Chapter 951: Chapter 951: Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace
"Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace?"
When Lan Ye suddenly mentioned her origin, everyone present showed a shocked expression.
It was no wonder, as this name was extremely famous and well-known throughout the Immortal Realm Sky Domain.
This was a Sword Cultivator Sect that wielded considerable influence, even within the prestigious Upper Three Heavens.
Especially regarding their princess currently in the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace, it was said that she reached the final Realm of the third step of Immortality thousands of years ago.
Moreover, everyone knew that Cultivators emerging from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace possess fighting prowess a tier above Cultivators in the same Realm.
This meant that Cultivators from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace would almost be invincible against Cultivators in the same Realm.
Such a powerful and mysterious Sect was now being mentioned as the origin of Lan Ye, causing everyone present to be astonished and incredulous.
Most importantly, this Cultivator from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace exhibited such familiarity towards a Cultivator with merely True Immortal Peak cultivation, which was the most baffling and puzzling to everyone.
"Indeed, I am from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace."
Lan Ye suddenly smiled again and continued, "I am telling you this now because I want to ask if you are willing to join our Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace and become my disciple?"
"What?"
Lan Ye’s words dropped like a bomb among the crowd.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the two women in front of them, their thoughts nearly halted.
What was happening? This Lan Ye, who claimed to be from the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace, was now considering Chen Tianxing as her disciple? And would directly bring her into the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace?
How could this be? When did recruitment for the Hidden Sword Heavenly Palace become so casual?
According to rumors, they had extremely strict requirements for recruitment. If one didn’t possess outstanding talent in Sword Dao, even a cultivation genius might not be considered.
But now...?
Everyone was bewildered, staring blankly at the unfolding events, unable to grasp what was happening.
Even Zhu Fei was internally shocked upon hearing Lan Ye’s words.
No one expected to encounter such a situation.
"Why? Are you unwilling?"
Seeing Chen Tianxing delay her response, Lan Ye gently furrowed her brow and directed her gaze at Zhu Fei.
At that moment, Zhu Fei felt a strange sensation, as if his entire field of vision was filled with boundless and endless Sword Qi.
Just one glance gave Zhu Fei the illusion of being pierced by ten thousand arrows, chilling him to the core.
Zhu Fei firmly believed that if Lan Ye wished, the illusion he felt could become reality in an instant, and he wouldn’t have the slightest chance to resist.
How terrifying! Is this the power of a top-tier Immortal? Just a mere gaze gives the impression of impending demise. If she truly acted...
Zhu Fei decided to stop thinking about it, understanding its pointlessness.
If she acted, he wouldn’t stand a chance, nor even have time to retreat into the Divine Tripod Space.
Lan Ye, observing Zhu Fei, spoke again, "Or is someone influencing your choice? Rest assured, with me here, no one can touch you today."
Her tone was seemingly calm, but the firmness and confidence were unmistakable to everyone present.
This is what strength is! This is power! This is dominance!
No need for many words or actions, effortlessly instilling fear and awe in others from deep within.
This is the true confidence of the powerful!
"Senior, no!"
Lan Ye’s words pulled Chen Tianxing back to reality.
However, upon reacting, Chen Tianxing was startled by Lan Ye’s actions.
She herself might not have realized but when Lan Ye’s dangerous gaze locked onto Zhu Fei, her heart seemed to be fiercely gripped, causing her breath to momentarily halt.
Her complexion became slightly pale.
Chen Tianxing’s intense reaction didn’t escape Lan Ye’s attention, causing her to furrow her brows slightly again.
She turned back towards Zhu Fei, her tone abruptly turning severe from its initial mildness.
"You’re Zhu Fei, right? I don’t care who you are to Chen Tianxing, nor what your past relationship is, but I hope from now on you avoid interactions with her because a person with an innate Sword Heart is beyond the reach of someone like you."
Lan Ye’s words were blunt, even carrying a hint of threat.
Zhu Fei’s expression drastically changed.
He could accept her strength, endure her warnings, but her baseless threats ignited anger within him.
Especially as this involved his friend, Zhu Fei’s rage burned fiercely.
However, he understood from Lan Ye’s words why she valued Chen Tianxing.
Chen Tianxing possessed an innate Sword Heart, an unmatched talent for Sword Dao.
Zhu Fei hadn’t known this, explaining Lan Ye’s previous caution.
Perhaps fearing Zhu Fei had a special bond or was a Dao companion of Chen Tianxing, prompting her prior remarks.
If that were the case, Chen Tianxing’s Sword Heart would be hindered, preventing her full concentration on Sword Dao cultivation.
Despite this understanding, Zhu Fei resented her disregard for others’ feelings and thoughts.
He abruptly spoke, "Senior, Chen Tianxing is my friend. Isn’t what you said excessive?"
"Excessive?"
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Lan Ye chuckled, then her expression turned icy.
She replied coldly, "Even if it’s excessive, so what? Tianxing is my disciple of choice. No one is allowed to interfere. Not even if you were her Dao companion. Today, you must end it!"
