The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

He was determined to cripple Jiang Chuan, shouting, "A mere lackey dares to act so arrogantly in the Immortal Sect? It's outrageous! Today, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Seeing Zhao Weiyuan's menacing approach, Jiang Chuan also drew his sword.

This battle is unavoidable.

"Fine, let's fight if we want to."

The two figures clashed, their sword energy swirling around them.

Those around were caught off guard and were overturned by the sword energy, their stalls smashed into a mess, creating a chaotic scene.

Although Jiang Chuan's cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Knowledge Realm, he fought fiercely against Zhao Weiyuan with his tenacious fighting spirit.

As a prince of Yan, Zhao Weiyuan was used to being arrogant, but now he went all out and his sword moves were fierce.

Jiang Chuan gradually lost his strength and was knocked away by Zhao Weiyuan, crashing into a roadside herbal medicine shop.

"Hmph, let's see how you struggle now!" Zhao Weiyuan chased after them to the shop, pointed his sword at Jiang Chuan, and shouted viciously:

"To betray my Great Yan is to face only death!"

In the critical moment, Wang Han stepped forward and shouted, "Stop hurting people!" as he rushed towards Zhao Weiyuan.

However, Wang Han's strength was far inferior to Zhao Weiyuan's. He was sent flying by the spiritual power that Zhao Weiyuan unleashed with a flick of his sleeve and crashed to the ground.

Just as Jiang Wei was about to offer his assistance, Pei Guoguo arrived with her spirit pet, Dahuang.

Pei Guoguo is a disciple of Zuowang Peak. She has a fiery temper and her cultivation level has reached the peak of the Human Venerable realm.

When she saw Jiang Chuan lying in the ruins, she was instantly enraged.

"Who dares to hurt anyone!" He roared and charged at Jiang Chuan, throwing a punch.

This punch was full of spiritual power, sending Zhao Weiyuan flying several feet. Zhao Weiyuan screamed in agony as his nose was broken and blood splattered everywhere.

"You... how dare you hurt me!" Zhao Weiyuan covered his nose, both shocked and furious.

Pei Guoguo snorted coldly, took the Chisong Sword from Dahuang's mouth, pointed the tip of the sword at Zhao Weiyuan, and exuded killing intent.

"Today I will seek justice for Jiangchuan and take your life!" The Chisong sword in his hand flashed with a cold light.

When Zhao Weiyuan saw that Pei Guo really wanted to kill him, he turned pale with fright: "You dare to kill me? I am a prince of Yan. If you kill me, Yan will not let you off!"

Pei Guoguo, however, was not afraid. She revealed her sword intent and raised her sword to deliver a fatal blow to Zhao Weiyuan.

At the critical moment, Lu Chen appeared and blocked Pei Guoguo's sword.

"Pei Guoguo, stop! If you kill him, even if you have high cultivation, you will have all your cultivation destroyed and be expelled from the immortal sect!"

Pei Guoguo's body trembled, and her sword stopped in mid-air.

She knew that what Lu Chen said was true, and after hesitating, she put down her sword, her eyes still burning with anger.

Seeing that he had escaped death, Zhao Weiyuan's resentment intensified. He glared at Jiang Chuan and said viciously:

"Jiang Chuan, do you dare step onto the stage for a life-or-death duel? Today you'll know the consequences of offending me!"

Jiang Chuan sneered in response: "Hmph, in a duel between people of the same cultivation level, I can easily win. You, you think you can fight me?"

Lu Chen decisively ordered, "Stop arguing! Take them back to the Enforcement Hall and await further instructions!"

They were quickly taken to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Inside the Hall of Enforcement, Lu Chen sat in the main seat, his expression solemn.

He first looked at Pei Guoguo: "Pei Guoguo, you intended to kill someone. Although there was a reason for it, it violated the rules of the immortal sect."

"Considering this is your first offense, I'm punishing you by making you face the wall at the Cliff of Repentance on Judgment Peak for three months to reflect on your actions!"

Pei Guoguo bowed and accepted the order.

Then he looked at Zhao Weiyuan: "Zhao Weiyuan, as a prince of Yan, you should abide by the rules of the immortal sect, but you wantonly provoked and injured people. You are also punished to face the wall at the Cliff of Repentance."

Zhao Weiyuan dared not disobey and bowed his head in acquiescence.

He then looked at Wang Han, Fang Sheng, Su Wen, and Jiang Wei: "Although you did not fight, you were involved."

Everyone should go back and write a self-criticism, reflecting on their mistakes.

The four nodded and accepted the punishment.

Finally, he looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "Jiang Chuan, you are the person involved. This incident started because of you."

You are hereby ordered to return to Zuowang Peak and be confined for one month to reflect on your mistakes.

Jiang Chuan knew he was the one who caused the trouble, so he cupped his hands and replied, "This disciple understands."

At this moment, Lin Xiao arrived at the Enforcement Hall.

After learning what had happened, he was dissatisfied with Zhao Weiyuan and angrily said, "Zhao Weiyuan, you are a disciple of the Immortal Sect..."

Arrogant and domineering, provoking trouble first, violating the rules of the immortal sect!

She then questioned Lu Chen: "Why didn't you stop your junior sister when she made her move? Or did you intentionally let her teach Zhao Weiyuan a lesson?"

Lu Chen hurriedly explained, "Lin Xiao, it happened so suddenly, I didn't have time. Pei Guoguo acted out of righteous indignation, so I punished her according to the rules."

Lin Xiao, however, did not believe it and sneered, "Hmph, I hope so. This matter must be explained."

Lin Xiao decided to take Pei Guoguo back to Zuowang Peak and punish her according to the rules of Zuowang Peak.

Upon arriving at Zuowang Peak, Lin Xiao quickly settled Jiang Chuan into a quiet room.

Jiang Chuan's condition is critical; his injuries will worsen if left untreated.

Lin Xiao circulated his true energy, placed his hands on Jiang Chuan's back, and channeled his true energy into him.

Jiang Chuan trembled with his eyes tightly closed, letting out a painful groan.

Sweat beaded on Lin Xiao's forehead as he focused on controlling his inner energy to circulate within Jiang Chuan's body, clearing damaged meridians and expelling stagnant blood.

A moment later, Jiang Chuan coughed and spat out a mouthful of dark, stagnant blood.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, stopped channeling his energy, looked at Jiang Chuan who had recovered, and said seriously:
"Junior brother, you are badly injured. Don't be impulsive in the future."

Zhao Weiyuan's actions are despicable, but his cultivation level far surpasses yours. A rash confrontation will only lead you into a desperate situation.

Jiang Chuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Second Senior Brother, I didn't do it on impulse."

Zhao Weiyuan went too far, daring to slander the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the Southern Region's demonic chaos!
You remember Mu Suifeng, Shen Mojun, and Lu Qian, right? They died protecting the immortal sect and the people, yet Zhao Weiyuan calls them traitors. I can't stand it!

Jiang Chuan's eyes reddened, and he became emotional.

Lin Xiao sighed, patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder, and said, "I understand your anger. We all know about the sacrifices of the heroes."

However, the power struggles within the court are complex, with intertwined interests; a slight misstep can lead to death, so caution is paramount.

Jiang Chuan's tone was resolute: "Senior brother, I understand what you mean. But justice resides in the hearts of the people, and I cannot stand by and watch heroes be slandered."

I must clear their names and shut Zhao Weiyuan up!

Lin Xiao didn't try to persuade him any further, but advised, "It's good that you have the intention, but don't be reckless. If you need anything in the future, come to me, and we'll figure something out together."

Jiang Chuan nodded, determined to bring the truth to light.

At this moment, Pei Guoguo returned to her residence with her spirit pet, Dahuang.

As soon as she entered, she saw Zhuang Yan sitting in the living room waiting for her.

Zhuang Yan quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Junior sister, you're finally back. I heard about what happened in the market and came to see you."

Pei Guoguo snorted coldly: "Why did you come to see me? I don't need your fake concern."

Zhuang Yan wasn't angry. She still smiled and said, "Junior sister, I know you're unhappy. I'm really worried about you."

People from Dream Butterfly Peak just came by, asking about you and Jiang Chuan.

Pei Guoguo frowned: "Why are they asking us? They definitely don't have good intentions."

"I just can't stand how the Enforcement Hall treats Jiang Chuan unfairly, and Zhao Weiyuan is so arrogant! If our senior brother were here, no one would dare to bully the people of Zuowang Peak!"

Pei Guoguo became more and more emotional as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes. Zhuang Yan sat down next to Pei Guoguo and said gently, "Guoguo, I understand how you feel."

Don't worry, I will protect you and Jiang Chuan. No one can bully you on Zuowang Peak.

Pei Guoguo was somewhat skeptical: "You really will protect us? What makes you think you can?"

Zhuang Yan held Pei Guoguo's hand and said, "Just because we are disciples of Zuowang Peak, we are family. I don't want to see you and Jiang Chuan get hurt."

Tears welled up in Pei Guoguo's eyes, and she threw herself into Zhuang Yan's arms, sobbing, "I did nothing wrong."

Those who bullied us should pay the price! I won't swallow this!

Zhuang Yan gently patted Pei Guoguo's back and comforted her, "I know. With Senior Brother not here, we must protect each other and Jiang Chuan even more."

With Zhuang Yan's comforting words, Pei Guoguo calmed down and unknowingly fell asleep in her arms.

Zhuang Yan looked at the sleeping Pei Guoguo with tenderness in her eyes, picked her up and carried her into the room, put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

As Zhuang Yan was about to leave, a figure emerged from a dark corner of the living room.

The man was elegant and graceful. He looked at Zhuang Yan and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so gentle and take such good care of her."

Zhuang Yan was startled by the voice, turned around to look at the person, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Dong Xiaowan chuckled: "I can't rest easy. Why don't you tell her the truth? She has the right to know everything."

Zhuang Yan said, "Now is not the time. She is impulsive and knowing the truth will put her in even greater danger. Lin Xiao and I will protect her and keep her from getting hurt."

Dong Xiaowan nodded: "I hope you will keep your word. Pei Guoguo is simple-minded, and I can't bear to see her get hurt."

Zhuang Yan said, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect her."

Dong Xiaowan lowered her voice and said, "Zhuang Yan, Zhao Weiyuan's matter is not simple; there must be a conspiracy behind it."

Zhuang Yan pressed, "What do you mean? Tell me quickly."

Dong Xiaowan said, "Look at the Yan Kingdom now, it's in great chaos. The southern region has just been ravaged by demons, and then a plague broke out, causing great suffering to the people."

The situation in the northern regions is unclear, the fate of the Prince of Yan is unknown, and Handan is controlled by foreign tribes.

Amidst this chaos, someone has pushed Zhao Weiyuan into a trap, and Jiang Chuan is the key pawn.

Zhuang Yan hurriedly asked, "Jiang Chuan? He just entered the immortal sect, how did he become a key figure?"

Dong Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Jiang Chuan is weak now and can't hurt Zhao Weiyuan. But his opponent seems to want to use him to achieve some ulterior motive."

Think about it, why is Zhao Weiyuan so fixated on Jiang Chuan, even openly attacking him in the market? There must be something going on behind this.”

Zhuang Yan said, "Judging from this, there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this killing scheme. Could it be related to the Seven Kingdoms War?"

Dong Xiaowan seemed thoughtful: "Very likely. Do you know, Jiang Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also involved."

Jiang Wei is a shrewd and calculating man; he won't easily take action against Zhao Weiyuan. If he does, the Yan and Zhou kingdoms will go to war, which is likely part of the scheme orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

Zhuang Yan knew that what Dong Xiaowan said was true. If it really triggered a national war, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"In your opinion, how important is Zhao Weiyuan's life or death to the situation?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Dong Xiaowan emphasized, "Zhao Weiyuan is a prince of Yan. If he is killed at Yunhai Immortal Sect, Yan will not let it go."

This could very well trigger a national war. In that case, the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect will bear eternal infamy.

Dong Xiaowan continued, "Furthermore, Jiang Chuan has a special identity. He is the legitimate successor of the Zhongzhou Sword Emperor lineage, and Xie Xuan is backing him up."

If Jiang Chuan really attacks Zhao Weiyuan, even Chunyangzi, the head of the Yunhai Immortal Sect, won't be able to deal with him easily.

Zhuang Yan nodded: "Lin Xiao and I know the power behind Jiang Chuan, so we won't interfere easily."

However, it seems that Jiangchuan's fate is beyond our control.

Dong Xiaowan patted Zhuang Yan's hand: "Zhuang Yan, you have to keep a close eye on Jiang Chuan and don't let him get into any more danger."

This child might have a bright future, so we need to be careful for now.

Zhuang Yan said resolutely, "Don't worry, I have a plan. I want Jiang Chuan to become the 'sword' of Zuowang Peak, a sharp sword that can intimidate the six peaks."

What Zuowang Peak needs now is not a frightening divine beast, but a sword that can be drawn and used to kill enemies.

Dong Xiaowan was somewhat surprised: "In that case, you'll have to be more actively involved in the power struggles within the immortal sects. This might be a good way to protect the interests of Zuowang Peak."

In the courtyard of Zuowang Peak.

Lin Xiao stood alone, his shadow stretching long in the moonlight.

All around was quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind gently brushing against one's clothes.

And so, Lin Xiao stood there until the sky began to lighten.

At the same time, Zhuang Yan quickly left Zuowang Peak and headed to the Judgment Peak's Law Enforcement Hall.

As dawn broke in the east, the morning light shone on Zuowang Peak, and Tao Hongjing quietly approached Lin Xiao from behind.

"Lin Xiao, you haven't slept all night, are you worried?" Tao Hongjing asked softly.

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "Master, with just one sword, it's difficult to protect the sect."

Tao Hongjing comforted him, saying, "The great way is for everyone to take what they need. Some things are beyond human control, so there's no need to blame yourself."

At this moment, Lin Xiao's internal energy surged, and a powerful force surged within him.

The shackles that bound him were broken.

He was about to undergo a tribulation, and it was the Supreme Yang Thunder Tribulation of the Upper Four Realms.

In an instant, the Yin Lightning Tribulation rolled in, its momentum so fierce that it almost submerged Zuowang Peak.

Thunder roared, and lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the celestial gate.

The powerful figures of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect sensed the strong fluctuations, flew into the sky, and watched this rare tribulation.

The sect leader Chunyangzi and the other peak masters quickly arrived at Tianzhu Peak. Looking at Zuowang Peak, which was shrouded in lightning tribulation, they guessed who was undergoing the tribulation.

Mingyangzi calculated with his fingers and his expression changed slightly: "I think the one undergoing tribulation is Lin Xiao from Zuowang Peak."

On Zuowang Peak, the protective formation was activated, with Tao Hongjing personally overseeing it.

Inside the magic array, Jiang Chuan, Pei Guoguo, Chen Ping, Da Huang, and Qing Lin were overwhelmed by the oppressive power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation.

Jiang Chuan looked worriedly at the figure surrounded by lightning in the sky.

“This tribulation lightning is too terrifying, Second Senior Brother…” Pei Guoguo’s voice trembled.

Chen Ping looked nervous: "Second Senior Brother is blessed with good fortune and will surely overcome this tribulation."

Lin Xiao faced the Heavenly Tribulation alone, his eyes fearless.

He stepped into the void, ascending step by step towards the heavens.

The disciples of the immortal sect rushed out of the mountain gate, looking up at Lin Xiao with shock and admiration.

Lu Chen of Judgment Peak and Yun Wanggui of Heavenly Pillar Peak were also watching the tribulation closely, their faces filled with surprise.

In the Judgment Peak's Enforcement Hall, Dong Xiaowan looked at Zhuang Yan and asked softly, "Do you regret it?"

Zhuang Yan shook her head: "No regrets. Lin Xiao has broken free of his shackles; it's a new beginning for him."

The disciples of the immortal sect were amazed by Lin Xiao's performance, as he ascended to the sky with his sword and clashed with the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder.

Each time the sword clashed with the lightning, it burst forth with light, causing the air to tremble.

Jiang Chuan and Chen Ping were shocked by the pressure of the lightning tribulation. Seeing that Jiang Chuan could not withstand it, Chen Ping hurriedly said:
"Jiang Chuan, go to the main hall to avoid the lightning tribulation."

With that, he led Jiang Chuan and Da Huang towards the main hall.

Lin Xiao faced off against the raging dragon formed by the lightning tribulation in the middle of the sky, his movements agile and his sword moves fierce.

The members of the immortal sect looked at him and began to discuss among themselves.

"Second Senior Brother's talent is astonishing!" exclaimed a second-generation disciple. (End of Chapter)
