Yue Jang and Wang Chen were locked in a fierce battle, their swords clashing and sparks flying as they fought. Sweat beaded on Yue Jang's forehead as he strained to block Wang Chen's attacks, his muscles burning with the effort. Despite his best efforts, Yue Jang could not seem to gain the upper hand. Wang Chen was too fast, too skilled, and too determined to be beaten.
As they circled each other, Yue Jang muttered under his breath in frustration. "Damn it, I can't win against Wang Chen like this," he said, his voice low and gritty with determination.
"Yideng, help me defeat this guy. One shot is enough for him," Yue Jang communicated with Yideng telepathically.
"I suspected something was off about him, but you underestimated him, and now you're paying the price," Yideng said, his expression grave.
"I will help you once," Yideng agreed to aid Yue Jang.
Yideng quickly prepared for his attack, focusing his energy to create a soul-shaped spear that he launched towards Wang Chen. The spear was a deadly weapon, capable of piercing through even the toughest defenses. As it hurtled towards Wang Chen, Yue Jang could feel the tension in the air, knowing that the outcome of the battle was about to be decided.
Yideng's soul-shaped spear hurtled through the air towards Wang Chen with tremendous force. However, just as it was about to strike, Wang Chen stood there, unfazed and unflinching. A sly smile appeared on his face, as if he had been expecting this attack all along.
The spear collided with Wang Chen, and a blinding light erupted from the impact. The intensity of the light was so great that it forced everyone who was present to shield their eyes. The ground beneath them shook with the force of the collision, and the air was filled with the sound of a deafening explosion.
For a few moments, the battlefield was shrouded in a thick cloud of dust and debris. The combatants could barely see each other, and the air was filled with the acrid scent of smoke and burnt earth.
As the dust began to settle, the combatants and spectators alike held their breath in anticipation, waiting to see what had happened. Slowly, the cloud began to clear, revealing the aftermath of the battle. Everyone's eyes widened in shock and amazement at the sight before them.
As the dust cleared, the onlookers noticed that the battlefield was now crowded with people. But Wang Chen was standing tall and proud, flanked by his three companions. Su Zhong looked tired and a little beaten up, but he was still standing strong, while Yue Se's face was completely pale and blood was seeping from a deep cut on his forehead.
The last person standing with them was an old man with a stern expression. He had blocked Yideng's attack earlier, He had come to announce the result of the battle, but now he seemed intent on something else entirely, "It seems that the Red Lotus sect has fallen into a huge conspiracy."
Then the old man looked at Yue Jang's Soul Binding Ring and said, "An ancient soul, I see."
Yue Jang's heart skipped a beat as he realized the old man knew about the ancient soul in his ring but he didn't care about it at the moment. "Grandfather," he shouted out loud upon seeing Yue Se face.
Yue Se, who was standing beside Wang Chen, turned to see his grandson and a look of relief crossed his face. "Yue Jang," he said, his voice weak.
This condition of Yue Se was because of Wang Chen. How did he do it ?
Wang Chen had discovered the dark secrets of the Yue clan while in the secret realm. He had used the Celestial Thief Technique to absorb the memories of Yue Mingluan, which led him to uncover many past events involving Yue Jang, Yue Se, and their nefarious deeds.
After Wang Chen returned to the sect, he immediately set his plan in motion. He started spreading the rumor that the sect leader had been poisoned by the Great Elder, which quickly caused chaos and panic within the sect. Yue Se, the Great Elder, was also caught off guard by this sudden revelation and tried to destroy any evidence that might incriminate him.
However, Wang Chen had already obtained the evidence he needed from Yue Mingluan's memories and circulated it throughout the sect. This provided undeniable proof that Yue Se was indeed the culprit behind the poisoning.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Zhong, the second elder, took charge and suppressed Yue Se, completely removing him from power. Meanwhile, Yue Jang, still recovering from his injuries, remained unaware of the chaos that was happening outside.
"Both Yue Jang and Yue Se will be executed for betraying the sect." Su Zhong announced. The words echoed in the silent room, and both Yue Jang and Yue Se could only click their tongues in hatred. They knew that this was the inevitable result of their actions, and now they had to face the consequences of their betrayal.
Yue Jang's mind was in turmoil as he thought about how he ended up in this situation. He knew that he had made some bad decisions in the past, but he never imagined that they would lead to this. He couldn't help but feel regret and sorrow as he looked at his grandfather, who had always been his role model. but he refused to take the blame. He was determined to find a way out of this situation, no matter what it takes.
"Yideng, let's escape from here," Yue Jang telepathically communicated with Yideng.
Yideng agreed and launched another attack towards the old man. But before the attack could land, Yideng took over Yue Jang's body and hurriedly tried to escape. They flew through the air at a fast speed, trying to leave the scene as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile the old man deflected the attack. The old man tried to stop them, but it was too late. Then he saw Wang Chen approaching him.
"You are different, I can't sense your Cultivation base but I can tell from the energy that you are at Core Formation Realm, why did you hide it ?"
"Now isn't the time to talk about those things. I have a deal where you will benefit the most if you agree to it, old man," Wang Chen said confidently.
The old man looked at Wang Chen skeptically, wondering what kind of deal he could offer that would be worth his time. He had been around for a long time, and had seen many people come and go, each one claiming to have something that would benefit him. But he decided to hear Wang Chen out, curious about what he had to say." What deal are you talking about?"
"Let's follow Yue Jang you will know soon." Wang Chen said.
The old man looked at Wang Chen with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. However, after a moment of contemplation, he nodded in agreement. "Fine, let's follow him," he said begrudgingly.
Wang Chen didn't respond, but simply gestured for the old man to lead the way. The two of them took to the air and began flying in the direction where Yue Jang had fled.
As they flew towards Yue Jang's direction, Wang Chen observed the old man closely. He noticed that the old man had a calm and collected demeanor, despite the chaos that had just occurred. He wondered if the old man had a hidden motive for agreeing to follow Yue Jang, or if he was simply curious.
…
Yideng, who was controlling Yue Jang's body, suddenly sensed two auras following them. Worried that they would catch up, he muttered to himself about what to do. Suddenly, he noticed a black miasma area. This type of miasma is much more dangerous than red miasma, and Yideng was faced with a difficult decision on whether to risk flying through it or to risk being caught by their pursuers.
"If I go there they will not follow me." He flew towards the black miasma area, hoping to lose their pursuers in its dangerous and deadly environment. As they entered the area, Yideng felt the overwhelming power of the miasma, which could easily kill someone without the proper protection or cultivation level. He urged Yue Jang's body to move faster, hoping they could escape before the miasma took its toll on them.
The old man stopped and asked Wang Chen, "Isn't this too dangerous for you? Should I leave you here?"
But Wang Chen confidently replied, "No problem, you should continue to follow them." He then created a protective layer around his body to shield himself from any potential harm.
The old man looked at Wang Chen skeptically before nodding and continuing to follow Yue Jang and Yideng. As they flew, the old man couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that the path they were taking was dangerous, and he didn't want to be responsible for any harm that might come to Wang Chen.
