Heading to the Star Core's Location

After three and a half days of travel, Zhang Xuanchen returned to the vicinity of the Starry Holy Palace.

He looked at Wei Wushuang, who was sitting alone under a large tree, resting with his eyes closed.

He walked straight over.

Sensing Zhang Xuanchen's presence, Wei Wushuang slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Xuanchen, who had a slight smile on his face.

A smile played on his lips.

"What, did you find something good?"

"So happy?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's smile widened, and he deliberately glanced around before whispering:

"Indeed, I received some good things."

So I'd like to sell you the Star Token I have.

Wei Wushuang raised an eyebrow.

With a solemn expression, he said, "Aren't you going to the Holy Temple to compete for the fortuitous opportunity?"

Willing?

This concerns your future; you should think it through carefully before you speak.

If it were anyone else, Wei Wushuang certainly wouldn't have said those things.

But Zhang Xuanchen was one of the few people he could talk to.

We still need to confirm this.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen shook his head slightly, then looked at the people holding the tokens.

He said, "I want to go too."

But I'm even more afraid of dying.

Those who held the tokens were either at the Golden Foundation Establishment Peak.

Although I have mastered the Great Perfection Sword Momentum, my cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Their spiritual power is inherently inferior to theirs.

Do you think that even if I were to obtain fortuitous opportunity, I could survive against those people?

The fortuitous opportunity was indeed good, but one also needs to be alive to seize it.

Therefore, I Zhang, am withdrawing from this battle for succession.

Zhang Xuanchen's tone was resolute, without the slightest hint of pretense.

Wei Wushuang saw that Zhang Xuanchen's attitude was so resolute.

After thinking about his words again, he nodded and said:

"Indeed.

There is hope as long as you are alive.

How many tokens do you have?

Zhang Xuanchen held up four fingers, grinning, and said, "Four!"

Snap!

Wei Wushuang suddenly grabbed Zhang Xuanchen's wrist.

He picked at his ear.

He asked again, incredulously:

How much did you say?

"It's just four Star Tokens, what's the big deal?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's voice, Wei Wushuang's lips twitched slightly, and then his eyes turned cold.

The Blood Sword behind him was suddenly drawn, unleashing a terrifying Killing Sword Intent.

He turned and swung his sword.

They attacked the five figures rushing towards them from behind.

"Snort!"

Seeing the crimson sword light approaching, the handsome young man with red hair, dressed in Blood Gold Robe, snorted coldly.

With a swift movement of his right hand, a terrifying fiery hand instantly grasped at the sword light.

With a sudden grip, he crushed the sword light into dust.

The figure then stood in the void, arms crossed over its chest.

His eyes were filled with arrogance.

"Hehe, Wei Wushuang, what a show of power."

Four Star Tokens, can you handle that?!

Having said that, he looked at Zhang Xuanchen, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage ant like me can actually obtain four Star Tokens?

He immediately spoke in an arrogant tone:

"Wei Wushuang, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Of the four Star Tokens, your Wei Family will keep one.

The remaining three belong to my Southern Bright Flame Palace!

Yan Jin never took Zhang Xuanchen seriously from beginning to end, so he didn't even ask for his opinion.

He's an insignificant ant, not even worthy to speak to him.

Without waiting for Wei Wushuang's reply.

Zhang Xuanchen sneered and simultaneously raised his middle finger at Yan Jin.

He scoffed, "Heh."

Are the three Star Tokens yours?

You think you're some kind of halberd-wielding bastard?!

What's wrong? Is your face big or white?

He wants three Star Tokens right off the bat?

Let me tell you, you're nothing but a hair in my eye!

Yan Jin's arrogant attitude made Zhang Xuanchen very unhappy.

If Zhang Xuanchen had been even slightly more polite, he wouldn't have said those things to maintain a balance.

Of course, he had the confidence to say these things.

With the Starry Tower and the Xuanjing present, it's impossible to suppress a Nascent Soul.

Moreover, the Xuanjing will definitely become stronger after refining that fragment.

It's not necessarily impossible to kill Nascent Soul.

As for exposure?

He can't care about that anymore.

There's always a way out; let's vent our anger first!

Even if it's exposed, outsiders will only think that the Zhang Family possesses Spirit Artifact.

It's impossible to guess upwards.

After all, given the limited knowledge of these people from the South Sea Immortal Continent, would they even recognize Emperor-level or Immortal-level artifacts?

Also, Yan Jin is not yet the Saint Son of the Southern Bright Flame Palace.

His strength was indeed a minor realm higher than Nangong Qing's.

But that was due to the advantage of age.

At this time, Yan Jin was nearly a hundred years old, while Nangong Qing was only around eighty.

And their forces were like fire and water.

Yan Jin could never possibly use the power of a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul from a sect!

So there's nothing to worry about.

Hiss!

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's curses, everyone present was moved and focused their attention on him.

Their expressions varied.

Nangong Qing also glanced at Zhang Xuanchen with surprise, a slight smile playing on her lips.

After all, it's not easy to make Yan Jin suffer a setback.

Yan Jin was so angry that his whole body trembled!

How dare a Foundation Establishment Late Stage ant!

His figure vanished from the spot, and a Flame Spear materialized in his hand, which he thrust fiercely towards Zhang Xuanchen's throat!

The Gang Qi swirled around, turning everything in its path into scorched earth.

"Kid!"

You'd better die!

Just as the spear tip was about to strike Zhang Xuanchen, a figure in a blood-red robe blocked his way.

It was Wei Wushuang.

He stared at the incoming muskets, his expression unchanged.

The Blood Sword in his hand was plunged into the ground.

"Yan Jin! Are you treating me like I don't exist?"

As he finished speaking, his Blood Qi surged, and his spiritual power flowed into the sword.

He said in a deep voice:

Blood Sword Shield!

Rise!"

A blood shield instantly rose up, protecting Zhang Xuanchen within it.

Boom!

The muskets pounded against the blood shield.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Yan Jin glanced at him coldly, his brows furrowed.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a cold voice rang out. "Wei Wushuang!"

"You want to be my enemy?"

Hearing this, Wei Wushuang felt a wave of nausea.

That's so damn pretentious.

However, with the Wei Family behind him, it's best not to provoke them.

"Fellow Daoist Yan is joking."

Zhang Xuanchen is from the Wei Family's camp and wants to sell me the Star Token he has.

As the leader of the Wei Family team, I naturally had to protect him.

Moreover, that token belongs to Zhang Xuanchen; it would be impolite to skip over him entirely.

This is a disgrace to the Southern Bright Flame Palace.

If you were to actually kill him today, and word got out, you would likely earn a reputation for cruelty.

If someone with ulterior motives manipulates things, you will only drift further and further away from what you want.

"So, in that case, I should thank you?"

"No need for thanks, after all, Zhang Xuanchen was also at fault in this matter."

"These are all things I should do as the team leader," Wei Wushuang waved his hand magnanimously.

Yan Jin was furious, but had nowhere to vent his anger.

They had no choice but to swallow their anger.

What else can we do?

If I strike again, I'll truly become a thug!

Nangong Qing might consider the sect's reputation at this time and not want him to cause trouble.

But once they return to their sect, they will definitely spread the word!

This is detrimental to his chances of becoming the Saint Son!

On the other side.

Zhang Xuanchen was deeply moved by Wei Wushuang's protectiveness towards him.

He then handed the four Star Tokens in his hand to Wei Wushuang.

"Brother! Thank you for saving my life!"

These four spirit tablets are yours!

"How many Spirit Stones?" Wei Wushuang pretended to take the Spirit Stones.

Zhang Xuanchen quickly pressed his hand down and said:

"Sigh, talking about Spirit Stones between brothers hurts feelings."

These four tokens are a gift from me to you.

You just need to owe me a favor.

It's settled then.

"Can..."

"Haha, goodbye brother, I'm off first." Before Wei Wushuang could finish speaking, Zhang Xuanchen had already dashed several miles away.

It rushed straight towards the location of the Star Core.

The mess here isn't over yet; Wei Wushuang isn't going to leave just to chase after him.

As for why we didn't communicate telepathically just now, it's because we didn't.

Everyone present was Foundation Establishment cultivator, so even if he used telepathy, it went unnoticed.

But he will be detected the moment he takes out the Star Token.

So it can't be hidden at all.
