Yu Yayun had killed eleven core disciples in a row, and the murderous aura in her heart had almost worn out. Since her sect master asked her to come down, she naturally wouldn’t stay put on the stage.
But at this time, even if she wanted to come down, it wouldn’t be possible. Yu Yayun had killed eleven core disciples from other sects in a row. Moreover, they were all the most outstanding talents within their sects. If they let Yu Yayun go down like this, how could the six sects swallow it down?
If Rainbowfall Sword Sect truly had such strength, then they would have begrudgingly accepted it. But Rainbowfall Sword Sect wasn’t even a weak sect in their eyes. Yet, its disciple dared to kill the core disciples of other sects on the duelling platform.
“Go down? Did you start daydreaming? Today, if your Rainbowfall Sword Sect doesn’t give a proper explanation about your cheating, my Universal Development Sect would never stop here.” Bao Xuan said sharply.
The elders from other sects immediately echoed Bao Xuan’s words. Some even vocally supported Bao Xuan. Even those Eternal cultivators didn’t step in to hold them back. From this, everyone understood that they wanted to press Rainbowfall Sword Sect to admit to cheating and then punish Yu Yayun.
Rainbowfall Sword Sect was a sword cultivators’ sect. As a sword cultivators’ sect, the disciples naturally developed themselves like a sword and cultivated sword aura. Therefore, when Xian Chanxu suffered so much bullying for such a long time, he no longer could take it anymore and burst out.
Xian Chanxu also slapped the table and stood up, “Bao Xuan, you keep saying that my Rainbowfall Sword Sect cheated. When your other sect killed my Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s disciples, why didn’t I hear you raising any objections? My Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s Disciple Yu Yayun has a companion beast, so what’s wrong with it? Are cultivators not allowed to own a companion beast?”
Bao Xuan gave a cold snort, “If we all lend our sect’s companion beasts to our disciples, then what’s the use of battles between disciples?”
Xian Chanxu struggled to keep his anger in check before giving a cold reply, “Yu Yayun is my Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s proud disciple. I swear in the name of all the sect masters of my Rainbowfall Sword Sect that I have not given any companion beast to Yu Yayun. If I had lent my sect’s companion beasts to my disciples, I, Xian Chanxu, would never have said even half a bit of nonsense. Disciples on the duelling platform compete with their lives on the line. If your disciples can’t win then don’t try to find excuses. Your sects might do such things, but my Rainbowfall Sword Sect would never indulge in such practices.”
Bao Xuan turned silent for a while. If they had a Starry Sky Grade 7 demonic beast in their sect, they would have taken it out a long time ago. But none of the factions here had one. Moreover, was it easy to cultivate a Starry Sky Grade 7 demonic beast? Not to mention top-grade plant-type demonic creatures, it would be difficult to raise even an ordinary companion beast to such a level.
“Good…..” An old voice came and then an old man in grey robes landed in the main stage.
Xian Chanxu saw the old man and quickly bowed and paid his respects, “Disciple Xian Chanxu greets Elder Taoist Yu.”
This old man was the strongest Elder Taoist, Elder Yu Bo, in Rainbowfall Sword Sect. Only when Rainbowfall Sword Sect reached a dire situation with no way out, would he come out. Unfortunately, even if he came out, it would be of no help. A Life and Death cultivator, even at full-circle Life and Death Realm, couldn’t face off against several Eternal experts alone.
“Hehe, Yu Bo, even after secluding yourself for so many years, you didn’t make any progress at all. Your Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s disciple cheated with a Starry Sky Grade 7 companion beast, and you said yes[1]. Did you think you can deceive my Universal Development Sect?”
If one didn’t have comparable cultivation, then even having a spine would prove useless. This brocade-robed man was the Sect Master of Universal Development Sect, Lian Yan, with an early-stage Eterna cultivation. It was him who came looking for the array pattern, and he was also Liang Qiuqi’s master.
After suppressing Yu Bo with his imposing manner, Lian Yan said to Bao Xuan standing at his side. “Go and catch that cheating disciple and confiscate her things. Strip her naked and hang her at the edge of that platform as a warning to others.”
After Lian Yan said those words, the other Eternal cultivators regretted not thinking of it earlier. It was a Starry Sky Grade 7 Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King, one you obtained it, wouldn’t it mean improving your strength to a whole new level?
Xian Chanxu and Yu Bo’s complexions changed drastically. Once these bastards stripped Yu Yayun naked and hung her up, it would also mean stripping Rainbowfall Sword Sect naked. It would no longer have any standing in Sifting Forest Star. The two wanted to stop it immediately. However, the cultivation of the two, despite being good, couldn’t match any of the Eternal cultivators in this place.
Bao Xuan was already itching for action. He had wanted to do it a long time ago, but his Sect Master hadn’t said anything. Now that the Sect Master has announced it, he immediately stepped into the air before raising his hands to grab Yu Yayun on the duelling platform. He even spoke with anger, “The duelling platform is a fair and just place for duelling between people. You used the sect’s guardian companion beast to cheat. Since you like breaking the laws so much, I have to uphold justice for everyone else.”
As the powerful imposing manner came crashing down. Yu Yayun, as an Undead cultivator, couldn’t even breathe. Moreover, under the suppression of such a powerful imposing manner, even Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King couldn’t break free.
Yu Yayun subconsciously wanted to look at Ning Cheng; however, she couldn’t even turn her neck, let alone stretch out her spiritual consciousness.
Just when Bao Xuan’s hand was about to grab Yu Yayun, his body suddenly stiffened. A terrifying suppression descended over him, and even his domain tore apart like a rotting rag. At this moment, he couldn’t even bring out his spiritual consciousness or circulate his celestial essence. The only thing that could move was his consciousness, which kept screaming ‘death’ within his mind. Bao Xuan’s eyes filled with panic. He wanted to yell, but couldn’t either.
Yu Yayun’s body loosened, and she saw a huge celestial essence handprint slowly stretch out. This handprint wrapped itself around Bao Xuan’s neck and lifted him.
It was the Senior Apprentice Brother who gave her the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan.
Yu Yayun realised it instantly, as intense surprise filled up her eyes. She knew that Bao Xuan was a very famous elder of Universal Development Sect and that he was a middle-stage Life and Death powerhouse. Yet, a formless celestial essence handprint had grabbed such a powerhouse by his neck. Just how powerful was this Senior Apprentice Brother from Graceful Star Mainland? Thinking back to how she tried to advise this Senior Apprentice Brother to escape, would he even want to leave with such strength?
Sure enough, the disciples from Graceful Star Mainland were all mighty. Even Junior Apprentice Brother Rui Baishan, who Sect Master had brought back a few years ago, was also very strong. Now this Senior Apprentice Brother was even more powerful. No wonder their ancestor could establish the Rainbowfall Sword Sect in the starry sky, as that ancestor also came from the Graceful Star Mainland.
As the huge celestial essence handprint grabbed Bao Xuan by his neck and lifted him, Bao Xuan couldn’t even put up a resistance. In the air, he was like a frog gasping for air while his hands and legs flailed weakly in the air.
The horrific sight immediately shocked everyone on the public square and the main stage. All the elders and sect masters seated on the main stage stood up one after another. At this moment, the domain suppression that chained Xian Chanxu and Yu Bo also opened up.
Ning Cheng casually stepped through the air and onto the duelling platform before looking at Bao Xuan who slowly floated towards him. Looking at him, he spoke with an ice-cold voice, “Did you just speak someth
ing about being fair and just? You’re a cultivator in the Life and Death Realm, yet want to deal with a cultivator in the Undead Realm. Do you call this fairness? Do you still have any face, or are you someone truly shameless? Who stipulated that disciples can’t use their companion beasts, talismans, or other methods at their disposal on the duelling platform? Don’t come here if you don’t have the guts to handle embarrassment, you disgusting piece of thrash…..”
As soon as the celestial essence handprint increased its pressure, Bao Xuan suspended in the air exploded into a mist of blood and disappeared without a trace. Only a ring remained of Bao Xuan, which slowly floated towards Yu Yayun. Yu Yayun then heard Nong Cheng’s words, “This ring should ease your shock a bit.”
Yu Yayun bowed in surprise and said, “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother.” She stretched out her hand and put the ring away.
A ring of a Life and Death powerhouse, just how many good things would it contain? Seeing Yu Yayun put away the ring of a Life and Death cultivator, the people on the sword stone felt envy and jealousy growing within them.
“This Dao Friend, this is an internal matter of our seven sects. You intervened in our seven sect’s internal matter. Even killed my Universal Development Sect’s Life and Death elder, isn’t it a bit too unreasonable?” The Universal Development Sect’s Sect Master had an ugly look over his face. Standing up, he could feel that Ning Cheng was also an Eternal powerhouse, but a far stronger one than him.
Ning Cheng stared at the Universal Development Sect’s Sect Master in front of him with a cold gaze before asking directly. “Just now, didn’t you say something about stripping Yu Yayun naked and hang her up?”

“So what it was me? This Emperor Lian Yan is Universal Development Sect’s Sect Master…..” Lian Yan gave a cold snort. Even if he was only at the early-stage Eternal Realm, he was still an Eternal expert. No matter Ning Cheng’s power, it was still in the Eternal Realm. Since both were in the Eternal Realm, why talk like this? Besides, Ning Cheng had attacked and killed Bao Xuan the moment he came, immediately forming a link of hatred with his Universal Development Sect. As the Sect Master of Universal Development Sect, how could he show any weakness in front of Ning Cheng?
Ning Cheng didn’t answer Lian Yan’s words at all; instead, his domain surged out.
When Ning Cheng appeared in front of everyone and killed Bao Xuan, Lian Yan had immediately put up a guard against Ning Cheng. He had even fully deployed his domain around himself.
Unfortunately, although both were at the early-stage Eternal Realm, the difference between Ning Cheng and Liang Yan’s strength was just too vast. The moment the two domain’s imposing manners clashed; Lian Yan’s domain cracked apart in an instant. Moreover, Lian Yan even lost his connection to the area around him.
Lian Yan initially didn’t feel too afraid of Ning Cheng as he thought that Ning Cheng would only be a bit stronger than him. However, he never expected Ning Cheng to show this level of power. Therefore, in panic, he quickly brought out a weapon.
But by the time Lian Yan’s weapon could activate, Ning Cheng’s Traceless Spear Pattern ripped through its dao charm-filled light rays.
Before Lian Yan could even react, Ning Cheng’s spear pattern had already locked on to him. The next moment, just like Bao Xuan, Ning Cheng picked him up like a helpless chicken.
“Neither Yi Jiufeng nor Qiao Jierui would dare call themselves emperors in front of me. Yet, an early-stage Eternal cultivator dares to address yourself as emperor in front of me?” Ning Cheng raised his hand while speaking and with a flick, threw Lian Yan onto the duelling platform. A few dozen array flags suddenly appeared around Lian Yan and immediately sealed his celestial essence. The next moment, Ning Cheng’s Entrapment Formation tore apart the trapped Lian Yan’s robes right in front of everyone.
Lian Yan immediately turned embarrassed and angry. As an Eternal-level powerhouse, when had he ever faced this much insult? As for his previous words of humiliating Yu Yayun, he naturally didn’t think anything wrong with it. In his eyes, Yu Yayun was just a puny Undead cultivator. Even if he stripped her naked and hanged her in full public display, it would have only counted as a warning. Yet, such a thing happened to him, an Eternal-level powerhouse.
As countless gazes stared at him, Lian Yan almost went crazy. He desperately burned his essence blood and even his life essence. However, he quickly discovered that although he couldn’t move, he could burn his essence blood, but could no longer control it. It would only lead to self-detonation.
Lian Yan’s heart immediately surged with regret and grief. From this, he understood that this person wanted to force him to blow himself up. His strength couldn’t match up to this person, and even if he didn’t blow himself up, this bastard wouldn’t let him go.
“Boom…..” In front of everyone’s gazes, Lian Yan’s body immediately exploded with a terrifying celestial essence explosion. He ultimately decided to take the path of self-destruction rather than humiliation, whether he wanted it or not. Besides, Ning Cheng’s Entrapment Formation was something he had arranged in haste. Therefore, the explosion resulting from Lian Yan’s self-detonation not only tore apart the Entrapment Formation it even blew apart the duelling platform. However, the Sword Stone Public Square remained intact, without even the slightest scratch.
An Eternal cultivator had chosen self-detonation, yet it only caused this much destruction. Everyone instantly understood that it was only because Ning Cheng had sealed a majority of Lian Yan’s celestial essence.
Ning Cheng had almost insta-killed the elder and sect master of Universal Development Sect. Seeing this, the experts from the other five sects stood up one after another, their expressions a little disturbed. They could tell that Ning Cheng’s strength far exceeded any of them, so strong that they couldn’t even dare raise any objections.
Eventually, a male cultivator with a pointed face and short hair cautiously stepped forward and bowed to Ning Cheng. “We all just experienced Dao Friend’s strength. Since this Dao Friend knows Brother Jierui, then it means we’re all acquaintances. But Dao Friend, as an expert at your level, isn’t it too much for you to indiscriminately intervene in matters between sects of Sifting Forest Star? Of course, I’m just an early-stage Eternal cultivator, and Dao Friend can kill me at will, but I had to say this.”
This person was Sect Master Qu Xusheng of Void Border Gate, and also a cultivator at the early-stage Eternal Realm. All of Void Border Gate’s important core disciples had fallen in Rainbowfall Sword Sect. He wanted to destroy Rainbowfall Sword Sect down to its roots because of it. It’s just that he never expected a terrifying expert like Ning Cheng to show up here at such a critical time.
He called Qiao Jierui as ‘brother’, but that was nothing but gilding his face with gold. Even as a cultivator in the Eternal Realm, Qiao Jierui wouldn’t even glance at him. He only spoke those words because he had once talked to Qiao Jierui at a gathering.
Everyone who heard Qu Xusheng’s last sentence would have thought of it as a sign of weakness, but no one said anything at this time. They also understood that Qu Xusheng’s words were the only thing they could say that was still within reason.
That is, if you didn’t give them a reasonable explanation, then there was nothing for him to do here. But even if you had reason on your side, and even if you were Qiao Jierui, you can’t intervene in this kind of thing.
How could Ning Cheng not understand what Qu Xusheng meant? But he only glanced at Qu Xusheng before speaking u
p with disdain, “So, you’re familiar with Qiao Jierui?”
But before Qu Xusheng could speak up that he had only met Qiao Jierui once at a gathering, Ning Cheng followed. “The last time I went to Devil Domain, I taught him quite a satisfying lesson and cut off his arm. Would
you
like to help him out?”
Qu Xusheng felt his soul flying out of his body when he heard Ning Cheng’s words. He had thought that Ning Cheng was the same as him, and came into contact with Yi Jiufeng and Qiao Jierui in a gathering of powerhouses. Unexpectedly, Ning Cheng and Qiao Jierui had a grudge between them, and he even cut off Qiao Jierui’s arm. Moreover, it was even in Qiao Jierui’s home territory, the Devil Domain.
Shocked by Ning Cheng’s words, Qu Xusheng broke into cold sweats. He couldn’t even say a word, let alone move.
“Senior, this junior is Blue River Mountain’s Guang Ruotong. What Sect Master Qu means is that this is an internal matter of Sifting Forest Star’s sects. Even if Senior has heaven-defying cultivation, it wouldn’t be proper for you to intervene here.” An early-stage Life and Death female cultivator came forward and spoke with a humble posture.
Xian Chanxu sneered from the side, “Want to use reason now? Your six sects want to force my Rainbowfall Sword Sect to give up on the Rainbowfall Mystic Realm. How come no one amongst you talked about reason then? Bah!”
Xian Chanxu no longer had the demeanour of a Heaven Seated expert. After speaking, he even spat at them.
Then, he quickly came to Ning Cheng and knelt to the ground, “Many thanks, Senior for upholding justice. Otherwise, these shameless people would have taken over my Rainbowfall Sword Sect.”
Guang Ruotong’s face turned red but didn’t speak anymore. What Xian Chanxu said was a fact, they had come here to take over Rainbowfall Sword Sect’s mystic realm by force. But since Ning Cheng showed up, they had no choice but to take the side of reason.
