Hundred Chi Gate, in front of the Hall of Merit!
However, to everyone's surprise, even at Beastmaster Peak, The Sword Without Trace did not stay for too long.
Normally, he would either go out to train or exchange for cultivation resources at the Hall of Merit.
It was under this cautious and risky method of survival that The Sword Without Trace not only managed to protect his own fortune, but also made successive breakthroughs in the short span of a year. He was now at the peak of sixth grade Martial Master.
Unlike how the people of the sect viewed The Sword Without Trace, Yu Haoran knew that The Sword Without Trace not only cultivated quickly, his potential was high, his swordsmanship was exquisite, and he was also a person who valued relationships and loyalty.
In his previous life, when the Hundred Chi Gate was in danger of being exterminated, the elites and core disciples who enjoyed the protection of the sect immediately chose to flee the sect.
However, The Sword Without Trace did not leave!
With the cultivation of a peak seventh grade Martial King, he single-handedly fought against nine experts of the high level Martial King realm. Not only did he protect some of the Inner Sect disciples of the Martial Master realm and successfully evacuate from the Hundred Feet Gate, he also easily killed nine experts of the Martial King realm.
Afterwards, he was attacked by an early stage Martial King expert. Not only did he heavily injure the expert, he also calmly left.
Unfortunately, ever since the Hundred Chi Gate was exterminated, Yu Haoran had not seen or heard any news about The Sword Without Trace.
"The Sword Without Trace, with your mere sixth grade Martial Master cultivation, how could you have killed a seventh grade exotic beast? Moreover, it was the king of seventh grade exotic beasts, the Green-eyed Wolf King.
"Furthermore, yesterday, Martial Uncle Lie Qing went deep into the mountain range and heavily injured a seventh grade third grade Green-eyed Wolf King. However, he was warned by the emperor of exotic beasts in the depths of the mountain range and had no choice but to retreat.
"Therefore, I suspect that this Green-eyed Wolf King's corpse was actually killed by Martial Uncle Lie Qing. You just took advantage of it.
"According to the rules of the sect and the Hall of Merit, we can only give you thirty seventh grade ninth grade spirit stones in exchange."
Just as Yu Haoran was recalling the various experiences of The Sword Without Trace in his previous life, a contemptuous reprimand came from the Achievement Hall.
The disdainful rebuke from the Achievement Hall immediately caused the surrounding people to discuss.
"That's right, a seventh step third grade Green-eyed Wolf King is comparable to a peak sixth grade Martial King. With The Sword Without Trace's sixth grade Martial Master cultivation, not to mention injuring the Green-eyed Wolf King, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the courage to face it."
"It seems that the Achievement Palace Senior Brother did not wrongly accuse The Sword Without Trace!"
"I didn't expect that The Sword Without Trace, who seemed to be honest and upright, was actually an opportunistic and treacherous man!"
"…!"
"…!"
Although everyone had deliberately lowered their voices, with The Sword Without Trace's strength, how could he not hear them?
Although he maintained a calm expression in the face of everyone's criticism, flames continuously flashed in his eyes. His left hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword showed that he did not care about the crowd's discussion.
However, his solitary nature made him not good with words. Faced with the Achievement Hall's slander, he really did not know how to refute.
Wu Zhengjun was also very familiar with the scene that was unfolding in front of the Achievement Hall.
In the Wu Clan, he had suffered many such slander. Furthermore, he should not be deluded to think that there would be someone who would speak up for him.
This was because it was already very rare for the crowd to not take advantage of the situation to add insult to injury. Did he expect them to help him out?
However, just as he thought that The Sword Without Trace would be like him and turn around to leave, Yu Haoran suddenly walked towards the Achievement Hall. He could not help but ask.
"Yu Shixiong, what do you want?"
"Nothing, I just want to say a few words!" Yu Haoran said calmly.
Others might not believe that The Sword Without Trace was able to kill the seventh level third grade Green Eyed Wolf King, but Yu Haoran believed it.
Furthermore, Yu Haoran also believed that when his cultivation reached the peak of sixth grade Martial Master, he would be able to kill a seventh level third grade Beast King even more easily than The Sword Without Trace.
Yu Haoran's sudden appearance might seem foolish to others, but Wu Zhengjun was very touched. Since Yu Haoran was willing to stand up for a stranger who had been wronged, he would definitely not mistreat Wu Zhengjun, who had chosen to follow him from the start.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhengjun quickened his steps to catch up to Zhang Che.
Yu Haoran's sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of the crowd, especially the disciples standing at the entrance of the Achievement Hall. They looked at Yu Haoran with doubtful expressions.
The spectating disciples might not recognize Yu Haoran, but the Achievement Hall disciples in charge of distributing the benefits to the disciples recognized Yu Haoran.
After the Inner Disciple Ranking Competition ended, Vice Sect Leader Lieyan had sent three pictures to the Achievement Hall. One was the double champion Yu Haoran, the second was the peerless beauty Lin Mengyao, and the third was the black-clothed youth. Moreover, he had specifically warned them not to offend these three people.
Ignoring the attention of the crowd, Yu Haoran walked to the entrance of the Achievement Hall and did not speak up for The Sword Without Trace. Instead, he lowered his head to observe the corpse of the Green Eyed Wolf King.
After observing the corpse of the Green Eyed Wolf King, Yu Haoran further confirmed that the Green Eyed Wolf King had indeed died at the hands of The Sword Without Trace.
However, the reason why The Sword Without Trace was able to kill the Green Eyed Wolf King was not only because he had the ability to challenge those of a higher rank, but also because the Green Eyed Wolf King was a female wolf. Moreover, it had just given birth to a pup, so its rank had temporarily dropped to the ninth rank of the eighth step.
Otherwise, with The Sword Without Trace's strength, it would have been very difficult for him to kill the Green Eyed Wolf King, which had reached the third rank of the seventh step, despite the gap of six small ranks.
After observing the corpse of the Green Eyed Wolf King, Yu Haoran raised his head to look at the Achievement Hall disciple who had just slandered The Sword Without Trace. Then, he turned his head to look at The Sword Without Trace. Finally, he pointed at The Sword Without Trace and said.
"This Green Eyed Wolf King should have been personally killed by this Senior!"
"What?"
"The Sword Without Trace can kill a Green Eyed Wolf King of the seventh step, third rank?"
"I'm going to vomit blood. Who is this brat? How can he say that the Green Eyed Wolf King was killed by The Sword Without Trace?" "That's right.
I can also say that I was the one who killed the Green Eyed Wolf King! "
"That's right. Who does he think he is? He's the Gate Master of the Hundred Chi Gate!"
"…!"
"…!"
After Yu Haoran confirmed that the Green Eyed Wolf King was indeed killed by The Sword Without Trace, the Achievement Hall disciple did not say anything. Instead, the crowd began to discuss among themselves. Moreover, there were many people who did not like The Sword Without Trace and Yu Haoran who were in the limelight. They could not help but mock and humiliate Yu Haoran.
Coldly looking at those who mocked and humiliated him, Yu Haoran roared, "All of you, shut up!"
Then, he turned to The Sword Without Trace and asked, "Senior, in your current state, I wonder if you can still use your most powerful sword technique?"
"Not only have I used up a lot of my elemental energy, but my internal organs have also been severely injured. I can barely use the sword technique, but I don't have the power of a sword technique!"
Asking someone to use their most powerful sword technique was actually a taboo. However, The Sword Without Trace did not know why, but he seemed to trust the young man who asked him to use his most powerful sword technique. Therefore, he answered honestly.
