Chapter 1966: Truly an Inner Sect Disciple!

"Elder Mu..."

Liu Lujie and Wang Jiandong stood frozen.

Elder Mu and the others had come to handle the matter, but as soon as they made a move, they too were killed...

Those were the strongest group in the inner sect!

Big brother...

When you killed them, didn't your sword feel heavy?

Didn't you sense the powerful sword intent within them?

Someone with such sword intent couldn't possibly be an ordinary disciple...

And you just killed them casually?

The key point is... Elder Mu and the others clearly resisted, yet like us, they didn't cause any obstruction?

Like crushing ants...

Core disciples suspected to be at the True Immortal realm being no match—that could be tolerated... But over a dozen elders at the peak of True Immortal being killed with a single sword strike—that was truly unbearable!

Just how strong is he?

Ridiculous that I kept thinking he was about the same as me...

Trembling uncontrollably, Liu Lujie's teeth chattered.

To be honest, he was starting to doubt life itself.

He looked up again at "I Am Very Low-Key" surrounded by the crowd, and saw him continuing to fight with the others.

He seemed completely unaffected by killing over a dozen elders, and maybe... he didn't even know they were elders!

To him, ordinary people truly had no sense of existence!

...

"So many people..."

As the other party guessed, Zhang Xuan indeed hadn't realized they were elders.

They wore the same clothes as inner sect disciples and looked only about twenty years old—how could he believe they were elders?

Originally, taking it slow would have been fine, but this physical body had limited true qi. If he didn't kill these people quickly, more would gather, and he might actually lose!

If he lost, he wouldn't get the money... and he might even lose his own thirty-two Sword Pavilion Coins!

That was his entire fortune...

He absolutely couldn't let that happen!

So, he could no longer let them stall for time!

One-on-one duels...

Forget it!

Idle chatter...

Forget that too!

Whoever you are, if you can withstand my attack, we can duel; if not, I'll just kill you!

As for Elder Mu and the others... in his eyes, killing them was no different from killing ordinary disciples—one strike each, at most these few were more lively.

"I've already used a third of my true qi; I need to speed up..."

He looked up and saw that the crowd had grown from seven or eight hundred to four or five thousand. As time passed, more inner sect disciples would surely flood in—he couldn't afford to delay any longer!

Whoosh!

His body turned into a blur, and Zhang Xuan moved even faster.

...

"Even Elder Mu is no match; it's almost impossible to find a flaw. We should go back quickly, or the elders will be angry..."

After the shock, Liu Lujie said.

"Yeah," Wang Jiandong nodded.

The situation was now beyond their control; staying would only make them a laughingstock.

They swayed and were about to leave the hall and the Divine Connection Hall when a sword beam flew from the crowd.

Thud! Thud!

Their throats ached, and Liu Lujie and Wang Jiandong's vision went dark. Their heads fell to the ground again, bouncing like balls.

Damn it...

Three times already...

Tears streamed down their faces.

What the hell did they do to deserve this... getting their heads chopped off three times in a row.

What a damn joke!

Since they started practicing swordsmanship, nothing had happened for years, but in the twenty minutes since this "I Am Very Low-Key" appeared, they had "died" three times...

The two experts felt ice-cold and utterly frustrated.

Their consciousness dissipated in the Divine Connection Hall and returned to their room. They saw Elder Mu and the others sitting silently on stools, the room so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Elder..."

They stood up.

Only then did the elders react.

"Killed by that guy?"

"Seems so..."

"How could it be so fast?"

"I didn't react..."

"Neither did I..."

...

Over a dozen elders all twitched their mouths, as if they had seen a ghost.

They were all True Immortal realm experts. Even if their sword techniques couldn't match the genius core disciples, after years of immersion, both their strength and understanding of the sword were far beyond ordinary. Even at the same Ancient Sage First Layer, they were not opponents inner disciples could contend with!

And now... before they could even finish a sentence, their heads were chopped off...

They all doubted life!

Elder Mu especially wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He had just confidently said that Liu Lujie was too weak to stop that guy, and that he would easily handle it... but before he could finish speaking, he was killed...

How embarrassing!

In all his years as an elder, he had never been so humiliated!

"What do we do now?"

After a long silence, an elder looked over.

"This..."

Elder Mu hesitated, then turned to Liu Lujie: "What's this person's name?"

"I Am Very Low-Key."

Liu Lujie nodded.

"Low-key?" Clutching his chest, Elder Mu felt his whole body convulse and almost fainted.

A single person challenging the entire inner sect, causing such a commotion, even killing elders...

Low-key...

Why did that word sound so grating?

"Don't tell anyone we were here..."

Suppressing his urge to explode, Elder Mu stood up.

"Not here?" Liu Lujie was shocked.

Did that mean... you're not going to handle it either?

"Let's go..."

With that, Elder Mu and the others turned and left, disappearing from the courtyard in an instant, as if they had never been there.

"Senior Brother..." Wang Jiandong's face turned green.

"Elder Mu had no choice... As elders, they should have handled this, but they were killed. Now they can only pretend not to know; otherwise... how could they go on living?"

Liu Lujie smiled bitterly.

It wasn't that they didn't want to handle it, but they really couldn't!

A dignified elder, killed by a disciple of the same level... if word got out, they would die of shame!

...

"Are we really not going to do anything?"

On the back of a flying sacred beast, the elder who had spoken earlier couldn't help but ask the silent Elder Mu ahead.

"Of course not. Now we go to the Sword Pavilion Pavilion to check on this 'I Am Very Low-Key' and see what's going on."

Elder Mu shook his head.

"The Sword Pavilion Pavilion is where the sect controls the Divine Connection Hall. It can indeed find the person's exact location and position, but... we're just inner sect elders with too low authority to access that information!"

The elder who asked paused and said.

If the Divine Connection Jade Talisman represents a branch line into a household, then the Sword Pavilion Pavilion is the server of this local network.

Finding the server can indeed trace the other party's exact IP, but since the Lingyun Sword Pavilion uses the Divine Connection Hall format, the other party's identity is confidential!

They were just inner sect elders, not qualified to inquire!

Even the sect master couldn't easily investigate, otherwise... it would easily cause unrest among the sect members and lead to irreparable losses.

After all, only by concealing one's identity in duels could one fight without psychological burden or worry about the influence of reputation. Exposing this to everyone would directly collapse the entire Lingyun Sword Pavilion Divine Connection Hall.

"I don't need to get his exact information..." Elder Mu shook his head. "I just need to know his specific strength!"

"Specific strength?"

Activating the Divine Connection Jade Talisman requires blood recognition, so one's true strength can also be detected, and very accurately.

"Are you trying to... confirm whether he's really an inner sect disciple?"

Someone caught on.

"Yes. With such high swordsmanship, I suspect some core disciple is playing a joke... If his cultivation hasn't reached the Void Immortal realm, then he's a genuine inner sect disciple, and we won't interfere further!"

Elder Mu said.

Everyone understood.

Right.

If he were a core disciple, their inaction would have a huge impact on the entire inner sect.

If he were an inner sect disciple, though embarrassing, at least an inner sect disciple losing to another inner sect disciple... wouldn't be too disgraceful!

The loss could even be recovered.

If they later told other disciples that inner sect disciples could also train to such strength, it might even spark a greater cultivation frenzy.

The flying sacred beast quickly arrived at the Sword Pavilion Pavilion, and Elder Mu handed over his elder token representing his identity.

"I want to check the specific strength of a person with the alias 'I Am Very Low-Key.'"

Taking a deep breath, Elder Mu stated his purpose.

Buzz!

A beam of light flashed on the wall before them, and a line of text appeared—Peak of Shattering Void!

"Ancient Sage Fourth Layer peak?"

"So he really is... an inner sect disciple?"

"The minimum requirement for core disciples is the Void Immortal realm. Peak of Shattering Void clearly hasn't reached that..."

"When did the inner sect produce such a powerful person?"

...

Everyone was in an uproar.

Given how strong he was, they had suspected that some extraordinary core disciple was causing trouble. Seeing this, they fully understood—he was a genuine inner sect disciple!

But... how could the inner sect have someone this strong, and they, as elders, not know?

...

"How is it? Did you find the medicine seller?"

In Bai Ye's courtyard, Bai Feng saw Bai Ruanqing return and approached her.

He still needed to take care of the old master, so after sending the girl to the inner sect disciple trading ground, he had come straight back.

"No..."

Blushing, Bai Ruanqing shook her head.

"What happened?"

Seeing her clearly off, Bai Feng couldn't help asking.

"It's... just now, an inner sect disciple issued a challenge, and I entered their Divine Connection Hall to compete..."

Bai Ruanqing recounted what had happened.

"You say... you used the Sinking Snow Sword Art I taught you and were killed in one move?"

Bai Feng's eyes widened.

"Yes..."

Bai Ruanqing looked embarrassed: "His sword made me feel that the so-called ultimate Sinking Snow Sword Art was utterly useless..."

"How is that possible? This sword art, even if not the most famous in the Lingyun Sword Pavilion, when fully executed, should not be something an inner sect disciple can withstand..."

Bai Feng frowned, paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do you have an inner sect Divine Connection Jade Talisman? I want to go see for myself!"
