As a martial arts genius who could challenge those of a higher level, Chu Jingyue's strength had improved greatly after she became a Half-Step Martial Sage. She defeated Ling Yue and became the top three.
However, it was impossible for her to become the second. Xin Zhuoyuan had also cultivated a supreme-grade martial art to the Perfection Realm and his supreme-grade body-refining technique was close to perfection. His strength was at the peak of the Martial Sage Realm.
If Chu Jingyue wanted to fight with Xin Zhuoyuan, she would have to reach the limit of a Half-Step Martial Sage.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister Chu."
"Haha … Compared to Senior Brother Ye, my results are nothing."
"Haha, Junior Sister Chu, it won't be fun if you keep competing with me. Go to the Affair Hall to get your reward. Don't forget about tomorrow."
"Mm … See you at the Affair Hall tomorrow morning!"
…
The Affair Hall dealt with the internal affairs of the sect. The sect's rewards were all given out by the Affair Hall.
The Affair Hall dealt with the external affairs of the sect. The sect's missions were all given out by the Affair Hall.
The next day, Ye Xing and Chu Jingyue came to the Affair Hall early in the morning.
According to the sect's rules, outer disciples were not allowed to go down the mountain alone. They had to team up to accept the sect's missions and leave the sect.
Since Ye Xing could not leave alone, he had to find a partner. Originally, Ye Xing was looking for Chu Jingnan. However, Chu Jingnan had just broken through to the ninth level of the Star Tempering Realm and wanted to continue cultivating in the sect for a while.
Chu Jingyue heard from Chu Jingnan that Ye Xing was going to explore the outside world. She took the initiative to find Ye Xing and wanted to team up with him.
The two of them had already agreed that they would leave the sect after Chu Jingyue became the third outer disciple and received the reward.
There were not many missions that outer disciples could accept. They were not allowed to take on missions such as hunting down bandits or eradicating criminals.
Each county had a powerful force. If a Star Tempering Realm martial artist caused trouble, even if he was at the ninth level of the Star Tempering Realm, he would be easily eliminated by the county marquis' mansions.
Only when a Martial Sage caused trouble and the marquises had many things to do, they could not catch bandits every day. Ordinary martial artists could not do anything about it. Therefore, the sect's disciples were needed.
Of course, inner disciples or even core disciples were needed to deal with a Martial Sage.
In fact, if the rebels were strong enough, it was even possible that the elders of the sect would take action.
Ye Xing and Chu Jingyue accepted a task of collecting medicinal herbs and went down the mountain.
Falling Star Sect, Inner Gate!
A small messenger pigeon flew into a certain mansion. A young martial artist was practicing his saber technique in the courtyard. His Essence Qi was like smoke rising into the sky. His aura was terrifying. He was a Martial Saint.
When the young Martial Sage saw the pigeon, he sheathed his saber and extended his palm.
The little carrier pigeon immediately flew into the young Martial Saint's hand. The young Martial Saint took the note from the pigeon's leg and opened it. His face immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
"There's a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it. There's no door to hell. Ye Xing, you've caused a lot of trouble in the outer sanctum and attracted a lot of attention. It's very troublesome for my Zhen Prison Temple to touch you. I didn't expect you to leave the sect. You're simply courting death!"
The young Martial Saint was Zhen Qiu Si. He murmured as a terrifying light burst from his eyes.
…
Ye Xing and Chu Jingyue first bought two demonic horses in the capital at the foot of the mountain. Then, they went to the Blue Cloud Mountains.
Ye Xing spurred the horse and galloped wildly. Looking at the vast blue sky, he felt free and at ease again. He couldn't help but let out a long howl!
Chu Jingyue, who was beside him, saw Ye Xing's valiant and high-spirited appearance. Deep in her eyes, there was a blurred color. She had an indescribable feeling for Ye Xing. She was completely convinced.
This time, she was very happy to be able to carry out a task with Ye Xing and explore the Jianghu. However, her happiness was different from Ye Xing's.
The demonic horses were very fast and could travel thousands of miles in a day. Not long after, the two of them were far away from the capital. A mountainous area appeared in front of them.
Ye Xing looked into the distance and was surprised. He saw a Blue Wind Eagle standing on a hillside dozens of miles away. On the back of the Blue Wind Eagle sat a young man.
The distance was too far. Ye Xing couldn't scan the young man's cultivation with his super brain. However, what surprised Ye Xing was that the Blue Wind Eagle seemed to be looking at him from afar.
Ye Xing didn't know the young man on the back of the Blue Wind Eagle, but he had a bad feeling about him.
Perhaps it was because he had been chased by the masked assassin on the Blue Wind Eagle twice. Ye Xing felt threatened by the person on the Blue Wind Eagle. Moreover, the Blue Wind Eagle was looking in the direction of Ye Xing and Chu Jingyue.
The Blue Wind Eagle's eyesight was very good. Ye Xing didn't doubt that the Blue Wind Eagle could see him. As for the young man on the Blue Wind Eagle, he couldn't see so far unless he also practiced eye techniques.
"Let's go this way …!"
Ye Xing decisively changed his direction. No matter whether the other party was a threat or not, Ye Xing didn't want to meet him.
Chu Jingyue didn't object to Ye Xing's sudden change of direction. She followed Ye Xing to another road.
Ye Xing looked at the Blue Wind Eagle dozens of miles away. After a while, the Blue Wind Eagle moved. Its head and gaze changed according to Ye Xing's direction.
In this way, Ye Xing was sure that the Blue Wind Eagle was indeed looking at him.
Based on the Blue Wind Eagle's reaction, the young man on the back of the eagle knew that Ye Xing and Chu Jingyue had changed their direction. He immediately patted the Blue Wind Eagle's back.
Whoosh —
The Blue Wind Eagle rushed into the sky and flew toward Ye Xing and Chu Jingyue.
Knowing that the other party was coming for him, Ye Xing didn't panic. He called Chu Jingyue and stopped the horse.
He had the Demon-Trapping Formation and the Coiled Snake Formation. Even if he encountered an Intermediate Martial Sage, he wouldn't be afraid. He didn't believe that the young man was a Noble.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Ye?" Chu Jingyue saw Ye Xing stop and asked.
"I think we're in trouble." Ye Xing pointed in the direction of the Blue Wind Eagle.
The Blue Wind Eagle was very fast. Chu Jingyue soon saw the figure of the Blue Wind Eagle and said, "There's someone on the eagle's back."
When the distance was close enough, Ye Xing scanned the other party's cultivation. He was at the third level of the Star Vortex Realm, a Three-star Martial Sage.
Ye Xing raised his hand and the Piercing Cloud Bow and the Blue Sandalwood Arrow appeared in his hands. At the same time, he frowned slightly.
If the other party was a Two-star Martial Sage, Ye Xing could kill him with the Coiled Snake Formation. However, if the other party was a Three-star Martial Sage, the ordinary Coiled Snake Formation recorded in the formation might not be able to deal with him.
After all, the formation in the form of a formation disk was the weakest.
If he used the Demon-Trapping Formation to deal with him, Ye Xing felt that it would be a loss. It felt like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. A small success Demon-Trapping Formation could trap an Intermediate Martial Sage.
After thinking for a while, Ye Xing activated a Recording Formation.
"Who are you? If you dare to come closer, don't blame me for not showing mercy! "
Ye Xing put an arrow on the bowstring and pointed at the Blue Wind Eagle, shouting loudly.
The Blue Wind Eagle landed on a small hill two miles away. The young man jumped down from the eagle's back.
"Who am I?"
The young man shouted loudly. His voice was passionate and murderous. "Ye Xing, do you still remember the Zhen Xiang Temple of the Zi Yang College?"
Ye Xing's eyes narrowed. He instantly reacted. "You are the elder brother of the Zhen Xiang Temple, Zhen Qiu Si?"
Chu Jingyue, who was beside him, was surprised. He exclaimed, "Zhen Qiu Si? The tenth inner disciple, Zhen Qiu Si? "
No wonder Chu Jingyue was surprised. The tenth inner disciple was an influential figure among the inner disciples. As for the outer disciples, the inner disciples were already unreachable.
"Yes, it's me!"
The murderous intent in Zhen Qiu Si's eyes grew stronger. He took a step forward and floated more than a hundred meters. He walked toward Ye Xing. "Ye Xing, you killed my younger brother. Today, I will cut you into pieces as a sacrifice to my brother's soul in heaven!"
Ye Xing looked calm. When he was about to shoot the arrow, he heard Chu Jingyue say loudly, "Senior Brother Zhen, the sect's rules forbid disciples from killing each other. As an inner disciple, are you going to violate the sect's rules?"
Zhen Qiu Si snorted coldly and said, "The sect also has rules. If a disciple has a grudge, they can settle it in the Life and Death Arena or outside the sect. He is only protected in the sect. Now that he has left the sect, it is time for us to settle our grudge. Die, Ye Xing!"
As he spoke, Zhen Qiu Si was already within a thousand steps of Ye Xing.
Whoosh —
Ye Xing did not say anything else. The Blue Sandalwood Arrow instantly left the bowstring and shot toward Zhen Qiu Si.
Ye Xing's inner strength was very strong now. He still had 20% of pure Star Essence. The Stacking Wave Arrow Art had reached 14 stacks.
10 stacks could threaten a Martial Sage who had just stepped into the Star Vortex Realm. 14 stacks could kill a One-star Martial Sage.
Even a Two-star Martial Sage would be threatened.
However, Zhen Qiu Si was not a Two-star Martial Sage, nor was he a One-star Martial Sage. He was a Three-star Martial Sage.
Moreover, he was a Three-star Martial Sage with extremely high combat strength. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the top ten of the inner disciples.
Zhen Qiu Si did not use any weapon. He only circulated his Star Essence and grabbed forward. A palm covered in flames caught the Blue Sandalwood Arrow directly.
Obviously, Zhen Qiu Si cultivated the Fire Inheritance.
Ye Xing's arrow could kill a One-star Martial Sage. However, it was nothing in front of Zhen Qiu Si. It was like a child throwing a tree branch.
"So your strength has reached such a level. The power of this arrow can kill a One-star Martial Sage. What a pity …!"
Zhen Qiu Si's eyes were filled with killing intent. He used his Light Body Technique to quickly approach Ye Xing. "What a pity … Your opponent today is me, Zhen Qiu Si. Even if your strength is doubled, you will still die!"
"Senior Brother Ye, run!"
Chu Jingyue shouted when she saw Zhen Qiu Si rushing towards her. She immediately jumped off her horse and stood between Ye Xing and Zhen Qiu Si.
Ye Xing looked at Chu Jingyue in surprise. He did not expect her to help Zhen Qiu Si, the tenth-ranked Inner Disciple.
Ye Xing's surprise only lasted for a moment. He took out the Demon Trapping Array and threw it at Zhen Qiu Si.
"Child's play!"
Zhen Qiu Si shouted coldly. He continued to circulate his Star Essence and grabbed the Array with his flaming palm.
However, before the Array landed in his palm, it was suddenly activated. It shone brightly and formed a huge light shield that covered a radius of a few hundred feet.
Zhen Qiu Si happened to be in the middle of it.
"Array?"
Zhen Qiu Si's face finally changed. He took out his Spiritual Weapon and slashed at the light shield.
