Chapter 505 Awakening the Sword Body!
If Jun Xiaoyao were to make a move, he certainly wouldn't be discovered by the three members of the Luo Clan.
But what he cared about was never the Zhang family, but the whole world.
Zhang Xuanchen's growth is conducive to the stability of the future world.
The deaths of the Zhang family members will actually help Zhang Xuanchen grow!
His true form is the origin of the Longevity Stone, and his lifespan is endless.
It has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
The Zhang family was only a tiny part of his long life, and compared to the heavy responsibility he now bore to protect the common people, it seemed so insignificant.
Yes, he understands completely now.
The main reason why the deity created him and sent him to the mortal realm.
That is to protect all living beings and seek a glimmer of hope for all!
If destroying the Zhang family could lead to the complete annihilation of the extraterrestrial demons, he would not hesitate to destroy the Zhang family!
What he cared about was the common people, not just the Zhang family.
Therefore, he would not interfere in matters that would benefit Zhang Xuanchen's growth.
Forcibly intervening will only backfire.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Tianya Pavilion blocked the Luo Clan's attack for the Zhang family, thus saving the Zhang family from annihilation,...
That's already the most benevolent and righteous thing imaginable!
Nobody can find fault with it!
Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Bai Zijing, Yan Ruyu, and the others fell silent.
After a long while, Bai Zijing finally spoke, looking towards the location of the Luo clan.
He bowed again.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
"Um.
There is nothing in this world that happens without a cause, nor is there any fruit that has no root.
The threads connecting us are all in the unseen realm.
After saying that, Jun Xiaoyao disappeared from the spot and returned to the Zhang family, where he once again became a carefree and insignificant family servant, oblivious to everything else.
After Jun Xiaoyao left, Bai Zijing and Yan Ruyu exchanged a glance before disappearing into the void.
Somewhere in the void.
Luo Yuanhui, holding the recording stone, noticed that the group from Tianya Pavilion had not made any move for a long time.
He was extremely angry.
"Damn it! The people of Tianya Pavilion really don't care about the Zhang family's life or death!"
Originally, he planned to use the recording stone to expose Tianya Pavilion's secret assistance to the Zhang family and its involvement in worldly struggles.
This will ruin Tianya Pavilion's reputation.
But the idea is wonderful; reality is cruel.
Just as Yan Ruyu said, they came today only to stop the Luo clan from destroying the Zhang family.
That's it.
The Luo Clan bullied the weak, but Tianya Pavilion dispatched powerful individuals to protect the relatives of those who invested in the clan, without breaking the rules.
"Ugh."
Luo Yichen sighed inwardly.
He said, "Let's go, Tianya Pavilion won't make a move."
These are rules that have been in place for tens of thousands of years; they would never break them for the sake of the Zhang family.
Before the words had even faded, Luo Yichen had already left the skies above the Purple Cloud Mountains.
In his eyes, this life-or-death struggle was nothing more than a minor skirmish.
It has no meaning whatsoever.
As for helping the Zhang family eliminate their enemies?
Don't joke around. He's still seething with anger, how could he possibly help the Zhang family?
At this moment, he secretly vowed that when Zhang Xuanchen returned, he would teach him a lesson.
After all, it's up to him to decide how to conduct the test!
He simply refused to believe that a mere kid under thirty could defeat him!
……
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After safely returning the Radiant Sun Sword Leaf Grass to its family, the battle between the Zhang family and the Ninglu Sect, the Yunshan Sword Sect, and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan came to an end.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.
Deputy clan chief Zhang Hongzhan was dressed in mourning clothes.
Standing behind forty-seven coffins.
Standing beside him was Zhang Zujun, whose face was pale and who looked decades older.
Standing behind him were elders Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guangli, Zhang Guanghan, the hall master, and all the Zhang family disciples.
The Seventh Elder, Zhang Hongyi, had no arm.
The rest of the clansmen were all injured.
But fortunately, they are still alive.
Their eyes were bloodshot as they looked at the coffins placed in front of them.
The low sobs amplified the atmosphere of grief and indignation.
Just then, Zhang Hongzhan's voice rang out:
"In the battle of the Purple Cloud Mountains, forty-seven members of the clan perished."
They are, respectively, the Fourth Elder Zhang Zu'an, the Deputy Hall Master of the War Hall Zhang Guangqi, and the Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall Zhang Hongbei.
Zhang clan members, Zhang Guanglu, Zhang Guangguo, Zhang Hongmiao…
Zhang Hong read out the names of the fallen members of his clan one by one.
The voice was mournful and filled with resentment.
He wanted revenge, but he couldn't!
He cannot gamble with the lives of the remaining members of his tribe!
As he finished reading the last name, Zhang Hongzhan's eyes flickered slightly.
Firm tone:
They are family heroes!
Now, his name is engraved on the Monument to Heroes!
May our descendants worship us for generations to come!
"The name of heroes will never fade!"
As the words fell, Zhang Hongzhan bowed deeply toward the coffin.
The rest of the clansmen responded in unison!
"The name of heroes will never fade!"
The sound was deafening, startling the birds in the forest.
After standing up again, Zhang Hongzhan waved and shouted loudly:
"Enter! The ancestral mausoleum!"
After the coffins of his clansmen were laid to rest, Zhang Hongzhan turned to look at the crowd behind him.
"Gentlemen, this blood feud will surely be avenged by the Zhang family."
"Once the patriarch and clan leader return, the Ninglu Sect will surely pay for their blood debts!"
"The compensation for those who died in the battle of Ziyun Mountain Range will be doubled and distributed. Their children will be supported by their families. Those with spiritual roots will receive double the cultivation resources between the ages of seven and eighteen!"
The compensation for those who died in battle in the various affiliated forces must also be implemented in a timely manner.
There must be no mistakes!
……
The next morning.
Zhang Hongzhan led the fourteen-year-old Zhang Xuance to the depths of Huaguo Mountain, to the place where Xiao Tao lived.
This was Zhang Xuanchen's arrangement before he left.
The location of Xiaotao is protected by a restriction set up by Xuanjing. Although it is not strong, it is still enough to easily conceal the strange phenomena of heaven and earth revealed by the awakening of the sword body.
Deep within Huaguo Mountain, peach groves surround it.
At this moment, the restriction had been activated, and an invisible array had completely enveloped an area within a radius of one mile.
In the center of the great formation sat a sword furnace that was taller than a person.
At this time, Zhang Zujun, Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guangli, and the other six elders had all arrived.
His gaze toward Zhang Xuance was full of anticipation.
The Zhang family is finally about to produce a sword prodigy!
Zhang Xuance looked at the sword furnace in front of him, his eyes full of doubt.
Looking at Zhang Hongzhan beside him, he asked:
"Vice Chieftain, what is this?"
"Haha, Xuan Ce, this is the sword furnace, the material you will use to awaken your sword body."
"Sword Body? I possess a Sword Body?" Upon hearing the words "Sword Body," Zhang Xuance was both surprised and delighted.
Seeing this, Zhang Hongzhan laughed and said:
Yes, that's right!
You possess a sword-like body, something that was not mentioned before.
This is because the clan lacks the necessary materials for the sword.
