Chapter 149 The Self-Destruction Power of a Tier 5 Spiritual Artifact! The Pragmatist Zhou Tianjian.
On the way to the Sword Tower, Zhang Xuanchen's feelings were extremely complicated.
Although Han Ming's words and actions were not humane, they were not without reason.
If this news gets out, it will inevitably cause chaos in the city.
That would prove that the Immortal City is definitely not strong enough to resist, and they might come to ambush and kill without making sufficient preparations.
This will only lead to more deaths.
Sigh, still too weak.
At the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, one is only slightly better off than cannon fodder in this battle.
Hopefully, those evil cultivators will kill fewer defenseless mortals and low-level cultivators after they enter the city.
The idea was silly, but in this situation, it was the only thing he could do.
It is obvious which is more important, the life of a clansman or the life of a stranger.
Sword Tower.
It is the residence and cultivation ground of disciples, stewards, and elders of the Jiuhua Sword Sect.
Located in the center of the Immortal City, above a mid-grade third-tier spiritual vein.
The concentration of spiritual energy there far exceeds that of other places.
"Halt! Who are you? What are you doing here?" A hundred meters away from the Sword Tower, Zhang Xuanchen was stopped by two young men dressed in the outer disciple robes of the Nine Hua Sword Sect.
Upon seeing the two arrive, Zhang Xuanchen immediately unleashed his mid-Foundation Establishment stage strength, his tone neither humble nor arrogant:
"My two young friends, we have come to find the young sect leader Zhou Tianjian on the orders of your esteemed clan's disciple, Luo Lingshuang."
Please inform them.
"In the name of Uncle-Master Luo? How can you prove it?" The taller young man looked at Zhang Xuanchen, clearly disbelieving.
He had never heard of Luo Ling Shuang having such a subordinate.
If Zhang Xuanchen isn't wearing the Nine Hua Sword Sect's disciple robes, then he's not a disciple of the Nine Hua Sword Sect. If we let him into the Sword Tower without clarifying the situation, and something goes wrong, they'll both lose their heads.
Hearing his question, Zhang Xuanchen was dumbfounded. He needed proof? He didn't have any.
"It's you."
Just as he was about to say that Luo Lingshuang was his guarantor when he registered, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
The speaker was none other than Zhao Tianyang, who had just finished chatting with Zhou Tianjian.
At this moment, Zhao Tianyang was riding high, feeling like he was basking in a spring breeze.
The corners of his mouth are harder to suppress than an AK.
He didn't know Zhang Xuanchen personally, but he had seen him before.
A few days ago, when Luo Lingshuang taught Li Na a lesson, Zhang Xuanchen was also there.
The two are clearly together.
It's hard not to notice.
Unexpectedly, he was actually a mid-Foundation Establishment expert.
He walked towards the three of them and bowed to Zhang Xuanchen.
"Junior Zhao Tianyang greets senior."
Zhang Xuanchen had a good impression of Zhao Tianyang. Regardless of whose orders he was on, his actions to protect the Zhang family were genuine.
He laughed and said, "Young friend Zhao, there's no need for such formalities. I'm just a rogue cultivator, and I can't possibly accept the respect due to a disciple of the Nine Hua Sword Sect."
Zhao Tianyang smiled without saying a word. He wouldn't have bowed to any other rogue cultivator, but could someone who could follow behind Luo Lingshuang be an ordinary person?
He observed it very clearly at that time.
When Luo Lingshuang left, she stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Xuanchen.
If this were just an ordinary rogue cultivator, Zhao Tianyang would eat shit while standing on his head!
"Greetings, Senior Brother Zhao."
The two men bowed to Zhao Tianyang as he approached, and then asked:
"Senior Brother Zhao, you know him?"
"I know him. He's a friend of Uncle Luo," Zhao Tianyang nodded.
Upon hearing this, the two quickly bowed to Zhang Xuanchen.
"Jiahao (Jiaming) greets senior. We were blind just now, please forgive us."
"It's alright, you're just following the rules."
Zhang Xuanchen waved his hand, then looked at Zhao Tianyang and said:
"Young friend Zhao, I have something important to discuss with the young sect leader."
May I go in?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyang replied, "Of course, please, senior."
Zhao Tianyang stepped aside slightly to make way for him, his attitude very respectful.
Zhang Xuanchen also knew that he had benefited from Ling Shuang's influence once again.
However, he did not refuse and walked into the Sword Tower.
Zhao Tianyang did not leave, but walked to the side to lead the way.
"Mysterious Mirror, just how powerful is the spiritual weapon on Ling Shuang's body that it makes the Nine Hua Sword Sect so concerned and wary?"
This time, Zhang Xuanchen finally voiced the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
Xuanjing didn't hide anything and replied, "With Ling Shuang's current strength, if she uses the Tide Lotus Lamp normally, she can barely withstand a late-stage Golden Core cultivator."
A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator can defeat them, but cannot kill them.
If one were to risk enduring the backlash, one could unleash the full power of two Nascent Soul stage or even mid-stage cultivators.
Just like in the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm.
"Although this is very strong, it is not enough to make the Nine Hua Sword Sect wary, right? After all, Ling Shuang is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."
"There must be a way to steal a spiritual artifact." Zhang Xuanchen was still somewhat confused.
After all, Luo Lingshuang came alone, and it's impossible for the higher-ups of the Nine Hua Sword Sect not to have any ideas when they see a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a spiritual weapon.
Upon hearing this, Xuanjing chuckled, "If it were a fourth-tier spiritual weapon, they would definitely kill him to silence him."
However, the self-destruction power of a fifth-tier spiritual weapon is something that only a Nascent Soul cultivator can withstand.
"That's enough to annihilate the entire Nine Hua Sword Sect. Do you think they'd dare to lay a hand on Ling Shuang?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was greatly shocked.
No wonder the Nine Hua Sword Sect didn't make a move against Luo Ling Shuang.
Unless someone has a death wish, who would deploy a nuclear bomb?
Before long, the two arrived at the door of a private room.
Zhao Tianyang knocked on the door twice.
"Enter."
Hearing the sound, the two pushed open the door and entered.
As soon as I entered, I saw a young man in a brocade robe with a cold face sitting in a seat, looking at the letter in his hand.
His brows were furrowed, and his complexion was not good.
He looked up and said gently:
"Tianyang, why are you back again? And who is this?"
Before Zhao Tianyang could introduce them, Zhang Xuanchen took the initiative to say, "Li Feiyu greets the young sect master."
I have important matters to discuss with you today.
About a week later...
Zhang Xuanchen repeated what he had said to Han Ming, and also explained Han Ming's plan.
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent, with only the sound of Zhou Tianjian's fingers tapping on the table.
Two and a half minutes later.
Zhou Tianjian sighed heavily: "Alas~"
Given the current situation, there's only one solution, as Uncle Han mentioned. My Nine Hua Sword Sect... I'm so sorry to them.
His face was filled with guilt, then he turned to look at Zhang Xuanchen, "Fellow Daoist Li, you must have come here today for other matters, right?"
"The young sect leader is right."
Zhang Xuanchen nodded and continued, "Luo Zhenchuan asked me to pass on a message to you, instructing you to bring the Zhang family members to Canglan Immortal City when you leave."
After it's all done, she promises to help you vie for the position of sect leader.
Upon hearing this, he suddenly stood up, his face beaming with joy, and quickly went to Zhang Xuanchen's side. "Is this true?"
"It's true, Luo Zhenchuan told me himself."
"Hahaha."
Zhou Tianjian laughed loudly, "Alright, leave this matter to me."
I will definitely not let Uncle Luo down.
Fellow Daoist Li, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is your relationship with Uncle Luo?
Of course, it's okay if you don't say anything.
Zhang Xuanchen replied, "There's nothing wrong with saying it. Luo Zhenchuan saved my life, and to repay her, I want to become her subordinate."
She happened to need someone to run errands, so she took me in.
"I see." Zhou Tianjian nodded slightly, then looked at Zhao Tianyang and said:
"Look at my brain, I was just talking."
Tianyang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and serve tea to Fellow Daoist Li.
"No need to trouble yourself. I still have some things to take care of. Once I've finished, I'll leave Daojian Immortal City as soon as possible," Zhang Xuanchen said, bowing in refusal.
"Very well, then I, Zhou, will not stop you, fellow Daoist."
"Young Sect Master, farewell."
After Zhang Xuanchen left, Zhou Tianjian looked at Zhao Tianyang and asked, "Tianyang, do you think what Li Feiyu said is true?"
Zhao Tianyang hesitated for a moment before replying:
"The matter of him being an evil cultivator is true, but his relationship with Uncle Luo is false."
"Senior Brother Zhou, do you think we should send someone to investigate Li Feiyu and the Zhang family?"
Zhou Tianjian directly shook his head and rejected the suggestion:
"No need. It's not easy to get an opportunity to gain Uncle Luo's support."
If this displeases Uncle Luo, it would be a loss rather than a gain.
