Good Causes, Good Results
"Xuan Chen!"
"Brother Chen!"
"Xiao Chen!"
"Seventh Brother!"
The Zhang Family members exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to fly away.
They knew better than anyone that without Zhang Xuanchen, they would all perish today.
After all, the Zhang Family Clan Protection Array was only at the Third-grade Top-tier.
Even a casual strike from an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't withstand it, let alone Chu Tianxiong's full-force attack.
Zhang Chongxian took a step forward and appeared beside Zhang Xuanchen in the next moment.
Catch it steadily.
After sensing it for a moment, his expression turned somewhat grim.
"The spirit is weak, and the spiritual energy in the dantian is depleted."
The body's meridians were ruptured, and the large amount of elixirs consumed caused erysipelas to accumulate in what was originally a flawless body.
Even with the help of Thousand-year Stone Milk, a complete recovery would take at least two years.
"I'll take Xuan Chen to the quiet room for seclusion first."
Ling Shuang, thank you for coming to entertain Fellow Daoist Hua.
Luo Lingshuang, her face slightly pale, glanced at Zhang Xuanchen, who had fallen into a coma, her beautiful eyes filled with deep worry.
But he also knew that he really needed to stay and say something to Hua Shisan.
After all, Hua Shisan was her master, and the two people in the Zhang Family who had any influence with her left.
It would be rather impolite of her to leave.
"Yes, Immortal Ancestor."
After Zhang Chongxian led Zhang Xuanchen away...
Luo Lingshuang turned to look at the Lineage, all of whom were injured, and said:
"Today, all of you will fight to the death to protect the Zhang Clan."
He is a hero of the Zhang Clan, and his contributions are indispensable.
As for the fallen members of the clan...
Great Elder, this matter is entrusted to you.
Make sure to inscribe the name of each hero on the Lineage's Hero Monument.
"Rewards will be given after the Clan Leader awakens."
"The rest of you should go back to seclusion to heal your injuries, lest you damage your foundation and affect your cultivation."
As soon as the words were spoken, the Zhang Family cultivators respectfully replied:
"I will obey the orders of the Clan Leader's Wife!"
Senior Qingming, we take our leave.
Then the crowd retreated like the tide.
Chu Zhiwei was taken to a forbidden room and locked up by two clansmen.
She can only be dealt with personally by the Immortal Ancestor.
The wives, husbands, parents, and children of the deceased were sobbing uncontrollably, heartbroken.
But no one stepped forward to cry or make a scene, causing trouble for the Lineage.
To die protecting their Lineage is both their calamity and their glory.
Seeing this, Luo Lingshuang felt terrible, but she was helpless and didn't know how to comfort her.
As if sensing Luo Lingshuang's thoughts, Hua Shisan put away the Sect-Suppressing Spirit Artifact.
He slowly opened his mouth:
"Death is an inevitable part of the rise of a power."
The only way to prevent it is to become stronger.
When you become strong enough, when the Zhang Family becomes strong enough, even a gatekeeper will be respected by thousands when he goes out.
No one dares to mess with them.
"To be honest, I was shocked by the Zhang Family's behavior."
When the Lineage was suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy and faced annihilation.
Not a single member of the Lineage questioned the situation, shifted blame, or backed down.
Those who participated in the war were united as one, facing the common enemy head-on.
Those who cannot participate in the war lament their lack of ability and age.
To be honest, in all my centuries of life, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it.
Ling Shuang, I think this is the main reason why you like staying in the Zhang Family, right?
Luo Lingshuang nodded.
Yes, Master.
This kind of atmosphere is absent in the Nine Splendor Sword Sect, and I can't even feel it in the Luo Clan of the Central Lands.
They've had too much of a comfortable life for too long.
As a result, most of the Luo Clan have forgotten their original aspirations.
They became proud, arrogant, haughty, and enjoyed controlling other people's lives, even their lives and deaths.
Luo Lingshuang looked up at the full moon hanging high in the sky.
The bright moonlight shone on her pale, delicate face.
This makes it appear exceptionally poignant and beautiful.
"Master, on behalf of my brother and the others, I apologize to you and to the Nine Splendor Sword Sect once again."
Thank you for your kind assistance this time.
This kindness, my disciple, and the Zhang Family will never forget.
"If needed in the future, the Zhang Family will certainly do its utmost to help."
Upon hearing this, Hua Shisan laughed loudly, "Hahaha."
Ling Shuang, you're talking about the Zhang Family all the time now.
Unfortunately, Chu Zhiwei didn't have that good fortune.
They lost the opportunity to stand above millions in the future.
The opportunity to look down upon the world has been lost.
That's right, above everyone else.
After this battle, Hua Shisan finally understood.
As long as Zhang Xuanchen, Luo Lingshuang, and Zhang Chongxian survive, the Zhang Family will surely stand at the pinnacle of the South Sea Immortal Continent in the future.
All powers across this continent will grovel at the feet of the Zhang Family.
Upon hearing the name Chu Zhiwei, Luo Lingshuang's face remained completely expressionless.
He said calmly:
She used to be a good person, but she doesn't deserve sympathy.
Now he has fallen into a miserable state of being abandoned by everyone; he deserves it.
"That's quite right," Hua Shisan wholeheartedly agreed.
"Every pitiful person has something hateful about them; this saying, though absolute, is not without reason."
"Alright, that's enough about our master-disciple relationship for today."
"I'm leaving, don't see me off."
As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword rose from beneath Hua Shisan's feet, and he was about to leave.
"Master!"
Luo Lingshuang called out to Hua Shisan.
Looking at his back, he said sincerely:
"I hope that in the future, we will never be at each other's throats."
Her words practically made it clear that she shouldn't make enemies of the Zhang Family.
Hua Shisan understood what she meant.
He chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, if I really had that intention, why would I come here to sow good karma?"
As soon as the sound faded, it vanished into the air like a gentle breeze.
Luo Lingshuang stared at the spot where Hua Shisan had disappeared, murmuring to herself:
Good deeds may not necessarily lead to bad results.
Chu Zhiwei's fate is still fresh in everyone's mind. As for the future of the Zhang Family and the Nine Splendor Sword Sect, only time will tell.
On the other side.
Lying atop a giant rock, Jun Xiaoyao had been keeping a close eye on the battle, slowly opened his eyes.
"A sudden breakthrough brings calamity and glory, and boundless immortal Guangyao sect."
"The rise of the Zhang Clan is unstoppable!"
He stood up, closed his eyes slightly, and sensed the changes in spiritual energy between heaven and earth under the cover of night.
When he opened his eyes again, they had turned into a chaotic blue light.
Look up at the sky.
"The ascension of heaven and earth has begun."
One year later.
The Central Land Immortal Continent.
The five powerful Ancestor —the Luo Clan, the Nine Nether Devil Palace, the Great Void Immortal Sect, and others—all opened their eyes at the Peak Spirit Transformation.
The desire for spiritual cultivation, which has been cultivated for thousands of years, surged with intense emotion at this moment.
They broke through their barriers and appeared in the sky!
A terrifying aura of power emanated from within him!
They stretched out their hands, sensing the changes in spiritual energy in the Xuanqiong Cultivation World.
His face was filled with ecstatic joy!
"This is..."
"Heaven and Earth ascend!"
"Hahaha, Heaven hasn't forsaken me! Heaven hasn't forsaken me!"
"How fortunate I am to witness such a magnificent scene of the heavens and earth ascending to new heights!"
Boom boom boom!
The five super powers of the Central Lands, the peak demon Yao King of the Demon Race, the lords of various Forbidden Land, and other powerful figures unfolded their respective domains in the sky.
It exudes overwhelming power.
The entire continent trembled at that moment!
At this moment, the various Secret Realm slowly merged with the Xuanqiong Cultivation World!
