Wasn’t that just giving them the perfect excuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue’er couldn’t bear to watch the man she admired be humiliated like this. She spoke out angrily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you speak like that? Do you have any idea who my Senior Brother Xiao—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sister Liu,\" Xiao Chen interrupted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had returned this time to prove himself with his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would not let anyone interfere in his personal matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave this to me. You don’t need to say anything more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Senior Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue’er didn’t speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Qiu was somewhat wary after hearing her call Xiao Chen ‘Senior Brother,’ guessing she might also be from Wendao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his mind, Xiao Chen was a mere servant-level disciple. Any girl he brought would probably be from the same level — just using the name of Wendao Academy to bluff them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for him, everyone here already knew what kind of miserable situation Xiao Chen had been in at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to scare them off with a name? Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a hand gesture, and the previously dispersed crowd once again surrounded Xiao Chen and Liu Yue’er. Even the residence guards stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Chen calmly said, \"If that’s how it is, don’t say I didn’t warn you. My sword can kill without a trace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Qiu burst out laughing. \"Sixth Prince, do you really think your secrets are foolproof? We’ve known everything for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men, seize this disobedient prince and bring him to the inner court. Let the Princess Consort deal with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that command, everyone drew their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them prepare for battle, Xiao Chen didn’t waste any more words. He drew his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash of sword light, the surrounding guards and servants froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, they collapsed like broken puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen hadn’t killed Steward Qiu — he simply stared coldly at him and said, \"Is there anyone else who wants to stop me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Qiu was already paralyzed with fear. Among those guards were Dao Foundation realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they’d all been slain with a single strike from Xiao Chen. That could only mean one thing — his cultivation had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over. I’m completely finished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to speak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furious shout echoed from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Audacious cur! How dare you attack people at the gate of my Ding Prince’s Residence! Prepare to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword light came crashing down from above. Xiao Chen turned and raised his hand, gently pointing a finger at the sword qi — instantly dissolving it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up in the sky—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heir, Xiao Shili, looked at the youth on the ground in shock. His face turned from bright to dark as he stared at someone who looked remarkably like himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he had deliberately brought sect elders and senior brothers to the residence as guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was to have one of the elders accept his younger brother as a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he arrived at the gates—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw this ruthless man kill the family’s guards and servants on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What infuriated him even more was that the other party was clearly younger than him — yet possessed a cultivation far stronger than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, he absolutely could not accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Shili, it seems this cur has some skill. Let me, your senior, take care of him,\" said a refined young man as he stepped forward with a cheerful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shili immediately stepped aside and respectfully said, \"I’ll trouble Senior Brother Zhao, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man nodded and looked down at Xiao Chen with arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember this, boy. The one who kills you is from the Shangqing Sword Sect—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not interested in hearing a weakling announce his name. If you don’t want to die, then get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen interrupted him coldly, not even giving him the chance to finish his so-called heroic introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhao didn’t expect this youth to be so dismissive. He was the strongest among the younger generation of the Shangqing Sword Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slashed his sword at Xiao Chen without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trivial tricks, and you dare show them off before me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen’s eyes flashed with contempt. With a casual motion, he raised his sword and flicked it lightly toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword qi not only shattered Zhao’s attack instantly, but the gleaming sword light continued toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\" shouted a Shangqing Sword Sect elder as he raised his sword in alarm, trying to intercept the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Xiao Chen’s sword was too fast. The elder couldn’t reach him in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhao felt nothing. Only a sudden dizziness — and then, in the next instant, he saw a headless corpse tumbling from the sky like a kite with its string cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled thud echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell over the entire scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the people from the Ding Prince’s Residence or the disciples of the Shangqing Sword Sect, all stood frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the disciples from Wendao Academy wore familiar, unsurprised expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen was invincible among his peers. Dealing with a minor character like that required almost no effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that mildly surprised them was that the Shangqing Sword Sect’s Heaven Origin Realm elder hadn’t managed to save his disciple in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You vile brat! You dared to kill my disciple — today, I’ll make you pay in blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder from the Shangqing Sword Sect roared and slashed his sword down toward Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen didn’t retreat — instead, he flew upward to meet the blow. With a calm swipe of his sword, he easily parried the attack, then looked at the elder indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heaven Origin Realm cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword Intent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of fear appeared on Elder Bai’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man before him was clearly only at the True Fate Realm, yet he had already grasped Sword Intent. That could only mean he came from an extraordinary background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who… are you really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen said plainly, \"Wendao Academy, Xiao Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wendao Academy?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps of shock echoed from the Shangqing Sword Sect’s disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Xiao Shili. He stared at Xiao Chen in disbelief — wasn’t it said that Xiao Chen had already become a cripple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was he not only perfectly fine, but even stronger than before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Bai’s expression turned incredibly ugly. To the Shangqing Sword Sect, Wendao Academy was an overwhelming colossus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget about a disciple being killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he himself were slain, the Shangqing Sword Sect wouldn’t dare seek revenge from Wendao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with so many of his disciples watching behind him, he couldn’t afford to appear weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… why did you kill my disciple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen said coldly, \"He interfered in my family matters and attacked me first. Am I wrong to kill him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, if you’re not convinced—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can fight me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>====================================================================================\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
