Chapter 247 Unknown
Faced with his master's dissuasion, the middle-aged man in the late foundation-building stage simply felt that his master was old and only had the Jindan cultivation base, and was unwilling to fight for that chance of promotion.
His life span was already short, but he was always hesitant. Eventually, his master stopped caring about him, and after arranging arrangements for him to go to the branch sect, he went into seclusion and refused to come out.
When he was leaving, his master did not see him off, but the middle-aged man in the late foundation building stage just smiled and passed by. He thought that he would have a bright future here and maybe he could even break through to the Jindan realm. He did not expect that his master's words would be so true.
The middle-aged man sneered twice and laughed.
"Haha! Master, you're right. Branching out isn't suitable for me..."
……
Ji Zi was running around in the secret passage in a panic, with an angry look on her face and cursing.
"Hmph! Two useless guys. After years of training, they can't even make a furnace. Do you still think they're important to me? You really don't understand your own status."
At this point, her expression darkened again, and she cursed through gritted teeth, "Yuchen, I thought you were handing over the branch sect to me as a reward for serving you for many years, but I didn't expect you to actually think this way. Didn't you let Ling Huan and Fen Yu stay here? I'm afraid you're worried that the Hehuan Sect will lose another Nascent Soul expert!"
Ji Zi was originally the cauldron of Yu Chen, the ancestor of the Hehuan Sect. Because of her many years of service and the fact that she had conquered the Five Elements Sect and left it unattended, she was asked to come here to guard the mountain gate when she was at the peak of the late Jindan stage. Ji Zi thought that this was Yu Chen's trust in her, and that sending her, his bedmate for many years, here was a good job, so she gladly accepted it.
At that time, she was still very happy. After all, the Hehuan Sect had four Nascent Soul cultivators, and the other three were led by Yuchen, who was in the middle Nascent Soul stage and was also the leader of the Hehuan Sect. After the thirty-second year war, one of the early Nascent Soul elders of the Hehuan Sect died in the battle, but there were still two. Yuchen did not let the two come. Ji Zi was still very confused, but she attributed it to trust and ignored it.
Just now, she figured out the problem. The reason why she came here was not because Yu Chen trusted her, but because she was not a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, but a peak Jindan cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, and also a person with a short lifespan. If these conditions were met, Ji Zi would be the most suitable candidate.
Ji Zi couldn't help but laugh in anger, "Haha, I'm so suitable! I'm someone you trust, you can rest assured in me."
"I'm not a Yuanying cultivator from the Hehuan Sect. Even if I die unexpectedly, the Hehuan Sect will only lose a Jindan cultivator."
"I am at the peak of the late Jindan stage. I can definitely take care of a branch sect. No one dares to visit me while I am in charge of the Tianhuai Kingdom."
"I have a short lifespan and am someone that the He Huan Sect can abandon at any time. If I fail in my Nascent Soul attack, I'll be gone. If I succeed, then giving me the seat at the branch sect will be a great benefit and a way to win me over."
"What a good plan! Yuchen!"
On the surface, this punishment has all the benefits. In the north and the west, there is the alliance between Xuantian Kingdom and Jiandao Sect. After the war, the three families of Huashen Tianjia of Xuantian Kingdom, Wanjian Shenzong of Jiandao Sect, and Yinyang Shenzong of Hehuan Sect have reached an agreement among themselves that no more war will break out.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the former site of the Five Elements Sect. After all, the Five Elements Sect has been wiped out, and the Hehuan Sect can plunder all of this area. No one dares to imagine how great the benefits will be.
But secretly, the two major forces of the North and the West are fighting against her Yin-Yang Divine Sect. Although a major war will not break out, small wars may break out at any time. Now destroying her Hehuan branch is just killing a group of her Jindan cultivators. The three major forces above will definitely not start a war because of this. Even if a Yuanying cultivator died, the Yin-Yang Divine Sect would probably not start a war again.
This is why Yu Chen did not send the other two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hehuan Sect to take charge here. Even if he did, those two Nascent Soul cultivators would probably not come here to take charge. After all, this place is so close to the Xuantian Kingdom, and Ling Huan and Fen Yu are not stupid.
Just as Ji Zi was thinking about this and fleeing.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, passing through the stone wall and reaching Ji Zi's ears in the secret passage.
"Hmph! The formation has been broken, and you're thinking of escaping? You won't be able to escape today!"
When this cold voice came, Ji Zi's flying body couldn't help but pause. In just a moment, she flew away again, and her speed was even faster than before.
At this moment, with a "bang", a black and white flying sword surrounded by five colors came out from the secret passage and blocked Ji Zi's body. Immediately, stone chips flew everywhere, and stone chip dust covered the secret passage where the flying sword entered.
A voice as cold as death pierced through the stone chips and dust.
"Escape? Can you escape?"
Ji Zi's body stopped, and when she heard the voice that sounded like a ghost demanding her life, her expression was distorted, her eyes widened, she threw out a handful of talismans, turned around without even looking, and fled towards the secret passage she came from without stopping.
A stream of three-colored spiritual power rushed out from the stone chips and dust, directly wrapping up the talisman and locking it inside. When the talisman came into contact with the three-colored spiritual power, it exploded directly.
"Bang~Boom~Boom~" sounds kept coming from the three-colored spiritual power ball, but it could not break through the spiritual power shield and could only keep exploding inside it.
Amidst the stone chips and dust, a black and white flying sword surrounded by five colors flew out and shot directly towards Ji Zi who was fleeing. It was so fast that only a sound of the sword could be heard.
"Om~"
Ji Zi had already escaped for a distance. Hearing this voice, she turned her head and saw a light spot that she could not see clearly, which had come not far from her.
She suddenly screamed, "No~ I don't want to die~ ah~"
With a "puff" sound, she screamed and was pierced by a sword. Then, her dead body fell to the ground due to the inertia of flying. After sliding for a short distance, it no longer moved.
In the three-color spiritual power ball, with the explosion of the last talisman, the spiritual power ball slowly annihilated and dissipated, and the three-color spiritual power also disappeared.
The dust and debris slowly dissipated, revealing a young man in black clothes, black hair and an ordinary face. It was Xuan Kun who was disguising his appearance.
A "buzzing" sound was heard, and the Five Elements Flying Sword had already flown back, surrounding Xuan Kun like his most loyal guard.
Xuan Kun flashed and instantly came to Ji Zi's side. Looking at the woman whose face was completely disfigured on the ground in the secret passage, Xuan Kun had no expression on his face, as if the person on the ground was not killed by him.
Xuan Kun hooked his hand, and a storage bag flew out from the dead man and fell into Xuan Kun's hand. He just took a casual look at it and put it into his own storage bag.
He turned and walked towards the depths of the secret passage without even glancing at the dead man on the ground. As Xuan Kun slowly left, an emotionless voice was heard.
"The ninth person, unknown."
