Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 209 Zhang Xiaofan, We Must Defeat You This Time

Xiao Yicai stood on the high platform, looking down at the nearly one thousand disciples below. As he was talking, he felt something coming...

With his hands behind his back and his head held high, he walked back and forth on the platform a few steps and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"A rare treasure has been born. The head of the sect has decided to select talented people and rush to the western swamp to slay demons and monsters, seize the rare treasure, and uphold justice!"

Having said this, Xiao Yicai looked at the nearly one thousand disciples below with a threatening gaze and said:

"During this trip to the Western Swamp, Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple will also send elite disciples to go. We must not bring shame to our master during this trip."

Nearly a thousand disciples heard this and said in unison:

"Master, please rest assured that we will not bring disgrace to our sect's reputation!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yicai looked outside the hall, towards the direction of the Great Swamp in the west, and thought to himself:

Zhang Xiaofan, ah Zhang Xiaofan, ten years ago, I joined forces with dozens of fellow apprentices with profound Taoism skills to besiege you, but we were defeated directly by you, and I lost face greatly.

Now, ten years have passed, and I will lead Junior Brother Zeng Shushu, Junior Brother Lin Jingyu, Junior Sister Lu Xueqi and others...

I believe that you, the deputy leader of the Ghost King Sect, will also go on this trip to the Western Swamp to seize the rare treasures.

By then, I want to see whether you, the former number one genius of Qingyun and now the deputy leader of the Demon Cult, the Blood Prince and Ghost Emperor, can defeat me again.

After all, this time I am leading Junior Sister Lu and other junior brothers and sisters. For example, Junior Brother Lin has already reached the Shangqing realm, and Junior Sister Lu has even higher Taoism attainments.

If we, several disciples, join forces, I don't believe we can't be your opponent...

Next, Xiao Yicai gave some instructions and selected a dozen elite disciples to participate in the trip to the Western Swamp.

Half an hour later, several streaks of light flew into the air from Tongtian Peak and shot towards the western swamp.

Inside the Tianyin Temple, two monks with bright foreheads stood on the top of the mountain.

Fashan was a burly man, extremely tall, but he had one arm missing, and in his right hand he held a huge Vajra Pestle.

Fashan looked into the distance, as if he saw Zhang Xiaofan heading towards the western swamp, and said angrily:

"Brother, now I have reached the peak of Yuqing, and you have even reached Shangqing. Together, we will make Zhang Xiaofan pay the price for this trip to the Western Swamp."

"Only in this way can I avenge my broken arm."

"Amitabha!" The Dharma Image chanted the Buddha's name and said in a calm tone:

"Junior brother, after all, it is our Tianyin Temple that owes Zhang Xiaofan a debt. It is only our Tianyin Temple that is wrong. Zhang Xiaofan had no choice. Master also told me not to embarrass Zhang Xiaofan."

"Therefore, if we encounter Zhang Xiaofan during this trip to the Western Swamp, we should not attack him unless he prevents us from obtaining the rare treasure."

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Fashan frowned and snorted angrily. He then shook the ground with the Vajra Pestle in his hand, and the ground within ten meters instantly broke into pieces.

When Faxiang saw this scene, he shook his head and chanted a Buddhist name:
"Amitabha!"

"Brother, a monk must have a compassionate heart, only then can the Buddha's teachings be boundless. You are obsessed with appearances!"

"Let's go. This time in the Western Swamp, the rare treasures must not fall into the hands of the Demon Cult."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fashang and Fashan leaped forward, transformed into two streaks of light, and flew quickly towards the western swamp.

The Dharma image flew in the air, his eyes gradually became sharper, and he thought to himself:
Zhang Xiaofan, ten years ago I was no match for you.

Now, my Taoism has greatly improved, which is equivalent to the second level of Shangqing in the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao of your Qingyun Sect. I will definitely have a good fight with you.

Incense Valley!
Located in southern Xinjiang, there are many mountains around!

In the sky, five streaks of light flashed quickly.

The two leaders, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, they were Li Xun and Yan Hong. The three disciples behind them were also the three strongest disciples in Fenxiang Valley after Li Xun and Yan Hong.

A disciple from Fenxiang Valley suddenly said:

"I heard that the Ghost King Sect has a Blood Prince Ghost Emperor, who is Zhang Xiaofan, a disciple who rebelled from the Qingyun Sect ten years ago."

"Yes, I have heard that too. I heard that Zhang Xiaofan was only seventeen years old, but he had already cultivated to the Shangqing realm ten years ago. I don't know if it's true or not..."

"It must be false. Rumor has it that during the great war between good and evil ten years ago, Zhang Xiaofan withstood the attack of Taoist Master Daoxuan's Immortal Execution Sword with one sword..."

"The Immortal Execution Sword. I heard that Taoist Xuan is at the Great Purity Realm. How can Zhang Xiaofan withstand it?"

The three disciples discussed it for a while but could not come to a conclusion, so they looked at Li Xun in front of them and asked:

"Brother Li Xun, eleven years ago, you and Sister Yan Hong went to the Blood Refining Hall of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave with the Qingyun Sect's Tianyin Temple, so you must have been in contact with Zhang Xiaofan for a period of time."

"Senior Brother Li Xun, do you think the rumors are true?"

When Li Xun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he looked embarrassed.

Not only had he been in contact with Zhang Xiaofan for a period of time, but he also met Zhang Xiaofan in the Black Stone Cave later.

However, he was severely injured when fighting against the three-tailed fox that summoned a fire dragon.

Afterwards, he fought with Zhang Xiaofan despite being seriously injured, but was frightened by Zhang Xiaofan's ability to slay ghosts and gods and stopped fighting on the spot.

At that time, Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation level was at the peak of Jade Purity.

Thinking of this, Li Xun said with a straight face:
"Zhang Xiaofan had only practiced for seven years ten years ago. How could he have reached the Shangqing realm in seven years? Do you really think he is the reincarnation of Qingye Zhenren?"

"It is so difficult to break through the Shangqing realm that even a cultivator with extraordinary talent would need at least a hundred years. Ten years ago, Zhang Xiaofan was only at the peak of Yuqing. Now that ten years have passed, he must be at the peak of Yuqing."

"As for the fight against Taoist Master Daoxuan holding the Immortal Execution Sword, it is absolutely a rumor. If you actually believe in such a rumor, you are really surprised by what you have seen and you are short-sighted."

At this point, Li Xun thought of the scene ten years ago when he was frightened by Zhang Xiaofan's killing of ghosts and gods and stopped fighting, and said:
"Ten years ago, Zhang Xiaofan wanted to challenge me, but I saw that he was young and couldn't bear to hit him, so I spared him at the last minute."

Upon hearing this, the three disciples hurriedly said:

"Senior Brother Li Xun is right. How could Zhang Xiaofan possibly block a blow from Taoist Master Daoxuan holding the Immortal Execution Sword?"

"Now that the rare treasure has appeared in the world, I am afraid that Zhang Xiaofan, who is aliased as the Ghost Emperor, will also go there. Now that Senior Brother Li Xun has cultivated to the peak of Shaoyang, he will definitely be able to kill the evil Ghost Emperor and become famous throughout the world."

"Haha...haha..." Li Xun felt particularly comfortable after hearing this, and laughed loudly and said:

“That’s…that’s…that’s…”

Yan Hong, who was standing next to him, was listening to what his senior brother and three junior brothers said, but felt somewhat confused.

Because she felt that Zhang Xiaofan could reach the peak of Jade Purity after seven years of practice, and now that ten years have passed, it is very likely that he could reach the Shangqing level.

If Zhang Xiaofan really reached the Shangqing level, with his senior brother's strength at the peak of Shaoyang, which is equivalent to the peak of Yuqing, he would probably not be Zhang Xiaofan's opponent.

Thinking of this, Yan Hong looked into the distance, as if he saw that ordinary figure, and thought to himself:
Zhang Xiaofan, this time when we meet, I want to see if you are as powerful as the rumors say. How do you compare with me, senior brother?
The three male disciples behind Yan Hong were flying in the air, looking at Yan Hong's back in front of them with burning eyes.

Among the younger generation in Fenxiang Valley, Yan Hong is not only second only to Li Xun in strength, but she is also the most beautiful woman in Fenxiang Valley.

Therefore, among these disciples, Yan Hong is undoubtedly their secret crush.

However, Senior Brother Li Xun was handsome and had profound knowledge of Taoism, so they were doomed to have no hope.

However, if the three of them can defeat the legendary Ghost Emperor during this rare treasure hunt, will they be able to win the heart of Senior Sister Yan Hong?
