The master and disciple were at loggerheads!
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became more than ten times heavier.
At this moment, Ji Yaoyue suddenly cried out, "Since it's a wager, verbal promises are unreliable; we should make a Great Dao oath!"
Immediately, she arrogantly extended a finger and, with her True Essence, wrote a wager agreement in the air.
This was a Dao Contract that only Nascent Soul cultivators could perform; once both parties dripped their blood into it, it would merge with heaven and earth, witnessed by the Great Dao.
Any party daring to violate it would surely suffer a terrible backlash!
Ji Yaoyue sneered, and without hesitation, forced out a drop of blood and flicked it into the rippling contract.
"Wicked disciple, it's your turn!"
Ji Yaoyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Chen Xuan, unwilling to miss even the slightest expression on his face.
She eagerly anticipated Chen Xuan displaying struggle and fear.
But!
What Ji Yaoyue didn't expect was that she was met with Chen Xuan's head-thrown-back laughter...
"Hahahaha..."
Under everyone's stunned gaze, Chen Xuan laughed heartily, unrestrained and carefree, finally clutching his stomach and shedding tears, filled with immense bitterness!
This!
Was this the good Master he had respected for so many years?
Truly despicable, truly hypocritical!
And seeing this scene, Ji Yaoyue inexplicably became somewhat angry out of shame.
This wicked scoundrel, did he truly no longer care about their master-disciple relationship?
"Wicked disciple, what are you laughing at? Could it be that you regret it?" Ji Yaoyue feigned composure, sternly but inwardly weakly, she snapped.
Chen Xuan, however, gave a disdainful smile and responded with a cold, unhurried retort.
"I laugh because you are all blind and cannot recognize a True Dragon!"
"I laugh because the Haoran Sword Sect is full of deceivers who steal fame!"
"I laugh because in these past years... I truly was so foolish!"
Chen Xuan's mockery was like daggers, sharp and cutting!
"Impudent!"
Ji Yaoyue roared in fury, her eyes filled with icy coldness!
Elder Qing Shui and the others were even more enraged, shouting their reprimands one after another!
Even Li Yinglian's face was extremely unsightly, as if someone had forcibly stuffed a lump of feces into her mouth.
At this moment, Chen Xuan directly used a dagger to cut his index finger, and immediately, crimson blood seeped out.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Du Meng quickly shouted and flashed to stop Chen Xuan.
He earnestly said, "Xuan Ge, you don't have many chips left! There's no need to waste them all for the sake of winning an argument!"
However, Chen Xuan said without hesitation, "A man lives for a breath, a Buddha fights for an incense stick! This wager, I will sign it!"
Before he finished speaking, he fiercely flicked his palm!
Immediately, a string of blood splattered onto the Dao Contract and was quickly absorbed.
The scene was utterly silent!
The next moment, the Dao Contract split into two, transforming into two streams of light that merged into Chen Xuan and Ji Yaoyue's bodies.
"Heh heh!"
Ji Wushuang sneered, looking at Chen Xuan with the gaze one would reserve for an idiot.
He no longer pretended!
Because the wager was made, with the Great Dao as witness!
"Chen Xuan, you were merely wronged a little, yet you are so rude and presumptuous, forgetting even the basic respect for your Master! ... I, the Sect Master, am too disappointed in you!"
Li Yinglian flicked her sleeve and angrily flew away.
As she left with her angry rebuke, everyone else also departed from Jade Maiden Peak.
Dai Tao and a group of others laughed heartily, even openly saying sarcastic remarks like "You're finished" to Chen Xuan.
"Wicked disciple, just wait until the disciple recruitment assembly a month from now, and see how you can still argue!"
Ji Yaoyue's words were chillingly cold, making one shiver.
Then, she soared back to Jade Maiden Hall.
"Alas! ... Xuan Ge, why go through all this trouble?"
Du Meng sighed deeply, regrettably patting Chen Xuan's shoulder.
All the members of the Haoran Sword Sect left, many barely concealing their disdain... as if looking at a stray dog!
In their eyes, Chen Xuan, who had fallen out with Ji Yaoyue, was utterly foolish!
How could such a person have once been the Saint Son of the Haoran Sword Sect?
It was simply a disgrace to the sect!
However, Chen Xuan remained silent, only the corners of his mouth curving slightly upwards.
Like a blade!
A month from now?
I, Chen Xuan, will make you understand what it means to look down on others with dog's eyes!!!
...
At midnight, all was silent.
Under the moonlight, Xuan Hall seemed enveloped in a thin layer of white mist, adding a touch of sacredness.
Inside the secret chamber.
Chen Xuan was sitting cross-legged, guiding the brilliant golden light emanating from the awakened True Dragon Heart within him to repair his damaged dantian.
At a certain moment, the True Dragon Heart suddenly trembled, vibrating as if sensing something.
Immediately!
Chen Xuan's entire body was enveloped in a hazy golden light, and behind him, a majestic Five-Clawed Golden Dragon phantom appeared.
"Hm?"
Chen Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and he was horrified to find that the temperature in the entire secret chamber had plummeted, and thick ice crystals had formed on the floor and walls.
A figure, just like that, appeared out of thin air.
"Shattering the Void? A Tribulation Transcending Realm Grandmaster? Or someone with a spatial Great Divine Power can do that..."
Chen Xuan gasped, then immediately froze.
Standing before him was a red-dressed girl, enchantingly beautiful, captivatingly alluring!
Her exquisite features seemed like the Creator's masterpiece; her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her pair of long, narrow peach blossom eyes perfectly displayed the words 'charming but not vulgar,' her nose was beautifully sculpted, and her mouth was a cherry blossom.
She was so beautiful it was suffocating!
Most importantly, the red-dressed girl's flowing white hair cascaded down, and her tall figure reached one meter eighty-five, making her perfectly eye-level with Chen Xuan...
"Boom!"
The first time their eyes met, Chen Xuan felt his soul being heavily struck, and he couldn't help but feel some carnal thoughts.
Stunning! Exquisite! Shocking!
Who wouldn't be moved by such an ultimate, enchanting, white-haired beauty?
However, her body exuded a coldness like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, giving people a sense of aloofness that kept them a thousand miles away.
"Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? The strongest True Dragon Bloodline? You are clearly human... yet, this incredibly potent yang aura cannot be mistaken!"
The red-dressed girl spoke in confusion, her voice ethereal and clear, with a sense of otherworldliness.
The next second, her pair of peach blossom eyes became infinitely deep.
"Hiss! ..."
The moment Chen Xuan's eyes met the red-dressed girl's, he felt a terrifying sensation of falling into an abyss.
The next moment.
She smiled faintly, her beauty peerless!
"That's right! You are the man I've been looking for! Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Bingyan..."
"Tap tap tap..."
Bai Bingyan walked elegantly, getting closer and closer to Chen Xuan.
A cold wave surged, chilling to the bone!
She was actually barefoot, her delicate, snow-white feet, with each exquisite toe, crystal clear, like carved jade.
"Whoosh!"
Bai Bingyan raised her jade arm, her right hand tracing an elegant arc, gently lifting Chen Xuan's chin.
She gazed at him, very seriously!
"Miss Bai, what... what do you want to do?"
Chen Xuan stammered, feeling extremely flustered inside.
He felt an incredibly powerful yin aura from Bai Bingyan, concluding that she must be a Tribulation Transcending Realm Grandmaster!
One must know that the strongest Sect Master of the Haoran Sword Sect, Li Yinglian, was only at the late-stage Soul Transformation realm.
This woman could poke him to death with just one finger...
Bai Bingyan's delicate face flushed a faint peach when she heard his words.
She shyly spoke, "I came all this way to find you because I want to sleep with you... You're not allowed to refuse, okay?"
