Seven days had passed.
Chu Fengmian had entered the Hall of Saints, and seven days had gone by.
In these seven days, Chu Fengmian continuously refined his Nine Domains Sword Technique, spending most of his time comprehending the sword techniques recorded in the Sword Dao Ancient Books.
The framework of the Nine Domains Sword Technique was now fully refined by Chu Fengmian, and as long as he encountered more swordsmanship to integrate into it, it would be enough to advance the Nine Domains Sword Technique again.
The Nine Domains Sword Technique, created by Chu Fengmian, would grow stronger as his realm and strength improved.
In the future, it could even surpass any swordsmanship in the history of the Nine Domains.
Although Chu Fengmian’s realm and power had not changed, his mastery of the Nine Domains Sword Technique had transformed his Sword Intent.
The current Chu Fengmian was likely much more powerful than before he entered the Hall of Saints.
His bearing had undergone a tremendous change, taking on an air of nobility.
As for his strength, even Chu Fengmian himself was not sure to what extent he had reached, but facing the Supreme Elder, Chu Fengmian used to think he could only retreat unscathed.
Now, however, Chu Fengmian felt that, if he were to face the Supreme Elder, he might not be without the power to fight.
The enhancement in Sword Intent was not simply a matter of gaining strength; as Chu Fengmian grew stronger, his Sword Intent became more and more formidable.
The benefits he had gained went far beyond what was immediately apparent.
Chu Fengmian, now faced with a figure like the Undying Demon Lord, could seemingly obliterate with a wave of his hand.
The Undying Demon Lord was a formidable figure in his own right, but now in Chu Fengmian’s eyes, he was no more than an ant.
Chu Fengmian’s strength might not yet match those ancient beings who had surpassed the limits of the Life and Death Realm and stepped onto the Life and Death Platform, but he had surpassed the ordinary Life and Death Realm.
"With this strength, even without rashly crossing the great tribulation of life and death, I am now well-established in the Beimang Sacred Domain. At least, if Ye Tianjun wants to deal with me, I am fully capable of confronting him!"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes. This Ye Tianjun, he would eventually trample beneath his feet.
With a wave of Chu Fengmian’s hand, the space around him began to shift, gradually returning to its former state.
Chu Fengmian emerged from this strange space and re-entered the Hall of Saints. With a step, he strode away.
Just as Chu Fengmian left the strange space and returned to the Hall of Saints, suddenly a Jade Talisman inside his spatial ring began to flicker, revealing a message.
"Bai Xuan was abducted?"
A shadow fell over Chu Fengmian’s face. This message, coming from Bai Xuan herself, stated that she had been captured and taken away by several seed disciples working together.
Rescuing Bai Xuan would require Chu Fengmian to make his way to the Life and Death Platform.
The Life and Death Platform was where seed disciples of the Beimang Sacred Domain settled their grudges. Once on the platform, life and death were left in the hands of fate, and even if one killed their opponent, the academy would pursue no inquiry.
These people had abducted Bai Xuan to force Chu Fengmian onto the Life and Death Platform.
Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned frosty, and his rage was truly aroused.
If someone targeted him, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t care; he would confront an enemy soldier or cover a flooding river with earth, killing any that came his way.
But to capture Bai Xuan and threaten him was an outright violation of Chu Fengmian’s rules.
These people really don’t know whether they are alive or dead, daring to threaten Chu Fengmian. Threats from others are what Chu Fengmian hates most in his life.
"Very well. I want to see who is seeking death!"
Chu Fengmian’s figure suddenly moved and transformed into a beam of light that burst out from among the crowd at the holy hall.
"Such fast escaping light!"
"Who is it? How can they have such fast escaping light!"
Some disciples within the holy hall, upon seeing Chu Fengmian’s escaping light, were unable to discern his form for a moment and cried out in shock.
Some who, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, tried to stop Chu Fengmian were directly knocked flying, coughing up blood repeatedly.
This beam of light directly left the holy hall and flew swiftly towards the Life and Death Platform in the holy domain of Beimang.
Upon the Life and Death Platform.
Standing there are seven or eight people, all elite disciples of the Beimang Academy.
One of the women, standing to the side, was imposed with countless restrictions and was directly suppressed; she was Bai Xuan.
And the leader of this group was a handsome-looking man whose every move exuded an aura of nobility.
Beside him, strands of Spiritual Power were condensing, and they too were forming dragon scales, just like those of Chu Fengmian.
"Brother Long Weiyang, do you think Chu Fengmian will come?"
One of the elite disciples asked the man leading the group.
"Although we’ve captured Bai Xuan, the Life and Death Platform isn’t somewhere just anyone dares to set foot upon. He surely knows the danger; he hasn’t come for so long, could he have escaped?"
Another elite disciple also spoke up.
"This Chu Fengmian, after all, is a newcomer. What do we do if he doesn’t come?"
The leading man, Long Weiyang, snorted with cold laughter.
"Given this kid’s temperament, he will definitely come. If he doesn’t, I would have wasted my efforts in dealing with him."
"Brother Long Weiyang, this kid is already half-dead. He offended the Night Faction’s Demon Lord and even injured the brother of Lu Hua from the Wang Faction. We don’t have to act; neither the Demon Lord nor Lu Hua will let him off. Why should we make a move?"
An elite disciple asked with some confusion.
"There’s no need for our Dragon Faction to get involved, right?"
"Hmph, the martial techniques this kid uses are clearly of the dragon race. He has had a dragon encounter, and among those techniques are some that even I haven’t seen!"
Long Weiyang’s eyes glinted with greed.
"With these techniques, as long as I can obtain them, I’ll be able to defeat the Demon Lord, Lu Hua, and become the foremost person in the holy domain of Beimang. Then our Dragon Faction will become the largest force in the holy domain of Beimang!"
"Just watch. This Chu Fengmian kid has come, and I will surely slay him and seize all his fortunes!"
"Is that so? Slay Chu someone? Chu someone has now arrived. Let’s see how you can slay me!"
A voice, cold as ice, suddenly resounded. A beam of light swiftly descended onto the Life and Death Platform.
This figure was Chu Fengmian, whose face was filled with cold indifference.
Although his voice was chilly, the killing intent within was not concealed, making those who heard it shudder uncontrollably.
