Chapter 112 Five Bells Ring
"Mo Hong, what are you doing?"
As this move was made, even before Hall Master Shi Yunjing could speak, Qian Yuhuan almost panicked to the point of losing his composure.
The holder of the Celestial Wanxiang Card, the most esteemed guest of the Wanxiang Sect. If he were to die here, Qian wouldn't have to worry about living either, as he would surely be minced into pieces by someone from headquarters.
A powerful force surged within him, and as he stepped out wanting to rush over and intercept, he saw a flash of saber glint. Mo Baiye blocked his way.
"Leader Qian, they are just dueling. Isn't it inappropriate for you to rush over like this?"
Qian Yuhuan's eyes narrowed. "Mo Baiye, are you trying to stop me?"
Mo Baiye shook his head. "Where would I get the nerve to stop you, Leader Qian? I just don't want the duel to be disturbed. Don't worry, Mo Hong knows his limits..."
Qian Yuhuan snorted coldly. "He'd better know his limits; otherwise, if something really happens to Young Master Zhang, I wouldn't mind erasing the Mo Blade Sect from existence!"
"This..."
Mo Baiye's eyelids twitched. Though filled with anger, he dared not say much more.
Despite being a 6-dan expert of the Galaxy Realm, he was significantly outmatched by Qian, not to mention Qian's backing from the Wanxiang Sect. If Qian really wanted him dead, even the Hall Master couldn't save him.
However, being threatened gave him a clear piece of information.
This Zhang Xuan's identity must be extraordinary; otherwise, Qian Yuhuan wouldn't be so protective of him.
This further confirmed his own evidence and judgment.
Unaware that Mo Baiye was intentionally blocking Qian Yuhuan, Zhang Xuan at this moment was intently watching the saber's glint.
Whoosh!
He stamped his foot on the ground and charged towards the light of the saber.
It looked like he was not dodging but instead rushing to his death. As long as Mo Hong didn't retract his saber, he could split him in half on the spot.
Just as everyone was tense, Mo Hong's saber glint finally fell, and only then did they realize that the sleek Mo Dao was less than a centimeter away from Zhang Xuan's nose, just missing it.
It was as if it had been calculated to perfection, not missing by even a hair.
"How is this possible?"
Mo Hong's pupils contracted as he continued to slash, his saber growing fiercer with each strike, the sound of it whooshing through the air causing the spectators to retreat over thirty meters away.
No matter how fierce his saber art was, Zhang Xuan managed to dodge it by a hair's breadth each time, making all his attacks miss directly.
"Impressive!"
Yan Sansan by now was too astonished to speak.
He realized that his reputed first place was nothing compared to Zhang Xuan.
Since it's indestructible and unique destiny, as the host, we naturally have to strike first.
It seems we must think about how to kill him without implicating ourselves.
...
"Truly worthy of someone who could obtain the Celestial Wanxiang Card..."
Seeing Mo Baiye turn away, Qian Yuhuan looked at Zhang Xuan again, full of admiration.
If there had been any doubt before, now he was one hundred percent certain that the other party must be a scion of some major family.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for him, not even reaching the Galaxy Realm, to frustrate Mo Hong at the pinnacle of 3-dan like this.
"Let's go!"
With a call, Qian Yuhuan strode towards the side hall.
Shi Yunjing also nodded in satisfaction and followed closely.
"You guys go back first..."
Zhang Xuan once again instructed Sun Qiang as he walked over.
It seemed unlikely that they would make him compensate anytime soon...
"Yes!"
Sun Qiang nodded, and just as he and the others were about to leave, they heard a melodious bell sound suddenly resonate from above.
The sound was loud, echoing throughout the entire Zouyi City, traveling at least dozens of miles in every direction.
"This..." Stay connected with empire
Qian Yuhuan stopped in his tracks, unable to help but look up.
"What's going on?"
Shi Yunjing was puzzled and looked over in confusion.
He knew there was a large bell at the top of Wanxiang Sect; it hadn't rung in decades, so why would it suddenly sound now, and so loudly?
"This is..."
Qian Yuhuan was initially confused and bewildered, then suddenly remembered something, his pupils sharply contracting and his expression changing, "Five chimes of the bell, three long and two short, disaster – a high-level expert is arriving... set up a formation!"
Following his loud command, the entire Wanxiang Sect was immediately enveloped in a glow, and in an instant, the defensive Array was activated.
"What's happening? Surely this isn't my fault..."
Zhang Xuan was also somewhat baffled and couldn't help looking towards the gate, only to see an elderly man suddenly appear, ignoring the defensive Array and slowly walking in.
