Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 197 - 195: What Am I Afraid Of?
You really cause trouble no matter where you go, kid.
The Young Sect Leader got killed by you—of course they’re going to risk everything against you!
Jian Chuan shook his head slightly, stepped forward and said calmly, "Leave it to me!"
One man facing the entire Yuanli Sect group, yet utterly imposing!
Xu Yang never had any doubt about Jian Chuan’s strength.
The West Ling Sword Saint’s reputation is hard-earned and solid!
If it were the Zhang Family or some other great clan, maybe someone could block Jian Chuan, but the Yuanli Sect? Not a chance!
"Xu Yang, you little bastard, you—"
Lin Dong’s furious shout cut off abruptly!
Like someone had grabbed him by the throat!
First he saw Zhou Wang’s corpse, then he saw Jian Chuan.
He didn’t recognize Jian Chuan, but felt a deep, instinctive terror!
"You you you...!"
The Yuanli Sect’s Grand Elder’s eyes popped wide, almost like he’d seen a ghost. He pointed at Jian Chuan, lips trembling too much to speak clearly!
He gulped hard, then issued a shrill scream: "Retreat!"
"Move, quick!"
It was as if he’d seen something utterly horrifying—he turned tail and bolted.
He pushed his Myriad Phenomena Realm speed to the limit!
Didn’t even care about the others, terrified Jian Chuan would rush up and slaughter them all!
The group was at a loss, but seeing the Grand Elder like that—how could they not understand?
No matter who you are, first to flee stays alive!
Their entrance was with great momentum, their escape a complete mess!
"Grand Elder, who exactly was that?"
Once outside, Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask urgently.
All the Yuanli Sect Martial Artists perked up their ears, curious.
The Grand Elder took a deep breath, face full of survivor’s relief: "West Ling Sword Saint, Jian Chuan!"
"..."
"Holy shit!"
"Why would that sword bandit show up here?"
In that instant, no one felt ashamed about running away. Instead, everyone was thankful for the Grand Elder’s quick thinking!
If that guy goes on a rampage, he could wipe out our whole Yuanli Sect like swatting flies!
Yuanli Sect’s Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection—at most two or three, and even if three or five teamed up, it’s doubtful they’d survive a round against Jian Chuan!
That’s true intimidation!
Anything else was long forgotten by the crowd!
The Young Sect Leader’s dead anyway!
No point dying for a corpse!
Damn it, let whoever wants the mess have it!
On the other side.
Xu Yang was left speechless too.
Never expected Jian Chuan’s intimidation factor to be this overwhelming!
After the drama, a batch of familiar faces started showing up one after another.
Yang Yi, Meng Ziqiu, Zhao Mushen, Lv Xiu, Bai Jingxue and the rest!
"Bai Jingxue’s still around?"
Seeing Bai Jingxue, Xu Yang was startled!
Doggie finally leaped out from Bai Jingxue’s arms and landed on Xu Yang’s shoulder.
Maybe it’s been too long; the mutt missed Xu Yang so much it was willing to leave behind that soft paradise!
"You damn mutt!!"
Xu Yang grinned and cursed playfully at Doggie, then hurried up to greet everyone in turn.
After a bit of small talk, they swiftly set off again.
On the way, Xu Yang got straight to the point, moving everyone deeply.
"Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association? How come they’re...?"
The changes with Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association confused the whole group.
As for Song Yuanhao’s mystery, Xu Yang didn’t elaborate. Even he couldn’t figure out what Song Yuanhao was really up to.
But he couldn’t skip the warning.
"I may not know what the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association is planning, but I’m sure this mess in the Northern Territory involves them. If any of you run into them in the future, be careful!"
Xu Yang’s voice was solemn.
Everyone was shocked, and nodded in agreement!
"Miss Bai, is Mr. Bai still in Qingzhou?" Xu Yang looked at Bai Jingxue.
Bai Jingxue smiled gently, "Elder has already left; currently, only I remain in Qingzhou!"
Xu Yang was thoughtful.
With all this chaos, Bai Song as Grand Elder definitely wouldn’t linger in Qingzhou.
"Mr. Xu, are you planning to go to Central State?" Bai Jingxue probed.
Xu Yang raised an eyebrow—such a clever woman!
He didn’t hide it and nodded slightly, "That’s the idea, though there’s no rush for now!"
A flash of joy passed through Bai Jingxue’s eyes.
The Chen Family and Wuhou Hall are at war with Xu Yang, the Zhu Family won’t get chummy with him either, that leaves just the Bai Family!
If she can invite Xu Yang to visit the Bai Family—even aside from anything else—a few super-grade pills would benefit the Bai juniors immensely!
Bai Jingxue secretly felt lucky she stayed behind to wait for Xu Yang.
Otherwise she’d miss such a golden opportunity.
"Mr. Xu, when you reach Central State, let my Bai Family extend our hospitality!!" Bai Jingxue still seemed calm, but the look she shot Xu Yang burned intensely!
Xu Yang smiled, "Afraid I’ll be imposing then."
"Not imposing at all!" Bai Jingxue said seriously.
Xu Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.
Visiting the Bai Family in Central State first is all gain for him!
As for making some pills for the Bai Family—not a big deal at all!
Soon the group reached the Zhang Family without further incident.
Zhang Yuanshan and a well-mannered middle-aged man came out to greet them.
"Next to Mr. Zhang is the Zhang Family’s Clan Leader, Zhang Lingqiao. He’s been especially welcoming these days!" Bai Jingxue whispered nearby.
Xu Yang understood instantly.
The head of the Zhang Family should treat him just like Zhang Yuanshan does!
That’s the Zhang Family’s overall stance!
"Mr. Xu, sorry I couldn’t greet you sooner." Zhang Yuanshan called out apologetically from afar.
Xu Yang smiled, "Mr. Zhang’s too polite."
Zhang Yuanshan laughed warmly and quickly introduced, "Mr. Xu, this is our current Clan Leader, Zhang Lingqiao!"
"I’ve heard of Mr. Xu’s great name for ages—meeting you today, you truly live up to the reputation." Zhang Lingqiao’s smile was as bright as Zhang Yuanshan’s, his manner making it hard to believe he’s the leader of such a powerful family!
"You flatter me, Clan Leader Zhang."
"This time, I’m afraid I’ll bring some trouble to the Zhang Family."
Zhang Lingqiao grinned, "Trouble? The Zhang Family may not be all-powerful, but here in Qingzhou we’re plenty confident; whatever mess you’re dragging in, we’ll handle it!"
"And if we can’t—hell, we’ll just run for it!!"
Just these days, Liou Yunfeng’s visit brought the Zhang Family several top-grade pills, boosting the strength of their Myriad Phenomena Realm Martial Artists!
Their rivals, the Yunshan Clan, hearing that Liou Yunfeng was staying, came over to beg for pills, and got humiliated, letting Zhang Family vent all their grievances. The other side didn’t dare kick up a fuss!
Felt damned good!
If we get Xu Yang too, heh heh!!
Seeing Zhang Lingqiao talk like that, everyone burst into laughter.
Xu Yang bowed gratefully and followed the crowd into the Zhang Family!
The Zhang Family members watched Xu Yang with a mix of curiosity and awe.
"Is he that Xu Yang from the Northern Territory?"
