Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

At this moment, Elder Pan, who was usually kind and amiable, completely tore off his hypocritical mask.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Yu Luoning with a frenzied intensity, demanding, "My sword intent? You actually stole my sword intent?"

Looking at his distorted face, what else could Yu Luoning not understand?

She sneered and retorted, "What do you mean by 'your sword intent'? If I'm not mistaken, this Soul-Devouring Evil Array on the ground is your creation, isn't it?"

Elder Pan clenched his fists, so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

He served as the chief elder of the library for so many years.

He even went to great lengths to drive away the previous head of the library and seize the position himself, all in order to find that wisp of Primordial Sword Intent that would make him invincible among his peers.

But now, the extraordinary opportunity he had been waiting for for so many years has been snatched away by a young girl.

Yu Luoning stared at him, repeating coldly, "The Soul-Devouring Evil Array on the ground was your doing, wasn't it?"

Elder Pan's face darkened, and he sneered, "Boy, what nonsense are you spouting? It's clear that when you were comprehending sword intent, your aptitude was dull, and you almost suffered a qi deviation. Now you dare to falsely accuse me? Do you want to die?"

At this point, Yu Luoning immediately realized what the other party was up to.

The so-called backlash from the sword intent was nothing more than this old guy using an evil formation to harm people.

The true sword intent lies hidden in the heavens, unknown to anyone. Those disciples who have spent hundreds of thousands of contribution points to come here and experience the sword intent are the cream of the crop among the younger generation.

But not only were they harmed by this old man's evil formation, they also ended up with the stigma of being dull-witted and suffering from the backlash of sword intent.

That old man is absolutely despicable.

Yu Luoning sneered, "The commotion here has been so loud, it's alarmed the entire inner sect. Old man, just wait for your punishment!"

Elder Pan sneered.

"Punishment? Youngster, do you think you're so great just because you've acquired a bit of sword intent? I'm here to guard the library under the sect's orders, and I've never made a mistake. Now that you've failed in your enlightenment, how dare you turn around and frame me? Do you have any evidence?"

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. If he could kill this girl and seize the sword intent before everyone else, then he would be in charge of everything afterward.

There is no time.

The pressure from the high-level expert instantly sealed off the surrounding void.

Elder Pan's face twisted into a ferocious grin as he unleashed a beam of light that struck directly at Yu Luoning's spiritual acupoint.

Given the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Yu Luoning had no chance of escaping this attack.

Faced with certain death, she didn't even blink; a mocking glint appeared in her bright eyes.

Escape? Why would she want to escape?

She has many tricks up her sleeve.

Just as the palm struck down hard, Yu Luoning silently chanted an ancient incantation, "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees."

The seasons change, life and death alternate; this can only be used three times in a lifetime.

She has no way out now.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the air. There was no scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. Instead, a buzzing sound as if cause and effect were being forcibly replaced came from the air. Elder Pan's ferocious face suddenly froze.

He was shocked to find that his spiritual palace had exploded, and a sharp pain, as if his flesh and bones were shattering, assaulted him. Elder Pan coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.

How is that possible?

He stared intently at Yu Luoning.

He couldn't understand how his all-out attack on someone could backfire so badly on him.

Within moments, he lost his life and died from his own ultimate move.

Having witnessed everything, Pan Maoxin collapsed to the ground, and he burst into tears as he looked at his deceased grandfather.

Amidst the ruins, Yu Luoning's face was somewhat pale.

She took a deep breath and spat out a low sound.

The moment I saw Pan Maoxin, everything became clear.

She stared at him coldly and uttered a few words, "You damn bastard."

In TVB movies, Uncle Hat always arrives only after everything has settled down.

It's also quite suitable for this context.

At the moment Elder Pan breathed his last.

At the top of the sky, which had been blasted apart by the Primordial Sword Qi, several powerful streams of light suddenly descended. Cheng Min, along with the peak masters of several major mountains, the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, and other high-ranking members of the sect, all rushed to the scene.

Everyone looked shocked, their gazes towards Yu Luoning filled with horror.

"You killed... Elder Pan?"

Yu Luoning was excited and was about to admit it, but then she felt it was too unbelievable, so she unhesitatingly pushed everything onto Cui Xiu.

"Of course it's impossible for me with my strength. It was my master who left me a trump card; otherwise, I would be the one lying there."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up with realization.

This statement is convincing, after all, the gap between two major realms is an insurmountable chasm that ordinary cultivators cannot cross even after a lifetime of effort.

How can a Foundation Establishment child kill a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages?

No one questioned it.

Yu Luoning was taken to the Hall of Law Enforcement. Standing in the main hall, she explained everything that had happened on the rooftop with neither arrogance nor servility.

As for why Elder Pan died because of her own special skill, she didn't mention the "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees" technique at all, but only blamed it on Cui Xiu.

Since it was Cui Xiu's trump card to save their lives, the elders had nothing to say.

And the mouse jumped out too, stealing the spotlight from everyone.

With its big, round eyes wide open, it recounted the truth of what happened back then with grief and indignation.

"Old friends, elders. The head of the library didn't disappear without a trace back then; he was secretly driven away by that Pan fellow. I witnessed him stealing from the library, smuggling out many precious ancient books for resale. I, too, was driven away by him, my cultivation was damaged, and I've been wandering for decades..."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

As investigations continued, Elder Pan's crimes were gradually exposed.

They embezzled from their posts, set up a Soul-Devouring Array, harmed talented disciples, and absorbed their cultivation...

This is also the secret to the rapid growth of the Pan family.

Of course, Elder Pan couldn't have done such a heinous act alone; the very foundation of this sect had long since rotted away.

All of this had nothing to do with her, a mere Foundation Establishment disciple.

After the review process was completed, Yu Luoning leisurely went out.

She didn't return to Zhexue Peak immediately, but instead turned a corner and met the sect leader Cheng Min, who was waiting quietly in a side hall.

Yu Luoning walked straight to Cheng Min without expression.

"Sect Master, everything has been taken care of. Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
