Chapter 151: The Tianwu Sect Has Come Knocking!

~8 min read 1,457 words

"So, why did you come?" Jiang Yan asked, puzzled.

"To kick someone while they're down," Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"You traveled nearly ten thousand li just to see her make a fool of herself?" Lin Tianbai was speechless upon hearing this.

"That's right," Jiang Xun nodded.

Not to mention Lin Tianbai, the Elders were all speechless upon hearing this.

But they did not believe Jiang Xun's words at all.

Moreover, Tu Wan had now become the most critical element of this war, and no one would be allowed to make contact with her.

"Ahem... regarding the matter of the Wushang Pavilion, has Your Excellency taken any action?"

Lin Tianbai coughed dryly twice, changing the subject.

"Rest assured, I have already handled it. I have contacted the Third Pavilion Master of the Wushang Pavilion, and the other party's reply is still on the way," Jiang Xun said.

"Young Master Jiang certainly handles things efficiently," Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Can you take me to see Tu Wan?" Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Yan and asked.

"That won't do," Jiang Yan shook her head decisively. "Tu Wan is currently a high-profile prisoner of my Baiyun Sect. At a time like this, let alone you, Young Master, even I cannot see her."

The implication of Jiang Yan's words was that Tu Wan was being guarded personally by Lin Tianbai.

Except for Lin Tianbai, no one could see her.

"Tu Wan and I have a history. That person in your sect, what's his name... your eldest disciple..." Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Yan.

"Zhuo Yang?" Jiang Yan said.

"Yes, Zhuo Yang. He was at the Void Sect at the time, and he knows about it. You can ask him to verify it. I came here just to kick Tu Wan while she's down; I couldn't have made this ten-thousand-li trip for nothing, could I?" Jiang Xun looked at Lin Tianbai and smiled.

"This matter..." Lin Tianbai had just begun to speak.

"Bang!"

With a loud boom, the entire Baiyun Hall, and even the entire Lingyun Mountain, shook violently.

"Someone is attacking the Mountain Protection Array!" Lin Tianbai's expression changed, and he immediately turned into a streak of light and darted out; Jiang Yan and the others followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun also immediately followed.

The group flew all the way from Baiyun Hall to the mountain gate, only to see a sea of Tianwu Sect disciples in uniform black attire standing before the gate, having completely surrounded Lingyun Mountain and even set up a Formation, preventing them from leaving from within.

Tu Nan and Tu Mo were attacking the Mountain Protection Array.

The first batch of disciples who had rushed over had no Spirit Power left to continue supporting it and were sent flying, spitting blood, nearly dying on the spot.

"Tianwu Sect? How can this be!" Jiang Yan's expression changed drastically upon seeing the scene before her.

Jiang Xun was also a bit dumbfounded.

Looking at the robust man standing on a tree, dressed in a black robe with red threads, his white hair disheveled and his face full of majesty, he assumed this must be Tu Qingtian.

Jiang Xun lamented bitterly in his heart: Big Brother, couldn't you have come a step earlier? You arrived just ten minutes after I got up the mountain?

You've got me surrounded inside; what kind of situation is this?

I'm here to save your daughter, for heaven's sake!

"Long time no see, Lin Tianbai."

Seeing Lin Tianbai appear, Tu Qingtian looked at him and spoke.

Tu Nan and Tu Mo also temporarily ceased their attacks.

"Tu Qingtian, I haven't even gone to find you, yet you've come here first?"

Lin Tianbai looked at Tu Qingtian, gripping his long sword tightly, his heart already in his throat.

He had never imagined that Tu Qingtian would actually bring the entire Tianwu Sect out in full force to attack the Baiyun Sect first.

"Jiang Xun?"

Tu Nan also saw the white-haired man behind Jiang Yan and the others. Although he had become younger and much more handsome, that white hair, the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe on his body, and that gaze had not changed.

But Tu Nan dared not confirm it; she only frowned and muttered to herself.

Her heart was tied to Tu Wan, and she was very anxious now, wanting to quickly break through this wretched Mountain Protection Array, but her big brother's presence still had to be maintained, and words had to be spoken first.

"You captured my daughter, and you expect me not to come?" Tu Qingtian let out a cold snort. "I truly didn't expect that the dignified Baiyun Sect, the so-called righteous sect, would actually want to use someone else's daughter as a threat."

"Is there any need to talk about such things when dealing with someone like you? When you were slaughtering other cities, did you ever think that they also had families? Moreover, is Tu Wan innocent? Do you dare say her hands are not stained with the blood of commoners?"

Lin Tianbai said coldly.

"Tu Wan is innocent!" Tu Nan immediately shouted. "Her hands have never been stained with anyone's blood!"

"Do you dare say she has never consumed the Blood Pills you refined using infants?" Jiang Yan looked at Tu Nan and said.

"..." Tu Nan gritted her teeth. That was one of the fastest ways to increase one's strength; while Tu Wan was unaware, they had certainly fed them to her.

"Tu Wan's life is in my hands now. If you insist on attacking the mountain, don't blame me for being impolite!" Lin Tianbai looked at Tu Qingtian and said.

"... Very well." Tu Qingtian was silent for a moment. "Then your entire Baiyun Sect shall be buried with my daughter!"

After saying this, Tu Qingtian waved his hand, and his arm extended into a massive blood-red palm, which slammed fiercely onto the Mountain Protection Array.

Lin Tianbai, Jiang Yan, and the Elders immediately used their cultivation to resist.

Boom!

Another earth-shaking tremor occurred, and the Mountain Protection Array was nearly crumbling.

"Xiao Yan, go bring Tu Wan here." While supporting the Mountain Protection Array, Lin Tianbai secretly transmitted his voice to Jiang Yan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately flew away, heading toward where Tu Wan was kept.

Jiang Xun lamented inwardly; if someone other than Lin Tianbai or Jiang Yan had gone to fetch Tu Wan, Jiang Xun might have had a chance to snatch her, but it just had to be Jiang Yan.

But if he ignored Tu Wan, he feared he wouldn't even be able to escape this disaster himself today; Tu Qingtian was determined to slaughter the mountain.

Jiang Xun had no time to overthink and immediately followed in Jiang Yan's direction.

At this moment, everyone was focused on resisting Tu Qingtian's attack, so no one noticed Jiang Xun's movements.

"What do you plan to do?" Si Yuyan asked.

"Take it one step at a time, see if I can snatch Tu Wan," Jiang Xun shook his head.

"After you snatch Tu Wan, you still won't be able to get out of the Mountain Protection Array. By then, the people from the Baiyun Sect will deal with you first, then snatch Tu Wan away; won't the result be the same? You'll just die a bit earlier," Si Yuyan laughed.

"But if I work with the Baiyun Sect to deal with the Tianwu Sect, even if I only strike once, my Master will suffer the backlash of the oath and die."

Jiang Xun said.

"How about this: you resurrect me, and I'll deal with all of them, break the Mountain Protection Array directly, and take you out," Si Yuyan's scheme clicked into place.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun actually gave it some thought.

Once Si Yuyan returned to her own body, she would have the strength of a Saint in the Great Vehicle Realm; there was absolutely no one present who could be her match.

Rescuing Tu Wan would be easy.

But... then what?

Unless it was an absolute last resort, Jiang Xun really didn't want to do this.

"Sect Master Jiang! Sect Master Jiang!" Thinking of this, Jiang Xun accelerated to chase after Jiang Yan; without using the Crimson Wings, he really couldn't catch up.

It was only when Jiang Yan heard Jiang Xun's shouting and slowed down a little that Jiang Xun was able to catch up.

"I had forgotten about you. You should leave quickly and help us notify the other sects to come and provide support immediately!"

After saying this, Jiang Yan tossed a Token to Jiang Xun; with this Token, Jiang Xun would be able to leave the Baiyun Sect's Mountain Protection Array...
