Chapter 724: Chapter 724 Ji Changchun Appears!

"I never expected they would actually let me in!"

Xuan Jian was quite surprised, but he had no time for surprise, thankfully, he was extremely familiar with this great Formation.

The Xuanyun Sect’s Shadowless Array!

Each streak of light was actually Sword Qi condensed from the Spiritual Power within the Formation.

If his body were still intact, with his Nascent Soul Stage, he would naturally have nothing to fear.

But as Xuan Hong said, each streak of Sword Qi would strip away his Nascent Soul’s Spiritual Power, and once the Nascent Soul’s Spiritual Power was completely depleted, he would be dead!

"Xuan Hong’s scheming runs so deep, I truly underestimated him!"

Xuan Jian sighed and quickly flew towards the edge of the Formation, as the best way to save his life was to break out of the Formation!

But he didn’t expect to hit a solid barrier as soon as his Nascent Soul touched it!

"They actually... sealed the Formation!"

Xuan Jian was shocked and pale, first luring him into the Sect, then trapping him with a locked Formation, they intended to kill him!

Unable to escape the Formation, Xuan Jian could only continuously dodge the countless Shadowless Sword Qi within, fortunate to be so versed in it.

But soon.

He saw a familiar figure.

"Ji Changchun, it’s you!"

Ji Changchun was seen holding an Array Plate, ominously nestled within the mountain gate!

The mountain gate also had a Formation.

Even if Xuan Jian’s Nascent Soul broke through the Shadowless Array, wanting to reach and kill Ji Changchun would require time to break through the Formation within the mountain gate.

Without a doubt, Ji Changchun would flee during that time.

Even a weakened Nascent Soul like his was not something a Core Formation Stage Cultivator like Ji Changchun could withstand.

Clearly.

Ji Changchun showed himself because he saw Xuan Jian trapped by the Shadowless Array!

"Ancestor Xuanjian, I trust you are well?"

Ji Changchun’s smile did not reach his eyes.

"Were you ordered by Xuan Hong?"

Xuan Jian asked while dodging the Shadowless Sword Qi, not having a moment to look at Ji Changchun’s expression.

"The Ancestor has returned?"

Ji Changchun was slightly stunned; he had not been informed but had earlier taken the Mountain-Protecting Array Plate from Xuan Hong when he was sent back to the Sect!

It was meant as a precaution against Chu Zhongtian.

He had not expected to encounter Xuan Jian!

But upon seeing that Xuan Jian had only his Nascent Soul, he had an idea!

If the Xuanyun Sect had one more Nascent Soul, he would no longer call the shots!

Naturally, he wanted to kill Xuan Jian’s Nascent Soul right there, not realizing Xuan Hong had already returned!

"The Ancestor returned without any fuss, presumably to hide in his retreat... the fact that Xuan Jian has chased all the way here with his Nascent Soul indicates that the Ancestor’s condition is also very poor..."

His thoughts began to race.

As long as no Nascent Soul returned to the Xuanyun Sect, everything would be under his control, especially since he had quietly discovered Xuan Hong’s retreat many years ago!

"It seems that even the heavens are helping me! If I obtain Xuan Hong’s belongings, hehehe..."

Ji Changchun’s eyes flickered with greed as he stimulated the Array Plate again, bringing forth ten thousand strokes of Sword Qi out of thin air, attacking Xuan Jian!

"I didn’t expect you to know about the Ancestor’s return to the Sect," Ji Changchun declared loudly, justifying himself, "Indeed, the Ancestor said you betrayed the Sect and even injured him, thus he instructed me to wait here for you!"

He did not restrain his voice at all.

Because he wanted the other Core Formation Cultivators within the Sect to hear!

The voice, imbued with Spiritual Power, reverberated into the Sect!

In just a moment, numerous Core Formation Cultivators rushed over!

"Fellow Senior Brothers, Ancestor Xuanjian dared to attack Ancestor Xuan Hong, a heinous betrayal! Fortunately, the Array Plate is in my hands, but I’m not strong enough alone, I hope each Senior Brother can lend aid with Spirit Stones!"

Ji Changchun brazenly shifted the blame onto Xuan Jian and even rallied the others to bring out Spirit Stones.

The crowd was initially skeptical.

But then they considered that Ji Changchun was personally brought back by Xuan Hong, and Xuan Jian was merely a Nascent Soul, and they were quickly persuaded by Ji Changchun!

Xuan Jian might be an Elder of the Xuanyun Sect.

But at this moment, if they remained inactive, they would surely face jealousy!

Seeing the situation Xuan Jian was in, with the odds stacked against him, they dared to take a gamble!

Killing a Nascent Soul Stage traitor...

That would be a great achievement!

In an instant, they took out their own Spirit Stones and placed them next to Ji Changchun; some even went back to their own dwellings to bring out all their savings!

Ji Changchun sneered, looking at the countless Spirit Stones.

This was enough to kill Xuan Jian’s Nascent Soul!

"Fellow Senior Brothers, take cover first! If this Junior Brother dies later, you’ll have to flee for your own lives!"

His face was full of sacrificial bravery, eliciting expressions of gratitude from his Senior Brothers.

And this was Ji Changchun’s plan all along!

If he managed to annihilate Xuan Jian’s Nascent Soul, then he would use these Senior Brothers as his backup plan against Xuan Hong!

Afterwards, he would sweep clean the resources of the Xuanyun Sect, and in the vast Mortal Realm, there would surely be a place for him!
