Chapter 846 - 674: Chaos at Danxia
It was indeed the Sect Leader, True Master Zhi Yang of the Danxia Sect.
His aura was perfectly rounded and complete, having astonishingly reached the realm of Golden Core Perfection.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother!"
The expressions of the three True Masters Ming Jing turned solemn as they hurried forward to pay their respects.
True Master Ming Jing’s lips moved slightly, evidently reporting quickly through secret communication.
After listening, True Master Zhi Yang’s gaze shifted to Shen Xuan, with a hint of anger appearing on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, aren’t you going to release them?"
True Master Zhi Yang’s voice was deep, solemn, and authoritative.
Shen Xuan glanced at him, smiled slightly, and did not say more.
He extended a finger.
The nine Spirit Banners confining Cui Jin True Master and Bao Song True Master immediately transformed into streams of light and flew back.
The array was lifted, and the icy Sword Qi surrounding the two also dissipated.
At their first meeting, he gave enough face to this Sect Leader of the Danxia Sect.
Cui Jin True Master and Bao Song True Master looked ashamed and flew back to True Master Zhi Yang’s side in embarrassment.
Cui Jin True Master whispered a few words urgently, his voice extremely low.
True Master Zhi Yang’s pupils suddenly contracted, staring intently at Shen Xuan, his anger intensified, flashing with disbelief.
"What did you say?"
His voice carried a hint of shock.
Before Cui Jin True Master could answer again, light footsteps were heard from the entrance of the Cave Mansion.
Two figures, one leading the other, walked out from the Cave Mansion.
Leading was a young female cultivator, exceptionally beautiful, with lively features and an aura full of vitality.
Yet her complexion was slightly pale.
It was Li Ruyi, who had regained her flesh body, her appearance even younger than years ago.
Behind her followed Liu Qianshan, who was staggering and looked decrepit, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
Upon seeing Li Ruyi, True Master Zhi Yang’s shock could no longer be concealed.
"Li Ruyi? Is it really you?"
Li Ruyi stopped, her gaze like an ice pick piercing towards True Master Zhi Yang.
No more was there any feeling of fellowship from the past, only a deep-seated hatred.
"Zhi Yang, you despicable man!"
Li Ruyi spoke each word distinctly, her voice icy cold, clearly resonating in the ears of everyone present.
True Master Zhi Yang’s face flushed abruptly.
Being so rebuked in front of several True Masters of the sect, his authority as Sect Leader was completely gone.
"Cease this nonsense!"
True Master Zhi Yang shouted sternly, "Li Ruyi, you violated the sect rules back then, the evidence is irrefutable, your crime should be punished!"
He suddenly turned to Shen Xuan, his tone firm, "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, this is a private matter of the Danxia Sect! In consideration of True Monarch Qing Yun, knowing you’ve been misled, if you leave now, I will not hold you accountable!"
Shen Xuan acted as if he didn’t hear.
He turned his head to look at Li Ruyi beside him, his tone calm, "How are you feeling?"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, I’m alright."
Li Ruyi replied softly, her gaze still locked on True Master Zhi Yang opposite, concealing concern.
"It’s just them..."
She had just returned to her soul body, her cultivation was only at the Early Stage of True Pill, far from a match for the several Golden Core True Masters opposite.
"No worries."
Shen Xuan said indifferently, his demeanor composed.
"Let’s go back."
His tone was plain, yet he said "back" as a matter of course.
As if the few people opposite were just roadside plants.
And the Fiery Flame Flying Sword hanging in front of True Master Zhi Yang was not worth mentioning at all.
This disregard completely ignited True Master Zhi Yang’s anger.
"Presumptuous!"
The cold light in his eyes surged, the last trace of restraint thrown aside.
The Junior Brothers Cui Jin and Bao Song had already returned safely.
Liu Qianshan had little lifespan left and his attitude was ambiguous, clearly secretly assisting Li Ruyi.
Things had reached this point, for the sect’s face, to suppress this old affair, he must take action.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, since you disrespect yourself, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entirely red Fiery Flame Flying Sword in front of him shook violently, its sword body burst into several meters high searing golden flames, the air scorched to distortion and blur.
In the next moment, the Flying Sword transformed into a line of fire that could incinerate the sky and boil the oceans, carrying an overwhelming force aiming at Shen Xuan’s chest!
The fire light illuminated Shen Xuan’s calm eyes and also lit up Li Ruyi’s figure, tense in an instant.
A full-force strike of Golden Core Perfection!
Lifebound Flying Sword’s Fiery Flame Divine Power!
True Master Ming Jing sighed softly.
True Master Profound Ice was a prodigy of Song Country and a rare talent in the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Unfortunately, in order to suppress the matter of the past, the Sect Leader Senior Brother struck in anger, without leaving any room.
This True Master Profound Ice was doomed to fall in the Danxia Sect!
