Chen Xin's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing Acheron.
He noticed the saber at Acheron's waist, which reminded him of the blade qi he had encountered in the forest earlier.
Could it be that this young girl left it behind? he wondered.
However, Chen Xin quickly dismissed the thought.
To him, the young girl before him didn't look like a master of the blade at all.
The cultivation of blade and sword arts was different from ordinary Soul Power cultivation.
Without years of accumulation, one's skill simply couldn't improve.
Furthermore, Chen Xin couldn't sense any Soul Power from the young girl.
It seemed her strength wasn't high.
The expert he met in the forest that day couldn't have been her.
Thus, Chen Xin said to Lu Jiang:
"Hmph, do you think you can just come and go as you please in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Are you trying to leave now because you have something to hide?"
As Chen Xin spoke, his aura intensified by another three points.
Although Lu Jiang had already reached the Soul King realm, there was still a significant gap between him and a Titled Douluo.
Under normal circumstances, the mere pressure from a Titled Douluo would be enough to make an ordinary Soul King kneel.
However, Lu Jiang wasn't afraid of any of that.
His God-Tier Martial Soul meant he wouldn't be affected by any Soul Power fluctuations, even when facing a Titled Douluo.
Lu Jiang looked coldly at Chen Xin and said to him:
"My legs are my own. I can go wherever I please, and it's not up to you to dictate."
"If you want to fight, I'll see it through to the end."
Lu Jiang's composed attitude didn't anger Chen Xin; instead, it earned him a measure of appreciation.
Chen Xin had trained under his father since childhood, and given his talent, he likely would never have become a Titled Douluo.
But it was precisely because of his arrogance and his courage to defy Heaven Dou that he was able to break through to become a Titled Douluo.
Therefore, when Chen Xin saw Lu Jiang, he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards him.
It was just a pity that the Sect Master had ordered Lu Jiang to be confined to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a year to ascertain his loyalty.
Now, it seemed that even if Lu Jiang wasn't the culprit behind the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was definitely hiding something else.
Anyone who could potentially be a threat to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had to be eliminated!
Moreover, Chen Xin was a guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Lu Jiang dared to speak to him in such a tone, so full of arrogance. Chen Xin felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson.
With this thought, several Flying Swords instantly appeared around Chen Xin.
His gaze was sharp as he fixed it on Lu Jiang. He had long heard of Lu Jiang's extraordinary talent, otherwise, he wouldn't have gained the favor of the Sect Master and Rongrong.
Today, he would test Lu Jiang's strength on their behalf.
"What big talk for a junior. To dare speak to me like this."
"Today, I will teach you what respect is!"
Then, Chen Xin activated the Flying Swords beside him and shot them towards Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang frowned and asked Acheron, "What do you think? Can we win?"
Acheron nodded and replied, "I've almost recovered. And, because your strength has increased, a part of my power seems to have returned."
"Dealing with him shouldn't be a big problem."
"Or rather, we will win."
After speaking, Acheron placed her hand on the hilt of her saber, ready to sever Chen Xin's Flying Swords at any moment.
However, just then.
A dark spatial rift suddenly appeared at the tip of the Flying Sword.
Then, a skeletal figure of an unknown Soul Beast slowly emerged from the rift.
It then bit down on the Flying Sword and dragged it into the rift.
"Old Bone? What are you doing here?"
Chen Xin exclaimed in surprise.
The one he called Old Bone was precisely the other of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two guardian Douluo, Bone Douluo—Gu Rong.
"Heh heh, old man. This is the Sect Master's person. If you break him right away, the Sect Master will be angry."
A sinister voice echoed from the crack that had just appeared.
Following that, a young man with black hair and a black robe slowly emerged from the crack.
After Gu Rong appeared from the gap, Ning Fengzhi followed him out.
"Sect Master."
Chen Xin respectfully called out upon seeing Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, then turned around, his eyes coldly fixed on Lu Jiang as he spoke:
"I knew it. Your sudden desire to return to the sect definitely had ill intentions."
"Now that you want to leave, you must have already gotten what you wanted, right?"
Saying this, Ning Fengzhi slowly extended his hand towards Lu Jiang.
He spoke to Lu Jiang in a murderous tone:
"Hand it over, or die here."
Ning Fengzhi had now realized that no matter what he did, he couldn't persuade Lu Jiang to sincerely join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Since that was the case, he might as well destroy it here.
Such a genius, if they couldn't have him, they absolutely couldn't let other forces obtain him.
They had to nip him in the bud before he could grow.
After speaking, the two Douluo behind Ning Fengzhi simultaneously unleashed their domains.
Filters of two different colors, one white and one black, completely enveloped the space around Lu Jiang.
He knew that this time, he probably wouldn't be able to leave easily.
However, Lu Jiang showed no intention of backing down.
He summoned his Martial Soul, and four Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet.
Upon seeing Lu Jiang's Soul Rings, the three from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were all shocked.
What kind of configuration was this?
Who could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring right from the start?
Even if someone could help Lu Jiang kill a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, the human body's limits absolutely prevented absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level ten.
Even a Thousand Year Soul Ring had never appeared before.
Lu Jiang's talent was truly unprecedented.
This further solidified Ning Fengzhi's resolve to keep him here.
Regardless of life or death, Lu Jiang was not leaving this place.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone. This person is not simple. For safety's sake, let's all three of us go together."
Chen Xin snorted dismissively. As a Titled Douluo, it was already beneath him to fight a mere Soul King.
Now, he had to gang up on him?
If this got out, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo bullying a junior with their full strength would be a laughingstock!
Gu Rong narrowed his eyes and said with a grin to Ning Fengzhi:
"Everything is as the Sect Master commands. Since you want us to act, then we shall act."
With that, Gu Rong tore open another rift in front of him.
Then, a massive tailbone extended from within, sweeping towards Lu Jiang like a sharp blade.
Chen Xin watched from the side, showing no intention of intervening.
However, at that moment, a purple light flashed in Huang Quan's eyes.
Then, she instantly drew her blade, cleaving Gu Rong's weapon in two.
