Time flew.
There had been some inexplicable commotion in the Sword Catacomb.
It had been almost a month since Xie Tian was punished by the Third Elder to face the wall in the Sword Wind Cave, but there had been no news of Xie Tian's death, which was very surprising.
In the history of the Sword Catacomb, 99% of those who had survived the Sword Wind Cave were Greater Heaven experts. The remaining few were lucky enough to face the wall for no more than seven days. There had never been an outer disciple with inner qi who survived for nearly a month.
Therefore, the Sword Wind Cave, which was rarely visited by humans, suddenly exploded with a strong attraction. From time to time, Inner Sect disciples would pass by out of curiosity. Even Outer Sect disciples who did not have the qualifications to step foot into this place came here through various means just to satisfy their curiosity.
"Senior Brother, have you seen Xie Tian?"
"I come here every day, but I haven't seen him."
"Could he have been reduced to ashes? I heard that only Greater Heaven experts can resist the wind in the Sword Wind Cave … "
"Haha, isn't that obvious? The Third Elder is busy all day and probably forgot to announce the news of Xie Tian's death! "
…
The inner disciples' answers were sonorous, and the outer disciples nodded in agreement. However, seeing the inner disciples' eyes frequently looking at the Sword Wind Cave, they knew that even the inner disciples weren't completely confident.
Liu Xu cast a resentful glance at the Sword Wind Cave and turned to leave.
His walking posture was a bit awkward because he had gone to Xie Tian's courtyard again. Although he was fully armed, it was hard to guard against it. The sole of his foot was still stung by a blue scorpion. Not only did he lose half his life, but he also lost his face as the young master of Huai An's Liu Family.
He had become a joke among the outer disciples since he couldn't even deal with Xie Tian's servant.
However, it was also because of this that his hatred towards Xie Tian could not be washed away even with the Lanzhuo River. Now, he was completely possessed, and he swore that he would not rest until he killed Xie Tian. Of course, that despicable and shameless servant had to die as well.
"Outer disciple, young master of Huai An City's Liu clan, Liu Xu, greets First Senior Brother Chu Tiankuo."
The exquisite courtyard in front of Liu Xu was reserved for inner sect disciples. Although it couldn't compare to Huai An's Liu Estate, Liu Xu's attitude was even more respectful than when he was facing the Imperial City. He directly knelt down.
Chu Tiankuo pushed open the door and glanced at Liu Xu. He was very satisfied with the latter's humble and respectful attitude. He calmly asked, "What's the matter?"
"From today onwards, I'm Senior Brother's dog. I'm at your beck and call. Everything in the Liu family of Huai 'an is yours!"
Liu Xu immediately sold himself and the entire Liu family to Chu Tiankuo without the slightest hesitation!
Chu Tiankuo was a little surprised. He had heard of the Liu Family before he entered the Sword Catacomb. Even now, the Liu Family was a delicacy that made him drool.
However, he also knew that Liu Xu must have a request, so he smiled and said, "Speak."
Liu Xu abruptly raised his head with bloodshot eyes and gnashed his teeth. "I want Xie Tian dead!"
"You think too much." What a joke. Li Jian had specifically said that he wanted to kill Xie Tian. There was no way Chu Tiankuo would offend Li Jian just because of the Liu Clan.
Liu Xu's face turned ashen when he heard that. At this moment, Chu Tiankuo calmly said, "I already know about you. I can get the Cripple back for you, and I can also give you the strength to wash away your humiliation. However, you can't kill Xie Tian!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Enough! That's enough! Liu Xu was so excited that his body trembled. The first outer sect disciple assessment would be in three days. Even if Xie Tian could walk out of the Wind Sword Cave alive, he would definitely be exhausted. It was the perfect time for him to take revenge!
"This is the Cleansing Elixir. It can improve your physique and raise your cultivation by three small levels." Even Chu Tiankuo felt the pinch when he took out the elixir. He looked at the surprised Liu Xu and said, "This elixir is equivalent to the entire Liu Family."
In other words, Chu Tiankuo was telling Liu Xu that he would only help him this once.
"I will never forget Senior Brother's kindness!"
Liu Xu took the Cleansing Elixir with trembling hands. He resisted the urge to swallow it and quickly kowtowed three more times.
"Go in and refine the Cleansing Elixir. I'll go get the Cripple."
Four hours later, Liu Xu walked out of Chu Tiankuo's courtyard with Cripple on his back, his face glowing. His aura was like a rainbow. In a short time, his cultivation had broken through to the sixth stage of the Inner Qi Realm. He was only one step away from the late stage of the Inner Qi Realm.
"If I have another Cleansing Elixir, I can definitely complete Inner Qi! Damn Chu Tiankuo! "
Liu Xu gritted his teeth and cursed. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with Chu Tiankuo's stinginess. However, he could not suppress his excitement when he thought about how he had instantly become the number one new disciple and even surpassed Mu Liang.
"First place in the assessment, 100 contribution points can be exchanged for a supreme sword art! At this rate, I, Liu Xu, will become stronger and stronger! Haha! Xie Tian, just you wait! "
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. It was time for the new disciple assessment and the end of Xie Tian's confinement.
Outside the Cultivation Hall, there was an overflow of people. Almost all the inner and outer disciples of the Sword Tomb had come.
"Huh? I don't see that Xie Tian. Is he really dead?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Since it's obvious, what are you here for? Do you really want to see the trash assessment of the new disciples? "
… …
Chu Tiankuo swept his gaze across the scene and did not see Xie Tian. After a moment of hesitation, he walked towards Han Li and saluted, asking, "Third Elder, where is Xie Tian?"
"He's where he should be."
"Hmph, Third Elder, I don't need to say more about Xie Tian's importance. If he's dead, hehe …" Chu Tiankuo smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Han Li's eyes flashed with coldness for a brief moment.
Everyone was looking around for Xie Tian. Unfortunately, even when Han Li announced the start of the assessment, Xie Tian still hadn't appeared.
"F * ck, I came here for nothing. Let's go!"
"That's right, there's nothing to see in a group of trash assessments!"
"Hehe, I heard that a genius appeared in the outer sect. In a short month, his cultivation soared by three small stages."
"Oh? Interesting. Let's watch. "
… …
After a month of cultivation, Mu Liang's cultivation had broken through to the fifth layer of Inner Qi. His Inner Qi was only a bit more pure and could break through to the sixth layer. He was far ahead of the new disciples.
At this moment, he stood on the assessment stage and released his Inner Qi. The Third Elder glanced at Mu Liang and indifferently said, "Your body's strength has increased by one layer, and your Inner Qi cultivation has increased by one layer. The first assessment: good."
Mu Liang bowed. Although his results were good, when he thought of Xie Tian in the Sword Wind Cave, he felt that his results were somewhat shameful.
"I wonder what kind of progress you've made in the past month …" The absent-minded Mu Liang was interrupted by a sudden clamor. He looked at Liu Xu on the assessment stage and frowned.
"Your body's strength has increased by two layers, and your Inner Qi cultivation has increased by three layers. The first assessment, excellent." The Third Elder was somewhat surprised and said, "Don't be arrogant and impatient. Continue to work hard."
Liu Xu's face flushed with excitement. He bowed and said, "Many thanks, Third Elder. This disciple will do his best and advance courageously!"
The first assessment ended. Liu Xu had indisputably obtained first place. Seeing Liu Xu's gaze filled with pride and provocation, Mu Liang's frown deepened.
The second assessment was a cultivation technique assessment. Liu Xu practiced the Chuzhao Sword Art and Wave Treading Steps. In the end, Liu Xu, who had been taught by Chu Tiankuo, suppressed Mu Liang and seized first place.
"Haha, Young Master Liang, I didn't think that there would be a day when I would surpass you. I am truly sorry."
Liu Xu loudly laughed, his pride overflowing. Seeing this, Mu Liang's face became gloomy.
"The third assessment is actual combat. Use the Chuzhao Sword Art and Wave Treading Steps against your opponent."
Without a doubt, the battle for the third position would still unfold between the two of them.
Mu Liang had yet to reach the level of fusing two different cultivation techniques. In a mere three moves, he was defeated by Liu Xu, who had just begun to fuse them. Que Xing fell to the ground with a clang!
"You!" In the final move, Liu Xu deliberately struck down Que Xing. Mu Liang was immediately enraged!
But before he could speak, Liu Xu rushed to pick up Que Xing and sinisterly said, "Young Master Liang, it's not that this little brother doesn't respect you, but since this little brother's cultivation is slightly higher, this little brother will take over Que Xing! When Young Master Liang defeats me, I will return Que Xing with both hands! "
"You dare! Return Que Xing! "Mu Liang's eyes were about to split open. He raised his hand and chopped toward Liu Xu's chest!
"Stay your hand!" Han Li suddenly stood up and swept his gaze across the audience. He coldly said to Mu Liang, "Since your skills are inferior, you deserve to be humiliated! This assessment has ended. Liu Xu has consecutively seized three champions, and his contribution points have doubled again. A total of two hundred points … "
Before Han Li finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the muffled sound of thunder.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads and saw a bloody man with his head lowered.
The bloody man was none other than Xie Tian.
As for the muffled thunder and the shaking of the ground, it was because Xie Tian had slightly used his strength to take a step forward.
