Everyone looked at Chu Huaian, puzzled, and very curious about where his confidence came from.
The next moment, everyone's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Chu Huaian took out a Sect Master Seal from his storage ring, with the words 'Xuantian' carved on it.
"Xuantian Sect Master Seal!" The Elder of Luoyun Sect's eyes were about to pop out.
This was a treasure that protected the sect, containing the power of successive Sect Masters. Unless under special circumstances, the Sect Master Seal would not casually appear before the eyes of the world.
It represented the entire sect's destiny, and once damaged, it would affect the sect's rise and fall.
Although Xuantian Sect now only had Chu Huaian left, and could not unleash the true power of the Sect Master Seal, it could still block the Suppress Art.
Besides that, Chu Huaian also took out an ancient longbow and dozens of talismans.
"Immortal Weapon, Sky-Shaking Bow!" Someone recognized the longbow and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Xuantian Sect's two protective treasures are actually both on Chu Huaian. No wonder he's so fearless."
As soon as these two weapons appeared, everyone gasped. Those Elders who wanted to reap the benefits of others' struggles all quieted down, not daring to harbor any improper thoughts anymore.
The Elder of Luoyun Sect was extremely decisive, not even bothering with the Suppress Art, and turned to flee.
Chu Huaian seemed to have anticipated his move, pulling the Sky-Shaking Bow with both hands, turning lightning into arrows.
Whoosh—
As the arrow shot out, the wind and clouds changed color, and lightning flashed in the clouds above.
The arrow flashed past, and then everyone saw the Elder of Luoyun Sect's body explode, turning into a sky full of blood mist scattering in all directions.
Chu Huaian suddenly turned to look at the last person. The latter's soul nearly left his body, and he burned his origin again, breaking free from the spiritual sword, fleeing desperately into the distance.
Chu Huaian still wanted to pull the Sky-Shaking Bow, but his spiritual power was too severely depleted to pull this Immortal Weapon. He could only helplessly throw out all the talismans.
Dozens of talismans capable of instantly killing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator exploded, and the scorching heatwave swept over everything around.
Everyone instinctively raised their hands to block. When they opened their eyes, that Elder had been engulfed by the fire, leaving no bones behind.
To kill a Golden Core Stage cultivator, dozens of Blast Talismans were expended. If Zhao Shijie and the others were present, they would probably be heartbroken to the point of difficulty breathing.
One Blast Talisman sold for fifty contribution points in the mall. More than eighty of them amounted to several thousand contribution points, but only Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators could exchange for them.
What Chu Huaian wanted was this effect. Whether it was fighting seven Golden Core Stage cultivators alone earlier, or exposing two Immortal Weapons later, the purpose was to deter everyone present.
If it weren't for the appearance of the Lightning Pool, Chu Huaian wouldn't have wanted to expose himself so early, but since things had come to this, he could only use this method to make these people wary of him.
The effect was very obvious. The remaining people had no intention of making a move, just staring at Chu Huaian with complex eyes.
Killing seven Golden Core Stage cultivators as a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator—this achievement was enough to shock the entire Jizhou.
Chu Huaian's eyes coldly swept over everyone. He put the scroll and the two Immortal Weapons into his storage ring, intending to leave this place.
Just as he turned around, dozens of rainbow lights appeared on the horizon, landing around the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
These people glanced at the battlefield, then focused their gaze on Chu Huaian.
"Xuantian Sect remnant!" An old man's eyes widened in fury, making a move to kill Chu Huaian, but was stopped by a middle-aged man beside him.
"Don't be impulsive, he won't get away today!"
"Falling Cloud Sect, Phoenix Cloud Valley, Skyblade Gate, Sky Eagle Sect, Moon Shadow Sect..."
Chu Huaian silently counted in his mind. A total of eleven sects had arrived, all Golden Core Stage cultivators. Among them, the Grand Elder of Falling Cloud Sect had the highest cultivation, being at the late Golden Core Stage, while most of the others were at the middle Golden Core Stage.
Such a lineup to deal with a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, no one would believe it if it were spoken aloud, yet the truth was precisely this.
"Everyone, long time no see." Chu Huaian's lips curved into a slight smile, but his eyes flickered with intense killing intent.
"Chu Huaian, you are clear about the ins and outs of Xuantian Sect's destruction three years ago. Why must you dwell on the past? If you are willing to let go, my Falling Cloud Sect will let bygones be bygones and accept you as a direct disciple. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Huaian sneered, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "What a 'let go'! Six thousand one hundred and thirty-eight lives of Xuantian Sect were all slaughtered by you. You tell me to let go?"
Someone snorted coldly, pointing at Chu Huaian and cursing, "Your Xuantian Sect deserved it!"
"First, you, Chu Huaian, were ruthless and cut off the hopes of many sects. Then, Xuantian Sect colluded with the Demonic Cult, committing monstrous slaughter, refining a country with millions of people. Our act of destroying your sect was simply going with the flow!"
"Going with the flow?" Chu Huaian raised an eyebrow, sweeping his gaze over the group one by one, revealing a disdainful expression: "Those geniuses who died by my hand, weren't they also trying to kill me to gain fame? Am I in the wrong for killing them in retaliation?"
"You keep saying Xuantian Sect colluded with the Demonic Cult, but can you produce any evidence? In the end, aren't you just coveting Xuantian Sect's cultivation resources, acting like hypocrites? It's utterly ridiculous!"
Chu Huaian's words made many people's faces turn pale.
The incident three years ago simply couldn't withstand scrutiny; there were too many suspicious points. But self-interest made them overlook this, just as Chu Huaian said, it was more about seizing Xuantian Sect's cultivation resources.
The Grand Elder of Falling Cloud Sect stepped forward at this moment and spoke indifferently: "I can tell you clearly, this matter is ironclad. As for the specific details, it's not convenient for me to disclose. You will naturally know when your cultivation reaches a certain level in the future."
"Playing games." Chu Huaian sneered, not wanting to waste any more words with this group of people, and immediately said, "If you want to fight, then fight quickly. Don't talk so much nonsense!"
"Then there's nothing more to talk about. Since you, Chu Huaian, are seeking death, we shall grant your wish!"
In an instant, more than a dozen people shot into the sky, preparing to surround and kill Chu Huaian.
Chu Huaian quickly pulled out the Sky-Shaking Bow and the Sect Master Seal from his storage ring.
Just as the two sides were about to erupt into a major battle, a figure suddenly appeared in the center, sending both sides flying back.
"Master!"
"Greetings, Sect Master Senior Brother."
Seeing the newcomer, Zhou Qianqian and Zhong Li's faces lit up with joy, and they quickly ran over.
The person who arrived was none other than the Sect Master of Star Sect, Feng Qingyang, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
"We greet Sect Master Feng." Everyone present cupped their hands and said respectfully.
"Everyone, please give me, Feng, some face. How about we let this matter go?" Feng Qingyang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at everyone indifferently.
"This..." Everyone showed hesitation, not expecting Feng Qingyang to interfere in this matter, which made them extremely unwilling.
"What? You won't even give me, Feng, face?" Feng Qingyang spoke again, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
"We wouldn't dare." Everyone bowed again.
"That's right, isn't it? It's much less interesting to constantly fight. Let's all sit down and talk things over properly." Feng Qingyang dispelled his oppressive aura, revealing a brilliant smile.
The Grand Elder of Falling Cloud Sect saw that Feng Qingyang intended to protect Chu Huaian. After much deliberation, he still decided to speak:
"Sect Master Feng, Chu Huaian killed an Elder of my sect. If I return empty-handed, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to our Sect Master. Could you hand him over to me?"
"An explanation? Here it is."
Feng Qingyang said, then casually grabbed, and a small lock of hair appeared in his hand, "Here, the explanation you wanted."
The Grand Elder of Falling Cloud Sect's mouth twitched slightly. He did not take it, and retreated.
"Is there anyone else who wants an explanation?" Feng Qingyang raised his eyelids and looked at the others.
The scene was momentarily silent; no one dared to speak.
Chu Huaian subconsciously touched his hair, filled with curiosity.
It was rumored that Feng Qingyang had an eccentric personality and unconventional thoughts. Now that he saw him, it was indeed true. But why would he come forward to protect him?
Chu Huaian instantly thought of a possibility: the other party was likely here for Zhao Shijie.
"How about throwing Zhao Shijie to Star Sect to play?"
