...

At noon, while Ji Chen was still cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes, gazing outside Qixian Residence.

Because Ji Chen sensed someone approaching.

Sure enough, soon a voice was heard coming from afar, "Ji Chen, come out to me!"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, causing Ji Chen to frown slightly, but he quickly realized.

The person speaking was very similar to Li Nan, who had conflicted with him last night in Celestial Emperor City.

"Just was wanting to try the power of the Floating Cloud Sword Technique, didn't expect a sparring partner would come so quickly."

He smiled slightly, then stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

Walking along the front of this disciple's residence, Ji Chen finally arrived at the entrance of Qixian Residence.

Looking out, he found that besides Li Nan, Fang Yuan, who he had also defeated last night, had also come.

And not just the two of them, a young man dressed in black had also arrived there.

This person had a sword hung by his waist, appeared somewhat indifferent, and exuded a sharp and astonishing aura, he was indeed a Sword Dao expert!

This black-clad youth was none other than Sword Wushuang of Dao Peak, who had trained for three years at Sword Peak. His sword technique had reached the level of Mastery, making him quite famous within the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, known as 'Ghost Sword'.

Because of his sword technique, ghostly and sinister, it made him almost impossible to defend against.

It was said that Sword Wushuang, whose cultivation was in the Seventh Layer of the Void Realm, had withstood even the Eighth or Ninth Layer experts, causing many to suffer under his sword.

As one can imagine, his swordsmanship is formidable enough to fight opponents of higher levels.

In recent years, he had turned to Dao Peak and was recruited by Shen Yan, often handling many troubles for him, making the name Ghost Sword even more prominent within the Celestial Emperor's Mansion.

"So this is Ji Chen? A newcomer who joined our Spirit Peak a few days ago?"

At this moment, the arrival of Sword Wushuang and the others outside Qixian Residence naturally attracted the attention of some Spirit Peak disciples, who all gathered around.

Additionally, apart from the Spirit Peak disciples, there were also disciples from other peaks who came here, evidently having heard about the news and rushed over.

"I heard this person defeated Li Nan and Fang Yuan in Celestial Emperor City last night? Is that true?"

"Judging from his aura, he's merely at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm, yet he managed to defeat Fang Yuan and Li Nan who are in the Fifth Layer of the Void Realm?"

"They say he comprehended the Great Dao Sword Intent, and with such talent, he didn't join Sword Peak?"

Many people discussed; obviously, the incident that happened last night in Celestial Emperor City was now spreading throughout the Celestial Emperor's Mansion.

The Great Dao Sword Intent is extraordinary; a disciple at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm comprehending such intent and defeating two Fifth Layer Void Realm experts, even in this talent-laden Celestial Emperor's Mansion, it's enough to surprise many.

"Shen Yan is famously protective, and just last night, Li Nan and Fang Yuan were defeated by Ji Chen, and unexpectedly the next day he's sent the Ghost Sword to reclaim their honor."

"Looks like Ji Chen is in trouble; over the years Ghost Sword has solved many problems for Shen Yan, making his name very loud within the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, plus his remarkable skill in swordsmanship has caused even ordinary Eighth or Ninth Layer Void Realm experts to suffer losses in his hands multiple times."

"In the end, he's just a newbie, only in the mansion for a few days, yet he dares to offend Shen Yan, simply bringing trouble upon himself."

Amidst the chatter of the crowd, Ji Chen had already walked up to the outside of Qixian Residence.

He stood silently in his white robe, his gaze meeting those of Li Nan and the others ahead.

"Are you Ji Chen?"

Sword Wushuang was the first to speak, his gaze examining Ji Chen, with an eerie glint flickering in his eyes.

After hearing the news from Shen Yan last night, he originally disdained to act. After all, how could a small character at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence be worth his personal attention?

However, upon learning that Ji Chen had comprehended the Great Dao Sword Intent, Sword Wushuang decided to come.

Having practiced sword for years and being renowned as Ghost Sword in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, he had always pursued the zenith of Sword Dao.

Although he mastered the Sword Law, he could not refine it into Great Dao Sword Intent.

Moreover, such things are incredibly elusive and rare, with those who can comprehend it being as rare as a phoenix feather, having reached this point, Sword Wushuang had never truly dueled with someone who comprehended the Great Dao Sword Intent.

This opportunity, he certainly did not want to miss. Perhaps after witnessing Ji Chen's Great Dao Sword Intent, he could gain some insights.

"Ghost Sword? Nice name, but I wonder, how strong is your power really?" From the discussions around, Ji Chen also learned about the other's background.

This person's cultivation reached the Seventh Layer of the Void Realm, and with his sophisticated sword technique, he could contend with ordinary Eighth and even Ninth Layer Void Realm experts, such strength indeed shouldn't be underestimated.

But for Ji Chen, it was not beyond his capacity to handle.

Though his cultivation was still at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm, with the Great Dao Sword Intent, Thunder Law, and two Emperor Scriptures, he had no fear of facing ordinary Sixth or Seventh Layer Void Realm opponents.

Besides, even if his cultivation was inferior to his opponent, he still had the Hongmeng Body as his trump card.

Body Sanctification, Ji Chen's peak combat strength was extraordinary.

Before joining the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, he had also fought against a Saint's Dao Body and eventually repelled it.

"Do you realize that standing before you now is Senior Brother Sword Wushuang, known as Ghost Sword, and you still dare talk so arrogantly?"

Beside Sword Wushuang, with someone backing them, Li Nan and Fang Yuan were more confident in their speech.

Seeing Ji Chen dare to not take Sword Wushuang seriously, in their view, he was undoubtedly courting death, an arrogance taken to the extreme.

"Ghost Sword or Divine Sword, whatever skills you have, just show them already, or are you here just for idle talk?" Ji Chen coldly chuckled.

"You sure have some confidence."

At this moment, Sword Wushuang took a step forward, and the aura around him suddenly became much sharper.

His gaze bore down on Ji Chen, "All these years in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, I've seen many arrogant people like you, but none have lasted more than three moves under my sword."

"However, since you have comprehended the Great Dao Sword Intent, I'm interested in sparring with you for a bit longer, won't defeat you too quickly."

"Buzz..."

As his words fell, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

In an instant, an astonishing sword momentum swept over the entire area.

The long sword at Sword Wushuang's waist was unsheathed, incredibly fast, it was a basic Sword Drawing Technique, yet its power was extraordinary, the terrifying sword light seemed to drag the whole world's momentum down fiercely upon Ji Chen.
