Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 58 Going into battle
Chen Xuan's expression did not change at all, and he ignored the murderous intent emanating from the two men.

Li Kuangyi took a step forward, half of his body blocking Chen Xuan, looking directly at the two of them, one hand already on the hilt of the sword behind him.

Although he didn't know Chen Xuan's identity and why he had caused several ancestors to come out of seclusion, he failed to take good care of Chen Xuan when his master asked him to escort him out of Yuntian Sect last time, which led to Chen Xuan being captured by Zhou Zilan.

He still hasn't forgotten that day when Bai Jinyan went berserk upon hearing the news, and attacked Yuntian Peak, the main peak of Yuntian Sect where Zhou Zilan was, alone with a long sword in hand.

The first time he saw Zhou Zilan, Bai Jinyan took action without saying a word.

On that day, all the disciples of Yuntian Peak witnessed the two founders of Yuntian Sect, Bai Jinyan and Zhou Zilan, engaging in a life-and-death battle in the sky above Yuntian Sect that shocked the world and made ghosts weep.

As the two fought, all kinds of magical powers and treasures appeared one after another, the sky roared incessantly, and the clouds within a radius of ten thousand miles in the sky all dissipated under the power of the fight between the two.

Several mountaintops around the main peak of Yuntian Peak were reduced to dust in an instant and disappeared without a trace. All kinds of spiritual medicine veins on the mountains were destroyed.

This fight directly destroyed the foundation accumulated by the Yuntian Sect over hundreds of years.

That was the first and only time Li Kuangyi saw Bai Jinyan so angry.

The fight lasted for a full half a decade and ended with Zhou Zilan and Wang Yi, the current Saint of Yuntian Sect, jointly admitting that Chen Xuan had teleported away.

Zhou Zilan was also seriously injured in that battle and returned to her cave to meditate and has not come out since.

According to the speculation of everyone in the Yuntian Sect, Zhou Zilan would not be able to recover from her injury without decades of seclusion and rest.

After the fight, Bai Jinyan immediately dispatched all the disciples of the Zhanglu lineage who had no official duties to search for Chen Xuan's whereabouts.

The two lineages headed by Wang Tusi, the ancestor of the Holy Son Wang Yi, and Fu Fuzong, the ancestor, also sent disciples to search for Chen Xuan's whereabouts. However, they were ostensibly searching for Chen Xuan, but in fact they were secretly ordering their disciples to wipe out Chen Xuan as soon as they found him.

Bai Jinyan did not take any action against their little tricks because there was no conclusive evidence to prove that they were targeting Chen Xuan.

The reason why Bai Jinyan attacked Zhou Zilan before was, firstly, that he was angry, and secondly, Zhou Zilan's position as ancestor was not obtained in a legitimate way. Bai Jinyan had been looking for clues over the years and already had some clues in his hands.

But if he were to take action against Wang Tusi and Fu Fuzong, Bai Jinyan would have no reason at all.

Although he is very good at killing and is the strongest fighting force in the Yuntian Sect, he is also the founder of the Yuntian Sect who is in charge of law. If he attacks others at will, the reputation and power he has accumulated over the years will be destroyed.

Of course, the main reason is that there is no news of Chen Xuan’s death yet.

The previous attack on Zhou Zilan also gave enough deterrence to other people with ulterior motives. At least the combat power at the ancestor level would not be dispatched to deal with Chen Xuan.

Bai Jinyan even emphasized to Li Kuangyi that if they met Chen Xuan, they must keep him safe no matter what.

That's why Li Kuangyi is defending Chen Xuan so much now.

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Chen Xuan patted Li Kuangyi on the shoulder, signaling Li Kuangyi not to be nervous.

Then Chen Xuan took a step forward and stood at the same level as Li Kuangyi. He looked directly at Zi Chen.

"Senior Zichen, let me ask you, if you advance to the Nascent Soul stage in an instant after leaving the inheritance site, how long exactly is that instant?"

Although there was murderous intent in Zi Chen's eyes, he could see that Chen Xuan was a smart man and would not come to them to die for no reason.

So in response to Chen Xuan's question, he spoke truthfully:
"A quarter of an hour! I was already at the peak of the Golden Core stage. A quarter of an hour is enough for me to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with solemnity:

"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid this quarter of an hour has been a bit difficult! There must be more than one Nascent Soul in the outside world. We don't have the advantage in numbers to begin with, and in this quarter of an hour, we've lost a top-tier combat force at the peak of the Golden Core stage. What should we do?"

At this time, Li Kuangyi said: "As long as this friend Chen Xuan is here, I can guarantee that all the disciples of the Yuntian Sect's Zhanglu lineage in the outside world can temporarily cooperate with you.

However, the one with the highest cultivation level among the Palm Law lineage who came here this time is my senior brother, and he has only reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage. While holding back one Nascent Soul for a quarter of an hour is no problem, holding back multiple Nascent Souls is absolutely impossible!"

Hearing this, Zi Chen looked at Chen Xuan deeply, then looked at Li Kuangyi with a puzzled look and said:

"I don't understand why you, the disciples of Yuntian Sect, would be so protective of Chen Xuan, an outsider?"

"This matter is a secret of our Yuntian Sect, and I'm afraid I can't disclose it. But fellow Daoist, I've made it very clear before that the only ones cooperating with you are the disciples of the Yuntian Sect's Law-Holding Lineage.

As for the disciples from other sects, if Chen Xuan's identity is exposed, I'm afraid they will become our enemies in an instant..."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Zi Chen's face, but he did not ask any more questions. He just nodded and then looked at Chen Xuan, the murderous intent in his eyes faded:
"My friend, if your presence can really lead the Yuntian Sect to hold back a Nascent Soul, we can reluctantly agree to protect you."

His words were very straightforward. After all, in his opinion, Chen Xuan was only at the Qi training stage, and after he went out, he would be of no use other than being an extra burden.

Beside him, Yang Xiao also nodded, indicating that he agreed with his point of view.

At this time, Chen Xuan said calmly:

"I think Senior has misunderstood something. The fact that Yuntian Sect would help me is a pleasant surprise. I was not aware of this before I came here."

A trace of anger flashed across Yang Xiao's face, and he shouted:

"My dear friend, it's a blessing for you that Daoist Li from the Yuntian Sect is willing to protect you. Don't be ungrateful!"

In his opinion, what Chen Xuan said was extremely rude. Li Kuangyi had just agreed to cooperate with them. If Li Kuangyi gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with them because of Chen Xuan's rude behavior, wouldn't it be a disaster!
At this moment, the place of inheritance suddenly became completely transparent, and everything in front of them disappeared in front of everyone. What appeared before their eyes was a vortex that was slowly rotating in the positive direction.

A rich spatial force emanated from the vortex, and this vortex had begun to slowly fade since it appeared.

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak again, Zi Chen called out and summoned three nearby disciples of the Demon Sect to his side.

"The teleportation array is only open for half a quarter of an hour. If you don't get out in time, you will be lost in the alien space. Except for those with Nascent Soul cultivation or above, it is absolutely impossible for others to escape!"

Then, he took a deep breath and said to the few people:
"Everyone, the outside world is a dangerous place. A war is inevitable. Let's go!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and led the way towards the teleportation array, with the three Demon Sect disciples following closely behind.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Yang Xiao. He looked at Chen Xuan deeply and snorted coldly:
"Boy, don't rush to the front, or you will die early!"

After saying this, he first clasped his fists towards Li Kuangyi and said:
"I'll rely on you, fellow Daoist, after I get out!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the teleportation array, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Kuangyi turned around, patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone:

"Don't take what they say to heart. Just follow me closely after you get out. My senior brother will stop Wang Yi. If you're below the Nascent Soul stage, I'll keep you safe!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the teleportation array. Seeing that Chen Xuan had not yet made a move, he turned around and urged:
"Little friend, hurry up and catch up."

Chen Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and he responded and followed.

There is no one left in the land of inheritance.
