Ye Xiaofan doesn’t mind accommodating people like Nalan Linyun, because here, it’s not just about power, but also ’connections’. Heavy Sword Peak holds significant weight in the Divine Sword Sect, now filled with numerous terrifying figures. Naturally, he won’t antagonize Nalan Linyun for a momentary show of force.

Dugu Nan had also once told him that in this cultivation world full of schemes and deception, sometimes it’s better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. Saying a few agreeable words can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Although Nalan Linyun isn’t exactly a sinister petty person, he’s not far off. To argue over reputation with such people and put oneself in danger is really not worthwhile. Ye Xiaofan understands the principle of fearing not the enemy’s intimidation, but the petty person stabbing you in the back.

Seeing the other person suddenly become so tactful, Nalan Linyun was quite pleased, and a hint of a disdainful smile spread across his face as he fell silent.

Not only Nalan Linyun, but even the dozen or so figures from Heavy Sword Peak beside him slightly shook their heads, their faces hanging with endless indifference.

"World-defying prodigy? They must be able to grow up first. The Sword Saint is at the end of his rope and won’t live much longer. I must see if the South Peak will still be as prosperous as it was back then." A True Self Realm expert from Heavy Sword Peak couldn’t help but murmur inwardly, eyes filled with a strong sense of disregard.

Clearly, the rumors of a world-defying prodigy with dual talents, which had spread like wildfire outside, didn’t seem to be taken seriously among some True Self Realm experts at Heavy Sword Peak.

In truth, the grudges between Heavy Sword Peak and South Peak, even with the Sword Saint on the verge of falling, hadn’t disappeared like imagined. Heavy Sword Peak’s people still harbored some rejection and targeting towards the Sword Saint’s successor, though it was more disdain than anything.

After all, South Peak’s position in the Divine Sword Sect is barely supported by the Sword Saint. Hence, the person before them holds a slight status within the sect, but once the Sword Saint falls, their status in the Divine Sword Sect would plummet instantly. When that time comes, any strong figure from the Divine Sword Sect could easily manipulate them.

No matter how prodigious you are, without strong backing in the Divine Sect, whether you can grow is questionable. Especially in the eyes of those stronger than them, terrifying talent is just paper talk; true strength is the real path.

The more powerful the cultivator, the more they respect current strength. Before the strength catches up, everything is empty talk.

Unless the talent is terrifying enough to make them deeply fear it, capable of presenting a clear threat.

However, evidently, Ye Xiaofan’s past deeds were shocking enough, yet still far from causing the True Self Realm experts to feel anxious. After all, sitting here in this world are beings with terrifying realms, including quite a few senior brothers and sisters at the seventh or eighth layer of True Self Realm or even higher.

For True Self Realm experts, attempting to crush that silhouette is as simple as crushing an ant. Even the spiritual essence peak cultivators, no matter how monstrous with dual talents, aren’t quite impressive before them. Such abnormal existences in the ’Main Battle Domain’ are indeed numerous; it’s a world where strength matters, and potential ultimately is just a reference.

"Is this the newly inducted Ye Xiaofan? The world-defying prodigy with dual talents, suspected of having a divine-level Martial Soul junior brother?"

"The Sword Saint’s successor, indeed very shocking, but unfortunately, born in the wrong era."

"And chose the wrong master sect, what a pity."

"The time left for them is indeed not much. Growing in such a short time is nearly impossible."

"Unless the Sword Saint could come back to life, otherwise, after leaving the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ there’s no place for them in the Divine Sword Sect."

"Of course, if he could enter the Self-Slaying Realm before leaving here, perhaps there’s a glimmer of hope."

Many terrifying figures from the Divine Sword Sect at True Self Realm glanced at those from Heavy Sword Peak, each shaking their heads secretly and sighing helplessly.

If only this junior brother had been born a few hundred years earlier, and under the Sword Saint’s peak years joined the sect, there would have been enough time for growth.

In the worst case, joining another Divine Peak in the Divine Sword Sect would have been a wise choice, at least ensuring a bright future, yet he happened to join the Sword Saint at the worst possible time.

Years later, once the Sword Saint falls, this person will find it difficult to walk within the Divine Sword Sect. The several Sword Peaks that had grudges with South Peak will not treat them kindly.

Moreover, a world-defying prodigy without guardians to protect their path has an extremely slim chance of growing by relying on themselves.

Little did they know, years later when they looked back on today’s thoughts, they would realize that the youth, who never had a guardian protecting their way, eventually walked a path with their own strength that left everyone in awe and envy.

But at least for now, in everyone’s eyes, even putting guardians aside, after the Sword Saint, it seems merely some unstable factors within the Divine Sword Sect are enough to make him die a hundred deaths within the sect.

Unless that person could enter the Self-Slaying Realm within the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’, but undoubtedly, that’s impossible. Now that the ’Main Battle Domain’ has opened early, it will naturally end early, so attempting to break through to ’Self-Slaying’ in such a short time only has one possibility—that their comprehension is similarly world-defying.

But so far, this person has not yet shown such comprehension talent to the extent that they are taken seriously.

Feeling the slightly indifferent gazes around him, Ye Xiaofan finally understood the words a certain senior sister had once said: Not every Divine Sword Sect disciple from the ’Battle Domain’ is as united as those from the ’Border City Battle Domain’.

Here.

Even Mo Shiyi and others felt the isolation directed towards Ye Xiaofan deeply by everyone.

These senior brothers and sisters seem unwilling to interact much with him. After all, befriending the Sword Saint’s successor means antagonizing his God Peak, like Heavy Sword Peak, which has grudges with the Sword Saint. It’s not worthwhile; comparatively, they prefer to choose Heavy Sword Peak.

More importantly, the person in front hasn’t reached a level worth engaging with, at least not yet.

Nalan Linyun, watching everyone’s attitude towards Ye Xiaofan, couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile. He didn’t believe that apart from the two people beside him and Shangguan Wan’er of Beast Peak, anyone else in the Divine Sword Sect would want to walk alongside him?

Even if there were, it’d at most be the group from ’Border City Battle Domain’, though this united group of senior brothers and sisters is indeed a terrifying force. They are ultimately just one Battle Domain’s worth and insignificant among a thousand Battle Domains.

Yet, as Nalan Linyun was secretly smug, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

"Ye Xiaofan, so you are here? You really made it hard for me to find you."

A figure in white clothing slowly walked forward, appearing extremely lazy with not a hint of a terrifying expert’s image.

However, the arrival of such a lazy youth caused everyone’s face to instantly change color.

Numerous True Self Realm cultivators of the Divine Sword Sect quickly stood up, hurriedly bowing to the figure: "Greetings, Junior Brother Luo."

"We meet, Junior Brother Luo."

The uniform voice resounded across the Spirit Peak, causing Ye Xiaofan and Nangong Jianchen to hesitate slightly.

What was even more shocking for the two was the appearance of the figure, causing many from the higher regions and some Self-Slaying Realm cultivators to also rise, giving a slight bow to the white-clothed youth whose cultivation was lower than theirs.

Those Self-Slaying Realm experts at a distance, though silent, all bore faces full of respect.

Even Mo Shiyi, seemingly surprised, eyes wide with shock and surprise, uttered: "It’s actually him?"

From everyone’s reaction and Mo Shiyi’s expression, it wasn’t difficult for Ye Xiaofan to discern.

The visitor seemed to have an extremely terrifying background, certainly more than just a simple shocking mighty presence.
