Jiao Xie arrived at the secret meeting and acted arrogantly, questioning the plan for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. Wen Ping, disdaining Jiao Xie's behavior, left the meeting. Jiao Xie became enraged and accused Wen Ping and Si Haixian. Si Haixian defended Wen Ping, escalating the confrontation. As Jiao Xie continued to provoke, Wen Ping drew his sword, but Si Haixian intervened, begging Wen Ping not to kill him.

The sword that was initially intended to thrust forward suddenly stopped.

However.

It wasn’t the sword that ceased.

Si Haixian, who couldn’t even withstand one sword from Wen Ping during their last sparring match, wanted to stop Wen Ping’s sword with physical power, which was impossible. It was Wen Ping who voluntarily halted it.

Because Si Haixian disregarded his own safety to prevent Wen Ping from thrusting the sword.

If Wen Ping hadn’t stopped the sword just then, preventing the Cyan Lotus from blooming with Sword Intent, Si Haixian would either have lost a hand or taken the sword for Jiao Xie, facing death or injury.

"Are you crazy?"

Wen Ping looked at him speechlessly.

Si Haixian forced a bitter smile, still holding Wen Ping’s sword tightly, like a homeless beggar who hasn’t eaten in days gripping a drumstick he’s dreamt of. Unless killed, he wouldn’t let go!

"Who would use their hand to catch your sword if they weren’t crazy... I have a fear of swords, Wen Sect Leader, can you withdraw your sword?"

Wen Ping rolled his eyes at Si Haixian, "Can you be any more absurd? The sword is out of the sheath, can’t be withdrawn!"

Si Haixian replied helplessly, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Wen Sect Leader, can we sit down and talk things over? Trust me, I can solve it!"

Suddenly.

Before Wen Ping could dismiss Si Haixian, Jiao Xie angrily and arrogantly spoke to Si Haixian with his nostrils flaring, "Si Haixian, do you know what you’re doing?"

One question wasn’t enough; as he walked towards Si Haixian, he continued angrily, "As a Master of a Domain of You Country, not standing firm is one thing, but siding with a small sect force? Step aside, I want to see if he truly dares to act!"

"Dammit!"

Si Haixian turned and glared at Jiao Xie, suddenly feeling an impulse to stab him.

Knowing full well that Wen Ping’s sword was unstoppable, he still blocked it for Jiao Xie, nearly ruining his hands. This guy not only failed to appreciate the gesture but, like a mad dog, bit him instead.

If you bite, you bite; after all, you’re a dog, and biting is instinctive. But to provoke Wen Ping like a person whose brain has been squeezed by a door? Really never faced death?

Used to being powerful in the capital city for too long, really think people have to nod and bow to you outside the capital?

"See, your misplaced affection is showing. Or is your true intention to grab my sword and deliver it to Jiao Xie yourself?" Wen Ping’s earnest question rang in Si Haixian’s ear, further irritating him, almost making him want to take the sword.

But he couldn’t let go!

Once he let go, Wen Ping would truly dare to kill Jiao Xie.

True, Jiao Xie’s power might not match his own, but Jiao Xie was indeed Wuqi King’s Senior Disciple and a capital official. If Wen Ping killed him, the trouble would far exceed that of killing people from Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect.

Killing people from Zeming Palace and Thousand Crafts Sect amounts to a conflict, a strife among sects, which is allowed as healthy competition by You Country’s system.

But killing Jiao Xie would be a provocation against You Country!

"Wen Sect Leader, consider this a plea from me, Si Haixian, let it go this time." After begging Wen Ping, Si Haixian felt uncertain and immediately turned to Jiao Xie angrily, "Shut up!"

Other Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses immediately spoke up, urging Jiao Xie to stop talking, to let it go.

Of course, this wasn’t everything.

Others were also urging Wen Ping.

However, Wen Ping did not withdraw his sword, rather he restrained his joking mood, and any remaining smile vanished from his face.

Sword.

Impossible to withdraw!

"If he can survive my sword, he’s lucky."

After saying that.

Suddenly.

Five veins around Wen Ping’s body opened simultaneously!

Boom—

Five-leaf Cyan Lotus burst forth!

The sharp Sword Intent exploded from the sword body, surging to push Si Haixian’s hand away by an inch. Although it was just an inch, the moment Si Haixian’s hand was pushed away, the sword shot out.

Whoosh—

Cyan Lotus Sword’s First Form—Immortal’s Guidance!

The five-leaf Cyan Lotus paved the way, Sword Intent accompanied, lightning-fast charging towards Jiao Xie. At such a close distance, Jiao Xie had no time to react much, hurriedly opening his Meridian Gate, transforming Vein Qi into a Shield before him.

He never expected that Wen Ping would really dare!

Just a mere sect leader?

Why would he dare?

But this thought fleetingly passed, even briefer than a meteor’s trail across the night sky. Because replacing it was the trembling feeling the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent brought, a sudden surge of a death crisis.

No time to ponder why this sword brought a feeling of deathly trembling, Wen Ping’s sword was already pressing against his Vein Qi Shield, and within a breath, the shield cracked open.

Crack—

"Damn—"

Before Jiao Xie could finish the sentence, Wen Ping’s sword transformed into a cyan light, piercing through the Vein Qi Shield, entering Jiao Xie’s chest, with a streak of blood spraying out from his back.

"Senior Jiao Xie!"

"Senior Jiao Xie!"

Numerous Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses panicked, but before they could rush over, Jiao Xie twisted his waist and yelled in pain, clutching his chest as he fled through the roof, transformed into a dazzling escape from the Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Wen Ping frowned unintentionally, as he had compressed the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent into a point to avoid causing large-scale destruction in the Domain Lord’s Mansion, unexpectedly failing to kill Jiao Xie outright.

This was rather unexpected.

"Trying to escape?"

With a thought, Wen Ping made the sword intended to return to his hand transform into cyan light again, pursuing with a blooming Cyan Lotus.

The moment of chasing out the Domain Lord’s Mansion, one Cyan Lotus instantly became two, two became four, endlessly accumulating. Since Jiao Xie fled the Domain Lord’s Mansion, he no longer needed to hold back.
