled with deep anxiety.

The former sword of the world’s number one Sword Immortal, what virtue or ability did he have to possess it?

Seeing this.

Liu Qingxue, who was beside him, covered her mouth and chuckled, “If you’re afraid that the Nanling Sword God will pursue the matter, then you can rest assured.”

“The Nanling Sword God values promises the most in his life. You won these things fair and square. Not only will he not come to trouble you, but he will also strictly forbid Ji Xuantian from snatching them back.”

“No, no.”

Zhou Hao shook his head abruptly, “My strength is weak. This precious sword is a hot potato in my hands and will only bring me disaster. I want to return it to him.”

Seeing that his mind was made up, the others shook their heads and said no more.

In an elegant room in a certain inn in the distance.

“Alas.”

A green-haired old man wearing the robes of a Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect Elder stroked his beard and sighed, “What a pity, the Nanling Sword God’s successor. I originally wanted to invite him to the Immortal Sect as a guest.”

“Never mind, never mind…”
