Chapter 256: Too "Old" Chu Xingchen
As Chu Xingchen punched a hole through the Wuxuan View's Sect-Protecting Great Formation with a single strike, people rushed in from all directions through the breach.
For a moment, the entire Wuxuan View became extraordinarily lively.
However, they all tacitly avoided the line of sight of Chu Xingchen and Yu Yang Daozi.
Regardless of the situation, the attitude of the people from the Eighteen Immortal Gates was to not drop the ball at critical moments. Their attitude in daring to come to the rescue was already very reliable.
Chu Xingchen locked his gaze onto Yu Yang Daozi.
Yu Yang Daozi's light purple Daoist robe fluttered slightly in the wind. The Yin-Yang Diagram rapidly spread out towards the surroundings, as if covering the entire Wuxuan View in an instant.
"It has been a long time since I've seen a figure like you."
With just a simple perception, Yu Yang Daozi understood that the person wearing the monkey mask in front of him was his own kind—a genius.
It was a keen perception towards one's own kind.
It could also be called danger perception, because only a genius of the same level... could pose a threat to him.
Yu Yang Daozi never arrogantly underestimated others. He always gave opponents of the same level enough respect. He raised his hand slightly, and a purple wooden sword appeared in his hand:
"With this kind of talent... you still need to borrow external objects?"
"Or did you come specifically to disgust my Grand Dao Sect?!"
Lightning flashed on the purple wooden sword. Immediately after, lightning flashed throughout the entire Wuxuan View Sect-Protecting Great Formation.
His spiritual consciousness spread rapidly. He had grasped the situation in Wuxuan View at this moment. Currently, only this person wearing the monkey mask could be considered a threat.
Zhang Daotan watched as Yu Yang Daozi turned sideways to him directly. To Yu Yang Daozi, he, a Soul Formation cultivator of the same rank, seemed to be just a Qi Refining cultivator.
Yu Yang Daozi didn't even seem to bother sweeping his spiritual consciousness over him.
But for some reason, Zhang Daotan breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally understood that these were not his reinforcements, and he didn't know who this group attacking Wuxuan View was.
If what Yu Yang Daozi said was true, and they were here to disgust the Grand Dao Sect, he might not be unable to seize this opportunity to escape. As long as he was given a little more chance and time...
Chu Xingchen swept his gaze over Yu Yang Daozi and Zhang Daotan to the side.
Before making a move, Chu Xingchen naturally memorized the appearance of the key figures.
Chu Xingchen didn't make a move. After looking twice, he heard Yu Yang Daozi's words. Seeing the tense stance between the two, he naturally understood the situation.
This was Yu Yang Daozi... hammering the Sect Master of Wuxuan View?
Internal infighting?
But regardless of that, pick the soft persimmon first.
Chu Xingchen said in a surprised tone, "Yu Yang Daozi, why do you say this? I came specifically to help. This Wuxuan View Sect Master deceives his superiors and hides the truth from his subordinates. His crimes are heinous and cannot be tolerated. Now he is even attacking you, Yu Yang Daozi."
"As a member of the righteous path, how could I stand by and do nothing? Yu Yang Daozi, do not worry about Wuxuan View bullying the few with many. I am here to help you!"
Chen Muguang was currently on the side, standing on the sidelines, when he heard Chu Xingchen's words. He looked up and saw Chu Xingchen's posture full of righteousness...
If it weren't for the fact that fifteen minutes ago, this big shot said he guaranteed he would smash Yu Yang Daozi's dog head in, Chen Muguang might have actually believed him.
This big shot's ability to see which way the wind blows is also a bit too strong. It doesn't seem like White Elder's style...
Yu Yang Daozi chuckled lightly. He pointed his wooden sword at the other cultivators who had already started looting in the distance and said:
"Is this you coming to help me? Or is this you coming to loot a burning house?"
Chu Xingchen's expression was calm. He raised his hand and condensed a flowing water long sword using spiritual power:
"Yu Yang Daozi, stand here and watch me behead this Wuxuan View Sect Master to prove my sincerity."
Zhang Daotan, who originally had a trace of secret joy in his heart, had his expression instantly stiffen.
Damn it!
What virtue or ability did he have to be targeted by two top cultivators to take his dog's life.
Forget about two people; he didn't even know if he could survive under Yu Yang Daozi's hands.
Yu Yang Daozi didn't answer. His expression remained serious, and he clearly didn't care about what Chu Xingchen said.
He also didn't believe that this group of people, who arrived so coincidentally, were truly here to help out of kindness.
Chu Xingchen didn't bother with him either, staring tightly at Zhang Daotan.
[Target: Zhang Daotan]
[Cultivation: Mid-stage Soul Formation]
[Orange Tag: Holding Slight Authority]
[Purple Tag: Wish Power Boost]
[Purple Tag: Decent Aptitude]
[White Tag: Suspicion]
[Black Tag: Authority Misfortune]
[Black Tag: Authority Erosion]
[Black Tag: Authority Disaster]
[Black Tag: Greed from the Heart]
[Special Tag: Mission Target]
[Does not meet disciple acceptance conditions]
Not to mention anything else, this was the most tags Chu Xingchen had ever seen...
This Authority was also a bit hard to handle.
If you say it's strong, it really is strong. Just holding a trace of it gives the boost of a system Orange Tag. If he went a step further, it might not be impossible to evolve into a Golden Tag.
What level his own disciple's Golden Tag was, that was unquestionable.
But these negative tags... were also a bit too many.
It seems that everything has a price.
It looks like the Authority is currently held by Zhang Daotan. Regardless of anything else, disposing of him first is the optimal choice.
Chu Xingchen's figure flickered slightly. The flowing water spiritual energy long sword in his hand instantly dissipated, but his hand movement seemed to still be holding a sword, and he chopped down towards Zhang Daotan's head with one sword strike.
Zhang Daotan's hair stood on end, and the jade long sword in his hand went forward to meet it.
It was clearly empty, but the jade long sword met with an extremely terrifying force.
Zhang Daotan widened his eyes. This is... a Divine Ability?
He could almost perceive no long sword in Chu Xingchen's hand, and he couldn't detect much spiritual power fluctuation either, but a terrifying force was attacking Zhang Daotan.
Boom!
Chu Xingchen slashed down with his sword.
The earth trembled instantly, and the massive shockwave spread towards the surroundings.
The spiritual light of the entire Sect-Protecting Great Formation seemed to bloom to the extreme, constantly absorbing this terrifying shockwave.
Zhang Daotan's face was extremely unwilling. A purple wooden sword floated quietly in front of him.
Just a moment after that strike, Yu Yang Daozi's Spirit Treasure flew over to block this strike for Zhang Daotan.
He, Zhang Daotan, could naturally block Chu Xingchen's strike just now, but Yu Yang Daozi felt that he might not be able to block it.
This was an extreme contempt for himself.
Chu Xingchen looked calmly at Yu Yang Daozi standing to the side.
Yu Yang Daozi said calmly:
"Now this is the Grand Dao Sect's own affair, and this is also the Grand Dao Sect's territory. I will assume you came to help, but I don't need your help now. Take your people and leave. I will pretend this never happened."
"If you don't leave, I will consider you an accomplice of the thieves. If I kill you, the other Immortal Gates won't be able to find trouble with me."
If you want to talk, then let's talk. Anyway, putting on the cloak of righteousness first never results in a loss.
Chu Xingchen's light laughter came from behind the mask:
"Someone like you who actively comes to your door looking for a beating is rare. Since you want to shield Wuxuan View, then I have to speak up for justice!"
Yu Yang Daozi chuckled lightly upon hearing this and raised his hand slightly.
The purple wooden sword standing horizontally in front of Zhang Daotan instantly turned into spiritual light and dissipated.
At this moment, Chen Muguang outside the great hall looked up at the sky.
He saw a purple thunder giant sword tear through the sky, flashing towards Wuxuan View.
Ye Antao and Wang Ling were at different positions at this moment, but they both stopped their movements at the same time and looked at the thunder giant sword in the sky.
Only now did they somewhat realize it.
Even though they had given Yu Yang Daozi enough respect and crazily raised his estimation of his strength by another level in their imaginations.
But at this moment, facing that purple thunder giant sword, and feeling the terrifying fear and coercion that penetrated the Sect-Protecting Great Formation.
They finally understood that Yu Yang Daozi was even stronger than they had imagined.
Only now did they clearly see what kind of elegance Yu Yang Daozi possessed in the past.
Everyone's first instinct was to flash outward. Facing this kind of means far beyond their understanding, no one dared to continue being arrogant.
Dozens of rays of light hurriedly flew out of Wuxuan View, running even further away.
That thunder giant sword seemed to intentionally let people escape, as the speed of the sword falling was not very fast, giving enough time for people to flee.
In the distance from Wuxuan View.
The people from the last council gathered in one place tacitly.
Chen Muguang pursed his lips as he watched that thunder giant sword tear through Wuxuan View's Sect-Protecting Great Formation like tearing tofu, rushing straight towards the great hall.
Immediately after, only a dazzling purple light flashed past.
The entire Wuxuan View turned into a stage for thunder.
Massive spiritual power shot into the sky, and the aftershocks bombarded towards the surroundings.
Ye Antao scanned her gaze around but didn't discover Chu Xingchen's figure. She hurriedly asked Chen Muguang:
"Where did that person of yours who can drag it out go?!"
Chen Muguang laughed bitterly and pointed at Wuxuan View in front, which had turned into a place of thunder:
"I estimate he's still inside dragging it out now..."
Ye Antao widened her eyes... In this situation, you don't really have to go and drag it out for real!
This person is actually more honest than me?!
