609: Chapter 609 Are You Ready to Die?
“You two have already been expelled by our master from the sect, and are no longer elders of our Taiyi Sect.
This is a matter for the Taiyi Sect, when has it ever been your place to point fingers and give orders?”
Shen Yi’s voice was ice cold as she stared at the astonished Liu Yang and Guan Hui, not at all intimidated by them.
“Shen Yi, are you sure you’re talking to us?”
Liu Yang’s expression darkened as he stared at Shen Yi, unable to believe that the once young girl now dared to speak to them in such a tone.
The reason they had been expelled from the sect was precisely because of Shen Yi.
True Person of Taiyi wanted to pass the position of Sect Leader to Shen Yi, and naturally, they did not agree.
They wanted to support their own disciples to become the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect.
As a result, both of them ended up fighting with the True Person of Taiyi.
In the end, they were defeated by the True Person of Taiyi.
However, being a magnanimous person, the True Person of Taiyi did not kill them but merely expelled them from the sect.
“Hmph, as the acting Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect, what’s wrong with me saying these things to you?”
Shen Yi snorted coldly, with the longsword appearing in her hand, her aura climbing to its peak.
Nascent Soul Stage?
In an instant, everyone present was stunned!
When had Shen Yi’s cultivation level become so high?
Even Ye Ling and others were taken aback.
In their memory, although Shen Yi had inherited their master’s cultivation, it was only to the half-step Nascent Soul realm.
How had her cultivation directly advanced to the early Nascent Soul Stage after just one trip?
At this thought, Ye Ling turned his gaze toward the man who had entered with Shen Yi.
Suddenly, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.
It’s Mr.
Bai!
So it turns out that Shen Yi had gone to find Mr.
Bai on this trip.
However, even with Mr.
Bai’s arrival, with so many Nascent Soul Stage old monsters present, it probably wouldn’t make much difference.
“Alright, you can call the shots then.
We, the two brothers, will step aside and see how you intend to handle this as the leader!”
Liu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the longsword in Shen Yi’s hand with a trace of apprehension.
As his voice fell, he and Guan Hui stepped aside.
“Didn’t you want the disciples to spar?
As the acting Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect and a disciple of the sect, who wants to spar with me?
Or are you saying you don’t dare?”
Shen Yi swept a cold gaze over Liu Yang and the others, then turned her head to stare at Liang Chao, Shi Budong, and others.
Listening to Shen Yi’s words, the crowd quieted down significantly.
Which of these sect disciples could reach the Nascent Soul Stage?
You must know that once one cultivates to the Nascent Soul Stage, they can serve as an elder in any sect.
Even the senior sister of the Myriad Poison Sect currently is at the half-step Nascent Soul Stage at best.
However, what they failed to notice was that Xiao Mei’s gaze was not concerned with Shen Yi at all.
From the moment Shen Yi entered the hall, Xiao Mei’s eyes had been fixed on Bai Xiaofan.
Xiao Mei didn’t understand what business this guy had coming here.
Although she knew that with Bai Xiaofan’s cultivation level, defeating the early Nascent Soul Stage experts like Liang Cheng present was entirely possible.
But this place had more than just early Nascent Soul Stage experts; there were also three mid-Nascent Soul Stage experts.
Yes, Liang Chao, Huang Sanshi, and Shi Budong were all mid-Nascent Soul Stage superb experts.
Was he planning to fight against mid-Nascent Soul Stage experts?
Crazy!
“Shen Yi, you’re causing trouble.
Since you are the acting Sect Leader, we will send our disciples, as previously agreed, to spar with yours from the Taiyi Sect, but you cannot participate.
If you insist on participating, then don’t blame us old folks for bullying the young!”
The likes of Liang Chao had lived for decades; how could they be troubled by Shen Yi?
The few of them exchanged glances and then shouted to Shen Yi.
“Yes, and we should add one more condition to this duel.
If you lose, you must leave Tai Yi Sect and from then on, our four sects will take over!”
Shi Budong also voiced his agreement, his words as domineering as ever.
If Shen Yi did not participate, then the disciple with the highest cultivation level in Tai Yi Sect would be none other than Ye Ling, who was at the early stage of the Golden Core.
The cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Core was truly insignificant in the eyes of these old monsters before him.
To put it bluntly, if Shi Budong and the others wanted to kill Ye Ling, a single finger would suffice.
“Fine, I’ll fight you all.
Who will it be?”
Ye Ling knew this was their only choice at this moment.
Even if Shen Yi joined the fight, they would still lose miserably against several of these old monsters.
Thus, he stepped forward without hesitation, proudly facing the crowd before him.
Death, he did not fear!
He only feared dying without any meaning!
Plus, he had to protect Shen Yi and all his junior brothers and sisters behind him.
This was not ignorance, but the bearing of responsibility, the responsibility a man should carry!
Watching Ye Ling step forward, Shi Budong, Liang Chao, and the others laughed disdainfully.
“Who will go slaughter this junior at the early stage of Golden Core?”
Liang Chao spoke to the many disciples behind him.
Instantly, a group of people from the four sects stepped forward.
The disciples from these various sects were all at the mid-stage of the Golden Core.
“Lin An, you go.
Don’t waste time, just kill him with one sword strike, and show these ignorant people what it means to be a disciple of a great sect,” Shi Budong ordered a disciple behind him in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Lin An saluted Shi Budong with a fist and then approached Ye Ling amid the gazes of everyone present.
The crowd unconsciously cleared a space for the two of them to duel.
“Are you ready to die?”
Lin An looked at Ye Ling before him and said arrogantly.
He completely disregarded Ye Ling!
And indeed, there was no need to take an opponent at the early stage of Golden Core seriously.
“Stop the nonsense, come and fight!”
Ye Ling coldly stared at Lin An, feeling not fear but rather preemptively thrust his sword towards Lin An.
The more critical the moment, the less one could afford to show any sign of fear!
“Hmph, overestimating your capabilities!”
Seeing Ye Ling daring to attack first, Lin An pressed forward instead of retreating, stepping out with one foot, and without using a weapon, he slapped his palm towards Ye Ling’s chest.
If this palm strike landed, Ye Ling would be severely injured if not dead.
Nearly everyone thought Ye Ling would abandon his attack and dodge the incoming palm strike.
However, Ye Ling’s actions were beyond their expectations.
As if he had not seen the palm strike, Ye Ling resolutely continued his attack.
Thud!
The longsword pierced into Lin An’s left shoulder, and the tip emerged from his back.
Thump!
Lin An’s palm also landed on Ye Ling’s chest.
