Thinking that the other party would believe him, Zhang Xuan hurriedly nodded. "I really want to learn saber arts. Saber arts are powerful and powerful, and it suits my personality and disposition …" Zhang Xuan thought that the other party would believe him.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to have both at the same time.
Since Zhang Xuan had always wanted him to learn swordsmanship from him, all he had to do was say that he was not skilled in swordsmanship. In any case, he was not a disciple of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, so there was nothing against his principles.
As long as he showed that he was proficient in saber arts, the other party would definitely give up on the idea of taking him in as his disciple!
"Ahem … I wonder how your saber technique is? Can you show it to us? "
Elder Bai Ye felt as though ten thousand divine beasts were galloping across his heart.
Given how powerful your swordsmanship is, I can understand why you don't want to become my disciple. However, if you want to learn the saber … I would like to see how you execute it!
If you can't use it, or if your saber technique contains sword intent, let's see how you get off the stage!
As one of the three great elders, he was displeased to be rejected in such a manner.
"I don't have a saber …" Zhang Xuan waved his hand. But before he could finish his words, Elder Bai Ye suddenly passed a saber over and said, "I have one here!"
Even though he was an elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, he still carried all sorts of weapons with him.
Stones from other mountains can be used to improve jade.
If he wanted to improve his swordsmanship, he had to know the strengths and weaknesses of other weapons.
Just like in the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords, there were Saber Breaking Style, Whip Breaking Style, Arrow Breaking Style, Palm Breaking Style …
If he wanted to crack it, he naturally needed to understand it better.
"Alright!"
Seeing that there was no way out, Zhang Xuan took the saber and shook it lightly. A powerful Saber Intent immediately burst forth from his body, and following which, it felt as if he had morphed into an incomparably sharp saber, ready to tear a hole in the heavens at any moment.
"…"
Elder Bai Ye and Bai Feng glanced at one another, and their eyes narrowed in astonishment. "Is this even possible?"
In an instant, they could feel the sword intent in their bodies being suppressed by the saber intent of the person before them, to the point that they could not even lift their heads!
In other words …
To a certain extent, the other party's understanding of saber intent was even purer and stronger than their sword intent!
The young man before him was someone who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, a figure who could very well become a Sword God!
To think that his comprehension of Saber Intent was so strong …
Why do I feel that all these years of hard work have been wasted on a dog?
"Am I better at saber techniques …?"
Zhang Xuan shook the saber once more before retracting the zhenqi within his body.
Judging from the other party's shocked expression, he should have believed it …
In order to not become the other party's disciple, he was really going all out …
"He's good with the saber …"
Elder Bai Ye swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he suppressed the shock in his heart. "Actually, I'm not here to take you in as my disciple. Instead … he has confirmed your identity, and he wishes to bring you to the Hall of Elders! "
"Identity?"
Zhang Xuan stiffened. "What identity?"
"If my guess is correct, you must be 'I Am Low Profile' and 'I Am Very Handsome', right?
Elder Bai Ye said.
"What 'I Am Low Profile' and 'I Am Handsome'?" Zhang Xuan's scalp tingled, but his face remained expressionless. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't know what you're talking about …"
"Don't deny it! Do you think I don't know what kind of situation my granddaughter is in? She doesn't take her swordsmanship seriously at all … Otherwise, she wouldn't be at her current level! Following behind you for an hour, she already possesses the strength to challenge the number one core disciple. Other than I Am Low Profile, the genius who has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, I can't think of anyone else! "
Elder Bai Ye said.
"I …"
Zhang Xuan was infuriated.
Screw your mother!
Since you're already certain, why didn't you just say so as soon as you arrived?
To make me execute my saber art and put on an act … Are you trying to put on a show?
"I bear no ill will. If I did, I would have made a move long ago. Even though you have comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, your cultivation is only at Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm, right? You're far from a match for me!"
Elder Bai Ye said.
Even though Zhang Xuan had used some kind of secret art to suppress his cultivation, such that his cultivation was only at Dimension Shatterer realm pinnacle, the fact that he was able to enter the core disciples' Ethereal Hall meant that his cultivation had already reached Pseudo Immortal realm.
"Alright, I'll admit to it!"
Seeing that Elder Bai Ye was unable to see through his cultivation, Zhang Xuan could only nod in agreement.
Since the other party had already seen through his cultivation, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Elder Bai Ye was right. Regardless of whether he was at Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm or at Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle, he would be completely helpless before a Heavenly High Immortal.
"As expected …"
Elder Bai Ye clenched his fists tightly.
Even though he had already confirmed the matter, he still couldn't help but feel agitated upon hearing the other party admit to it.
The Gods' Sword Intent …
In the several thousand years since the founding of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, there was only one person who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent!
Elder Bai Ye clasped his fist and said, "Since it's you, why don't you follow me to the Elder Council? The fact that you have comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent is of great importance to the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion. If nothing goes wrong, you'll become our sect leader in the future!"
The way the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion chose their sect leader was based on their swordsmanship.
As long as one had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, there was no doubt that they would become the sect leader.
"You want me to become the sect leader?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had thought that the other party would punish him for the conflict between the inner disciples and the core disciples, but who could have thought that the other party would want him to become the sect leader instead?
With such an identity, not only would he be much safer, more importantly, he would be able to stand at the peak of the Azure. With that, it would be much easier for him to find Lozosy's whereabouts!
"Un." Elder Bai Ye nodded.
"Very well, I'll follow you to the Elder Council then. However, I don't want too many people to know about it," Zhang Xuan said.
Even though he trusted the elder, he still had to be careful.
He understood the saying that the tallest tree in the forest would be the first to be destroyed.
Otherwise, he would not have kept such a low profile all this while.
"Don't worry about that. We won't tell anyone about it!"
Elder Bai Ye nodded.
As one of the strongest figures on the Forsaken Continent, he understood this as well.
"Ruanqing, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Brother Zhang and I will be back soon!"
Elder Bai Ye instructed Bai Ruanqing before turning his gaze back to Zhang Xuan. "Let's go!"
After saying those words, Elder Bai Ye wrapped Zhang Xuan up with his zhenqi, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already vanished into the horizon.
"Teacher … has a chance to become the next sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?"
Dan Xiaotian and Cao Chengli were dumbfounded by the sight before them.
They had always thought highly of Zhang Xuan, thinking that he was extremely talented and powerful …
Who could have thought that he would actually comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent?
At such a young age, he actually had a chance to become the next leader of one of the Six Sects!
This was especially so for Dan Xiaotian. His body trembled uncontrollably as he slumped to the ground.
It was no wonder why the Young Master's' rules' were so weird. He was not allowed to enter with his left foot nor his right foot …
He had said 'I Am Low Profile' twice, but that fellow … Wasn't that equivalent to insulting him?
It was already a miracle that he did not beat him to death on the spot.
…
In the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion.
The sect leader, Elder He, and the others were seated in front of the wall, waiting anxiously.
Deng deng deng deng!
Flurried footsteps echoed in the air.
"Did I Am Low Profile appear?"
Elder He, who was in the midst of his cultivation, hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at an elder who was walking over.
"That's not it … Someone is challenging all of the core disciples …" the elder replied anxiously.
It was the elder who had gone to look for Bai Ye previously.
"Challenging all of the core disciples? Could it be … I Am Low Profile? " Elder He abruptly rose to his feet, and his eyes narrowed in astonishment. "That can't be right. Isn't he only at Dimension Shatterer realm consummation?"
"That person's name is … I Am Very Handsome! He challenged dozens of core disciples in a single breath, and he killed all of them on the spot. Elder Bai Ye and I tried to sneak over to him, but we were still beheaded … "
The elder's face reddened in embarrassment.
"He killed dozens of core disciples and you and Bai Ye as well," Sect Leader Han said. "He must be a genius who has comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent and is trying to find out where I Am Very Handsome is …"
He could have killed dozens of core disciples with ease, but to kill Elder Bai Ye and the person before him, even he would not have been able to do so easily!
Without a doubt, I Am Very Handsome and I Am Low Profile were the same person!
Weng!
Upon hearing the command, the wall shook a little, but there was no indication of what was going on.
"Reporting to Sect Leader Han, he killed all of the core disciples before leaving the Ethereal Hall!"
The elder quickly explained. "However, Elder Bai Ye said that he has already confirmed who he is, and he's heading over to the Elder Council to look for him. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to bring him back soon!"
"Bai Ye has confirmed it?"
The crowd glanced at one another in disbelief.
Elder Bai Ye had been severely injured all this while, such that he hadn't even participated in the Elder Council. How could he have confirmed it before them?
"It's like this …"
The elder explained.
He had no idea that Bai Ruanqing had gone to buy medicine, but he did know that she had challenged the core disciples with just two moves.
Perhaps, that was how Elder Bai Ye was able to confirm Bai Ruanqing's identity.
"Bai Ruanqing only learned two moves, but she managed to leap from the seventeenth place to the first place, and she even managed to tie with my grandson?"
Elder He widened his eyes in shock.
If he had still been a little doubtful previously, he had already confirmed it.
"Let's hurry back!"
Knowing this, the crowd hurriedly returned to the Elder Council.
Shortly after they sat down, they saw Elder Bai Ye and a young man flying over.
"Sect Leader Han, you are back!"
Elder Bai Ye's eyes lit up upon seeing the person seated on the main seat. He quickly greeted the young man and introduced, "This young man over here is the genius who comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, Zhang Xuan!"
"Zhang Xuan?"
The crowd turned their gazes over curiously.
It was only then that they realized that the young man before them was only in his early twenties.
"Zhang Xuan, this young man over here is the current Sect Leader Han of our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Han Jianqiu!"
Elder Bai Ye introduced.
"Sect Leader Han?"
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over.
Han Jianqiu was an old man in his sixties. He was dressed in a green robe, and the Sword Intent that he emanated was extremely concentrated. His aura was as powerful as a pillar, making it difficult for one to gauge his cultivation with a single glance.
Even though Zhang Xuan had no idea what his cultivation was, he could tell that he was far stronger than Elder Bai Ye and Elder He.
"Could he be an expert who has surpassed the High Immortal realm?"
Zhang Xuan thought.
