Azure Lion Fell Behind
Upon hearing Xuanjing's words, the smile on Zhang Xuanchen's face slowly faded.
Noticing the change in his expression, Zhang Chongxian realized something and asked:
"Clan Leader, has a powerful enemy invaded?"
Zhang Xuanchen nodded, "Two Fourth Stage Late Stage Yao Sect."
My Zhang Family has never offended the Demon Race in all these years.
And these two Yao Sect leaders arrived just after the Great Sage and the Sleeping Turtle had broken through their limits.
It's likely they're here to win over the Great Sage and the Sleeping Turtle.
"Detian, activate the Clan Protection Array."
Shuang'er, Immortal Ancestor, Great Sage, Little Peach, let's go see what's going on.
The rest stayed behind to stay with their Lineage.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Zhang Xuanchen nodded slightly, and then he and Luo Lingshuang and the others disappeared into the Main Hall.
The instant they disappeared.
Zhang Detian then went to the throne for the Lineage ceremony and pressed the mechanism.
Immediately afterwards, a sword-shaped crystal appeared in front of me.
After the spiritual energy was injected, a buzzing sound rang out.
Immediately following, the Fourth-tier Peak Grade Myriad Swords Annihilating Evil Formation and the Mystic Yellow Mountain-Suppressing Formation were activated simultaneously.
It enveloped the entire Xuanxiao Mountain.
The sword's brilliance shimmered.
On the other side.
A stern, imposing man sped towards Xuanxiao Mountain.
A seductive woman dressed in a pink gauze dress and super-short animal skin pants, exuding charm with every move, sensed that the Clan Protection Array had been activated, and her expression darkened.
The woman spoke:
"Brother Azure Lion, you were able to sense our presence from such a great distance."
It seems there's someone in the Zhang Family who's no weaker than us.
Do you think we should fight them?
I hate fighting the most.
Brother Azure Lion, can you help me deal with them?
You can do whatever you want afterwards.
As she spoke, she winked at the Azure Lion.
The Azure Lion scanned the woman from head to toe, showing no sign of being tempted.
He said in a calm tone:
"Hu Yuanyuan, you're ugly as hell, but you have such high and mighty ideas."
"Idiot."
It's not that the woman isn't beautiful, but rather that the Azure Lion simply doesn't like this type.
After finishing his tirade, the Azure Lion took a step forward, its speed suddenly increasing.
I knew the Lord of Purple Clouds would send this fox.
He said he wouldn't come no matter what.
It has a foul, fishy smell.
The woman who heard this was furious. She was well-endowed in all the right places, and had an outstanding appearance. How was she ugly?
"Hmph, what an unromantic brute."
I'm sure that monkey will like this one.
Outside the Clan Protection Array, Zhang Xuanchen held a sword in his right hand, with the Starry Tower floating behind him, shimmering with light.
Zhang Chongxian, Luo Lingshuang, and the Great Sage also stood beside him, each holding Spirit Artifact.
Before long, the figures of Azure Lion and Hu Yuanyuan appeared before the four of them.
They stopped a kilometer away from Zhang Xuanchen and the others.
Without saying a word, Zhang Chongxian made his move:
"You beast!"
How dare you set foot on my Zhang Clan's Immortal Mountain!
Court death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of Nirvana Sword Intent erupted around him, and a hundred-foot-long sword shadow, surrounded by an aura of Annihilation, instantly materialized in the sky!
The terrifying aura caused Azure Lion and Hu Yuanyuan's expressions to change drastically!
A powerful swordsman in the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
How is that possible!
Shocked as he was, the Azure Lion moved swiftly!
Phantom Azure-Gold Lion King, a thousand feet long, appeared behind him.
Endless demonic power swept across the sky.
This unique Yao Sect, made all the Demon Beast in half of the Penglai Islands tremble.
Vast swathes of forest were completely wiped out by the blast wave.
Roar!
The thousand-foot- Lion King roared to the sky, and a beam of azure energy shot straight at the giant sword shadow falling from the sky.
Boom!
Boom!
The energy beam collided with the sword shadow, and the booming sound resounded for tens of thousands of miles around.
Sizzle sizzle.
The energy beam was gradually extinguished by the Nirvana Sword Intent surrounding the sword shadow.
Bang!
An explosion rang out, and the Annihilation sword shadow and the energy beam vanished simultaneously.
The Azure Lion retreated more than ten meters before regaining its footing.
Looking at Zhang Chongxian, who remained completely still, his eyes were filled with astonishment!
A cultivator who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage was able to suppress him in the very first move!
Not simple!
It seems that subduing the monkey demon this time will be very difficult.
Thinking of this, he clasped his hands in a Zhang Chongxian and said:
"I suppose you are the newly promoted Nascent Soul from the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain!"
The renowned Silent Void True Lord, right?
I had long heard that you were the supreme swordsman of the South Sea Immortal Continent, possessing extraordinary strength. Seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved!
He knew that Silent Void True Lord was using this move to flex his muscles and show them that the Zhang Clan was not someone anyone could easily manipulate.
Upon hearing Azure Lion's words, Zhang Chongxian clasped his hands in return and said:
"I wouldn't dare."
After saying that, he retreated to Zhang Xuanchen's left and slightly behind him.
The Azure Lion frowned.
The Silent Void True Lord isn't the highest decision-maker in the Zhang Family?!
Looking at Zhang Xuanchen, he said, "I suppose you must be Zhang Xuanchen, the Zhang Clan Patriarch."
"I have come here with no ill intentions, but for the sake of the Great Sage."
The tone lacked any respect and was even somewhat dismissive.
In his eyes, only the strong are worthy of speaking to him as equals.
Zhang Xuanchen is clearly not among them.
"Heh." Zhang Xuanchen chuckled dismissively.
Azure Lion frowned and asked, "Why is Clan Leader Zhang laughing?"
Is what I said really that funny?
Zhang Xuanchen replied in a deep voice:
"Of course it's funny. You say you came here with no ill intentions, yet you poach people right in front of the Clan Leader."
Is there a contradiction?
Or do you mean that stealing someone else's brother doesn't count as malicious?
"This..."
The Azure Lion was at a loss for words.
"Hmph, whether the Great Sage comes with me or not is not up to you."
He turned to look at the Great Sage and spoke again:
"Great Sage, the Your Majesty has already promised."
As long as you are willing to leave the Zhang Family and join the Azure Nether Mountain Range.
Once you break through to the Fourth Stage Peak, the Your Majesty will abdicate, and you will succeed him as the new Beast King.
Why should you stay in the Zhang Family and be subservient to others?
After all these years, you should have a deep understanding of how stifling it is to live under someone else's roof.
Come back, return to the embrace of my Demon Race.
Hearing Azure Lion's words, Zhang Xuanchen suppressed a laugh.
He did not speak, but instead left it to the Great Sage to do as he pleased.
"Feeling stifled?" The Great Sage picked at his ear. "Where do I feel stifled?"
I ate well, slept well, and had a great time at the Zhang Family.
In less than twenty years, he broke through from the mid-stage of the Third Stage to the Early Fourth Stage, becoming Yao Sect.
"Could I do that if I were in the Azure Nether Mountain Range?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuanyuan shouted:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Even if your bloodline is not weak, it is absolutely impossible for you to break through from the mid-stage of the Third Stage to the Early Fourth Stage in just over ten years!
The Great Sage glanced at Hu Yuanyuan, revealing a disdainful expression, "Why not?"
You big-breasted, brainless bastard.
I could smell your foxy odor from a distance.
Get away from me right now.
"I've taken elixirs before, have you?"
I've been to the Secret Realm, have you?
I've licked ice cream, have you?
