Xuanxia

Chapter 544 Hunting
In the deep cave, there was a loud roar, as if thunder had exploded. Huge rocks poured down along with rolling dust. For a moment, the smoke and dust blocked the view.

Amid the earth-shaking sound of collapse, Jiang Baichuan's figure shuttled between the boulders at an incredible speed, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

The sword intent was fluctuating around him. Although no sword light could be seen, one could feel the sharp sword energy surging in the cave. The huge rocks were like precisely cut tofu, instantly turning into countless tiny pieces and flying everywhere.

Jiang Baichuan looked at Fu Qingzhou, who was only a few steps away, but his face was as gloomy as water.

People began to fall from the torn top of the cave.

Accompanied by low shouts, figures dropped from the sky and jumped into the cave.

The man in the lead arrived with his sword before him, and he rushed over with a sword that was as powerful as wind and thunder, like a meteor across the dark night sky, dazzling and sharp. Even Jiang Baichuan did not dare to face its light directly.

He had to avoid the sharp edge and float back.

But this retreat was too late.

In an instant, battle flags all around the cave fell down suddenly, inserted into the ground quietly and silently, surrounding Jiang Baichuan.

At the same time, several rays of light suddenly lit up, like a shield, tightly protecting Fu Qingzhou, Tang Jiao, Qiu Chan, Tang Min, and Wu Yan.

The smoke and dust gradually settled, and figures appeared one after another. The small cave suddenly became extremely crowded.

Li Jingzhe stood in front of Fu Qingzhou with his sword drawn, a sneer on his face.

"Fu Qingzhou."

He turned his head slightly and sneered, "I have saved your life again."

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Master Li."

He glanced around, looked at the collapsed cave ceiling, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people came to Mingjian Pavilion.

Li Jingzhe didn't know what level of Dongtian he was at, but judging from the past few encounters, even if he couldn't beat Jiang Baichuan, he wouldn't be too far behind.

Besides him, there are many others.

A group of secret envoys from Mingjian Pavilion planted flags around Jiang Baichuan. More secret envoys held long swords and formed circles in an orderly manner, surrounding Jiang Baichuan in three layers.

A long passage was dug out at the top of the cave, with moonlight pouring down from the top, and long ropes were thrown down from above along the moonlight.

Many people who looked like scholars hung themselves on the ropes with one hand, looking down from above, like fruits growing on vines.

Each of them held a string of copper coins in their hands. Those copper coins were as smooth as mirrors, refracting the moonlight cast from the top of the cave. The light collided, reflected, and projected, and finally fell on Fu Qingzhou and the other four people, faintly forming some kind of protective shield.

Tang Jiao held Fu Qingzhou's hand tightly, her eyes full of joy.

Qiu Chan also breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the remaining tears from her face in an attempt to hide it.

Tang Min shook his head and laughed, looking at Fu Qingzhou's back with a little more complexity in his eyes. He probably really believed that this kid had a strong enough backer behind him.

As for Wu Yan...

He was still trying to keep his intestines from spilling out.

"Jiang Baichuan, leader Jiang."

A soft voice sounded in the cave.

Ning Wuwang smiled and slowly came to Li Jingzhe's side: "Why is it you?"

Fu Qingzhou looked at the man's profile - he had never seen Ning Wuwang before, but he guessed this man's identity at a glance.

Someone from the Mingjian Pavilion who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Jingzhe, who looks somewhat like Ning Wushu and has a temperament somewhat similar to Ning Baimei...it can't be anyone else.

What a big battle...

Zhao Yuan is going too far, calling all the people from Mingjian Pavilion?
With all the fuss going on, did he come himself?
Fu Qingzhou looked around but didn't see Zhao Yuan.

At this time, Jiang Baichuan finally spoke slowly.

“…Everyone.”

He said softly: "Perhaps, the truth is not what you see."

Li Jingzhe sneered again: "I saw with my own eyes that you wanted to attack these people. Are you saying that I am blind?" "..."

Jiang Baichuan sighed softly.

"What a pity, Alliance Leader Jiang." Ning Wuwang also sighed, "We once talked by candlelight at the Sword Master Academy, and we also drank and talked about the world's situation, but now, you have embarked on a wrong path."

Jiang Baichuan turned around and looked at him deeply.

"Master Ning."

He said in a deep voice: "And Lord Li...would you consider sorting out the cause and effect first before calling for fighting and killing?"

"Haha." Li Jingzhe asked with a fake smile, "Master Jiang, have you ever thought about why we, the great Mingjian Pavilion, came all the way here to save these young people?"

Hearing this, Jiang Baichuan's pupils shrank.

But soon, he reacted.

"I see……"

He shook his head and said, "In that case, it is not the fault of war."

As he spoke, his gaze once again swept over Li Jingzhe, Ning Wuwang, the secret envoys, and the group of scholars at the top of the cave.

"That's all."

Jiang Baichuan said leisurely: "Now that things have come to this, if I insist on fighting to the death, it would make me look..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, put his two fingers together to form a sword, and slashed it towards his neck!

He wants to commit suicide?!
Jiang Baichuan's movements were not fast, and everyone could see clearly what he was doing. His look and expression were extremely calm and peaceful. Doing this self-destructive act was as natural as drinking water.

But at this moment, Fu Qingzhou suddenly sneered.

"You are not Jiang Baichuan!"

He said coldly: "You are Ah Cheng - do you want to use your own death to help Jiang Baichuan escape?"

As soon as these words came out, before Jiang Baichuan could say anything else, Li Jingzhe opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Deal with him!"

In an instant, all the secret agents and scholars took action at the same time, some were making hand gestures, some were chanting spells, some were taking positions, some were planting flags. In less than a breath, several more circles of flags were planted around "Jiang Baichuan".

Ning Wuwang also had a slightly solemn expression on his face, and his hands made changing finger gestures to coordinate with the surrounding flag formations.

There were no strange visions, no sound, light or electrical effects, but the air around Jiang Baichuan was clearly denser countless times. The sword finger that was swinging towards his neck stopped in mid-air and did not move again.

His expression did not change much, he just looked at Fu Qingzhou calmly.

"I'm not Acheng." he said.

Fu Qingzhou still felt some pain in his chest. With the help of Tang Jiao and Qiu Chan, he took two steps forward and sneered, "Really? You probably changed your identities when Mingjian Pavilion opened up the cave and raised the dust? When Jiang Baichuan saw that the situation was not right, he ran away?"

As he spoke, he raised the German sword in his hand.

"Before, he never took his eyes off the sword—but now, you didn't even look at it."

No one in the field paid much attention to the De sword just now. At this time, Li Jingzhe and Ning Wuwang realized that Fu Qingzhou was actually holding the De sword!

Although they didn't say anything, both of their pupils shrank.

"Jiang Baichuan" remained calm: "Based on this reason, you say I am not Jiang Baichuan?"

"Of course it's more than that."

Fu Qingzhou said: "Jiang Baichuan's killing intent was so strong, but he was forced back by Lord Li's sword? This doesn't make sense, unless you don't have the same strong killing intent and sword intent as Jiang Baichuan."

As he said this, he smiled: "But it doesn't matter. No matter how well you disguise yourself, as long as you enter the Dark Prison of Mingjian Pavilion, even if you are at the fourth or fifth realm of the Cave Heaven, you will be exposed sooner or later - right, Lord Li?"

Li Jingzhe snorted and did not comment.

"Whether you are Jiang Baichuan or Ah Cheng, you have so many secrets, you can't just die - the most important thing is, if you die now, it will attract everyone's attention, and the real Jiang Alliance Leader will run away, what should we do?"

As if to confirm his words, Yue Heng's faint shouting suddenly came from above the cave!
"Master Li! Master Ning! Someone has escaped! Hurry! I can still track him down now! Hurry!"
