As soon as Zhou Fan exposed the Old Sword Master, he removed all their concealment methods.
Xiao Muqing, who was sitting in the back of the main hall, naturally saw the Old Sword Master of the Qiankun Sword Sect with a lewd expression, and the handsome male Cultivator standing at the entrance of the main hall.
Knowing her Cultivation was low, she did not interrupt rashly. Xiao Muqing quietly listened to their conversation and had a general understanding of what had happened.
At this moment, the usually cautious Old Sword Master, seeing that the young man did not want to let him leave easily, immediately warned with a sinister tone: "Young man, although this old man does not know your origin, to be able to Breakthrough to the Fourth Stage at such an age."
"But there's an old saying in the Cultivation World that you should know: 'Young people should not be too arrogant.' You and I are both Fourth Stage, and the outcome is still unknown."
"Since that's the case, then let's go outside and fight."
Zhou Fan's expression was calm. He had just advanced to the Great Sun Royal Body not long ago, and he happened to want to find someone to test the power of the Great Sun Vision.
The Old Sword Master, seeing the young man acting as if he had him cornered, couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. He had practiced the sword for five hundred years and was now also a Fourth Stage strong Cultivator. Even if he couldn't defeat this arrogant young man, escaping shouldn't be a problem.
With this thought, the Old Sword Master flew out of the Guiyuan Sect's main hall on his Flying Sword, soaring tens of thousands of miles into the sky.
Zhou Fan moved, easily catching up to the Old Sword Master's Flying Sword speed with his Physical Body.
Two hours later, Zhou Fan returned with the Old Sword Master's Storage Pouch.
To be fair, although this Old Sword Master was old, his Fourth Stage was genuinely not weak.
If he had met an ordinary Fourth Stage Cultivator today instead of Zhou Fan, even if he couldn't win, he would have successfully escaped.
However, Zhou Fan's Physical Body, after stacking the Great Sun Royal Body and Extreme Overlord Body, was simply too abnormal. Once the "Overlord" state was activated, the Old Sword Master's Low Grade Magic Treasure Flying Sword couldn't even break through Zhou Fan's defense.
After discovering this, the Old Sword Master, in a mix of shock and anger, unleashed his ultimate move, "Qiankun Heaven and Earth Sword," finally managing to barely pierce Zhou Fan's flesh. However, before the Old Sword Master could rejoice, the small injury Zhou Fan sustained recovered in the blink of an eye.
The Old Sword Master's mentality completely collapsed at that moment. After a feint with his sword, he fled, but was then caught by Zhou Fan, who punched his body into a spray of mist, and with the second punch, caused his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
Zhou Fan only used the "Overlord" state in this battle, not even employing the Great Sun Vision, which was completely unsatisfying.
The reason Zhou Fan took two hours to return was not because the Old Sword Master could last two hours, but mainly because the round trip to tens of thousands of miles in the sky took some time.
After returning to Guiyuan Sect, Zhou Fan did not speak to the bewildered Xiao Muqing.
He quickly rushed to the Qiankun Sword Sect, pulverized all eight other Personal Disciples under the Old Sword Master, then ostentatiously displayed his Fourth Stage Cultivation, announcing that the Old Sword Master had been killed by him and that the Qiankun Sword Sect would become an affiliated Sect of Guiyuan Sect from that day forward.
Upon hearing this, the Qiankun Sword Sect was in an uproar. A few who couldn't see the situation clearly still wanted to avenge the Old Sword Master. Zhou Fan immediately sent them on their way to join the Old Sword Master.
Under such iron-blooded methods, the remaining Qiankun Sword Sect Disciples and Elders instantly became docile and sensible. Zhou Fan was too lazy to care what they truly thought in their hearts; he simply plundered the Qiankun Sword Sect's treasury and left with a full harvest.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for single-handedly destroying the main hostile force in Son of Destiny Qin Li's original plotline and killing an important supporting character from the original plotline."
"Now granting the Host 16,000 Luck Points!"
"Is that all? System, although this old man's strength is ordinary, he's at least a Nascent Soul, right? Killing him only gives this much?"
"Reporting, Host! Because the original plotline of a Son of Destiny like Qin Li is not closely related to villains, and mainly consists of various female lead storylines, only this much Luck can be granted to the Host."
Zhou Fan thought about it and felt relieved. After all, his Fairy Master had provided him with a massive starting fund of 30,000 Luck Points when he first entered the Cultivation World.
Without those 30,000 Luck Points to start, Zhou Fan's strength growth would never have been this fast.
Thinking this way, it's fine if the villains in Li Di's original plotline give less; anyway, his mother has already given him enough.
Quickly returning to Guiyuan Sect, Zhou Fan informed Xiao Muqing of everything he had just done.
After Xiao Muqing processed this information, she recalled the handsome Young Master's conversation with the Old Sword Master in the main hall. Her pretty face flushed slightly, but her tone was firm.
"Senior, although I am very grateful to you, I was already engaged to another person many years ago."
"If Senior wishes to use this matter to coerce me and forcibly take my body, I, Xiao Muqing, would rather die than submit."
"Oh, still a chaste and virtuous woman."
Zhou Fan chuckled lightly, his tone leisurely: "Miss Xiao, actually, there's no need for us to be so formal. Speaking of which, we are family."
"What do you mean, Senior?" Xiao Muqing's expression remained very wary.
"You are Qin Li's fiancée, right? I am Qin Li's older brother."
Xiao Muqing was surprised upon hearing this: "You are Zhou Dage?"
Zhou Fan nodded, smiling: "It seems Li Di has already told you about me. I just don't know if he told you what Cultivation Technique he Cultivates?"
"Qin Lang, he didn't tell me about the Cultivation Technique."
Xiao Muqing remembered Qin Li mentioning in a letter that his mother, who was also her future mother-in-law, had taken on a Personal Disciple. Then, a few days later, this Zhou Dage started interacting with Qin Lang's mother-in-law.
Her pretty face became even redder, but her mood had already relaxed considerably.
She thought that since Zhou Dage and Qin Lang called each other brothers, as long as she firmly refused, Zhou Dage probably wouldn't make things difficult for her.
Seeing Xiao Muqing's expression, Zhou Fan immediately knew what she was thinking. So, without any concealment, he completely explained the characteristics of the Cultivation Technique that Qin Li practiced, the "Qing Ni Jue."
The more Xiao Muqing listened, the more surprised she became. After hearing about the embarrassing Cultivation method and Heaven-Defying side effects of the "Qing Ni Jue," she did not blame her husband, Qin Lang, in her heart.
Instead, she thought that Qin Li must have endured much suffering to Cultivate such a Cultivation Technique. If her own strength wasn't so weak, her husband wouldn't have to bear so much alone.
Zhou Fan sensed Xiao Muqing's Cultivation and found that this junior sister was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. He immediately, with a helpful attitude, offered to help her quickly improve her Cultivation, enabling Xiao Muqing to Breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage within half a month.
Xiao Muqing was very tempted, but she was also afraid that this Zhou Dage had ill intentions. After conservatively stepping back a few paces, she said that her body must be saved for Qin Lang until their wedding night, and she absolutely could not improve her Cultivation through Dual Cultivation.
Zhou Fan chuckled, telling Xiao Muqing that it wasn't Dual Cultivation. He was now a Body Cultivator and possessed a special Physique—the Great Sun Royal Body.
The reason the Great Sun Royal Body was called a Royal Body was because its possessor could produce something called Great Sun Essence.
After others consumed the Great Sun Essence, as long as their Cultivation was one major stage or more below the Great Sun Royal Body possessor, their Cultivation could be improved.
