"Damn it!! Damn it!! This despicable pair, they are utterly shameless!!"
Yu Yuntian's face twisted, a chilling aura instantly surging around him.
The actions of Ye Xun'er and Ling Tian at this moment were undoubtedly a resounding slap to his face in front of all the Holy Land disciples.
After all, before this, all Ten Thousand Swords disciples had believed that this granddaughter of the Grand Elder, the Sect Leader's True Disciple, was Yu Yuntian's designated Dao companion.
But now?
It was just so sudden... Senior Brother Yu's head seemed to be glowing a bit green?
"Oh?" Sensing the cold aura emanating from the young man beside him, Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Interesting.
This Ling Tian truly lives up to being a Son of Fate; a few villainous stepping stones always appear around him.
Looking at this gray-robed youth, he's ordinary and unremarkable, with no luck to speak of, yet his status seems somewhat prominent.
A typical cannon fodder character who wouldn't survive three chapters.
However, given Ling Tian's enduring and restrained nature, he probably wouldn't dare to openly offend him.
Lost his mother in childhood, had his Dantian Sea dug out at ten, a bitter life lacking love.
Ling Xiao sighed inwardly.When he looked at Ling Tian and the yellow-robed girl again, his eyes were completely calm.
If he didn't intervene, this Fate-Bearing Woman would inevitably develop a romantic storyline with Ling Tian.
After all, even in a fantasy world, the principle of maintaining distance between men and women was common sense.
Since she dared to actively help Ling Tian heal his injuries in front of all the elders and disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land, she probably fancied this junior brother in her heart.
After all, Ling Tian's template was that of an aloof, peerless sword cultivator beloved by all.
Now he had further proven his talent on the Immortal Path. Which woman wouldn't be moved by such a handsome, powerful, and monstrous young master?
But this way...
Ling Xiao chuckled inwardly. Right now, Ling Tian was probably somewhat confused.
What exactly did his mother say before she died?
Moreover, his repeated acts of protection were actually meant to create an illusion in Ling Tian's mind: that Ling Xiao cared about him deep down.
It was just that, for some reason, he had to whip and humiliate him.
As for the matter of the Dantian Sea, that was even easier to explain.
Now, Ling Xiao just needed an opportunity. He had ten thousand reasons to fool... no, to prove that he was the most righteous, most loving older brother in the world!
Doing it this way would be like subduing one Son of Fate and getting a Fate-Bearing Woman as a bonus?
Of course, if this Ling Tian remained ungrateful in the end, that would be a different story.
This kid's character was enduring and stubborn, and his innate talent was truly terrifying.
Even without a Dantian Sea, he still comprehended the Sword Dao and achieved a peerless sword bearing. If he had a Dantian Sea...
Hiss!
With his template,2000 Luck Points was probably just the beginning.
You annoying little brother, you'd better not disappoint me.
Otherwise, you can rest assured and go. I'll take good care of your future wife and such.
"Senior Sister... It's... it's really healed now." Finally, Ling Tian struggled to pull his hand out of Ye Xun'er's jade-like grasp and walked towards the Holy Master of Ten Thousand Swords with a flustered expression.
"Holy Master..."
"Hmm! Good. The Ancient God-Slaying Sword hasn't appeared in the world for several hundred years. Xun'er has already told you about the origins of this sword, right?" The Holy Master of Ten Thousand Swords nodded slightly. When his eyes opened and closed, sword intent seemed to tear through the space around him.
"Yes!" Ling Tian's expression also turned somewhat grave.
A trace of Immortal Karma.
This thing could be a big deal or a small one,depending entirely on the steadfastness of Ling Tian's Sword Heart.
Of course, if he got scared now, it definitely wouldn't be steady.
Those who cultivate the sword never retreat, even unto death!
"Good. In that case, from today onward, you are the new Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land. All sect resources are yours to enjoy! Everyone... does anyone object?" The Holy Master of Ten Thousand Swords shouted coldly. The inherited Dao Artifact had been taken by Ling Tian, and his peerless sword bearing was undeniably displayed. If he still quibbled over a mere title, it would seem far too petty.
"I object!!"
But the moment the Holy Master's voice fell, Yu Yuntian, his face flushed red, suddenly stepped forward from the crowd.
"Hmm?" The gazes of all the Holy Land elders and disciples instantly converged on him.
Is this guy thinking with the wrong head?
How dare he jump out to seek death at a time like this?
The fact that Junior Brother Ling Tian hasn't drawn his sword to cut you down is already a mercy. Besides, his brother Ling Xiao is still here right now.
The former might have a gentle and mild temperament, but who in the Sacred Dynasty hasn't heard of Ling Xiao's fearsome reputation?
Forget you being just a True Disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land; that guy is ruthless enough to kill even his own fellow True Disciples...
Many disciples' eyes immediately flashed with mockery. It was clear that Yu Yuntian was likely to get his comeuppance today.
"Hmm? Nonsense!" The Holy Master's expression turned stern, and he glanced nervously at Ling Xiao.
Honestly, even he, a Divine Emperor expert, was afraid that this devil Ling Xiao might not play by the rules.
If he found a reason to kill Yu Yuntian, probably no one could protect him.
"Holy Master, Ling Tian clearly didn't pull out that sword by himself! Why should he get to sit in the Holy Son's position?" Yu Yuntian's heart was already filled with resentment. Especially since Ling Tian had stolen the spotlight today and was being intimate with Ye Xun'er, it had completely turned him into a laughingstock.
He couldn't swallow this anger.
Moreover, what he said was completely reasonable. If Ling Tian had truly reached the peak of the Immortal Path and drawn the God-Slaying Sword entirely on his own, he would have nothing to say.
But he had clearly benefited from Ling Xiao's help; they had obtained this opportunity together. So why did none of the Holy Master or the elders object?
Yu Yuntian's family was originally a famous cultivation clan in the Eastern Territories of the Sacred Dynasty.
Although their foundation wasn't as deep as the Ling Clan's, the clan still had two Divine King experts.
This was also the reason he could securely hold the position of the Sect Leader's head personal disciple in the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land.
But...
Did he think that just because he had the Yu Family backing him, he could do whatever he wanted in the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land?
Forget the Ling Clan; just the powerful figures Ling Tian was now connected to were far beyond what Yu Yuntian could compare to.
Ling Tian himself was also the Holy Master's personal disciple, personally entrusted by Emperor Ling.
Furthermore, Ye Xun'er was the granddaughter of Grand Elder Jian Nan. The fondness she was showing towards Ling Tian was obvious to anyone.
It was pitiful that Yu Yuntian, even at this point, insisted on rushing forward to deliver himself as a target.
Who was to blame?
Of course, it was his original character setting.
If this ascent of the Immortal Path proceeded so smoothly and peacefully, with all the disciples behaving harmoniously and friendly, wouldn't the plot be utterly boring?
At times like this, a villainous stepping stone like Yu Yuntian was needed to step forward and get slapped by the Son of Fate!
"This..." A trace of hesitation flashed in the Holy Master's eyes, especially since the Ancient Si Xie Sword was still in Ling Xiao's hand.
Ling Tian obtaining the God-Slaying Sword was justifiable; after all, he was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land.
But if Ling Xiao took the Si Xie Sword away, it would be a tremendous loss for the Holy Land.
"Heh heh, this senior brother seems to be saying that you could insert the sword back! Alright then, I'll give both swords to you. If you can insert them back to the peak of the Immortal Path, we won't want them either."
Ling Tian remained silent, clearly unsure how to refute.
But at that moment, Ling Xiao suddenly walked up to Yu Yuntian and said with a faint smile.
