Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 304 Rejection
In the vast Western Emperor Palace, on the martial arts field, a figure in white stood on a sword, looking so elegant.

It was only until now that a truly stunning Nascent Soul cultivator appeared at the Demon Slaying Conference, and he was none other than the talented swordsman who had caused some waves on Xidi Island before.

Kill Ningdan when building the foundation, and destroy the Song family after entering Ningdan.

“It seems that Yang Qingshan doesn’t even take the practitioners of the Western Emperor Palace seriously.” An old man in the Condensed Core Stage said with a smile, “We have tried our best to enter the Western Emperor Palace to practice, but the truly top talents may not look down on us, unless…”

"Unless what?" asked someone nearby.

“Of course, those big shots are willing to accept you as their personal disciple.” The old man stroked his beard and smiled. Although Li Fan said that he didn’t want to show anything, wasn’t his actions also showing it?
Young and frivolous, with amazing talent, this is the personality displayed by this young genius swordsman.

“I just don’t know, is his target the Palace Master of the West Emperor Palace or the one from Xihuang Island…” the old man asked curiously.

"What is this boy's talent in swordsmanship?"

Sitting on the main seat of the white jade palace of the Western Emperor Palace, Palace Master Liu Zonglin looked at Li Fan and asked with a smile to the middle-aged swordsman from Xihuang Island beside him.

This middle-aged swordsman is named Kong Zhou. He has an extraordinary background as he is the first disciple of the island master of Xihuang Island. He is extremely powerful and is now a great swordsman at the peak of the sixth realm. It is said that he is only one step away from the seventh realm. Sooner or later, he will enter the realm of a great swordsman at the seventh realm.

"Yes, his sword control skills are extraordinary. He controls nine swords at the same time, and their power is amazing. It's like waving his arms and fingers, and the sword energy is everywhere. This boy's soul must be extremely strong, and he has a sword body." Kong Zhou said: "This boy's talent in swordsmanship is also outstanding among sword cultivators. It is normal for the disciple of the Western Emperor Palace to lose."

After all, the person sitting next to him was the Palace Master of the Western Emperor Palace.

"Kong Zhou, you don't have to be polite. Liu Liangchen is practicing in my West Emperor Palace. Although he is talented, there is still a big gap between him and the top sword geniuses. You and I should all know that in the practice of swordsmanship, the talent gap between people is too big. Geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people are not worth mentioning in front of real geniuses."

Liu Zonglin looked at Li Fan and said with a smile: "How do you think this boy would compare to your fellow apprentices?"

Kong Zhou shook his head and replied, "This boy has shown extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, but what we have seen so far is just the surface. His true fighting power was not unleashed in that fight just now. We cannot tell what level his swordsmanship is at just by watching him. We can only know when he fights with other top swordsmanship geniuses."

"That's right. Genius is revealed through comparison." Liu Zonglin nodded with a smile: "Is Xihuang Island interested in this boy?"

This boy is extremely talented. I don't know which sword force he comes from, but I think if Xihuang Island wants someone, this boy will not refuse.

"Let's see how he performs." Kong Zhou replied, "If he is outstanding enough, I will consider accepting him as a disciple on behalf of the master and bring him to Xihuang Island to practice swordsmanship."

"In this case, it is an opportunity for this boy." Liu Zonglin smiled, but heard a voice from the side: "You two are talking happily, but didn't you hear the young man say that he has no intention of showing off?"

The person who spoke was the messenger from the Sun Palace. Although he did not exude any aura and just sat there casually, he was like the scorching sun.

"There is no one among the sword cultivators of the West Sea who does not yearn for Xihuang Island." Liu Zonglin said with a smile. He looked towards the battlefield and said loudly, "Yang Qingshan."

Li Fan was about to return to his seat when he heard the voice and suddenly stopped. He looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Liu Zonglin, the Palace Master of the West Emperor Palace.

Not only Li Fan, the moment Liu Zonglin spoke, everyone's eyes were looking at the figure on the main seat.

The Lord of the West Emperor Palace called him by his name. This...

Among the crowd, the monks from the Western Emperor Palace who had previously discussed Li Fan felt even more ashamed. Song Siyu and Liu Liangchen who had just been defeated were stunned.

Palace Master, are you interested in Li Fan?
"If I remember correctly, it should be this name." Liu Zonglin said with a smile: "I have already explained the rules of the Demon Slaying Conference. There is an opportunity here. You need to seize it and stay there to continue to perform and show your talent in swordsmanship."

"really……"

The crowd was in an uproar. An opportunity was coming... Was it that the Palace Master of the Western Emperor Palace wanted to accept Li Fan as his personal disciple?

"Did I help him?" Song Siyu looked in the direction of Li Fan with complicated eyes. If Li Fan was accepted as a disciple by the Palace Master, revenge would be completely hopeless.

Song Siyu looked at her senior brother, and saw a figure trying to walk out from that direction, but was held back by the people next to him.

"Brother." The man turned around and looked at the person who was holding him, only to see that the other person shook his head: "The Palace Master has already paid attention to him personally. Even if he is bullied by the late Condensation Pill realm, what's the point? The defeat just now is over."

Liu Liangchen, the defeat was so miserable.

If Liu Liangchen could fight Li Fan on equal terms, even without defeating him, it would be enough. If someone else could crush the other person, the title of genius would be unworthy of its name. However, at the moment, Liu Liangchen was just a sword.

This was doomed to happen, Li Fan could no longer suppress it.

"I thank the Palace Master for his kindness, but I have already stated that I am here only to slay the demon and have no interest in opportunities. If the other party had not provoked me, I would not have taken action. Now I will stop here."

Li Fan bowed to Liu Zonglin and said, "There are so many geniuses in the Demon Slaying Conference, so I won't affect the performance of others."

When Liu Zonglin heard Li Fan's words, his face turned strange.

No interest in chance?

The people around were even whispering. This guy, the Palace Master of the West Emperor Palace, Liu Zonglin, personally extended an olive branch to him, but he was going to refuse?
"It seems that you have some opinions about my West Emperor Palace because of the incident of West Emperor Palace. But it doesn't matter. I am not asking you to enter West Emperor Palace. You are a sword cultivator. Today, the great sword cultivator of Xihuang Island is here. Don't you want to fight for this opportunity?"

Liu Zonglin didn't mind Li Fan's refusal. He just smiled and said that he mistakenly thought that Li Fan was young and hot-tempered and was dissatisfied with the West Emperor Palace because of what the disciples of the West Emperor Palace had done.

However, as a sword cultivator, the attraction of Xihuang Island should be enough, right?
Entering Xihuang Island is also considered an opportunity?
Li Fan thought to himself, if his master and his uncles and aunts knew about this, they would probably ask why he condescended to come to Xihuang Island.
Of course, now that he does not reveal his identity to the outside world, Liu Zonglin's words are also well-intentioned. The demeanor of the Palace Master of the Western Emperor Palace is extraordinary, far beyond the comparison of those Western Emperor Palace disciples.

"Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master. However, it is not necessary." Li Fan responded and walked back on his sword.

It seems that Xihuang Island is also very proud. With the talent in swordsmanship that he has shown, if Xihuang Island wants to accept him as a disciple, does it require other tests?

Are all the sword cultivators on Xihuang Island so talented?

But it has nothing to do with him.

"Refused?"

Everyone looked at Li Fan in shock as he walked back. He not only rejected Liu Zonglin, but also rejected Xihuang Island. He was saying that he had no interest in either the Xidi Palace or Xihuang Island.

This……

Kong Zhou, who was sitting next to Liu Zonglin, was also a little surprised. Just now, when he was talking to Liu Zonglin, he was still saying that he would see Li Fan's performance in the future and then consider whether to accept a disciple on behalf of the master. This was naturally to highlight the status of Xihuang Island's kendo.

However, Li Fan had no interest in this and did not want to show...

"Don't you want to go to Xihuang Island to practice swordsmanship?" Kong Zhou looked at Li Fan and asked. Seeing Li Fan stop and look at him, Kong Zhou continued: "Or, you don't know Xihuang Island?"

"I've heard of it, and I've seen sword cultivators from Xihuang Island before." Li Fan glanced at Yu Wenjing in the crowd and said, "The sword cultivators from Xihuang Island have extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, and I admire them very much."

Kong Zhou nodded slightly. This boy was quite sensible. He then said, "You have a good talent in swordsmanship. If you are willing to try, you can go to Xihuang Island to practice. How about that?"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I am not interested in this." Li Fan responded, bowed, and continued walking back.

Kong Zhou was actually stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared. However, as a senior in kendo, he naturally couldn't say anything, but... his face looked a little unhappy.

The sword cultivators of Xihuang Island have never entered the world, but now, with demons causing chaos, the sword cultivators of Xihuang Island have entered the world, showing their edge, with a sharp aura hidden in them.

The sword has been hidden on the island for many years. Once it comes out, it will roar throughout the world to demonstrate the prestige of Xihuang Island's swordsmanship.

Yuwen Jing entered the world first, allowing the people of Xidi Island to see the elegance of the swordsmen from Xihuang Island.

And now, they are coming out together to amaze the West Sea.

Today is the day when the sword cultivator of Xihuang Island is officially unveiled, and he will also show his prowess at this demon-slaying conference. But before that, someone has rejected Xihuang Island.

"and many more."

Just when Li Fan wanted to go back, another voice sounded. Li Fan frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a sword cultivator standing in the crowd with a sword in his arms, looking at him with eyes as sharp as a sword.
