Chapter 740: The Grand Competition Ends

"The sword is named Yin-Dang?"

"Yin-Dang?"

Jun Chuanxiong murmured the name of the sword, and his upright, square face seemed to take on the appearance of a theatrical mask.

First red, then blue, then green, then white, then black, then yellow.

A look of worldly disillusionment suddenly appeared on his face.

Clang!

Jun Chuanxiong suddenly drew his sword.

"Today, I shall purge the sect on behalf of my lineage of sword cultivators!"

"Heavenly Dipper Haoran Sword Art!"

Feeling that terrifying sword Qi, Ye Lin's expression changed wildly in an instant.

"No way, old man, are you for real?"

He immediately activated the Dance of Instantaneousness, stepped on the Heavenly Dipper Evasion Void Steps, and fled.

Jun Chuanxiong pursued him relentlessly.

Because Zheng Tongfei had set up a barrier, the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect did not know what had just happened.

As soon as they looked up, they saw Jun Chuanxiong attacking Ye Lin.

The disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect were all stunned; the shocks Ye Lin had brought them that day were simply too many.

As a disciple, being chased and hacked at by a Peak Master—this was likely the only time in the entire history of the Immortal Cloud Sect.

"Old Man Jun, stop chasing! I've already entered the top ten of the Nine Peaks Grand Competition; I'm supposed to represent the Immortal Cloud Sect at the Eastern Profound Sect Grand Competition!" Ye Lin hurriedly said.

"You still want to go to the Eastern Profound Sect Grand Competition? To take that damn Yin-Dang sword of yours and ruin the reputation of all sword cultivators?"

Jun Chuanxiong really wanted to hack Ye Lin to pieces now.

Yin-Dang sword—is that even a name a human could come up with?

Seeing Jun Chuanxiong in hot pursuit, Ye Lin had no choice but to change his strategy. He dove straight into the area where the most Immortal Cloud Sect disciples were gathered, then stopped running and stood his ground, his body as straight as a javelin.

He looked like a youth with a proud, unyielding spirit, stubbornly raising his head to look at Jun Chuanxiong.

"Peak Master! I know you are dissatisfied that I defeated your prized student, but I never expected that you would be willing to lose face and personally take action against me!"

"You are a Peak Master, and I am just a lowly inner-sect disciple. In terms of strength, I am certainly no match for you! But even so, I must shout with my weak voice that I will never bow my head!"

"I, Ye Lin, can die standing, but I will absolutely not live kneeling!"

As soon as Ye Lin said these words, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

The disciples didn't know the truth, and being led by Ye Lin, the public opinion shifted instantly.

"No way? Peak Master Jun usually looks so upright; can he really be jealous of talent?"

"What's so strange about that? Many people look decent on the surface but do sinister and dirty things behind people's backs!"

"That's true. I have a cousin who acts very serious and solemn, but behind people's backs, he calls every female cultivator he sees 'Mommy'."

The colors on Jun Chuanxiong's face became even more spectacular.

If he had just wanted to hack Ye Lin a couple of times to vent his anger earlier, now he truly wanted to hack Ye Lin to death!

"Go to hell!"

Jun Chuanxiong picked up his sword to strike Ye Lin, but at this moment, several other Peak Masters rushed over to hold him back.

"Jun Chuanxiong, calm down! Impulsiveness is the devil!"

"Yes, yes, although Yin-Dang sword doesn't sound very good, it's still better than 'That Night I Had to Spend with the Sect Master', right?"

"Think on the bright side, be strong!"

Jun Chuanxiong struggled vigorously.

"Calm down! How am I supposed to calm down?"

When the No-Life Sword was in his hands, he had cherished it like a treasure, but the moment it reached Ye Lin, it was immediately renamed Yin-Dang, which made Jun Chuanxiong furious.

One must know that for a sword cultivator, a good sword is comparable to a peerless beauty.

This is like buying a bicycle; when you own this bicycle, you treat it with the utmost respect, are completely doting, and would even pluck the stars from the sky for it, treasuring it beyond measure.

But after selling it, the next owner of the bicycle immediately chains it up with a dog leash, and not only does he ride it standing up, but he also calls his good brothers over to ride it together.

Who could stand that?

"Ye Lin, I warn you, that sword is called No-Life! If you dare to change its name again, I will hunt you down even to the ends of the earth!" Jun Chuanxiong roared like thunder.

The other Peak Masters also sent voice transmissions to Ye Lin, telling him not to provoke Jun Chuanxiong any further.

Many sword cultivators are single-minded; if they get truly angry, they really will kill people.

Seeing this, Ye Lin could only nod reluctantly.

No-Life Sword—a sword that leaves no life—the name is imposing enough, but how is he supposed to use it to ambush others now?

Seeing that Ye Lin would no longer rename the No-Life Sword, Jun Chuanxiong finally calmed down a little.

Under the comfort of the other Peak Masters, he returned to his original position, albeit unwillingly.

And with Ye Lin defeating Zhou Yanyan, he successfully entered the top ten of the Immortal Cloud Sect.

In the subsequent arena matches, Ye Lin conceded every single one.

As long as he wasn't challenged and defeated, he could steadily secure his spot for the Eastern Profound Sect Grand Competition; what else was there to fight for?

And Ye Lin's worries were clearly a bit overblown.

Any disciple who had just watched his battle with Zhou Yanyan would not be stupid enough to truly think he was a soft persimmon.

Therefore, no disciples chose to challenge Ye Lin, and Ye Lin's final ranking was locked at ninth place.

It is worth mentioning that the first place of the previous Nine Peaks Grand Competition was Nie Tianyuan, the personal disciple of the Nufeng Peak Master.

And the first place of this session became Xu Lingxuan of the Force Peak!

Nie Tianyuan settled for second place; the battle between the two was extremely brilliant, but in the end, Xu Lingxuan successfully won, blasting Nie Tianyuan off the arena with a violent punch. The power of the punch was like a vast ocean, leaving many Immortal Cloud Sect disciples with boiling blood.

With this, the Nine Peaks Grand Competition finally came to an end.

What everyone found a pity was that they couldn't continue to see Ye Lin take action.

After all, he was the possessor of a Forbidden Spirit Root.

After the Nine Peaks Grand Competition ended, the next thing to prepare for was the Eastern Profound Sect Grand Competition.

The nine Peak Masters and the elders would join forces to conduct special training for the top ten of the Nine Peaks Grand Competition, improving their strength as much as possible before the Eastern Profound Sect Grand Competition began.

Ye Lin naturally had no interest in this.

There was still the Thousand Red Cave forbidden area in the Joyous Sect he hadn't visited yet. Judging from the exploration of the Reincarnation Heart-Breaking Well forbidden area, the strength improvement brought by exploring forbidden areas was definitely faster than special training.

What's more, he had already learned almost all the skills of the nine Peak Masters.

Ye Lin immediately wanted to leave behind a clone and head straight to the Joyous Sect with his main body.

But just as Ye Lin was preparing to leave, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived at his cave dwelling.

A woman who was like a flower on a high ridge, only to be admired from afar and not to be profaned, appeared before Ye Lin.

Her spirit was like autumn water, her bones like jade; her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows like willow leaves.

Under the moonlight, this woman added a touch of holiness, beautiful enough to be suffocating.

But Ye Lin dared not act presumptuously in front of her and hurriedly bowed.

"Disciple Ye Lin, greets the Sect Master!"
