On that day, Elder Xinghe watched helplessly as the disciples of Tianyan Sect were nearly wiped out.
Unable to bear it any longer, he went to the Dark Forest and brought back all the surviving disciples of Tianyan Sect.
At the same time, he thoroughly investigated everything that had happened in the Dark Forest.
The entire Tianyan Sect was furious, their resentment reaching the heavens.
Everyone in Tianyan Sect wanted to skin Xiao Lingchen alive, tear him apart, and crush him to pieces!
After learning about this from Elder Yunzhu, Xiao Lingchen was momentarily stunned.
Then his brows furrowed involuntarily.
When he was slaughtering the disciples of Tianyan Sect during the competition, he hadn't thought about hiding anything.
He had already prepared to settle accounts with Tianyan Sect when the time came.
He just thought that this matter would at least be exposed after the competition ended.
He didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly!
If that's the case!
Tianyan Sect is very likely to have already taken retaliatory action!
And before this, while he was still in the Dark Forest, their target for revenge would be his family!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to head down the mountain to go home.
Elder Yunzhu grabbed his arm and said:
"Don't worry, I investigated this matter before Tianyan Sect did."
"Knowing they would definitely retaliate against your family, I had already arranged for your family to be moved."
"They are very safe at the moment."
Hearing this, the stone that had just risen in Xiao Lingchen's heart was also put down.
He looked at Elder Yunzhu gratefully and said:
"Thank you, Elder."
Elder Yunzhu waved his hand and said:
"After all, you are a disciple of our Supreme Mystical Sect."

"I naturally have to protect you and your family."
"But this matter is ultimately a hassle. If not properly resolved, it might lead to a sect war with endless troubles."
As a disciple of the Supreme Mystical Sect and the personal disciple of the Sect Master, Xiao Lingchen was naturally protected by the sect.
However, what Xiao Lingchen did this time was indeed excessive, and Tianyan Sect would not let him off easily.
As a result, the conflict between the two sects would only deepen, eventually leading to a sect war.
Once a sect war begins, the Supreme Mystical Sect and Tianyan Sect would be at a point of no return!
Xiao Lingchen said:
"Elder, you need not worry. This matter is my doing alone, and I will not implicate the sect."
"I will choose a day to go to Tianyan Sect and settle this matter with them."
Elder Yunzhu glared at him and said:
"You brat, why are you acting so recklessly?"
"You're thinking of settling accounts with Tianyan Sect, do you know that Tianyan Sect has been around for tens of thousands of years, and is not something you can easily shake?"
"You should know, Tianyan Sect has eight experts above the Breaking Illusions Realm, and their Sect Master, Duan Wushang, is rumored to have reached the seventh level of the Breaking Illusions Realm, but in reality, his true strength might have reached the eighth or even ninth level!"
"He also possesses the sect's Divine Artifact, the Danyang Pearl, which is incredibly powerful."
"You, with your mere Dao Palace Realm cultivation, have a few tricks up your sleeve, killed a trivial branch of the Demon Race, and now you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"If you go, you might not return!"
After hearing Elder Yunzhu's words, Xiao Lingchen couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Tianyan Sect was even stronger than he had imagined!
It was a formidable existence.
However, Xiao Lingchen was not afraid.
Although he was only at the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm, that was because he wanted to cultivate each realm to its utmost.
Now, with his extraordinary physique and various divine powers, he already had the ability to kill early-stage Breaking Illusions Realm experts.
Even if he encountered mid-stage Breaking Illusions Realm experts, he could still put up a fight.
If the Sect Master of Tianyan Sect was truly unbeatable, relying on the Divine Movement Step and Instant Movement Technique, he could still retreat safely.
However, before Xiao Lingchen could speak, Elder Yunzhu spoke again.
Seeing Xiao Lingchen's thoughts, he said earnestly:
"You brat, just stay put for a while!"
"I only said this matter might lead to a sect war! But I didn't say we wouldn't care about you!"
Xiao Lingchen was taken aback, showing a puzzled expression.
Elder Yunzhu solemnly said:
"You are the personal disciple of our Sect Master, and a rare genius in our Supreme Mystical Sect for tens of thousands of years."
"No matter what, we can't just watch you be bullied by Tianyan Sect, can we?"
"Rest assured, if this matter cannot be resolved properly, we will not compromise with Tianyan Sect. As long as we can protect you, even if it means starting a sect war, so be it."
After hearing Elder Yunzhu's words, Xiao Lingchen felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Although he hadn't known Elder Yunzhu for long, and the opportunities to meet were few and far between.
But for him to go this far was not easy.
"Thank you, Elder."
Xiao Lingchen said:
"However, this matter involves a blood feud, and I still want to resolve it myself."
"To personally avenge my fallen clansmen."
"And to find out the true mastermind behind the attack on my Xiao Family!"
Hearing this, Elder Yunzhu frowned slightly:
"Are you serious?"
Xiao Lingchen replied:
"Of course!"
Elder Yunzhu was protective by nature, wanting to shield Xiao Lingchen, but he didn't expect Xiao Lingchen to have such courage and determination.
After pondering for a while, he sighed and said:
"Very well!"
"But you should discuss this matter with your master first."
"Don't rush into action. Stay in the sect and cultivate for the next few days. In three days, you can enter the True Martial Space to seek opportunities."
"If you can obtain supreme opportunities and enhance your strength, you'll have a better chance when you go to Tianyan Sect to settle accounts."
Xiao Lingchen found the advice reasonable.
After bidding farewell, he returned to the Back Mountain to see his master, Jiang Luoxian.
After a month apart, seeing Jiang Luoxian again, Xiao Lingchen was still deeply captivated by her beauty.
Today, Jiang Luoxian wore a simple gauze dress, with a blue belt accentuating her graceful figure.
Her long black hair fell naturally like a waterfall, her brows were like new moons, and her lips like a touch of rouge.
At this moment, she was holding a ladle, watering the spiritual plants in front of the wooden house.
The sunlight cast down, sweeping away some of her coldness, making her appear more serene and elegant.
Whether it was Yun Zhanyi or Ning Huanhuan, they were rare beauties, but in front of Jiang Luoxian, they seemed to pale in comparison.
"Truly, I wonder which man will win the heart of Master in the future."
"If I could share a moment of intimacy with Master, I would willingly lose a thousand years of my life!"
Xiao Lingchen thought to himself.
But then he quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought.
"Master is like a fairy descended from the nine heavens. To be intimate with her, one must have saved the entire galaxy in a past life!"
Just then, a gentle breeze accompanied by a faint fragrance wafted over.
Xiao Lingchen instinctively turned his head and saw Jiang Luoxian had somehow already arrived beside him.
Her cold yet exquisitely beautiful face was close to his.
A soft voice came:
"What are you thinking about?"
Pawread.
