Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 123 Father-in-law and Son-in-law Clash Again
The fact that a demonic cultist was lurking in the shadows was enough to shock Faxiang, Dali Zunzhe, and the others.

However, the response from that demonic cult member was like a major earthquake, directly shaking the minds of countless people present.

Son-in-law?

Zhang Xiaofan's expression remained unchanged, and he even responded without any hesitation.

"If my father-in-law brought people to watch the show, then I'll take them with me!"

With a 'whoosh,' almost everyone turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan, their expressions incredibly varied.

During this period, Zhang Xiaofan took charge of affairs, and with his profound cultivation, he occasionally helped other righteous fellow practitioners, which naturally made him famous.

But now, this highly respected disciple of Qingyun Sect, who has been gaining prominence among the righteous sects recently, is actually close to the demonic sect members... This...

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. At the same time, the way they looked at Zhang Xiaofan changed. The trust they had shown before was replaced by suspicion and wariness.

However, Zhang Xiaofan seemed oblivious to the strange looks from the crowd, staring intently at Wan Renwang and the others who had appeared on the distant mountaintop.

Wan Renwang's gaze swept over the faces of those righteous people, and a hint of smugness appeared on his face. However, he did not speak, but just stared at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile.

At this moment, a series of whooshing sounds came from behind Zhang Xiaofan, as all the other disciples of the Qingyun Sect had rushed over.

As for the rear being undefended? This is not something the disciples need to worry about. After all, with the three chief disciples and one elder personally guarding the rear, it is much safer than if the disciples were to guard it themselves.

Qi Hao, Wen Min, Song Daren, and the others stood behind Zhang Xiaofan, staring warily at Wan Renwang and the Ghost King Sect disciples behind him.

"I never imagined that after several days apart, we, father-in-law and son-in-law, would meet again in such a scene. It's truly heartbreaking!"

Wanrenwang suddenly sighed softly and said with a complicated expression.

Upon hearing this, Du Bishu, Lin Jingyu, and the others' expressions changed drastically. Lin Jingyu, being outspoken, immediately shouted angrily.

"Bah! As expected of a demonic cultist, how dare they slander Xiao Fan's innocence! Truly shameful!"

Even after being scolded by Lin Jingyu, Wanrenwang was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile.

Lin Jingyu was also stunned when he saw this. He realized that Zhang Xiaofan's reaction seemed strange, so he turned his head to look. He saw that Zhang Xiaofan did not refute, but simply drew out the strange phoenix-headed longsword from his back.

"It's been several days since we last met. I wonder if your Taoist skills have improved? How about we have another spar? If I win, I'll bring them back to Qingyun. What do you say?"

Zhang Xiaofan's expression was extremely calm, his cold and stern face revealing nothing unusual, but the words he spoke shocked Song Daren and the others.

After Wen Min realized what was happening, she quickly turned to look at Tian Ling'er beside her, and heard Tian Ling'er say softly.

"I believe in Xiao Fan!"

Upon hearing this, Du Bishu, Song Daren, and He Dazhi, who were standing to the side, brightened up and responded in deep voices.

"That's right, we believe in our junior brother!"

"That's right, I believe in Xiao Fan. He would never collude with the Demonic Sect!"

Lin Jingyu's voice was even more powerful and resonant. As he spoke, he drew his long sword from behind him. The sword light was as clear as autumn water, and within the rising auspicious energy, there was an undeniable sharpness.

"You demonic cultists, stop trying to sow discord!"

"This is... the Dragon Slayer Sword!" Qinglong exclaimed in surprise as his gaze fell on the longsword in Lin Jingyu's hand. Instantly, the expressions of many demonic sect members changed, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.

Below, Faxiang also reacted, softly chanted a Buddhist mantra, and then spoke.

"Amitabha! Brother Zhang is kind-hearted and compassionate, and he cares deeply for all living beings. This humble monk is willing to believe in Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Faxiang?"

As Faxiang spoke, many monks from Tianyin Temple changed their expressions and looked at him in disbelief. However, after hesitating for a moment, they all stood firmly behind Faxiang.

Seeing this, the other righteous people hesitated for a moment and then remained silent. They might not believe Zhang Xiaofan, but the Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple had a thousand-year reputation that they could trust.

Seeing that things had turned out completely unexpectedly, Wan Renwang's eyes narrowed, and his face tightened, looking somewhat gloomy.

Immediately afterwards, Wanrenwang seemed to realize what was happening, and a smile appeared on his face. He clapped his hands lightly, as if in praise.

"My son-in-law is indeed a worthy disciple of Qingyun. I wonder, how much of the Daoist arts I taught you have you mastered?"

"Perfect timing! I didn't get to finish the game with my father-in-law on our wedding day last time. Today, let me see how much he has learned!"

Zhang Xiaofan's expression turned slightly cold. As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of red sword light and rushed straight towards Wan Renwang.

Wan Renwang showed no sign of backing down. He took a step forward, leaped into the air, and directly raised his hand to strike at the sword light.

"Buzz!"

The sword light transformed into a figure, and Zhang Xiaofan raised his hand to meet it with a palm strike. The two palms collided in mid-air, and instantly, a terrifying burst of energy erupted from their hands.

Such powerful magical fluctuations startled countless people below, who were not only shocked by Wanrenwang's profound cultivation but also horrified by Zhang Xiaofan's level of expertise.

The powerful force instantly sent Zhang Xiaofan flying. While he was in mid-air, Zhang Xiaofan opened his right hand, and the Burning Sword appeared in his hand the next moment.

"Shh! Shh!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiaofan unleashed two sword energies towards Wan Renwang. Upon seeing this, Wan Renwang pushed his hands forward, creating a barrier that blocked Zhang Xiaofan's sword energies.

At this moment, Qi Hao, Fa Xiang, Song Daren, and the others finally reacted and rushed towards the members of the Demonic Sect.

The Venerable Might raised his Vajra Pestle, about to strike, but was stopped by the Azure Dragon. The Venerable Might's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swung the Vajra Pestle at the Azure Dragon.

Seeing this, Qinglong raised his hand and waved it. A beam of azure light appeared and formed a barrier in front of him. The next instant, the giant golden pestle smashed down.

When Venerable Dali saw that the azure light was extraordinary, he became more vigilant and reduced his strength. When the golden pestle struck the azure light, his expression changed drastically.

Venerable Dali felt a tremendous force coming from the azure light, which directly bounced the golden pestle in his hand back. If he hadn't withdrawn some of his force in time, he would not have been able to hurt the Azure Dragon, but would have hurt himself instead.

"This is... the Azure Light Ring of Heaven and Earth!"

Just as Venerable Dali was greatly alarmed, another beam of azure light flew from the ring and shot towards Venerable Dali.

Venerable Might's expression changed drastically. At such close range, it was clearly too late to dodge.

Just as Venerable Dali was preparing to withstand the attack, another sword light flashed and shattered the azure light.
