Chapter 170 – Fame (1/2)

“A disciple of the Sword Sect slaughtered King Realm experts with a cultivation at the First Heaven Realm….”

“A disciple of the Sword Sect went head-on against a Spirit Realm expert with a cultivation at the First Heaven Realm….”

“A disciple of the Sword Sect….”

”....”

Yang Ye made a name for himself through the battle at the entrance to the city. At this moment, Yang Ye’s name was spreading through the Imperial Capital like a disease, and all the young geniuses partic.i.p.ating in the Ascension Rankings started to inquire about Yang Ye.

He’d killed a King Realm expert while at the First Heaven Realm, and he’d even done it at a place like the Imperial Capital. This caused countless people to feel extremely curious about Yang Ye’s ident.i.ty and strength. As for going against a Spirit Realm expert, besides those people that were at the city entrance at that time, most people didn’t believe it. After all, it was too unbelievable!

Even though Yang Ye’s reputation had surpa.s.sed all the members of the Origin School except Yuan Tong, the Origin School, the two palaces, and the Grand Qin Empire didn’t list him amongst the list of dangerous partic.i.p.ants in the Ascension Rankings.

One could really be considered a genius in the southern territory by killing at King Realm expert while at the First Heaven Realm, but when it came to six great powers and especially the colossi like the Origin School and the two palaces, one was merely a genius but wasn’t worthy of being paid attention to. After all, there were plenty of geniuses in their sects that could surmount their realms of cultivation to do battle!

The Origin School and the two palaces didn’t take him seriously, but the Ghost Sect and Brightmoon Sect had no choice but to do so. Especially the Ghost Sect. The appearance of another genius within the Sword Sect that could kill a King Realm expert was undoubtedly not a piece of good news for them!

In an underground room at the south of the capital, Kugu tossed the scroll in his hand onto the stone table, and then he glanced at Xiu Luo and the man by Xiu Luo’s side. He said, “Yang Ye, from South Peace City. He joined the sword sect at the age of 16, yet for some unknown reason, he was unable to absorb profound energy and was reduced to a Labor Disciple by an Outer Court Elder. However, two years later, no one knows what fortuitous encounter he obtained but he’d suddenly become a Profounder. Moreover, he’d ascended to the 22nd level of the Sword Sect’s Sword Servant PaG.o.da. The 22nd level! In the last few hundred years, only Daoist Zui has been able to ascend to the 22nd level! Xiu Luo, Xianjun, what do both of you think?”

A wisp of disdain arose on the corners of Xiu Luo’s mouth, and he said, “So what if he has ascended to the 22nd level? Besides that demonic woman, Murong Yao, the other members of the Sword Sect are nothing, including Yang Ye. He killed a King Realm expert while at the First heaven Realm? Which genius that ascended to the top 50 of the Ascension Rankings isn’t able to accomplish that?”

Kugu looked at the young man called Xianjun who was at Xiu Luo’s side.

When he saw Kugu look at him, the young man’s eyelids twitched slightly before he said, “He’s not simple at all!”

Kugu nodded slightly when he heard this. However, Xiu Luo frowned while a wisp of displeasure flashed in his eyes as he said, “Senior Brother, I didn’t notice anything special about him!”

Xianjun glanced at Xiu Luo before he said, “Don’t think that you can look down upon other geniuses just because you’ve comprehended Slaughter Intent. It’s best to keep a low profile when you don’t possess absolute strength, or you might not even know how you died!”

Xiu Luo was just about to refute Xianjun when Kugu said, “What Xianjun said is correct. Xiu Luo, Yang Ye isn’t simple indeed. It’s not because of his ability to kill a King Realm expert, and it’s because of his accomplishments in the Sword Servant PaG.o.da! Do you know what resides in the 21st level of the Sword Servant PaG.o.da in the Sword Sect? It’s a King Rank Darkbeast that had attained such a cultivation without relying on any external a.s.sistance. Were you able to resist such a Darkbeast half a year ago?”

Xiu Luo’s eyelids twitched. Even though he hadn’t comprehended Slaughter Intent half a year ago, his strength was extremely formidable as well. But if he had to go against a King Rank Darkbeast, then he would still be slightly overestimating his strength….

“Even though he seemed to be very ordinary now!” Meanwhile, Xianjun said, “But my intuition tells me that he isn’t simple. However, he’s just not simple. He isn’t my opponent, and I’ll just kill him if I encounter him during the compet.i.tion.” Xianjun spoke in a casual and carefree manner.

Kugu shook his head and said, “If he’s just a disciple of the Sword Sect, then it’s fine to go ahead and kill him. But he has a Heaven Talisman Master standing behind him. If our Ghost Sect kills him, then we would definitely offend Lin Shan, and offending Lin Shan is truly unwise. If it isn’t necessary, then let him live if you encounter him during the compet.i.tion or rope him into our Ghost Sect instead!”

Xianjun frowned, but he still nodded and said, “Fine, I’ll spare his life.”

Kugu nodded and said, “What do you think about the Origin School’s Yuan Tong?”

Xianjun’s eyes narrowed as he said, “I just happen to intend to meet this super genius that’s said to be invincible in the First Heaven Realm….”

.......

The Flower Residence. It was a property owned by the Flower Palace within the Imperial Capital, and its disciples usually resided here.

At this moment, within a luxurious hall in the Flower Residence, Cai Feng put down a scroll that a disciple of the Flower Palace sent over earlier and said, “I never expected that Yang Ye would actually be able to kill a King Realm expert while at the First Heaven Realm. It looks like he can’t be allowed to continue growing, otherwise, he would definitely cause quite a bit of trouble for my Flower Palace. Even though my Flower Palace isn’t afraid of him, it’s better if we can reduce the trouble we face. Little Yue, kill him or cripple him if you encounter him during the Ascension Rankings, alright?”
