Zhang Family, I'm Back!

Yin Qianbao was completely numb.

Is this even a normal human being?

Shouldn't a normal person be trembling with fear and turning pale upon learning they have such a powerful enemy?

What's the deal with this Su Qingchen?

In response to Yin Qianbao's question, Zhang Xuanchen replied:

"Fear death.

Of course I'm afraid of dying.

How many people in this world are truly unafraid of death?

But fear of death doesn't necessarily have to be outwardly expressed.

Will showing fear or terror save you from death?

No.

"Moreover, it is the Zhang Family, Non-Self Su Family, that is at odds with the Feather Immortal Sect."

If a crisis truly comes, I can hide and escape.

In a battle at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core levels, who would notice if a Qi Refining ant like me were missing?

Upon hearing this, Yin Qianbao froze on the spot.

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Xuanchen.

He then burst into loud laughter.

Haha, wonderful, wonderful.

Brother Su is truly a remarkable person.

Aren't you afraid I'll tell the Zhang Family what I've said?

Knowing the Zhang Family's style, they would definitely give me some reward.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's lips curled into a smile.

He took a leisurely sip of the Spirit Tea.

I trust Brother Yin's character.

Besides, given Brother Yin's background, would he care about such petty favors?

Haha, okay.

Brother Su is generous and kind. Although I, Yin Qianbao, am of low talent, I am a man of great integrity.

Don't worry.

If the Zhang Family asks you to inquire about the Feather Immortal Sect again in the future...

Come and find me.

Don't miss this opportunity to snag a great deal!

Yin Qianbao had by this point completely regarded Zhang Xuanchen as a close friend.

After all, Zhang Xuanchen's previous words had essentially placed his life in Zhang's hands.

If he can't trust anyone, then who can he trust?

And this was also Zhang Xuanchen's goal.

Yin Qianbao is the son of the Yin Lineage patriarch. Even if he lacks talent, shouldn't he at least be able to speak to his father?

Gaining his trust is tantamount to gaining the opportunity to speak with the head of the Silver Lineage.

In this way, in future exchanges, they could "Wuxin" reveal some of the Zhang Family's methods for dealing with the Feather Immortal Sect.

For example, how long can we hold off the powerful members of the Feather Immortal Sect, and how much damage can we inflict on them?

And the specific strength of the Zhang Family, etc.

This gives the Yin Family the opportunity to steal from their home.

I believe the Yin Family will not refuse.

After all, with the Zhang Family's current strength, they are no match for the Feather Immortal Sect, let alone be able to destroy it.

They can only seek "allies" who can pose a threat to the Feather Immortal Sect.

"Haha, Brother Yin is so straightforward."

If the Zhang Family is fortunate enough to survive this battle, I will inform you immediately of any new policies or benefits announced.

"OK.

I had a very pleasant conversation with Brother Su today; we can't just have tea."

Yin Qianbao called out to the door:

Wang Er!

Bring me some wine! Today, I'm going to drink with Brother Su until we're both drunk!

As dusk fell, Zhang Xuanchen emerged from the Yuzhi Merchant House.

Arriving at the center of the Inner City, where the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild is located.

Because of his killing of Dugu Jian and the fact that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, he had no intention of going into seclusion for the past year.

Feather Immortal Sect intends to take action against the Zhang Family, they will surely come within a year.

If they don't come, it proves that the Feather Immortal Sect has no intention of seeking revenge for the time being.

Xuanxiao Merchant Guild.

Inside a sealed room.

Zhang Xuanchen has returned to his original appearance. Luo Lingshuang, Great Sage, Little Peach, and the president of the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild have all gathered here.

Zhang Xuanchen put down his teacup.

With a sigh:

"We've found out that the Feather Immortal Sect's strength far exceeds our expectations."

Five Nascent Soul True Lord, one in the late stage and one in the middle stage.

Two hundred experts at the Golden Core stage or above.

This lineup is far superior even to the Nine Splendor Sword Sect at its peak.

If the enemy mobilizes their entire army, my Zhang Family will undoubtedly be wiped out.

However, such a situation will certainly not occur.

The Yin Family, Nascent Soul Clan in the Xuanwu Sea Region, is eyeing the Feather Immortal Sect with covetous intent.

Therefore, even if the other side attacks my Zhang Family, they will at most send out 30% of their fighting force.

In this way, my Zhang Family can still resist.

That is..."

Zhang Xuanchen looked at Luo Lingshuang, "Shuang'er, you might not be able to keep those thirteen Fourth-grade Spirit Talisman in your possession."

"It's alright," Luo Lingshuang replied.

His tone showed no hesitation.

"I accepted those thirteen Fourth-grade Spirit Talisman precisely to deal with the Feather Immortal Sect."

"I can't just stand by and watch the Feather Immortal Sect destroy my second home, can I?"

Luo Lingshuang smiled and spoke in a light tone.

Efforts were made to alleviate Zhang Xuanchen's feelings of guilt and pressure.

Just as Zhang Xuanchen was feeling moved, the Great Sage suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

He roared angrily, "Hmph!"

What a load of bullshit, the Feather Immortal Sect!

Xuan Chen, don't worry. I'm no match for someone in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but I am a match for Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"If I activate the power of the Monster Core, I can fight it to a standstill!"

As he spoke, the Great Sage walked to Little Peach's side.

He patted her on the shoulder.

Speaking again:

"Moreover, those guys from the Feather Immortal Sect would never have imagined, even if they racked their brains, that such a young girl could unleash Divine Sense Nascent Soul."

"At that time, you will hold the Starry Tower, Ling Shuang will hold the Tidal Lotus Lamp."

With our combined strength, even if that Nascent Soul Late Stage True Monarch Yu Hua himself came, we could still defeat him!

Zhang Hongkai, standing to the side, also spoke up:

"Xuan Chen, my talent is limited, and I have only reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage so far."

They can't handle Golden Core cultivators, let alone Nascent Soul.

All I can do is offer my support.

Unconditional support!

I swear to live and die with my Lineage!

Zhang Hongkai's words were resounding and demonstrated his determination.

The last sentence was also said by all the elders and the head of the Lineage three days ago.

At that moment, the pressure in Zhang Xuanchen's heart suddenly disappeared.

He was never alone from beginning to end.

The entire Zhang Family is united!

"Good!"

Zhang Xuanchen uttered a single word heavily.

"Let my Zhang Family test the mettle of the Feather Immortal Sect."

Hahaha."

After returning to Xuanxiao Mountain from Lingxiao Immortal City.

Zhang Xuanchen then plunged into the Lingxiao Trial Tower to hone his magical Law Technique.

This Trial Tower is indeed remarkable.

It even includes the incarnation of the High Antiquity ferocious beast Qiongqi.

The terrifying danger posed by the ferocious beast was such that even with Zhang Xuanchen's Divine Dragon Tyrant Body and Starry Body fully activated, he was no match for it.

Ultimately, they failed at the seven-star difficulty level.

They haven't even gotten close to the eight-star level.

This proves that Zhang Xuanchen's combat power at the Golden Core Peak realm is still quite different from that of the High Antiquity ferocious beasts and the Human Race prodigies in the Spirit Realm.

Not only Zhang Xuanchen, but also Luo Lingshuang, Great Sage, and Zhang Xuanbing are all stuck at the seventh star.

Wuxin has never even cleared the six-star difficulty level.

In the following period, all the high-ranking members of the Zhang Clan family honed their combat skills and improved their Law Technique within the Trial Tower.

We are ready to welcome the arrival of the Feather Immortal Sect at any time.

Of course, they would hand over Spirit Stones each time they entered.

No one is exempt.

On Xuanxiao Mountain, everyone was busy cultivating, moving people around, and relocating spiritual objects.

No one slacked off.

Because they all knew this was the calm before the storm!

Seven months later.

At the Sky Scar Apex, above the Cloud Line.

Inside the Divine Temple.

Zhang Chongxian slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were a greyish-silver color, utterly cold.

Boom!

A powerful pressure unique to Nascent Soul Cultivators emanated from within his body.

Countless gray-gold sword shadows floated around him.

His tall and slender figure was perfectly accentuated by his grey robe with gold patterns.

After condensing the Sword Core and breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

Zhang Chongxian looked much younger, his appearance changing from that of a middle-aged man in his forties to that of a young man in his thirties.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, and her facial features were sharply defined.

A faint glint of sword light flickered in his eyes.

With every gesture, the Sword Intent cleaved through the sky.

"Is this what Nascent Soul is?"

Indeed, it's worlds apart from the Golden Core Peak!

Zhang Chongxian clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.

I felt incredibly happy.

He walked to the throne in the Divine Temple and pulled out the gray-gold longsword that was stuck to the right of the throne.

Clang!

The sound of countless swords rang out suddenly, as if expressing their joy at finding a new master.

"What a fine sword!"

Zhang Chongxian let out a gasp of surprise, gripping the sword hilt tightly with his right hand.

I glanced at the statue of the Evil-Breaking Heavenly Venerate.

"I obtained the inheritance of the Evil-Breaking Heavenly Venerate, and by chance, I condensed Sword Core, which transformed into a sword infant."

I, Zhang Chongxian, will never forget this kindness!

Therefore.

This sword is named -- Evil-Breaking!

Slay evil and vanquish demons! Sweep away all monsters and evil spirits!

Boom!

The Divine Temple gates slowly opened.

Zhang Chongxian slung his longsword over his shoulder and slowly turned around.

"Zhang Family, I'm back!"
