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

Chapter 156 The Demonic Cult Attacks
No one expected that the real truth would be so convoluted and complicated.

No one would have imagined that the quiet, upright young man had such a tragic background.

However, even though fate played many tricks on him, the boy did not become extreme in his character. On the contrary, his righteousness remained undiminished, and he still had a compassionate heart.

At this moment, not only the disciples of Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple, but also the righteous cultivators, even the group of demonic cultivators who were imprisoned to the side, all looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a sense of respect.

Finally, the chanting of the scriptures came to an end.

Zhang Xiaofan opened his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then helped Lin Jingyu, who had fallen to the ground, to his feet.

At this moment, Lin Jingyu seemed to have lost his soul, standing there like a walking corpse, which made the Taoist Cangsong not far away look guilty and sad.

Daoist Cangsong valued Lin Jingyu the most, and taught him everything he knew without reservation, treating him as his own son and pouring all his heart and soul into him.

Especially because of Lin Jingyu's background, Daoist Cangsong doted on him and passed on the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which held special significance for him, to Lin Jingyu at a young age.

At this moment, the more the Taoist Cangsong loved Lin Jingyu, the more guilty he felt.

Before this, Daoist Cangsong had never imagined that he would have a part in the tragic fate of his disciple.

Just then, a commotion came from outside the hall, waking everyone inside the Jade Purity Hall.

Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, glanced around, paused on the heavily injured Dao Xuan Zhenren, and then said in a deep voice.

"Right and wrong are all things of the past. Now is not the time to dwell on such things. Right now, the Demonic Sect is leading its forces to attack. I hope that everyone will unite as one and work together to protect our righteous path!"

“Indeed, we should work together to defend against the enemy. However, I am currently injured and unable to take command, so Zhang Xiaofan will take over.”

Dao Xuan Zhenren immediately spoke up, but the other five sect leaders did not say much. Right now, someone really needed to step forward and take charge of the situation.

In the past, when Dao Xuan Zhenren did not appear, it was Cangsong Daoren who stepped forward to take charge of the situation. But now, Dao Xuan Zhenren is seriously injured, and Cangsong Daoren has confessed to betraying his sect.

Although Zhang Xiaofan is only a disciple, his strength and prestige are sufficient. At least, the disciples under his tutelage are willing to listen to him. In addition, Tianyin Temple will definitely give Zhang Xiaofan face, making him the most suitable candidate.

"Amitabha! If Benefactor Zhang has any instructions, the entire Tianyin Temple will be ready at any time!"

Master Puhong said in a deep voice, his face solemn. Before, he only felt that Tianyin Temple owed Zhang Xiaofan, but Zhang Xiaofan's previous actions had impressed the abbot of Tianyin Temple.

It is easy to pick something up, but extremely difficult to put it down. Zhang Xiaofan not only did it, but was even willing to preserve the reputation of the monk Puzhi. Even Master Puhong admired him for this.

"In that case, let's all go out and take a look. I want to see what these demonic cultists are relying on."

Zhang Xiaofan spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of anger.

Even if you let go of some things, it doesn't mean there are no ripples in your heart; it just means you don't want to get entangled with the past anymore.

Just like the Rebirth Mantra, it not only helps the villagers of Grass Temple Village to be reborn in a better future, but also helps the monk Puzhi to be reborn in a better future, and even helps one's own past and hatred to be reborn in a better future.

Right now, this group of demonic cultists attacking the mountain has just run into Zhang Xiaofan's anger, naturally adding to his own fury.

After speaking, Zhang Xiaofan paused, turned to look at Lin Jingyu, whose eyes were glazed over, and said in a deep voice.

"If you are still a disciple of Qingyun, then pick up your sword, understand?" Lin Jingyu's dim eyes gradually regained some light, and as he watched the figures walking out of the hall, his eyes finally showed some spirit.

Turning his head, Lin Jingyu looked into those eyes that seemed to have aged considerably in an instant. He paused, opened his mouth but didn't know how to address them.

“Puzhi is dead. If you want revenge, then do it. I can die in peace knowing that I have died by my own disciple’s sword.”

The Taoist Cangsong chuckled softly, his weathered and hoarse voice slowly rising, causing Lin Jingyu to sway.

After a moment of silence, Lin Jingyu snorted coldly and said in a cold voice.

"Your crimes will naturally be judged by the sect leader and the others."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong was taken aback. Looking at this somewhat different disciple before him, he suddenly smiled with satisfaction, sighed, and said...

“You’ve grown up, and you’re even more outstanding than your teacher.”

Lin Jingyu didn't speak, but simply held the Dragon-Slaying Sword and strode towards the outside of the Jade Purity Hall. Daoist Cangsong watched his disciple go, his eyes somewhat dazed.

Suddenly, the Taoist Cangsong sighed softly, lowered his head slowly, and murmured softly.

"Senior Brother Wan, your junior brother is coming to apologize to you right away."

On the other side, the captured fake Shangguan Ce and the group of fake Fenxiang Valley disciples, seeing that the righteous people had all left Yuqing Hall, glared angrily at Cangsong Daoist.

Especially the fake Shangguan Ce, seeing the repentant look on Cangsong Daoren's face, couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Hey, a traitor is a traitor. No matter how much you admit your mistakes, Cangsong, you will always be a traitor to the Qingyun Sect. After you go down there, you'll still want to plead guilty? You'll probably be beaten to death by your Qingyun Sect's founder!"

No wonder the fake Shangguan Ce was so furious. He and his group had followed the advice of Daoist Cangsong, pretending to be from Fenxiang Valley, and came to Yuqing Palace to coordinate an attack from the inside.

The results of it?
Before they could even make a move, Daoist Cangsong himself deviated from the plan and launched a sneak attack before even poisoning Daoist Xuan.

Then, it was that Zhang Xiaofan again who shouted something, and before all of them could even make a move or react, they were captured.

"Hmph, even if the founder beat me to death, I, Cangsong, will still be a disciple of Qingyun Sect, and you demonic monsters are no match for me."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong snorted coldly. He was not only unafraid of what the fake Shangguan Ce said, but even looked on with a hint of anticipation.

Even if he were beaten to death, Daoist Cangsong would accept it, after all, he had committed a grave mistake.

He could resent Dao Xuan Zhenren, and even assassinate him. No matter how outrageous it was, Cangsong Daoren never felt he was wrong.

But he almost ruined the foundation of his ancestor's legacy and harmed so many disciples. This is why Daoist Cangsong admitted his mistake.

"Alas! It's all a tragic fate!"

Just then, an old sigh sounded softly, and the Taoist Cangsong trembled all over. The next moment, two streams of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.
