Most of them had rushed over after hearing the news, but they did not participate in the battle.
To be able to single-handedly face five thousand opponents and emerge victorious in just half an hour … This was simply unbelievable!
If he did not provide the details of the battle, no one would be convinced!
"Are you certain?"
The person-in-charge of the Ethereal Hall frowned upon hearing the request.
Most of the members of the Ethereal Hall had concealed their identities, but the details of the battle would reveal their true identities and their chances of victory.
While the details of the battle would not go into detail, it would still be a violation of their privacy.
"That's right! We agree! "
"We agree as well. Even though he was defeated, we would like to know who he has defeated!"
"Only then will we be able to ascertain whether he has truly defeated so many people!"
…
A huge commotion broke out.
"Since there's such a request, there's no harm in providing it."
The person-in-charge of the Ethereal Hall turned around and issued a command.
A young man turned around and left. A long time later, he returned with a jade token in his hand.
"This is the list of I Am Low Profile's kills within an hour. Take a look! "
The young man said with a flick of his wrist.
Huala!
A list appeared in front of everyone, floating in the air. It was densely packed with names.
"Look! Senior Liu Lujie is at the top!"
Someone exclaimed.
The crowd quickly turned their gazes over, and they saw a particularly glaring name at the very top. "Liu Lujie, four times!"
"Does that mean that Senior Liu Lujie has been here? But … what do the four times after that mean? "
Someone asked curiously.
"The four times means that he has been killed four times in a row. Feeling indignant after being killed once, he changed his Ethereal Token and disguised himself as another person, only to be killed once more. This goes on for a total of four times! "the person-in-charge of the Ethereal Hall replied impassively.
"He has been killed four times in a row? What the heck! Isn't this way too shameless? "
"It's not that he's shameless, but that he's shameless!"
"Look! Senior Wang Jiandong has been killed four times too?"
…
Everyone's faces reddened in embarrassment.
Those who had shouted that Senior Liu Lujie had not participated in the duel wished that there was a hole in the ground that they could dive into.
They had thought that the number one inner disciple, Liu Shi, would not be here, but who could have thought that he would return after being killed once, and return after being killed once …
How shameful!
"Hmm? Who was Bai Ruanqing? I don't think there's such a name in the inner disciples … She was also killed twice! "
Someone shouted again.
"She seems to be … Elder Bai Ye's granddaughter, a core disciple!"
"Even a core disciple sneaked over to challenge him, and he was killed twice?"
…
The audience was in an uproar again.
Just a moment ago, he had thought that Liu Lujie being killed four times in a row was already a huge humiliation for him. Who could have thought that a core disciple would come to the duel between the inner disciples as well, and more importantly … he was even killed twice!
"Since Bai Ruanqing is a core disciple, then … who is Bai Feng? I don't think I've heard of it before … "
"I've heard of Bai Feng before. He's Elder Bai Ye's servant. Even though he isn't an elder yet, it's said that he's even stronger than a core elder!"
"He was even stronger than the core elders, and he came to challenge us, but he was also killed?"
…
Looking further down, many of the inner disciples were on the verge of breaking down.
Liu Lujie, the number one disciple of the inner disciples, had been killed four times in a row. After all, it was for the sake of the reputation of the inner disciples, so it was understandable for him to be a little shameless.
For a core disciple to be killed twice in a row, it was a little too exaggerated for a person whose strength was comparable to a core elder to be killed as well!
"Why isn't any of the inner elders doing anything about this matter?"
"Indeed. It's been half an hour. No matter how slow the elders are in the know, they should have already learned of the matter by now …"
Doubts surfaced in the hearts of the crowd.
Even a core disciple had come to challenge Liu Lujie, and yet, he was killed. Why didn't the inner elders say anything about it?
"Look, there are names below!"
Just as he was feeling bewildered, another person shouted.
Everyone quickly turned their gazes over.
There were quite a few names appearing in the details of the duel.
Mu Xuan, Huang You, Zhang Lingbo, Lu Yun …
"Mu Xuan seems to be Elder Mu's name!"
"Huang You is our elder's name!"
"Zhang Lingbo is our elder's name!"
…
For a moment, everyone's faces darkened. They felt as if their hearts would explode from the pressure.
"I thought that the elders wouldn't interfere, but who could have thought that they would impersonate disciples to challenge Liu Lujie, and in the end … they were killed as well!"
"To think that the person who imparted swordsmanship to us would be killed …"
"Just how powerful is I Am Low Profile?"
…
They were really going insane.
This was especially so for the inner disciples who had demanded to see the details of the duel. At this moment, they really wished that they could slap themselves to death.
They had been intending to redeem the dignity of the inner disciples, but in the end …
An inner disciple had made a bet with Liu Lujie, and in the end … not only did a core disciple show up, even an elder had made a move …
It was one thing for them to win, but they even lost!
It was just like a kindergarten brawl. Not only did the teachers and parents not help to stop the fight, they even rushed over and got pummeled …
How embarrassing!
How humiliating!
It would have been one thing if they had not seen the details of the duel, but if they did … they would have died on the spot!
…
Zhang Xuan also took in the conversation between the crowd and the details of the duel, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
When did inner disciples and elders appear as well?
Why didn't he feel anything at all?
Logically speaking, if those people were to make a move, they should have been very powerful, and they should have been able to affect him. But in the past half an hour, he had been killing one person with a single slash of his sword, and he had not met with any resistance at all!
Forget it, it's fine as long as I can earn some money …
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, but he was still unable to make sense of the situation. Thus, he turned to look at his card with glowing eyes.
He had killed more than five thousand inner disciples, and according to the terms of the bet, those people would have to give him all of the Sword Pavilion Coins in their cards. If that was the case, he would have made a killing!
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly as he looked at his card.
Very soon, a string of numbers appeared on it.
283764！
"280,000 Sword Pavilion Coins?"
Zhang Xuan nearly burst into laughter.
As expected, this kind of bet was the fastest way to earn money!
Five thousand inner disciples, and each of them had earned an average of 50 Sword Pavilion Coins. In just half an hour, he had earned 280,000 Sword Pavilion Coins … That was equivalent to nearly half of the wealth of the inner disciples!
With this money, he should be able to buy pills and tame the Dongxu Gourd easily!
"Farewell!"
Seeing that his body was already on the verge of collapsing, Zhang Xuan walked over to the front desk and bought a certain number of Basic Immortal Pills before leaving the Ethereal Hall.
Since he had already obtained the money, there was no need for him to remain in the Ethereal Hall any longer.
Returning to his room, he took out the pills and the Dongxu Gourd.
"Here are ten Basic Immortal Pills. Acknowledge me as your master, and I'll give them to you right now!"
Zhang Xuan opened the jade bottle, and concentrated spiritual energy immediately gushed out from it. Just by looking at it, the Dongxu Gourd felt its heart itch.
"Are you going to go back on your word?"
Seeing its hesitation, Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"Of course I'm going to keep my word. I don't mind acknowledging you as my master, but you have to give me sufficient medicinal herbs and treasures to help me recover!"
The Dongxu Gourd replied.
"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
The Dongxu Gourd shook its body slightly, and a droplet of golden liquid flew out and fell into Zhang Xuan's glabella.
Weng!
As soon as his consciousness came into contact with the Dongxu Gourd, Zhang Xuan immediately signed a contract with it, allowing him to communicate with the Dongxu Gourd through telepathy.
"What in the world are you?"
However, despite being able to communicate with the Dongxu Gourd, Zhang Xuan was still unable to tell what the Dongxu Gourd was. The Dongxu Gourd was like an egg in the midst of incubation.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm a legendary beast who has dominated the world, "the Dongxu Gourd replied proudly.
"Stop bragging. Here, you can have these pills!"
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless by the Dongxu Gourd's bragging. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the pills over.
After swallowing the pills, the Dongxu Gourd looked at Zhang Xuan eagerly and said, "I want more …"
"Here!"
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless by the Dongxu Gourd's reaction. In any case, he had a lot of money at the moment, so it did not matter much to him. Thus, he bought another ninety pills and gave them to the Dongxu Gourd so that it could slowly consume them while he calmed himself down to reflect on his actions.
This time, he had managed to challenge five thousand opponents despite being of the same cultivation realm as him, and he had benefited greatly from it.
His understanding of swordsmanship had deepened, and his control over his strength had become more precise.
He drove his cultivation for a moment, and he could feel the zhenqi in his body stirring. He was on the verge of making a breakthrough to Pseudo Immortal realm.
"To think that practicing swordsmanship in the Ethereal Hall would actually benefit my cultivation as well!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes glowed in excitement.
Under normal circumstances, he had only just reached Dimension Shatterer realm consummation a few hours ago. Even with the help of the Heaven's Path Divine Art, it would still take him several days to reinforce his cultivation. However, after the previous battle, he was able to control the slightly unstable zhenqi in his dantian freely. Despite being so far away from reaching Pseudo Immortal realm, he felt as if he was on the verge of making a breakthrough!
In other words, as long as he could find a suitable cultivation technique, he would be able to push for a breakthrough to Pseudo Immortal realm easily!
"Once I reach Pseudo Immortal realm, I'll be qualified to become a core disciple. Only then will I be able to push for a breakthrough to higher realms!"
The cultivation technique manuals in the library of the inner disciples were only for those below Pseudo Immortal realm. If he wished to push for a breakthrough to higher realms, he would have to find the corresponding manuals.
"Dan Xiaotian is only at Ancient Sage 1-dan pinnacle … He's still too far away from Pseudo Immortal realm!"
As a low-profile person, he did not want to expose his identity and cultivation, so he could only entrust the responsibility of becoming a core disciple to his disciple. However, his disciple was only at Ancient Sage 1-dan.
Even with his cultivation technique, it would still take him at least a month or two for him to reach Pseudo Immortal realm!
Otherwise, if he were to advance too quickly, he might end up losing his strength, and that would affect his future cultivation greatly.
While he had his own needs, he could not bring harm to his disciple.
"Actually … there's another way to achieve a breakthrough to the Pseudo Immortal realm other than heading to the core. That's … the Valley of Falling Rain. Many inner disciples who want to achieve a breakthrough will head there. There are many insights and experiences that can help one achieve a breakthrough to the Pseudo Immortal realm there!"
Since he could not rely on his disciple, he could only rely on himself. As Zhang Xuan went through the books that he had read previously, his eyes lit up.
There were cultivation technique manuals for inner disciples who wished to push for a breakthrough to Pseudo Immortal realm, but due to the limited number of them, they were not of much use to him. However, there were many inner disciples who chose to make a breakthrough in the Valley of Falling Rain. As such, there were quite a few cultivation technique manuals left behind in the Valley of Falling Rain.
Even if they were not cultivation technique manuals, as long as he organized them properly, he would still be able to push for a breakthrough to Pseudo Immortal realm.
Upon reaching Pseudo Immortal realm, he would be able to sneak into the core disciples' library and browse through the manuals there without having to worry about his identity being exposed.
"I should head over to take a look!"
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan walked out of the room without any hesitation.
"Young Master …"
At this moment, Cao Chengli had already finished fighting with the three hundred jin inner disciple, and he had returned to the courtyard.
The clash had left him feeling a little dispirited. From the looks of it, the other party was not a weakling either. No matter how powerful the bandit leader was, he was still feeling a little weak at the moment.
"Where's Dan Xiaotian?"
Zhang Xuan could not be bothered with that fellow. He quickly scanned the surroundings, but he did not see any disciples around.
"The inner disciples have called for an emergency meeting, and the Young Master has already headed over!"
Cao Chengli bowed.
