Tang Ye hesitated for a moment before he said, “The Sword Control Technique!” She’d watched the entire process, so he felt that it wasn’t necessary to conceal its name from her. Murong Yao’s eyes lit up as she said, “Is it a technique of my Sword Sect? If it is, then why haven’t I heard of it?” Tang Ye shook his head and said, “It’s a technique of my own. It doesn’t belong to the Sword Sect.” “How could that be possible!?” Murong Yao was slightly astounded. As far as she was concerned, it was impossible for such a peerlessly refined sword technique to not belong to the Sword Sect! After all, if it was in terms of the sword, then even the Origin School couldn’t compare to the Sword Sect! “Do I have any reason to deceive you?” Tang Ye spoke indifferently. After a short while of silence, Murong Yao said, “I’m very interested in this technique of yours!” “Oh,” said Tang Ye before he continued. “I’m very interested in many things, but it doesn’t mean that they belong to me.” “I can make an exchange for it with other sword techniques!” Murong Yao made an offer. “For example, that secret technique I utilized to conceal my aura. I noticed that you were very shocked by it!” Tang Ye shook his head and said, “I was really shocked indeed, but I’m not interested in making any exchange!” “No one refuses me!” Murong Yao’s expression gradually turned icy cold. Tang Ye glanced at her and said, “If you attack me, then I guarantee the Sword Sect will lose one of its candidates that will be participating in the Ascension Rankings. You can give it a try if you don’t believe me.” Murong Yao cracked a smile, and her smile was slightly charming as she said, “The inner court disciples said that you were very arrogant and extremely proud. I can be considered to have experienced it today. But are you really confident in your ability to kill me? Even though that sword technique you executed earlier was very terrifying to the point it can kill a King Realm expert, but let me tell you honestly, if that’s what you’re relying on, then it’s far from being sufficient!” With a command in his heart, the swords that were revolving around him returned into the sword chest, and then he placed the sword chest into his vortex Dantian. After that, he said, “Practically no one comes here, so I presume you came looking for me. Tell me, why did you come looking for me?” He had no intention to argue about meaningless things like that with her. “You’re going to participate in the Ascension Rankings?” asked Murong Yao. Tang Ye nodded. “I originally didn’t understand why the Sword Sect agreed to allow someone at the second rank of the First Heaven Realm to participate in the Ascension Rankings, but I understand now. With that sword technique of yours, all those fellows from the inner court are inferior to you,” said Murong Yao. “You came looking for me just to see if I possessed the qualifications to participate in the Ascension Rankings?” Tang Ye gazed at Murong Yao as he spoke. She smiled and said, “Yes, but not anymore. There’s a King Rank Darkbeast on Death Mountain Range, and a few of us disciples who are participating in the Ascension Rankings intend to hunt and kill that King Rank Darkbeast. Firstly, we can gain contribution points from the sect, and secondly, we can temper ourselves. Are you interested in joining us? It’s a very rare opportunity to be able to battle a King Rank Darkbeast!” “You intend to kill that Earth Bear King?” Tang Ye was shocked. Murong Yao nodded and said, “What is it?” “Do the higher-ups of the Sword Sect know about this?” Tang Ye frowned as he asked this question. Murong Yao shook her head and said, “This was privately decided amongst a few of the disciples who are participating in the Ascension Rankings, and we didn’t notify the elders!”Tang Ye’s face sank as he said, “Who proposed this?” “OuTang Yan!” Murong Yao said, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” “No. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t be participating.” As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ye turned around and headed towards the entrance of the gorge. However, his brows were constantly knit together tightly. Murong Yao’s beautiful brows were knit together slightly. After a short while, she shook her head and left the gorge as well.
