"Suspicion? Show your evidence."

Facing the oppressive aura of the Celestial Level martial artist, Wang Xu remained utterly unmoved.

The person who was killed was named Bi Qi, who was murdered near the Wu Cang Mountain Range. Recently, no disciple has entered the Wu Cang Mountain Range, except for you!"

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe shouted harshly, "You are a First-Class Earth Level martial artist. It couldn't be easier to deal with a Third-Class Earth Level martial artist. Moreover, according to my investigation, Bi Qi once had a conflict with you, naturally making you the biggest suspect!"

"Once again, evidence. Without evidence, just based on your suspicion, I'm not going anywhere with you."

Wang Xu did not retreat an inch.

"You..."

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe was at a loss for words.

He indeed had no evidence.

Even if all the suspicions and all directions pointed to Wang Xu, he had no evidence to prove that Wang Xu was the murderer.

If the corpse still existed, perhaps traces on the wounds could lead to judgment.

But now Bi Qi's corpse is missing, with not a single clue. How could evidence be found?

"Senior, wait until you have evidence, then it won't be too late to take me to the Execution Hall."

After leaving a remark, Wang Xu, along with Ya Sang, transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the outer layer of Kunlong.

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe watched Wang Xu leave with hatred but had no recourse.

...

To prepare for the upcoming competition for inner layer discipleship, the top ten outer layer disciples continuously faced challenges.

However, no matter the challenges, the positions of the top ten outer layer disciples remained unshakeable, as stable as a rock.

Upon delivering the mission at the Outer Layer Affairs Hall, the person in charge appeared as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Wang Xu.

When Wang Xu placed the key materials of ten Earth Level fierce beasts before the person in charge, it elicited a wave of gasps.

It was truly something unexpected accomplished by one of the top ten outer layer disciples.

Hunting ten First-Class Earth Level fierce beasts and safely returning to the sect.

Unbelievable!

"These are your task points. You can go to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for Martial Techniques Secret Techniques, go to the Weapon Storage Pavilion to exchange for Divine Weapons, or visit the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for the rare treasures you need."

The person in charge of the Affairs Hall showed a significant change in attitude.

Wang Xu did not say much.

Through this mission, Ya Sang became a Middle-Class disciple, and Wang Xu became a High-Class disciple.

Both moved out of their dilapidated thatched huts into wooden houses and comfortable brick-and-tile houses.

Now, Wang Xu had the qualifications to challenge the top ten outer layer disciples.

Kunlong Outer Layer Scripture Pavilion.

"Go in. All the Martial Techniques Secret Techniques inside are clearly marked with prices. After choosing, pay with task points."

The lazy old guardian of the Scripture Pavilion said, continuing to lie on the rocking chair enjoying a sunbath.

The Scripture Pavilion is divided into three layers.

The first layer is for elementary and middle-class disciples to choose ordinary martial techniques; the second layer is for high-class disciples to select low-tier secret techniques; the third layer is only accessible to the top ten outer layer disciples, indicating that the secret techniques within must be very advanced.

Wang Xu went directly to the second layer.

Like many outer layer disciples, Wang Xu browsed, selected, and searched for suitable secret techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.

The secret techniques are not cheap, naturally possessing unparalleled power.

Wang Xu once fought Fu Jinlei, who possessed a low-tier secret technique.

That Three-inch Dyeing Light Saber, just resting on Wang Xu's neck, broke through his body forged by the Fourth Layer of the "Golden Spirit Scripture."

This shows the formidable power of the low-tier secret technique.

"Wang Xu, browse through all the low-tier secret techniques!"

At this moment, the voice of You Ji echoed in Wang Xu's mind.

"What are you plotting?" Wang Xu asked.

"No matter how fitting these secret techniques are for you, they are ultimately created by others. You and I are one; the secret techniques I create will be one hundred percent compatible with you, trust me!"

You Ji chuckled wickedly, "As for the reward, you understand."

"I need a high-tier secret technique, can you create one?"

Wang Xu said indifferently.

"Isn't it just a high-tier secret technique? What's the big deal? As long as you let me devour a few Celestial Level martial artists, I guarantee to create a high-tier secret technique for you!"

You Ji vowed with confidence.

Wang Xu spoke no more to him, took a secret technique, and quickly browsed through it.

"Next one."

You Ji's memory was so retentive that in just dozens of seconds, he had thoroughly memorized the entire secret technique.

Wang Xu, following the same pattern, browsed through all the secret technique books on the second layer.

Wang Xu's actions left the surrounding outer layer disciples baffled.

The two hours allotted for selection flew by, and Wang Xu's identity wooden token began to emit a buzzing sound.

"I want this secret technique."

Wang Xu, holding a secret technique named "Three Pristine Vein-Cutting Saber," spoke to the old guardian.

"The 'Three Pristine Vein-Cutting Saber,' a low-tier secret technique, requires task points, thirty thousand. Remember, this secret technique cannot be shown to others or sold, otherwise, it will be deemed a violation of the sect's iron rules, leading to expulsion. Understand?"

Wang Xu handed over the thirty thousand task points on the spot and left the Scripture Pavilion.

The "Three Pristine Vein-Cutting Saber" was merely a ruse Wang Xu used casually. The secret technique he truly intended to cultivate was still being created by You Ji.

Kunlong Outer Layer Treasure Pavilion.

"I need a space ring."

Wang Xu said to the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Space Ring? You mean the Sumeru Storage Ring, right? What size do you need?"

The person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion introduced to Wang Xu, "The minimum size is ten feet, requiring five thousand task points, the middle size is thirty feet, requiring ten thousand task points, and the maximum size is fifty feet, requiring fifteen thousand task points."

"Middle size."

Wang Xu did not choose the largest size, as he still needed to go to the Weapon Storage Pavilion to select weapons, so he had to save his points.

After paying the task points, Wang Xu obtained a fiery red Sumeru Storage Ring.

With his Spiritual Consciousness infiltrating it, a spacious area of thirty feet immediately emerged.

Kun Dragon Outer Layer Weapon Storage Pavilion.

"I'll take this 'Blood Dragon Cicada Wing Saber'."

The Blood Dragon Cicada Wing Saber was a low-tier Primordial Power treasure.

Although it was only low-tier, it still belonged to the category of Primordial Power treasures, which were quite valuable.

"Fifty-six thousand task points."

A low-tier Primordial Power treasure nearly exhausted Wang Xu's remaining task points.

A secret technique, a Sumeru Storage Ring, and a Blood Dragon Cicada Wing Saber left Wang Xu with only four thousand task points.

One hundred thousand task points were completely consumed in such a short time.

If other outer disciples knew, they would definitely exclaim that Wang Xu was wasting his resources.

One must know that a high-class outer disciple, without eating or drinking, purchasing any cultivation resources, or changing weapons or cultivating new secret techniques, would need a long ten years to accumulate a hundred thousand task points!

The reason everyone thought Wang Xu was unlucky to go to the Wu Cang Mountain Range was that obtaining these hundred thousand task points was akin to an impossible feat.

Wang Xu was indeed an anomaly in their eyes.

He not only killed countless Earth-level fierce beasts but also slew Celestial-level demon beasts.

This kind of achievement was something even the top ten outer disciples found hard to match.

"Ya Sang, use these Qi Blood Pills to quickly enhance your strength."

With the remaining four thousand task points, Wang Xu purchased a large number of Qi Blood Pills.

Qi Blood Pills were not very helpful to Wang Xu, but for the mortal-level martial artist Ya Sang, they were miracle elixirs with excellent effects.

"Hmm, thank you, Wang Xu."

Ya Sang smiled sweetly.

Three days later, You Ji's secret technique was finally completed.

"Actually, I finished this secret technique two days ago, but to perfect its loopholes and enhance its power, I deliberately delayed it for two days. You'll understand once you cultivate it."

You Ji laughed with a chuckle.

Wang Xu closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged and floating in the air, with a large amount of information echoing in his mind.

You Ji had given him a low-tier sword secret technique named "Pure Yang Infinite Saber."

The "Pure Yang Infinite Saber" was different from any sword technique Wang Xu had cultivated before, focusing on one point only – speed!

Supreme Yang and Firm, Infinite and Formless.

The faster the blade, the more it could bring out the true power of this sword technique.

This was the essence of this sword technique.

Wang Xu completely closed off all his senses, entering the state of comprehending the "Pure Yang Infinite Saber."

Meanwhile, outside Wang Xu's residence.

"Elder of the Sect, this is the residence of the disciple I'm talking about who slaughtered his fellow disciples."

A middle-aged man in a yellow robe stood respectfully beside an old man dressed in blue and white robes, "This person goes by the name Wang Xu. The day I noticed Bi Qi of the Martial Sect was found dead, I deduced the perpetrator had entered the Wu Cang Mountain Range. For a month thereafter, nobody went into the Wu Cang Mountain Range except for this disciple, who emerged from it."

"I suspect this person is likely the culprit behind the murder of fellow disciples."

The Elder of the Sect said nothing, his gaze fixed on the brick house, seeing through the bricks to where Wang Xu was floating in the air cultivating.

"Observe and wait."

A moment later, the Elder of the Sect spoke, "He is a first-class Earth-level martial artist, and in two months, the inner layer qualification competition will take place, and he is bound to participate. At that time, he will surely reveal some traces. Keep a close watch on him, and if he truly is the culprit, execute him on the spot!"

"Yes, Elder."

...

A month quickly passed...

As the moment for the inner layer qualification competition drew nearer, the battles became increasingly fierce.

The top ten outer disciples were challenged every day by over a hundred high-class disciples. Even though these high-class disciples were not their equals in combat, many did not give up, unwilling to miss a chance to seize a position.

"Boom!"

A blue-robed figure was knocked backward, landing on the ground with a dusty face.

"Next!"

An Yilong, wielding an Ice Blue Axe, declared arrogantly.

Recently, the number of outer disciples seeking to challenge him increased.

Because he was ranked tenth among the top ten outer disciples, many outer disciples believed his strength to be the weakest among them, all wanting to take his place.

After battling for a month, An Yilong dealt with dozens of challengers daily, showing no pity for these weaklings.

With each strike, he sent a challenger flying.

He showed no courtesy whatsoever.

In the face of An Yilong's somewhat contemptuous taunt, the spectating outer disciples chose to remain silent.

In over a month, they had witnessed hundreds of outer disciples fall at An Yilong's hands.

No one could shake An Yilong's position.

"I'll do it."

Suddenly, a nonchalant voice came from the rear of the crowd. Everyone was startled, turning to see a black-robed figure walking slowly toward them.

Accompanying the black-robed figure was a beautiful girl at the seventh layer of the mortal level, but no one paid attention to this; all eyes were on the black-robed figure. (To be continued.
