Chapter 25 In a Dire Situation! The Feud Between the Ziyun Sect and the Xiao Family.
Zhao Tianhai chuckled as he watched the naked youth fleeing ahead, his face turning sinister as he said, "Kid, you're running so fast, aren't you afraid your little bird will get caught on a branch?"
"If you know what's good for you, hand over the Earth Core Fire Crystal! I might spare your life!"
In his eyes, the Earth Core Fire Crystal was already his for the taking.
Although he was surprised that a mere Qi Refining Peak cultivator could unleash a speed comparable to the early Foundation Establishment stage, he himself was a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
We're not going to let him get away!
What!
Upon hearing Zhao Tianhai's words, Zhang Xuanchen finally realized what was happening.
He looked down sharply and saw his second brother standing there, looking bewildered in the wind.
Grass!
I was so focused on running away that I didn't even notice my clothes were burned off!
I'm truly impressed!
Just then, dozens of cultivators emerged from all directions.
A middle-aged female cultivator in a blue robe pointed her long sword and shouted, "Tianlan Sect disciples, listen to my command! The naked youth ahead is our target!"
Her eyes were fixed on a single spot on Zhang Xuanchen, without the slightest hint of shyness. Clearly, she had seen far too many things, big and small, thick and thin, to be affected by them.
Seeing so many cultivators surrounding him, Zhang Xuanchen cursed and instantly took out a gray robe and put it on.
"Disciples of the Xiao family, listen to my command! That young man in the gray robe is our target!"
Upon seeing the Xiao family disciples appear ahead, Zhang Xuanchen immediately turned around and ran towards the north, where there was no one!
Suddenly, a blade of light appeared in front of him like a ghost.
The blade's edge was enveloped in purple lightning arcs, making it extremely sharp.
My heart suddenly stopped beating!
Death—this was the first time Zhang Xuanchen had felt the threat of death!
Without the slightest hesitation, a second-tier top-grade Xuan Earth Shield Talisman was activated!
A layer of dark brown stone shield suddenly condensed in front of him, constantly rotating and shimmering with a halo of light!
boom!
With a loud bang, Zhang Xuanchen's body crashed into the ground like a cannonball.
Instantly, dust billowed up, obscuring the view of what was happening.
"Purple Blade Thunder Madness! Purple Blade Thunder Madness, who has already broken through to the peak of Foundation Establishment before the age of one hundred!"
"It's him! Rumor has it he possesses the three spiritual roots of thunder, fire, and metal, and claims to be a disciple of some rogue cultivator! I never expected him to appear here!"
"Holy crap! Even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator would struggle to withstand that strike! Will that Qi Refining kid be blasted to smithereens?"
"I don't think so. If that were the case, the Ziyun Sect, Tianlan Sect, Xiao Family, and Lei Kuang would have already started fighting. Why would they be standing here waiting?"
……
In a large crater in the ground.
Zhang Xuanchen felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered, and he couldn't muster any strength.
Purple arcs of electricity occasionally flickered across his body.
You can even smell a burnt smell!
Oh shit!
That's really ruthless!
He struggled to stuff a second-tier healing pill into his mouth.
The potent medicinal power instantly flowed throughout his body.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He struggled to his feet.
Fortunately, he had been holding the Xuan Tu Shield Talisman the whole time, and his physical strength had increased a lot with the help of the earth vein Xuan Yang Fire, otherwise he would have really been killed by this attack!
Seeing that there were forces blocking his way from all four directions, Zhang Xuanchen gave a wry smile!
That news travels really fast!
"Holy crap! This is unbelievable! This kid actually blocked the full-force attack of the Purple Lightning Blade! How is this possible?!"
"Did that kid just use some kind of magic weapon? We didn't see it?"
"Definitely! Otherwise, how could a Qi Refining cultivator block a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator?"
Lei Kuang paid no attention to the whispers of others.
As for feeling ashamed, that's even less true.
Having risen from a rogue cultivator to where he is now, he no longer cares about saving face.
Seeing Zhang Xuanchen struggling to his feet, a look of understanding appeared on his rugged face.
He said loudly, "Boy, if a Qi Refining cultivator can produce a second-tier top-grade Xuan Earth Shield Talisman, you must also be a member of a family."
I, Lei Kuang, have no intention of being your enemy, as long as you hand over the Earth Core Fire Crystal to me.
How about I save your life?
His voice was extremely confident, as if the people from the other three major forces were nothing but chickens and dogs in front of him.
After all, the Golden Core cultivators are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the dragon and two third-tier demons deep within the volcanic field.
They didn't care about anyone else at all.
Otherwise, how could a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators possibly compete for a third-tier treasure?
Even some lucky Qi Refining cultivators obtained third-tier spiritual herbs.
Zhao Tianhai's expression changed drastically upon hearing Lei Kuang's words.
Zhang Xuanchen is easy to deal with, but if the Earth Core Fire Crystal falls into Lei Kuang's hands, it will be troublesome.
Their own Golden Core Ancestor couldn't spare the time.
The opponent is known as an invincible being below the Golden Core stage, and even a fake Core cultivator can encounter him!
He immediately shouted, "Lei Kuang, you brat, stop being so arrogant! Threatening others in front of everyone, do you think our three major forces are just sitting around doing nothing?"
Then, looking at Zhang Xuanchen, his attitude changed swiftly, becoming friendly:
"Young friend, I am Zhao Tianhai, the fifth elder of the Ziyun Sect."
Judging from your young age, you have already cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining, showing extraordinary talent. Don't be fooled by Lei Kuang.
"Would you be willing to join my Purple Cloud Sect? I can make an exception and accept you as my personal disciple. What do you say?"
He had barely finished speaking when he heard a strange, sarcastic voice.
"Hehe, I say, old man Zhao, how come you have such a thick skin?"
We just saw you chasing this young friend, how come you changed your attitude so quickly?
"Is he trying to keep this young friend calm so he can then rob and kill him?"
The speaker was a handsome young man, none other than Xiao Changsheng, the young master of the Xiao family, who was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"Xiao Changsheng! Even your father wouldn't dare speak to me like that!" Zhao Tianhai glared angrily, his eyes fixed on the young man.
In response, Xiao Changsheng opened his folding fan, fanned himself gently a few times, and chuckled softly:
"You said it yourself, that's my dad."
My father's weakness doesn't mean I, Xiao Changsheng, am the same. What your Ziyun Sect owes my Xiao family, I will collect it all!
The Xiao family and the Ziyun Sect are blood enemies.
One hundred years ago, the Ziyun Sect launched a surprise attack while the Xiao family was undergoing a Golden Core transformation.
The patriarch, who was about to pass away, fought alone against three Golden Core cultivators, but died from exhaustion, buying time for his clansmen to escape.
To ensure the continuation of the Xiao family's bloodline.
Even the ancestor who had not yet broken through to the Golden Core stage broke through directly.
Self-destruction of the dantian.
Three Golden Core cultivators from the Purple Cloud Sect were severely injured.
This also bought the Xiao family members time to escape.
The Xiao family members also face endless pursuit from the Ziyun Sect.
Five years passed in this way. When the Xiao family patriarch, who was an elder in the Nascent Soul sect, learned of the news, he was able to leave the sect and return to the Xiao family by giving up all his wealth and promising to return to the sect when his lifespan was nearing its end to perform a spiritual infusion for the grandson of the sect's Grand Elder.
This saved the Xiao family from extermination.
The years of recuperation and rebuilding, along with the gathering of the clan, have allowed the tribe to recover much of its vitality.
As for whether there are any members of the Xiao family still living elsewhere.
Even they themselves didn't know.
