Chapter 886: A Completely Different Future

Can all external possessions be discarded?

Wang Junyi's face tightened, and he involuntarily swallowed.

Recalling the series of horrifying scenes from just now.

He truly could no longer believe any of the Ancestor's words.

He feared becoming the next sacrificial victim, following in the footsteps of those before him.

Thus, he immediately made up his mind, preparing to find an opportunity to slip away.

Otherwise, staying with this madman, one would not even know when death would arrive!

Just as everyone's gaze converged upon Wang Jizhou.

On the Profound Wind vessel.

Jiang Beixuan watched this scene, his brows furrowing slightly as he felt a trace of confusion.

"Strange, logically speaking, this person should have failed to break through and perished within the Lei Jie; why has he succeeded in breaking through now?"

According to the timeline of the previous life.

Even if Wang Jizhou had activated the Blood Spirit Refining Spirit Array, he would have been unable to resist the Lei Jie and would have died on the spot!

Then what explains the current situation?

Could it be that accompanied by my rebirth, some unknown influence was exerted upon this world, causing the final result to deviate?

For a moment, numerous thoughts flashed through Jiang Beixuan's mind.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration struck him, and he remembered something.

Slowly raising his head, he looked in the direction where Wang Yuhuan was located.

"Wang Yuhuan..."

Jiang Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, sinking into recollection.

As far as he knew, after Wang Jizhou activated the Blood Spirit Refining Spirit Array, within the entire Heart Sword Sect residence, only Wang Yuhuan had survived.

Afterwards, Wang Jizhou met with failure and perished in the Lei Jie.

Originally, he had not paid much attention to this matter.

But judging by the current situation, Wang Jizhou's failure to break through the Sword Saint tribulation likely had a great deal to do with Wang Yuhuan!

Connecting this with the other party's experiences.

A difficult previous life, followed by awakening the Five Elements Sword Body, gradually rising to prominence, sweeping through peers with his own strength, and seizing the position of Dao Son of the Heart Sword Sect!

Until Wang Jizhou failed to break through and the Heart Sword Sect was destroyed.

This person then soared like a dragon to the nine heavens, encountering opportunities constantly along the way.

Before his rebirth, the other party had already attained the Sword Emperor realm and obtained an opportunity to repair the defect that prevented him from cultivating Yuan Force.

Eventually reaching the peak of the Great Sage realm cultivation base, he was preparing to charge toward the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Judging by the other party's various experiences, it is evident that this person indeed possesses an extraordinary fate.

Viewed in this light, surviving within the Blood Spirit Refining Spirit Array and disrupting Wang Jizhou's Sword Saint tribulation is by no means impossible.

"And in the current timeline, with the Clan Leader successfully closing his cultivation and not perishing, our Jiang family has rapidly risen."

"At the same time, this caused Jiang Zhiwei to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect for cultivation, thereby engaging in the Sword Trial of Moonlight and battling Wang Yuhuan..."

"It was precisely because of this battle that history changed; Wang Yuhuan left the Heart Sword Sect residence and was not affected by the Blood Spirit Refining Spirit Array."

"Yet he is no longer a variable, unable to cause Wang Jizhou's effort to fail at the last moment; hence, we have today's situation."

Thinking of this, Jiang Beixuan could not help but feel emotional.

Fate is truly mysterious and profound.

Only a gentle pluck of the strings of fate is needed to create two completely different futures.

"However, what comes next will be somewhat difficult to handle..."

With Wang Jizhou successfully breaking through, everything that is about to happen next has become unknown.

Jiang Beixuan subconsciously looked forward.

Gazing at Jiang Chen's back.

He murmured, "I just wonder what backup plan the Clan Leader has left behind."

Even after several months of deeply understanding every aspect of the family, he still could not see through his own Clan Leader.

Such an unfathomable existence.

How could he possibly feel at ease letting their group leave Mount Cangwu without preparing any backup plans?

And among them, the one most likely to harbor the Clan Leader's backup plan could only be Jiang Chen, who emerged from the White Jade Capital.

It was precisely because he thought of this point that he was able to remain calm.

A mere Sword Saint, though undoubtedly powerful in the eyes of others.

Yet before the Clan Leader, he is clearly not worth looking at.

At the same time.

High in the sky.

Wang Jizhou no longer paid attention to Wang Junyi behind him.

He was not even in a hurry to deal with his old enemy, Heavenly Sword.

After all, for him now, killing Heavenly Sword could be done at any time; the other party's life or death rested entirely within a single thought of his.

Now, he slowly closed his eyes and began to fully activate his spiritual sense, perceiving the abnormal fluctuations emanating from the surrounding space.

"A Grotto-Heaven or a Secret Realm? Such an opportunity is actually hidden nearby..."

"My Heart Sword Sect has been established here for tens of thousands of years; looking across all our ancestors, not a single one was able to discover this anomaly, which shows that this opportunity is absolutely not simple!"

Wang Jizhou suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pupils flashing with unimaginable excitement!

"Hahaha! This Saint has just completed a breakthrough, and now I've stumbled upon such a great opportunity!"

"Today really is a heaven-sent chance, fortune shining bright!"

Wang Jizhou let out a wild laugh, then turned his head to look at the crowd below: "This Saint has just attained the position of Sword Saint, and does not wish to commit further killing. I'll give you ten breaths to leave—get lost!"

Although he wanted to kill every last one of them, to prevent the news of the opportunity's appearance from leaking out.

But considering these sword cultivators came from the various major factions of Moonbloom, if he wiped them all out in one stroke, it would likely anger these factions, thereby making him a public enemy of all cultivators throughout Moonbloom!

After all, he was only a Sword Saint, not a true sage—facing the wrath of the masses, he would likely face the peril of losing his life.

Therefore, letting these people leave was the wisest course of action.
