Inner courtyard, in the small courtyard where Xiao Lin lives.
"Hey, you had a great time playing today. You almost scared me out of my little heart."
Xiao Lin said resentfully: "Next time you talk to the dean, can you think about it for a while before speaking?"
When Ye Qingchen said in public that he disagreed with the dean's arrangement, he was almost scared out of his mind.
Who did Ye Qingchen face before?
He's the dean of Xuanyu Academy!
He is extremely powerful and is the strongest being in Yunfeng City!
If he gets angry, he, the little Eighth Elder, will never be able to protect Ye Qingchen!
"Master, don't worry, I believe the dean is sensible."
Ye Qingchen said with a smile.
The dean had just agreed to his request without any hesitation. He already knew that this dean was not that kind of unreasonable old monster.
"Of course."
Xiao Lin said angrily.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin said: "During this period, you can just stay here and practice in peace and contentment."
"In one month, the 'Xuanyu Ranking Competition' will begin."
"Since you defeated Liu Juefeng today, I think we can at least be placed in seventh place when the time comes."
When he thought of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Lin's face again.
Ye Qingchen couldn't help being speechless, went straight into the room, and started practicing.
The other side of the inner courtyard.
In Wen Hengting's small courtyard.
Just as Wen Hengting arranged for Liu Juefeng, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He went over and opened the door.
A man wearing a blue and white robe with a smile on his face was standing outside the door.
"I've met the Seventh Elder."
The man smiles and salutes.
"It turns out to be Mengba."
Wen Hengting nodded and forced a smile.
Mengba is the fifth disciple on the inner court ranking list.
His master is the fifth elder of the inner courtyard!
"Exactly. I heard that Junior Brother Liu was seriously injured in a battle, so I wanted to come over and have a look."
Mengba said with a smile.
"That's okay, with you as my senior brother by his side, maybe he will feel better."
Wen Hengting smiled and said: "I happen to be going to the medicine garden to help him get medicine, and he will be troublesome for you during this time."
"Seventh Elder, please rest assured."
After watching Wen Hengting go away, Mengba pushed open Liu Juefeng's door and walked in.
Hearing the sound, Liu Juefeng, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
When he saw Mengba, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.
"Senior Brother Meng! Are you planning to help me?"
Mengba poured a glass of water for Liu Juefeng, sat next to Liu Juefeng, and handed the water to him.
Then he smiled and said: "Of course, you are my good junior brother. How could I, a senior brother, not come to help you?"
After a pause, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"I just don't know. How do you want senior brother to help you?"
Hearing this, Liu Juefeng's face showed a trace of cruelty.
"Of course I want him to die! The more miserable the death, the better!"
"Haha, it is not easy to kill people in Xuanyu Academy."
Mengba chuckled and said: "But if we can lure him out, then things will be much easier to handle."
Hearing this, Liu Juefeng was shocked: "Brother, please make it clear!"
"I have investigated the origin of that guy clearly. He is a young boy from Yunjiang City."
"He has a relative named Ye Xiong, who currently works at the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce in Yunjiang City."
"It is said that that guy regards Ye Xiong as his bottom line. Anyone who dares to touch it will suffer his thunderous wrath."
Mengba said with a smile: "We just need to spread the word and say that the Yuan Chamber of Commerce has encountered a crisis that day. He is concerned about Ye Xiong's safety and will definitely leave Xuanyu College."
"At that time...his life and death will be in our hands."
After Meng Ba finished speaking, Liu Juefeng laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Senior brother is still smarter! Cough cough cough!"
As soon as he grinned, the injuries in his body suddenly started to hurt, causing him to cough a few times.
"Okay, just take a good rest here."
Mengba smiled lightly and said: "In order to ensure the success of this matter, I plan to ask the 'Youxia Pavilion' to take action!"
"Youzha Pavilion?! Is it that famous killer organization?!"
Liu Juefeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Yousha Pavilion is a notorious killer organization in Yanyun.
It is said that as long as they are targeting the target, they will never miss it!
"Yes, as long as they can afford enough gold coins, they will take any order... no matter who the target is!"
Mengba sneered and said: "Asking Yousha Pavilion to take action can be regarded as a sign of respect for that boy."
Liu Juefeng laughed and said: "As expected of you, senior brother. After this is done, when I recover from my injury, I will invite senior brother to take a walk around the Qiongyu Tower!"
Qiongyu Tower is the most famous brothel in Yunfeng City.
Mengba smiled faintly and said, "Then I have to look forward to it."
After bidding farewell to Liu Juefeng, Mengba left the room.
He looked in the direction of Ye Qingchen, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Since your appearance has threatened my interests, I have no choice but to find a way... to completely eliminate you!"
————————
Fifteen days later.
Ye Qingchen closed her eyes and sat cross-legged in the room.
After a long while, he exhaled and opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue appearing between his brows.
For the past fifteen days, he has been practicing frantically with the shadows in the Jade Sword Space.
If anyone else were to fight with such intensity, they would definitely not be able to bear it.
Even though he was very familiar with this type of sparring, he was still a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, his gains were still great.
After these fifteen days of sparring with Shadow, his control over the Yucang Sword has been basically the same as when he controlled the Xuan Yun Sword, and he has reached the point where he can use his fingers like an arm.
In addition, he also successfully comprehended the third level of the [Mist Dragon Transformation Codex].
This realm is called - [The Mist Corrodes the Soul].
It is a state-of-the-art technique specifically targeting the soul.
It can be used to attack the enemy's soul, or it can be used to forcibly search for memories from the opponent's soul.
Quite domineering!
As for the third sword move of "Yu Cang Tian Sword Sutra", he has not been able to practice it.
But based on his understanding of the third sword move, he must be able to understand it before the Xuan Yu ranking match comes.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Xiao Lin's voice sounded outside.
"Ye Qingchen, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Ye Qingchen stood up, opened the door, and saw Xiao Lin standing outside.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Ye Qingchen looked confused.
Normally, Xiao Lin would not disturb him while he was practicing.
What's more, he is training to prepare for the Xuanyu ranking competition.
Xiao Lin looked solemn and said:
"I went out a few days ago and happened to hear some news about the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce in Yunjiang City."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Qingchen was shocked.
"What happened to Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?"
He has not forgotten that Uncle Xiong is still in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce!
Xiao Lin said calmly: "There are rumors that the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce seems to have been attacked."
Attack?!
Ye Qingchen's heart skipped a beat.
"I tried to contact Hu Tianqing some time ago, but... there has been no reply."
Xiao Lin stared at Ye Qingchen: "I suspect something might really have happened over there..."
Ye Qingchen's face suddenly turned cold.
He said without hesitation: "I need to return to Yunjiang City immediately!"
"I knew you would be so anxious."
Xiao Lin sighed, he also knew that Ye Qingchen had a relative in the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.
And he is also an extremely important relative to him!
"If I hadn't been preparing with the other elders for the convening of Yingxing Pool, I wouldn't have bothered you, but would have gone to take a look in person."
Xiao Lin's face also looked very ugly.
But Ye Qingchen's face was still frighteningly cold.
Seeing Ye Qingchen like this, Xiao Lin suddenly clicked the bracelet on his wrist.
A ray of light flashed.
A beast that looked like a wild leopard appeared in front of Ye Qingchen.
"The name of this magical beast is 'Wind Soul Leopard'. It is my contracted magical beast. It is ranked lower than the fourth level. Its speed is unparalleled among the magical beasts of the same level."
Xiao Lin said: "I will let it take you to Yunjiang City... I hope it can be made in time."
Seeing Xiao Lin's complicated expression, Ye Qingchen suddenly clasped his fists and said:
"Master, please rest assured, I will definitely come back quickly before the Xuanyu ranking competition begins!"
He knew that Xiao Lin was afraid that he would not be able to participate in the Xuanyu ranking match in time.
Xiao Lin was startled, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that little guy like you could guess my thoughts."
"Okay, if that's the case, then go ahead and come back early."
Ye Qingchen nodded, stepped onto the Wind Soul Leopard, and quickly left the small courtyard under Xiao Lin's worried eyes.
Soon, his breath left the inner courtyard and also left Xiao Lin's perception range.
"I hope nothing really happens..."
Xiao Lin prayed in his heart.
day to noon.
Outside Yunfeng City.
Ye Qingchen sat astride the Wind Soul Leopard and looked into the distance with anxiety.
He simply couldn't imagine what would happen to Uncle Xiong if something happened to him.
At this moment, he wished that his cultivation level would skyrocket to the Sky Control Realm and fly directly to Yunjiang City.
Not long after, a forest appeared in front of him.
From time to time, the sounds of monsters can be heard in the forest.
Ye Qingchen ignored it and still urged the Wind Soul Leopard to run.
When the Wind Soul Leopard ran to the center of the forest, Ye Qingchen suddenly made a sound.
"stop!"
The Wind Soul Leopard stopped suddenly and looked at him with a pair of narrow scarlet eyes in confusion.
Ye Qingchen looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He said coldly: "Come out, if you continue to hide, you will be too cowardly."
The voice fell, but there was no response.
Ye Qingchen did not leave, but remained where he was.
After a while, a cold laughter suddenly sounded from the forest.
"Hehehe... As expected of a disciple of the inner court of Xuanyu Academy, his intuition is so sharp."
The cold laughter fell, and two mysterious men appeared in front of Ye Qingchen's eyes, one wearing a black robe and the other wearing a white robe.
When he saw the distinctive symbols on their respective robes, Ye Qingchen's pupils shrank slightly.
"Are you from Yousha Pavilion?!"
"You have good eyesight, but unfortunately... you are going to die soon!"
One of the men in black robes sneered and suddenly disappeared in a strange way!
Chi!
A dark blade light passed through Ye Qingchen's body!
The figure of the man in black robe appeared behind Ye Qingchen!
"Tsk, it's really boring... I thought the disciples in the inner courtyard would at least have some decent reactions..."
The man in black robe slowly turned around, but suddenly found that Ye Qingchen had disappeared!
"Why is he missing?!"
The man in black robe had a sudden thought.
"Brother, be careful behind you!"
Another man in white robe suddenly spoke.
The face of the man in black robe changed slightly, and he dodged the pale sword light coming from behind!
"You...how can you be so fast?!"
The man in black robe was obviously surprised.
Ye Qingchen did not answer his words, and stared at them with cold eyes.
"Looking at you like this, you have been lying in wait here for a long time."
"So...it turns out that someone set a trap and was waiting for me to get into it."
"Oh, it's good to know."
The man in white robe sneered: "Now that you have no wings to fly, you'd better give up the useless resistance as soon as possible and die by our swords!"
After the words fell, powerful auras erupted from the white-robed man and the black-robed man at the same time.
They are all in the late stage of Star Gathering Realm!
Feeling the cold aura emanating from their bodies, the murderous aura in Ye Qingchen's eyes also burst out!
Clang!
A clanging sound.
Yucang Sword appeared in his hand.
He was holding Yucang Sword, with the sword pointed directly at the two people opposite him.
"I'm very angry now... Just use your death to calm my anger!"
