the Sword Sect, wrapped in a barrier of spiritual energy, gave Xu Yuan a first impression of danger and oddity.

Two sword-like steep mountains stood opposite each other, shrouded in circling blue smoke and white mist, like chains or sheaths hiding the peaks, which looked more like giant swords than mountains.

Above the peaks, sword qi crisscrossed ceaselessly, exuding a sharpness that was piercing to the soul.

Xu Yuan knew that these two mountains were the Yin and Yang Twin Veins of the Sword Sect.

Rumor had it that these peaks were created by a great cultivator with inconceivable power, reaching millions of zhang high; disciples of the Sword Peak lived there, with their living places arranged from the highest to the lowest according to their cultivation levels.

Between the two Sword Peaks was a palace made of Liuli, which seemed transparent and crystalline.

But if one looked closely inside, they would be dazzled by the sparkling light, blinded to everything else.

This was the main hall of the Sword Peak, as well as the residence of the Sect Master.

It was said that the Sect Master of the Sword Peak could dismiss the Peak Masters of both branches, but to succeed the position, one must gain the recognition of the Peak Masters of both veins.

Therefore, the internal dynamics of the Sword Peak were intricate and unpredictable.

After they passed through the spiritual energy barrier with its detecting effect, Xu Yuan felt Liu Ruoxue secretly let out a sigh of relief, obviously still somewhat doubtful of his transformation.

"I will take you to your residence..."

Just as Liu Ruoxue was about to send a message, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Come to the Sword Peak to see me."

"Yes."

After giving Xu Yuan a look, Liu Ruoxue silently sighed and immediately turned to fly towards one of the mountains.

Xu Yuan heard nothing.

However, this confirmed one of his guesses.

In that Primordial Spirit True Person\'s eyes, except for Liu Ruoxue, everyone else seemed to be expendable.

Should I say this is typical of a Dao cultivator?

Xu Yuan felt somewhat moved; nonetheless, this was also good, as he had intended to use this opportunity to find a secluded place and draw another treasure.

The sweet spring from Lin Qingque had not only brought him a Dao Heart Demon Planting and healed his injuries but also many points.

Enough for him to open another treasure box.

The Ruyi Staff he drew last time, although not often used, had proven its usefulness.

This time, he didn\'t need some immensely powerful treasure, something practical would do.

Just as Xu Yuan was thinking this, when he landed at the height corresponding to his cultivation level on the Sword Peak as told by Liu Ruoxue, it drew some people\'s attention.

"Fang Yuan? You\'re back?"

Many exclaimed in surprise and turned their gazes behind him, as if expecting something.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Yuan\'s brows slightly furrowed; he could feel that the group of young girls before him held a layer of separation and alienation towards him.

In their words, there was a disdainful attitude as if they were looking down on him from a high place.

Interesting.

Xu Yuan suddenly changed his mind.

"Where are Liu and the other fellow disciples?"

A white-robed, round-faced girl with an unfriendly expression stepped forward from the crowd and asked.

"Liu has gone to report to the Master, and as for the others, they died,"

he said lightly, as if mentioning an insignificant matter.

"Dead? How is that possible? Ye and the others were cultivators at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, how could they die and yet you are still alive?"

The round-faced girl widened her eyes incredulously.

Xu Yuan stood atop the mountain, surveying his surroundings casually, "They were simply unlucky, that\'s all."

From below, the mountain seemed as straight as a sword, yet standing upon it now, one could feel its vastness, impossible to see its boundaries at a glance.

Before him, there was a small house built from thousand-year-old greenwood.

"You! You! Fang Yuan, how can you be so cold-hearted?"

"Not at all, I\'m merely stating a fact,"

Xu Yuan replied with a smile, nonchalantly.

"Isn\'t this what cultivation is all about? This isn\'t a game of house. In exterminating demons and monsters, how can there not be death?"

"You?!"

Many were dumbfounded, unable to imagine this was the same solitary and obstinate Fang Yuan they once knew.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Xu Yuan said, "Alright, if there\'s nothing else, I\'ll be leaving."

"Wait, before you haven\'t explained how Ye died, you are not allowed to leave."

"Oh?"

Watching the other party\'s hand resting on their wrist, Xu Yuan\'s eyes couldn\'t help but narrow slightly.

...

While discord arose among Xu Yuan\'s disciples from the Sword Sect, at another exceedingly high end of Sword Peak.

In a cottage within a sea of bamboo formed by purple bamboo, Liu Ruoxue watched a graceful figure behind the muslin curtain with an extremely complicated gaze.

"The mission failed?"

A suddenly cold voice, devoid of much emotion, sounded from behind the curtain.

"Yes, there were two young girls next to that Outer Domain Demon, not to be underestimated. Apart from me and Fang Yuan, all the others are dead."

Liu Ruoxue slightly bowed her head.

"I see."

Her master\'s words bore no emotion, as if everything had been anticipated.

The next moment, a Divine Sense swept over from behind the curtain,

Liu Ruoxue\'s breathing stopped abruptly, and the palms of her hands unusually began to sweat.

Fortunately, her master\'s Divine Sense only inspected her Dantian, confirming that she wasn\'t severely hurt, then withdrew.

"Where did that Outer Domain Demon escape to?"

"...I, I don\'t know."

Liu Ruoxue shook her head, hardly believing she had nearly been discovered by her master, which frightened her so much that despite knowing it useless, she involuntarily squeezed her legs tighter together.

At the same time, her mind inexplicably recalled the scene from that night long ago.

That night, she had proposed to place that pearl into her Dantian, allowing him to control her life and death.

But he insisted on placing it in that spot; upon reflection, could he have anticipated the current situation?

If her master\'s Divine Sense had probed a bit lower just now and discovered her secret, she surely would have disappointed her master, wouldn\'t she?

With these thoughts, Liu Ruoxue\'s body shuddered slightly, feeling very uneasy; yet deep within, there was an indescribable thrill, one she couldn\'t even determine the origin of.

Due to the exertion just now, she could distinctly feel the pearl lodged inside like a pebble, causing her some panic.

It even gave her a faint sense that it might leap out at any moment, just like before.

She wanted to fiddle with it but was worried her master might notice, so Liu Ruoxue could only bite her lip and endure the embarrassment, tilting her head down even further, fearing her master might detect her abnormality.

"Never mind, if you don\'t know, then you don\'t. That Outer Domain Demon is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage after all. I suppose it likely can\'t stir up much trouble. Right now, that\'s not the most important thing. By the way, since you have returned this time, you should also find an opportunity to meet Zhen Dan from the Yang Branch."

Liu Ruoxue fell silent.

This person was the Dao Companion her master had chosen for her.

After a moment, she spoke with a strained voice.

"Yes."

...

When Liu Ruoxue returned to the Yin Branch, she witnessed a scene that astonish her.

On the ground, polished smooth by the daily practice of disciples\' Sword Qi, lay a dozen young girls in disarray.

And the culprit behind all this sat on the ground, stroking his chin, appearing to be deep in thought.

"Fang... Yuan, what have you done? What happened here?"

Liu Ruoxue was somewhat surprised.

It wasn\'t out of real concern for what had happened here, but rather the fear that he might have exposed himself.

"Nothing much, just exchanged pointers with the sisters after coming back."

Xu Yuan said with a smile.

"Have you gone mad? Kicking up such a fuss as soon as you returned?"

Liu Ruoxue transmitted a message, "If others notice that something is amiss, what then?"

Xu Yuan countered with a transmitted message, "If the noise I made was big enough to raise suspicion, they should have come out by now. Since they haven\'t, doesn\'t it prove I was right?"

Liu Ruoxue instantly understood his meaning.

He was testing to see what attitude the people of the Sword Sect had towards him, now that he had changed so drastically.

Was he breaking these people\'s preconceived notions of him on purpose to facilitate his actions later on?

But, wasn\'t he afraid of overplaying his hand?
