The outcome had been decided. Ye Fan retrieved the exquisite Celestial Artifact Flying Sword and took a step forward, instantly returning to the side of Ximen Piaopiao and the others.
However, upon Ye Fan's arrival, Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu all looked at him as if he were a monster.
Ye Fan furrowed his brows slightly, feeling somewhat speechless. "What kind of look is that?"
Heng Yuzhu was the first to speak. "Are you a monster?"
"A monster?" Ye Fan couldn't help but feel even more speechless. He shot Heng Yuzhu a sidelong glance. "Have you ever seen such a handsome monster?"
Heng Yuzhu shook her head in undeniable agreement.
Wu Qiuyang chimed in, "Not a monster, but also not human."
Ximen Piaopiao added, "Yeah, damn it, definitely not human!"
"Are you insulting me?" Ye Fan looked at Ximen Piaopiao, whose face was slightly pale due to the injuries sustained from Wenshan Zhensong earlier. He stepped closer and gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "Your injury... should be okay, right?"
As Ye Fan's hand rested on his shoulder, Ximen Piaopiao's complexion turned even paler. Gritting his teeth, he said, "If you take your hand away, my injury might be fine. But if you keep it there, I might just die soon!"
"Is it that serious?" Ye Fan feigned ignorance of Ximen Piaopiao's meaning, pressing down harder with his hand.
Although Ximen Piaopiao was powerful, he couldn't withstand the force emanating from Ye Fan's palm. He immediately wanted to curse and quickly pulled away to the side. "Night Fan Brother, are you trying to take my life?"
Ye Fan replied earnestly, "I'm just concerned about you!"
Ximen Piaopiao couldn't help but roll his eyes at that.
Concern? Was this what concern looked like?
But soon enough, Ximen Piaopiao's expression turned serious as he glanced toward the direction of the Wenshan Family and then said to Ye Fan, "Night Fan Brother, you displayed incredible power by defeating Wenshan Zhensong so thoroughly; it's simply astonishing."
"However, you've dealt such a heavy blow to Wenshan Zhensong; I'm afraid this might cause some trouble!"
Wu Qiuyang and Heng Yuzhu exchanged glances at Ye Fan, both nodding in agreement.
The killing intent emanating from Wenshan Chuyan and the strong members of the Wenshan Family as they looked at Ye Fan was almost palpable, easily sensed by anyone nearby.
Ye Fan nodded lightly, a hint of seriousness flashing across his face.
Yet, what truly concerned Ye Fan was not the Wenshan Family.
Although the Wenshan Family was one of the top families in Famous Sword City, second only to the Famous Sword Sect, they were still far from being significant enough to warrant Ye Fan's attention.
The reason for Ye Fan's solemn expression stemmed from the pressure exerted by the Xuan Wang Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Celestial Demon Domain.
Not long ago, he had broken through in his cultivation, revealing his aura. He couldn't help but wonder if anyone had guessed his identity or harbored suspicions!
"It seems I can't stay here in Famous Sword City any longer; I must leave as soon as possible!" Ye Fan thought to himself.
However, just as Ye Fan was contemplating how to bid farewell to Ximen Piaopiao and the others, a group of powerful figures suddenly approached them.
"Ye Fan, you really are impressive. To have caught the attention of two Celestial King Realm experts from my Famous Sword Sect is no small feat. Even that one..."
The newcomer wore a gray robe, exuding a robust aura. Behind him followed several strong members of the Famous Sword Sect. It was Wu Mo, a powerful figure from the Celestial Mansion Realm. He looked at Ye Fan with a smile but seemed hesitant to continue. He quickly changed his tone and said, "Forget it; let's cut to the chase. You all come with me!"
"Although the Famous Sword Festival has not yet concluded, you have all already qualified to enter the Famous Sword Sect, especially you, Ye Fan." Yuan Guang Sword Immortal said, "As long as you join my Famous Sword Sect, any resources for cultivation—be it techniques or sword arts—you will have access to them with just a word. My Famous Sword Sect will spare no effort in nurturing you. What do you say?"
"Rip—!!!!"
Ye Fan remained silent, but beside him, Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu all gasped in disbelief, their faces filled with shock as they looked at Wu Mo, then turned their envious gazes toward Ye Fan.
In Famous Sword City, the various powerful figures who had come to participate in the Famous Sword Festival also reacted similarly, gasping at Wu Mo's words.
"To exhaust the entire sect's resources to cultivate..."
The weight of that statement was evident.
As long as Ye Fan joined the Famous Sword Sect, he would soar to great heights.
It was likely that in the near future, he would become another decisive powerhouse of Sword Cloud Star.
"Join the Famous Sword Sect?"
However, when Ye Fan heard Wu Mo's words, he frowned slightly, showing none of the excitement and enthusiasm that everyone had expected.
This left the powerful figures of Famous Sword City momentarily stunned; even Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu were taken aback.
Looking at Ye Fan, Ximen Piaopiao said softly, "Yes, joining the Famous Sword Sect is a great opportunity, Night Fan Brother. Is there a problem?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Wu Mo echoed in confusion.
He had come to Ye Fan's side to say such things only because he had been instructed by Jade Spring Sword Immortal and Yuan Guang Sword Immortal.
Otherwise, with his status, how could he represent the Famous Sword Sect and make such a statement?
Moreover, Wu Mo could guess that Jade Spring Sword Immortal and Yuan Guang Sword Immortal had sent him this message because they were aware of Ye Fan's earlier confrontation with Wenshan Zhensong. Even the sect leader of his own Famous Sword Sect must have seen it.
Ye Fan looked at Wu Mo and gently shook his head amidst Wu Mo's puzzled expression. "I... do not intend to join the Famous Sword Sect!"
"What?"
Ye Fan's words left Wu Mo momentarily stunned, his gaze fixed on him in disbelief.
In Famous Sword City, where powerful figures and countless Heavenly Prodigies gathered, everyone was equally taken aback upon hearing Ye Fan's statement.
Even Ximen Piaopiao, Wu Qiuyang, and Heng Yuzhu wore expressions of incredulity.
"You don't intend to join my Famous Sword Sect?" Wu Mo questioned, unsure if he had misheard Ye Fan, his voice filled with disbelief as he asked again.
Ye Fan nodded lightly and replied, "That's correct!"
"This..."
As Ye Fan rejected the offer once more, Wu Mo clearly understood this time. He looked at Ye Fan, momentarily at a loss for words.
However, in the next moment, two imposing figures stepped out from the celestial palace floating in the distance and approached Ye Fan directly.
"Ye Fan, join my Famous Sword Sect; you may choose any of the Three Great Sword Halls."
"Indeed, even the Sword King's Palace where the sect leader resides is open to you if you wish to enter."
The two Celestial King Realm beings from Famous Sword Sect, Yuan Guang Sword Immortal and Jade Spring Sword Immortal, strode forward with commanding voices.
