Chapter 867

In an instant, the entire crowd was stunned!

Not only the watching cultivators below.

Even the people from the Heart Sword Sect and the Medicine King Valley above had their expressions suddenly change!

Zhou Xuan's clear eyes swept about, and a strange brilliance could not help but surface on her face.

"In this world, there is actually such a magnificent man whose spirit towers over the universe?"

Looking over her life, she had seen no few outstanding young talents, prodigies and freaks of heaven.

But among them, not a single one could stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

At this moment, she could not help but recall a saying that fit the occasion perfectly.

"How can the light of a firefly dare to vie with the brilliance of the bright moon?"

This line, used to describe the prodigies of the world and the youth before her, could not have been more fitting.

At this time, Wang Jizhou's Celestial Being avatar, watching this scene, could not help but feel a twinge of sourness.

He raised his head and glared viciously at the Heavenly Sword Ancestor: "Hmph! This old man truly underestimated you. I never expected your Heavenly Sword Sect to have hidden itself so deeply!"

Clearly, in his view, Jiang Chen, who had arrived aboard the Mysterious Wind, was like Jiang Zhiwei—a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Hence the sourness in his heart—why were all these prodigies and freaks of heaven in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and not in his Heart Sword Sect?

Was it merely because he had once been defeated at the other's hands, causing his sect's reputation to fall short of theirs, which led to today's outcome?

Thinking of this, the fury hidden deep within Wang Jizhou's heart suddenly surged up, burning with fierce intensity!

He stared fixedly at the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's figure, wishing he could strike out right now.

But remembering that the current situation was special and unsuited for action, he could only choose to forcefully suppress his rage.

"Just wait. Once this old man achieves the Saint Realm, I will surely make your Heavenly Sword Sect vanish in smoke and be struck from the records!"

Wang Jizhou thought darkly, his gaze growing ever more gloomy.

And at this time, facing his taunts, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor also appeared quite puzzled.

Although he knew the Mysterious Wind's mission was to come fetch Zhiwei's clansmen.

He was unclear which member of the Cangwu Jiang family this youth before him actually was.

Could it be that one whose fame shook the Nine Kingdoms and Moonlight... Jiang Chen?

Just as the Heavenly Sword Ancestor was silently guessing.

Heavenly Sword Sect Elder Ji Chang suddenly sent a voice transmission, reporting the identities of those aboard the spirit vessel.

"Jiang Chen......"

Upon learning the youth's identity, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's eyes flickered, appearing especially stirred.

If such a prodigy could be taken into his tutelage, looking across the entire Moonlight Imperial Dynasty, in the future, which force could still stand against his own sect?

But his disciple Jiang Zhiwei had once said.

This elder brother had his heart set on the family, and had always been striving for the family's rise, so he would absolutely never join any force.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor could not help but dismiss the thought.

He could sense, from the aura Jiang Chen emitted, a powerful conviction of "having me, there is no enemy."

A person harboring such conviction must surely possess unyielding will and outstanding intellect—something no other could shake!

This Cangwu Jiang family—its future prospects are boundless......

After a long silence, it finally turned into a sigh of emotion.

On the other side.

As Jiang Chen flew back aboard the Mysterious Wind.

Jiang Yan could only brace himself and follow along.

Everyone gathered on the deck at the bow.

Jiang Beixuan glanced at Jiang Yan behind Jiang Chen, could not help but feel a bit curious, and asked: "Brother Chen, who is he?"

At these words.

Jiang Xingjian, Jiang Daoping, and Jiang Beixuan could not help but look over as well.

They too were very curious—anyone who could draw Jiang Chen to personally fly down and bring up must be no ordinary person.

Under everyone's gaze.

Jiang Chen smiled without a word, not taking the initiative to reveal the identity.

In the end, it was Jiang Yan who, wearing a helpless expression, stepped before everyone and reached up to lift the mask from his face.

Gazing at the fair and delicate face beneath the mask, everyone instantly recognized him: "Jiang Yan?!"

Jiang Yan, as one of the Eight Outstanding of Cangwu.

Had moreover, at the very beginning together with Jiang Chen, been collectively called by outsiders the "Twin Stars of the Jiang Family"!

Among the clan's younger generation, his fame stood only below Jiang Chen, Jiang Ming, and Jiang Zhiwei!

Jiang Chen, as the foremost of the Eight Outstanding of Cangwu, naturally needed no further mention.

Jiang Ming, as the Guardian of the Purple Myster Grotto, sheltered numerous clansmen and accumulated an immense amount of prestige.

Jiang Zhiwei's sword trials in Great Qin and sword trials in Moonlight—every detail of each duel spread through the major forums and clan groups of the Cangwu Order, sparking discussion among countless clansmen, hence her fame was extremely high!

Jiang Yan had been away from home for several months, yet his reputation could still hold steady beneath those three, and he was often discussed by clansmen—one could see how great his fame was!
