Chapter 376: Surprised? Unexpected?

Half an hour later.

A figure shot over from the distance.

He raised his head to gaze into the distance.

His line of sight swept over the Array outside the Wan Jian Sect.

Inside the Wan Jian Sect.

The old Sect Master and the current Sect Master stood suspended in mid-air.

Leading the Wan Jian Sect Cultivators, they were doing their utmost to maintain the Protective Sect Array.

Outside the Wan Jian Sect Protective Sect Array.

Only one figure was suspended there.

The newcomer looked at the figure outside the Array, "Elder Yan, why are you the only one here?"

He seemed very vigilant and did not immediately approach.

Instead, he spoke from afar.

Hearing the voice from behind, "Elder Yan" turned around to look.

"So it is Elder Yue."

He smiled, then revealed a look of distress and sighed, "Sigh, don't mention it."

"Not long after receiving Daoist Friend Yue's voice transmission warning, a little bastard came here disguised as Elder Lu Xuan."

"Because I had Daoist Friend Yue's warning beforehand, I had already strengthened my defenses."

"I did not let the other party's sneak attack succeed."

"However, that little bastard has extraordinary strength and also brought along several powerful female Cultivators."

"Although I saw through his identity and killed them, I still suffered heavy losses."

"All the Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the team were killed, and even two of the three Earth Pavilion Elders died."

Elder Yue's expression shifted, "What about the remaining Earth Pavilion Elder?"

Elder Yan sighed, "Relying only on myself and one Earth Pavilion Elder, we could no longer break the Wan Jian Sect Protective Sect Array, so I stayed here alone to guard it, while that Earth Pavilion Elder was sent by me to the sect to seek reinforcements."

Speaking of this, he gave a bitter smile, "It is a pity that Elder Yue did not state at the time that you were coming to support, otherwise I would not have needed to send someone back to seek reinforcements."

"With the strength of us two Heaven Pavilion Elders, it would be enough to break this Wan Jian Sect Protective Sect Array."

Hearing Elder Yan's words, Elder Yue's expression relaxed.

However, the vigilance in his heart still did not dissipate.

That treacherous villain's Disguise ability was too strong.

If he hadn't appeared on his own, one wouldn't have been able to detect a single anomaly.

He already had a shadow cast over his heart.

Seeing the cautious look on Elder Yue's face, Elder Yan smiled, "Is Elder Yue doubting my identity?"

As he spoke.

A surge of Will Power erupted from his body.

"Although that little bastard can change his appearance and life aura, his cultivation level cannot deceive anyone."

"As a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, his Will has not yet manifested; although he can simulate an appearance, he cannot unleash Will Power."

"With this, it should be enough to prove my identity, right?"

Feeling the Will Power emanating from Elder Yan, Elder Yue's stern expression finally relaxed.

A look of apology flashed across his face.

"Elder Yan, please do not take offense; I was just scared by that little bastard."

Hearing this, Elder Yan laughed heartily.

"That little bastard's Disguise ability is indeed powerful; if not for Elder Yue's prior warning, I would not have been able to see through it either."

"It is completely understandable for Elder Yue to be so cautious."

Elder Yue nodded.

His figure flashed, appearing beside Elder Yan, and he looked down at the Wan Jian Sect.

Upon inspecting it from this close distance.

He discovered that there were fewer Cultivators supporting the Formation inside the Wan Jian Sect than he had imagined.

And every person's face revealed a sense of despair.

Their gazes toward Elder Yue were filled with hatred.

After noticing this, the last remaining doubts in his heart completely dissipated.

"It is truly a joyous occasion that Daoist Friend Yan was able to kill that treacherous villain."

"It is a pity that I was unable to kill him with my own hands."

As he spoke, a look of regret flashed across Elder Yue's face.

Wang Jianqiang had deceived him.

He had wiped out his team and left him fleeing in a sorry state.

In his heart, he had long since hated Wang Jianqiang to the core.

He wished he could crush him to death with his own hands.

"Does Elder Yue wish to take revenge personally?"

Just at this moment, Elder Yan suddenly started to laugh.

His smile was very kind.

Elder Yue shook his head with a bitter smile, "That person has already been killed by Elder Yan; even if I wanted to, there is no longer a chance."

Speaking of this, he paused, "Elder Yan, do not misunderstand; Yue does not mean to blame you. That Elder Yan was able to execute that thief can be considered as having vented some pent-up anger for Yue."

Elder Yan smiled, "Elder Yue, the Nascent Souls of those people were actually kept by Yan, and they still have consciousness."

Elder Yue was startled, revealing a look of pleasant surprise, "Truly?"

"Naturally, it is true." Elder Yan smiled, "That brat was truly too hateful; Yan originally intended to keep them to properly torment them later."

"Since Elder Yue hates that brat so much, then let Elder Yue deal with him."

Upon hearing this, Elder Yue immediately revealed a look of excitement, "Many thanks, Elder Yan."

As he spoke, he coughed dryly and continued, "Daoist Friend Yan, did you keep the Nascent Souls of the female cultivators by that little beast's side?"

Elder Yan's gaze flickered, his smile becoming increasingly amiable, "I kept them."

Elder Yue's eyes immediately lit up, "Daoist Friend Yan, could you part with one or two? Yue will not take them for free; I can exchange treasures with you."

"Daoist Friend Yue, these words of yours are a bit too distant."

Elder Yan looked at Elder Yue with a smile, "Yan will just give you two; there is no need to mention the matter of an exchange."

"Elder Yan is righteous."

Elder Yue was filled with excitement.

Although that little beast was insidious in character, to tell the truth, the female cultivators by his side were truly Superior Grade.

Although only their Nascent Souls remained, they were not entirely unusable.

There was no help for it.

He had been fond of this sort of thing since he was young.

Especially...

If he could, in front of that little beast...

Just thinking about it was damn exciting!

Under Elder Yue's excited gaze.

Elder Yan slowly opened his palm, and a miniature treasure hall appeared in the center of his palm.

Seeing this treasure hall.

Elder Yue's expression was full of envy.

A Mysterious Grade Dharma Treasure.

Looking across the entire Chiyan World, it might not count for much.

But here in the Northern Territory, it could definitely be called a top-tier Magic Treasure.

Even cultivators like him and Elder Yan who had Manifested Will did not possess one.

But Elder Yan had one now.

How could this not make him envious?

"Elder Yan has good fortune~"

He could not help but exclaim.

Elder Yan smiled.

A faint Spirit Light rippled over the treasure hall.

Elder Yue's expression shifted, and he looked over with a face full of anticipation.

The Nascent Souls he imagined did not appear.

Instead, five living female cultivators appeared.

He was stunned, his brain unable to help but stall for a split second.

In this fleeting moment.

The attacks of the five women had already overwhelmed him like a deluge.

Amidst the violent sound of an explosion.

He let out a miserable shriek and was blasted away, heavily injured.

Before he could land.

A five-colored Spirit Light flashed and arrived, piercing directly through his brow.

His Nascent Soul flew out in a panic.

Having just left his body.

An invisible palm reached over and gripped him tightly.

With a thought, Wang Jianqiang pulled Elder Yue's Nascent Soul into his palm.

A flash of Spirit Light on his body, and he changed back to his original appearance.

He looked at the Nascent Soul in his hand with a smile.

"Elder Yue..."

"Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"
