"Langbi, have you not eaten?"

Senior Brother Chu suddenly spoke in a cold voice, releasing a chilling aura that made the black-robed youth shiver.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Chu, I will definitely get things done."

The young man in black robes spoke with some fear, then his gaze toward Yi Shuihan became increasingly ferocious.

You mere mortal, how dare you embarrass me in front of Senior Brother Chu Fan and Junior Sister Zhen Lan! If I don't make you experience a fate worse than death, I'm not a scoundrel.

Suddenly, a sword appeared in Langbi's hand, and then he pointed it at Yi Shuihan. The sword turned into a streak of light and flew straight towards him.

The attack didn't target any vital organs, only the arms, but the force of the strike was clearly intended to cripple both of Yi Shuihan's arms.

"Storage bag!"

Yi Shuihan noticed a small pouch on Langbi's waist. He had previously thought it was just a decoration, but it wasn't until Langbi took out his sword and he felt the spatial fluctuations that he realized this thing had appeared.

"That guy called Senior Brother Chu, the ring on his hand should be a spatial ring, and Junior Sister Zhen's bracelet should also be a spatial bracelet. It seems that this guy called Langbi is the lowest in status among the three, and can only afford a storage bag! No wonder he has such a lot of resentment. This name is really well chosen, he really is a Langbi."

If Lang Bi knew that Yi Shuihan was thinking about this while he was launching his attack, he would probably vomit blood.

"Tremble, you mere mortals, how dare you be so disrespectful to immortals."

Lang Bi laughed arrogantly, expecting to see the despair in Yi Shuihan's eyes after losing both arms, but the next moment, he was dumbfounded.

Yi Shuihan reached out and gently caught Lang Bi's flying sword in his hand, displaying the demeanor of a master.

"The Spiritual Finger, do you see it?"

"Click"

With a gentle exertion, the flying sword broke in two and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this flying sword to be of such poor quality," Yi Shuihan shook his head, looking regretful. "How about you try again? I'll be gentler next time?"

"Try again? Screw you! That's a brand new flying sword that I begged my master for a whole month to get."

Langbi looked at the flying sword broken in two on the ground with a heavy heart, and he was completely devastated.

At this point, it would be foolish to treat Yi Shuihan as an ordinary person, and clearly everyone present was of sound mind.

"Greetings, senior. We are disciples of the Lingxiao Sect. Our master is Ling Yunzi. Please forgive us for our earlier offense."

Chu Fan appeared polite on the surface, but in his heart he had already cursed Yi Shuihan to the core. He was clearly a highly skilled cultivator, yet he had been pretending to be an ordinary person. Where was the basic trust between people?

He completely forgot that Yi Shuihan hadn't said a word from the very beginning, and the reason they thought Yi Shuihan was an ordinary person was simply because they couldn't see through his cultivation level. Yi Shuihan dared to say that he was truly not pretending.

Zhen Lan looked at Yi Shuihan with a mixture of shame and anger. The thought that she had actually spoken up for Yi Shuihan filled her with rage. "Damn liar, he tricked me out of my sympathy!"

"Lingxiao Sect? Ling Yunzi has never heard of it."

Yi Shuihan spoke calmly.

"Senior, please don't joke. My Lingyun Sect is the number one sect in the Kunxu Secret Realm. My master, Lingyunzi, is a tribulation-crossing expert who is just one step away from entering the Immortal Realm."

Chu Fan clearly didn't believe Yi Shuihan's words and emphasized his backing again, especially when talking about his master Ling Yunzi, he held his head high.

Even though Chu Fan could tell from Yi Shuihan's earlier move that the other party's cultivation level might be higher than theirs, he remained calm because he had a powerful backer.

After the great changes in the world, becoming an immortal has become a legend, and transcending tribulation is currently the most powerful cultivation level. He doesn't believe he will encounter a great master who has transcended tribulation here.

In Chu Fan's view, Yi Shuihan was at most one realm higher than them, namely the Nascent Soul stage, and Chu Fan believed that he would reach the Nascent Soul stage sooner or later.

Who gave you such confidence? You're just a mere tribulation cultivator, someone I could take down with a single breath.

Besides, it's your master who's at the Tribulation Transcending stage, not you. You're talking as if you're actually at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Yi Shuihan looked at Chu Fan with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, thinking that this guy had an extremely high opinion of himself.

However, the Kunxu Secret Realm! What kind of place is that?

"You just said this is the cave dwelling of the Blackwater True Lord?"

Ignoring Chu Fan's boasting, Yi Shuihan looked at Zhen Lan and asked.

"Reporting to Senior, this is indeed the cave dwelling of True Lord Blackwater."

"And who is this Blackwater True Monarch? Is his cultivation level comparable to yours?"

Asking questions when you don't understand is a traditional virtue inherited by Yi Shuihan.

Clearly, Blackwater True Lord was extremely famous, but when Yi Shuihan asked this question, Chu Fan and the other two had the same expression: as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

The three looked at each other, and finally Zhen Lan gritted her teeth and said, "True Lord Blackwater was a top expert in ancient times, before the world changed drastically. It is said that he was an elder of the Cloud Peak Heavenly Palace. At that time, the Cloud Peak Heavenly Palace was ruled by the Cloud Emperor and was one of the five top powers. Other forces that were as famous as the Cloud Peak Heavenly Palace included the Yanzong Sect, the Sword Sect, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Pill Tower. In ancient times, only those who had reached the level of Heavenly Immortal were qualified to be called True Lords."

Chapter 612, Chu Fan's Trump Card

"Celestial being?"

Hearing this answer, Yi Shuihan was not surprised. After all, he had always considered the owner of this cave to be stronger than him from the beginning. And a Celestial Immortal, according to the system's standards, was also at the Silver level, only a few stars higher than him.

Although Yi Shuihan's cultivation level was not that of a Celestial Immortal, his combat strength was in no way afraid of these so-called Celestial Immortals. Therefore, he was not particularly moved by Zhen Lan's description.

While speaking, Zhen Lan kept a close eye on Yi Shuihan's expression. She noticed that the seriousness in Yi Shuihan's eyes when he heard about the Blackwater True Lord was genuine, indicating that he truly did not know these things. What surprised Zhen Lan the most was that she found Yi Shuihan's attitude towards the Blackwater True Lord to be disrespectful, as if he regarded him as someone of the same level.

How could this be? I must be mistaken. Could he be a celestial being?

"...In ancient times, only those who reached the Golden Immortal level could be called Emperor. It is said that there are even higher realms above the Golden Immortal level, but they have never appeared."

After Zhen Lan finished speaking, she remained silent, awaiting Yi Shuihan's decision. The situation was now clear: although Yi Shuihan was alone, he held a complete advantage.

"Alright, since you spoke up for me earlier, I won't make things difficult for you. You can do as you please, stay or leave as you please. I won't take anything you find here from you. As for those two, they can stay and keep me company for a while."

Yi Shuihan's words delighted Zhen Lan, but also caused Chu Fan and Lang Bi's expressions to change drastically. What did he mean by staying with him? He clearly didn't want to let them go!

“Senior, I didn’t attack you just now. He was the one who attacked. Just let him stay. I can pretend nothing happened.”

Chu Fan sold Lang Bi out with just one sentence.

"No! I didn't mean to! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I offended you, senior. I deserve to die! Please, senior, just let me go!"

With a mournful face, Langbi knelt down directly in front of Yi Shuihan and begged for mercy.

"Didn't you hear me? I said you two stay here."

Yi Shuihan repeated himself, showing no sign of changing his mind.

Lang Bi was still unharmed, his face pale, looking at Yi Shuihan with despair. Chu Fan, however, had a fierce glint in his eyes and did something that left Yi Shuihan speechless.

"I won't kill her as long as you let me go."

A dagger emitting a green light appeared in Chu Fan's hand at some point, and he held it to Zhen Lan's neck.

"Senior brother, you?"

Zhen Lan stared at Chu Fan in astonishment, never expecting that her senior brother, who had always been so obedient to her, would do such a thing.

"Shut up, you bitch. If it weren't for your master, I would have forced myself on you long ago. I've done so much for you, even bringing you here to search for treasure. Now it's time for you to pay for what you've done for me."

Chu Fan shouted loudly at Zhen Lan.

"Are you mistaken? She's much closer to you than I am to you. Do you think I'd let you go because of her? Kill me if you want. I'll avenge her after you kill her and make sure you die a horrible death."

Yi Shuihan said expressionlessly. To be honest, he didn't expect Chu Fan to be so brain-dead. How did his brain work like that?

Zhen Lan felt a little disappointed after hearing Yi Shuihan's words, but she was even more disappointed in Chu Fan.

Chu Fan's expression became uncertain. He stared straight at Yi Shuihan, trying to see if there was any pretense in Yi Shuihan's eyes, but no matter how he looked, Yi Shuihan remained unmoved.

Pushing Zhen Lan aside, Chu Fan took out something that looked like a token and carefully held it in his palm, as if it were some priceless treasure.

"Oh, interesting."

Yi Shuihan could sense an astonishing energy fluctuation emanating from the token, which, if released, could likely kill someone of Chu Fan's level instantly.

It wasn't surprising that Chu Fan could produce something like this. After all, if the backing the other party had been real, a disciple who was at the Tribulation Transcending stage would surely have a few life-saving techniques.

"See this? This is my master's trump card for survival. It can unleash three attacks from my master's full strength. I used it once before, and I can use it twice more now. It's not too late for you to reconcile with me now, otherwise you might as well die."

Chu Fan threatened.

"Senior, he's right. You should reconcile!"

Zhen Lan, who was pushed out by Chu Fan, spoke softly. She also did not believe that Yi Shuihan could withstand a blow from a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator.

"A full-force attack from a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator—I've never actually seen anything like it before. Show it to me."

Yi Shuihan looked curious, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was practically begging her to hurry up.

With a cold snort, Chu Fan found himself in a dilemma. It wasn't that he was afraid of Yi Shuihan, but he genuinely couldn't bear to unleash the treasure. Even he himself had a hard time obtaining such a treasure, and once it was used up, it would be gone forever. He felt extremely unwilling to use it on Yi Shuihan, who was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, Chu Fan deeply regretted not bringing more treasures with him, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to use this trump card.

"Since you are courting death, then I will fulfill you."

Chu Fan's face contorted with rage as he channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the token. The token then floated up, and a figure appeared on it.

It was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose; although it was a phantom, it exuded an astonishing aura.

Needless to say, Yi Shuihan could guess that this was the master Ling Yunzi that Chu Fan had mentioned.

"He really is at the Tribulation Transcending Stage!"

After sensing it, Yi Shuihan judged that the opponent's aura was roughly equivalent to a Bronze 8-star. And this was just a phantom; the real body might even be a Bronze 9-star.

However, Yi Shuihan no longer cared about Bronze level. These Bronze level trash dared to act arrogantly in front of him, a Silver level master.

"Come on! Let's hurt each other!"

Yi Shuihan extended a finger and beckoned.

"You dare to be arrogant even when you're about to die! Kill!"

As Chu Fan shouted, the phantom moved and struck Yi Shuihan with a palm. A giant palm of energy, hundreds of meters long, seemed to be suppressing the heavens and earth.

"With such limited skills, you still dare to act recklessly? Go back now."

Yi Shuihan retaliated with a palm strike, but the enormous energy palm instantly changed course and returned to the past.

Chapter 613, Origin of Kunxu

Chu Fan was still feeling sorry for his precious child. In his opinion, even if he killed Yi Shuihan, he would still be at a loss. Who knew that the script would change so quickly? When he saw the giant hand coming towards him, he was completely stunned.

The full-force attack of someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage is incredibly powerful. If this attack lands, not only Chu Fan, but also Zhen Lan and Lang Bi beside him will likely die.

Seeing the despair in Zhen Lan's eyes, Yi Shuihan's heart softened suddenly. He moved his hand again, and the giant palm disappeared abruptly after killing Chu Fan.

"Ding"

The token lost its support and fell to the ground, and the storm of spiritual energy gradually subsided.

"Senior, please don't kill me. I'm willing to become your dog and do anything for you."

When Langbi saw Yi Shuihan looking at him, he immediately shuddered. Even attacks from the Tribulation Transcending stage couldn't harm Yi Shuihan. What did that mean? It meant that Yi Shuihan was at least a Tribulation Transcending stage expert. Killing him would be easier than killing an ant.

"Being my dog ​​is out of the question, but I can't afford to keep a dog like you."

Without giving Langbi a chance to continue speaking, Yi Shuihan casually struck Langbi, reducing him to ashes without leaving a trace.

He walked up to the token Chu Fan had taken earlier and took it.

"The material of this token is quite peculiar. It can actually withstand the power of the Tribulation Transcending stage, and it should be far from the limit. I wonder if it can withstand my power. If it can, I would like to study it and make a few to give to Wenji and the others for self-defense."

Although Yi Shuihan wasn't very skilled at weapon crafting, he believed that as long as the system advanced, he would soon become a master weapon crafter.

With his cultivation level far surpassing that of those who crafted magical artifacts, even now, Yi Shuihan felt that as long as he had enough materials, he could replicate this token, and with even greater power.

"They're all just junk."

Yi Shuihan had controlled it slightly beforehand, so Chu Fan's spatial ring hadn't been destroyed. With a thought, Yi Shuihan thoroughly inspected the spatial ring.

It has to be said that Chu Fan is truly an exceptional individual. His 10-square-meter spatial ring contained no less than a hundred pairs of underwear, all of which were women's. It's no surprise that these were the underwear of women he had previously harmed.

As for other things, some low-grade pills and a few magic treasures were not even worth a glance from Yi Shuihan.

"If your sect asks about this, just tell them the truth and let them come find me, Yi Shuihan."

"Senior, I won't tell."

"Whether you tell me or not is up to you, I won't care. By the way, do you have any information about Kunxu, or its history or anything?"

Zhen Lan wasn't stupid. Hearing this, she immediately understood that Yi Shuihan was truly not from Kunxu. No wonder she didn't react when Chu Fan introduced himself earlier. But considering Yi Shuihan's methods just now, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care!

"You really have it?"

Looking at Zhen Lan with surprise, Yi Shuihan had only asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhen Lan to take out two jade tubes and hand them to him. One of them introduced the situation of the Kunxu Secret Realm, and the other contained records of history.

“This was given to me by my master when I first became an apprentice a long time ago, and I have carried it with me ever since.”
