Siege!

The group of fifteen sped away from the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.

They dared not linger for even a moment.

It wasn't for any other reason than that the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass was in Zhang Zu'an's hands.

The other elders of the Lineage also led their clansmen and Family General in different directions to break through.

This was done to disperse the combined offensive of the three major forces.

Those people didn't know which group the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass was in.

The only option is to disperse the troops and pursue them separately.

This gave the Zhang Family family a chance to break through the encirclement.

After all, all they knew were the cultivators of the Zhang Family who were publicly known.

Little did they know that the Zhang Family's Dark Hall had already been hidden, preparing an ambush!

It can be said that the Zhang Family has mobilized almost all the forces they could today for the sake of the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass.

They even conscripted a thousand cultivators from the Su Family and its Affiliated Family.

Zhang Zu'an knew this very well.

The operation will only be considered a success if the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass is successfully brought back to the Lineage.

Those fallen Family General and clansmen died a worthy death!

Only then can we live up to the sacrifices of our people who risked their lives to help them break through the encirclement!

Just then, a mocking voice reached everyone's ears:

"Haha, I never expected to reap such rewards from slacking off."

Not bad, not bad.

Cutting off your heads would be a great achievement.

The old guys in the sect couldn't say anything to me anymore.

Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck!

As soon as the voice faded, more than thirty cultivators appeared in the forest.

They stood atop the tall trees, arms crossed, their faces beaming with pride.

As soon as the speaker finished speaking, a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage spoke up with a smile:

"Senior Brother Jie Yang is joking."

This isn't laziness; it's taking control of the whole situation and strategizing effectively!

His gaze then fell on Zhang Zu'an, and he spoke again:

"This old man is the Fourth Elder of the Zhang Family."

Although he possessed the Foundation Establishment Peak.

However, due to old age and declining health, his strength was almost at the bottom among the elders of the Zhang Family.

The fact that they were the first to break through suggests that they received help from the rest of the Zhang Family.

I don't want this old guy to die in the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.

After all, this old guy is considered a veteran of the Zhang Family.

He held a very high position.

Perhaps, the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass is in his hands!

If we can kill them, we can retrieve the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass.

Senior Brother Jie Yang, your status will surely rise accordingly.

"You could very well be the future Ninglu Sect Leader of Ninglu Sect."

The female cultivator's voice was soft and seductive, yet her analysis was remarkably logical and insightful.

This stirred a fire within Jie Yang!

"Hahaha!

Kill them!

Leave no one alive!

After losing his chance to compete for the position of Sect Leader, Jie Yang became somewhat lazy and completely indifferent to sect affairs.

Just like this time.

He originally just wanted to bring his friends here to gain credit, and never intended to fight the Zhang Family.

In his mind, the Zhang Family were a bunch of lunatics.

They fight like they're out of their league.

Fighting them head-on is practically suicide.

But to his surprise, it brought him an unexpected joy.

At this time, Zhang Zu'an was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator on the Zhang Family's side.

The Ninglu Sect, on the other hand, has three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

I am at the Foundation Establishment Peak, Hong Xiu Junior Sister Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and Junior Brother Ze Ning Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

Besides them, the other thirty-odd Qi Refining cultivators were also inner disciple of the sect.

The weakest among them is at the Qi Refining Level 6.

Having annihilated the dozen or so Zhang Family Disciple who had just broken out of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range and used most of their trump cards, victory seemed assured.

If we can truly reclaim the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass, we might regain the qualification to compete for the Sect Leader.

At Jie Yang's command, more than thirty cultivators from the Ninglu Sect, armed with weapons, swarmed forward!

Various Law Technique were unleashed!

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zu'an's face darkened.

His worst fears came true!

He immediately shouted!

"Disperse!"

Upon hearing the sound, more than a dozen disciples of the Zhang Family dispersed on their swords.

Zhang Zu'an, wielding a long sword, charged head-on towards Jie Yang.

His body was filled with rampant fire-attribute Spiritual Qi.

"Jie Yang, prepare to die!"

Three Suns Sword Art!

Blazing Sun Sword!

Azure Sun Sword!

Golden Sun Sword!

Out!"

Clang!

Three sword cries rang out, and red, blue, and gold swords stood upright beside him.

A perfect Sword Momentum swirled around him.

At this moment, Zhang Zu'an's aged body stood tall and straight like a pine tree.

The next moment.

The three swords were drawn simultaneously, their sharp blades slicing through the surrounding trees.

He rushed straight towards Jie Yang.

Seeing the three sharp, three-colored longswords attacking him, he felt a chill run down his spine!

Damn it!

Zhang Zu'an, you're insane!

Your Qi and Blood are now Decline! Using all your strength will only accelerate the Decline of your blood and blood!

Do you really want to die?

Despite the insults, Jie Yang, being Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, reacted quickly.

"Black Spirit Shield Technique! Triple Stacking!"

The moment the sound rang out, three jet-black spiritual shields instantly appeared in front of him.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The terrifying Sword Qi struck the Black Spirit Shield, unleashing a tremendous Hong Ming.

It kicked up clouds of dust.

"Stop them!"

Amidst the dust, Jie Yang, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, stared at the shattering Wu Ling Shield.

He was greatly alarmed.

Does a perfected Sword Momentum really provide such a significant boost to a cultivator?

Just as the three sword shadows slowly dissipated, Jie Yang was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zu'an's figure had already disappeared from the spot. He rushed towards Hong Xiu with his sword in hand and said in a deep voice:

"My lifespan is nearing its end, and I hope that before I die, I can protect the safety of my clan."

Then you won't lose out!

As long as I live, you will never harm Zhang Family Disciple!

As he spoke, Zhang Zu'an took out a blood-red pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it directly.

In an instant, his previously Decline Qi and Blood surged rapidly, and his white hair was replaced by a head of black hair.

His aged face slowly transformed into that of a resolute middle-aged man.

Zhang Zu'an clenched his fist.

Sensing the energy within his body, he murmured aloud.

"A feeling I haven't felt in so long!"

His gaze then locked onto Hong Xiu, who wanted to kill Zhang Xuanhu. The long sword in his hand flew out, transforming into a Sword Dragon, and stabbed towards Hong Xiu.

"Hong Xiu! She attacked a junior!"

Aren't you ashamed!

Hong Xiu a chill run down her spine and turned around abruptly to look at Zhang Zu'an's condition, and was immediately shocked!

"Burn your Foundation Establishment True Essence!"

Swallow the Blood Burning Pill!

Zhang Zu'an! You're insane!

"Blood Drinking Blade - Sweeping Thousand Armies!"

Boom!

A powerful aura erupted from Hong Xiu, and the long sword in her hand instantly grew to more than ten zhang in length.

He then slashed at the incoming longsword.

Pfft!

The long sword snapped in two instantly.

Hong Xiu was blasted hundreds of meters away.

It crashed straight into Jie Yang, who had just regained his balance.

Immediately afterward, his right arm was engulfed in flames. He whirled around and grabbed Ze Ning's thrusting sword with his bare hands.

With a loud slap, Ze Ning was sent flying!

Jie Yang stared at the scene in disbelief, exclaiming, "How is this possible!"

How could you be so strong!

"Nothing is impossible." Zhang Zu'an stretched out his right hand, and the long sword that had been inserted into the crevice in the rock returned to his hand.

They watched as Zhang Xuntong and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with more than thirty cultivators.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Zhang Zu'an's face.

Simply because they had the upper hand.

As long as he can hold off the three Foundation Establishment in front of him, Zhang Xuntong and the others will be safe and sound!

Seeing Zhang Zu'an showing off in front of him.

Jie Yang immediately sneered, "Heh, Zhang Zu'an."

You're kidding me!

You are already old and frail.

He relied on burning his Foundation Establishment True Essence.

How long can taking the Blood Burning Pill last?

Today, not only will you die!

Those younger members of the Zhang Family must die too!

Hahaha!"

Jie Yang laughed wildly, his face full of mockery.

Zhang Zu'an's face darkened, and a mid- Third-grade Mid-tier offensive Spirit Talisman appeared in his hand.

I'll kill you all!

That's enough!

This is the only remaining Third-tier Spirit Talisman. In order to obtain the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass, the Zhang Family spent a lot of resources to purchase Spirit Talisman.

However, since Spirit Talisman are consumables, and high-level Spirit Talisman are hard to find, not many could be purchased.

It's already quite an achievement for him to have a Third-grade Mid-tier Spirit Talisman by his side.

After all, at this moment, each member of the Zhang Family was facing a situation where they were fighting against many opponents.

Especially Zhang Zujun and True Person Huang Tian.

Looking at the Third-grade Mid-tier Spirit Talisman in Zhang Zujun's hand.

The smile on Jie Yang's face vanished instantly.

He immediately took out a Third Stage- tier defensive magic Law Artifact and two Second-tier Top-grade defensive Spirit Talisman from his Storage Ring.

Seeing this, Hong Xiu Ze Ning also took out two Second-tier Top-grade defensive Spirit Talisman with a pained expression.

No?

They really didn't intend to fight to the death!

Can you please stop messing things up?

They used all their trump cards for the sect, which was not worth it in their eyes.
