The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 695: Crisis of the Zhen Tian Men
Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Crisis of the Zhen Tian Men
The incident that occurred during Guiyuan Sect Leader Du Wannian’s grand birthday celebration spread like wildfire amongst the first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate forces in the Ancient Martial World, especially after some sects noticed the movements of the Guiyuan Sect, Xuantian Sect, and Cold Sea Pavilion. They had a foreboding sense that a storm was about to hit, as the Ancient Martial World had been too peaceful for too many years.
As the various sects speculated whether Xuantian Sect would survive the joint attack by the three major sects, the atmosphere where Xuantian Sect was located was incredibly tense. Countless Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect disciples were scurrying about hastily, all wearing vigilant expressions and closely observing every little movement around them.
After leaving Guiyuan Sect, Ji Dingtian, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect, immediately mobilized all the Heaven Rank experts in his sect to station at Xuantian Sect, trying to help Xuantian Sect weather this crisis.
Together, Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect had only around sixty-three Heaven Rank experts, which was surely not enough to withstand the joint attack of the three major sects.
While the disciples of Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect were patrolling around, the grand hall of Xuantian Sect was brightly lit, and as time ticked by, the atmosphere grew more and more somber. No one present had the slightest inclination to sleep, for they were about to face two first-rate sects and one second-rate sect, a force that they were not equipped to deal with.
Sun Boyi sighed and said, "According to the latest information scouted by the disciples of Xuantian Sect, the experts of Xuantian Sect and Cold Sea Pavilion have gathered at Guiyuan Sect. It seems that Qingyun Sect and Qianji Sect have also joined them this time. The number of Heaven Rank experts they’ve deployed is probably around a hundred; adding to that, both Du Fuwei and Zhong Yongming possess the strength of the Innate Middle Stage. Our current situation is extremely unfavorable."
"Old man Sun, don’t speak such disheartening words. If they bring soldiers, we’ll counter with generals, and if they bring floods, we’ll build levees. I’ve had a premonition of reaching the peak of the Innate Realm just a couple of days ago. I should be able to hold off two Innate Middle Stage experts without a problem," said Ji Shunde, the former Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect. He had not hesitated and had come to Xuantian Sect along with his disciples after learning of the possible combined attack by the three major sects.
Hearing the conversation between Sun Boyi and Ji Shunde, the grand hall fell silent once again. Ji Shunde only had a faint premonition of reaching the peak of the Innate Realm and had not truly achieved that strength, so everyone in the room knew that he might only hold off the two Innate Middle Stage experts for a short while.
But the proportion of Heaven Rank experts on both sides was completely mismatched, and to many, the battle seemed to have a foregone conclusion without even starting.
"This is all because of that Secular World youngster’s troublemaking. Who would have thought he would provoke three sects in one go? Is this predestined to be Xuantian Sect’s day of doom?" Maybe due to the oppressive atmosphere, eventually, one of Xuantian Sect’s elders couldn’t help but castigate, and immediately there were sounds of agreement from around.
"All of you, shut your mouths! Chenfeng is my grandson. If any of you are scared to death, then get out of Xuantian Sect now," Sun Yang’an suddenly roared, his presence emanating a fierce aura.
Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin, the parents of Ye Chenfeng who were also present in the grand hall, felt a twinge of bitterness in their hearts when they heard the elders of Xuantian Sect start to complain about their son. Even though their son had caused the current trouble, as his parents, Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin certainly did not like hearing others speak ill of him.
Sun Meiqin clasped Ye Donghua’s arm, and Ye Donghua gently patted the back of her hand. Then, he stood up resolutely and said, "Since this trouble has been caused by my son, when the time comes, just hand us over. We will not implicate you all."
"Donghua is right. As his parents, we should bear the troubles our son has caused," Sun Meiqin declared without hesitation.
Standing to the side, Qin Yi, upon hearing the words of Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin, likewise stepped forward without a moment’s hesitation and said, "There’s also my part in this matter. The boss went to Guiyuan Sect in order to help me, so there’s no need to drag you all into it."
Qin Yi shook his head ruefully in his heart and silently scoffed at the short-sightedness of these Xuantian Sect elders. If his boss arrived here in time with the eighty-eight Heaven Rank experts of the Wing Guard Team, would there still be a need to fear the joint attack of the three major sects?
Following Qin Yi’s step forward, Xue Shanshan closely followed his pace. Now, even if it meant death, dying alongside Qin Yi would make her feel unimaginably happy.
Xia Zining, who had recently joined Xuantian Sect, bit her lip and stood beside Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin. Her actions indicated that if Xuantian Sect intended to sever ties with Ye Chenfeng, she would certainly not stay either. A major reason for her joining Xuantian Sect was because of Ye Chenfeng.
"I really don’t get you guys, why is everyone so afraid of dying? If Chenfeng has to go to Hell, I, Sun Hengfei, will stand by my brother and go through it with him." Sun Hengfei still appeared nonchalant, yet the expression on his face was exceptionally serious at this moment.
"Old man Sun, since you don’t want the young man, Chenfeng, then our Ghost Doctor Sect will take him. We of the Ghost Doctor Sect are not afraid of death," Ji Shunde expressed some dissatisfaction with the words of the elder from the Xuantian Sect just before.
"Right, with Mr. Ye’s medical skills being so superb, our Ghost Doctor Sect welcomes him most eagerly."
"What I despise most are those who are greedy for life and fear death. Isn’t living in this world sometimes about fighting for one’s pride?"
"I see no point in wasting more words here, since we’re not all of the same mind."
The three saints of the Ghost Doctor Sect also began to speak out. Those three old men revered Ye Chenfeng tremendously in their hearts—who wouldn’t when Ye Chenfeng’s medical skills had completely won them over?
"Old man Ji, I haven’t even spoken yet! Besides, my son Sun Yang’an has already made it very clear. I, as his grandfather, will absolutely not give up on my great-grandson, so don’t set your sights on Chenfeng," Sun Boyi said.
Then, Sun Boyi glared furiously at the elders of the Xuantian Sect and shouted, "Among you, those who wish to leave the Xuantian Sect, I will not stop you. Those who choose to stay must be prepared for a bloody battle with the three major sects."
Just then, a disciple of the Xuantian Sect hurried into the hall and said to Sun Yang’an, "Sect Leader, a message has been swiftly delivered from the front. The people from the three major sects have already set out towards us."
Upon hearing this message, everyone present turned to look at the sky outside, which was gradually brightening. They had all stayed awake for an entire night.
Sun Yang’an waved his hand at the disciple from the Xuantian Sect who had come to report, signaling him to step back for now.
"Sect Leader, I’m sorry, but I wish to leave the Xuantian Sect."
"Sect Leader, I also wish to leave the Xuantian Sect."
Two elders of the Xuantian Sect, upon hearing that the people from the three major sects had already set out toward them, understood that the current situation only spelled certain death if they stayed. They didn’t believe that the Xuantian Sect could survive the combined attack of the three major sects.
Sun Yang’an waved his hand and said, "Fine, I agree to your departure from the Xuantian Sect. From now on, you two have nothing to do with the Xuantian Sect anymore. Even if our sect survives this time, you’ll never be able to return to the Xuantian Sect in this lifetime."
After hearing Sun Yang’an’s words, the expressions of the two elders of the Xuantian Sect fluctuated. Originally, they had indeed harbored such thoughts; if the Xuantian Sect could survive the battle, they would shamelessly return. But now Sun Yang’an had aired the ugly truth, leaving them with no way back. In the end, they could only leave the hall filled with silent resentment.
After the two elders of the Xuantian Sect had left the hall, Sun Boyi looked out at the increasingly bright sky and murmured to himself, "I wonder if this time Chenfeng can bring us a miracle? This is probably the greatest crisis the Xuantian Sect has ever faced."
Upon hearing Sun Boyi’s murmur, Qin Yi thought to himself, "There will definitely be a miracle. You all just wait and see the miracle that our boss will create!" (To be continued.
