Moments earlier, the disciples swarmed out after the bell of the Ninth Peak tolled loudly.
They carried various spiritual weapons and rushed towards the location of the Main Peak, engaging in battle with the elders and disciples of the Main Peak.
The disciples of the Ninth Peak were high in spirit and fearless of life and death.
In contrast, the elders and disciples of the Main Peak were bewildered, each of them stunned like petrified chickens.
By the time they regained their senses and prepared to resist, they were knocked unconscious.
Before passing out, an elder of the Main Peak vaguely heard the leading Lu Yang shout:
“Grab your weapons and save Lu Lin by overturning the main peak!”
“Ooh——!”
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Ninth Peak surged forward with even more vigor!
F*ck, who is Lu Lin?I do not know!
That elder of the Main Peak passed out with his eyes wide open.
Ninth Peak’s Great Elder Lu Yang, along with a group of Ninth Peak elders, were ‘battling fiercely’ against the elders of the Main Peak.
Although it was called a fierce battle, it was actually just taking advantage of their unpreparedness and the chaos to launch surprise attacks.
Liu Wen and Liu Wu, the two brothers who were Jiang Chen’s followers, led the other disciples in knocking out any Main Peak disciple they encountered.
Their movements became more and more practiced and smooth as flowing water.
Thus, an internal struggle within the sect unfolded.
By the time the elders and disciples of the Main Peak came to their senses and prepared to resist with full force, they found that most of their own people had already been knocked unconscious.
Lu Yang took the lead and charged into the Sect Master’s hall.
At this moment, the Sect Master’s hall had been torn apart, looking like ruins.
Gu Changqing sat dumbfounded on the Sect Master’s throne, while Jiang Chen, looking up at Xiao Hongyi in the sky, was full of question marks.
Affected by the previous attack, Li Fadu and the others from the Hall of Enforcement lay on the side with weak breath while vomiting blood.
They saw Gu Changqing’s face as dark as charcoal as if he was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Lu Yang intended to be tactful and explain the purpose of their visit first, but before he could speak…
“Save Lu Lin, overturn the Main Peak!!” Liu Wen and Liu Wu, the two brothers, raised their swords and shouted.
With these words, the disciples of the Ninth Peak, emboldened by Xiao Hongyi’s presence in the sky, surged forward once again.
They dared not lay hands on Gu Changqing, but they fought fiercely with the others in the hall.
In a corner, Lu Lin wept bitterly as he witnessed this scene.
He had not expected… He had not expected that he would receive so much attention even though he was a mere menial disciple!
Just being brought to the Sect Master’s hall for questioning had prompted all the elders and disciples of the Ninth Peak to come to his rescue!
At first, he thought Xiao Hongyi had come to save Jiang Chen.
But now he realized it was all for him! What merit did he have?
He felt so unworthy!
At this moment, those Ninth Peak disciples fighting for him were no longer just fellow sect members but his brothers!
Brothers who would follow him through life and death!
He stood up suddenly with a resolute gaze.
He quickly walked towards Liu Wen and Liu Wu, the nearest to him, his eyes brimming with gratitude as he said,
“Broth…”
“Get out of the way!”
Liu Wen threw him aside, landing him on a broken stone wall.
Lu Lin was just a lower four realm disciple and had already been shaken by Li Fadu’s vital energy, causing his blood to flow in reverse.
Now being thrown so forcefully, he almost passed out upon hitting the ground.
In a daze, he heard the phrase again:
“Save Lu Lin, overturn the Main Peak!!”
Looking towards the voice, he was moved again because the speaker was the Ninth Peak’s Great Elder, Lu Yang!
He struggled to his feet and staggered towards Lu Yang, still with tears in his eyes, “Great Elder…”
“This one got away, take this!”
A Ninth Peak disciple suddenly rushed out and knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
Lu Yang glanced at Lu Lin and blinked.
This person looked somewhat familiar… and the voice seemed to have been heard somewhere…
Before he could recall in detail.
“Ninth Peak must be punished!” Gu Changqing stood up, his voice like a vengeful ghost.
As he rose, a powerful Upper Fourth Realm aura burst forth from his body and spread all around.
Any Ninth Peak disciple who came into contact with it rolled their eyes back and instantly fell unconscious!
Lu Yang sensed trouble and quickly said, “Sect Master, please calm your anger. Since the day Ninth Peak was established, it has stood independent from the other peaks and handled its own affairs. Today, we must take Lu Lin back even if we have violated the sect rules!”
Hearing this, Gu Changqing glanced at Lu Lin, who lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious but still looking puzzled, and then his mouth twitched!
To the people of Ninth Peak, he was nothing.
First, Jiang Lianyue and the other two lunatics came to attack, and he had just captured these three lunatics when Xiao Hongyi destroyed his Sect Master’s hall!
Now, Lu Yang and all the disciples of the Ninth Peak were treating him like a fool and blatantly lying to his face!
He could no longer bear it, there was no need for patience!
Today, he would unleash a massacre!
The aura on Gu Changqing’s body continued to rise, dense and suffocating.
Seeing this, the people of Ninth Peak swallowed hard.
At this moment, they could only pin their hopes on Xiao Hongyi, hoping she could quickly break free from the Supreme Great Elder and come to their aid!
Lu Yang quickly glanced at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
Above, the Supreme Great Elder who had been blocking Xiao Hongyi had already disappeared, and that familiar figure in red was rapidly approaching!
Steady!
Lu Yang’s confidence surged!
Before burning the phoenix blood, Xiao Hongyi’s combat power was not as good as Gu Changqing’s.
But now, with the phoenix body activated, she could easily overpower him!
“Sect Master, why don’t we both take a step back? You hand over Lu Lin to us, and we will leave. How about that?” Lu Yang tried to negotiate.
Gu Changqing’s mouth twitched again.
Seeing him silent, Lu Yang added another sentence: “Or, shall we repair your Sect Master’s hall for you?”
Gu Changqing’s killing intent grew even stronger.
This made Lu Yang frown and he said, “Sect Master, although the other Peak Masters have not appeared, they must be paying attention to what’s happening here. If you are defeated by the Ninth Peak’s main force under everyone’s gaze, it will damage your dignity.”
“Dignity? You talk to me about dignity?”
Gu Changqing’s forehead veins bulged as he loudly retorted, “In front of your Ninth Peak, when has this Sect Master ever had any dignity?”
“Uh…”
Lu Yang was left speechless by the retort.
And just then, Xiao Hongyi descended from the sky.
Gu Changqing clenched his fists, his expression even darker.
Despite being extremely angry, despite being so enraged that he was about to lose his sanity, he indeed could not act as Lu Yang had said.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xiao Hongyi landed and walked towards Jiang Chen.
She retracted her murderous aura and the phoenix fire.
With tears in her eyes, she walked, then quickened her pace, and finally ran up and threw herself into Jiang Chen’s arms.
Clinging tightly to Jiang Chen, her shoulders trembled non-stop. It took her a long time to finally choke out,
“Jiang Chen, I’ve missed you…”
“Master, this is too sudden,” Jiang Chen was also close to tears.
Another one has gone mad… and it’s his beautiful master….
What is he supposed to do now?
In this life, he still wanted to take Xiao Hongyi’s physical body and seal it within an object for a hundred years to avoid a fatal end!
But now…
It seems unnecessary?
Has he already accomplished most of his goals for this life?
After all, according to his deduction, those driven mad would develop a strong aversion to Lin Feng, which could also prevent the fatal end, right?
The only problem is that Xiao Hongyi has burned phoenix blood and will completely lose her sanity.
But he has Phoenix Essence Blood! (TLN: System’s reward in chapter 97)
As long as he integrates it with Xiao Hongyi, not only can he prevent this, but he can also turn her into a true phoenix body!
From then on, she will no longer suffer from the phoenix blood’s devouring effect!
There’s no need to worry about her madness for now. It can wait.
Having experienced nine cycles of reincarnation, he knows of many heaven-defying items that can cure madness, and he can fully restore Xiao Hongyi before ascending!
Of course, this is under the premise that he must confirm that after his death, Xiao Hongyi will no longer harbor any affection for Lin Feng.
After all, in the original story, it was a hundred years after his death that Lin Feng, unable to ascend, killed people to prove his Dao.
This incident has made Jiang Chen even more certain that all this is related to the system!
After all, he had just received the ‘Phoenix Essence Blood’, and right on its heels, Xiao Hongyi went mad and in dire need of it!
This coincidence is just too much!
But even so, he would like to say one thing.
This time, you did a great job, system!
“Master, I have the phoenix…” Jiang Chen hurriedly spoke up.
“Wait a moment,” Xiao Hongyi interrupted.
Stepping away from Jiang Chen’s embrace, she once again adopted an indifferent demeanor, looking straight at Gu Changqing and said, “Are you ready to die?”
The clear murderous intent made Gu Changqing’s heart chill as she spoke these words.
He looked up, at this moment, the eleven Supreme Elders were still busy saving their sect.
The strongest Supreme Great Elder was also nowhere to be found.
He glanced at the phoenix fire on Xiao Hongyi’s body, which had not subsided and seemed to be able to last for quite some time.
“Forget it,”
Gu Changqing sighed, “Junior Sister, you brought this upon yourself. At this moment, I can only ask the Old Ancestor to leave his coffin and let the Old Ancestor pass judgment! You have tarnished the reputation of the Old Ancestor as a ‘paragon of righteousness’!”
“Boom!!”
As this sound fell, the entire main peak shook violently, and in an instant, the mountains roared.
An elder with white eyebrows emerged from the bottom of the peak.
With his physical body, he broke through layers of mountains and directly created a human-shaped hole hundreds of zhang high within the main peak.
Then, to the astonishment of the onlookers, he burst forth from the ground, bringing with him a sky full of debris!
The elder with white eyebrows stood in mid-air while holding a coffin in his right hand.
He slammed the jade coffin in front of Gu Changqing, raging, “Today, I will overturn the main peak!!”
Gu Changqing was instantly dumbfounded.
Jiang Chen was also shocked.
Though skinny and skeletal, the elder with white eyebrows had a voice like thunder that resonated for several li.
Despite being shrouded in the aura of death, his nearly dried-up old eyes contained a burning rage mixed with intense feelings of helplessness, bitterness, and resignation!
All of this reminded Jiang Chen of his former self.
He was absolutely certain.
This old man wanted to defy the heavens!
