Chapter 2287: Chapter 2291: Wanting to Devour
"It’s really... too exciting!"
Sang Zhenye’s heart, despite his mental state, was experiencing massive waves of emotion, with a trace of fanaticism in his eyes.
Jiang Chen’s face lit up with joy as he looked at the Perfect Dao Seed in the sky, feeling heartfelt happiness for Zhang Sanfeng and the other person for arriving in time.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically as he quickly turned to look in a certain direction. Upon clearly seeing the people there, his face changed dramatically.
Where Jiang Chen’s gaze landed was the location of Chen Zhenhua, Tang Lin, and Lin Wenbo. At this moment, an obscure fluctuation was disappearing from their bodies, a fluctuation that even Sang Zhenye had not detected but was noticed by Jiang Chen.
Because just now, when Chen Zhenhua and the other two had their power fluctuate due to the appearance of the Perfect Dao Seed, Jiang Chen’s body had an unusual fluctuation of spiritual power. This anomaly was exactly the reaction he had when encountering the Soul Devouring Group on Yuan Star!
Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Sect has fallen entirely under the control of that bastard Eight-Headed?
A hint of coldness appeared deep in Jiang Chen’s eyes, but his expression quickly changed.
No, that’s not right!
It should be Zhang Yubo who has taken control of the Heavenly Sword Sect!
If it were Eight-Headed, there’s no way he would only control the three leaders of the Heavenly Sword Sect and let Elder Qin Chaolan and San Feng Predecessor go!
What does he intend to do?
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows tightly, a solemn look appearing in his eyes.
"A Perfect Dao Seed, how wonderful would it be if I could also condense a Perfect Dao Seed!"
"Indeed, it’s a pity that the Great Dao Wheel we’ve condensed is flawed, and it’s incredibly difficult to repair. In this lifetime, we probably have no hope of achieving the Perfect Dao Seed!"
Voices of lamentation came from all around.
Jiang Chen’s heart trembled fiercely as he looked up, fixing his eyes on the Perfect Dao Seed above Zhang Sanfeng and the other person.
At this moment, the Yin Yang Fish had completely transformed into a Dao Seed, and the multicolored rays cast by the eight-colored auspicious clouds in the sky penetrated the black and white intertwined Dao Seed, pouring into Zhang Sanfeng’s body.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Zhang Daoling’s body shook as he blocked the multicolored beams rushing towards him and directed them to Zhang Sanfeng, fully channeling the power of the Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body into Zhang Sanfeng.
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng was still in the state of absorption, only feeling more abundant energy without knowing what had happened.
"What is he doing?"
"Is this... did he sacrifice himself to fulfill Elder Zhang?"
"This Zhang Predecessor... is just too righteous, isn’t he?"
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at Zhang Daoling in surprise, with astonished expressions in their eyes.
Jiang Chen was also puzzled for a moment, but then a flash of insight hit him, and he suddenly understood why Zhang Daoling was doing this, a complex look appearing in his eyes, layered with sorrow.
It seems Zhang Predecessor probably knew this all along, but he didn’t tell San Feng Predecessor, otherwise, San Feng Predecessor would never attempt to pass the tribulation in this way!
After redirecting the power of the Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body to Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Daoling’s figure suddenly shot upwards to balance with the Perfect Dao Seed.
Looking at the Perfect Dao Seed with lingering gaze, Zhang Daoling smiled slightly, turned his back to the Dao Seed, and looked in a certain direction: "Which predecessor has come to watch the ceremony? Why not show yourself?"
"What?"
"Someone is hiding in the shadows!?"
Everyone’s hearts shivered, quickly turning to look in the direction Zhang Daoling was gazing.
That direction was the back mountain of Heavenly Sword Mountain, where the elders of Heavenly Sword Sect resided.
Sang Zhenye’s expression changed, and his Divine Sense spread rapidly in the direction Zhang Daoling was looking, then his pupils contracted, followed by a puzzled look.
There indeed was a presence there, but it was only the aura of a mid-stage Unity Realm cultivator.
Turning to glance at Zhang Daoling, Sang Zhenye was filled with doubts. Just a mid-stage Unity Realm cultivator, would he truly make this Supreme Unity Realm expert so alert?
Chen Zhenhua’s eyebrows twitched slightly; he forced a smile and said: "Brother Zhang Ling, did you sense wrongly? That’s the residence of our sect’s elders, and currently, only Elder Huang, who is in seclusion, is there; all other elders are here."
"Sir, you should know that when breaking through the Unity Realm Stage, the Primordial Spirit Condensation occurs, and at that moment, the perception of the Primordial Spirit is at its clearest."
Zhang Daoling ignored Chen Zhenhua, staring dead at the direction of the rear mountain, speaking sternly: "And you, at that moment, revealed an unusual energy fluctuation. That energy is definitely not a technique practiced by a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Do you still wish to continue hiding?"
"Haha... Didn’t expect to be discovered!"
A somewhat gloomy laugh sounded, as a dark silhouette leaped out from the direction of the rear mountain.
"Wu Qian!?"
Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted, and he exclaimed.
"Wu Qian, the old ancestor of the Wu Family from Mingyuan City, greets everyone!"
Flying over to the crowd, Wu Qian cupped his fists and made a circle of salute.
"What have you done to Elder Huang?"
Qin Chaolan’s face changed, his voice turning cold. After Wu Qian left, there was no trace of any presence in the rear mountain anymore, as if Elder Huang, who was in deep seclusion there, had disappeared into thin air.
"Elder Huang? Do you mean that Elder Huang who was in seclusion?"
A cruel smile appeared on Wu Qian’s face: "Elder Huang’s power is in my body, and as for him, he probably went to reminisce with people from Wuyou Island and Lingtian Pavilion!"
"The power is in his body?"
"Wuyou Island, Lingtian Pavilion?!"
"Is he the one who destroyed Wuyou Island and Lingtian Pavilion?"
"It’s the Wu Family that wiped out those two great forces!"
Everyone’s faces changed drastically, looking at Wu Qian with horror.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
A series of powerful auras emerged, as the Heavenly Sword Sect’s elders took to the sky, surrounding Wu Qian.
"Jiang Chen, take care of Yu Yan!"
Qin Chaolan softly instructed, his figure moved, leaping to face Wu Qian, locking onto him tightly with his aura.
Currently, the Heavenly Sword Sect was left with him as the only Unity Realm elder; he had to step forward to block Wu Qian, depending on Sang Zhenye...
Qin Chaolan glanced at Sang Zhenye beside Jiang Chen and felt slightly reassured.
Although they did not belong to the same force, he believed that if it came to a fight, Sang Zhenye would definitely help, but of course, he knew that was under the premise of Jiang Chen’s safety. Sang Zhenye would never act without regard for Jiang Chen’s safety.
"Hoho! No rush, let’s wait until Zhang Sanfeng completes the Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body!"
Wu Qian chuckled lightly, teasingly: "Surely you don’t want our actions to disrupt him, do you?"
"You intend to devour Elder Zhang’s Dao Seed?!"
Qin Chaolan’s expression changed, speaking in a severe tone.
"Haha!"
Wu Qian laughed softly, without responding, looking unperturbed at Zhang Sanfeng in the distance, receiving the Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body, as if the surrounding Heavenly Sword Sect elders did not exist at all.
