Wang Ruoxie naturally knew that Fan Wenbo was clearly looking for an excuse to punish him.

Although he didn't know when he had offended this person, he would never allow the other party to slander him by reversing black and white.

"You and I have never met before, how could I have offended you."

Fan Wenbo replied indifferently.

"Since I have never offended you, then why do you pin the charge of harming an elder on me upon first meeting?"

Wang Ruoxie's gaze turned to Fan Wenbo, questioning him again.

"How dare you speak to me like this."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Fan Wenbo's expression darkened, and he shouted coldly.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Wang Ruoxie laughed indifferently and replied.

He was well aware that Fan Wenbo was completely targeting him, even going so far as to use the identity of an elder to slander him, so he would not let him off just because he compromised.

If that's the case, then why should he swallow his anger and allow himself to be bullied?

"Hmph, someone who doesn't understand respect. Just for this alone, I can convict you."

Seeing Wang Ruoxie so boldly contradicting him, Fan Wenbo snorted with an unpleasant expression.

"You are a sect elder, with a high position and authority, while I am just an ordinary Outer Disciple, naturally you can convict me however you like."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes showed a ridiculing look as he sneered at Fan Wenbo.

Implicitly, it meant Fan Wenbo was oppressing him, an Outer Disciple, and arbitrarily convicting him due to his status as an elder.

"Audacious, as a sect elder, I've always acted impartially and never oppressed any sect disciple, how could you defame me so casually."

Fan Wenbo shouted fiercely.

By this time, quite a few people had been drawn over by their voices.

"Who is this guy? Just an Outer Disciple, yet he dares to speak to Elder Fan like this."

"He must be a madman unaware of danger, obviously tired of living."

The crowd watched Wang Ruoxie with strange eyes, whispering to each other.

"I know him, he is the Wang Ruoxie who took first place in this year's entrance examination."

"Is it him? The one with Nine-star Swordsmanship Talent?"

"So what if it's him, daring to speak to Elder Fan like this is just asking for death."

Many people recognized Wang Ruoxie, but in their opinion, Wang Ruoxie contradicting Fan Wenbo like this was clearly seeking his own death.

Although the Celestial Sword Sect does not allow members to kill each other, the same does not apply to the elders.

If a disciple dares to defy an elder, the elder has the right to punish them arbitrarily, even killing them without suffering any penalty.

Of course, if an elder kills a disciple for no reason, they will still be heavily punished, which is why Fan Wenbo immediately charged Wang Ruoxie with a crime.

The crowd never expected Wang Ruoxie to be so bold to dare mock Fan Wenbo.

It should be known that although Fan Wenbo is a regular elder of the Celestial Sword Sect, his status is noble, and with his Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm cultivation, not even the Core Disciples or True Disciples dare to offend him easily.

And Wang Ruoxie is just an Outer Disciple. Despite some talent, his status in the Celestial Sword Sect is far inferior to Fan Wenbo's.

In other words, Fan Wenbo has complete control over Wang Ruoxie's life and death, and even if he kills him without any reason, he would only receive a light punishment at most.

After all, the sect would not trouble an elder too much for a deceased Outer Disciple.

"Then I have to ask, in what way have I, Wang Ruoxie, been so wrong?"

Wang Ruoxie's eyes flickered with a hint of coldness, saying coldly, "I came to be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, but you ignored me. When I spoke again, you claimed I deliberately disturbed your Secret Technique cultivation, even absurdly placing the charge of harming an elder on me."

"Moreover, no matter what Secret Technique, when cultivating, senses are basically shut down. Not to mention that I just raised my voice slightly, even if I shouted loudly in your ear, you might not hear it, let alone disturb your cultivation."

"No matter how much you try to argue, you can't change the fact that you've defamed and insulted a sect elder."

Fan Wenbo's eyes flashed with a cold smile before he continued, "According to the sect's rules, I can completely destroy your cultivation and then expel you from the sect."

As Fan Wenbo's words fell, everyone trembled in their hearts. For a Martial Cultivator, having their cultivation destroyed is simply a fate worse than death.

"So ruthless."

A chilling murder intent emerged in Wang Ruoxie's heart. He had no grievance with Fan Wenbo, it was even their first meeting today, yet the other party wished to destroy his cultivation and expel him from the sect.

If his cultivation were to be destroyed and he lost the protection of the Celestial Sword Sect, Leng Ao would be the first not to let him go.

Moreover, the Zhu Family in Royal City and the Blood Evil Sect have always wanted him dead. If he becomes a cripple without cultivation, he would undoubtedly perish.

"However, considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I can spare your cultivation, and even let you stay in the Celestial Sword Sect."

At this moment, Fan Wenbo continued to speak to Wang Ruoxie, "But you must voluntarily go to the Yang Family, admit to killing Yang Hongwu, and then kowtow three times before Yang Hongwu's tablet. After that, your grievances with the Yang Family will be written off, what do you say?"

Upon hearing Fan Wenbo's words, Wang Ruoxie finally understood why the other party was targeting him for no reason.

Back then, in the second round of the entrance exam, he killed Yang Hongwu, and it was understandable for the Yang Family to seek revenge.

He just didn't expect Fan Wenbo to cause trouble for him because of Yang Hongwu.

After all, the Yang Family, where Yang Hongwu belonged, was one of the Six Great Clans of Royal City, but Fan Wenbo was also an elder of the Celestial Sword Sect. Even the patriarch of the Yang Family could not order him to do anything.

Moreover, the Celestial Sword Sect had long established the rule that if someone is killed during exams, the forces behind them must not seek revenge, otherwise, they'd be considered enemies of the Celestial Sword Sect.

As a sect elder, Fan Wenbo was naturally aware of this, which is why he was forcing Wang Ruoxie to voluntarily go to the Yang Family.

"What if I don't go?"

Wang Ruoxie stared coldly at Fan Wenbo and spoke.

He knew better than to believe Fan Wenbo's words, voluntarily going to the Yang Family to admit he killed Yang Hongwu. If he really went, he would definitely face the Yang Family's ruthless revenge.

Not to mention that even if he kowtowed three times before Yang Hongwu's tablet, the Yang Family would not let him go, even if they would, he would certainly not do such a thing.

In both past and present life, apart from his parents, he would not kneel to anyone.

Moreover, Yang Hongwu wanted his life, so he naturally could kill his opponent, and he didn't feel wrong for doing so.

If the Yang Family wishes to avenge Yang Hongwu, he would naturally accompany them to the end.

"I've given you the chance, yet you don't know how to cherish it. Since that's the case, I'll first destroy your cultivation and then personally deliver you to the Yang Family."

Fan Wenbo sneered and said.

As he finished speaking, a terrifying aura swept out from his body, immediately engulfing Wang Ruoxie's entire body.

Instantly, Wang Ruoxie felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him. Fan Wenbo was a sect elder and also a Martial Cultivator at the Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm; even with his current strength, it was still difficult to resist.
