Chapter 770: The Core

“I owe that person. Let him leave.”

A statement from afar drifted over like a gush of spring wind. It dissolved the tension that was between the long-browed elder, and eased the inhibition spell on Ling Xian.

Following that, the silhouette of a person appeared in midair and was circled by murky air. His eyes were profound and mysterious like a galaxy. He stood there like a tall mountain, undying and unbending.

It was the Array of the Astonished Gods! Another fifth level powerhouse!

“Finally, someone who knows gratitude.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. He had sensed the Array of the Astonished Gods, and now that he was finally making a move, Ling Xian was no longer worried.

“Array of the Astonished Gods, I know the reason why you had a successful metamorphosis was because of this person.” The long-browed elder spoke softly, “But, the Shang Qing Sect must detain this person.”

“Then there’s no need to speak more.”

The Array of the Astonished Gods shook his head and said straight up, “Let us fight. I will not just sit and stare.”

“You!”

The long-browed elder was furious. He didn’t think the Array would protect Ling Xian like this and even declare to battle.

The other fifth leveled powerhouse also didn’t expect this. He stared at the Array of the Astonished Gods and said, “Logically, you are higher up than us since you are the array that protects us all. We shouldn’t fight against you. However, this matter is far too important. We cannot let him leave.”

“Like I said, there’s no need to speak more.”

The spiritual energy from the Array of the Astonished Gods were extremely dominating. He straight up uttered out two words that turned the entire atmosphere intense.

“Come battle.”

At those words, the two fifth leveled cultivators’ face darkened and they exuded cold killer’s intent.

For Ling Xian however, his lips curled up and he laughed, “Haha, Array of the Astonished Gods. In the entire Shang Qing Sect, you are the only real man. Everyone else are scums!”

“Leave me to deal with this, you should go quickly.”

The Array said expressionlessly, “Remember, I will only help you this once. After you leave the Shang Qing Sect, your life or death means nothing to me.”

“Helping me once is enough.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. He had once helped the array successfully transform, which was the same as saving its life. For the Array to block the two powerhouses for him was enough to repay the favor.

Naturally, he wouldn’t ask for more.

“You are speaking as if you will be able to escape. Though the Array is powerful, it is alone.” The long browed elder mocked.

“Haha, who told you the Array is alone? You really think that other than the Array, I don’t have another fifth leveled cultivator?”

Ling Xian had a mocking expression on his face. When he was inside the ruins, he had already sent a signal to Hong Chen Jun Zhu. By now, he was starting to sense his Qi.

“You think fifth leveled cultivators are like cabbages in the ground?” The long-browed elder snickered.

“No, but coincidentally, I have one on my side.” Ling Xian smiled flavorfully and laughed, “Hong Chen Jun Zhu, show yourself.”

At those words, a bright laugh responded to him.

“Haha, with me here, nobody can touch him!”

A sturdy and tall silhouette approached from afar. Within steps, he arrived right beside Ling Xian. His black hair was in disarray, and similar to a God who had control over everyone’s fate, he appeared above everyone else!

Instantly, the two elders frowned and their mocking smiles froze on their faces.

They didn’t expect Ling Xian to actually have a fifth leveled cultivator by his side!

Even the Array of the Astonished Gods was a little startled. However, to him, this was a good thing. To have a fifth leveled cultivator fight alongside him would lessen his stress greatly.

“I love the expressions on your faces.”

Looking at the stunned faces of the two fifth leveled cultivators, Ling Xian was very satisfied that he had finally gotten his revenge.

This angered his opponents. In an instant, they all unleashed their Qi and the entire place trembled!

What a pity though, Ling Xian was no longer alone. He had two fifth leveled cultivators by his side!

Therefore, as the two streams of killer’s intent edged closer, Hong Chen Jun Zhu stepped out and stopped the two elders’ attack.

Once again, this stunned them. They didn’t think Hong Chen Yan Zhu was this dominating.

One of them frowned and stared deadly at the handsome man before them. He croaked, “You… you are the person who was sealed inside the volcano!”

“So you finally recognize me?” Hong Chen Jun Zhu softly chuckled, “That’s right. I am the one who was sealed by Tian Luo Zi.”

“Dammit, you escaped!”

The elders’ expressions changed again. As monsters who have been existing inside the Shang Qing Sect for so long, of course they’ve heard of Hong Chen Jun Zhu.

“What a pity though. Time has passed and things have changed. Tian Luo Zi is no longer with us.” Hong Chen Jun Zhu softly sighed, his tone carried deep condolences.

This made the two elders fearful. Because they knew that Hong Chen Jun Zhu wasn’t sad that he had lost a friend – he was sad that he cannot battle him again.

Therefore, why wouldn’t they feel a chill down their spin? However, remembering that he merely has fifth leveled cultivation, they stopped worrying.

“Hey!”

The long-browed elder coldly smiled. “It’s true that Tian Luo Zi is no longer around. But I am still here. I can defeat you!”

“Your joke is pretty funny!”

Hong Chen Jun Zhu shook his head and laughed. “Though my cultivation has fallen to the fifth level, I am still not someone you can just repress.”

“Hong Chen Jun Zhu, do you really still think it’s your era? Stop dreaming. Our ancestor has suppressed you for 3,000 years. Today, we will destroy your soul!”

The long-browed elder was not welcoming. Thin layers of Qi rolled out and darkened the sky. The entire place trembled again.

“Why don’t you come and try.”

Hong Chen Jun Zhu’s expression dropped and he said coldly, “This is perfect. I wanted to collect some interest anyway.”

Then, he flapped his sleeve and a gentle force carried Ling Xian away to a place hundreds of yards away.

“You go first. I will stop these two for you.”

Hong Chen Jun Zhu softly smiled. He quickly made his move then and dashed towards the two elders.

At the same time, the Array of Astonished Gods attacked as well to help Hong Chen Jun Zhu.

HOMMM!

A loud rumble indicated the beginning of a great war!

“Take care.”

Looking at Hong Chen Jun Zhu and the Array of Astonished Gods, Ling Xian softly sighed. He then quickly turned around and his expression turned serious.

Because all around them were filled with people.

At the place furthest ahead were the Leaders of Array and Crafts. Following behind them were hundreds of completion leveled cultivators.

As for those in the foundation level… they were standing from afar because they had no right to enter the fight.

“My real trial between life and death is next.”

Ling Xian’s expression was serious. He was fully aware of the fact that even though Ji Qian Bai and them were being blocked by the demon, and that the two elders were being blocked by Hong Chen Jun Zhu and the Array of the Astonished Gods, they were not the most critical key to this battle.

Because it was him, who was at the core of it all!

If he dies, the battle ends. If he escapes, there would be no more need to battle.

Thus, Ling Xian reignited his spiritual energy and made sure he was in his best condition.

Because what he was about to do next was the real test – a test that put his life on the line!

Two original leveled cultivators, hundreds of completion leveled cultivators – this situation, to even those of the original level, was a death trap.

But the situation has unfolded in this manner. Even if he only had a three inch sword, he’d have to pave out a path for himself to remain alive!

“Come at me! Let us battle!”

Ling Xian pointed his heavenly sword, Zi Yao, at everyone. His desire to fight was high and his passion for this battle stretched on for miles!
