Awakening the Sword Body!
If Jun Xiaoyao were to make a move, he certainly wouldn't be discovered by the three members of the Luo Clan.
But what he cared about was never the Zhang Family, but the whole world.
Zhang Xuanchen's growth is beneficial to the stability of the future world.
The deaths of the Zhang Family members will actually help Zhang Xuanchen grow!
His true form is the origin of the Longevity Stone, and his lifespan is endless.
It has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
The Zhang Family was only a tiny part of his long life, and compared to the heavy responsibility he now bore to protect the common people, it seemed so insignificant.
Yes, he understands completely now.
The main reason why the deity created him and sent him to the mortal realm.
That is to protect all living beings and to seek a glimmer of hope for all!
If destroying the Zhang Family could lead to the complete annihilation of the Outer Realm Evil Demon, he would not hesitate to destroy the Zhang Family!
What he cared about was the common people, not just the Zhang Family.
Therefore, he would not interfere in matters that would benefit Zhang Xuanchen's growth.
Forcibly intervening will only backfire.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Horizon Pavilion blocked the Luo Clan's attack for the Zhang Family, thus saving the Zhang Family from annihilation,...
That's more than enough!
Nobody can find fault with it!
Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Bai Zijing, Yan Ruyu, and the others fell silent.
After a long silence, Bai Zijing finally spoke, looking towards the location of the Luo Clan.
He bowed again.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
"Um.
Nothing in this world happens without a cause, nor does any fruit have no root.
Every thread of connection exists in the Unseen.
After saying that, Jun Xiaoyao disappeared from the spot and returned to the Zhang Family, where he once again became a carefree and insignificant Family General, oblivious to the world around him.
After Jun Xiaoyao left, Bai Zijing and Yan Ruyu exchanged a glance before disappearing into the void.
Somewhere in the void.
Luo Yuanhui, holding the Image Recording Stone, noticed that the group from the Horizon Pavilion had not made any move for a long time.
He was extremely angry.
"Damn it! The people of the Horizon Pavilion really don't care about the Zhang Family's life or death!"
Originally, he intended to use the Image Recording Stone to expose Horizon Pavilion's secret assistance to the Zhang Family and its involvement in worldly struggles.
This will ruin Horizon Pavilion's reputation.
It sounds wonderful, but reality is cruel.
Just as Yan Ruyu said, they came today only to stop the Luo Clan from destroying the Zhang Family.
That's all.
The Luo Clan bullied the weak, Horizon Pavilion dispatched powerful individuals to protect the relatives of those who invested in the clan, without breaking the rules.
"Well."
Luo Yichen sighed inwardly.
He said, "Let's go, Horizon Pavilion won't make a move."
"These are rules that have been in place for tens of thousands of years; they can't possibly break them for the sake of the Zhang Family."
Before the words had even faded, Luo Yichen had already left the skies above the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.
In his eyes, this life-or-death struggle was nothing more than a minor skirmish.
It has absolutely no meaning.
As for helping the Zhang Family eliminate their enemies?
Don't be ridiculous, he's still seething with anger, why would he possibly help the Zhang Family?
At this moment, he secretly vowed that when Zhang Xuanchen returned, he would teach him a lesson.
Ultimately, it's up to him to decide how to conduct the test!
He simply refused to believe that a mere youth not even thirty years old could defeat him!
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After safely returning the Yaoyang Sword Leaf Grass to its Lineage, the battle between the Zhang Family and the Ninglu Sect, the Cloud Mountain Sword Sect, Yunmeng Jiang Clan came to an end.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.
Vice Clan Leader Zhang Hongzhan was dressed in mourning clothes.
Standing behind forty-seven coffins.
Standing beside him Zhang Zujun, whose face was pale and who looked decades older.
Standing behind him were elders Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guangli, Zhang Guanghan, the hall master, and all the Zhang Family Disciple.
The Seventh Elder, Zhang Hongyi, had no arm.
The rest of the tribesmen were all injured.
But fortunately, they are still alive.
Their eyes were bloodshot as they looked at the coffins laid out before them.
The low sobs amplified the atmosphere of grief and indignation.
Just then, Zhang Hongzhan's voice rang out:
"In the battle of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, forty-seven members of the clan perished."
They are, respectively, the Fourth Elder Zhang Zu'an, the Deputy Hall Master of the War Hall Zhang Guangqi, and the Deputy Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall Zhang Hongbei.
Zhang Clan members, Zhang Guanglü, Zhang Mingguo, Zhang Hongmiao...
Zhang Hongzhan read out the names of the fallen members of his clan one by one.
The voice was mournful, filled with resentment.
He wanted revenge, but he couldn't!
He couldn't gamble with the lives of the remaining members of his tribe!
As he finished reading the last name, Zhang Hongzhan's eyes flickered slightly.
Firm tone:
They are Lineage heroes!
Now, his name is engraved on the Hero Monument!
May our Lineage descendants worship us for generations to come!
"The name of heroes will never fade!"
As the words fell, Zhang Hongzhan bowed deeply towards the coffin.
The rest of the clansmen responded in unison!
"The name of heroes will never fade!"
The sound was deafening, startling the birds in the forest.
After standing up again, Zhang Hongzhan waved and shouted loudly:
"Enter! The Ancestral Mausoleum!"
After the coffins of his clansmen were laid to rest, Zhang Hongzhan turned to look at the crowd behind him.
"Gentlemen, this blood feud will be avenged by the Zhang Clan."
Once the Ancestor and Clan Leader return, the Ninglu Sect will surely pay for their blood debts!
"Those who died in the battle of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range will receive double the compensation, and their children will be supported by their Lineage. Those with Spirit Root will receive double the cultivation resources between the ages of seven and eighteen!"
The compensation for those who died in battle in all Affiliated Force must also be implemented in a timely manner.
There must be no mistakes!
The following morning.
Zhang Hongzhan led the fourteen-year-old Zhang Xuance to the depths of Flower Fruit Mountain, to the place where Little Peach lived.
This was Zhang Xuanchen's arrangement before he left.
The location of Little Peach is protected by a restriction set up by Xuanjing. Although it is not strong, it is still enough to easily conceal the Extraordinary Phenomena of heaven and earth revealed by the awakening of the sword body.
Deep within Flower Fruit Mountain, peach groves surround it.
At this moment, the restriction had been activated, and an invisible array had completely enveloped an area within a mile radius.
In the center of the grand formation sat a Sword Furnace, taller than a person.
At this time, Zhang Zujun, Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Guangli, and the other six elders had all arrived.
His gaze toward Zhang Xuance was full of anticipation.
The Zhang Clan is finally about to produce a sword Heavenly Talent!
Zhang Xuance looked at the Sword Furnace in front of him, his eyes full of doubt.
Looking at Zhang Hongzhan beside him, he asked:
"Vice Clan Leader, what is this?"
"Haha, Xuan Ce, this is Sword Furnace, something you'll use to awaken your sword body."
"Sword Body? I possess a Sword Body?" Upon hearing the words "Sword Body, "Zhang Xuance was both surprised and delighted.
Seeing this, Zhang Hongzhan laughed and said:
Yes, that's right!
You possess a sword-like body, something that was not mentioned before.
This is because the clan lacks the necessary materials for the sword.
