There were many elders in the Green Edge Sword Sect, but the nine elders held the most authority in the Green Edge Sword Sect.

Each of the nine great elders were extremely powerful elders, and their position in the Green Edge Sword Sect was only second to the sect master of the Green Edge Sword Sect.

This time, the The outer sect compet.i.tion was also personally attended by the Ninth Elder.

He knew that everything that had happened today could be forgotten with just a single word from Patriarch Nine.

That was why Fang Chen had specifically asked Ninth Elder about it. It was because Fang Chen could feel that Ninth Elder was faintly emitting a righteous aura.

"Fang Chen, you have committed a great sin and you even tried to obtain Ninth Elder's forgiveness. It's really laughable." Ye Lin's master, Elder Liu, said coldly.

Hearing the Sixth Elder's reprimand, the other elders also spoke out, as they thought Fang Chen was guilty.

"That's right, Ninth Elder. This kid should be killed."

"Ninth Elder, I suggest crippling Fang Chen's cultivation and expel him from Green Edge Sword Sect." Wen Zhengyun said in a low voice.

"Wen Zhengyun, why are your thoughts so vicious? To cripple Fang Chen's cultivation, isn't that equivalent to taking his life? " Jiang He scolded loudly.

"That's right, although Fang Chen killed Xiao Tianyong out of negligence, this is still a legitimate defense. If you have to blame him, you can only blame Xiao Tianyong for using a power that does not belong to him." Xiao Shan said.

"Xiao Tianyong is the one who broke the rules, Fang Chen is not in the wrong."

Xiao Shan and Jiang He spoke up for Fang Chen in front of so many elders, causing the latter's heart to be filled with warmth.

At the same time, in Fang Chen's heart, he deeply remembered Elder Liu, Ye Lin, and Wen Zhengyun. These three people had the intention to kill him, and wanted to use this opportunity to kill him.

The other elders also looked at Patriarch Nine, waiting for him to speak.

After all, the compet.i.tion had been interrupted because of Fang Chen, and this matter had to be settled thoroughly before the compet.i.tion could proceed smoothly.

Hearing these words, Wen Zhengyun and the rest's faces were filled with joy.

Once the Ninth Elder punished Fang Chen, no one would be able to save him.

"However, I do not think that Fang Chen is guilty."

With a single sentence, it caused a huge uproar. Ninth Elder wanted to preserve Fang Chen's rhythm.

"Ninth Elder, Fang Chen, he …"

However, his words were cut off by the Ninth Elder.

"Xiao Tianyong brought this upon himself, and used a power that does not belong to him. It's not his fault." Patriarch Nine waved his hand and said.

"Our Green Edge Sword Sect is a famous righteous sect, how can the disciples of our sect use such despicable methods?" The ninth elder asked.

The other Elders wanted to refute, but they did not dare to refute the Ninth Elder's words.

Finally, because of a single sentence from the Ninth Elder, this storm ended and the compet.i.tion continued.

"d.a.m.n it, he can't die even like this." Wen Zhengyun said coldly with a gloomy face.

After the referee's announcement, all the disciples left the Martial Arts Practice Field one by one. Ninth Elder and the others also left quickly.

"Fang Chen, you are so awesome. Ninth Elder is even helping you." After everyone had left, Xiao Shan punched Fang Chen on the shoulder and laughed.

"Yes, Fang Chen. I thought that if you killed Xiao Tianyong, you would be punished. I never expected Ninth Elder to be so understanding." Jiang He was also happy for Fang Chen.

As the night gradually descended, Fang Chen returned to his room after eating dinner.

Although the current him already had the strength to challenge Wen Zhengyun, he still resolutely entered into his cultivation state.

After more than a month of time, Fang Chen had gradually realized that the Ancient Sword Continent was a world where the strong were respected.

"I have to increase my strength." Fang Chen shouted in his heart.

Ever since he had that golden heart, Fang Chen felt that it was constantly changing his body, and even changing his Inherent Skill.

Fang Chen realized that not only was his strength becoming stronger, even his Inherent Skill was becoming stronger.

Fang Chen sat crossed legged in the courtyard. The bright and clear moonlight scattered across his body, and layers of halos appeared.

In a moment, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and quickly stood up. He took a step forward, and clenched his fists tightly, gathering all the energy in his body into his fists, and fiercely punched out.

Immediately, the air in front of Fang Chen distorted a little, and a burst of fist energy directly smashed into the s.p.a.ce in front of him.

"9th Body Refinement Layer."

Fang Chen's face was full of smiles. Although the Body Refinement Fist was only the basic fist technique, but after reaching the ninth stage, its power was also not to be underestimated.

"The Body Refinement Fist actually allowed my strength to increase after reaching the perfect state." Fang Chen said.

In the next moment, Fang Chen began to train with the Golden Light Sword Technique.

Early in the morning on the second day, all the outer court disciples had gathered in the Martial Arts Practice Field once again.

The fourth round of the compet.i.tion had begun. There were a total of twenty-five disciples left, a total of twelve matches, and the last disciple had no chance to fight.

After a simple explanation of the rules, the Ninth Elder began to draw the lots.

After Fang Chen drew his lot, he opened it to take a look. He was a little dazed, he did not expect that he actually drew a lot.

When he found out that Fang Chen had drawn the vacant lot, Wen Zhengyun's face turned ugly.

Some of the disciples who were unsatisfied with Fang Chen had also voiced out, thinking that Fang Chen was really lucky.

"Hmph, just you wait. You will definitely lose in the next round." A disciple said.

After four hours, the fourth round of the compet.i.tion had ended. The 12 disciples had been eliminated, and the remaining 13 disciples had been promoted.

The 12 eliminated disciples all gnashed their teeth at Fang Chen. They all thought that if Fang Chen didn't take the empty spot, then maybe that empty spot would belong to them.

"I'm really lucky to have eaten dog s.h.i.+t."

"Hmph, so what if we enter the next round? If you meet the Senior Brother Wen, you will lose without a doubt. "

However, what surprised all the disciples was that Fang Chen still managed to get a vacant lot.

"d.a.m.n it, why did this Fang Chen draw till he got an empty lot?" Many disciples complained.

Even Fang Chen himself felt that it was inconceivable. After drawing the empty lot twice, he could directly enter the top ten without even using a match.

The fifth round was much more intense than the fourth round, but Wen Zhengyun still swept his opponent with his tyrannical aura.

In the afternoon, the fifth round of the compet.i.tion finally came to an end.

The remaining six disciples were all outer sect Top Disciples s and the weakest among them were at the late stage of Third level of the Refinement Realm.

Adding Fang Chen, there were still seven people who needed to draw lots.

"Hmph, Fang Chen, you have been extremely satisfied with these two rounds, I will personally end you with this battle." Lu Shan's eyes flashed with a cold light as he icily said.

Lu Shan, was the weakest of the six disciples who advanced. However, his realm had also reached late stage Third level of the Refinement Realm.

"Fang Chen, you are not my opponent. Surrender." On the martial stage, Lu Shan arrogantly said.

Fang Chen slightly shook his head and said, "We will only know after the compet.i.tion."

"Since that's the case, I'll grant you your wish."

Lu Shan let out a low growl as he directly executed his strongest sword technique, causing beams of sword light to dance about in the air.

"Lu Shan is so strong, Fang Chen is definitely not his match."

"What an exciting battle."

On the stage, Fang Chen stood still as he watched Lu Shan perform his sword technique, then unleashed his Golden Light Sword Technique.

Golden Light Sword Technique, third sword.

A majestic golden light flashed and immediately shattered the sword beams that filled the sky. A tyrannical aura engulfed the entire martial stage.

"Hmph, so what if you have Golden Light Sword Technique? Let's see how I'll break your Golden Light Sword Technique."

Seeing Fang Chen use Golden Light Sword Technique, Lu Shan roared angrily, and used his sword technique once again.

However, right at this moment, took a step forward, and appeared in front of Lu Shan. Lu Shan was controlling the sword light to clash with the Golden Light Sword Technique, and even he did not expect Fang Chen to be near him.

"You are courting death."

Just as Lu Shan spoke, what welcomed him was a punch.

A simple punch sent Lu Shan flying.

Bang

Lu Shan had fallen under the stage and lost the match.
