Seeing Wang Qi and Lian Xingling walk away, then looking at Song Zhongqiao lying on the ground like a dead dog, many of the Luochen Sword Palace disciples who witnessed the battle showed stunned expressions.
"Did he just... did he just defeat Senior Brother Song Zhongqiao?"
"He defeated that Senior Brother Song?"
"That Xia Li?"
"This is impossible... How is this possible..."
"How could soone at the Early Stage Golden Core defeat soone at the Late Stage Golden Core? He isn't even a heretic!"
In an instant, a malicious thought ford in many people's minds: "If we report him and say he's a heretic..."
The more they thought about it, the more they felt this idea was feasible. Although everyone under Spirit Phoenix Island, in the Underground City, knew that Modern Heretics had abandoned the opportunity for Ascension to gain combat power unmatched by True Law Practitioners, nobody had a clear concept of how strong these heretics truly were—those who had tended to be dead, or were like Lian Yichen, barely alive in Qingshan Cliff.
So, when they saw "Xia Li" easily defeat Song Zhongqiao, who was at the Late Stage Golden Core, with an Early Stage Golden Core cultivation, they imdiately associated it with heretics.
——In a way, although their reasoning was wrong, the conclusion was surprisingly close to the truth.
This scene fell into the eyes of two elders watching in hiding, and they both shook their heads in disappointnt.
"These disciples still lack training. They actually call this exceeding one's stage..." One of the elders shook his head in a 'disappointed but not surprised' manner: "This is heretics already? Pah! According to the news from the Demon Clan, the heretic who defeated Junior Brother Lian was only at the Foundation Establishnt stage. Foundation Establishnt… Foundation Establishnt! Foundation Establishnt defeating Divine Separation! Now that's a true heretic! These ignorant and disgraceful fools..."
The other elder was Ye Tianye, the Transmitting Technique Elder Wang Qi had t before. He sighed deeply: "An Early Stage Golden Core defeating soone at the Late Stage Golden Core isn't particularly rare in history. There have been three to five cases over the past eighty thousand years where a Golden Core Perfection defeated an early Nascent Soul. Exceeding one's stage is not the exclusive domain of heretics..."
The elder nodded in agreent: "That makes sense."
Ye Tianye then respectfully asked: "Fourth Elder, may I ask your opinion on that disciple nad Xia Li?"
The Fourth Elder of Luochen Sword Palace was nad Sima Jue, and he was the only one who benefited from Lian Yichen's defection—The Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder all had their cultivation knocked down and were in seclusion nursing their wounds. The real power of Luochen Sword Palace thus fell into his hands.
"What's my opinion... A prodigy." Sima Jue marveled: "Although there was the matter of Song Zhongqiao's child underestimating the enemy and getting one of his hands crippled at the outset. However, being able to integrate swordsmanship into hand techniques at the Golden Core stage, and relying on a set of Unstained Snow Technique to contend with the Nine Dragons Nine Divine Fist, is truly extraordinary. Moreover, the Heaven Splitting Cloud Comforting Sword Qi Skill... While Lian Yichen did know it, he didn't frequently use it. This young man, on the other hand, has surpassed his master."
Because he gained benefits, the Fourth Elder didn't view "Xia Li" as unfavorably.
Ye Tianye further inquired: "There's no suspicion of Modern Heretic with this child, is there?"
"Modern Heretics don't cultivate Qi or nourish intent, they don't talk about spirituality or understanding, how could they possess such powerful Martial Arts True Intent?"
The Transmitting Technique Elder was delighted. This statent essentially confird "Xia Li" as a direct disciple of Luochen Sword Palace!
The Fourth Elder Sima Jue continued in amazent: "With such formidable Martial Arts True Intent, the chances of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage exceed fifty percent, and there's even so hope for advancing to the Divine Separation stage. He must be cultivated as a key figure!"
Wang Qi and Lian Xingling walked side by side. Along the way, Lian Xingling was trembling with fear, terrified that an elder might suddenly descend from the sky and point at Wang Qi, shouting: "You're a Modern Heretic!" And then the killing god beside her would fly into a rage and unleash exterminating spells within Luochen Sword Palace.
Given the level of madness of this killing god, it wasn't impossible!
Lian Xingling thought for a mont, then gathered her courage and softly asked: "Junior Brother Xia, why did you co out just now? The sect has been quite restless recently..."
——Once you co out, you'll definitely be targeted... wouldn't you feel unhappy when targeted? If there's sothing you want, just tell . I'll go find it!
Wang Qi continued with a poker face and said: "Newly arrived, unfamiliar with the environnt. However, getting lost is troubleso..."
——A map would be nice. I could deduce a lot of things.
Lian Xingling sighed: "Indeed, it is a bit troubleso. I'll take you to the Library Pavilion to familiarize yourself with the Spirit Phoenix Island map later..."
——A map? Or sothing else?
Wang Qi nodded.
——Just a map.
Wang Qi asked again: "Senior Sister Lian, that person's absolute skill just now..."
——It's peculiar. Tell .
It's one thing for soone to use a skill outside their own sect's absolute skills, but Wang Qi had consecutively fought two people who both mastered external absolute skills. Moreover, this skill's inheritance was clearly broken—that was very suspicious.
Even if it was a coincidence, it only indicated that there was a large base of people obtaining external skill inheritance.
Lian Xingling forced a smile: "It's soone else's Divine Skill, right? Actually, this is commonplace too. Occasionally, soone receives an adventure and is taught martial arts by alien people..."
Wang Qi remained expressionless on the surface, but he was certain at heart that there was definitely a problem.
Those Ancient thod Practitioners may claim that the Immortal Dao Orthodoxy is overseas. However, the relics and tombs left by predecessors, all those, are on the Shenzhou Continent, either smashed by the Holy Infant Sect or in the hands of the Modern Immortal Path. Those people wanting to jump off a cliff to pick up a secret manual also need a cliff to jump from!
