Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Lu Chen in Pursuit, Heading to the Xuanyun Sect!

"Ancestor Xuanjian has returned? And what about... what happened to Ancestor Xuan Hong..."

Chu Zhongtian had no idea what had happened in the outside world.

Lu Chen had taken him flying out of the ore vein and then narrated the situation of the previous battle.

Looking at the severed body of the Ice-Strange Mother Serpent lying on the ground, he could hardly believe everything Lu Chen had told him.

Xuan Hong suppressing him was always known to him, but Chu Zhongtian had never dared to consider fighting back, at most he would’ve heeded Lu Chen’s advice and left the Xuanyun Sect.

And that was under the circumstance of Ancestor Xuanjian’s absence.

But now.

The turn of events was beyond his expectations.

Xuan Hong wanted to kill him, Ancestor Xuanjian was back...

And Lu Chen was even planning to attack the Xuanyun Sect!

"If you do not wish to go, you can stay here with Xiao Bai for a while to heal your injuries."

Lu Chen’s words brought Chu Zhongtian back to his senses, his face full of complex emotions. It took a long moment before he said, "Brother Lu Dao, it’s not that I’m unwilling to go, but if I do, I’m afraid I’ll drag you down! Ancestor Xuan Hong dared to lay his hands on Ancestor Xuanjian, he has committed a great taboo of the sect, but..."

"But what?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you afraid that I will become the Xuanyun Sect’s public enemy?"

Chu Zhongtian didn’t speak but nodded instead.

"No matter," said Lu Chen, waving his hand, "If we head to the Eastern Domain and Ancestor Xuanjian is willing, I will take him with me! Even if he doesn’t go, if we encounter people from Xuanyun Sect again..."

He paused for a moment before he continued, "I will not be polite!"

Feeling the killing intent emanating from Lu Chen’s eyes, Chu Zhongtian’s pupils shrunk suddenly.

This was something he had never seen in Lu Chen’s eyes before.

"So Brother Lu Dao..."

He vaguely understood something.

Lu Chen gave a faint smile and said, "Brother Chu, I will explain the reasons to you later. But I, Lu Chen... am clear about who owes and who is owed!"

Having said this, Lu Chen slowly floated up.

"You and Xiao Bai stay here and heal in peace. Once I have settled my affairs, I will come back to take you to the Eastern Domain!"

...

"Xuanjian, do you really not believe that I’d kill you?"

Seeing that Xuanjian was pursuing him, Xuan Hong knew full well what his intentions were, and couldn’t help but clench his teeth as he spoke.

"Kill me?"

Xuanjian scoffed disdainfully, "You’re already in a bind, how could you have the power to kill me?"

During the mere hours of flight, Xuan Hong’s body had already been half-frozen.

"Hmph, if I wanted to kill you, would I need to do it myself? You’re a Nascent Soul. If you come into contact with the Earth Fire, you will be utterly annihilated!"

Hearing this, Xuanjian’s brows twitched. He indeed hadn’t thought of this!

Even if the Ice-Strange Fire was Lu Chen’s, now distanced so far away, would it still heed Lu Chen’s commands?

Even though the Ice-Strange Fire had no intention of harming him, the problem was as Xuan Hong had said, coming into contact with it would surely mean death!

Xuan Hong laughed heartily and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Seeing Xuanjian still in pursuit, he abruptly turned and counterattacked!

"Xuan Hong, aren’t you afraid you’re running out of time?"

Xuanjian fled in a panic, flying towards the distance.

Xuan Hong, taking advantage of the moment, turned around and sped away in flight. Xuanjian was right; he was preoccupied with his own situation.

But if Xuanjian truly dared to fight to the death with him, then he would naturally be at a disadvantage.

In any case, the two former brothers, now at war with each other, couldn’t do anything to each other. Xuan Hong only wanted to hurry back to the Xuanyun Sect.

He had hoped to use Ji Changchun as a stumbling block, but with Xuanjian following him, his plan had fallen through.

At the same time.

Lu Chen was closely pursuing as well.

"Wen Tian, can you sense the location of the Ice-Strange Fire?"

"Master, continue in this direction for several hundred miles."

"Good!"

Lu Chen accelerated, striding through the air, turning into a streak of light, and finally disappearing from Chu Zhongtian’s line of sight!

But no matter how fast he flew, he was barely keeping up with Xuan Hong and Xuanjian. By the time Xuan Hong entered the Xuanyun Sect, Xuanjian arrived shortly afterward.

Looking at the familiar sect grounds, he paused for a moment, but still chased after.

The sect had a Mountain Protection Array, and after all the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had left, it was certainly controlled by the Core Formation stewards.

And the array was capable of harming his Nascent Soul body!

But if Xuan Hong were to escape, Lu Chen would probably not be able to find him!

Xuanjian sighed and flew into the sect.

However.

A streak of light suddenly appeared out of thin air, aimed straight at Xuanjian!

"Indeed, the array has been activated!"

Xuanjian’s face changed drastically as countless streaks of light shot toward him from all directions at almost the same moment!
