Sword Emperor

0At this moment, the outside world had undergone a great change as Sun Bing had expected. The originally dense crowd had become much more sparse. At a glance, one could see that at least an ordinary person had fallen in the Sword Tomb.    

    

After all, not every cultivator was like Sun Bing, who could easily cross realms and challenge others. To them, the final stage could even be said to be the simplest. However, the first few stages were truly difficult to break through. In the end, they had to pay a hefty price.    

    

Furthermore, although they would be able to leave smoothly every time they successfully broke through one of the stages... However, there was no lack of people among the crowd who were hoping for luck. They were truly overestimating their own abilities. Therefore, in the end, they could only die with hatred.    

    

At this moment, those who were still alive, regardless of whether it was their experience in fighting enemies or their cultivation level, all of them had a significant improvement. Even the momentum that was emitting from their bodies couldn't help but become even bigger.    

    

With just a glance, one could see that there were only a few ninth level of Qi Refining Stage warriors. But now, it seemed like there were a few more of them. All of them were cultivators who had just broken through to the Eighth Level Qi Refining.    

    

Every one of them had a satisfied smile on their faces. They were extremely satisfied with this trip to the Heavenly Abode, because some of them had even comprehended the secrets of the Reborn Stage. They believed that as long as they went back to their seclusion, they would be able to break through to the next level.    

    

And at the front of the crowd... There was a young figure that was even more conspicuous. It was Chu Peng, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. It seemed like he had obtained some great benefits in the Sword Tomb. Initially, he was only at the peak of the Eighth Level Qi Refining, but now, he had successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage.    

    

Although he didn't emit any momentum, the more terrifying it was, the more terrifying it was. It could even be said that even those cultivators who had been immersed in the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage for many years were no match for him.    

    

Not far away from Chu Peng, a beautiful figure stood there, looking at the beauty beside her. At this moment, Chu Peng couldn't help but smile. "It seems like she has fallen in the Sword Tomb. Truly disappointing."    

    

"I believe that she will never fall in such a place."    

    

Zhou Ling couldn't help but glare at him when she heard this. At this moment, her cultivation base had also advanced to the Qi Refining level 7. However, Zhou Ling didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement in her heart. There was even a trace of worry between her brows. From time to time, she would look at the Sword Tomb at the side.    

    

Zhou Ling was pretty clear about the dangers of the Sword Tomb. After all, she had only made it to the third stage. However, she was barely able to make it to the third stage under the siege of four Sword Soul. If it wasn't for Sun Bing's guidance on the Swords Arts, she wouldn't have been able to achieve such an achievement.    

    

It was precisely because she knew her own strength that Zhou Ling didn't continue to force her. She decisively left the Sword Tomb. At that time, it only took her a day, but she didn't leave just like that. Instead, she waited at the door for Sun Bing.    

    

However, as time passed, most of the people had already come out. They didn't find any trace of Sun Bing, even at this moment. Zhou Ling's heart was still filled with confidence towards Sun Bing. After all, she had personally witnessed how Sun Bing was able to cross the third level and kill his enemies. Therefore, this was a very difficult test for her, but it wasn't a big deal for Sun Bing.    

    

However, after another day, Chu Peng finally appeared slowly. At that time, he was covered in wounds all over his body. Seeing this, Zhou Ling finally had some worries in her heart. Without a doubt, it had become even more intense at this moment.    

    

"Is that so? I hope it is really as you have guessed. Speaking of which, what is your relationship with Sun Bing? Why are you so worried about him?" Chu Peng couldn't help but ask after agreeing.    

    

However, Zhou Ling didn't answer his question this time. Instead, she turned her head to look at the Sword Tomb at the side with a trace of concern between her brows.    

    

"Young Master Chu, I know about this. Sun Bing is the Guest Warrior of Zhou Family, and he has a close relationship with this girl." All of a sudden, an old man walked out from the crowd and answered Chu Peng's question with a smile.    

    

Zhou Ling couldn't help but look over and found that it was an old man from the City Lord's Mansion. His cultivation base had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, and this time, he was looking for an opportunity to enter the Paradise.    

    

She couldn't help but stare at him fiercely. Although she didn't say anything, she felt threatened by him.    

    

However, the old man wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Niece Zhou, I've watched you grow up. Since it's already like this, don't be stubborn. Why don't you tell me what you know? This way, young Master Chu might give you a way out. "    

    

"I don't know an old thing like you." Zhou Ling said coldly. If it wasn't for her lack of strength, she would have even wanted to kill this person.    

    

"Haha, not bad, not bad. A wise man knows when to act. This time, I came here to complete the mission of sect. In this way, I can read and write a report." Chu Peng couldn't help but laugh out loud.    

    

Zhou Ling wasn't surprised by this man's words. After all, she already knew Chu Peng's identity. He was an inner circle disciple of Clear Brilliance Fairyland, and his cultivation base had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage. He was only a step away from becoming a deacon.    

    

Not to mention the fact that this old man was merely a ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, even if he was a Reborn Stage warrior, he would still treat him with respect. After all, the Clear Brilliance Fairyland was the largest sect in the surrounding ten thousand miles. This wasn't something that could be explained.    

    

At this moment, Zhou Ling's mind couldn't help but recall what Sun Bing had told her. He had told her that the two of them wouldn't get involved in any critical situation. If it was before, Zhou Ling might not know what this meant. But now, she finally understood something.    

    

But in an instant, Zhou Ling's heart was filled with doubt. She really couldn't understand why Sun Bing had a connection with the Clear Brilliance Fairyland. Moreover, seeing Chu Peng's action and his killing intent towards Sun Bing made her even more confused.    

    

After waiting for a while, Chu Peng finally arrived. He was even getting impatient. Finally, he spoke slowly. "It has been five days. If the enemy hasn't come out, he should be dead by now. What a pity. This way, the mission of sect won't be completed. Since that's the case, let's leave now. "    

    

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Ling who was standing at the side. A thick smile emerged on his face and he immediately spoke. "As for you, you look pretty good. Just quietly be my maidservant."    

    

Upon hearing these humiliating words, Zhou Ling's face was filled with anger. After all, no matter how poor she was, she was still the heir of the Zhou Family. Now, she was actually reduced to being a maid. She couldn't help but want to resist.    

    

But before she could do anything, a faint voice sounded, "Before you resist, you better think about your family. Or rather, the entire Zhou Family. The crime of hiding criminals is not that easy to bear."    

    

Hearing this, the thought of resisting disappeared in an instant. However, her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer to her.    

    

"That's more like it. This way, I can protect your family." At this moment, Chu Peng smiled and walked slowly towards Zhou Ling. At the same time, he stretched out one of his hands as if he wanted to tease her.    

    

At this moment, Zhou Ling's heart was filled with hatred. She was even more furious than when she was forced by Han Li at the beginning, but she couldn't do anything about it.    

    

Just as her finger was about to touch Zhou Ling, a soft sound slowly appeared in everyone's ears. "I think you can stop now."
