The Sword of Power

Chapter 14 - The Examination of the Court

The Outer Court Examination of the Sword Sect could be said to be a major event in Jing State. There were a total of nine states in the Great Qin Empire, and each state had several tens of thousands of cities within it. The Sword Sect was included within the scope of the Jing State. At that time, all the clan disciples in the nearby city and independent cultivators there would head to the Outer Court Examination. There were countless geniuses among them, so the difficulty of obtaining a top 10 position among all these people was obvious.

It is very difficult to get a position in the top 10, but there are advantages as well. Not only would one obtain rewards such as medicinal pills, talismans, and treasures from the sect, the Sword Sect would even emphasize on coaching the top 10, as well, causing the cultivation resources they obtained to far exceed the others.

Although natural talent was important, cultivation resources were even more important. Because no matter how great a genius might be, if one did not have sect coaching, then one would be reduced to trash as well!

Yang Ye's target was to be in the top 10. Other than to defend himself and Elder Qian, it was also for the sake of being appreciated by the sect. Liu Qingyu was already an expert in the Outer Court Rankings, so she must have been valued by the sect already. So, if Yang Ye was unable to make the sect appreciate him and surpass Liu Qingyu, then how could he take revenge on the Liu Clan?

When he thought of the Liu Clan and Liu Qingyu, a thread of cold light flashed in Yang Ye's eyes. No matter what, he was determined to make this clan pay the price.

Yang Ye suppressed the killing intent in his heart and took a deep breath. Afterwards, he headed to the training ground because he intended to ask Elder Qian about the situation in his home. Right now, he was most worried about the situation of his little sister and mother in Southpeace City!

"Junk! Stop right there!" As soon as he arrived at the training ground, Yang Ye was stopped by someone, and he frowned upon hearing this voice. When he turned around and saw the person speaking and saw the appearance of that person, a terrifying wisp of killing intent flashed in the depths of Yang Ye's eyes.

The one who stopped him was a man his age. The man had slanted brows, starry eyes, and a green robe fluttering, yet his face had a mocking smile. There were two green-robed men standing on each side of this man as well, and they were both Outer Court Disciples!

Yang Ye had never seen this man in the past, but he knew who this man was. This man in front of him must be Liu Qingyu.

There is a lot of Outside Court Disciple training on the training ground today. When they saw these five people blocking Yang Ye's path, many of them passed by and looked curiously at Yang Ye and the others.

I am Liu Qingyu. As she stared at Yang Ye's hostile gaze, Liu Qingyu held a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth as she said, "Yang Ye, that's, I truly never expected that you would truly become a Yang Ye, and you even surpassed two ranks to be defeated. Duan Jun's. Really surprise! "

When they heard Liu Qingyu, the few Outside Court Disciples nearby burst into a commotion, and then they looked at Liu Qingyu with slightly adorative gazes.

“Actually Liu Qingyu who is ranked 29th in the Outer Court Rankings. What was he doing here instead of training at the Seven Refinement Peak? ”

“An expert in Outer Court Rankings? Doesn't that mean he's already an expert in the First Heaven Realm? My god! A First Heaven Realm expert! That's about 16 or 17 years old! The Outer Court Rankings were truly abnormal! "

"I heard that some Inner Court Elders have already started to notice him, so once he enters the Inner Court, his future will be limitless!"

When he saw the look of worship these Outer Court Disciples shot at him, Lu Qingyu seemed to enjoy it a lot, and the proud expression on her face deepened.

As he looked at Liu Qingyu who was standing in front of him, Yang Ye took a deep breath and suppressed the killing intent in his heart before he said nonchalantly, "Are you done?"

Needless to say, Yang Ye's indifferent expression was completely disgusting to his enemy, and Liu Qingyu also hated him greatly. When he heard Yang Ye's words that practically ignored him and Yang Ye's carefree expression, Liu Qingyu's eyes narrowed. He seemed to have thought of something, and he smiled as he said, “Yang Ye, we could have been relatives. My father liked your mother while my sister liked your sister, this is a blessing for your whole family, yet you all do not know what is good for you…. ”

Yang Ye laughed with ridicule, and he interrupted Liu Qingyu and said, "Liu Qingyu, I like your mother, and I like all the women in your Liu Clan. Ask your mother and all the women in your Liu Clan to marry me, then can't we still be relatives? "

When they heard Yang Ye, the eyelids of all the Outer Court Disciples twitched. Because Liu Qingyu was a ranked expert at position 29 in the Outer Court Rankings! Although the sect members could only attack the others in the Life and Death Arena, Yang Ye seemed to be a bit too bold in their opinion.

Liu Qingyu's face sank while an imposing strand of aura surged explosively from his body. His finger pointed at Yang Ye while a strand of ferocious white-colored sword qi tore through the air, and it carried a sharp whistle as it shot fiercely towards Yang Ye.

He naturally realized clearly that he was unable to attack sect members anywhere other than the Life and Death Arena. However, the rules existed to restrain the weak, and he believed that even if he killed Yang Ye, the sect would not do anything to him. After all, he was already an expert of the First Heaven Realm, and Yang Ye was still a Disciple of Labor.

The sword qi strands were extremely fast, and the Outer Court Disciples nearby were practically unable to see those strands of sword qi and could only see flashes of white light in their field of vision.

By the time Liu Qingyu moved, Yang Ye felt a thread of vital energy locked onto her. At this moment, he felt that he was completely unable to dodge, and he could only forcefully break through Liu Qingyu's sword qi. However, that strand of sword qi was simply too fast, and it was simply not something he could avoid and react to now.

Right at this moment, Elder Qian suddenly appeared by Yang Ye's side. Elder Qian flicked his sleeve, causing a strand of strong wind to blow out, and then an explosion echoed as Liu Qingyu's strand of sword qi instantly scattered in the air.

“Liu Qingyu, according to the sect rules, other than in the Life and Death Arena, was forbidden to attack other sect members anywhere else. Have you forgotten?" Elder Qian looked at Liu Qingyu while his voice carried a hint of anger. Yang Ye had the Profound Energy of the five elements, and he would absolutely not let Yang Ye die in a place like this.

When she saw it was Elder Qian, Liu Qingyu's gaze flickered as she suppressed the killing intent in her heart, and she cupped her hands towards Elder Qian and said, “Elder Qian, the, Yang Ye humiliated my family members, so I only taught him a small lesson, and I have no other intentions! " Even though he was a little angry towards this old man, he did not dare to show it. After all, he was still an Outer Court Disciple now, and he was under the jurisdiction of the Outer Court Elders.

Elder Qian snorted coldly, yet he did not punish Liu Qingyu. Although Liu Qingyu was only an Outer Court Disciple, her natural talent was at the top in the Outer Court. Moreover, some Inner Court Elders had already started to notice him. Thus, Elder Qian was unable to punish Liu Qingyu for such a trivial matter.

“Because she is fine, then Qingyu will say goodbye now!” Liu Qingyu cupped her fists to Elder Qian before she turned around with the intention to leave.

However, Yang Ye spoke at this moment. "Wait…"

Liu Qingyu turned to look at Yang Ye, and a dense humiliation filled the corner of her mouth as she said, "What?"

Elder Qian frowned and was just about to say something when he saw Yang Ye walking in front of him. Yang Ye pointed towards Liu Qingyu and said, “Liu Qingyu, I know you want to kill me, and I will give you this opportunity. We will fight in the Life and Death Arena three months from now, do you dare? ” Since he stepped onto the path of Martial Dao, then he could only advance bravely, overcome all obstacles in his path, and become stronger without end. He had no way of retreating, and Yang Ye did not want to retreat. He wants to force himself!

When they heard Yang Ye, all the Outer Court Disciples in the surroundings gaped to the point that an egg could be pushed down their throats. A Labor Pupil challenging an Outer Court Pupil had caused the entire Outer Court to be shocked, yet now, the, This Labor disciple intended to challenge Liu Qingyu who was ranked 29th on the Outer Court Rankings and had reached the First Heaven Realm. Is this Worker Disciple trying to defy heaven?

"Ha…." After he recovered from his shock, Liu Qingyu burst into laughter, and when he saw Elder Qian intending to speak, he hurriedly said, “Alright, I agree. We will be fighting three months from now at the Life and Death Arena. Hope you don't disappoint me when the time comes! " As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed out loud, and then he left the others to leave quickly as if he was worried Elder Qian would stop him.

When he saw Liu Qingyu leave, Elder Qian sighed and said, “Yang Ye, you are too impulsive now. You are only at the sixth rank of the Mortal Realm now, and the distance between you and the First Heaven Realm expert is huge, huge! "

Yang Ye said in a low voice, "Elder Qian, I am aware. I pushed myself into a desperate situation to finally win the battle. He's trying to kill me now. Elder Qian, you are here this time, but will you be here next time? If Elder Qian is not here for the next time, and he kills me directly, will the sect punish him? No. gabe. Now that I have made a deal to fight him three months from now, he will definitely not move against me within these three months. This way, I still have a chance! ”

Elder Qian's lips moved, yet he did not say anything in the end. How could he not be aware of this? However, it was absolutely impossible for one to surpass the First Heaven Realm of the sixth rank of the Mortal Realm within three months. Even if Yang Ye had the five elements of Profound Energy, it would be impossible for him to achieve it within three months since it was really a little time!

After a moment of silence, Elder Qian patted Yang Ye on the shoulder and said, “Yang Tiny, I originally intended to publicly announce that you have the five elements of Profound Energy. But now it seems I can't. If I were to announce that you have the five elements of Profound Energy, then Liu Qingyu would absolutely not give you a chance to grow. Now, you can only work hard, work hard to let yourself have the strength to fight it. Understand?"

Yang Ye nodded. Maybe he wouldn't have had a chance in the past, but he had a small vortex now, he said, and he had the Energy Stone that Bao'er had given him and the Meridian Shield Pill that the Outer Court Elders had given him. She had the ability to try, and this time, it was not only for her mother and sister, but also for herself.

If he fought for it, then he would have a chance; and if not, then he would have no chance at all!

So, he would take the initiative to agree to fight in the Life and Death Arena, and he gave no way back at all!

“Go to cultivating comfortably. I have already traveled to Southpeace City, and I have warned the Liu Clan. They won't be looking for trouble with your family for now. Moreover, your sister and mother are very healthy, and they both miss you! " said Elder Qian.

Sister, mother!

When he heard these words, Yang Ye's stern expression revealed a speck of gentle smile. These two people were his beliefs, they were his motivation, and he could ignore any hardship and exhaustion for their sake!

After he said goodbye to Elder Qian, Yang Ye walked quickly towards the Cool Breeze Gorge.

At this moment, he desperately needed to gain strength.
