Chapter 228 The murderer Ye Chen came up to lead him to death.

Hu Hao shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe it.

Cold Qingfeng, Chu Qiaoxuan, and others were equally stunned.

Truly, they were being repeatedly slapped in the face.

First, it was said that no one could ascend to the seventeenth level, yet Hu Hao achieved it.

Then Hu Hao claimed that no one could break the record.

However, Feng Wushuang did it.

She stood there quietly, her white clothes stained with blood, appearing fragile and battered, yet she was awe-inspiring.

"It's hard to imagine that the one who broke the record is none other than the once unknown Feng Wushuang."

"She really did it, trampling over the elites like Hu Hao."

The crowd was shocked and speechless.

Just a month ago, when Feng Wushuang issued her challenge to Hu Hao, Jin Yan, and others, they all scoffed at her, thinking she had no chance of winning and was only bringing shame upon herself.

But now, amidst millions of eyes, her glory shone brightly.

"Who said no one could break the record!"

With just a simple sentence, countless faces were slapped.

"This girl is not bad at all, actually breaking the record of the Yanyun Heavenly Stairs. What do you all think? If no one speaks up, I would like to invite her to join."

A voice suddenly came from within the imperial city, though it was unclear who it belonged to, it was definitely from a noble.

In an instant, the crowd erupted once again.

Feng Wushuang was indeed being valued by the imperial court and was being invited to become a core disciple.

She really did it, surpassing the elite and entering the imperial court. From now on, she would ascend to new heights and leave even the Five Peaks Sword Sect unwilling to provoke her.

"My god."

Ten miles away, Wuxing Zhenren and Feng Yangzi trembled violently, their hearts pounding as if they were about to jump out of their chests.

Especially Feng Yangzi, remembering his disdain for Feng Wushuang a month ago, he couldn't believe she had actually achieved it. If the Wuxing Sect produced a genius capable of becoming a core disciple of the imperial court, the position of the entire Wuxing Sect would skyrocket.

"You've done well!"

Wuxing Zhenren glared fiercely at Feng Yangzi, then swiftly flew away, not even bothering to look at Jian Xinghe anymore.

Feng Yangzi's heart trembled as he hurriedly followed.

The high-level members of the Wuxing Sect followed suit.

"Feng Wushuang, regarding the matter of the imperial city, I am not aware of it. Feng Yangzi and Jin Yan's behavior is truly despicable. I have decided to expel them from the sect. Wushuang, you are still a disciple of the Wuxing Sect."

Wuxing Zhenren shamelessly declared.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Feng Yangzi and Jin Yan were shocked. Wuxing Zhenren was actually going to expel them from the sect.

This scene was eerily similar to when they expelled Feng Wushuang.

"Shut up! Don't call me master and sect leader anymore. You two are no longer members of the Wuxing Sect." Wuxing Zhenren scolded, then looked expectantly at Feng Wushuang. "Wushuang, come back."

The crowd remained silent, but inwardly criticized Wuxing Zhenren's shamelessness.

Before Feng Wushuang showed her talent, had he ever said such things?

At this moment, Feng Wushuang ignored him and looked at Jin Yan and Hu Hao, coldly saying, "We had an agreement, a bet. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?"

"Why don't you kneel down yet, Feng Yangzi, you too." Wuxing Zhenren rebuked.

Jin Yan's expression was ugly, and Feng Yangzi's mouth twitched. If they knelt down in front of millions of people, they would lose all face.

"Feng Wushuang, it's best to leave room for yourself."

At this moment, Hu Tianming, along with many high-level members of Qing Shui Cliff, arrived. Jian Xinghe and other strong figures also strolled over.

Hu Hao, Cold Qingfeng, and several disciples of the Five Peaks Sword Sect were all outstanding figures. If they truly knelt down, they would not only lose their own face but also their sect's reputation.

"So, are you planning to go back on your word?"

Feng Wushuang ignored Hu Tianming and looked at Hu Hao and the others, saying coldly, "You all consider yourselves outstanding, but you are not even as good as me. You call yourselves elites, but now, you can't even fulfill your own words. Are you worthy of being called elites, worthy of being people?"

Hu Hao and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, but they were defeated. How could they refute her?

If they said a word, they would only lose face.

"Just eighteen steps, and you think you've defeated all the elites?"

At this moment, a proud voice resounded, followed by a streak of light piercing through the sky. He was dressed in a flaming robe, majestic and imposing.

"It's Qing Yangzi, he's finally here!"

The crowd exclaimed.

They saw Qing Yangzi flying in rapidly, directly stepping onto the Yanyun Heavenly Stairs as if it were flat ground.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Qing Yangzi walked ten steps with a strong posture before slowing down slightly, but there was no halt, and he continued forward.

"What a powerful Feng Yangzi, the Yanyun Heavenly Stairs are like nothing under his feet."

"He truly deserves to be one of the most outstanding geniuses of this generation in Great Yan. Even the core disciples of the imperial court are rare to match him, let alone surpass."

"Who dares to refuse the invitation of the nobles, yet has no ability."

The crowd trembled with excitement.

Soon, Qing Yangzi reached seventeen steps, coming to Feng Wushuang's side. Another step, and he could break the record.

And he didn't seem to be struggling at all, showing that breaking the record was not difficult; it was about whether he could surpass it.

Sure enough, Qing Yangzi stood on the eighteenth step of the Heavenly Stairs, and then he continued stepping forward.

One step, breaking the record!

"He broke the record, Qing Yangzi is amazing!"

The crowd was ecstatic, even Wuxing Zhenren, Hu Tianming, Jian Xinghe, and others were shocked.

Qing Yangzi had broken the record that had stood for a hundred years.

At this moment, his radiance completely overshadowed Feng Wushuang.

What was even more shocking was that Qing Yangzi's steps didn't stop, and he took three more steps before finally spitting out blood and halting his pace.

"Twenty-two steps, not only is this the highest record in a hundred years, but perhaps no one has reached this step in the past thousand years."

The billions of people were shocked.

Wuxing Zhenren's expression was grim.

Jin Yan, Feng Yangzi, Hu Hao, Cold Qingfeng, and others burst into laughter.

Their laughter was filled with self-deprecation, pride, and mockery as they looked at Feng Wushuang.

Just eighteen steps, breaking the record, and you think you're unrivaled?

In front of Qing Yangzi, you're just an ant.

"Just eighteen steps, and you're proud of it?" Qing Yangzi looked down at Feng Wushuang with a mocking gaze as he stood on the twenty-second step of the Heavenly Stairs. Then he looked up at the imperial city and said, "If I, Qing Yangzi, join the imperial court, can I refuse Feng Wushuang?"

With these words, the crowd gasped in shock, then fell silent.

It was easy to guess the attitude of the imperial court.

Although Feng Wushuang was dazzling, the powerful Qing Yangzi was even more dazzling, completely trampling her underfoot and crushing her meager glory.

"Feng Wushuang, you disrespect your elders, and the Wuxing Sect doesn't need someone like you."

Wuxing Zhenren immediately spoke out. If it weren't for Qing Yangzi's words, he would have tried to recruit Feng Wushuang again. But now, the imperial court would never accept her again, so he had to do this.

"Shameless!" Feng Wushuang said coldly.

Although she had never thought of returning to the Wuxing Sect, the change in attitude of Wuxing Zhenren was truly shameful.

Qing Yangzi laughed three times, didn't even look at Feng Wushuang, and instead scanned the crowd, shouting, "Ye Chen, the murderer, come up and face death!"
