Wang Ruoxie's gaze shifted to the person speaking.

"Shao Yongyuan."

Wang Ruoxie's mouth uttered a cold voice.

Shao Yongyuan, one of the five Supreme Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect, with cultivation at the late stage of the Ninth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm.

It is rumored that Shao Yongyuan broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Element Transformation Realm at the age of thirty.

Now, he has lived for over a century, indicating that his cultivation has been stuck at the Ninth Layer for at least seventy years.

Although he has never broken through to the Innate Realm, the accumulation of seventy years has elevated Shao Yongyuan's strength to a terrifying level.

Even among Half-Step Innate levels, Shao Yongyuan's strength would be considered top-tier.

Of course, with Wang Ruoxie's current cultivation power, he has no fear of the opponent.

"You wretch, I didn't expect you to be so tough. You stayed in the Pill and Artifact Hall for three months and came out completely unscathed."

Shao Yongyuan looked coldly at Wang Ruoxie and said.

Three months ago, Wang Ruoxie severely injured his disciple Liu Zhe and even humiliated him verbally.

At that time, if not for the appearance of Xiao Ningyue, who had been promoted to a True Disciple, he would have killed the opponent on the spot.

Originally, he thought Wang Ruoxie, being punished to serve as a menial worker in the Pill and Artifact Hall for three months, would never survive.

Yet, unexpectedly, Wang Ruoxie appeared not only unscathed but had even elevated his cultivation from the Third Layer to the Seventh Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, a leap of four small realms, across two levels.

Although he knew Wang Ruoxie possessed a Nine-star Swordsmanship Talent, swordsmanship talent did not significantly enhance cultivation, as lineage is one of the main factors determining cultivation speed.

However, as far as he knew, Wang Ruoxie's lineage was a poor Yellow Level Bloodline of the Third Grade.

It should be noted that even an Earth Level Third Grade Bloodline would not allow such terrifying cultivation speed.

In the hundreds of years of Celestial Sword Sect's history, no genius with such cultivation speed has ever been recorded.

"This child must die."

A trace of icy killing intent flashed in Shao Yongyuan's eyes.

The more excellent Wang Ruoxie was, the more determined he was to kill him.

Such a genius—no, genius is no longer enough to describe this child; he is a complete monster—if allowed to grow, how would there be a place for him in the Celestial Sword Sect in the future?

No matter what, he must nip the opponent in the bud, lest he rear a threat.

"You want to kill me."

Wang Ruoxie naturally felt the killing intent in Shao Yongyuan's gaze, and he sneered in his heart.

If it were him before, he might indeed not be able to contend with the opponent, but now, if they truly fought, the one who died would definitely not be him.

"Elder Shao, this beast has no respect for elders and dared to harm me, a sect elder. Please enforce justice for me."

Fan Wenbo, clutching his severed hand, walked up to Shao Yongyuan and said with a sinister expression.

"Rest assured, this wretch won't survive today."

Shao Yongyuan nodded and replied indifferently.

Hearing the conversation between the two elders, the crowd looked at Wang Ruoxie with strange eyes.

Even Bing Ling and Song Qing revealed a bitter expression; this guy stirred up too much trouble. Offending an ordinary elder like Fan Wenbo was one thing, but even Supreme Elder Shao Yongyuan had a profound hatred for him and wanted to kill him quickly.

It is likely that never in the history of the Celestial Sword Sect has there been a disciple like this one, who, not long after joining the sect, killed two fellow disciples and even caused an elder to sever his own hand.

What left them helpless the most was that even the Supreme Elder now had murderous intent towards him.

They even wanted to ask how such a troublemaker had survived up until now.

However, they did not know that Wang Ruoxie never proactively sought trouble; it was just that those blind idiots were too numerous and often provoked him first.

Of course, he never feared trouble, at most just needing to expend some effort to resolve these troubles.

"You wretch, not only do you kill fellow disciples, but you also dare to harm sect elders. It seems you have no regard for sect laws at all. I even suspect you might be a spy sent by another sect."

Shao Yongyuan said coldly to Wang Ruoxie.

"Heh... add guilt with baseless accusations, and what can you do? Each one of them wanted to kill me, so why shouldn't I kill them in return?"

Wang Ruoxie sneered and replied, "According to you, since Fan Wenbo is a sect elder, I should just let him kill me without resistance, utterly ridiculous."

"Even if it's you, Supreme Elder who wants to kill me, Wang Ruoxie, it won't be that easy."

The crowd trembled at Wang Ruoxie's words; this guy was indeed arrogant and domineering, unyielding even in front of a Supreme Elder.

Many even felt a surge of hot blood, as if they had turned into Wang Ruoxie, thinking, "Even if you're a Supreme Elder, you have to pay a price to kill me; we might as well fight to the death."

Naturally, Shao Yongyuan's expression turned extremely unpleasant, and then he laughed in anger, "A dying person's final madness."

"Indeed, someone will die today, but who that will be is uncertain."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly and replied.

"Now, let me show you who will be the one to die."

Shao Yongyuan shouted coldly, then his figure suddenly trembled and appeared in front of Wang Ruoxie, immediately delivering a palm strike.

"Wang Ruoxie is finished, Supreme Elder is a Half-Step Innate level expert, no matter how strong he is, he cannot match him, he is doomed."

The crowd thought to themselves, however, this guy was too arrogant and foolish, confronting the mighty Supreme Elder without knowing how to endure, essentially courting death.

If they were in his place, no matter how humiliated they felt, they would certainly endure, as life is more important than anything else.

Facing the incoming palm, a cold gleam flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes.

Since they all wanted his life, why not kill a Supreme Elder today and leave the Celestial Sword Sect?

The world is vast, there is always a place for one to settle.

"Elder Shao, please show mercy."

Suddenly, a voice was heard, and everyone looked towards it, instantly taken aback.

They saw a man in a golden robe walking in, and as people of the Celestial Sword Sect, they recognized him at once as the Sect Leader, Chu Li.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Without any hesitation, everyone respectfully greeted Chu Li.

"Elder Shao, could it be that you also want to protect this wretch?"

Shao Yongyuan furrowed his brow and said to Chu Li.

"Elder Shao, Wang Ruoxie cannot be killed, and I will explain the reason to you later."

Chu Li said to Shao Yongyuan.

Then he turned his gaze to Wang Ruoxie, smiled, and said, "Wang Ruoxie, I didn't expect that I underestimated your martial art aptitude. However, since your cultivation has already risen to the Seventh Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, I hereby announce that from now on, you will be the ninth True Disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect."

"What... Wang Ruoxie's cultivation has already broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Element Transformation Realm and entered the late stage?"

As Chu Li's words fell, the crowd was in an uproar.

What shocked them the most was that the Sect Leader publicly announced Wang Ruoxie's promotion to True Disciple.
