Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 175 - Supreme Elder
Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Supreme Elder
Nie Yunxi’s face changed slightly.
Up to this moment, she thought her brother had already lost.
Whether in terms of resources or the help he gave to the two girls, Jiang Fan was beyond her brother’s reach.
It was impossible to poach those two junior sisters.
Giving up was the wise decision.
Fighting any further would be too costly.
...
After all, no matter how you say it, Jiang Fan was the Sect Master’s disciple.
Coming to Heavenly Sword Peak and getting injured wouldn’t be justifiable.
“Yunzhuo, stop messing around!”
Nie Yunxi scolded, “Come with me!”
However, Nie Yunzhuo had already made a harsh statement in public.
He was already in a difficult position to withdraw.
“Don’t worry! I’m not going to do anything serious to him!”
Nie Yunzhuo shook off her hand and glared at Jiang Fan fiercely, “What, scared?”
“If you’re scared, admit it and get out of Heavenly Sword Peak!”
“You’re not welcome here!”
Xu Youran and Chen Silin glared angrily.

Their disgust for Nie Yunzhuo reached its peak.
“Nie Yunzhuo!” Xu Youran bit her silver teeth, saying, “It’s you who should leave!”
Chen Silin also stood in front of Jiang Fan, saying coldly, “If you want to bully my husband, you have to step over me first!”
Although they believed in Jiang Fan’s ability,
Nie Yunzhuo was a strong cultivator at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.
His strength was in the top thirty within the sect.
How could Jiang Fan compare?
Suddenly.
Both of their waists tightened, being embraced by Jiang Fan on the left and right.
He hugged the two beauties, smiling slightly, “I appreciate the kindness of my two wives.”
“But I don’t like hiding behind women.”
He raised his hand, looking at Nie Yunzhuo, “Then let’s have a duel.”
Huh?
Everyone felt greatly surprised.
Jiang Fan was known as a disciple without a Spirit Root, a renowned weakling.
Nie Yunzhuo was a prominent figure in the sect.
Comparing the two in a duel was like a warrior fighting a dog; what difference did it make?
How much courage had Jiang Fan summoned to dare accept the challenge?
“Is he trying to save face in front of beauties, forcing himself to accept?”
“He’s too young. At this time, he should bow his head and admit defeat, then seek revenge after becoming strong.”
Some felt regret, others took pleasure in his misfortune.
Seeing that it couldn’t be stopped, Nie Yunxi had no choice but to say, “You can duel, but stop before getting too serious, got it?”
“No problem!” Nie Yunzhuo smirked.
He hadn’t planned to seriously hurt Jiang Fan.
He just wanted to humiliate him severely in front of the two junior sisters!
To avenge the earlier humiliation!
Jiang Fan had no objections either.
Thus.
The group moved to a nearby arena.
To prevent the situation from escalating, Nie Yunxi dismissed all the onlookers.
Only a few of them remained on the scene.
Meanwhile.
Li Qingfeng was personally receiving an old white-haired man with a scruffy beard and tattered clothes.
“Supreme Elder, why have you suddenly returned?”
The white-haired old man in front of him was none other than Heavenly Sword Peak’s Supreme Elder, Shi Kaitian!
Unlike other Supreme Elders who guard critical places of the sect after retiring,
He freely roamed the world.
He had been gone for more than ten years.
“If I didn’t return, were you planning to end up in the Demon Beast Grave?”
Shi Kaitian’s temperament was fiery, and his words were never pleasant.
Li Qingfeng was used to it, and he emotionally said, “It’s fortunate that the Supreme Elder still remembers us disciples and grandchildren.”
Upon reaching the peak.
Seeing the changes everywhere, Shi Kaitian couldn’t help but ask, “How is Heavenly Sword Peak now?”
Li Qingfeng showed a look of shame.
“I am incompetent. Now, Heavenly Sword Peak ranks fifth among the Ten Peaks.”
When Shi Kaitian was around, Heavenly Sword Peak was in the top three.
After he took over, it had fallen by two places.
Upon hearing this, Shi Kaitian didn’t blame him, patting his shoulder, “It’s not your fault.”
“If anyone’s to blame, it’s me.”
“I’ve been wandering for so many years, unlike other Supreme Elders who stayed in the sect to protect their peaks.”
“You’ve done well not to be pushed to the bottom.”
These words touched Li Qingfeng deeply, making his eyes moist.
Only he knew the hardships Heavenly Sword Peak had endured over the years.
Resources being withheld, seeking help but finding none.
It was only through walking on thin ice that they made it this far.
“Rest assured, Supreme Elder, I’ve recently found two disciples with excellent aptitude by a stroke of luck.”
“Once they’re cultivated, they will surely support Heavenly Sword Peak and restore its former glory!”
Shi Kaitian was surprised, “Really?”
“Take me to see them. I want to see just how good their aptitude is.”
Suddenly.
They discovered a group of disciples gathered in front of a rockery in the distance.
Li Qingfeng looked at the time, realizing it was past mealtime.
His face sank, and he scolded, “Why aren’t you all cultivating? What are you doing here?”
The disciples scattered like frightened birds.
Only then did Li Qingfeng realize that through the cracks in the rockery, they could see a nearby arena.
Two people were dueling.
Shi Kaitian also saw it and became interested, “Oh? A duel between disciples on the peak?”
“Let’s take a look.”
Concerned about scaring them, the two did not reveal themselves.
They stood behind the rockery, observing through the cracks.
Upon seeing the two on the arena, Li Qingfeng’s expression turned strange, “Why is it Jiang Fan?”
Shi Kaitian asked, “Who is Jiang Fan?”
Li Qingfeng sighed, saying, “He’s the husband of those two female disciples standing in the corner, and a new disciple under Sect Master Liu.”
Shi Kaitian was surprised, “Then his aptitude must be excellent, right?”
“Liu Wuchen only narrowly won his position as Sect Master back then; he must have been constantly threatened by Feng Guchan over the years.”
“He should be sparing no effort in training his disciples.”
“Any disciple with even slightly inferior aptitude would not catch his eye.”
Li Qingfeng found it both funny and awkward.
He cupped his hands and said, “Supreme Elder, please clarify, Sect Master indeed has been constantly pressured by the Great Elder.”
“The disciples under the Sect Master are all elites.”
“However, Jiang Fan is an exception.”
“He is a disciple without a Spirit Root.”
Huh?
Shi Kaitian was puzzled, “Without a Spirit Root? Are you sure? Even if Liu Wuchen were out of his mind, he wouldn’t choose a disciple without a Spirit Root.”
Li Qingfeng said, “Although I don’t understand why the Sect Master accepted him as a disciple, he truly has no Spirit Root.”
“This has been confirmed by both the Detection Tower and myself; there is no mistake.”
This…
Shi Kaitian was equally baffled.
He pointed at Nie Yunzhuo, “Is that person from our peak?”
Li Qingfeng displayed a hint of pride, “Yes, he is one of my prized disciples, already at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.”
Shi Kaitian looked him over, nodding slowly, “At such an age to be at the Seventh Layer, indeed impressive, a fine prospect.”
“But why is Jiang Fan, a disciple without a Spirit Root, dueling with him?”
Li Qingfeng was also confused, “I don’t understand either.”
“From my interactions, he doesn’t seem foolish!”
“Dueling with Nie Yunzhuo is seeking suffering.”
After thinking about it.
Li Qingfeng said, “I’ll go stop them.”
“Though Jiang Fan has no future in the Martial Path, he treats my two female disciples well; he’s humble and polite.”
“There’s no need to watch him suffer.”
Just as he was about to reveal himself.
On the arena, the duel had already begun!
